0. sorts of antics, and had their nest In
an old coat sleeve 'which .hung at the

"You and t can never think alike on

he retreated Into the house.

awake anything, like a wish In his

he turned to take a parting view of
the happy home circle he was leaving
the father standing in the midst of
his; children, with the little one laugh
ing and crowing In his arms, and the
; mother bright and smiling by his side.
Then he, too, thought of Linda Pratt,
. and of the long ago days when she was
his promised bride. Then, with a half

in his own thoughts, until forcibly ap

"Well, you'd better run over body

gruffly. ,

with comic gravity, then, with a wink
at his companion, he turned out of the
road tn order to pass the slow-going

He passed the mill and drew near a
pretty white cottage,' surrounded by
fruit trees and flowering shrubs, Wu.ch
were just beginning to put forth their
leaves A lady, comely and dark-
haired,, though past the rosy bloom qf
early womanhood, was standing before
the door, admiring a row of beautiiul
white hens which had mysteriously
made their appearanceon, the prem?
ises, and were quietly pluming them-.

his own wbtJs, they were as "wild

. He took an ear of corn from hi
pocket and shelling It on the ground,
called to them In every conceivable
way to come and eat; but the hens
were either too stupid to understand or
too wise to heed, and so kept their
perch.' ;. T . 1 .
At length Gideon became convinced
that there was no way but to run them
down one at time no very easy feat
to accomplish, considering that they
would ha all the time ft locomotive
power In reserve, and could flvarnq
jwj,Ulftlr need or fancjnnHarpted. Act

tiously forward and made lunge at

enough to secure handful of feathers,

from the fence and struck out in dlf-j

; Aaound the bouse' he followed the
hindmost, and into neat, newly-made
garden, over the smooth, even beds of
which, he trampled without Compunc
tion. , Round and round be ran, and
leaped and Jumped until the hen, as
If desirous of a wider field of action,
flew over the fence lnlo a freshly-
plowed field. This Gideon found less
adapted for. a race .than. the garden,
for, with every step he sank ankle
deep In the mellow loam. After mak
ing the circuit of the field, the hen
flew into the top of a peach tree, In
which her fellows were already -congregated.
Her safe, arrival was the
occasion of ft prolonged and trium
limphant crow from the: rooster tan
talizing enough to Gideon, who came
up wiping the perspiration from his
heated face. ' As he passed the garden
he saw with some surprise the, full
extent of the mischief he bad wrought,
and wondered why some one had not
come out to remonstrate against his
devastating flourishes over the beds. .
Gideon was In sore preplexity. There
was no such thing tor him as catching
the hens in race. He stood under the
peach tree In ft brown stndy, scratch
ing his head vigorously to coax there
from some plan by which hit dorklngs
might be Mcured. He did not see the
dark eyes which watched him so curi
ously from back window, nor the
mischievous smile that lurked around
the lady's mouth at she witnessed bis
discomfiture. ' '.- J - : -:
"I'm dashed If f can think of any
way to circumvent , the torments.
They're too knowing," murmured Gid
eon. "Maybe the woman can contrive
ft way to do it I've beard say women
have sharper wits than we," ,
"Madam," said Gideon,' at he ap
proached the cottage and made his
most polite bow. "I crave your as
sistance, or, rather, your advice, about
catching those hens ia the tree yon
der." : ?,'.-.-'
The l&dy thought he would have to
wait till night, when they were, gone
to roost and when Gideon demurred
on account of the lonely way be had to
go, she told him be would -be welcome
to stay over night -
Gideon looked more perplexed than
ever. What was there in the lady's
voice and eyes that puzzled1 blm so?
And the child; How its dimpled
cheeks and rosy mouth, tent his
thoughts far back in the past He led

storms do appear and may cause
some damage to partially dried rais
ins and. grapes. - In Mr, Husmann's
article o "The' Raisin Industry" In
the new Year Book he states that the
many Japanese laborers watch the
government weather predictions late
lit the season, Snd If rain Is Indicated
they bold their services at from 60 to
75 cents ft hour; It Is simply. Impos
sible to get cheap labor tn such emer
gencies, and the growers hftvo to pay
the pipers 'The entire labor question
Is a serious one with the grower,
Chinese; and Japanese labor practical
ly controls the business, and they de
mand 12 to I3.S0 per day and even M
for picking grapes. ' , , : '' ; ' :
After, a vineyard comes into bear
ing, provided, of course, It Is of a suit;,
able variety,- raistri production Is very
simple In tho California district,-Where
the sun doe most of the work. - The
grapes begin to ripen about the middle
of August and later varieties continue
ou Into November., The, bunches are
cut front the vines and placed on shal
low trays. These measure two feet
wide, three feet long and "one inch"
high. On the trays fhe grapes are
plied and allowed to " sun-dry, being
turned from time to time, this move
ment being accomplished by merely
placing an empty tray top olda down
aver the full one, and thou turning
both over. After drying tor from ten .4
day Uk three,, weeks, depending on
the grape, and dato ,oT ripening, the
raisins are stortd in "sweat' boxes"
until they go into the hands of the
packer. In , order, vto prolong . the
work over a more convenient period,
some of the larger growers have cur
ing houses where the finishing touches
re put on the grapes as they are re
quired. The raisin' product of Cali
fornia now amounts to about 100,000,
000 poinds per annum, and .it. takes

DISCOURSE ON ''THE CrlOUNO
OF CHRISTIAN CERTAINTY".

