Then shall we grapple with ther, fearlessly and discharge them faithfully. Then shall we not rest content with merely knowing our du- ties as Christian citizens. We will so far beyond that, for we will act upon our knowledge by conveying and ap- plying 1t to conduct. We shall real ize our first duty Is not to our party, but to principle, realize that belong ing to 8 party does not mean being owned by the party body and soul and voted like dumb driven cattle."

 If religion is real to us it becomes woven into the moral and spiritual dbres of our being. It enters into every act of lie, not always conscions- ly. but always truly. Hence our duties as Christian citizens are really re1ig- fous duties and the ballot Is a sacred thing. Indeed, we may look upon 1t as . sort of civic sacrament. We must answer to God for the way we use n just as We must answer to Him for the way we use any other privilege. When. for instance. we vote for bad men or bad measures, knowing them to be bad. we are guilty of sin as truly as If we should lie or steal, and almost certain ly injuring the community a great deal more And we shall answer for 1t hereafter at the Judgment seat of the Most High.

THIS place Is shown. not as an exam
pie of finished. and good garden,
but merely an example of the
growth that can be obtained by wise selec-
ton of plants and by sensible and efficient
preparation of the soil and careful planting.
The owners of the place took poss Ssion of
1t in March of one year. Just as ii WAS left
by the builders. This photograph was taken
in September of the year following. less
than two years. The real garden, to be
made by elimination and replanting. is still
to come.
The plants that form the shrubbery at the
extreme end beyond the front stoop are the
nursery plants" from which the real gar
den of this place is still to be made. There
was a place Il feet wide at this end of the
property full of the discouraging looking
soil that Is left after brickayers, carpen-
tiers and plasterers are done with a new
house. This patch was well forked and
raked. thoroughly enriched by buryng in
it grass cuttings, straw and very old ma
nure and then used to set in it young shrubs
Towering peaches, almonds, ounces and
crab-apple magnolas cut-leaf NAPLES and
similar hardy plants.
The object of thus planting these was
