SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25. The Dutch Fork Farm Carries Off Trophies At The Great Georgia-Caroiina Fair ,-Won Blue Ribbon Prizes on Magnificent Exhibit of Swine. Some of the Finest Specimens Ever Before Seen at a Fair. Fine Showing of Poultry, Also. With the close of the great Georgia- Carolina Fair, which has been pro nounced the best ever before held in Augusta, the thousands of visitors will carry with them pleasant recollections of the many fine exhibits of stock, for truly no one ever saw a more mag nificent showing. But none will be re called with more Interest than the ex hibit of swine made by Dutch Fork Farm, which is located near Columbia, R. F. D. No. 2, of which Mr. W„ T. Huffman, is manager. 1 . . . ■ ' ' %,, Champion Prince and Champion Belle, weighing 1025 and 1015, Respectively. Dutch Fork Farm has become known throughout Georgia as well es South Carolina—and practically the entire South.—for the high-grade swine and poultry. Shipments are made far and wide, as those who have seen the breed of hogs which Mr. Huffman has adopt ed and given his especial care and time for several years past, have found that there are none better—ls any quite as good. The breed is known as the im ported Tamwortli. They are unusually hardy, healthful, and easily kept: They grow to an enormous size, and being a "Lady May,” 1,100 Pounds, Winner of the Grand Champion Prize. dark red, or rich golden in color, they are pronounced "beauties” by every one who sees them. The herd from this farm carried off the trophies at the fair, winning all blue ribbons, a fact that shows plainly the superior character of breed of the Tamworth hog. Seldom it Is, that an entry of a herd wins all the blue ribbons, and Mr. Huffman Is es pecially proud of his showing at the Augusta fair. And he should be, for there were many competitors for the honors, and some magnificent specimens, I— • . , ) f " - r\ * 1 ! 1 y . 1 . ."i »,i ' a r< W *•! . - * . , .y”*- , A- _ J "Georgia Chief,” 1,000 Pounds, Tamworth Boar, Winner of the Grand Champion Prize. yet when it came to comparison, the Judges saw that the Tamworth were in a class to themselves; they were un questionably superior in every way, and prizes were awarded accordingly. First, ,the exhibit was made separately, when prizes were awarded on each Individual; then the entire herd was shown and Judged with the best herd of each breed, and again the Tamworth* came out victors In the contest for the blue ribbons, winning the sweepstake prize. The reader can easily imagine that the Tamworth must possess qualities than are not found in many breed of swine. “You are of course pleased with your trip to Augusta and the impression your stock made on the visitors and Judges,” was asked Mr. Huffman, and in a mod est mannef he replied, "Well, I expect ed to leave flying more blue ribbons than any one else, for I have raised many breeds of hogs but have discarded all for the Tamworth. They are as far ahoad of other breeds, in my opinion, as you can possibly find. I think I know something about livestock, for I have given it my attention and study for a good many years, and I have found in the Tamworth the combination of all the good points in all other hogs, and for this reason I am now raising this par ticular breed.” The Dutch Fork Farm has stock for sale at all times, any age desired, both swine and poultry and prices are ex ceedingly reasonable, considering qual ity of stock. In addition to the exhibit of hogs, Mr. Huffman also exhibited something like a hundred head of poultry which were greatly admired by fanciers and those who knew one chicken from an other. The Dutch Fork Farm special izes in poultry as well as livestock, rais ing annually thousands of fin# Barred Hocks, Columbian Wyandotte, Buff Wyandotte, Black Langshans and Golden Seabright Bantams as well as White In dian Runner Ducks. In this exhibit as well as the swine, blue ribbon prizes were awarded the many fowls shown by this modern farm. "How many prizes did you win in the poultry show?” was asked Mr. Huffman. ”1 haven’t had time to count them,” was his reply "there were so many and I em naturally gratified at the number that were awarded my exhibits." Mr. Huffman said he Shipped a large number of eggs and fowls each season to many points In th# country. Hl* stock of Indian Runner Duck* number about >OO at pres ent, although he Is supplying the trade dally. From Augusta Mr. Huffman will g 0 to Valdosta to exhibit. He will also have exhibits st the Columbia and , Macon fairs which ojen next week. A NEW ERA DAWNING IN SOUTHERN FARMING Through the European War and Its Depressing Effect Upon the Cotton Market, the Fundamental Truth That the Farmer, Practically the Only Real Producer, Must First Feed Himself and the Hungry World, is Driven Home---Farmers Throughout the South Preparing to Apply to Themselves the Lesson of the Great War, Agree ing That a Blessing Lies Uncovered at the Bottom of Present Difficulties, and Their Faces Are Turned Hope fully to the Splendid Promise of the Future. WALTER E. DUNCAN, Staff Correspondent, The Augusta Herald. War