The South has been almost
wholly an agricultural region, and
its farming industries in the past

greater production of cotton, tobac

less variety of articles contributing
to the profits of the growers. To this
is to be tdded the gain of manufac
turing, -constantly going forward to
more extraordinary attainments and
wonderfully helped by the abundance
"ld cheapness of materials like iron

Expansion of production in the

"At the time Postum was first put

to shift to Postum. It was easy

THE PULPIT. v
A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY
THE REV. H. G. GREENSMITH.>;>
Theme: Limiting Jesus Christ,.
Oswego, N. Y.-In the First Bap
tist Church, \here, Sunday morning,)
the minister, the Rev. Harry Glad
stone Greensmith, preached on ^Lim
iting Jesus Christ" The sermon
touched upon what he declared to be
the limitations of the Emmanuel
Movement;- He also spoke of Chris
tian Science. The text was from Mat
thew 13:58: "And He did not many
mighty works there; because of their
unbelief." Mr. Greensmith said,
among other things:
Even the Holy One of God, seem
ingly, had limitations. He was a
urophet without honor in His own
land. In Christ we find' the wisdom,
of the ages, the skill of the universe.
He was the "vis medicatrix" of all
science, religion and medicine. ? Pre
eminent over all, and yet limited. .
In Capernaum, per contrary.to Naz
areth, there seems to have been no
limit to the "powers" of Jesus. There
and in adjacent placea He had
wrought the mightiest miracles
known to the ages. No other man
has turned water into wine, br healed
a nobleman's son of palsy. None but
Jesus has cleaned out devils out of
the temple of man's soul, or out of
the visible temple of God's Kingdom
on earth. '
Entering into Jerusalem, His be
loved city, the city which caused the
very nerve centres of His being to
leap/ with joy, or travail in anguish,
He saw a man impotent for thirty
eight years. By a word from the Ups
of this "rejected Nazarene" the man
takes up his bed and goes away re
joicing. Eveat here we find limita
tions. Christ 'could do nothing of
Himself. "I am come in My Father's
name and ye receive Me not" "The
Scriptures testify of Me, and yet ye
will not come unto Me." And here
we see forthcoming "isms." "If an
other come in his own name, him ye
will receive." And how wUd the
world has gone over Dowie and Mrs.
Eddy. They set forth a religion In
their own name, and people have gone
wild, and Christ instead of being ex
alted has been bowed from His
throne. Eddyism, falsely called
"Christian Science," as there is so
little of Christ in it, Is nothing short
of idolatry, worse than Mariolatry,
and Dowieism, is fast "going unto its
own7'-to its founder. Christ's pow
er is limited by these two fads.
Entering the temple one Sabbath,'
Jesus meets a man whose right hand
is withered. "What will He do?"
cries the Scribes. "Will He heal
him?'" the Pharisees ask. And in
spite ol them, Jesus shows forth His
power and commands the man to
stand forth. Then after a quiet talk
on His sovereignty, He orders the
man to stretch forth his hand, and he
was immediately healed. This in
creased the anger of His adversaries
to madness, and they plotted how
they might destroy Him, thus limiting
again His powers.
Thus far we have seen Christ's
power over the lower limbs, In that
He caused a man to 'walk for the first
time in thirty-eight years; to another
He gives- the use of an arm that was
-useless; o:hers who on the point pf
death He restores to strength. These
