May 31. Luke 21 :20 :10.
Destruction of Jerusalem Foretold.
Golden text Heaven and earth shall
pass away, but my word shall not pass
away. Luke 21- :23.
Time and place. On tho same day
as last lessou, this great day of His
teaching in the Temple, Ho had ex
haustcd every means of convincing
them of Hs Messialiship, by love's
appeal, by argument, by remonstrance
by warning, and by miracle ; and now
having spoken His last word, It re
mained for Mini to wait patiently tho
end. In tho meantime He seems to
have employed theso few remaining
hours in diligently instructing His
apostles and preparing them for the
responsibilities that should come upon
them when Ho was gone.
As Ho passed out of tho Templo for
tho last time, on that Tuesday after'
noon, His disciples called His attention
to tile vastuess and tho beauties of the
Templo building. He answered them
by Having: "As for these things which
ye behold, tho day will come, in the
which thero shall no bo left ono stone
npon another, that shall not lie
thrown down. 1 1 And ns Ho passed
out of tho city and up tho western
elope of Olivet and sat on Us summit for
tho last tlmo.discoursing witn uie uis-
clples as was His pnstom, they asked
Him when theso things snoum como
to pass nnd what should ho tho sign
of their coming J Our lesson Is In part
tho answer to this question.
A warning. Ho first warns them of
something that should como to pass
beforo tho destruction of Jerusalem.
Thero should arise falso Chrlsts, and
they should hear of wars nnd comino
Ions. Notion Bhonld rise against na
tion, and thero should bo earthquakes,
famines, pestilences, fearful sights
and great signs from hoaven. "But
beforo nil theso they shall lay their
hands on you, nnd persecute yon, dcllv-
cring you up to tho synagogues, and
Into prisons, being brought beforo
kings nnd mlors for jny Name's
sake, " Ho drew a real plcturo of tho
history of tho church from tho rosur
rection till the destruction of Jerusa-
lem ; assuring them, however, that not
a hair of their head should perish, and
exhorting them to "possoss their souls
In patlonce," (Verses 8-19.)
First prediction (20). "Whon yo
shall soo Jerusalem compassed with
armies. " On this very spot whero Je-
sus sat and talked, tho famous legion
of tho Roman army was oncampod dur-
inc tho slego, a few years late. The
Investment of tho city by tho armies
of Vespasian nnd Tltus occurred In
tho year 70 A. D. and was a military
feto of such gradual process that tho
Christians had tlmo to depart out of
tho city and fleo tn thn mnnntulne-
Thoso In tho country wero warned not
to enter Into tho city. (21. ) Avail
lng thcmselvo of the cessation of hos
tllltics, from tlmo to tlmo, after tho
first approach against tho city by
Tcrtlns Gnllns and in obedience to
this command of Jesus tho Christiana
retired to a town called Pella, beyond
tho Jordan, nnd not ono of them per
ished in tho siege.
Second prediction (22-24). Tho Ian
guago of tho 22d verso would indleato
that theso days of vengenco were, tho
just penalty for tholr sins, in fnllllll
i ment of threatenlngs that had been
made against them. It was the fulfill
ment of the prophecy In our last lesson
that "Whosoever shall fall upon tho
stono shall bo broken to pieces,
but on whomsoever it shall fall, It will
scatter him as dnst'" Tho enp of
their iniquity was full. Josephus
lys: "No ago, from tho beginning of
tho world, ever producod a generation
fruitful of wickedness ns this.
Verso 21 gives but a faint Intimation
of the terrible suffering of this siege.
In Matthew it is said, "Then shall be
great tribulation such ns was not since
tho beginning of the world to this
time, no, nor over shall ba" And
such was literally truo. Tho horrors
of war, sedition, famine, nnd 'pesti
lenco wero unparalleled in the history
of tho world. The details aro too sicken
lng to recount It was necessary to
throw 000,000 corpses ovor tho walls,
on account of tho stench! while 9,000
aptives wero taken during tho war,
:md 1,100,000 perished in tho siege.
By command of Titus 500 wore crucified
everyday on tho walls around tho city.
That they should be "led away cap
tive into all the nations" is still in
process of fulfillment in tho fact that
there aro now nbout 8,000,000 Jews in
tho world scattered among all the na-
tions of earth "trodden down of the
Gentiles."
Third prediction (2.V2S). In till
discourse tho destruction of Jerusalem
and the second personal coming of
Christ nt ti.o end of tho world are so
interwoven that it is somewhat difii
cult to distinguish tho references Tho
language is highly figurativo and may
lefcr to both events; and Christ passes
from events that were to occur in tho
near fiitrno to thoso which wero ceil
turlcs or mlllcniums off without call
lng attention to tho fact In striking
contrast with His first coming in
weakness us in the babe of Bethlehem
this second coming of tho Son of Man
shall bo "in a cloud with power and
great glory. " it will bo open and
manifest to all nnd accompanied by
such display of personal dignity and
authoritythat all men will at ouca

