LESSON FOR JUNE 13
BLESSEDNESS OF FORGIVENESS.
I.KSSON TKXT-I'salm 3i
UULUKN TKXT-lllcssed la ht wlita-
rnnsKrL'VBlon Is forgiven, whoso sin ts
lovered I'aalm 32:1.
This psalm Is believed to have
grown out of David's experlenco with
Nathan (see Hotn. 4:6-8). It Is the
Bccond of tho soven so-called "peni
tential psalms" (6. 32, 38. 51, 102, 130,
143). While It Is sad, it is at the same
tlina one of tho most Joyful of all
psalms. It is tho record of bitter sor
row and also of heartfelt praise, und
is as vital in its message today as tho
day It wus given to the world.
I. The State or Condition of Happi
ness. (1) What It happiness? vv.
1, 2. Tho blessed or happy man is tho
one whoso sin Is covered. God only
can forgive sin and has plainly set
before us his agency, viz., the shed
blood. David as king enjoyed tho
pleasures of life, but he also knew the
result of hidden sin, of sins covered.
Tho Joy of forgiveness is offered to
all who accept God's gift of Justifica
tion (Acts 10:43). The psalmist seems
to multiply words. "Transgression"
means rebellion; "sin" to miss the
mark (Horn. 3;23); "Iniquity," to bo
crooked. When men try to cover sin
wo are expressly told the result (Prov.
28:13), but God literally takes away
when ho forgives and "covers" sin
(John 1:29; Fs. 103:12; 85:2). Nei
ther man or devil can uncover what
he has covered. (2) Who Is unhappy?
vv. S, 4. Contrasted with the stato or
condition of happiness granted to the
forgiven sinner is presented that of
thoso unforglven. David kept silence
without only to have a raging tempest
within lips Bllent, bones "roaring."
During the days of David's silence fol
lowing his sinful act he was guilty of
Increased acts of sin and cruelty (2
Sam. 12:31). The origin of the word
Solan is not known. It probably indi
cated a musical Interlude and in this
psalm most appropriately and dramat
ically appears. (3) How we may be
happy, vv. 5, 6. All sin Is uncovered
to God. His all-seeing eye can pone
trato man's futile endeavors to hido
his transgressions. The first step to
forgiveness and to happiness is con
fession of guilt. God's heavy band
wrought saving faith In David and
such faith has as its first condition
confession, "I acknowledged my sin."
Such confession is full and frank.
Nothing is held back nor has It any
element of hypocrisy, and it always
secures results (I John 1:9; Luke 15:
20-23).
Tho godly man, tho man who Is tho
recipient of God's grace thus bestowed,
prays in a time "when thou mayest be
found," or (see margin) "in tho time
of finding out sin" (v. 6 R. V.). The
prophet tells us that there is a time
when we may not find God (Isa. 55:6)
and Paul tells us when ho may be
found (II Cor. 6:2).
II. Hew to Continue In the State of
Being Happy. (1) Our security (v. 7).
When men forgivo they do not "cover."
What God hides ho forgets (Isa. 38:17;
Mlcah 7:19). Our security, our "hid
ing place" is Jehovah. Our preserver
is Jehovah (Ps. 91:31; Isa. 32:1, 2).
Jehovah preserves from troublo those
whom ho forgives (Ps. 34:19). Such
men have a serenity, a "peaco" oven
tho "peace of God" which tho sinner
can never have (Isa. 26:3; Rom. 5:1;
Phil. 4:7). (2) Our instructor (vv. 8,
9). (a) Positively we have ono who
not only forgives and blots out tho
past but ono who has promised to
"instruct." to "teach" and to "guide."
Nearly all bollevo that tho Introduc
tion of the personal pronouns In verse
8 indlcato that God is speaking In
responso to David's appeal recorded in
verse 6. Jehovah guides with his "eyo
upon" us (v. 8 R. V.) Ho Instruct
us by his spirit through his Word
(Ps. 119:105; John 16:13). (b) Neg
atively Somo must needs bo directed
by "bit and bridlo." Some havo to
learn through bitter experience. Wo
havo our choice. Those who will not
listen to instruction aro compared to
tho horso and tho mulo who "havo no
understanding." Even so thoy are
more useful than thoso who wildly
run after sin. Only thus can somo
"come near" (v. 9 R. V.) though that
Is better than not to bo brought near
at all. (3) Our faith (v. 9). What
kind of n life will God's forgiven chil
dren Hvo? What Is ono of the fore
most characteristics of a happy life?
