Post Dealing With ThoseWho Say 4 'Not Now" i Br REV. HOWARD W. POPE Superintendent of Meo Moody Bible Intlilulc, Chicago TEXT For he saith, behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now la the day of salvation. II Cor. 6:2. Let us consider first the cause and then the cure. Per haps there is some habit which must be abandoned, or some companion who must be dropped, or some unpleasant duty which must be done. It may be only the natural inertia of the soul which shrinks from grappling with a subject so serious, but more likely there is some secret sin which the man is unwilling to aban don. The real cause is that the man is not willing to surrender his will to God. He wants his own way, and though he flatters himself that he will yield to God by and by, he is not wil ling to do it now. Whatever the cause, the cure is always the same God's Word. Ask the man by whom he expects to be saved, if he is ever saved. He will answer, "God alone can save me." Emphasize that thought by having him read aloud John 6:44, "No man can come to me, except the Father which sent me, draw him." Call ms attention to God's Command. Acts 17:30, God "now commandeth all men everywhere to repent." After he has read the verse ask him if God has a right to make such a command. Ask him if he, who is dependent on God for salvation, has the audacity to refuse to obey this plain command. Show him the consequences of such a refusal. Proverbs 1:24, 25, 26, 28, ''Be cause I have called, and ye refused, I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me." II Cor. 6:2, "Behold, now ia the ac cepted time; behold, now Is the day of salvation." Show him that God's time is the best time, and th,e only sure time. There is no certainty that he will be accepted tomorrow, but there is a positive promise for today. Make him realize that the habit of putting off duty will grow constantly stronger, and that ten years from now he will be less disposed to repent than he is today. Show him that tnere must be some moment of definite sur render to God, and that no lapse of time will make that surrender any easier. Indeed, it will grow harder as the years pass by, and if he puts it off, the chances are that he will never do it. Proverbs 27:1, "Boast not thyself of tomorrow, for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth." Show him that in putting off repentance he is reckoning upon the continuance of life which is entirely uncertain. Re member that Satan is persuading him in his subtle way to wait a little longer. The old serpent does not dare BUggest that he never repent, or even that he put it off a long time, but he cunningly says, "Not now." Occasionally a soul may be won by taking the devil's side of the argu ment, and pleading his cause so boldly that the absurdity of his reasoning is apparent. A friend of mine at a North field conference was asked to speak to a young man with whom many had labored in vain. Meeting him alone one day, he said to him, "These people in the hotel are bothering you a good deal on the subject of religion, are they not?" The man blushed and ad mitted that he had been somewhat annoyed. Then followed a conversa tion something like this: j "You don't need to give any thought j to this matter for a long time yet. You had better put It off for at least a couple of years, don't you think so?" "I am not sure it would be well to put it off so long as that." "Why not?" "Because I might not live two years." "That is true. Well, put it oft one year. That Is safe enough, is it Dot?" "No, I don't suppose it is en tirely safe, for I might die in one year." "Sure enough, you might. Well, put it off six months. Are you willing to do that?" The young man hesitated. "Call it three months. Will you promise not to think of it for three months?" "I wouldn't like to promise that" "Why not?" "Because I might die in three months.' "Will you promise not to think of it for a week? That is safe enough, isn't it?" "No one can be sure of a week, I sup pose." "You are certainly sure of one day, aren't you?" "No, not positively sure of even one day." "Well," said my friend, "if you are not sure of even a single day, hadn't you better give your heart to th. Lord now?" And he did, right then and there. Let's All Repeat Fervently. One of the most concise and meaty prayers ever offered was that of an earnest New England deacon. "Lord, give us grace to know Thy will and erit to do it." i COMMANDERS IN ...s ... . v.

MEXICAN WATERS .WMBraflllWI J IIIIUMI Mirnwiiii '' "' A - Items FOR THE FRONT AND HIS FLAGSHIP CARING FOR THE CHICKENS Mother Hen and Little Ones Should Not Be Crowded Into Filthy Coop Keep Houses Clean. What's the use of jamming an old mother hen Into the coop with a brood of chicks every night, making the crowded coop more filthy and liable to promote disease? Separate the old hen from the chicks at once, and get her to laying. Don't think for one moment that, simply because the poultry have plenty of range, and get many varie ties of feed, they need no grit fur nished them. Try offering them a handful and see how quickly they de vour it; then keep it before them con stantly, at the rate of about a quart for every fifty fowls three times a week. As all grass and other green feed soon will grow dry and short, try planting some email beds of lettuce, beets and radishes in the poultry yard, and when the plants come up and are beginning to grow well, remove the Laying House for Small Flock. brush and watch the fowls devour the tender greenness to their satisfaction and your profits. The early chicks are the ones that will make the winter layers. Oh, yee, they'll bring in a little more money Just now than the later chicks, but if you ever expect any improvement in your flock, and want to get eggs during the winter months, when they are the highest price, you'll have to take a long-range, future squint at the proposition, and act accordingly. Don't, for goodness' sake, allow the poultry to form the habit of roosting out in the trees and the open places during the hot summer months. If you do, ten chances to one you'll let them roost right there till they are caught by a severe freeze. By keep ing the poultry houses fresh and clean, and furnishing plenty of ventilation, all this trouble of roosting outside may be prevented. DRY MASH FOR LAYING HENS Ground Grains May Be Mixed in About Equal Proportions by Weight Feed in a Hopper. Cornmeal, wheat bran, wheat mid dlings and finely ground oats are suit able ingredients for a dry mash for laying hens. Any one of these In gredients may be omitted without seriously affecting either the health or the egg yield, though it Is an ex cellent plan to retain the wheat bran on account of its laxative qualities. These ground grains may be mixed In about equal proportions by weight. Add alo, unless fed separately, finely ground alfalfa or clover, a level tea spoonful of salt to each dry quart of mash, and for the best egg yield 20 to 25 per cent of beef scraps and bone meal in the proportion of 5 per cent. Feed your mash in a hopper that does not waste it. If you do not have such, use a shallow box, 15 to 18 inches square and no more than 6 Inches high. Cover the mash with one-half inch mesh wire, and just a little smaller than the box. IMPROVEMENT OF THE FLOCK Fowls for Show Purposes Require Closer Inbreeding Than Those Intended for General Use. After carefully looking over your male birds If you do not notice any predominating points which will tend toward the improvement of your flock it would pay you to purchase some good male birds of the same breed with the points desired. - If your flock has been too closely inbred It Is also advisable to buy males from an other flock. Birds for show purposes, as the first consideration, require closer inbreeding than those for utility purposes. This is necessary to gain any noteworthy headway, and it is car ried on by most of the successful poul try fanciers of today. There is a limit to such line of breeding, and for best results it requires study and careful selection of the matings. Vigorous Breeding Stock. Much depends upon strong, vigor ous stock. See that your breeding fowls are vigorous know their ances tors are good producers. MOTHER GOMES TO DAUGHTER'S When, Daughter Thought, Eve Avenue of Escape Closed, Mother Came to Rercue.