exemplify Hte. powers over life, but,
entering the City of Nain, He shows
His power over death. The only son
of a widowed mother ls being carried
to the grave. Jesus commands him
to arise. And the young man sits up
and speaks: To another born blind
He gives sight. Surely such miracu
lous deeds ought to have removed all
unbelief. But, sad to relate, He could
not do in His own city any mighty
works because of their unbelief. Even
His own disciples at times manifested
this unbelief, or lack of explicit trust.
John in prison shows this spirit in his
last message. Christ's anster was
not sufficient to remove all doubt,
even when Ho said:* "Go, tell John
what ye have seen and heard: The
blind receive their sight, lame walk,
deaf hear, and the dead aro raised,"
etc. And all these doubts limited the
Son of God.
Ia the calling of the twelve we see | 1
Christ's limitations. He was sub
servient to His Father's will, and He
must have helpers with Him. Every
step He took He counseled with the ,
Father before taking lt. ? "And He 1
continued all night in prayer to God.
And when lt was day He appointed
twelve, that they might be w:lth Him,
and that He might send them forth
to preach, and to have authority to
heal," cast out demons. "And as He
came down from the mount a great
number of people from all sections
came to hear Him and to bc healed
of their diseases. And the multitude
sought to touch Him, for power came
forth from Him, and He healed them
all." Now, this power of healing was
gi vt? to these new "Christs," or, as
they were afterwards called, "Chris
tians," at Antioch. These men re
ceived their new power and went out
under orders. How well they obeyed
ls recorded. it
They were to be voices of God. t
"For it is not ye that speak, but the t
Spirit of your Father that speaketh t
in you." "I will give ycu a mouth/ i
and. wisdom, which all your adver- i
saries shall not be able to withstand i
or to gainsay." And they weat- I
preached, cast out devils, anointed c
with oil those-that were sick, healed c
them all. t
All ;^wer was given to them which i
Christ Trad. "I have given you au- c
thority;" He said- to the seventy, c
Peter was rebuked for not using au- ?
thority over the waves upon which he I
attempted to walk. "Oh, thou of lit- I
tie faith, wherefore didst thou f
doubt?" J
The disciples were also rebuked be
cause their little faith prevented their
healing the demoniac boy.
Power had been given them, and
they were rebuked for their failure
to use it, just as much as the one
talent man was rebuked.
These brief suggestions lead to the
question: When did the authority
given to the disciples end? Why
should there not be direct manifesta
tions of the miraculous saving power
aver diseases to-day among the disci
ples of Christ as in the apostolic days?
rhe closing of the canon certainly
lid not close the door of healing.
Another question arises: Why
should we limit the power of the
Spirit?, Surely the psychical nature
s not greater than the physical?
I am in great sympathy with the
immanuel movement. I am reading
ill I can get my hands on about it,
but when I read the wonderful
manges wrought In so many lives, I
isk, Why could not we cast him out?
SVhy cannot the same mighty works
JO wrought in Boston, as were
wrought in Capernaum? Is this not
mtt'.ng a limitation on the work of
Christ? . And ls not this limitation
limply because our faith is so "little,"
md Christ cannot do; many mighty
yorks here because of our unbelief ; .