Hero is tho answer, "Ho that trusteth
In the Lord." This is tho conclusion
of the whole matter.
Our only Joy Is In tho Lord "who
hath dono marvelous things whereof
we aro glad."
The Education of the Will.
"Know ThyBolf" is an Important
precept, but "Govern Thyself" is not
loss important. Parents should never
speak of ' breaking a child's will."
Thoy might Just as wisely speak of
breaking its buck-bono. Tho aim must
bo to cducato tho will, not to break Itt
Great Is the peril of tho boy who can
not say "No." Such a boy Ih mero
driftwood on the stream of llfo. Noth
ing truly great Is achieved in llfo with
out a resolute will. It ts tho executive
power of tho soul. Nothing Is moro
likely to lead to disaster than a feeble
cower of self-control, a weak yielding

DRY FARM SEED ESSENTIALS
Great Many Failures May De Attribu
ted to Overseedlng Much Care
Must Be Exercised.
One of tho most Important prolt
lums associated with dry farming is
the determination of tho rate of seed
ing per acre. A grunt many failures
In dry farming may bu attributed to
overst'otllug.
Tho one limiting factor of crop pro
duction, on dry hinds Is moisture and
It Is lurguly because of Us deficiency
that care must be exercised In tho rato
of planting. Knelt plant In the soil
takes out large quantities of wntur,
which nro evaporated Into the air
through tho leaves, consequently
ulinn a thick stand Is obtained largo
quuntitles of water nto drawn from
tho soil.
A thick, luxuriant stand In tho
spring or early summor Is no Indica
tion of a good harvest, as the prob
abilities are that such a heavy stand
will deplote the soil of moisture and
prevent cotnpleto maturity of tho crop,
whllo a thin stand would be able to
withstand the dry periods and yield
fairly well when harvested.
Thin planting does not of necessity
mean a thin stand. Whenever tho
molsturo conditions are favorablo tho
plants will stool or brunch out and
make a stand that will warrant a sat
isfactory yield and at the same tlmo
ho heavy enough to ulindo the ground
und reduce the losses from evcesslvo
evaporation. When plants are crowd
ed, very little, If any, stoollng occurs,
and the plant is unuble to adapt Itself
to Its immediate conditions.
As a general rule the rato of plant
ing for dry lands Is just a trltlo more
than half of whut would he used on
Irrigated lauds.
DISK HARROW IS IMPORTANT
Nothing Will Conserve More Moisture
Than by Using It oi Stubble
Also Used as a Cultivator.
The disk harrow may ho considered
as the most lmortant Implement for
grain funning In a dry climate. Noth
ing will conserve more moisture by
using It on stubble after harvest and
before plowing time. It may be used
as a cultivator for summer fallow
ing. On ground where small grains
aro to- follow such crops as beets or
potatoes the use of this implement
will often make plowing necessary.
The 16-inch disk is of proper size
for ordlnnry farm work. This disk
pulls somewhat heavier than the
larger sizes, but pulverizes enough bet
ter to justify its use. The 16-inch
disk penetrates the soil docper than
tho larger one, because it lias less
bearing-up surface; it revolves faster,
thus pulverizing the soil better.
For handlness and case of operation,
each gang of the disk should be con
trolled by an individual lever. All
bearings must be well protected from
dust and dirt, so constructed as to
bo easily oiled. Each disk should be
provided with a satisfactory foot-lover
cleaner. For thickening a thin stand
of alfalfa In the early springtime or
after a cutting, tho disk Is set almost
straight, In which condition it is run
over the field twice, Just as the alfalfa
Is beginning to grow in tho spring.
DAIRYING AND DRY FARMING
Cow Is One of Most Economic Ani
mals for Transforming Field
Crops Into Human Food.
