AT Roanoke, the organization of
ushers, and personal workers proved a
great FACTOR in the campaign showing
Mr.. Norton to be thoroughly competent.
In every meeting there were those al
ways ready to assist in this important
work. Not only did they assist in the
services, but during spare time" they
were found in offices, stores, and in
many instances in the homes, speaking
to men and women about their souls
salvation. They also proved of great
assistance to the pastors of the city in
securing the names, addresses and
church preferences Of converts who de-
sire to unite with some church.

II believe" he continued, chat in a
few months there will be a new Roa-
noke, not so much because of the work
or the eVangelists, but because of the
new life taken on by our ministers and
personal workers. I am certain that
scores Of men and women in our city
will push forward the work so nobly
begun. There has already come such q
strong moral sentiment in the commu-
nifty that the city officers will see that
the people want better state of things.

THE UNION MOVEMENT IN KOREA
BY Rev. W. B. Harrison.

The second meeting of the General
Council of Evangelical Missions was held
In Seoul Sept 10th and 18th, 1906. The
attendance was large and the interest at
times amounted to enthusiasm
No resolutions expressive of mere SEN
tment were offered, as last year, but the
time was filled with the earnest discus
sion or stubborn facts. The tone of the
meeting was more conservative than it
was year ago, so that many who were
astonished at the headlong rate of the
movement year ago are hearty SUD-
porters OF 1t In its present form
During the past year the following ex-
perlments were made in cooperation:
Boys intermediate schools In Seoul and
Fyehg Yang, medical work in Pyeng
lang, publication of Sunday-school liter
azure hymn book, the Korea Mission
HtGlu' church paper, and the Union

UNION EvANGELIsTIC MEETINGS

UNION EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS.
The Rev. DR.. ]. Wilbur Chapman.
leader OF the most significant evangelis
lc movement of the day, with his corps
Oh associate evangelists and gospel sing
ers, began the winter campaign with a.
most successful meeting, held in Roa-
noke, Virginia. DR.. Chapman's method
is TO stir a great city by conducting
usually for period of from two to four
WeekS-simultaneous revival meetings
In the various churches of the many de-
nominations. The united effort of all
the churches in this work has been re-
markable and DR.. Chapman has been
enabled to burn the truth home that it
is the business of the Church Of God to
save souls and that everything which
would in any wise hinder this supreme
effort must be cast to the four winds
OF the earth. So when he and his asso-
c1ates enter city, all UNCONVENTIONAL
lines are lost or merged for the time
oelng into this one thing to win men
and women for Christ. DR.. Chapman
and his corps of some thirty associates
nave toured the United States from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, conducting cam
palgns OF this character, and many thou
sands of converts have been recorded
as the result, not to mention the back
sl1ders reclaimed and a new atmosphere
created which makes the work for the
pastor and church member easier.

excellent chorus choir of several hun

and singer, Frank Dickson
The Rev. G. T. Schaeffer had charge
of the meetings for young people and
was ably assisted by his chorus leader.
w. H. Collision. The Rev. William
Asher and Mrs. Asher, held meetings in
the saloons, jails and In the various
shops These services were considered
by the ministers of Roanoke as among
the best of the campaign.
For weeks the most careful and pains
taking preparations had been made, both
material and spiritual, and the opening
day found everything in readiness. The
meetings in all the districts were largely
attended. The evangelists and singers
were at their best, and a large number
of souls were brought to confess their
Saviour. Inspiration, enthusiasm, and
fine devotional fervor marked every SER
vice, and the results of the campaign
cannot be estimated.
The leading dailies devoted columns
to illustrating the scenes and to report
ing not only the sermons Of the after
noon and evenings, but also many de-
tails of the services. Several had lead
ing commendatory editorials, and one
devoted nearly a column to this pur-
pose
Dr. Chapman emphasizes the impor-
lance of personal work. Associated with
him is Mr.. Ralph O. Norton, of Minneap-

FOR FRUIT TREES.
How the Various Kinds Are Per-
formed and the Best Time to
Do the Work.

Grating is the art Of bringing to-
they will unite. Usually Il portion of
the last years growth of one plant,
with a length of four or five inches,
called 4 scion. is united with another
plant, called the stock, either on the
root, at the collar, CO on the trunk or
branches. Grating mag be employed
for several purposes: CD Il" repro
duce non-seed-bearing varieties, or
hose that do not come true from ssed
~ to increase the vigOr or hardness
Of weak and tender sorts; CD to bring
slow-bearing kinds into earlier fruit
fulness; ca to change varieties.
Grating is generally performed at
the beginning Of the seasons growth.
At that time dormant buds can be pro-
duced, and although the union would
take place more quickly after the sap
becomes thickened, the chance of tall
ure will be greater at that time, owing
to the evaporation from the leaves. The
method employed depends to some sx-
tent upon the size and kind OF tree
upon which it is to be used.
The form commonly used upon small
trees is known as the whip or tongue
graft. 1t IS especially adapted for root
grating. Fig. /. The stock Cd is cut
OF at an angle, and a sha ing OF the
bark and wood is removed from the
lower side OF the end; a tongue Is then
cut near the end. The scion is pre-
pared by cutting off The lower END so
that the exposed surface will be about

Although he will not take the seat In

veteran, Gen. BankheRd, for a year, the

duties Of the national lawmakers. He
has thus early asked John Sharp VIII

fairs Committee in order that he may the
better promote his scheme for making
the United States navy bigger than the
combined navies Of the world. The hero
Of the MerTimaC is resolutely in earnest
about this idea. and delights to discuss
it with anybody who is interested. He
talks about the expenditure of billions
for the increase of the navy with as
much sangfroid as other statesmen talk
about securing a few thousand dollars
for post-office buildings for their districts,
and seems unable to understand why any
body should think his scheme impracti-
cable because Of its cost.-He appears to
be convinced that the United States will
have to fight the world within the next
twenty years or so. and it is because
of this conviction that he wants navy
bigger than the combined fleets of the
earth.
