Bees and Fruit.

The beekeepers of certain fruit
growing section of California got into
an alteration about pasturage for
their bees, and, as a result, beekeep-
ing was abolished in that part of the
State. During the next few years,
the fruit crops fell off fully one-half.
The question was investigated by the
alarmed growers, and it was found
that the decrease in fruit has been
coincident with the giving up OF bee
keeping.-Country Life in America.
A great many. especially those who
raise grapes, object to bees, claim
ing that they puncture the grapes and
then extract the juice Investiga-
tions have shown that the bees do
not touch the grapes until after they
have been punctured by some bird or
insect and when they see the juice
ooZing out they naturally take ad-
vantage of the chance of turning this
juice into honey.-New York Wit

CHRISTIAN ENUEAVURNO
NOVEMBER EIGHTEENTH.
How the Bible Condemns lntemper.
ance; Review Of all Temperance
Passages.-Hab. 2:5-t5.

Whatever Is of God, satisfies: strong
drink. and all else of the devil, is only
an ever-growing, ever-mockiny desire.
Strong drink "spoils many nations. -
all nations: 1t strengthens not one OF
them.
The source of the drink evil Is
covetousness. because covetousness is
the motive of the saloon.
Even If the saloon license fees ex.
ceeded the cost of the sin of intemp-
erance. IL would be blood money, and
would bring no prosperity to city.
If the drunkard is the devils fool,
the saloon-keeper is the Tempter him
self
Salome's indecent dance before the
drunken court Is an indication of how
lust and strong drink have always
gone hand in hand.
OF Christ's turning water into wine
1t has been well said that If men con-
fined themselves to the wine made by
Christ, no harm would be done. II is
inconceivable that Christ would not
condemn drunkenness.
AS to Pau's prescription of wine to
Timothy. we may well wait to drink
wine till we have n Paul to prescribe
Il. and are sure that we are Timothys.
In that same epistle Paul condemneI
wine drinking plainly, when used as
a beverage.
The story of Noah, the drunkard, in
the first book of the Bible, is an in.
dication of the age-long impetus that
this curse has gained.
Drunkards forego heaven for the
sake of a hell on earth.
A sufficient condemnation of drink
ing Is the concealment which it In
stinctively seeks.
Who would wish to die With brain
clouded by alcohol? But death may
come at any time.
lntemperance is responsible for
most OF the poverty-poverty Of spirit
as well as of gold
The devil is the father of lies, and
the constant misrepresentation made
by saloon advocates shows the ori.
gin of the institution they are de-
Tending.

Christianity is peculiarly a witness
ing and preaching religion. When a
church ceases witnessing to the con-
scious new life in Jesus Christ, and
mIltiplies its liturgical features until
the sermon of necessity becomes
''sermonette," and is tucked into an
obscure corner of the hour of service
behind the anthems and the antipho-
nails then the church has lost its
grip on the vitalities of religion, and
can no longer inspire and save the
world spiritually no matter what 1t
may still be able to do esthetically
and intellectually. The gospel idea
is that every disciple shall be a wit

THE Spirit and the bride say

message has been given. Let us join
the sweet chorus of invitation to a
thirsty world TO come to the fountain
of the water OF life.
We learn from our Readings that
somehow our own salvation is CON
ditioned upon our making efforts for
the salvation of others. Indeed un-
less 1t be in our hearts to save others

WORDS OF WISDOM.


Quiet men make the most noise
in the world.
Crime often comes from co-operat-
ing carelessness.
The bravest men in this world are
the quiet women.
Many of our sorrows would die IL
we ceased watering them.
Faith puts it's feet on reason and
opens its eyes to revelation.
A mans sociological theories often
depend on his social status.
1t may be that your burden seems
heavy because your crown is in it,
II you would do great things you
must learn to be deaf to discourage
ment
If 1t does you no good to give
dime, 1t will pay to try the effect of
a dollar.
The people who hunt for faults
never find the ones that are nearest
at hand.
The doctrinal nuts that are hard
est to crack often have nothing but
dust inside.
You cannot measure a mans close
ness to God by the closeness OF his
disposition.
1t is good to get near to natures
heart, but 1t is better to get near to
the heart of human nature. Ram S

The Difference in Cows.

AT the New Jersey station every

in cows fed on equal amounts of food.
The best COW gave 5000 pounds of
milk and the poorest COW only 4413
pounds. The best COW produced Fat
equal to 405 pounds of butter. and

 It is reported that there have been several special detectives or agents at work in Brinkley looking into the whiskey violations, and other arrests may follow. in fact Prosecuting Attor- ney Greenlee has admitted as much.
 Surely the way of the whiskey seller in Brinkley is hard one and with the determined effort on the part of the Mayor Prosecuting Attorney, backed up by the City Council and the entire good citizenship of the city, it is going to be even harder in the future than in the past. The poor depraved crea- lure who imagines that he must sell booze will find it a most dangerous and foolish risk in Brinkley.