always, depresses the price of cotton, always has, always will. Whether the arena of war be in Am erica or whether the countries of Eu rope form a checkerboard for the con test, when the call to arms Is sound ed and men abandon the pursuits of peace, the effect on the cotton market Is the opposite of thjt which registers an advance in grain and provisions. Food prices go up and cotton goes down—naturally, for war is a destroy er. Locking the wheels of Industry, disturbing the channels of trade and commerce, overturning the established order of things, doubling and tlirlb ling the premium on money and ex hausting and impoverishing, war is the natural enemy of cotton. When the toscin of war is sounded the grpat de mand of the world is not for wearing apparel however economical the pro duct, but for food; the problem, of warring nations is not so much how to clothe armies but how to feed man and beast—and those millions of peo ples not of the armies, left to shift for themselves in countries whose destiny hangs upon the result of war are con fronted with the same problem. This truth has never been more strikingly demonstrated than at the present time. Because of The war in Europe the Southern farmer finds it impossible to dispose of his ootton crop except at about half of what he expected to get for it and only at a price which will not cover cost of pro duction, while on the other hand the Western farmer, the world clamoring for his tvehat and grain at greatly ad vanced prices, is in clover. Here in the South the condition has been suddenly brought about that a good sized hog is worth more than a bale of cotton. Food prices advanced in Europe by war are as a matter of course proportionately boosted here. The cotton farmer who has not raised his own foodstuffs and feedstuffs must, like every one else, dig deeper and pay dearer for the necessaries of life because of the same war that de preciates the value of his cotton and cuts his revenue by half. True it is that an abnormal condi tion exists and that relief will come with the restoration of peace even though no agency may he found in the meantime to ease the strain; but the fact remains, stands out clearly, that the South, making too much cotton to the exclusion of food products, is now facing a crisis, the most serious since the days of secession. It is not a call to arms but it Is A revolutionary call —a call to Southern farmers to revo lutionize their method of farming, to gain their independence through the making of the most of their opportuni ties, becoming feeders of the world as well as to clothe It. With a 16,000,000-bale crop on hand and something like 3,000,000 bales brought over from the 1913 crop, and with an American consumption of only 6,000,000 bales, the Southern farmer, the Southern banker and the Southern supply merchant recognize, one and all alike, that the crisis is at hand Yet it would be difficult to find a man, the more especially a farmer of even ordi nary intelligence, who will not agree that the present existing conditions can be regarded as nothing short of a blessing, the disguise of which is al ready swept aside. X base this state ment upon my personal talks with farmers, bankers and merchants in more than 25 counties of Georgia and South Carolina. I have yet to meet a man, however hard he may be hit, who does not heartily agree that if the Southern farmer takes home to him self the lesson he has been taught, the result will more than compensate for whatever loss and whatever inconven ience and whatever suffering there may be now or to come. The Southern farmer has been preaching to himself and far-sighted men have been for years preaching to the Southern farmer the doctrine of di versified crops, the advantage of living at home, producing home supplies, making each farm self-sustaining, lure of high-priced cotton has, how ever, overridden the soundest economic principle. In every community, how ever, there are to be found men who have adhered to Us logic and who, putting the theory of living at home into practice, are today the farmers who feel the pinch of a war-depressed cotton market and war-advanced food prices leas keenly. To these it Is an Inconvenience rather than a problem. But in spite of individual and or ganized* effort, the average Southern farmer has year after year gone on depending upon his cotton money to pay his cotton debt and to provide himself and his family with the neces saries of life. The higher the market climbed the more cotton production has cost year after year until now the average cotton farmer must of neces sity get ten cents a pound or better for his cotton merely to pay expense of making it before he can think about his own profit or figure upon the fruits of his labor. That is only a natural result. It Is simply the law of cause and effect. If cotton should bring fifteen cents a pound for the next fifteen years and as much cotton were produced each year for that length of time as has been produced this year and In I#lß, at the end of fifteen years the Houth would be nearer bankrupt than today unless in addition to cotton and in proportion to