Eloquent Kansas City Divine Delivers an Able Sermon Before the Kaw Valley District Baptist Association at Topeka.
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you."—Matt. 28:19-20.
These are the words of our Lord Jesus, commanding His church to teach, to instruct, to educate, to inform, to train humanity. Jesus knew the need of humanity. He knew that the human intellect rbed training, and He insisted on having men taught.
the penetrating genius of a Locke has scanned the powers of the human intellect, and described the laws of the mind in so clear and forcible a manner as to win an immortality of fame.
Through the process of learning the capacious intellect of a Bacon has surveyed the entire circle of human science, and marked the appropriated of intellectual pursuit for succeeding generations.
Education is the result of teaching. For it means to instruct, to inform, to bring up, to train. Education is properly to draw forth, or draw out. It implies the discipline of the intellect; the establishment of principles, the regulation of the heart.
Why We Ought to Educate Humanity
Because a human being is not in any proper sense a human being until he is educated. What sculpture is to a block of maible education is to the human mind. Therefore the command is to teach all nations all things whatsoever is commanded us by the Lord Jesus.
The philosopher, the saint, the hero, the wise and the good, or the great, very often he hidden and concealed in a common person, which proper education might have disinterred and brought forth or brought to light
The aim of education should be to teach us how to think, how to improve our minds so as to enable us to think for ourselves rather than to load our minds with the thoughts of other men.
Education, briefly, is the leading of the human mind and soul to what is right and best, and to make man better in time for eternity. The training which makes men happiest in themselves also makes them more serviceable and useful to others.
The college, appealing immediately to the mental part, is yet to train every part. It is doing its duty only when it causes man to regulate appetite, to crush passion, to guide desires, to quicken affection, to prevent wrong actions, to stimulate right choices. If men would know the true end of life he must be educated. True education is the awakening of the mind for the love of truth; giving a just sense of duty; opening the eyes of the mind to the great purpose and end of life. Therefore, we as individuals, are to love the good for the sake of the good; to be virtuous in action because in heart; to love and serve God supremely—not from fear but from delight in His perfection.
We are to teach men because of the capacity of the human mind. How wonderful is the faculty of the human mind. And what a vast store house of knowledge may be treasured up by that power. It has been said that the mind is a natural substance, and to educate it is a delusion, and will only last in time, and will go out like a candle in the high winds of eternity. But I hold that the mind $l_{5}$ immaterial—the intelligent and self-active agent, that spiritual essence, the chiefest attribute of the human soul, if not the soul itself, the scope of which is unbounded in its flights.
The flaming bounds of the universe cannot limit the flight of the human thought, and yet upon the tablet of memory is recorded the speculation of the mind, and the flight of the imagination throughout this immense range.
We are to teach men because of the future possibilities of the mind. The utmost capacity of the human intellect has never yet been exhibited. The shortness of the human life, together with the many hindrances with which the most highly favored must necessarily contend in their intellectual pursuits, has ever precluded the possibility of testing, by example, what the human intellect, under more favorable circumstances, might accomplish.
Yet the achievement of the human mind, in the various departments of knowledge, have been truly astonishing. The mineral, vegetable and animal kingdoms have passed under the philosophic view of the human mind. Through the process of training

the penetrating genius of a Locke has scanned the powers of the human intellect, and described the laws of the mind in so clear and forcible a manner as to win an immortality of fame.
Through the process of learning the capacious intellect of a Bacon has surveyed the entire circle of human science, and marked the appropriated of intellectual pursuit for succeeding generations.
Not has the research of the human mind been restricted to this globe upon which we live. But the towering mind of a Newton, through the process of learning or education, has goared from world to world, estimating the magnitudes and distances of those immense oths, and expatlated on the laws, binding them together and guiding them in their harmonious revolutions.
We are to teach men because of the superiority of the human mind above that of the body.
Contemplating the mind or soul as the center and source of all mental achievement and all moral emotions, how transcendently great must be its powers. It stands confessed as the greater the nobler part of our nature. It is as much superior to the body as the heaven is above the earth. A material of finer texture than the body it is wrought up to a higher state perfection.
All that is profound in the researches of intellect, all that is attractive or beautiful in the creation of fancy—all that is grand or sublime in the visions of imagination, all that is heroic in patriotism, all that is angelic in virtue or God-like in devotion but the going forth of the mind—the out-breathing of the soul.
We should train the mind because the body is only an instrument of the mind.
The body has to do with things of the earth, hence earthly. And as an instrument of the mind, it can teach forth its hand and grasp the treasures of the world. It can open its eyes and ears upon all the beauty and melody that surrounds it. But the mind can take a nobler flight and hold converse with spiritual things. She can spread her wings abroad and soar aloft to the highest of heaven; she can mingle with seraphims and cherubims in gazing with wonder and admiration upon the out-shining power, and vision, goodness and the glory of Almighty God.
We should teach man because of what has already been accomplished through the trained intellect in the field of activity.
We have witnessed the exploits of talent and genius in their various departments. We have seen something of what the powers of a trained mind have accomplished, but we know not the extent to which those powers might be conducted.
Education, in all its departments, has spread open wide fields for the range of the human mind. The deep mysteries of nature have been explored, her most subtle agencies tamed by the genius of man and made to render obedience to his bidding and tributary to his comfort.
And, too, the sublime doctrines of revelation have been surveyed, and rich promise of an endless life have been grasped by the human mind or soul as the pledge of an undying hope and a blessful immortality.
"Go ye therefore, and teach and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; teaching them to observe all things what ever have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always even unto the end of the world. Amen!"

CHARLESTON HAS BIGGEST TEN CENT STORE.
Only One of Its Kind in America—
$20,000 Raised by Dollar Subscriptions—Building Four Stories—25
Young Men and Women Given
Work.
From Chicago Defender:
Charleston, S. C., Aug. 2.—What I reported to be one of the largest commercial ventures of the race in the Southland is a four-story ten-cent store owned and operated by the race. This is the outgrowth of a small company that started years ago and by dollar subscriptions raised $20,000. Recently they have enlarged their space and are now covering four floors. It is patronized by both races and gives employment to twenty-five members of our race and to two white girls, who have been employed in other ten cent stores. These white girls act as managers in different departments. The store is well kept and the grade of merchandise that is sold is equal to any for the money. It is not only the largest but the only one of its kind in America. It proves to the world that if the race would unite throughout the United States
.
they would be successful. One of its kind could be made to pay in any of the large northern cities, namely New York and Chicago. There is a vast field in the latter city and as the young men and women are denied a place to work in the stores of the other race it would give employment to the otherwise idle.
The Negro Man Who Accepts Office Stands in Danger of Life—Kill the First Race Man to Accept Segregated Job—Napler Realigned at the Request of Young College Men.
Washington, D. C., Aug. 1. President Wilson has sent to the Senate the name of Attorney Adam E. Patterson of Muskogee, Okla., as Registrar of the Treasury, to succeed Mr. Napier. Mr. Patterson comes well recommended and is championed politically by Senator Gore of Oklahoma and by the National Negro Democratic League. His case is handicapped somewhat by a bitter fight Senator Vardaman is making against his confirmation. The objection to Mr. Patterson is based solely upon color. The friends of the Oklahoma statesman are hopeful of ultimate success, however, in view of the strong personal influence of Senator Gore in the Senate and his recognized prowess as a political warrior. The colored people, very naturally, wish for the confirmation of Mr. Patterson, as they would regard it as a calamity if the Registrarship of the Treasury should be lost to the Negro race.
(But Brother Patterson didn't land and the place is now in the hands of an Indian. Too bad, but true.)
Colored Young Men Angry.
Colored Young Men Angry.
Cleveland, O., Aug. 1.—The young college men whose secret mission met here July 21 have decided to run to death any Negro who will accept the office of Registrar of the Treasury when he must take it as a "Jim Crow" preposition. "We have avowed to God to kill the brute who disrespects our race and takes such a kick from the Democrat" is the watchword.
White Dining Car Conductor Forced to Rebuke Colored Walters to Their Sense of Duty-Net Fit for Service Should Be Dismissed.
Last week one of the most outrageous treatments that could befall a young lady was forced on Miss Myrtle Witherspoon on a Union Pacific passenger train.
Having spent the winter in the balmy clime of California, she boarded a train for the East. Having Pullman accommodations she was shown her seat and given all the courtesy that one could wish by the porter, and both train and Pullman conductor, but, in entering the dining car her journey had to be marred by the illiterate southern brutes who try to lowrate a lady to the white men as in the South.
She was seated at the table by the steward and given a bill of fare and check. Pausing long enough to write her order she noticed that none of the waiters came near to serve her. Waiting patiently, thinking that they might be busy, she said nothing, but the situation soon began to become strained, for these brutes began to make remarks not only to one another but to the white steward in charge. Finally this gentleman, seeing that his crew were not men, got them in the party and cursed them, telling them that a dog could not have been treated worse; that no Irish, Jew, German, Greek nor any nationality on the face of the globe but a toward "niggeeer" would try to, much less treat a woman who has proven herself a lady as they had—that on the end of the trip none would ever leave the station with him again.
"Woman is a woman, and you have all had mothers, many have sisters, and to do as you men have done proves to me that you are not fit to mingle with the class, you are hired to serve, of which this lady is one. She has a ticket, she is a passenger, and under the law and while I have charge of this car you must serve everyone the game—black, white, yellow or brown makes no difference to me."

Dear Madam Dabney: I am a mother of four girls. In trying to improve their hair I had tried several preparations but none gave me the good results until I used Mme. Dabney's XXth Century Preparations. Their hair was thin, harsh and would fall out so that I dreaded to use a comb. Now their hair is growing nicely—does not fall out, has no dandruff, is soft and pretty. Three of the girls are attending Wendell Phillips school Howard and Vine streets. Investigation will bear out my testimony. I would not be without the XXth Century Hair Preparations in my house.

Farm and Garden
DO YOU GROW SWEET CORN?
No Crop Responds Better to Good Treatment Than This One.
Every truck farmer knows that the first early sweet corn in the market pays as great a profit as any crop grown. It is usually sold by the hundred and marketed in sacks containing that number of cars. The fodder remaining after the crop is sold is nearly as valuable as timothy hay. The best profit comes from the earliest acres, says a writer in the Farmer's Review. Sweet corn cannot be shipped a great distance, as it deteriorates rapidly;

SWEET CORN AND LIMA BEANS.
therefore the local grower does not have such competition as does the grower of less perishable products.
Sandy or light loam soil, with an open subsoil, is best for this crop.
The very best seed of the best and most popular varieties should be provided. Home grown seed, well selected and well cured, will pay big profits on the cost of labor employed for this work. The first plantings must be made early in the season, and seed only of the greatest vitality will withstand the unfavorable weather conditions that are likely to prevail at this season.
The cultivation of this crop should be thorough, and no crop will respond sooner to good treatment.
To succeed in growing sweet corn for the early market a liberal amount of plant food must be provided at the right time and in available form.
This means cover crops and an increased use of commercial fertilizers.
Roosters not needed, loafing hens, boarding cows, small litter cows, run down soil—these are what hold a farmer down—lowa Homestead
The wet mash of cornmeal and bran that used to be the standard morning feed of the farm flock seems to be going out of style in favor of the hopper full of a mixture of dry ground grain. The new plan is better for large flocks, but for a small flock the wet mash has advantages. For one thing it is easier to keep up the water supply than where the fowls are given all dry grain. Another point is that the constant presence of dry feed attracts rats, while the wet mash as usually fed will be eaten up clean.—American Cultivator.
It should be the rule never to handle manure more than once. When removed from the barn or feeding shed, it should be loaded at once into the spreader and hung to the field. If the farm is small and the amount produced is only at the rate of one or two loads a week, the convenience and improvement of taking it directly from the stable and spreading it at once on the field will certainly justify driving the manure spreader slowly. Orange Judd Farmer.
ALL AROUND THE GARDEN.
As soon as the cutting of rhubarb stalks is over give the ground a good dressing of manure.
Cauliflower can be grown more easily than cabbage. It is always in demand at good prices.
Wild strawberries have the most delicious flavor. They are easily transplanted to the garden.
Do not neglect to mark the wild flowers now which you wish to transplant later in the border.
In some sections of the country the practice of mulching potatoes is followed by a number of growers.
Pick the blossoms of pansies, nasturtiums and sweet peas every day. If allowed to seed they cease to bloom.
Very fine fruit and large yields can be secured from tomatoes by setting posts and running horizontal wires similar to the grape trellis. Where the soil is strong a good crop of vegetables may be raised between the rows of trees in the young orchard This means cultivation and manuring -Farm Progression.

DO YOU LIKE “SWEETS?”
They're Fine With Gravy=Here’e How
You May Grow ® Crop.
Plant a few sweet potatoes in your
garden this spring. They areo't bard
to grow, and what Is richer to eat than
brown eweet potatoes with gravy?
Besides, this vine Is very orpamental,
and its thick, dark folinge helps tu
mnke your vegetable garden more at-
tractive.
Sweet potatoes are grown by weans
of sets of sprouts which grow from
the root buds. It fe beat te get them
trom seed growers or gardeners, They
require warm, moderately eich, sandy
land, if the Innd ts tov fertile there
will be a large growth of top at the ex-
pense of the root. The plants may be
net out from the middie of May until
the Ist of July or after the late frosts
are over.
‘The potatoes: may Le grown on the
tesel, but a ridge tisually ts preferred
in the garden ridging may be done
with a boe, making the ridge about
eighteen Inches broad and six locbes
bigh The rows should be from three
and a baif tu four feet apart, Set the
plants along the center of the ridge—
they should be about two feet apart—
and If the soil {s muist it Is only neces
sary to dip the rvots in water before
setting. But if it is wousuully dry at
this time It will be advantageous to
sprinkle the plunts occasionally,
When the plants are small they
should be cultivated often enough tu
kill the weeds nnd keep a tnellow nur-
face. Later on the vines themselves
will cover the ground; then cultira-
tion {s impracticuble os well as unde-
sirable. After the vines are too large
to cultivate they sbuuld be lifted oc
casioually ur they are Mkely to take
root at the Joints and keep on forming
more tines with no roots in the bill
large enough for use, The vines should
be tifted once n week. Every vine
should be looxe from hill to tip, This
ifting may be done very rapidly with
a pitchfork, but some care must be
taken.—Kauson lodustrialist.

