FIRST WITH THE NEW FALL FASHIONS

Something newer and bigger than any
thing ever ATTEMPTED in the newspaper
field is to be given to the public in the
Woman's Section of the Sunday North
american for September Goth. The man.
agement of the paper has undertaken to
give to its women readers the verylatest
of the styles in the European and Amer
,can fashion centers before the same
styles are shown in any of the fashion
publications of the country, and before
they are placed on sale by the stores IN
the big American cities.
In handling the task the paper has sue
ceeded beyond its hope, and the result OF
the lahors of the Paris and American
staffs of the paper will take the form OF a
special section of sixteen pages, inciud-
ing nearly 200 of the styles for fall and
winter shown in photographs and draw
ings.
The great Paris designers OF dresses
and millinery have given for publication
those creations which will not be seen by
the Paris public until they are given to
North american readers here. They have
virtually made The North american the
medium for the first showing OF their
new designs in this country.
The special number will bean example
of all that is most artistic in newspaper
printing.

Danger From surines

In the summer, when so many thou
sands drink from tempting springs in
the woods and on hillsides, warning
recently given by Mons. E. A. Martel,
the celebrated French explorer of cayerns,
should not go unnoticed. Contrary to a
widely-prevalent opinion, Monsieur Mar
tel says that springs OF apparently pure
water are, in many cases, merely the out
flow OF surface waters which have dis
appeared through fssures, carrying with
them pollution from the soil, and not
purified in their passage through the
rocks. He thinks that even chalk is not
an effectual filter for surface-water pass.

SIZE OF THE CROP
Estimates in the Peach Crop Were
Closely Made


With the ending of August the ship.
ment of peaches for the year 1908 practi.
ceased.
Much has been said and written as to
the decadence of the peach in Delaware
but the fact remains that generally, this
has been fine peach year, and peaches
are still grown with a greater degree Of
skill and attain fine color, shape and
favor.
There was no material decline in the
crop from that estimated two months ago
except in some sections of the peninsula,
where brown rot, prematuring and the
yellows got in their work after the esti-
mates were made and cut short the late
varieties. This also accounts for the
early closing OF the reason.
From Wyoming, the banner town of
the peninsula for peach shipments be-
cause Of its position in the very heart of
the peach belt, there were shipped the
greatest number of peaches.
1t will be remembered that the Pennsyl-
vania Railroads estimate for Wyoming
was $4,000 baskets. Wiseacres gasped
when they read this estimate of the rail-
road agents and declared that it was a
terrible exaggeration. The facts show
that, counting out the prematuring of the
late fruit and the loss from brown rot
which struck the fruit after it had enter
ed the ripening stage, and long after the
estimation was made, that taking all into
consideration it was remarkable guess.
Just 220 carloads Of peaches were ship.
ped from Wyoming station, containing
105, 600 baskets of fruit. To this must
be added the unknown number of peaches
shipped to individuals and firms by ex-
press and those which have been shipped
during the season along with other freight
and not in cars devote solely to peaches.
This would make at least 10000.

The Sunhower

In some countries, notably in the Rus
sian provinces north of the Caucasus, the
sunfower serves other purposes besides
ornamenting gardens with its huge gol
den bosses. The seeds are used to make
oil, which is employed both in the manu-
facture of soap and in cooking. The
stems and leaves are burned and the
ashes used to make potash. Last year
the sunfower factories of the Caucasus
produced $4,000 tons of potash.