QctAK GnoVEjN."J.-St rlfctt.OOO peo
rile filled the; Auditorium here ttundav
movning to listen to the Rev. "Reginald J
John tanipbcll, pastor of the Uty Jtem
pie, London. His subject was "The Ground
of Christian Certainty." He aaidt- -
Hy text, or rather, my two texts, will be
found, one in the third chapter and fotirv
teenth versa and the other in -the fourth
chapter and nineteenth verge of the First
Epistle of St. John: ''We know that we
have passed from death uuto.iife, because
we love the brethren. He that loreth not
bia brother abideth for death " j'We love
Him because He first loved us.
The thought it not one of simple grati
tude. The text teaches us hat the power
of loving somen from the fact that God is
love.. The writer of the fourth goose),
whether he was or was not the Apostle
John, was probe ulv one of the greatest
theologians that ever, lived, because hit
spiritual insight it to proi-und, sad the
inwardnnt of hit master mind so com
plete. The writer of the Fourth Gospel it
plainly the writer of these anistlaa.,. Jie
waa undoubtedly John the Divine. He
never refers to himself by name, bttl only
as tlie disciple whom Jeaua loved. None of
us would be willing- to,- spare wat of out
Christian, experience the fourteenth chap
ter of St.' John. In this the disciple teft
forth what we bejieve to be the profound
est and most beautiful truth concerning
the relationship of the sanctified soul to
the Redeemer. What a beautiful phrase
is thit: "The disciple whom Jeaut loved."
This man of wonderf .1 ability, who re
members all that Jn.ua said and writes it
dowa for our benefit. By that he did not
metn that -he waa the only t-incirde whom
Jesus lovedj but he meant to say that ha
got his own apiritual experience from the
same foundation that we get ours, -
There are aigna in the New Testament
that the disciple whom Jeaut loved waa it
one time a-' passionate, ambitious mi j.
Hark that oeeaaion when Jamea and John
were called the Sons of Thunder.-when
they came to -Christ and . said. . "Master,
shall we command fire to ciune down from
heaven and coiwume thea adversariea;
yoiira and ours!"- ' Arid Critl replied,
' "now not yet what eni

