PRESBYTERIAN SERVICES.

At the First Presbyterian church, corner Adams street and Third. ave nue. the pastor. Rev. H. M. Campbell. read as the scripture lesson the sec ond chapter of Pauls Epistle to the Philippians. concluding with the 21ss verse. Taking as his text for the morning preaching service the fifth verse of the same chapter Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus"
 The sermon was an earnest appeal for Christians to do personal work for Christ-to win souls for His glory. These. are some of the thoughts pre- sented: Jesus came to save sinners. hating the sin but loving the sinner. and appreciating his lost condition.
 If Christians are 10 be like Christ and pleasing in Gods sight they must be about the fathers business" not apathetic church members living as if ashamed of the King. but loyal fol- lowers desirous of doing his commands.
 Rev. Campbell reminded Christians that when they as a body are ready to do what Christ wants them to do, to go where He would have them go and say what He wants them to say, then the world will be speedily saved.
 As Illustrating the way the heather regard Christians. one once said to a noted evangelist. That Savior of yours was a wonderful man put there are none of his followers just like him."
 Having Christ's mind. his followers will have a proper conceptiog of the condition of the lost and knowing that they are to be used for His glory to carry to them the glad message of salvation. they will hasten to do their Fathers will.
 Rev. Campbell cited numerous in stances where a word spoken at the direction of the Spirit had been the means of saving hundreds, sometimes thousands of souls.
 Every Christian was urged to be about his Fathers business"
 MT. and Mrs. Baker. the blind sing CTS. sang very sweetly at both morn ing and evening services.

THE PREACHING
 OF THE WORD
Sunday Sermons in PhOe-
 nix Churches
The Problem of the Chil- dren Was Considered Last Night.

Rev. J. w. Atwood of Trinity Episoo- pal church, SGuth Second avenue. preached an excellent sermon in the morning on "The Responsibilities of Churchmen" and at 4:SO p. m. gave a lecture on Phillip Brooks, the Chris tian Preacher and Prophet"
 In part. Rev. Atwood said: Phil lips Brooks was born in Boston. in 1885. His mother was a woman Of remarkable simplicity and strength of character of the Phillips family of Andover. Two of the noblest colleges were founded by his ancestors.
 The names of Stephen C. Phillips and Wendell Phillips are sufficient to remind us of the courage, the love of country and of humanity and the spirit of reform which was inherent in the blood of that family and We must not forget that John Cotton. the illustrious minister, was also one of his ancestors.
 His first charge Was a small church in Philadelphia from which he was soon called to Holy Trinity, perhaps the largest and most influencial parish in Philadelphia.
 Here he remained through the war and made his reputation as a preach CT.
 Tn 1869. at the age of thirty-four. he was called to the rectorship of Trinity church, Sumner street. Bos- ton. where he labored for more than twenty years.
 He was pre-eminently a preacher. As the high water mark of his preach. ing. must place the Lenten addresses of 1891 to the men of Boston.
 Tt was said that the Hungry Peo- ple' went to hear Phillips Brooks preach, for he sent them not away empty. He preached heaven. not hell: Gods love rather than His punish ments. He was a message of hopeful ness inspired by great faith.
 He loved to call himself simply a preacher. but he had other gifts. Ev- erything in human living stirred and interested him-art, literature, politics, every department of life, with the pos sible exception of music.
 Suddenly in the midst of his varied work in the consumnate towering and richness Of his living the hand of God touched him and he was not. God had need of him

SOME SUGGESTIONS
 FOR TREE PLANTING
Points B. Professor Thornber For the
 Proper Observance oF Arbor Day.

The ornamentation of a southern Arizona home with trees and shrubs is for various reasons often attended with more than usual difficulty. Ex- cept in the fertile valleys. the com monly limited soil covering necessi- tates the digging of holes in the un- deriving caliche to be filled with soil; the prolonged hot, dry summers ren- der unavoidable no little care in the way of irrigation and cultivation; and and oftentimes the limited or irregular water supply, constitute serious draw backs to the beautifying of ones home surroundings. On the other hand, the more or less absence of green over our mesas, the real pleasure eXperi- enced in growing trees amidst desert surroundings. and especially the add ed comforts resulting from the shade and diffused sunlight during our hot summer months, to say nothing of the benefits to the community at large. are more than sufficient to juTtify the necessary expenditure of time and money in the planting and growing of trees. The increasing demand in our territory for desirable ornamental trees and shrubs. and for information relating to their successful growth is perhaps the most convincing evidence in support of this statement.
 Successful Trees Commonly Planted.
 Excellent results ip the way of or namentation in southern Arizona be- low attitudes of three thousand feet have come from the planting of such trees as the native cottonwood. Ari- zoaa ash. red, weeping and Russian mulberries. umbrella, pepper. black locust. honey locust, (preferably the spineless variety). bagote, mesquite, paloverde. and Mexican elder; also from the less planted Mission olive, Japanese loquat, Washingtonia, Can ary and date palms, and the ever green poplar. Sterculia diversifolia,- many of which have been recommend ed in earlier publications of the Sta tion. Of the above list, the pepper, olive. loquat, bagote, evergreen poplar and for the most part the various palms are injured with more than about fifteen degrees of frost and. hence it is not advisable to plant them in localities as cold as the upper Gila valley. except in somewhat protected situations.
 The native cottonwood, only the staminate trees of which should be planted. is easily our largest and most rapidly growing tree. AS would be eX- pected it requires a larger amount of water for its growth than any other of our trees. The Arizona ash ranks next 10 the cottonwood in size. though it is decidedly a slower growing tree. The numerous fine specimens of the native ash on the University grounds are among the handsomest of our de- ciduos trees.
 Extremely Drought resistant Species.
 The honey locust, mesquite, bagOte,