"The word of the Lord came
expressly unto Ezekiel" It
is the specific word which
calls to the specific service.
Ezekiel must needs feel that
God was speaking to him, and
to him alone, before there could
be ears to hear the message, a
heart to understand its import,
and eyes to see the vision of
Gods power and glory. So,
with every servant of the King
Emanuel.
Gods Word for everybody, but
Gods Word potent to the &C.
compIishment of the work
whereunto he hath sent it only
as it comes expressly to the in
dividual heart.
Have you never been read
ing Gods Word, perhaps a pas
sage which you had read thou
sands of times before and had
found it ~bIessedIy helpful and
comforting, but now it stands
forth In letters of fire as though
traced there by the finger of
God for you in particular? 1t
was as though God had spoken
audibly, and the conviction was
deep upon you that Gods spe-
cific call had come to your soul.
This is the significance Of this
passage that "the word of the
Lord came expressly unto Eze-
KEEL"
1t Is one thing to hear or read
Gods Word, and it is another
thing to feel 1.-THE Sword of
the Spirit piercing to the very
center of the heart.
"The hand of the Lord was upon
him." This is a favorite ex-
preston of Ezekiel in speaking
of his enduement with power
for the work he was called upon
to perform. Vision, voice, touch.
Note that the three were essen
tial to full preparation for his
ministry. And is this not true
of every one who would engage
in Christian service? Vision of
God and his power; the voice of
God calling to service; the
hand of God touching, the thrill
of his power, like the electric
current passing to the great dy-
namo to enable it to perform it's
great task, might energize the
poor, weak, human arm of flesh
and make it as the arm of the
infinite.
Shine forth, o God, that we
may be transformed by behold
ing thy glory; speak, Lord, that
the soul may be quickened into
life and action for thee; touch
US, Lord, that the finite may find
contact with the infinite, and re-
ceive the inflow of thy power,
for without thee we can do moth
ing.

Ezekiel the Prophet. - Name means
God will strengthen" He was son of
Buzz a priest and himself was probably a
priest at Jerusalem prior to his captiv-
ity. Unlike Jeremiah he supplies but
scant details of his personal history. Ia
Ken captive in captivity of King Je-
hoiachin. IL years before final destruction
OF Jerusalem, he settled with other Jews
on banks of Chebar, supposedly about
200 miles north of Babylon. He dates his
call to the prophetic Office as sin the fifth
year of Jehoiachin's captivity" b. c. sS5.
From incidental allusion to personal his
tory in chapter PALS we learn he was
married, and had a house (S:D, in his
place OF exile, and lost his wife by sud
den and unforeseen stroke. He was con-
temporary with jeremiah and Daniel, the
primer long period of service of Al years
overlapping that of Ezekiel about seven
years, while the latter began his prophet
lc mission toward the close of Ezek1eis
ministry. Tradition, probably false, states
Ezekiel was killed at Babylon by a prince
of his people whom he had reproved for
idolatry.

THE STORY.

EZEKIEL was among the choice
L. young men whom King Nebuchad-
nezzar had seized upon his conquest
of Jerusalem and had taken back with
the others to Babylon. A son of Buzz.
a priest in the temple service at .Jeru-
salem, and a devout man who had
kept himself free from the corrupting
influences which had wrought such
awful havoc to the religious life of
the nation, he had had careful instruc-
ton in the word of God and had had
drilled into him from the earliest
years the awful sin of idolatry which
was eating the very heart out of the
nation.
And because his father had re-
lained steadfast to the service and
orship of the true God and would not
ten to the alluring words of the
npromising priesthood who sought
. remodel the worship of the r
God to conform to the idolatrous de-
sires and licentious practices of the
a%postate Jews, he and his family suf-
fered privations and prosecutions
without measure.
This had come not without it's rein
ing influence on the young life and
deepened his love for God and made
him eager to learn the truths of Gods
word from the lips of his father.
And as good fortune would have 1t,
it was his privilege to come in con
tact with the great prophet, Jeremiah,
for whom he had the %profoundest love
and admiration. He was eye-wit-
ness to the wicked opposition and
persecution which fell to the lot of the
prophet, and his young heart burned
within him in Indignation, and he
would find relief in earnest protest
to his father, urging him to take VIC
lent action in defense of the prophet.
And the father had quietly and sadly
replied:
NAY, nay, my son. These are apos-
tate days, and they who would serve
the living God must suffer persecu-
ton. We are in Gods hands. He
will deliver"
Such discipline and such teaching
could have but one of two results.
Either it would drive in fear and
doubt from God Or it would deepen
and strengthen one in loyalty and
faith toward God. And the latter
