A can of cherries with history run
ming back to the war and recalling a
vacant chair which a loving mother
has waited thirty-two years to see oc-
cupied. was opened several days ago in
the village of Congress. Ohio, by Mrs.
Hannah Dorland. A few years before
the war her son, William Keeler-she
was twice married-planted cherry
tree. While he was in the army the
tree bore fruit and the mother canned
the first crop the tree produced, saying
she would keep that can until her son
returned home. Unfortunately he was
one of the i'll faJed Suitana crew. AT
ter weary wait for his return she babe
a few friends to her house, opened the
can of choice fruit kept for her brave
boy and feelingly told them the story
of the cherry tree planted by her son
before he offered his services as sac
rifice to his country.

ANTIQUITY OF THE ART OF WRIT
ING.-Professor Price, in the Sunday
School Times, says: We are now Ger.
tain that writing was not invented in
the time of David and Solomon; that
it had been in use thousands of years
before Joshua inscribed the com mand-
ments In clay upon the altar at Shec-
hem; that Moses was reared in liter
airy court, surrounded by an educated
priesthood who were in possession of
remarkable literary products OF an
older time; that, in the fifteenth and
sixteenth centuries b. c.. Asia and
Africa carried on extensive literary
correspondence by means of the cunei-
form writing of Babylonia. We know
also that Egypt has left us writings
from the fourth dynasty-a date more
than 1000 B. G.
The illiterate argument has gone to
pieces in the face of such facts. Liter
allure has fiourished in the earth for
more than six thousand years. Writ
ing was not unknown among civilized
people after 5000 B. c., Israel not able
to produce such literature as the Old
Testament contains until very late in
history! David wrote no psalms, be-
cause that age could not have produc-
ed such masterpieces as are attributed
to him (Cheyne.) Only a blindfolded
critic could make such an assertion.
The indications are that we
must very soon reverse the scale and
see how far back we can locate the
composition of the Old Testament
books, rather than how far down in
the Maccabean period.
