both clanuinz the State and the Legis

will req-.tire the otlicial count tout least

our business is, like David, to servo our
own generation; tho people now living,

"Well, now. let u? look around earnest
ly, prayerfully, in a common-sense way,
and sen what wa can do for our general ion.
first of all, let us sc.; to it that, as far as
v.-.; can, they have enough to eat. The
human body is so constituted that three
ti'ii-s a day a body needs food as much as
a Pimp needs oil, as much ns a locomotive
needs fuel. To meet this want (tod has
girlled tho earth with appln orchards,
or.ingti groves, wheat ileitis, ami oceans full
of l!sh, and prairies full of cattle. And
notwithstanding this, I will undertake to
say that the vast majority of the human
fa nily an-sutfering either for la.-k of food
or tlie right kind of food. Our civiliza
tion is all askew, and God only can set it
right. Many of tho greatest estates of to
day have been built out of the blood and
bones of uniPipiited toil.
''Don't sit down at your tabio with five or
six courses of alum. bint supply and think
nothing of that family in th next street
who would take any ouo of these five
courses Ictween soup and almond nuts and
f.l they were in heaven. The lack of the
right kind of foo 1 is tho cause of much of
tie; drunkenness. After drinking what
many of our grocer- call colTee, sweetened
with what many eall sugar, and eating
what in riy of our butchers call meat, and
chewing what mat.y of our bakers call
br '.id, many of tho laboring classes feel so
niisi-rable they nretempted to put into their
natty pipes what the tobacconist calls to
li i ; . or go into the drinking saloons for
what the runis.-llers call beer. Good coffee
Would do much in driving out rum.
' How can we servo our generation with
enough to eat?" 1'y sitting down in etn-
br.ider.-1 slippers and lounging back in an
ar. u chair, our mouth puckered up around
a Havana of tho best brand, and through
clouds of luxuriant smoke reading about
political economy and tho philosophy of
strikes? No! No! I'.y finding out who in
t!ds city has boon living on gristle, and
fending them a tenderloin beefsteak. Seek
out some family who. through sickness or
conjunction of misfortune, have not. enough
to eat, mi 1 tlo for them what Christ did for
tin- hungry multitudes of Asia Minor, mul
tiplying tho loaves an I the llshes. I.et in
quit the surfeiting of ourselves unlit wo
cannot choke down another crumb of cake,
and begin tho supply of others' necessi
ties. ' It is an awful thingto bn hungry." said
the preacher. "It is an easy thing for us
to Im in goo 1 humor with all tho world
when wo have no lack. But let hunger
tako full possession of us, and we would ail
turn into barbarians and cannibals and
liends. Suppose that some of tho energy
we are expending in useless and unavailing
talk about the bread question should In-expended
in merciful alleviations. I have
real that the battlefield ou which more
troops th "t than on any other in the
World's history was the battlelleld of Leip
sjc -p'.o.OIIO men under Napoleon; 2iiO.II(K)
men under Sehwiir.eberg. No! No! The
grcite-t and most terrific battle Is now be
ing fought all the world over. It is tho
struggle for food. The groiiud ton-) of th
lincTt passage, iu one of the gr -at musical
masteri i-.-cs. (lie arti.-t says, was suggest
ed to him by the cry of the hungry popu
lace of Vienna, its the King role through
and t hoy shouted: -bread! (five us bread"
And all through tho great harmonies of
musical academy and eat lie lral I ln-ar too
the pathos, tho ground tone, the tragedy
of an ainto 1 multitudes, who. with sin-am-iitg
eves and wan cheeks and broken hearts,
in In-half of themselvea aud their families,
are j, leading for bread.
"f.et us take another look around to so-;
how we may s.-rve our generation. I."t in
S 'e, as far as possible, that they have
enough to weir."
Th" preacher dilated upon tho curse of
dr liik'-au'-ss and idieii'-s. causing tho
in ael-- roru that lias swallowed down the
livelihood of those who nn; in rage. it
tilings will change, an 1 by generosity on
the part of the crowded wardrobes, and in
dustry and sobriety on the party of the
empty wardrobes, there will be enough for
all to" wear.
God Ins done His part toward the dress
ing of the unman rie-e. He grows a sur
pl is of wool on the sheep's back, and flocks

t ar !.-a of warmth, intended for transfer
or! to human comfort when the shuttles
of tin- fivtorie., reaching all tho way from
Chattahoochee to the .Merritnae, snll have

The Secretary recommends an in
crease in the appropropriattons iu aid
of t ie Weather Bureau and the publica
tion offices. He thinks tho Department
should be enabled to place the result
of important operation at agricultural
colleges before the entire eountrry. "so
that the farmers of each State may
get tho result of the good work done in
other States."

ment to extend the foreign markets f y
our dairy and live stock products whicu
he thinks call be done by makiug the
foreigners familiar with them.
M r. W ilson ex resses the opinion that
nearly all of tlic S;Si-,iHhi,iKKiseut abroad
last year for sugar, hides, fruits, wines,
annuals, rice, tla, hemp, cheese, wheat,
barley, beaus, eggs, and silk might
have been kept at home.
W.th reference to horees, the Secre
tary says: "Ihe American farmer can
grow horses as cheaply as he can grow
cattle; we have a heavy and profitable
export trade in cattle and may have an
export trade equally heavy and profit
able 111 horses. I he I 'epartmcnt is
gathering facts regai ding our horse in
dustry at home and the requirement of
purchasers abroad, that our farmer
can learn what foreign buyers deniaud "
