as an important factor in the
welfare of the country. So it is
in all other lines of business
and employment. The lawyer,
the physician and all the pro-
fessions have not only enlisted
men of talent, but of high ideals
of life and who believe i'm Civ
ing the world something as we'll
as taking from it. The young
man should remember when he
enters business that he is not
merely acting or living for him
self; that he must give as well
as receive; that ne must pro-
duce as we'll as collect. The
of business, the at
fractions of political prestige
and power should never reduce
the relations between the good
citizen and his duty 10 himself,
his country and his God.

UINE WHITE OAK

Washington, ID. c., July 29.-
10 viii surprise most persons
who know something about oak
to be told that the socalled
white oak timber Of our mark
cts is often a mixture. not only
OF various species of the white
oak group. hut also Of other
species, such as the red oak.
This generally unknown fact is
reported 10y the United States
Department Of Agriculture.
which, as a part Of its forestry
work, is frequently called upon
20 pass judgment upon the iden-
tity Of market woods i'm dispute.
FOresters divide all the oaks
into two distinct groups-.the
white oak group and the black
oak group. One way Of distin-
gushing the two is by the fact
that the black oaks require two
years 20 mature their acrOns,
while the white oaks take but
one. The woods Of the two
groups of oaks are also struc-
turally different. The true white
oak, known TO hotanists as
Quercus alba, is merely one Of
the species which make up the
white oak group. Red oak, on
the other hand, belongs 10 the
black oak group Red oak has
"a number of other common
names, among them mountain
oak, black oak, and Spanish
oak.
There is so much confusion in
the ordinary use of names Of
the oaks that it is almost i'm
possible TO keep them straight
without resOrting TO the scien-
tIiic names, but the marketing
OF wood OF the black oak group
as white oak IL hardly fair 10
the consumer. Red oak, for
instance, Is. now much more
abundant than white oak,
grows faster, and Is generally
regarded as inferior. The. two
species often grow together and
occupy the same general region.
Ia the early days Of its abund =
ance, market white oak was
derived almost entirely, il is
safe 10 say, from Quercus alba,
the true white oak. This spe-
cies combines approximately
the utmost strength and tough
ness of any of the timber oaks,
excepting. possibly, the south
ern live oak, which, in the col
onial days, YVES so highly priced
for shipbuilding that it was
protected by special laws. The
immense inrOads made upon the
then apparently inexhaustible
white oak forests, which stretch
ed from the Atlantic seab0ard
10 about Missouri, gradually SO
reduced the supply that the use
of other species became ineYi'
table.
At the present time il is al.
most impossible 10 obtain q

II Jesus should come to His tempSo
today would there be any sights to dis
please him? What would He see in Phil
adelphia churches? In her homes? In
the hearts? A man in Philadelphia last
year heard some such questions as this
in a sermon. The first thing he did when
he went home was to take a trip through
all the rooms in the house. carefully ex-
aiming everything to see IL Christ could
find fault with IL. AS a result several
pictures were taken from the walls.
Jesus is asking every one to scrutinize
his life in the same way.
The same question was heard by .
company OF church workers, who had
been initiating those who desecrated the
temple in Jesus day. Desiring 10 raise
money for some necessary expenses. they
had considered various plans. Finally IL
was decided to have a bazaar every aft
ernoon and evening for a week. As IL
was to be held in the church building. the
prayer meeting was crowded out. Booths
lined the walls. All sorts OF things were
sold, useful and useless alike. Some OF
the young men made buffoons OF them
selves-for pay. Hymns to Gods praise
were displaced by the clink and rattle
OF coins. With difficulty some OF tue
strained themselves until the week drew
to a close. Then they rose In righteous
wrath, and not only drove out the bazaar.
but managed to have IL decreed that
never again should the church building
in which they worshiped God be used
rs a house OF merchandise.
