HE shall bruise thy head, and thou
shalt bruise his heel. Gen. 315,
Rev. Yer.
In terms of tragedy we get this
very first revelation OF the Saviour TO
come. And all the beauty and bene-
ficence, all the reverent aed roman
tic sentiment that sheds its Softened
light on the season of the Advent,
must not make us forget this tragic
element in Jesus life.
1t was for the tragedy foreshadow-
ed in this first recorded prophecy of
Messiah, that Jesus came into the
world. 1t was His specially, so 10
speak. The time of ii was "His
hour" Hostile hands were held
back from touching Him because,
His hour was NOT yet come"
When il did arrive, its tragic terror
lay heavy on His soul, and He cried,
as any human might have cried,
Father, save me from this hour"
Yet He Immediately added what is
specially in point here, shut for this
cause came | unto this hour" Here
He is facing the dread fact foretold
in this Genesis text. And all the
way between this primitive prophecy
and its fulfilling hour" tragedy,
real and prophetic, lies Isaiah's por-
trayal of Messiah's wounding and
bruiSing is an example of the tragic
in prophecy; and Herod'S slaughter
of the innocents is an example of
the real tragedy that, even in His
infancy, crept into the way of Jesus.
The reason for the tragedy is just in
view. Evil, incarnated in men, or
pervasive of spirits, reSistS its own
destruction. The serpent strikes
back. And, though ii is bruised
unto death, ii bruises its Conqueror.
That, in short, makes all the tragedy
Of Redemption.
Let US not forget, further, that
tragedy involving Self.Sacrifice, glori-
fieS. 1t is the tragic, in the life of
Jesus that give it its greatest glory.
And the glory is highest and hottest
where the tragic is most tragic. 1t
is at that focal point of redemptive
tragedy, the Cross. Here Paul
found his inspiration 10 glory.
God forbid that should glory save
in the cross of our Lord Jesus
Christ" And our devout hearts
catch up the strain in Bowring's
well known hymn:
when the sun of bliss is beam
ing
Light and love upon my way,
From the Cross the radiance stream
ing
Adds more luSter to the day."

"SOEDIERS."

The braveSt battle that ever was frought,
Shall tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world you will find
il not;
Twas fought by the mothers of men,
Nay, not with cannon or battle shout,
With sword or nobler pen;
Nay, not with eloquent words or thought
From months of wonderful men.
But deep in a walIcd-up woman's heart
OF woman that would not yield,
But bravely, silently, bore her part
Lo, there was the battlefield.
No marshalling troops, no bivouac
song,
No banner TO CLEAN and wave;
But oh, these battles they last SO long
From babyhood 10 the grave!
Yet faithful still as bridge of stars
She fights in her walledup town
Fights on and on the endless wars,
Then, silent, unseen, goes down.
Oh, We with banners and battle shout,
And soldiers TO shout and praise;
tell you the kindlicst victories fought
Were fought in these silent ways.
Oh, spotless woman in worldof shame,
With splendid and salient scorn
Go back TO God as white as you came,
The kinglieSt warrior born!

Made Strong and Well by Vinol.

When we tell you that Vinol is the
best remedy in our whole stock for
making weak, puny, ailing children
strong, robust and rosy, we are only
telling you what has been proved by
hundreds of mothers.
Mrs. W. o. Strother, Raleigh, N G.,
says: "My little girl, Hazel, has been
taking Vinol to build her up after a
severe spell of sickness. 1t has done
SO much good by restoring her appe-
tite and building up her strength that
I think Vinol is the finest tonic ever
prepared, and l am telling everyone
about it."
What vinol did for this little
girl it will do for very weak and
ailirg child, because sickly children
need the strengthening cod liver
elements and the tonic iron that
Vinol contains-that is why Vinol
builds them up quickly and gives
them fine, healthy color. 1t is
pleasant to take, and We guar
antee that the results will satisfy
vor - money back If they do not.

Decay Periods for Citrus Fruits

The Florida Grower: The practi-
cal farmer is going to school every
day in the school of experience We
have had lesson for two years in
succession that should teach crafty
wisdom too the grower and shipper
of citrus fruit. 1t is something TIE
California grower has known for
years, but apparently the average
grower of Florida has paid no atten-
ton to the lesson, though it is possible
that it has been repeated in various
years covering the history of the Flo
rida citrus industry.
Last season it may be remembered,
that we had decay" period in De-
cember The Grower called attention
to it at the time, tracing the reason
back to a two-day warm rain, pre-
cseded by long period of dryness,
and succeeded by two-weeks' warm
spell. The rains last year came on
the 2Sth and 29th of November.
This past month has been very dry.
Rain came three weeks ago, on the 21St
and 22nd of the month. The rains
were warm, and the weather following
was warmer. This week all fruit ar
irving in the market is showing from
5 to 40 per cent decay.
w. C. Temple has studied these
conditions very closely. He says that
fruit packed for three or four days
following the rain does not show de-
cay, but that picked for the next week
is very tender. His theory is that
the tree, being dormant at the time
of the arrival of the rain, does not
wake up for three or four days, but
after that time begins to flow sap
freely. He says that if an orange is
cut on the fifth or sixth day that the
stem end will show pure sap that has
not yet assimilated with the juices;
that in the cut orange it never does
assimilate, but ferments and causes
the fruit to rot; that if the orange
was left on the tree for a few days
this sap would change into juice, and
the fruit carry all right. This alb
normal condition usually lasts three
or four days, after that time the fruit
will ship all right again.
Mr. Temple says that he was fairly
sure that the rains would bring rot,
and that he considered for four days
about the ACCESSIBILITY of sending OUT
bulletin advising packers of cOndi-
tions, but that he did not have nerve
enough to ask them to stop, when he
was not absolutely sure. He did issue
bulletin on December 7th, which was
two days before the decay showed UP
in the markets, advising associations
that the fruit was sure to be tender,
and that if they ever handled fruit
carefully in their lives that now was
the time to do it. The results show
that he was right.

purpose, but the march of events the
progress of the stae, the new and i'm
mense immigration of recent years,
have all aided in bringing about new
conditions that the old document is
incapable of dealing with in the mod
ern spirit of progre3siveness. 1t has
now become a serious handicap to
our development, and the time has
come to give it thorough revision.

Miami Herald: Probably at no
time within a decade has there been
so strong a feeling that the present
constitution had been outgrown by the

Stubs wants the people to rule, or
whether he wants the job. There can

their will is preference for Curtis,

Lose Trees 10 OYears Old.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Aug. 10. =
The site picked for the temporary state
capitol, for which the contract was let
for it's construction yesterday, will Ne
cessitate the cutting of several large
trees, which are perhaps 100 years old
which stand in that section OF the
present Capitol Park.
These trees are principally elms and
sycamores, and some are feet in dia-
meter. 1t has been suggested the tenn
porary capitol be located on part of
the land recently purchased SO that
these fine old trees may not be sacri-
feed.
The site selected is Immediately
north of the old supreme court build
ing and near the east entrance to the
Capitol Park. The trees which will
have to be removed are the largest and
finest in the grounds, and have stood
there, it is believed, since Missouri
was admitted to the Union in 1921,
long before the old state house was
erected in 1887.