Act. 16:16-40-Golden Text,
Acts 16:31-Commit Vs. 29-31.
TIME.-A. D. 52. PLACE.-Phil
ippi.
EXPOSITION. - I. A Midnight
Prayer and Praise Service in Jail, 25,
126. This ls one of the most inspiring
and instructive prayer and praise ser
vices on record. (1) The circum
stances-in a dark hole, with torn
and bleeding and aching backs1, and
with a very dark outlook for th?, mor
row. A gocd time to pray (Ps. 50:
15; comp. Jas. 5:13). But it might
seem a strange time to sing praises
(Luke 6:22, 23, ch. 5:41; Ro. 5 3;
Phil. 2:17; 1 Pet. 14:4;Eph. 5:20).
Sorrows and aches taken in that way
become Bweet friends. (2) Th?, tlue
-midnight. There is no better time
for a prayer and praise meeting. It
might seem as if Paul and Silas would
have been better employed sleeping
and getting strength for the next
day's trials. But strength can often
be better gained by prayer than- by
sleep. (3) The result-"a great
earthquake," "fsundatlons of the pri
son shaken," "every one's bands j
loosed," tne Jailor and his whole I
household converted and rejoicing.
This land needs a moral earthquake..
Let us >,ray for it. There are many
prisoners who need tu have their j
bands loosed Let ur pray f?r that. ?
There ls great need of .the conversi in
of whole households. Let us pray for
this also. Paul would never have
gotten a hearing from those prisoners 1
had ho not himself been cast into pri- !
son. They were doubtless a hard- j
ened crowd, more used to profanity !
and blasphemy than to prayer and j
songs of praise.
II. The Jailor at Philippi Suddenly
and Thoroughly Converted, 27-34. In
a moment the brutal jailor becomes,
an ' anxious inquirer. He asked a !
great question. A question every.
man should ask. Jiote why*the jailor
asked it, how he asked it, from whom j
he asked it. (1) Why: Because he
was lost and had been brought to see :
it and feel it. The jailor had not
been listening with the prisoners as
Paul and Silas prayed and sung. He .
had been fast asleep. .But God woke
him up. It is a great thing to .have
God 'wake us up. ' He had been j
brought face to face with death. He
had been brought face to face with
two holy men. He h^id been brought
face t* face with God, and he saw
himself utterly lost, as any sane man
sees himself when brought face to
face with eternity and God. (2)
How: In deep earnestness. None ct
the trifling and shallowness charac
teristic of so many modern "inquiry- j
ro -ms" here - "trembling for fear, |
fell down." Men whiz ask this qaes- j
tion, in this spirit, will soon be rejoic
ing, as this jailor was. (3) From
whom: From men who knew the an
swer; from mea who knew God's
word (v. 32); from men who were
Baved themselves. A gi eat answer to
the great question. But a very sim-;;
pie answer. What ls it to believe on ?
the Lord Jesus? To "receive Him";
or take Him (Jno. 1:12). Take Him"
as our Saviour, .who died in our placa ,
(Isa. 53.6; 1 Pet. 2.24; GaL 2:13). .
Take Him as the One who rose agaia '
to be our Lord and King, and tc de- j
liver us from sin's power (Acts 2:36:
Heb. 7:25). A^ain it is to commit
ourselves and all that we have to Him
(2 Tim. 1:12). Cast yourself upon
Him, surrender absolutely to Him,
leave all with Him, that is the step
that saves a man. But Paul and Silas
did not stop with merjiy telling the ??
jailor to believe on th?* Lo~d Je3us, j
they 4 Spake the Word" unto , aim
(Rom. 10.17; comp. Jno. 20:31).
Here is where many workers make a
mistake. They rightly tell people to
"bc.eve," but they do not give them
the word about Christ crucified and
risen to enable them to believe. It
does not take long to get a man saved
if he is in earnest. This jailor seemed
? hard case. He was brutal, he waa
Indifferent, he was utterly ignorant.
But in an hour (\. 33) he had passed
out of suicidal despair into the rejoic
ing, gentleness and abounding hrspl?
:aluy of a baptized believer in Christ.
Surely there ls Lothing about the way
3? salvation that it takes long to tell
jr long to learn. One houris suffi*
:ient for the whole business. Note
?e results of genuine conversion: (1)
Transformation from brutality to ten.
1er compassion. (2) Open and im
mediate confession of Christ in bap
tism, (3) Gr ?at joy (R. V.). (4)
Generous hospitality: (5) A trans
formed home.
JJI. Paul and Silas Released From
Tail, 35-40. In tht morning the mag
strates were frightened. They no
onger wished t- punish Paul and Si
as, but to get rid of them as quickly
is possible. The earthquake had set
;hem thinking. Bat they were not to
;e:: rid- of Paul as easily as they j
hought. He was a Roman citizen ?
md they had beaten him publicly and
incondemned. This was a serious of
,'er.se. They had beaten him publicly
md now they must justify him as J
mblicly. Their former severity j1
hanges into utter obsequiesness. They
:aroe and they besought and they
?reught and they begged. They did
lot hasten their departure from the
:itjr. They comforted the young dis?
:ipi.es before they left. Their imprl
lonment had turned out to their
icnor and to the glory of God icf.
tom. 8:28). The officials were very
oolish. They ought to have begged
faul to stay instead of to have gone.
Prejudice Against the Stage In China.
So great is the official prejudice
gainst the stage in China that it
xtends even to the children actors,
nd th?se are prohibited from hold*
ag any post under the government,
'our years ago the grandson of an
ctor named Cheng was appointe!
ranslator to the Chinese legation at
terlin. Cheng in his day was in .
tie very front of his profession, and
anked as high in the esteem of all c
lasses of society as Sir Henry Ir- c
lng did in his country. Yet the
ominatlon of his descendant cause;l
n outcry among Chinese official?, .
nd a memorial praying for his re- \
?oval was presented .to the 'Empress g
owager. The new official, it was c
ointed out, belonged to the castle c
f actors, who ranked with barbers 1
ad chiropodists, as the three lowest t
lassies in the oountry. The younger '
heng, however, was able to prove (

