There once lived in an early period of Jewish history, a man named Abram with his faithful wife, Sarah. One day the Lord told him to leave his own country and move to a strange land, giving him the promise that he should become a great nation.

Abram's name was changed to Abra-
one day God told Abraham to take Isaac and offer him up as a burnt offering. This was a great trial to Abraham's faith, but he obediently took his son up the mountain. Isaac said to his father, "Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?" Abraham answered, "My son, God will provide a lamb." When they reaehed the place he took Isaac, his son, bound him and laid him on the altar, then just as he stretched forth the knife to slay his son, an angel called to him out of Heaven and told him he need not kill his son for God onljr meant to try his faith. He looked up and there was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns.
God promised that in Abraham's children all the nations of the earth should be blessed and this is true today, for we who live for God and the right are the spiritual children of Abraham and heirs with him of the promise.

GUMPTION ON THE FARM.
Be prompt at meals. Is the mower ready? Cold wet May—barn full of hay. Don't slight the corn—corn is King. Afield is not fenced when the bars are down.
Don't put away steel tools wet: dry them first then oil them. Lift up your eyes occasionally. All good things aren't in the furrows.
If you think nobody cares for you, have a carbuncle on the back of your neck.
The boy smokes cigarettes behind the barn because dad, smokes cigars in the open.
Never lead a colt at the end of a long strap. Men have been killed in this way.
Cut your clover while it is in the bloom. Dead-ripe clover is just about spoiled so far as feed is concerned.
Wood ashes or lime should not be applied mixed with, or in direct contact with stable or hen manure.
Don't throw out apples, potatoes or turnips where stock can get them, and choke. Either bury or slice them.
After all it is the producing power of the farm that determines the boy in his going or staying. Show him that there's money in it, and he will stick to the old farm like a sand-bur to a sheep's tail.
Don't let the back step be unsightly with swill pails, cat dishes and hen food, thus strewing food and attracting flies and disease. Cart away all the old cans, broken dishes', old coats and boots from back yards and places.
On some soils it doesn't pay to plow too deep. For instance, take it where the plow-point strikes hard-pan no use to pull the horses to death and tire ourselves all out to bring that to the surface. It is not worth while after we have done it.—Form Journal.

CONSUMERS' SIDE OF PURE FOOD FIGHT
Indianapolis, May 10—The consumer's side in the country wide fight for pure food opened before Master-in-Chancery Daniels, of the U. S. District Court, today, and the master will for the next month or longer hear the testimony from expert chemists, Government and State food commissioners and State health officials. The case brings benzoate of soda again into the fore ground and the results will have important bearing on the enforcement of present laws and the enactment of new ones in thirty or more States.
The suit is based on an injunction sought by Curtice Bros., of Rochester, N. Y., and Williams Bros., of Detroit, both manufacturers of food products, and acting jointly in the suit.
The fight for pure food brought the enactment of a national food law in 1906. Through the political influence of reactionary manufacturing interests, however, rulings were obtained under this law to permit the use of the coal tar drug benzoate of soda as an artificial preservative in prepared foods entering into interstate commerce and by this tolerance many of the worst abuses of the past are said to be perpetuated. By the aid of this substance the use of unfit raw materials, both fruits and vegetables, is invited and careless and unsanitary practices in food preparation were made possible.
Indiana has taken the lead in the effort to drive benzoate of soda out of American food products. Food Commissioner H. F. Barnard, acting under authority of the State Board of Health, issued an edict on January 1, 1909, against the further sale in Indiana of all foods containing benzoate of soda.
Soon after this regulation went into effect the injunction suit was brought against the State Board of Health in the U. S. District Court at Indianapolis, it was argued before Judge Anderson, who referred it to the special master.
The storm center of the pure food crusade is said to be in this suit, as many States are awaiting the outcome of it before taking up the warfare which the Indiana authorities started. Should the Indiana board win other States are expected at once to issue edicts against the sale of food containing benzoate of soda, and similar preservatives.

The union singing service given at the M. E. church on Sunday night was attended by a crowded house and was pronounced a great success. It would be well if the churches could unite often in services of this kind as it tends to create a fraternal feeling that has been greatly lacking in the past. The service consisted of solos, duets, male and mixed quartettes, ladies quartette, choruses, old-time songs and orchestra music.
Arthur McClain and family took dinner with R. M. Julians on Sunday. There will be no preaching service at Friends' church on next Sunday as that is quarterly meeting at Walnut Ridge, but there will be services at night.
