After presenting many various
arguments in trying to convince the
people of the truths of our eternal
Gospel we drop back again to the
proof they can have in their own
heart at this very time in their own
village, if they will really give them
selves up in prayer to him who was
revealed to take away sin. After
talking with us the people find them
selves, perhaps the same day, in the
midst of, say, the slaughter of goats
throughout the village for the keeping
up of some special festival, or great
dance before their gods right on into
the night. Who knows where the
Message has really found access?"

Mr.. Greet, .s'totaled up more than that

reaching into some new country. One
of my first trips away from our fam

letter, was to see poor old Prema at

We returned TO our home in Janu-

out again to stay till April This
time we pushed forward at once to
Devasari, neighborhood of many
villages which last season we were
prevented from reaching. We pitched
our camp on the edge of a pine wood
and close to small ravine, on the
other side of which lay long line of
villages. Close by our tent was the
temple to which, on special occasions.
the people gathered from all sides.
my memory goes back many years
to some remarkable results from the
very first visits to simple villagers in
the plains who accepted Christ at once
and stood faithful till death, but gen

is after continued presentation of
the truth. A most encouraging thing
during our touring in the hills this
past springtime was the extent to

for years, but had always passively re-

the close of hot journey up long

only one man, lad and a child at

OF an apricot tree, concerning the Way
OF Life and other ways, and at the
close our man, who has nearly always

two at his theater, promising her f120

Gallo went to take her the second
payment he entered, saying, Here Is

she replied, with an air of surprise.
"Oh. the f120 for yesterdays perform

DAMAGE
To Peach Trees Not Fully
Determined
columbus JournaD

Peach blossoms are coming out of
the winter in an Indifferent condition,
according to Chief Orchard Inspector
N. E. Shaw, who recently received re-
ports from all sections of the state.
Mr.. Shaw declared that II Is yet i'm
possible to know the full extent of the
damage done by the severe cold of
January and February.
1t does not seem to be question of
location in the damage done, says Mr..
Shaw. In the nothern section of the
state, where the coolest was eight or
ten degrees below zero, quite as much
damage has been done as In other sec.
tions, where the mercury got as low as
20 degrees below.
In many large orchards as much as
80 per cent of the buds are still in good
condition. Mr.. Shaw says, while In 9th
ers all are killed. He does not regard
the peach crop prospects as flattering
Mr.. Shaw declared the apple and other
| fruit prospects are better than In a
number of years.
Although the Cetone compulsory
spraying act does not become effective
until spring and the law is so drawn
as to make It impossible of enforce
ment until year from then, Mr. Shaw
declared that Ohio Is taking lead ir
fruit tree spraying. Agents for spray
ers and spraying supplies, he said, are
unanimous In their verdict that Ohio
people are wider awake to the goot
that will flow from spraying than any
of the neighboring states.

Old Egyptian Perfumes.

Priests in Egypt, who were the sole
lepositaries of science, knew the Sc
eret of aromatic substances and pre-
pared them themselves. Egyptian
perfumes acquired great celebrity, es-
pecially those made In Alexandria.
Reserved originally for religious rites.
perfumes subsequently became Of cur
rent use among the wealthy classes.
During banquets they were diffused
through the halls and were burnt In
profusion. The 1sraelltes during their
sojourn In Egypt adopted the use Of
aromatic substances primarily for re.
ligious purposes and afterward for
personal usage. The Greeks. who
loved elegance, were especially adj
dicted TO the use of perfumes, and
they taught their secrets and usage
to the Romans, who were not content
to use merely the perfumes Of the
orIent--aloes, myrrh. incense and nard
but also made perfumes similar to
those Of the present day-scents OF
lilies, lavender. roses and thyme.

now an evangelist, is conducting a

possible for Sunday himself to get

The Topic, "The DEVILS Boomerang,
