OooN' now SHINING IRON
the Word of God-disclosing to us the
fact that much that came down to us
from the Dark Ages is contrary to the
Bible as well as TO reason. Many or
the protested teachers of the church
are heartily opposed to Bible study,
although their opposition is advanced
as cautiously as possible 'for fear Of
the people"
A Famine For the Word Of God
Scriptural truth is a scarce commo-
dity at the present time-the world is
full of error and sin and unrighteous-
ness. The Lords disciples must so
love truth and righteousness as TO hun
ger and thirst for it. To such spiritual
food will be granted. Truth will be
dispensed to them as meat In due
season."
The Scriptures from first to last give
us TO understand that Gods Word Is
to shine more and more brightly down
to the very end Of this Gospel Age.
st. Peter declares II to be "the more
sure Word of prophecy, to which we
do well that we take heed. as to
light shining in dark place until the
Day dawn and the Day Star arise In
your hearts" III Peter l. 19).
The Bishop OF London opposed the
Tyndale translation because the prac-
tees of the time were not In harmony
with the Scriptures. Similarly. today.
there are doctrines. traditions, creeds
from the Dark Ages still reverenced,
and which better understanding of
the Bible would correct and put to
shame Hence the opposition to the
better understanding of Gods Word.
Nevertheless. the Word OF God shall
stand forever. and the spirit Of the
truth shall make free all the children
OF the truth.
Truth crushed to earth shall rise again.

Premium List.
One of the next big tasks to be
taken up is the preparation of the
annual premium list. This requires
first a determination of how much can
be spent in each departAent. and il is
not simple matter to satisfy the
various supervisors and superintend-
ents who are all working to advance
the opportunities for their exhibitors
After this comes the classification of

Ing exhibits. The 1911 list has been
greatly enlarged, and in some Of the
departments the premium awards
have been increased 20 per cent for
the benefit of exhibitors
This work is done by the superin-

in conjunction with the manager. and
months OF work on the details are re-
quired before the copy is ready for

time or the year when the crops
have been garnered and the mind and
body is ready for rest and recreation
A state fair would not be worthy
of support if it did not keep the edu-
cational feature ever in mind. In the
case of the Michigan State Fair and
Exposition this has always been done
If there was nothing more done than
to make big display, to set off one
herd against another and to see which
individual exhibitor could collect the
largest number of ribbons, to match
implements or vehicles, TO test the
speed of well-bred horses-if this was
the aim and the end, then it might
well be questioned whether II is all
worth while. But in truth there are
thousands of Michigan people, not
from the farms alone, but from shops
and storerooms. who attend the great
Michigan fair with eyes and ears wide
open, and they find the experience
vastly profitable to them. 1t is, in
deed. their summer school. They
make good use of the opportunity it
affords, and they regard it more high
~ the cftner they attend.
The result is better homes, better
farming, more industry, greater pros
perity. increased happiness. larger
herds. finer machinery. more money in
the banks. All this leads to better
home-making.
Great Livestock Show.
First and above all else the Michi-
gan State Fair is a great agricultural
and horticultural and livestock show.
That is the real foundation for the
fair. 1t is in the great herds which
cover Michigan that we are beginning
TO find the greatest profit, indeed
without them there would no longer
be much profit in Michigan agricu-
ture. Tile Michigan farmers are
striving for Improvement in livestock.
They have opportunity at the State
Fair to see the very best Of all the
breeds. They come and compare
notes They make a study of horses,
cattle, sheep, swine and poultry. They
learn of the new things. They ask
about actual results. The premium Of
fers for livestock bring the best of
everything 10 Michigan. A million
dollars worth OF livestock forms the
basis for a real educational exhibit.
Next in Importance to the livestock
is unquestionably the machinery and
implement exhibit. In this Michigan
has one of the greatest fairs in the
world. The vehicle exhibit at Mich
igan is always good This year the
automobile makers will all be on hand
with larger exhibit than ever in new

holidays arrive. These bags have
every claim to popularity and are

them are made on the model of an en-

WRITES OF THE
A. W. [. SUCCESS
Interesting Letter Written By Pearl
Adams Spaulding Regarding the
American Woman's League.

The Graphic publishes by request
the following open letter to the
American Woman's League of the
South:
To my Beloved League Sisters
in the Sunny South Land:
Another week had rolled around
with it's heavy burden of responsible
lily resolute1y faced; but the hours
had been long, the demand upon
heart and brain unremitting. My
desk was still piled high with un-
answered letters, and almd st every
one was prayer for larger op-
portunity From every part of this
great country they had come-and oh!
how brave they were, how full OF
loyalty and confidence!
AS I sat in the gathering twilight
alone in the hall of the great build
ing which has seen the birth OF so
many glorious ideas, my thoughts
went out to the women of the
League, and I said Twill they ever
know how much I love them. Will
they ever know how the thought of
them and their needs is my continued
inspiration?" Just then a belated
messenger came up the stairs and
handed me small box, and again l
was left alone. I idly opened the
package thinking it might contain
important papers-and there lay
three little punches Of violets, still
dewey and fragrant with a card
which read "From the Stuttgart
Chapter" and I exclaimed Oh yes
they do know they do know
Brave gallant little Stuttgart typ1'

SONS pressed against my face fell
dreaming Of the great South Lane
as I had last seen it. Again I saw
the great pine woods, dotted here ane
there with lakes as blue as the sky
the weird swamps; the long stretches
of barren sand; the shining rivers
with their floating water lilies, the
banks lined with orange and magno
liza trees; the splendid dive oaks
draped with the clinging gray moss
heard a hooking bird singing hi:
evening love song; and then I wa:
