Three Great Societies End Year With
Deficit and One With Surplus.
New York, April 1S.-Four OF the
great missionary societies, three with
headquarters in this city, and one in
Boston. have Just closed their fiscal
year. Three of them end the year with
deficits while one, altho it has gain,
must credit the larger part of it to
legacies.
The Presbyterian board Of foreign
missions had receipts Of $1.5S9.o00 last
year. an advance of nearly$l50, 600 over
1910. but of this sum 100000 came
from legacies. The Presbyterian board

The Lords Plan For Soil Build
ing.

Did YOU ever think what is the
Lords plan for making land rich?
When a man has done his best to
''wear out" a piece of land what
does He do? Simply puts humus into
it. Starts it to growing weeds and
grasses and shrubs and trees and
putting a coating of rotting vegeta-
tion-humus-on the ground.
All of which works very we'll ul-
less there is some foolhardy man
around to set the trash afire ard
burn it up. Unless this does happen,
the land gets rich again more or less
rapidly and is soon fit for growing
paying crops once more.
Our whole point is that Natures
plan, the Lords plan, for Esoil'
building is to get humus into it
and man can find no better.
Are'you profiting by Natures
teachings or are you ignoring