Bill Acris bought a farm that was
The largest one for miles around
He couldn't till it well because
'Twas scattered over too much
ground
He could not keep the weeds cut
down.
Nor could he keep the fences up.
He had to sell and move to town
And now owns nothing but a pop
Jim Homestead bought a little tract
So small that when he started out
Folks laughed at him, but 'tis a
fact
That he is rich now and about
As free from care as he could be
And loads a life that a full of
charm
He tilled the soil so well that he
Just made it pay—that little farm

TYING UP A FLEECE.
Directions For the Proper Care of the Wool Grower's Crop.
First, all the tag locks must be removed whether they be dung or grease and dirt, writes W. C. Coffey of the Illinois station, describing the proper way to tie up a dress, second, the dress should be carefully rolled up by hand not in wool box, with no ends or stray locks protruding and with the flesh side out, third, the dress should be tied with a hard, glazed twine not larger than one eighth inch in diameter. In tying the ends of the twine especial care should be taken to make a firm, hard knot that will not slip.
Tag locks are not so common that their presence in theses from farm thieves is the rule rather than an exception. The total effect of leaving them on theses is bad. It puts our woolls in bad standing with wool houses and manufacturers. Long continued, it has led to the only logical result—namely, discrimination in price against our woolls.
Careful rolling, with the flesh side out and no ends or stray locks showing, adds greatly to the appearance of the thieves. It also prevents mixing the wool from different thieves, and, by the way, each thieves should be tied to itself. In the wool warehouse it is a pretty sight to see the heaps of graded wool faced with a tier of carefully rolled and that thieves.
GOOD FOR THE GRUNTERS.
This Handy Swill Barrel Doesn't Need Much Material or Labor.
A very handy swill barrel for feeding a lot of hogs when they come crowding around the trough is made as follows, says the Iowa Homestead, from which article and illustration are reproduced.
The barrel A is set on a small platform immediately above a trough, B, next to the hydrant D, which has a goose neck so that water can be drawn into the barrel directly from the hydrant. In the center of the bottom of the barrel is horses a two inch auger hole which is kept closed by means of a plug. C the handle of which is
HANDY SWILL, FLIDER
made of an old broom handle and long
enough to reach to the top of the barrel
Swill is made of ground feed, and
when it is desirable to feed the hogs
all the operator has to do is to stir
the swill and pull the plug, and the
swill runs out into the trough without
any trouble
When enough has run out the plug
may be returned to its place, and in
this way there is no spilling or
handling of swill. The trough may be of
any convenient length
Spring Culture of Wheat.
Harrowing wheat in the spiking is a practice that is receiving considerable attention of late years. Where the ground is compacted hard from beating rinses of early spiking, followed by rather dry weather, the harrowing of wheat with a drag harrow is good practice.
So far experiments have shown at the Missouri station, however, the harrowing of wheat is not always sufficiently bened but it ply for the work, although where one harrows in clover seed at the same time the practice is usually a plying one.
Where the wheat is bodily "heaved" the use of a heavy roller in the early spring is a good practice. All depends, however, upon the extent of the "heaving."
Kill the Hats and Save Chicks.
In answer to a subscriber who complains of rats getting away with his young chicks and requesting a remedy for exterminating the rodents, a correspondent of the Kansas City Farmer says that if powdered sulphur and cayenne pepper are scattered around the rat holes the vermin will disappear. Another remedy is to scatter powdered lye around their holes. The lye will stick to the rat's feet. He commences to lick them, which causes death.
Why Rely on Corn?
In sections where corn has not proved a success it is folly to rely upon corn. In such sections there are crops which do succeed, and it is the part of intelligence to plant them. Kafir, milo and other crops grow and do well where corn falls. Then why rely on corn?—Farm and Ranch.
