Brains On the Farm.

The armer who is a money maker studies his profession, is up-to-date and like the man from "Missouri, you have to "show" him. Eer the successful farmer learned long ago that “two heads are better than one," and that a careful combination of his own "brain force" with that of others in his own line will do more for him than he can hope to achieve alone. In other -words he judges success by results attained.

If you have a theory an rotation of crops, fertilization, breeding ot live stock or a method of soil preparation, you will be plied with questions and demand made that you prove your assertion by w(tight and measure.

If you claim a better variety o. | grain the farmer will not hazard a crop by planting his field until he has first put it to the test, and ifj the test is satisfactory, he will not' be slow to adopt it. The farmer may be from the 1 country, but he no longer has "hay seed in his hair,” unless by test it has proven to be of a specially high grade and fertile variety. If you claim that a certain breed of hogs will grow to a larger size, produce jpore bacon and grow larg-' er hams and yield a larger profit to the breeder, you must first “show” , him...: I

If yo.u have a distinct type of horse with the necessary qualities that make it worth while to raise and which is certain to command a good price o-n the market, you can win the farmer by proving results and in no 'other way. If you say that a certain kind of cow will give more and richer milk, yield a larger percentage of butter ifat and produce more profit on the same ratio of feed, it’s up to you to produce results. i Wihy? i ' Because the farmer of today conducts his business with good hard headed business judgment and not by guess work. This is not selfishness, it’s common sense applied to a theory which ilS® “mflilo good.” '

The fanner of has ample facilities for getting information and he is taking advantage of it to get the results that pay. Nothing has afforded him a better opportunity to study Live Stock than the International Live Stock Exposition, Which for twelve years has brought together under one roof at the Union Stock Yards in Chicago, the brainiest breeders and the finest as-

sortnient of live -stock ever exhibited in amy part of the world. You can study the results of years of experiment by the biggest breeders, widely known specialists of international fame, college professors, and the successful farmers from every section of the country who come here to help themselves as! wellj as you. - ■ j Here - you will find results—nor] [ t heory. ' j ; Prize winning live stock—-which •have no peer in all the world. ! Knowledge—which will mean to! you more money and better results ' as well as to every farmer. ! This is an educational edvantag* ! you cannot, afford to. miss, and will ! i return to you many times the cost .of the trip, j Ihe 1 3th Annual Exposition will ! be held from Nov. 30th to Dec. 7th, ! 1912. in the mammoth Live Stock Exposition building at the In ion Stock Yards, Chicago. Bring the family, they will be interested, the trip to Chicago will do them good and they will go home ' with ideas that will be worth thousands of dollars to you, and it will ; help them to be more contented to stay, on the farm,' besides you will learn tlie most modern and scientific results attained by breeders who have spent a lifetime and fortunes

to acquire what you can gain in a few days.—Advt.

MONON TRAIN DERAILED.

Passengers Shaken Ip, But None Seriously Hurt —Accident at Kllettsville. Bloom tug ton, In d., Novemher 25. —Although four sleepers and two coaches left the track from Moron train No. 2, a fast south-bound mail, due here at 3: 32 a. m., at Elle.tteville shortly before 4 o’clock this morn-

ing, no one was seriously injured. All the passengers were badly shaken up, however. Carl Snyder of Joliet, 111., reports an injured kuee. Jhe train was traveling thirty-five miles an hour, when it split the switch. Not a car fell to its side and not a window was broken. Conductor Richard Strain and engineer Frank Kaiser had charge of the train. 1

The engine and tender passed over the switch in safety but the wheels of the baggage car forced open the switch and derailed the rest of the train.

The wrecking crew was sept to the scene of the wreck -from Danville and a relief train was made up in Bloomington. Many of the passengers were Chicago men, bound for French Lick and West Baden springs and the south.

COMPARE ’92 AND NOW; NOT SAME

Present Situation Nothing Like So-Called “Democratic” Panic COUNTRY RICH AND STRONG Federal Treasury Well Supplied W*th Gold—Railroads and Industrials -Thriving, Says Chicago Record Herald. .

Because the panic of 1893 followed close on the election of Grover Cleveland as President on a free trade platform in 1892, many politicians, business men and bankers seem to have reached the conclusion that DecmOraric administrations always bring “hard times” in business.

To those who are in that frame of mind, for no better reason than their political prejudice, a comparison of present conditions with those of 18. 2 nicy be somewhat, reass • ing.

Crop* Show Difference.

Concerning the crops, which are counted as the basis of, most of the country's prosperity: The cotton crop of 1892 was the smallest in five or six years and about one-third less than that of 1891. The wheat crop was about 95,000,000 bushels less than that of 1891. and the corn yield was 430,000,000 bushels less, and the oat crop 77,000,000 bushels less. Gross and net earnings of the railroads were low and going lower, and many railroads were in the hands of receivers as the result of previous poor business.

The currency was inflated by the government's purchase of silver under the law of 1890 and gold was being exported as a consequence and to such an extent that the? 100.000,000 treasury reserve required fay the law was seriously impaired. The tariff law was not passed till two years aft r the election of 1892, and was no: then regarded as a lacier ir the panic of 1893.