one en lay rigui nauu auaHtUafather
lny lett, when thou contest TtmatWiy
kingdom.'1 She thought, and tney thought,
and they all though, that the kingdom
waa to be an earthly one; that Christ wat
to grasp the sceptre of the Caesars and
rule over the world, and that thorn who
stood nearest Him would - occupy the
placet of greatest honor ia Hit kingdom.
Without rebuking them the Master turned
to the two men and aaid: "Are you able
l drink of the cap whereof I shall drink,
and to be baptised with the baptism
whereof I .am baptised?1' And they an
swered eagerly and with confidence, "We
are." Then aaid the Matter. "Ye shall in
deed drink of M cup, and be baptised
with the baptism whereof I tm baptized."
The other diacipL-a were muca r-ispleaaed
with James and John. Th-y could have
apared themselves the trouble. The Master
knew at once coming as a Matter of the
truth He very well knew what wat in
their hearta. The one wat seeking the
erown that wat corruptible, and that fad
eth away; the other was to hive in history
tt the apostle of love. What a long way
John must have traveled before thit par
aionate, ambitious man waa abla to de
serve thit title, "the Apostle of Love."
John gave the greater part of his young
lift to the preaching of the goapel of love.
Toward the close oi thtt long tnd wonder
ful career the beloved disciple wat carried
vne 8unday morning to the congregation of
the faithful. It waa hit but appearance
at any earthly gathering. Hit parting
benediction to ti e little flock comet-down
to ua through the history of the ages:'
"Little children, love one another." '
L Wa know that often the words of our
text were on the lips 01 tne Apostle John:
"We know that wt have passed from
death unto life, because we love the
brethren Andagain.tug niflhprexper.
tins WrnT-JrractDoTSsibTe the other-lwe
love the brethren oecause Christ fir?
loved ua. ,
Thit ia not the only experience of the
kind. Botaa of yon might be inclined to
aay: "This it all well enough in its place
to talk about the Apostle John ta being
the anoatle of love." But we are not John.
There are. tome other people who deserve
the title. What about Peter, the impul
sive fisherman? Peter faa undoubtedly
impulsive and selfish and not without hit
ambition, too. Listen to the conversation
in the upper room, utter the Master hat
performed the foot washing He begins to
prepare His disciples for Hit coming in.
He ttysr "Ye ahtll all be onnfottndcd be
came of Me thit night." And Peter re
plies; "Though til should betray Thee,
yet will not I." - What he meant to eay
wat thisi "Y6u hive made t great deal of
thit nun, who it allowed to lie on Your
breast. Perhaps if a criait came he might
not be at much net as I would. If these
ehould betray Thee, yet will not I." The
time eame when John admitted Peter to
Pilate's hall. John a too ft silently by,
ready perhapa to die for hia Masters Peter
waa hiding somewhere in. terror because of
the Jews and Christ waa dying. And then
afttr the resnrreotwu Christ came to htm
in secret. Peter wept out hia penitonce
and the Master lifted him up again. Three
timea he wat asked,- "Simon. Simon, aon
of Jonas, lovest thou Me? Peter an
swered, 'Tiord, Thou knoweat that I love
Thee." The las time; grieved because of
the question,' he renlieaT with deep emo
tion, expressive only of the love in hit
heart, 'Ixird, Thou knoweat all ' things.
Thou knoweat that I love Thee." . When
waa given to thit fisherman the grand
promise, "Ye ar of Christ." And the an,
twer of Christ was, "If I will that ye
strive and achieve and he stand and wait;
what it that to thee, follow thou Me."
These two men, not long since rivals, came
together to witness for the Master. Peter
doea the talking and John ia ailent. Both
are prepared to suffer ia the name of Jesus
Christ of i.aearoth.
' The grand certainty' hi the heart of
every one of these men wnt that they had
passed from death unto life, through being
made capable of loving. And they were
capable of loving because they loved tlie
brethren-. Jfow, brethren, in every sge,
since John wrote these words for ua, the
same thing has held true. The ground of
Christian eertainty hat been through tho
love of God. There it no other ground of
certainty to-day. .. . , . . .
And the witiiearpfl' 'he spirit is teen in
nothing more than tins: that those who
are tlie tout of God show it in their de
meanor.'. ' '' ,-'"..
The love of Jesus, what it it. none bu:
LHis loved ones know, and your American
Whlttter, wrijtng yesterday,- at it were,
tayt for Us this morning: "Immortal love
forever: full forever, flowing free."
But, brethren, John Wealey was one of
the grcaWat preachert the world has ever
known: the greatest preacher of tho cross
since tlie Apostle Peter. There never was
a man fuller of love for the Master, fuller
of inspiration than John Wesley. How is

these about the Christ tnd yet misjudge j
what the Christ meant to bring to the
hearts of men.' Men are questioning the :
insurance of the love of God. Where shall
we look for -certainty if not to Jeaua?
There it an optimism in Ai-erican Char
acter which t'Mids toward contentmentj
with thia iireeent world. I have t i
marked it ia my travels from eaat to west.

there are timet when many f " have felt -aoine

there we come across tilent men, who
have been beaten in .the battle of life, and
who have no part in this general optimism.
The world tt God hat made it it one of
beauty. - This morning, for example, the
tun it shining around us everywheref we
are., (.hid to meet ita beams; the very
brightness affects our spirit, and helps ut
to took forward-with hope into the future.

under every green leaf? Hear the waves
breaking upon the seashore! Do you real
ize that-the amih'ng tea surrounding n
yesterday a trawled ,soaie mother'a. son?
Here are we meeting in brightness and
gladness.' Do -yon realise- that the same

Now, brethren, listen to me; first of all,
clear the ground by thit reflection, that
the only real communion, the only apirit

Brethren, take the Christ out ot my
spiritual firmament and the world would
be dark and cold te mc. There never wit
a time when tht world's people were in
such demand of a Christ at to-day.- No,
never! If you eould take the Christ out
of history, if yon could suppose the world
to be it it it men would still be asking for
tome one to save them, and the conquer
ing -love would be craved for by, them,
even if they did not know it.
Now, brethren, let ut go beck te the .
Christ hy . all meant, but let it be the
Christ of experience, not limply the Christ
of historv. Christ went away to come
nearer. He went to Hit own and He never
left them.-- - - -":'?-.

Men like Peter tnd John whe hive
been admitted to the fellowship of the
cross do not dotfbt tht love of God. Peace
and pain, joy and torrow, are not exclus

former. ' - ' : . .-

the rest of the evening tiptoeing about lis

the punishment would be. Finally, not
hearing any sound,- ht madt hit way to
the bed chamber. At he leaned over the
bed one of the little fellows mid, "It that

drew him in andjhe little fellow lobbed
