Washington Wins Again.

Washington won the Great North
ern trophy cup given for the most
artistic exhibit at the Northwestern
Land Products Show recently held
in the Twin City.
Fruits and grains predominated in
the exhibit and were put up by Mr..
and Mrs. M j. Wesself of Spokane,
Washington. To them is due much
of the credit for this beautiful and
educational exhiit. Mr.. Vessel
"Processed" fruit made big hit.
The fruit was placed in large glass
jars showing the natural color and
exact size. Mrs. Vessels unique
Japanese effect in the decorative
background made of Washington S
grains, received much favorable COM
ment. The fruit, both the process
ed'' and "box" exhibits came from
the various fruit districts of WASH
ington. The educational effect OF
this exhibit can hardly be overesti-
mated. The big red apples OF Wash
ington were in striking contrast to
the fruits of the midwestern states.
Thousands of farmers from the mid
west came up to st. Paul to see the
exhibit and would not have believed
that such fruits could be raised in
Washington had they not seen the
actual evidence before them.

Immediately sends and gets some
trees of that variety. In few years
he has some of these apples to put on
the market but to his surprise the
trade does not take readily to this
new apple. Why? Simply because
no one knows anything about this
apple. This lesson should be learned
from such an incident. The reputa-
tion an apple has is valuable asset
in the selling of it. People do not
like to "buy a pig in poke. 1t
may be that on apple looks1 we'll but
like some people the good looks is
the principal part of it. How readily
people will buy the Spitzenburg, the
Winesap, the Jonathan or any other
good apple that is we'll known. In
time an apple of real merit will come
into favor but sometimes it takes
years for this to come about. Twelve
or fifteen years ago the Rome Beauty
would not sell any better in some of
the markets than Ben Davis. That
was true in Seattle but it is far
different now, for the past season this
apple sold very we'll. 1t does not sell
as high as the Spitzenburg, Jonathan
or Winesap but it is such an enormous
bearer that it pays about as we'll as
any of them. My advice to the mex
Derienced beginner would be. pIant a
few trees of promising new varieties,
but depend on the varieties that are
we'll known, and you will not go far
wrong.

are affected local application, con-
sisting of 80 parts of alcohol and enc
of oil of mustard will relieve them.
The best internal medicine for this is
salol, which is made up largely of
salicylate of soda, about eight grains
a day. This is not expensive; costs
about ten cents an ounce and can be
obtained at almost any drug store.
Keep the pigs warm and dry, and in
their slop feed them enough oil meal
or something that will loosen the
bowels.

Educating the Hand.

By Charles E. Cline, Lecturer OH
Industrial Education, State, College,
Pullman, Washington.
Before Plato time, much attention
was given to the education of the
hand as we'll as the head. The great
works of architecture, sculpture and
moral paintings, prove this. But
Plato became the chief exponent of
the thought that all education should
be abstract-of the head and thinking
facilities alone. Following his teach
ings there was a decline and eclipse
Of human knowledge until the Dark
Ages swept over the whole world.
Education then was all attempt to
fit the whole number of the educated
for admission to one of the so-called
''learned professions the law,
medicine, the church or pedagogy.
Not more than one per cent Of the
people can find a place in these pro-
fessions. Hence, such plan of
education neglected the educational
needs of ninety nine per cent of the
people.
Carlyle said: ''Man without tools
is a savage-is nothing; with them he
is everything Man is a tool using
animal; he can use tools; he can de-
wise them, with them the granite
mountain melts into dust before him;
he kneads iron as if it we're soft
paste; seas are his smooth highways,
and wind and fire his unwearing
steeds.
Macaulay in one of his finest periods
shows the value of tools to man. In
Rotterdam, where manual training
has been in use for forty years, the
results show that the boy who spends
one-haIf of his school day at the
bench keeps pace in mental develop
ment and education with the boy
whose whole school day is spent at
study alone. The recent session Of
the National Educational Association.
which met in San Francisco in July,
after bordering the subject for days,
announced that mechanic arts.
agriculture and household science
should be recognized as rational
elements in the education of all boys

EVERYBODY'S Bible BOX.

