When this issue of the Texas Fam

readers the glad notes OF New Yaer's
bells Wi: oe ringing out their well
come 10 1893, and with our faces to-
ward the future we shall enter upon
a new years work. One of the first
items that will demand the farmers
attention will be preparation for a
garden. No well regulated farm is
complete without good garden

Frrt Grower: A chemical analv-
SIS OF the persimmon Just before the
ripening stage, says Z. L. Campbell.
in the Republic, shows that it con-
tains large per cent of pectin. aud
as the fruit begins to turn ripe this
pectin changes into pectose in almost
as large aquantity. Pectose is the
principle of grapes, etc, which is
made into jelly, and the question
comes up, why wouldn't persin mons
make good jelly? Experiments
should be made to answer this cues
tioD. If it is sound that thew would
make good jelly, such discovery
would be profitable. The persim-
mon is hardy and grows here With
out any attention at all. If one tree
yields FIVE bushels without cultiva-
'tion land they frequently exceed this
yield it ought to yield anyhow one
third more when cultivated. If the
fruit could be properly utilized there
would be great money in persimmon
culture. Why are not some expert
ments made in this line!

The monthly conservation meet

held last Saturday evening with Il
good attendance. Several responses
were read from absent members
which were highly appreciated by
all present.
In the absence of the Pastor Rev.
F. E. Moore, DR.. P. M. Bartlett
filled the pulpit Sabbath morning
and evening and preached two very
instructive sermons He ably re-
futed the doctrine of the Catholic
Church, in regard to the existence
of the Soul in purgatory, after
death, for period of time, before
reaching its final destiny. Those
who are not satisfied upon this
point missed Il rare treat by not
beinglpresent. His text in the morn
ingawas John II, IL and Luke %
IS. Object was to show that the
dead enter at once into their final
resting place. He said the Bible
does not form the idea ofan Inter
mediate state, in which the saint is
prepared for Heaven. All Christ
ians are prepared through Christ
aud At death go to live with Him
who is at the right hand of God
The address at night was on Inspi-
ration text . Timothy 3: 16. His pc.
5ition was that there were some
slight unimportant mistakes in the
Bible, but the inspired writer's were
so superintendent that G''Ps will was
not obscured, but clearly revealed

pose.
A collection will be taken mex
Sabbath morning, to be used il
cleaning the old grave yard at thu

who have relatives whose ashes arr
sleeping there should take this OPP
portunity of contributing some
thing to beautify and repair fence
or do anything needed to be done
so that the resting place of you
forefathers will not be disturbed b.
hogs or other animals. This is
worthy cause and it is hoped that
liberal collection will be taken a
that time.

Briggs and the Bible.

Any man who discards the HO-
ly Scriptures is justly called a here
tic. Many no doubt think Prof.
Briggs does it. He says he believes
the Bible to be divinely inspired
and the infallible guide in faith and
practiced. But one says, che teach
es that there are errors in the Ri
BILE, and anyone who teaches that
must be a hereto" Be careful,
friend, what you affirm, for there is
not a man who has lived during the
last thousand years who has told
us he ever found Hebrew bible, in
which language the old Testament
was written by the inspired pen,
that had no errors in it. No such
Hebrew Bible is to be found any
where on this planet. The same
statement must be made of the
Greek Testament; for in that lam
guage our New Testament was
written by Divine inspiration. In
the manuscripts of the Hebrew BIZ
BILE some say 100000 variations in
the readings have been found,
and in the Greek Copies of the New
Testament about 10000 variations,
and no scholar in the world can tell
which is the nearest to the first in
spired manuscript. And yet with
all these various readings not a
single important truth in the Bible
is affected by them. In the light of
Christian scholarship it is no use to
say there are no mistakes in the
Bible. DIR. Briggs is familiar with
these mistakes, admits them, but
says they do not invalidate the
Word of God. He admits tn t the
original Hebrew and Greek manu-.
script of the Bible are Gods infalli-
BILE Word, and so he affirms of our
English translation, because the
holy truths of Divine Revelation
are found even in all good transla-
tons of the original languages of
the Scriptures.
The Bible in French, in German,
in Spanish, in Italian, in Chinese,
in japanese, is the Word of God.
But some one says, "He teaches
that the original-the first manu-
scripts-those written by the in
spired authors had errors in them.
DIR. Briggs does not positively af-
firm this, but with many other
Christian scholars he thinks that
it probably was so. Our Confess
sion of Faith says, "The Old Testa-
