I will proT it by facts and argument! whloh no honcut man will dispute. In all oommiinlilce and cltle* and state* and nations where the Chris- tian religion ban been dominant woman'* condition ha* been ameliorated and Im- proved, r nd sh Is ili-fcn i! to and honor- ed In a thousand things, and erury gentleman takoe off hi* hat before her. If Tour assoolalous hare IKKMI good, you know that the name of wife, mother, daughter, suggests gracious niirnmndlugi. Yon know thure are no bettor schools and seminaries In thu country than the chools and armlnnrie-i for our young Uili.-*. You know that while woman may suffer Injustli-i* In KtiKland and the Uni- ted r!tato* sho lmn mom of her rights In Christendom than ha has anywhere else. Woman m.d chrl*tlnltr.

Bow far toward thl< latter condition that I speak of would woman go if Christian Influence* were withdrawn and Christian- ity were destroyed? It in only a qifoetion of dynamics. If an object be lifted to a certain point and not fastened there and the lifting power be withdrawn, how tong before that object will fall down to the point from which It started? It will fall down, and It will go Mill further than the point from which It started. Chris- tianity has lifted woman up from the V.TV depths of degradation nlmo-t to the skies. If that lifting power be w'.-tb- ilmwn, she falls clear hack to the depth from which she was resurrected, not go- Ing any lower, because there 1* no lower depth. And yt. notwithstanding the fact that the only salvation of woman from degradation and woe Is the Christian religion and the only Influence that has ever lifted her In the social wale* U ChrforUtnity I have read that there are von . ti who reject Christianity. I make no . i'k In regard to those persons. In the silence of your own soul make your observations. clety Dmoralls*1. If infidelity triumph and Christianity be overthrown. It mnan* the demoraliza- tion of society. lh one Idea In the Bible that atheist* and Infhlels most hate Is the Idea of retribution. Take away the Idea of retribution and punishment from society, and It will begin very soon to d i- integrate and take away from the minds of men the fear of hell, and there in.- a groat many of them who would very noon turn this world into a hell. The majority of those who are indignant against the liible bucanne of the Idm of puni-litnent am men whom lives are bad or whose heart* are impure and who hate the Uihle because of the Idea of future piiMi-hiner.i (or the same reason that criminals huUt ill- |H-ii!U-ntiary.

The mightiest restraints to- day against theft, against Immorality, against lltmrtlnlsm, against crime of all sort* the mightiest restraints are the retributions of eternity.

I'l.l Oh, my friends, there lias n.-v.-r been such a nefarious plot on earth a* that which Infidelity and atheism have plan- ned. We were shocked a few years ago because of tho attempt to blow up the Parliament House* In London, but IS lull lellty and atheism succeed In their attempt they will dynamite a world. Let them have, their full way, and this world will be a habitation of three rooms* habitation with just three rooms, the one a madhouse, another a lazaretto, the other a pandemonium.

In the theatre th* tragedy oomes first and the farce afterward but in this Infidel drama of death the faro* oomes first and the tragedy afterward. And In the former atheists and Infldelf laugh and mock, but in the In t tor Ood himself will laugh and mock. He says so "I will laugh at tbelr calamity and mock when their fear cometh. " From such a chasm of Individual, national, worldwide ruin, stand back. Oh, young men, stand back from that chasm I You see the practical drift of my sermon. I want you to know where the road leads. Stand hook from the chasm of ruin. The time Is going to come (you and I may not live to sue it, but It will come; just as certainly as there Is a Ood It will come) when the Inlldels and the atheist* who openly and out and out and above board preach and practice inlldellty aud atheism will he considered as crim- inals against society, as they are novy criminals against Ood. Society will push out thn leper, and the wretch with soul gangrened and loborotis and vermin oov- eml and rotting apart with hl txiasttallty will be left to die In the ditch and be denied d cent burial, and men will come with spodus and cover up the carcaa* where It falls, that It poison not tun air, and tie only text In all the Bible appro- priate for the fiinernl sermon will b* Jeremiah ml. 10, "He shall be burled with the burial of an ass."

It is well known that the churnebili- ty of cream depends largely on its han- dling daring ripening Sour cream churns more easily than sweet cream, Tbe reason for this may be that the presence of lactic acid has some effect on the surface tension of fat globules. Since eonr cream churn* more readily than sweet cream, it will not do to mix cream* of nnequal ripeness jut before churning Tbe soar cream would churn first, and the sweet cream would be left as bnttermilk If it is necessary to mix cream of oneqaal ripeness, it skonld b* done at least 12 hour* before churning, and th* mixing sbonld be thorough. It is important to stir tbe cream while it is ripening for a similar reason If the temperature of cream is not exactly alike throughout, as U nearly always the case, the warmer parts ripen more rspidly, and unless the cream is occa- sionally stirred it doe* not ripen uni- formly This leads to heavy losses of fat in tbe btutermirk. If cream has been handled exactly M it should be, the churn may be stopped when tbe ('titter is in granular form without lose of fat in tbe buttermilk, but if tbe cream is not uniformly ripened the churn cannot be stopped at this point without considerable lose.
