Grapes.
AS popular fruit the grape stands
next to the apple. When a man buys
package of apples or grapes
he generally knows what he is
getting. Grapes ON the Chicago
market are of more uniform
character than any other fruit
During the fall months baskets OF
grapes are sold by the thousands.
daily. and almost always the buyers
are satisfied with them. This year
they have been quite high from the
consumers standpoint this being due
more to the fact that there has been
big demand for them than to any
shortage OF supplies.
Grapes are grown over a very wide
range of latitude. and every year new
vineyards are planted. II Is now esti'
mated that the area In grapes Is In
the neighborhood of half million
acres. California is the great grape
grower. and that state grows about as
many grapes as all the rest of the
United States put together. The larg'
est single area planted to grapes is
Belt in New York and Ohio. This be
gins at Brocton in New York. and ex'
tends to Sandusky in Ohio. and is
limited on the north by Lake Erie. On
the south It extends to- Lake Chan
tauqua. In this region nearly all OF
the farmers are engaged in the grow
ing of grapes. The railroads are able
to fui nish the growers with the best OF
SHIPPING facilities, and every day dur
ing the grape-growing season whole
train loads of grapes go east and
west toward the great cities, where
most of the grapes are consumed.
At the present time there are hun
dreds of varieties of grapes being
grown in this country. They are, how
ever. descended from four chief fami
lies: Wits labrusca. known also as the
Fox grape; Wits aestivalis (summel
grape); Wits cordifolla, sometimes
called the Frost grape. and Wits vini
fera. the kind generally grown in Eu
rope. There are quite a number o
other species, but none that hav'
amounted to very much in cultivation
The entire grape growing industr,
has grown up in about S5 years. II
1920 no more than two varieties of tn
grapes now grown were known here
The greatest advance has been mad
within the past so years. Some of tn
new grapes have been produced b
hybridization, but the most progress
has been made by cultivating chanc
seedlings. In this way originated tn
Concord grape, the most famous an
most valuable grape grown in tn
United States east of the Rocky mour
tains.

Hands Pinned pown--MiracuIous
Cure by cutieura.
when my little boy was six months
old, he had eczema. The sores extend
ed so quickly over the whole body
that we at once called In the doctor.
We then went to another doctor,
but he could not help him, and In our
despair we went to third one. Mat.
ters became so bad that he had regu-
lar holes In his cheeks large enough
to put finger into. The food had to
be given with n spoon, for his mouth
was covered with crusts as thick as
a finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
purate, as did also his eyes. Hands,
whole body was covered over and
over. We had no rest by day or night.
Whenever he was laid In his bed, we
had to pin his hands down; otherwise
he would scratch his face and make an
open sore. think his face must have
itched most fearfully.
I'VE finally thought nothing could
help. and | had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to Eu-
rope. hoping that the sea air might
cure him, otherwise he was to be put
under good medical care there. But,
| Lord be blessed, matters came differ
| emily. and we soon saw miracle. A
friend of ours spoke about Cuticura.
| We made a trial with Cuticura Soap,
Ointment and Resolyent, and within
! ten days or two weeks we noticed a
decided Improvement. Just as quickly
as the sickness had appeared 1t also
began to disappear. and within ten
weeks the child was absolutely well

DIR. NEEL. UNION AND CONSEQUENCE.
GEORGE ALLEN.
Raleigh, N. c.