the ootton crop the farmers of the South had produced their own food stuffs and feedstuff*. Reduced to the final analysis, the farmer and the miner are the world's only producer*. All others are con sumed. The world look* to It* farms for sustenance. The farmer must feed not only himself but the whole world with Its millions of non-producers. When, as has been the rase In the South, millions of farmers, Instead of helping to produce food for the world, themselves depend upon other farmers of another section for food, demand is THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA, Increased, supply is decreased, the cost of living becomes a heavier bur den upon all people alike; and famine is the ultimate prospect. The farmer Is, however, no more to blame than the banker and the banker no less than the supply merchant, and neither so much to blame for the con ditions that have prevailed upon Southern farms as are the landlords. Cotton has been the one basis of credits and the sole basis of farm rentals. Seventy percent of the cotton crop is made by tenant farmers. They pay annual rentals of more than 4,- 000,000 bales. If to secure land on which to farm tenants must raise cot ton, if to secure advances on which to make crops farmers must raise cot ton, cotton, cotton, nothing but cot ton, it Is only to be expected that the cotton which they plant to produce In excess of rent and advances will, with the 30 per cent made by the land, owning farmers, create u surplus. Banks, landlords and supply merchants have made cotton the so-called money crop, and in so doing have retarded the South's agricultural progress, but it Is a healthy sign that now appears The landlord Is realizing the extent of his responsibility; he will take oorn and oats and cotton, hogs and cotton, farm products of all kinds and cotton, less cotton, for rentals. Supply mer chants in many sections are agreeing to carry farmer customers over pro vided they will sow grain crops now. Banks will make advances more read ily hereafter to the farmer who wants money with which to buy hogs or to stock his place with cattle than to the man who agrees to plant so many acres of cotton. The new order of things is already becoming established. More grain is being sown throughout the South than in a decade. Next year the man who travels through the country will see corn fields and cotton patches rather than cotton fields and corn patches. Here, there and everywhere farms are even now being fenced for cattle. There is a greater demand for brood sows than in many years, and In a few years, at most the Southern country will be literally overrun with hogs. An acre in wheat will furnish a year's supply of flour for an average family. Once the farmers of the South dem onstrate to themselves, by their own experience, the benefits and the ad vantages of making less ootton and more hog and hominy, less cotton and more home products, Icsr cotton and more foodstuffs, feedstuffs, grains and grasses, there will never again be any danger of an over-production of cot ton. The farmer will discover, to his own satisfaction, that he will get more for half a crop than he has been get ting for a full crop—and, the best part of it, that he will get it. Making his own supplies, his cotton money will not be exhausted for food. Instead of making a money crop he will be mak ing a surplus money crop. And given a rest, his cotton lands, eaten up by acids in commercial fertilizers, will take on new strength and through leg urns new fertility, and enhance in value. The money of the South is tied up in the 1914 cotton crop, but the day of the South Is dawning and will break into a glorious properlty as never before known If the Southern farmer will con tent himself with having made enough cotton this year to supply the world demand until the European war is ended and normal conditions have been restored, and leaving cotton out of his calculations until then turn to the soil —the richest under the sun—and make It produce something to help feed a world so hungry that It cannot now give thought to what it shall wear. If the nations of Europe continue at war, America must feed the hundreds of millions of Europeans who otherwise must face famine, and the South, the richest section of America, must do her share. Th* new day is dawrjfcg What If the darkest hour comes Just before the dawn 1 A great deal has been said about th* bankers and the merchants standing by the- farmer* now, seeing them through the crisis, lending a helping hand. Of course the banksrs and the merchants ars going to stand by. They must, for their own pro tection, for their own salvation. Should they push the farmer to ths wall they would find themselves up against the dead wall of ruin. No other section Is so directly dependent upon the fanner aa Is the agricultural South. Here as nowhere else the farmer Is the backbone of the country, the most In dependent and the most imwarful man In all the world If he will only realize th* truth, make the most of his op portunity, and farm as well as to grow cotton. To come Into hi* own th* Southern farmer must first fsed himself, then help fsed the world, and If he does that the world will consume, at a bet ter price, all the cotton he can make In addition.