New . York, Special. - Inspector
Mccafferty, chief of the New York
detective bureau, has- given v out
the first authentic statement on
the murder- of Elsie Sigel that ha9
been made by the police since tho
discovery of the girl's body on June

"We shall catch the murderer,"
the inspector said. "Delay does not

whole country is one vast rat-trap
with every exit guarded.
i "The girl was killed between 10.
o'clock in the morning and noon of
Ju: r 9 and we believe Leon Ling is

possible accomplices. We have Chung
Bing. From his room in Eighth aven
ue, Leon Ling was thought to haye
gone straight to Washington and there
Bent the 'Don't worry' telegram sign
ed 'Elsie' received on the night of"

It is definitely and clearly estab
lished that the trunk was carted
from the Eighth avenue house in
which the body was found. to a
Chinese laundry at No. 370 West 126
street and thence to Newark, N. J.,
whence it was returned to the room
of Leon Ling? where it was discover
ed. It has-been shown, too, that
Ling was personally busied in mov
ing the trunk about.
It seems clear that tb have been at
the various places mentioned Ling
could not have spared the time for a
trip to Washington. Those receiving
him and the trunk all showed sus-'
picious forknowledge of his coming.
"No other murder that I can re

OULTRY
FOR
PROFIT
How Old is Biddy?
English, authorities hold that there
is no certain test of age in fowls.
But they admit that, in general, the
spurs both of hens and cocks will dis
tinguish a two-year-old bird.,
There, are exceptions, however, in
which'really young birds,develop old
looking spurs, while really second
year birds preserve the short, rounded
spurs of a cockerel.
The texture of the legs is a guide,
to some extent, and so are the deli
cacy and freshness of the Skin of the
face and comb, but still an occasional
hen will preserve her youthful ap
pearance to a startling degree.
Th? skin of the body ls a better
?test, as it- becomes coarser and dry
er-looking with age.
Formerly the wing- feathers were
considered an absolute test as be-1
tween a pullet and a hen, even after!
the long practice of early breeding
had made the moulting of early pul
lets quite common.
An Austrian authority says that a
pullet will" show rose-colored veins
on the? surface of the skin, under the
; wings.
There will also be long silky hairs
jj growing there. After a year old
these hairs disappear, as also do the
veins', and the skin grows white and
velnless.
It is more difficult to judge the age
of water fowls than of other poultry,
partly from the absence of spurs',
partly from greater longevity, and
partly because the water kec. j their
legs soft and fresh.
Ducks waddle more heavily as they
grow older, and after two or three
years they acquire a depression down
the breast. - /
An abdominal pouch of consider
able size indicates great age in geese.
. Turkeys up to a year old are said
to have black feet, which grow pink
up to three years of age, when they
gradually turn gray and dull.
Age in pigeons is often told by the
color of the breast. In squabs, the
flesh looks whitish as seen through
the skip, but becomes more and more
purplish as the bird grows older.
Poultry in Shaping Boards.
The . weight placed on the top of
the chicken is used to give a compact
appearance. This may be an iron 01
brick. If chickens are hung by legi
after being plucked lt. spoils theil
appearance. Plan used by Ontaric
?Experiment Station. .
It rays to Canonize.
'A capon hears the same relation to
a Tooster as a steer to a bull, and ae
bull meat is not equal to steer meat
so are roosters not equal to capons.
When cockerels become capons
they cease to grow combs and wat
tles, do not crow and fight, grow
much faster and finer flesh and bring
more money than ordinary chickens.
lt a cock weighs ten pounds, a
capon will weigh fifteen, and bring
three, to four times the price, one
hundred.and twenty-five dollars often
being paid for 100 capons.
It certainly pays to caponize sur
plus .cockerels. A set of tools, with
iatructions foi using, costs
and only ordinary skill is re
r'or caponizing, cockerels must be
less than six weeks old and weigh a
pound or more.
Favorite Geese.
A flock of well-bred Toulouse
geese. These are about the best geese
'for average farm conditions.
Incubator Chicks.
Chicks must be kept clean either
with hens or in a brooder. To- clean
them every day is not too often. The
heat from the brooder makes drop
pings produce foul air, as do hens
when, brooding chicks. Give no feed
until the clutch is at least thirty-six

The kidney secretions became scan

made me better, and I used the rem