Wo would llko to toll how good but-'

farms of Missouri. Upon tliolr suc
cessful management depends tho suc
cess of tho creamorles. Wo think,
after nil, upon thein is whero tho
bulk of work nnd worry Is done.
Thero is where tho improvements nro
so much neodod and yet so seldom
found. Wo confidently bcllevo that
for ears to como from the llttlo woll
tilled nnd Intelligently managed dairy
farms of Missouri, will a constant sup
ply of dairy product bo reqnirod to
meet tho domnnd of town nnd country.
Creameries aro usually well equipped,
but the Missouri farmer nnd his wlfo
need enconragemont and wo want them
to fcol that this short treatlso on but
ter making Is especially for them.
Under ordinary circumstances it can
bo adopted.

help us to make butter that scores
high and merits , compliments wher
ever shown nnd what It does ,for ns It
will do for yon. All Its arrangements
nro practical and handy, and by 110
means extravagant
But, to get n llttlo closer to tho sub
ject, our cows are Jersoys. These dai
ry cattle mako milk rich with oily sol
ids, providing thoy nro well fed nnd

for food consumed. If you do not
havo that blood in your herd, juBt
try Bomo that havo a milk nnd butter

seys in Bomo cases havo proven qulto
satisfactory. In tho next place, wo
hnve shelter for our cows and their
food. Wo think this is absolutely es
sential in tho winter tlmo to sccuro
good flavor and richness in tho milk
without which it can not bo dovolopod
in tho butter. Furthermore, yon can
not get tho quantity without good,
warm, comfortablo surroundings and
kind treatment
Then, again, ns strange as it may
appear to many, although wo have a
fine, cool cellar, wo never nso it in
making butter oxcept to storo a but
ter packago in it occasionally. Wo will
tell yon why and how to get along
without tho cellar, because it is a
source of constant fniluro to many.
Our wind pump brings tho water
cool and clear and empties it Into n
galvanized iron vat ono lial ns largo
ns n deep, double-sided wagon box.
All tho water for Btock goes tbrc;igh
this vat beforo going to tho watering
trough. It is sunk in tho ground ono
half its depth and is encased in nn
outer box with six inches of sawdust
between vnt nnd box. Tho vat bus a
light hinged lid like a trunk lid,' made
of old tin, perforated on the sides and
ends to let the air pass through above
the milk. A simple, cheap shed, open
on tho n'orth, is built over this vat to
protect It from the sun and rain. It
sets under the shade of a tree, and tho
whole arrangement cost about 520.
It has needed 110 repairs for twelvo
years, nnd has been in constant use
summer and winter.
Into this vat filled with water is
floated the long, slim, four gallon cans
of milk. Wo tako theso empty tin cans
or setters to the barn nnd strain tho
milk in them as it is drawn from tho
cows, and beforo cooling we float
them iu tho vat of water. We milk
with dry hands and uso every little

churn may bo removed as a lid. We
arrange to draw off with a faucet tho

To Wash a Piano.
From'Good ttoaaeteeplncr.
Having boon told repeatedly that
the best way to clean c piano caso was
to wash it with soap and water, I
somehow never qulto mako np my
mind to try it after alL, for it seemed
as though the soapy water must surely
spoil tho brilliant polish, in spite ot
all c TOTancos to tho contrary; But
when our beautiful piano began to
look dnll and milky, and I roaltzed
that the tlmo had come when some
thing must he dono if I would havo it
restored to Its prlstlno splendor, I de
termined to find .ont, if possible all
about Jt, and then tp make the exrCrl-
ineni resoiuieiy u 1 Decaino convinced
that it really was the best way.
Accordingly the first opportunity
which presented itself was taken to ask
the piano tuner nbout it knowing, that
he was sent ont by ono of the oldest
and most reliable firms in tho country.
"Certainly,'' he replied, in a tono
so convincing as to quite banish
doubts. "Just let mo havo n dish of
tepid, soft water, a coko of soap and
three pioccs ot cloan, sleazy canton
flannel."
When I hod brought the articles do-
Blgnated, he at once proceeded to show
how it was to bo dono.
"Take the first ptoco ot cloth and
Wet it, " ho said, suiting. tho action -to
the word ; "then rub it over the cake
of soap and apply it to tho piano a
small portion of the snrfneo at a time.
Next wet tho second ploce as thor
oughly as possible. With the third
piece dry tho part, rubbing it till It
shines brightly, and do it nil as
quickly as possible, that the soap may
not remain too long upon the polished
surface."
I was delighted with tho result, and
no longer felt any hesitation aboutcon-
tinning the work that ho had begun.
If one is very Bnro to get. a thin, cheap
quality of canton flannel, and is care
ful to follow directions as hero given
them, success is certain.
