Palm ree..

One of tho most interesting trees men
toned in history is the palm tree This
tree does not grow in the United States.
Though there are specimens IN many
OF our large parks. and in Prospect Park,
Brooklyn, N. Y, in tho conservatory.
they have room called the palm room.
filled with these wonderful trees.
It Is said that the Arabs have $50 diff
ferent names for the palm tree. Also
they say there are 800 different ways
the palm tree can be used.
The palm trees bears fruit called
tho date, and this furnishes food for a
great number Of people.
Medicines are also made from the palm
tree. Couches, baskets, bags, mats,
brushes and fly traps are made from
the leaf OF the palm tree.
4 From the trunk Of the tree are made
dens. Parts of the treo are also used
for firewood.
From certain portions of the lenves a
thread is made. which is twisted into
ropes and rigging for ships.
No wonder tho Arabs think so much
of the palm tree, when you think how
useful 1t is.
The palm treo Is also closely associated
with the Christian religion when Christ
entered Jerusalem, we nre told that the
people covered the path which he rode
over with palm branches and waved them
before him.
sThsis why the Epscopalian and Cath
Ollie Churches observe Palm Sunday.
1t is said in history. that the palm tree
is a sign Of victory.

The following resolution was unani-

I'm view of the initiative which the Pres
ident of the United States has taken toward
the consummaton of peace with Russia and
Japan, we hail with satisfaction the nearer
approach to one another of the nations and
peoples of all civilized lands a harbinger
of peace and good will and of the enlarge

"As the people of the world come nearer
together, larger will be the sphere of love
and enlightenment, SO that no nation can
suffer oppression and wrong without arous-
ing the sympathy as well as the justified
protests of sister nations throughout the
world.

among the nations and direct our secretary
to communicate to him this expression of
