DR.. FRILEY'S SERMONS.

DR.. Friley preached two strong SER
mons in the Baptist church Sunday
AT the morning service his subject
was from the book of Revelation:
BE thou faithful unto death and |
will give thee crown of life" This
discourse was addressed primarily to
christians. Fidelity in all the duties
and responsibilities of the christian
calling was urged and each point was
Illustrated with interesting and i'm
pressive examples drawn from his
tory or literature. The text for the
night sermon was the words of Jesus
to the young man who claimed that
he had kept the commandments:
yet one thing lackest thou" BY ir-
refragible arguments and forclble it,
Illustrations it was shown that Jesus
requires a complete and uncondition-
al surrender of self and all that one
possesses to Gods service. Both ser

Torrance, which was under fire de-

THE plot of this play is laid in Eng

falls in love with the daughter of
his fathers lodge keeper, and who is
himself loved by an aristocratic So
ciety girl. In the first act the young
lord marries the peasant girl against
the wishes of his father and in the
following act she appears as the

One of these was the plant sometimes

potatoes, and the French Canadians
knew them as pommes de terre, and
our potato, being native Of South
America, was scarcely likely to be
known to the Indians of Virginia.
Yet the potato was undoubtedly
introduced in England as part Of the

NEW Log SAVING DEVICE.

facilitate the saving Of the log. The
details of this attachment are shown,
Says the Scientific American: 1.-THE at.
tachment consists of a clamp adapted
to be secured to the handle (A) of an
ordinary AK. The clamp comprises
two jaws OBJ, through which bolt is
passed. The upper end of this bolt
terminates In a support. The support
consists of two parallel arms, between
which roller (O) is mounted to rotate.
The bolt which passes through the
jaws of the clamp is fitted with wing
nut, and by turning this nut the jaws
may be pressed together on the handle
of the ak. In use the AK Is driven into
the log, and the clamp Is then made
fast with the support, standing YER
tically. The saw is then guided be-
tween the arms OF the support, and
the back of the saw rests on the roller.
With the saw thus supported and
guided, it may be operated In the
usual manner to saw through the log,
The roller may be mounted near the
outer end of the support or close to the
jaws. In the former case the saw will
operate between the roller and the
jaws, and the support must be mount
ed to project downward. In order to
permit of removing the saw from the
support 1t is preferable to support the
saw on the outer side of the roller,
guiding 1t In the open slot formed by
the two arms of the support. The
clamp is then applied, with the support
projecting upward instead of down
ward" This useful attachment for
saving logs has been patented by Mr..
Levi Smith of Marshfield. Coos coun-
ty, Ore.

PRESERVATION OF FORESTS.
The Old Bay State Is Now Taking the
Initiative.

The Old Bay State Is Now Taking the
Initiative.
The preservation of the forests is a
problem second to none in present i'm
portance and In its outlook toward the
future. without trees our country
would be a desert and the rapid dem
udation of our New England hills is
already beginning to have its effect
upon our streams and rivers and upon
our water supply. The invention Of
wood pulp paper and the rapid extern
sion Of the industry throughout the
country, together with the increase OF
newspaper circulation, have stimulated
the destruction Of the forests to such
a degree that steps are already being
taken to preserve them before It Is too
late.
Congress has attempted to take a
hand in the matter. but so far with
little avail, and 1t now remains for the
individual states affected to see what
they can do. The first step would seem
to be the development of paper making
from some rapidly growing and an
nually feappearing substance, such as
cornstalk fiber, instead Of from the
slowly rising tree which cannot be re-
placed except after years of renewal
and growth.
AS was to be expected, Massachu-
sets is taking the initiative. To the
governors of the other FIVE New Eng
land states Governor Guild has sent
out a request for a conference, and 1t
viii be held at the Algonquin club
in Boston on the 14th of September.
The six governors will then confer and
deliberate over the best means to be
taken for the preservation of our for
ests, and 1t is probable that arrange
ments viii be made for the calling of
a New England business conference at
some time Immediately following the
presidential election. If 1t should be
held, says Governor Guild In his letter,
II should come at that time Gin order
| that its work might not be confused
with the politics of the presidential
campaign" One of the especial OBJ
