his fruit up to that date. The books
should be kept in such a manner that
any fruit grower, a. any time, can

and ascertain without delay the num-
Der of boxes OF each variety Of fruit
which he had delivered to the asso-
citation with the dates of delivery,
the number Of boxes Of his fruit that
has been sold or shipped cut by the
association, when it was sold or
shipped. to whom, and the amount
received for it.
One of the difficulties encountered
at the beginning Of business the pres
ent season was The fact that very
few growers advised the manage
ment of the association as to whether
they were going to ship their fruit
through the association or not, al
though they We're appealed TO several
times to give such information to-
gether with the varieties and guam
titles of fruit to be shipped This
did not allow the management to
determine upon the best PLAZA for
handling the fruit nor of systematic
ing the bookkeeping department in
The proper way. 1t also operated
against the sale of the summer fruit,
as it was impossible to contract
fruit for delivery if there could be
no certainty of its being obtained
from The growers.
With the experience of the past
season there will be no difficulty in
the bookkeeping so systematized and
managed, that it will give all the
results outlin d above.

Negroes for Example.

Among the colored people of the South such
phvsical undoing can still be seen. Here Is
the religion of the African tribe transplanted
to our own land. On this African religion was
grated the superstitious side of popular CHRIS

control is a sure mark Of religion among
them They become easily unbalanced. They
collapse. Frenzy and commissions are not I'M
common Sometimes they give holy dance
around the pulpit the communion table
When they reach a certain point or frenzy
and exhaustion they drop out. This is good
sign.
In the Kentucky revival Of 1900 they talked
about the slain The floor of the church ana
camp ground were covered with helpless VIC
Tins Such was the poverty Of their life that
they went for miles to any kind of excitement
Whole villages were deserted. Here was TO
be seen the most pitiable condition OF physi-
cal and mental unbalance. Around the camp

into terror and they fell like men slain In

Here the doctrine of the atonement is brought
in. 1t is the imaginary cure brought in to
cure those who have been made to think they
are sick Then there is a psychological
ment when these effects are cumulative and
the decision is made, not only that one has
the imaginary sickness but that he accepts
the cure offered. At this Psychological
ment different methods are used. Sometimes
quiet is most Notwithstanding is said. 1t
makes great difference who it is. In the
south the speaker says, Mesopotama, very
dramatically and the effect is produced.
Sometimes it is Jesus saves" some such
conventional expression. Then in the eXper-
fence of those in the first flush of being saved
one notes again the law of suggestion Drawn
out by the speaker it is soon evident that they
all have had just the same feelings. Each one
was the worst sinner and the whole process
is described in a few stock phrases.

find it really seriously held that there is
some real connection between this power of
speaker and the christian religion. 1t is said
that to have such power shows the message
Divine. This same power in the world
and used centuries before Christianity. Nor
monsm had its great revivals. You can have
them i'm any religion, without regard to its
genuineness If a speaker has the power he
could secure the same results without
gard to the historical character used. One
with this power could take the pathetic case
of Socrates. He could describe his stand for
truth. Then he could tell of his being con-
demned and of that last talk when Socrates
discoursed nobly immortality. Then he
could tell how he drank the hemlock and went
to death without the shadow of IA doubt. Then
the speaker could at a certain point call for
disciples who would be glad to follow this mar
tyr for the truth. Socrates is not the fashion
in religion, but his life could be used just as
effectively Whether you say. "Buddha saves
or Mohammed saves" or socrates saves,
or Jesus saves makes vital difference.
These expressions the doctrines held by the
speaker have nothing to do with producing the
phenomenon. The lawyer uses this same kind
of power with n jury. His power with the
jury does not depend on whether he is high
churchman an atheist.
Everyone is interested in making people
good But one could get up any spec
iaI excitement in just trying to make people
good REVEALS have been dramatic because
the purpose was the thrilling work Of saving
souls If that work real and could be
done, revivals would be a thousand times
more dramatic than the stage. Then the
revivalist would be like fireman directing
people out of a burning building before IL
plunged into the basement We would all
stand in breathless admiration while he saved
them from such n fate. That is what the re-
vivalist in every community once stood for.
God owned the building, set it on fire and
put the people I'm It to room. This was gen.
orally believed strange IT may seem. What
made the changes? What made this fireman

Sermon Delivered by a Unitarian Preacher In
Far Off Montana.
(By Rev. John Malick)


Every demonstration of religion has been
examined recently by critical, honest people
These results are Illuminating TO pure re-
ligion that does justly and loves mercy. In
deed no field of thought needs the corrective
of the unbiased mind OF the scientist more
than religion The scientist deals with things
as they are. Truth alone is sacred to him.
The priest or the prophets field are no nearer
the God of the universe than is the scientists
The history of some centuries is this: that
the scientist has been nearer the truth than
the church or the clergy. For this reason
one would rather have hundred men picked
from religious bodies pass judgment upon IT,
Let us keep in mind that the scientist has just
as Divine a right to examine religions claims
of reality as religion has to doubt the sci
entists' claims of truth.
one of the primitive traits In our nature
decreasing with evolution, is physical IN
