cally an itincrant well-doer for the
Jews and Judaism. His recent ad-
dress before the Cambridge University
on-Conformist Union was, as usual.
IA masterpiece of composition, diction
and originality. He started out by
defining prejudice-and especially
the prejudice against the Jew-and
then discoursed on several points
bearing on the relation of Judaism
and Christianity, going into detail,
and explaining the several matters
i'm such convincing manner as to
leave no doubt as to their respective
intentions. This is not the first time
that the Rev. Green has gone before
a Christian audience to vindicatc the
Jew and Judaism. He has performed
this task many times before, and in
deed such lectures and cXpositions by
modern Jews before Christian audi
ences, and even Christian clergymen,
is most necessary, owing to the large
amount of ignorance displayed in re-
gard to the Jew and his religion.

for governor, and is elected. he will
doubtlessly prove vigorous law-en-
forcer. From what we have read, we
believe that the judge actually takes
the physical and natural view of the
situation, and is not actuated by re-
ligious bigotry and fanaticism. The
need of weekday rest should appeal
to the moral and social consciousness
of every self-respecting man and
woman. We trust that in all his fu-
ture efforts he will not change his
opinions and permit himself to be run
by narrow churchmen who demand
Sunday and no other day. We hope
that the judge will respect conviction
and principle and not crusade against
those who cOnscientiously and truly
observe the seventh day as the Sab

Tho M;ssinn A Christian minister
of Jesus has taken occasion to
tell his audience the mission of Jesus.
He was emphatic in his statement that
Jesus did not intend to sweep away
the Jewish religion. but only to save
it from being submerged in all man
ner of incidental form and ceremony,
to spread the idea and the Importance
of the spiritual over the material. In
this he has spoken well. The form
must not be everything. "Religion
consists not in display SO far, we
may all go with him. We men and
women will have to sweep away or
give secondary place to the inciden

which has been observed for a num-
Der of years, this pamphlet has been
prepared and 1t is sent hoping it will
be of assistance to you in arousing
interest on the part of parent and
pupils in the birds and trees; an In
terest that, will result in the better
protection of bird life, and marked
improvement in the surroundings of
home and school.
Arbor Day is naturally children's
day and the lessons of the day should
be but the beginning of the work
for the entire year. Do not forget
that Arbor Day is also Bird Day. The
children ought to know every kind of
bird in the vicinity and the trees in
the school yard should be the homes
of some of them. The study of bird
life and plant life must be based
upon actual conditions to produce the
desired results. One practical OBJ
ject of our nature work will natural
ly be the Identification of our school
grounds and for the sake of the
children let every school house "im-
age Gods beauty of field and forest"
for the surroundings are more pot
ent than we think.
With most cordial good wishes for
a pleasant Arbor Day and for con-
tinued happy and effective work in
the educational field, remain,

To the School Children of the United
States:
Arbor Day (which means simply
Tree Day") is now observed in
every state In our Union-and main
ly in the schools. At various times
from January to December, but chief
ly in this month of April, you give a
day or part of day to special exer-
cises and perhaps the actual tree
planting, In recognition of the i'm
portance Of trees to us as Nation,
and of what they yield in adorn-
ment, comfort, and useful products
to the communities in which you
live.
1t is well that you should cele-
brate your Arbor Day thoughtfully,
for within your lifetime the Nations
need Of trees will become serious.
We Of an older generation can get
along with what we have, though
with growing hardship; but In your
manhood and woman hood you will
want what nature once SO bounti-
fully supplied and man so thought
lessly destroyed; and because of that
want you will reproach US, not for
what we have used, but for what we
have wasted.
For the nation as for the man or
woman and the boy or girl. the road
to success is the right use Of what
we have and the Improvement of
present opportunity. II you neglect
to prepare yourselves now for the du-
ties and responsibilities wnica will
fail upon you later. II you do not
learn the things which yon will need
to know when your school days are
over, you will suffer the conse-
quences. So any nation which in its
youth lives only for the day, reaps
without sowing, and consumes with
out outstanding, must expect the pen
atty OF the prodigal whose labor
could with difficulty find him the
bare means of life.
A people without children would
face a hopeless future; a country
without trees is almost as hopeless;
forests which are SO used that they
can not renew themselves viii soon
vanish. and with them all their bene-
ats. A true forest II not merely . |

HISTORY OF ARBOR DAY.

The old Swiss chronicle relates
that away back in the fifth century
the people of a little Swiss village
by the name of Brugg determined
to secure forest of oak trees on the
common. More than a dozen sacks
Of acorns were sown and after the
work was done each participant re-
ceived a wheaton roll as a reward
for his labors. For some reason I'M
explained the acorns refused to grow.
The people, however, were determin-
ed to have an oak grove, so a day
was appointed and the entire COM
munity, men, women and children
marched to the woods, where each
very carefully dug up sapling and
transported 1t to the common, where
a competent gardener superintended
it's planting. At the close of the tree
planting each boy and girl was pre-
sented with a roll and in the evening
the grown people had merry feast
and frolic at the town hall. The
saplings were well watered and cared
for by details of citizens under direc-
tion of the gardener, the work being
voluntarily done, but every one was
expected to do his share In the
course of years fine grove was the
result, which furnished a place OF
shade, rest and recreation for the
citizens and their descendants. For
years the anniversary of this tree
planting was observed by the people
of this town with appropriate exer-
cises, among them being parade Of
the children carrying oak leaves and
branches, at the close of which rolls
and other eatables were distributed |
in commemoration of the event. 1t |
is said similar festival still exists in |
this and other villages of Switzer-
land. "A
The rapid destruction of the for
ests in our country called attention |
of students Of forestry to the dan
gers which confronted us and
brought forth numerous publica-
tons on the topic of forest preserva-
ton. 1t devolved, however, upon
'Treeless Nebraska" to institute sys-
tematic tree planting on given day
through the organized efforts of the
schools and citizens. The Hon. J.
Sterling Morton is generally credit
I'd with originating the idea. In
1879, acting upon his suggestion, the
governor of the state issued proc
amation designating Arbor Day and
Lsking that the schools and citizens
observe the day by appro-
'riate exercises and tree planting.
The setting April sun saw over a
million trees planted in Nebraska
oil as a result of the first Arbor Day
celebration. In 1885, Arbor Day,
april 22d, Morton's birthday, was
made a legal holiday In Nebraska.
The originator of the idea lived ,
ong enough to see Arbor Day adopt
d in more than forty states and ter
tories, to record millions and mil
ions of trees added, to note thous- s
nds of school houses change cheer
ess surroundings for those of COM I
ort and beauty and to feel that in
the planting of trees he s
ad been an active factor in foster t
az a love for the school, the home
nd our country.-Illinois Arbor and &
