did affect me unpleasantly until l
learned what this clergyman's mean

He said that in almost all of the
communities of the United States
there are TO be found more or less
struggling churches, whereas, if the
number of them were reduced, then
those that survived might flourish
and be able to carry on more effec-
lively the special work for which
the church is set apart. To demon

yanced. II has been therefore graft
flying to me and to those who assist
ed me in this work that there should
be now undertaken formally a meth
cd of church federation by means
OF which the great organic bodies
of the Christian Church may act in
unison along all the lines upon
which there IS common agreement.
That federation has now been per-
fected in the city OF New York.
l have had opportunity to talk
with several of the clergymen and
laymen who have taken part In this
work of perfecting q church fedora
ton They are all united in the
opinion that this undertaking Is to
be the memorable event in the re-
ligious history Of the United States
for the year 1905. 1 could have
wished that there might have been
even wider reception than the feder-
alton saw fit to perfect, but 1 am
sure that that will come in due time.
The advantages of this work are,
believe, incalculable.
Aside from the perfecting of the
church federation I find that The
clergymen look upon the remark
able evangelical work done by Mr..
Evan Roberts. lay preacher Of
Wales. under whose preaching thou
sands have professed Christianity,
and in this country the revivals OF
religion at Schenectady and Buffalo,
as the conspicuous and greatly grati-

of the civilized world in the year

the United States IS both export
ing and importing its candies, all of
which nicely illustrates how the
making of even the minor non-essen-
tials of life can develop into proper
tions which almost stagger the i'm
imagination. The annual consump-
ton of candy in one of the large
cities of the United States exceeds
$1,000, 900.
AS heretofore stated the most in
teresting thing about modern candy
making is the introduction OF auto
matte machinery. The work which
it does, it was long supposed, could
never be accomplished by other than
human hands. How familiar is the
sight Of the taffy pullers in the
home, or of the man at the candy
store, who throws the taffy time
after time over hook upon the wall
and then pulls it out again. The
automatic taffy puller, which is
shown in the photograph, takes one
hundred pounds of taffy fresh from
the kettle and gives 1t the necessary
pulling in fifteen minutes. When the
taffy comes from the kettle it is
brown in color. and, as in the case of
the hand-pulled taffy, IT is white
when the automatic puller has done
its work. Just two hours after the
molasses has been poured into the
kettle, the finished produce is all
wrapped in papers and packed in
boxes ready for shipment. This
machine does the dork of at least
fifteen or twenty workmen and does
It well
The sugar, molasses, and other in
gradients which go to make taffy
are mixed and boiled in a kettle
which is heated by steam. When Of
the proper consistency the mixture
is placed upon a cooling slab and
cooled by means of cold water from
beneath. 1t is now ready for the

Honey the OnqinaL Smeet

1t viii be recalled that honey was
the great sweet of Bible times. and
Its use for sweetening purposes long
antedated the product derived from
sugar cane. The Greeks and the
Romans have left records which
snow that sugar cane was raised by
them, but, in their uses of sweets.
money evidently had precedence. IL
was not until the sixteenth century
that sugar from cane was made in
England. In England and in other
countries the word candy" is not
used. The general term "confection-
ary," which is of Latin origin, is en-
pioyed instead. In foreign countries
randies were for long time the pro-
tuct of the kitchens of the royal
households and their use was re-
stricted chiefly to the palaces. To-
day even the ragged boy upon the
streets every now and then enjoys
his candy.
The real candy making industry
had its beginning little more than
a half century ago, when in Eng
land confectioners from far and near
met at a confectionery exposition.
Since that time the development has
been rapid, and the demand has been
enormous. Fifty years ago the candy
production Of this country was about
s3.00O,00O in value. In fifty years
the value of the production increas-
ed until it was more than thirty
times $3,000,000. Not only this, but