In the Central Presbyterian of April llth DR..
Neel inquiries OF me, "What about your forcing some
of us to remain apart from all Gods children when
1t to u.s. that it is the will of the Great Head
Of the Church that all may be that the world
may believe that the Father sent Him." In reply
am not sure that [ exactly understand the meaning
OF this sentence. 1t seems to interpret Lords
prayer requiring the universal Church to be one
organic body. Is Dr. Neel ready for this? Again
In opposing union with the Northern Presbyterian
Church we do not propose forcing" any ones con-
science, nor is this necessary. Any whose con-
science carries him, is at liberty follow his con-
science. L do not mean by this to say L want those
brethren to go; am simply answering the question
Does not DIR. Neel that his conscience and that
OF us who oppose union bear very different relations
to the matter of destroying the autonomy of our
church? The absorption and destruction of our
Church and her testimony the things that hurt
our consciences. And union does do this
DIR. Neel asks another question. "Is it not
true that when resorts to conscience and an i'm
piled threat of schism that reasons have failed?"
answer emphatically NO. 1t just as often shows
that the opposing party deaf to reasons" Had
reasons" failed DIR. Chalmers and others when they
seeded from the Established Church? Had "rea-
sons" failed when DR.. Hodge and others protested
against the Spring Resolutions and their conse
quences, or when the Southern Presbyterians with
drew from the Northern Presbyterian Church in
1862 Had reasons" failed when the Southern men
of Missouri withdrew from the Northern Presbyter-
ian Church? Or had the Established Church and the
Northern Presbyterian Church become deaf to "rea-

Missions, is like who believes in COAL but not in
steam, who expects victory from the right wing with
out the aid of the left wing of the army in the field
Admitting the arguments against missions in heath
lands he yet compelled to believe in the dutv
and the success of giving the gospel to the whole
worlds as one brought up to believe in it; as one
having so many friends, the best men and women in
the world who have gone to the ends of the earth for
Chrst loyal to his church which was so earnestly
engaged in the work; loyal to the Divine Master;
witness of the the missionaries are win
ming, and seeing in missions the browning op
portunity of the day to bless the world and glorfy
God
He suggested as his subject, 'The Wave theory of
Missions" AS in the natural world there were sue
cesslVe waves of creative energy, it was somewhat
true in all growth, progress was made in successive
movements 1t was so in personal experience; there
are waves of emotion and of love- of devotion and of
JOY There have been waves of mission progress in
history; periods of advance, the Mediterranean the
Imperial the Feuda the period of the crusaders and
then OF colonization. And we have the time of
organization 1t may be the crest of the final wave
VINO shall say? The nineteenth century had its dis
tnctive character not in steam nor electricity nor
yet in civil and religious liberty but rather in the
fact that it age of awakening in missions in
all the world.
He told of encouraging news from Japan, Korea
India, China and Africa, from every quarter of the
globe and then of financial progress from the Home
Administrations of Foreign Missions In dramatic
and picturesque style the preached portrayed the foes
of missions giant and Cefying; Seshness Ignorance
Death and SIM each in turn scong at the Church of
Christ, and declaring 81 hate your king"
What shall we say in reply? The time has come
when Foreign Missions must be the chief business of
every Christian man and One thing is more
certain than all else in the world that is that
the church will succeed The battle will surely be
won. Will you have part in the victory? Christ
is going to be the world king. Will you help to place
the crown on his head?

BRIEFS.

The strength of church is not measured by the
length of its roll.
Rituasm is entirely harmless so long as there is
not connected with belief that there is any saving
efficacy in the forms which are observed and the
words that repeated.
The Church is in the world. That is good thing
Christ put it there. The world is in the Church
That is not so good thing. OF the members of his
first church Jesus said: "They not of the world
even as L am not of the world" John xvii d.
As ray of light in a pure drop of water is divided

Need OF Good Roads,

The awakening of the country to the
need Of good roads has just begun, says
the Boston Herald. The next few years
will see some rapid strides in this mat
ter. Two Of the most potent factors in
the present awakening are the automo-
bile and rural free delivery. The trans
continental automobile race which was
pulled off last summer resulted In the
accumulation of much valuable infor-
nation as to the road conditions be-
tween New York city and Portland,
Ore. The two seven horsepower run
abouts which contested made the dis
lance of 1900 miles in forty-four days,
demonstrating the feasibility of the au-
tomobile as means of long distance
transportation. The finish Of the race
was made in Portland in time for the
national good roads convention.