Country Is Thriving. Conditions now are entirely'different. The country has just harvested tile largest crop it ever has grown. The treasury holdings in gold are more than a billion dolars. The railroads, have been virtually rebuilt since IS&2. and their earning capacity has been multiplied many times. Just at present they are handling a:! the business their equipment can accomodate, and there appears to

be a distinct Chance that they will be granted some of the freight rate increases they have ion sought. The industrial companies have beeli built up to a point of enormous strength, and the country as a whole instead of being poverby stricken as it was in 1.852, is now decidedly rich. The banks are larger and stronger than ever before, and just now. in spite of the Balkan war, they are drawing gold our of Europe.

Present conditions, outside of the effect of the change in administration, do not point to panic, even in its mildest form.—Chicago Record Herald-

ADMIRES PASTOR RUSSELL’S BOOK.

“The Divine Plan of the Ages.” 1 Every One Should Read It, Atlanta Constitution says—“ This wonderful book makes no assertions that are uot well sustained by the Scriptures. It is built up stone by stone, add upon every stone is the text, and it becomes a pyramid of God’s love, and mercy, and wisdom. There is nothing in the Bible that the Author denies or doubts, but there are many texts that he throws a flood of light upon that seems to uncover their tqeaning.” It Comforts the Bereaved. 23i1l Arp” says—“lt is impossible to read this book without loving the writer and pondering his wonderful solution of the great mysteries that have troubled ns all our lives. There is hardly a family to be found that has not lost some loved one who died outside the chnrch—outside the plan of salvation, and, if Calvinism be true, outside of all hope and inside of eternal torment and despair.” 365 pages—cloth bound, 35 cents, postpaid.

PASTOR RUSSELL IS CHALLENGED

A Complete Answer to the Query, ‘Who Ordained Him?” The Whole Subject Clarified For the Public Benefit Clergy and Laity Unscriptural Terms.

the "Religious Rambler." Ellis claims that Pastor Russell's ordination as Pastor is fraudulent. The address shows that Pastor. Russell fully understands the situation. lie fully justified his position before bis vast audience and" showed up the “Rambler" editor in the unenviable light of either being ignorant of the subjects discussed, or attempting to deceive the public. His text was. “Not of men. neither by man. but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father. who raised Him from the dead” (Gal. i, 1). He said:—

The time has come for telling the people what the Bible teaches respecting ordination to teach and preach. The doctrine of Apostolic Succession started in the second century A. D. The bishops claimed that they had the same authority that Jesus gave to the twelve Apostles. Upon this claim they ordained the inferior clergy. This principle is wholly unscriptural. According to the Bible, tbe Cbureh of Christ is not composed of two parts, clergy and laity. Jesus' declared. “All ye are brethren; One is your Master. Christ.” St. Paul shows that in the early Church the ministers were the servants of the flock. They were of the 'people, chosen by them by the stretching forth of the hand. Many of the reformers coveted the titles accorded the Catholic clergy They did not care to tell the congregation that its word was supreme, and that its ministers were merely its servants. Others, realizing that these titles were unscriptural. declined to use them: preferring to be called pastor. My Bible Student associates, knowing my objection to the title “Reverend,” address me as Pastor. I am the elected Pastor of the Brooklyn Tabernacle congregation, aud also of the London Tabernacle congregation, and I fail to see ground for criticism in this respect, nor do I attack Christian brethren who accept other and unscriptural titles. Must Pastors Be Ordained?

Ordination is necessary to the office of pastor. The question is. What constitutes an ordination to preach amongst the people of God? This question has received various answers. The Roman. Anglican and Greek Churches, claiming Apostolic Succession, declare that authorization to preach must come through their apostle-bishops, and have not allowed Protestant ministers to enter their pulpits—until the Episcopalians, about a year ago granted this concession. Of course, if their proposition were correct, I am just as much unordained as all other Protestant ministers—and no more so.

Each denomination at its beginning was opposed by all others; yet each taught that the clergy were separate from the laity. Only since the organization of the Evangelical Alliance (184 G have the different sects of Christendom acknowledged each other’s ordinations. Each denomination makes use of such ceremonies as it deems proper. If, therefore, the congregation of Christian believers in Brooklyn and London ordain or appoint me as their pastor, it is their own choice what ceremonies, if any, shall accompany that ordination. Who can dispute this? No Protestant denomination. surely; for their own ordinations are on this very basis. The subject of ordination seems*to have fallen into confusion during the Dark Ages. St. Paul particularly emphasizes the tact that be did not receive his commission as preacher and Apostle of Christ from his brother Apostles, but by Divine authorization. I This is the Scriptural principle underly- ; ing Divine Ordination to the ministry , of Christ.

i No denomination claims that the ordination of its ministers either made or kept them perfect. All admit that there have been sad failures amongst their ordained ministers. Neither would they claim that ordination has given their ministers superior discernment of Divine Truths. On the contrary. it has injured the clergy by making many of them domineering and lordly, contrary to the spirit and teachings of Christ and the Apostles: and the laity by leading them to conclude that merely secular matters should engage their attention. The True Ordination.

Finally the Pastor showed the true ordination to be the impartation of the Holy Spirit. Whoever receives this has God’s authority to be His ambassador and mouthpiece. Such show jibe work of* the Holy Spirit regenerating their minds and hearts, giving them insight into the Scriptures, and enabling them to be God’s mouth pieces, ministers of His Truth.