Dairying should havo a place in dry
land farming, becauso tho dairy cow
Is ono of tho most economic animals
for transforming field crops Into hu
man foods. Tho ultimnto object of all
llvo stock and farm labor Is to pro
duce food for the masses of humanity
from tho field crops. Tho different
farm animals will produce from 100
pounds of dry matter In the form of
fluid crops about the following:
Tho sheep from 100 pounds of dry
matter will recover about 2.5 pounds
of edible dry matter for human food.
Tho steer from 100 pounds of dry
matter will recover about 2.7 pounds
of edlblo dry matter for human food.
Tho hog from 100 pounds of dry
matter will recover about 16 pounds
of edible dry matter for human food.
The dairy cow from 100 pounds of
dry matter will recover about 18
pounds of ediblo dry matter for hu
inun food.
This tablo, deducted from tho best
experimental data, shows that tho
dnlry cow recovers In her produco tho
lurgest per cent of the dry matter In
field crops for human food, and tho
hog ranks second.
PRINCIPAL DRY FARM CROP
In Case Corn Falls to Mature It Can
Be Cut Up and Put In Silo for
Use of Dairy Herd.
Corn Is one of the principal crops
of the dry farmer, and If for somo
reason there is a failure of crop ma
turity, tho stalk can bo cut up and
used for silage und thereby provldo nn
abundunco of tho very best of feed for
the dairy herd.
The silo ts ono of the best possible
consorvors of feed. I)y the use of
Bllngo, every bit of the corn can bo
utilized. About 40 per cent of tho
nutrients In corn aro in the stalk, and
without tho silo most of this goes to
waste.
The silo also enables tho dry farmer
to do winter dairying most success
fully. Tho dairy cow needs a succu
lent feed during the winter months.
Silage can also bo stored nnd fod dur
ing tho summer months whou there Is
a shortage of pasture.

THE GROWTH OF

H
Increase in Railway Mileage,
School Attendance and
Population.
Somo Idea of tho extent of railway
construction In Western Cnnada can
bo derived from tho fact that tho rail
way mtlungo in tho Provlnco of Al
berta has been doubled In throo years.
Tho present mileage Is 4,097. In nil
of the, settled dlstrlctn there is ampin
railway privileges. Tho rates aro gov
erned by a Dominion Hallway Commis
sion, ami In the oxerclso of their pow
ers thoy not only control tho rules,
giving fair equality to both railway
and shipper, but form a court to hear
complaints of any who may desire to
lodge tho samo.
In tho mntter of educntlon no bettor
Instance of tho advnncumont that la
taking placo can bo given thnn that

attendance nt the University of Al
berta has lncrensed 1,000 per cent In
flvo years, and Is now thoroughly rep
resentative of all settled portions of
tho Province Tho students In attend
nnco aro from Blxty-ono distinct dis
tricts. Then as to tho prosperity which fol
lows rusldenco In Western Cnnnda, J.
K. Kdwurd of Illarkle, Altn., gives
splendid testimony. Ho writes, "In
tho spring of 1907 I first camo to thlH
locality from tho Stnto of Iowa, Cass
County, nnd located on a quarter sec
tion of land near lllackle. Since com
ing hero I havo been engaged In mixed
farming, which I havo found to bo
moro profllnblo than where I formerly
lived. On coming hero my worldly
holdings wero small besides having a
fntjilly to care for. I now own thrco
quarter sections, sixty head of cattlo,
twenty head of ho -sea and forty head
of hogs, without encumbrance.
"During tho sovert years I havo not
had a crop fall. My best crop of onts
averaged nlnoty bushels per aero, with
a general yield of thlrty-flvo bushels
and upward. My best wheat crop aver
aged forty-threo bushels per aero.
When I havo had smaller yields por
acre I havo found thnt It has been
duo to Improper cultivation. Tho win
tors here, although at times the weath
er is cold, I find as a wholo are vory
agreeable. Tho Bummers aro warm,
but not sultry. Tho Bummer nights
aro cool and ono is always assured of
a good nlght'B rent. My health has
been much better, as I do not suffer
from catarrh alnco coming hero. I
have no land for sale, and am not
wishing to make any chango, but
would bo pleased to answer any en
quiries concerning this locality." Ad
vertisement. When a woman plans to do uiiythlng
out of tho beaten path she always
wonders what tho neighbors will Hay
ubout it.
What tho uveruge man really should
lavo Is not his rights, but his deserts,