CLOSING OF THE GOSPEL AGE 6lgniftcanca of Earthquakes The Part They Play In Nature—ln Grace. Thoir Association With the Reign of Sin and Death —Grand Results to Be Expected Stability of the New Order of Things In the Messianic Kingdom—Dark Hour Preceding the Millennia! Morning of Blasting. October 18.— Pastor Russell’s text today was, “There shall ho great earthquakes In divers places, and famines and pestilences; au d fearful sights and great signs shall there he from Heaven.” (Luke 21.11.) He said: It is far from our thought that tn Itself an earthquake la a sign of the end of the Age; but the prevalence of earthquakes since the beginning of tills twentieth century properly enough attracts our attention to “What say the Scrlptuyes?” upon tills subject. Our text Is from the Master’s own lips —a part of Ills description of the trouble coming upon the world In the close of thi« Gospel Age, preparatory to the Inauguration of the Millennial Age and Its glorious manifestation of righteousness under the King of kings. The Muster was answering a ques tlon asked by Ills disciples respecting the End of the Age and the signs which would mark Its close. In the context our Lord bad told them that they might ax pec t to hear of ware and tumults, but not to be terrified; for although such things would occur; they would not he Indications that the end of the Age was near. Then, com Ing to the events to be expected at the close of the Agp, lie used the words of our text. He also declared that before these terrible Indications of the End of the Age, Ills disciples would suffer persecutions In the synagogues, church es, etc., for Qis sake and for the Truth’s sake. Fire of This Day Symbollo. Our Adventist friends have also been calling attention to Scriptures predict ing great trlhulution upon the world In the very near future; but our mes ■age Is a very different one from theirs and la used for a very different purpose. Their message la that the convulsions of nature now due will re sult In “a wreck of matter and a crush of worlds’’—ln the utter destruction of our race and the reduction of this eurth to a mass of cinder; and they uso this message as a club to drive the wicked to seek protection of the Lord Be It notlcwl how different 1* our reference to these calamities. We hold With the Scriptures that “the earth • bldetb forever”; that cold and heat, summer and winter, will continue as long as the earth remains; and that God made not the earth In vain, hut formed It to be Inhabited.—Hoclealastes 1A; Genesis 8:22; Isaiah 45; 18. We have already pointed out that the fire of this Day of the Lord will he a symbolic one. Just a* the “fiery trials” of the Church throughout this Age b(i.vo not generally consisted even tn part of literal fire; and thut the fiery troubles coming upon the world will overthrow present Institutions political, social, financial and religious —and will engulf the whole world In anarchy. In the Scriptures this is symbolically called In some places a flood and In others a consuming fire. We have also pointed out that the passing away of present Institutions, symbolically called “the heavens and the earth that are now,” will be fol lowed by the establishment of “a new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelletb righteousness”—the reorgan lcntlon of soctoty along lines of Divine approval. Intimated by the words of our Lord's prayer, "Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth, as it la done in Heaven.” Fearful Bighte and Great Wonders. We will not attempt to prognoetlcati the ebaracier of the frightful signs which belong to the closing of this Age; but they are very particularly mentioned by our Ix>rd and were also foretold by the Prophet Joel, saying “I will show wonders In heaven above and signs In the earth hcncatb, blond and fire and pillars of smoke.”—Joel 230; Acts 2:1!) The Apostle Paul refers to the satm thing In Hebrews 12:20-28. He allude* to the establishment of the Law Covi nant at Mount Mina I and the wonder fill manifestations which at that tinu caused Moses and nil Israel to feat and quake. Then he tells us that those events were typical, or figurative, of the still more wonderful shakings, signs, etc., to tie expected at the cloa log o f this Gospel Age, when the King dom of Ood Is shout to be established and the New Covenant about to go Into effect between God and mankind at the hands of the great Mediator, Jeaus Christ and the Church. BEAD HEBALD WANT ADS St. Paui >u i an es turn tile Word of the Lord upon this subject implies tin removing of all things that can bo shaken, so that only the unshakable things will remain: und these unshak able things he associates with Ood Kingdom of righteousness. When with the eyes of our understanding open we look about us, we see very many things thut evidently are not permn uent. not right, not satisfactory to God and to all who love righteousness and hate Iniquity; and when we reflect tlmt the shaking will be such ns tfl loosen and destroy all these Imperfect things of the present time, we can Imagine better than we can describe the sever lt.V of that shaking. In the Revelation this sumo thought Is expressed under the figure of n mighty earthquake, the like or which there hud not been before aud will never be thereafter. (Revelation 10:18 1 Throughout the Apo'ulypse the term earthquake is used to symbolically rep resent revolution What we are to ex Pect. then, will he u great revolution a great earthquake, the great shaking of the present Institutions which will overthrow everything that Is not oi the Lord's establishment ami approval Xu the Divine order there seems to be a harmony between the literal and the figurative; therefore the literal earthquakes have their part to play In the great Program. Not only are thoj to serve the Church as signs corrob orating the prophecies respecting the approach of the great Time of Troubh which closes this Gospel Age. but thej are to serve nlso another purpose n particular purpose. The Scriptures clearly Intimate that our physical earth has not yet attained the grand perfection which the Lord designs that It should have, to be 111 for the blessed ones whose home, ns the Paradise of God, it shall la throughout nil eternity Be It noticed that the Scriptures dearly poibt on! that, the Little Flock, called of God during this Gospel Age to be the Bride of Christ, are to experience a chaugi of uuture from human to spirit, which will prepare them for Heavenly comll tious, spiritual conditions. But for tin remainder of mankind God's provision according to His Word, is not tin change of nature, hut a restoration P the perfection of human nature a> the development of the earth to tl perfect condition which will make i as a whole the antitype of the Gurd of Eden —the Paradise restored. Deluge Then, Fire and Earthquake Ni . We have already called attention ; the fact that the Hood of waters i Noah’s time wus caused by the bre; Ing of the Htst of u series of rlngH tie once surrounded the earth after I manner of tho rings of the planet Knl urn. Foreknowing the wickedm that would develop amongst mankli. and the power that would be exercls amongst nmn by tho giants of th.. day (Genesis 0:1), God lmd so time the breaking of this last ring that t flood of waters would serve the pe peso of overthrowing that order n things and inking ready for the in feature of the Divine Program, t 1 * present order, which began after tl; Deluge, upon the coming of Noah m his family out of the Ark. Similarly, tho Scriptures teach. (,• has reserved for the appropriate Hi in tho eml of this Ago certain gr. physical disturbances necessary to l! development of the earth anil Its prep Brat lon for the Roigti of Rlghtcousnc: und blessing of mankind, so that tl troubles incidental to tills change wr come upon the world as dlaastrou floods, “tc., and will co-operate In tin bringing of mankind Info sore strulr and trials of faith anil patience, which will result In anarchy and the complete shaking, not only of the physical earth but also of the soclnl earth and the eo cleslastlcal, or "heavenly," Institutions in order that all unstable things tuny pass away and that the new order of things may he ushered lu on n permn neat basis, having the Divine approval, and meaning ultimately th* grandest blessing for onr race. From this standpoint n certain class can road the signs of the times lntelll gently and wlih confidence; and this class the Scriptures call the Lord’* Little Flock (Luke 12:32), counted fool lsh by the world, but counted of tin Lord as “the wise” who are to “under stand.” (Daniel 12:1p.) To these the Mast«T Himself addressed these wordt “There shall he signs In the sun. In tbs moon and In the stars; and upot; earth distress of nations, with perplex ity; men’s hearts fnlllug them for feai and for looking after those things which are coming upon the earth; for the powers of heaven shall b« shaken.’ And again, “Wlieu these things bogto to come to pass, then look up, and Ilf up your heads; for your dellveraun draweth nlgh.“~Luke 21:21), 20, 28, The Lord’s consecrated people, pos sessed of Ills Spirit, cannot In an.v sense of the word rejoice at the trib elation coming upon others. Their ri J'doing can be only In r#s|»#ct to thi glorious tilings which they liopo to ex perlenca, and which they know to hi near by these outward signs. Thcl; rejoicing Is not merely ou their own behalf, hut also ou behalf of the whole world; for tbej' hnve the assurance of th# Herlptares that beyond this Time of Trouble, which looms up as u (lark cloud to cover the whole social world there Is a silver lining; ami that short ly the glorious Hun of Righteousness will blnzo forth, dispel every cloud r. n j all ths shadows of Ignorance and su perstltlon, and bring to the world of mankind the rich blessings of Divine favor secured through th* precious blood of Christ. Great Physical Chang** Now Du*. From this a l and point the news of de structive earthquake* here and there appeals to us as Incidental corrobora tion of the prophecies of Soiiptun* which show us that we arc very near the long-threatened Time of Trouble. USE