Gems Cleaned From the Teachings of
All Denominations.

Gems GIeane0 from the IeacnIhSS OA
All Denominations.
1t depends on whether a man loves
the comfort of his family or his cups
to his family.-Rev. NJ. N. Preston,
Congregationalist, Chicago.
MEANING OF CONVERSION.
Conversion does not mean the devei-
opment of ones mind or an increase IN
culture. 1t does not mean reformation,
but recreation.-Rev. J. l.. Campbell,
Baptist, New York.
WIN MEN TO CHRIST.
We should do all we can to win men
to Christ for the transformation Chris
tianity would bring to the world, civic
and Dolitical-Rev. G. B. Vosburgh,
Episcopalian, Denver.
WORLDS NEED OF THE CHURCH.
The world greatly needs the church.
and it will need the church until all
tears have been wiped away, all sins
conquered, all sorrows comforted.-
Rev. A. Eugene Bartlett. Universalist,
Chicago.
GREATEST OF BOOKS.
The Bible is still the greatest book
of religion that we possess. The work
of our great scholars, as our own ex-
periences. is making this more appar-
ent continually.-Rev. c. K. Jones,
Unitarian, Los Angeles.
The true home is a type of heaven.
Home is the dearest, sweetest word we
know. Around the hearth cluster the
tenderest. most uplifting and purifying
words in our OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Charles Herbert Young, Episcopalian.
Woodlawn. Ill.
AN ACTIVE FACTOR
Fellowship is born of labor. The
desire and ability to work. to become
an active factor in the worlds onward
sweep. is to do one of the commands
of God and measurably win in the
royal battle of Alffe.-Rev. T. E. Pot
terton, Episcopalian, Brooklyn.
HOME THE GERM OF THE
CHURCH.
The church began in the home,
which is, the first Of all human institu-
tons. The family55is the source of sup

THE PRESENT RELIGION.
The only religion worth a fig is the
religion that faces the present with
rnessag of warning to the sinner
and a prophecy of hope to the peni-
tent. The plea of the present is worth
more to US than the pyrotechnics of
the patriotic past-Rev. NJ E. Har-
Ian, Disciple. Brooklyn.

less that life is loveless. A life that

Baptist, Brooklyn
ETERNITY.
The way to strip for eternity is not
to prepare to die,l but to live; not to
prepare to meet God as though he
were approached from a distance, but
to find him in ones soul. What we
need is not freedom from the body, but
freedom from that limitation of which
the body is a symbol.-Rev. B. F.
Mills, Independent, Los Angeles.
BLESSEDNESS IS SOUL MOOD.
Blessedness is a mood of the soul
and does not at all depend upon envi-
rohment. You may be sick. hungry,
poorly clothed and in garnet and still
be blessed. Happiness is a pleasant
feeling produced by outside conditions.

About the Short Course.

To THE EDIToR:-ln the issue
of Dec 20th. an advance notice of
the Horticultural Short Course to
be held in Hotohkiss appeared.
For the benefit of those who may
not be acquainted with the facts.
the Executive Committee of the
localHortieultural Society deems
it proper to make brief state
ment in your columns.
The Short Course at Delta a
year ago was attended by num-
Der of representatives from Pa
onia. AT that time the possibil-
ity of holding a similar institute
Al Paonia was discussed with var
ious members of the staff of in
structors, who gave the Paonia
delegation to understand that
another year the Short Course
could be brought to Paonia, il
necessary by dividing the time OF
the instructors between the two
towns and holding the institutes
at the same time.
When the. parties interested in
the Delta Short Course began
their advertising campaign the
local committee communicated
with one of the staff at Fort Col
Inns to ascertain what progress
had been made toward accomo-
dating the Paonia growers. The
following extract from his letter
in answer gave the first notice to
the local committee of the pres
cnt arrangement:

After several conferences. the
committee again wrote requesting
consideration of the plan
The letter explained fully that
our desire to have the Course at
Paonia was not inspired by any
spirit of antagonism to the inter
ests of Hotchkiss growers, but
that we felt that Paonia had done
as much as any other section for
the advancement of Horticulture
within the County by organizing
its growers aud assisting in the
support of the Field Horticulture
ist. and therefore the Paonia
growers felt that they were en-
titled to some consideration We
proposed the plan originally sug
gested. that of holding an ipsti-
tute at Paonia in conjunction with
one of the other courses by di-
viding the time OF the professors
in charge
This letter was supported by a
number of additional letters from
prominent growers. shippers and
business men, and every effort is
being made to secure the Short
Course for Paonia.
This explanation of the posi-
tion of our committee is due to
those members who have been an
ticipating the privilege of attend
ing the course in Paonia, and to
all others whom the institute
might benefit. We believe an ar
rangement can be made to hold
an institute at Paonia during the
week of the Hotchkiss Short
Course and shall spare no effort
to secure it
