Whitwell, Tenn

Dear Editor: | noticed in last
week News there was a letter from
Tolbert, Texas, written by Mr.. Hack
worth, who says that he wants to rivit
on our minds that there is not single
sentence in the Bible direct to the nat
ural man. Now, | suppose that he
means the sinner when he says the nat
ural man. He also says something
about the preacher rightly dividing the
word of truth. | would like to know
what use there is of dividing the word
of truth when there is not a single
sentence to the natural man. 1t all
must be to the spiritual man, and if
so, there is no division to be made.
There is no use of the sinner going to
church, for there is not single SEN
tence in the Bible for him, if Mr.
Hackworth is right. Christ said he
came into the world not to call the
righteous, but sinners to repentance.
1t seems to me that this is a sentence
/ for the sinner. God says: Look to
me all We ends of the earth and be We
| saved Here is another sentence.
/ The last talk that Christ had with his
disciples he told them to go into all
the world and preach the gospel to ev-
cry creature and he that believeth and
is baptised shall be saved and he that
believeth not shall be damned. "
Isn't this entirely to the sinner Be
sides | could point you to numbers Of
other scriptures that are direct to the
sinner Mr.. HackwOrth according tt
the way he writes, would have us be
lieve that all that ever will be saved
were saved away back in the ancien
chambers of eternity, and of course
all that will be lost were lost bacl
there, and if this be so, why SHOULD
Christ come into the world thousand
of years after the world was made ant
die for the sins of the whole world
when their destiny was sealed in eter
nifty before the world was made.
Now, my advice to all people every
where, whether they be christians o
sinners, is to read their Bible an,
don't fear but what you will find man,
sentences pointing directly at everyon
that reads it for information, an
when you find preacher who says h
= is called TO preach only to the churc
and not to sinners, he is not th
preacher you want to hear. You wan
to hear the preacher that was sent
preach a free salvation to all tn
4 world. VIM. HAMIC.

cradle part, however, has been
changed by the processes of weather
ing from the original form to a Sec
ondary condition. A large part Of the
first class is not soluble In even hot

by ~weathering are soluble in such
acids. Some OF this weathered ma
terial has been further transformed
into material soluble in water and, in

a Large or small amount Of matter de-
rived from vegetation in various
stages OF decomposition. Part of this
is still in such a condition that the
tissues and fibers of plants can be
recognized. while another part has
completely lost its form and structure,
and has changed into a black, wax
like substance which forms a coating
around soil grains. This latter ma
terial is called humus, while the for.
mer is simply undecomposed vegetable

of these elements does not exist in

illustration of this fact was found in
the soil of a field in north-central Wis

were filled with a black marsh soil
from a field In the university farm on

poor growth. In this case II can be
seen that the single element, potas-

quantities in the right form for crops
In the portion of the field from which

ical analysis showed that the entire
amount OF potash in the soil Of an
acre, to a depth of n foot, amounts
to $500 pounds while 60 pounds Of
potash (K2 o. per acre applied in an
available form will allow the soil to
produce an excellent crop. Many more
instances Of this kind might be cited
where the soil contains large amounts
Of the essential elements, but one or
more Of them are not in the right
form for absorption by the plant, as
shown by the failure Of the crops to
make good growth unless the soil Is
fortified with these elements in an
available form.
1t Is probable that most of the ma
terial in the soil, in order TO be avail
able to crops, must be soluble In

WORK TREATMENT IN DISEASE.
Especially Successful With the Mental.
iy Affected.

Some interesting experiments con
Quoted at the State Institution at
Mauer Oehling have completely demon.
strated the great value of work at a
means of healing in various forms OF
chronic illness, especially In mental
and nervous disorders, alcoholism and
epilepsy.
Under the supervision OF DR.. Star.
iinger. the chief OF the institution, no
less than 81 per cen of the patients
are engaged in some kind OF occupa-
ton. The majority are employed in
farm. dairy and garden work. while
others turn their attention TO mechan-
teal trades, including the production
Of q newspaper, which is printed and
also largely written by the inmates.
II has been found that the mentally
affected and those suffering from al.
coholism make the most willing and
efficient workers. Work has a quiet
ing influence and renders the patients
much more satisfied.
The favorable effect on their physi-
cal condition Is shown from the fact
that the number OF deaths from tuber.
culosis have steadily decreased since
the introduction of the work treat
ment, although the number Of patients
has constantly increased.
One other good effect Of the work
treatment Is that the general public
IL found to lose much of its dread Of
asylums when 1t sees the patients en-
gagged in some useful occupation.

SCULPTOR AT WORK IN JAIL.
Accused Of Wife Murder, He Models
Royal Group for the Government.


The Italian sculptor, y. Cisariello,
who has been in prison at Naples for
the last eighteen months, has recently
been allowed to practice his art in the
prison. The idea was suggested to
him by a postal card SEM to him by
IA friend. with a portrait Of the crown
prince of Italy on 1t.
He sketched a group showing the
king and queen and the boy and made
application for modelling clay and tools
and for permission to have a child
of three years to visit him daily 30
serve as a model for Prince Humbert.
The tools and clay were furnished,
but the child model was refused.
Cisariello went on with the work
and he has just finished it. Fellow
prisoners occasionally posed for the
adult figures, but he had no material
for the child except the postal card.
Notwithstanding this, the work is
sail to have merit. The government
has ordered the model to be cast In
bronze and the finished work is to be
set up in front of the prison.
Cisariello's trial is expected to be-
gin next month.