HERALD WANT ADS. SEVEN True, there may be a lull for a brief period; but we have confidence that our Lord’s prophecy as recorded In our text has u meaning, aud that the time for Its fulfillment must be very near at hand. We are well aware that the natural man and his scientific leaders will consider the association of the facts of our day with the words ut tered more than eighteen centuries ago as very foolish. We ure aware that they will say, as the Apostle l’eter de clared they would, that “all things continue as they have been from the foundation of the world,” and that such changes have boon going on, and will continue to do so, without any relationship to our Lord’s Second Presence und the Time of Trouble with which this Age will end. (2 Pe ter 3:3, 4.) This Is their view—the re verse Is ours. The Word of God teaches us that at this time of transition from the Gospel Age to the. Messianic Age we are to expect wonderful contortions of na ture and some radical changes In tho earth’s condition. In order that it may be the better adapted to the wants of nuin throughout eternity. It Is God’s own declaration that He will make the place of His feet glorious—the earth. His “footstool.”—lsaiah 00:13; 66:1. Evidently great, and • wonderful changes will be effected, some of which will he brought about gradual ly. For Instance, we all know of the gradual chnnge of the temperate zona —lts extension further and further to ward the poles. We notice also the increasing moderation nearer to the equator. These who recognize the Power of Ood can luive full confi dence that He is able to jterform all the glorious promises of His Word re specting the paradisaical conditions of this earth for the use of mankind dur ing the Millennial Age and the ages to follow. Bymbolio*l Earthquakes —Revolutions. As already Intimated, social upheav als are pictured In the Word of God under the symbolism of earthquakes, “mountains carried Into th# sea,” etc. Himllarly, uprisings of the social ele ments In anarchy arc pictured as tidal waves engulfing tin* “mountains”—gov ernments This is one of the most forceful pictures used, not only In the Psalms, but also In the Revelation and In our Lord’s symbolical reference to the great Time of Trouble which Is near at band. Of this time the Proph et I>anlel has declared thnt H will bo “a Time of Trouble such as was not since there wns n nation;” and our Lord, when quoting this prophecy, adds, "No, nor ever shall be,”—Daniel 12:1; Matthew 24:21. Let ns not be misunderstood to be ad vocating anarchy or revolution of any kind. On the contrary, we are giving heed to the Master's Injunction that ull who are His true followers seek pence and pursue it, and so far ns possible live peaceably with all men; that like Himself they should not resist evil with evil, force with force, hut should rather commit their way unto the Lord, seek to walk In His paths, and rely upon Him for the results that will ho to their profit and His glory. So fur from counseling anarchy, we hold and teach that even the meanest and poorest form of government Is su perior to anarchy; and tn all sympathy and kindness we counsel those who are tending toward Socialism that they are niiMuspeetlngly "hatching cocka trice eggs;” for tinder present condi tions Socialism Is absolutely Impossi ble. The rich will not give up their advantages without a struggle to the death; and this, ns soon as Socialism shall hnve gained the power which it 1* seeking, will spell nnnrchy for the world. For those now starting In with Socialistic hope* will find those hopes vain, and will become so angered, so disappointed, that they will be soured, embittered, mad, with the deceptions of their theories and the Impossibility of carrying them out, us they Intended, along the lines of benevolence. As a result they will be drawn to ths des perate methods of the anarchist Would that nil could nee with us what the Scriptures so clearly Indi cate; namely, the Divine foreknowl edge of past present and future con ditions, and the Divine arrsiwemsnt of these for the highest welfare of all who seek righteousness, all who hearken to the voice of Him that apeaketh from Heaven I Koch the Lord urges to take His yoke utton them and learn of Him; that they accept of trials and difficulties Incidental to loyaKy to Him, nrid thus lie counted worthy of a share tn the highest and best of all God's gifts-to he sharers with our Lord Jesus In His Throne, In His na ture and in the power which shortly He will exercise In the blessing of all mankind with ItestltuthWc- Acts 3.1021. Ths Mor* Exoellent Way. We urge all who ore th# Lord’s to seek more und more to understand His wonderful I’lan of Hulvatlon, to glori fy Him with their bodies and their spirits, which are His, and to wait for His time aud His manner of bringing In the blessings which all see are so much needed by the poor “groaning creation.” Meantime, all such should cultivate the graces of the Holy Spirit or, tt* the Apostle puts It, "pst on Christ," His character, Ills meekness, patience, long suffering, brotherly kindness, love, against which things there Is no law.