Q-Why does God the great Creator
who has all power and wisdom permit the
reign of sin and evil in the earth? When
we see all Of the sorrow and misery ex
listing in the world because of the evil we
won1er that just and loving Creator
would permit these things when He has
tinne2
Answer.-This is a very important ques-
ton and one that thinking minds have
pondered over for ages past. We believe
that it can best be answered by using
fact of history to illustrate the matter In
ancient times, during the reign of a wise
and just ruler over a large part OF the
earth. rebellion occurred in a certain
portion OF the empire. A usurper arose
and, misrepresenting the character of the
empero r, succeeded in inducing the PEG
pie OF this particular province to no Ions
er render obedience to their rightful SOW
ereign- Although the emperor had the
power to SUPPRESS the rebellion at once, he
permitted the tyrant, to rule over the
province and in this way let the reopl,.
experience the hardships and evils OF ms
rule, that they might the better appEe-
ciate the advantages OF the wise and bene-
ficent reign of the monarch. Also il
would furnish an object lesson to the peo-
pie OF the other provinces. And thus II
turnad out, the people in time grew sx-
ceedingly weary OF the woe and sorrows
inflicted by the usurper and when the
opportunity finally presented itself to
cape from his dominion, they gladly re-
turned to complete harmony with their
emperor, expressing their allegiance and
full submission to his just commands

demon from a boy whose father had
brought him for the purpose. Jesus
came promptly to the relief of the
Apostles and inquired the nature of
their trouble. The father explained.
And Jesus answered, 20 faithless gen
Grafton! How long shall be with you

and Immediately the spirit caused him
to fall to the ground, walIowing and
foaming. Jesus questioned how long

cannot have the blessing which others
may have who do exercise faith.
This does not imply that people who
cannot now exercise faith will never
get any blessing. On the contrary. by
and by, during Messiafl's Kingdom,
the way of faith and obedience will be
made so plain, 80 simple, that all win
be able to follow it and to gain re-
ward-but a lesser reward than that
now extended to those who can and do
exercise faith and obedience.
The reason for this is manifest. God
is now seeking a special class of the
specially faithful and obedient, to be
heirs of God and joint-heirs with Jesus
in His glorious Messianic Kingdom. and
whom by and by He will use in bestow-
ing His blessing worldwide; and He
desires that in this class shall be only
such as can exercise absolute faith in
Him. In this and other miracles the
Lord required faith as the condition of
the healing. He thus manifested forth
His coming glory. During the King
dom reign there will be such manifesto
lions of Divine Power, and such assist
ance given to those willing to exercise
faith that all may profit thereby and
experience the healings of their flesh
and the casting out of every power of
Satan and sin.
The poor father realized from Jesus
words that he must exercise faith else
his son could not be recovered. With
tears he cried out, Lord. I believe:

said to a group of Philadelphia minis
tiers the other day that there were
ministers in the city who knew more
about the art of advertising than he
whose business il is. Still there IS
lack of power. The church is not heal
ing lives as it should The foul are
not being made clean, the crooked are
not being made straight. the sad are
not set to rejoicing, the hungry OF

Is the same as it was in the case or
the disciples who failed. 'All things are
possible to him that believeth-" The
lack of the church is the lack of spir-
itual power, which is in essence lack
of simple faith

Whatever might be wrong with the
disciples, there was nothing the mat
ter with the Master Himself. The
church may fail in much of her work,
but the fault is not with her Lord
When the father took his son to Jesus

the wonder of all beholders. The ten

was one OF trust Jesus proceeded to
teach it in the familiar words, Verify

The entire story OF the lesson is a
teaching upon faith. 1t was re-

which no man can question that the

sions may be subjected by the Christ,
whose power is commanded by faith
To revitalize and make efficient our
churches, we need, not more money. not
more sophistication, not an improve

electric lighting and our musical equip

more of the faith which Jesus sought
seduIously to teach His deciples. The
need of needs is for return to the
simple essence of our faith. When
Christians go to their knees in suppl
cation they will be able to sing the song
of jubiIation. Union with Christ is the

got it's reward. Jesus commanded the
evil spirit to come out of the boy
and enter no more into him.
1t may be wondered why the Mas
ter permitted the evil spirit to tear
the boy and cause him pain, in leav-
ing him. If He had power to cast him
out, He also undoubtedly had power
to control the manner of his coming
out. We can only surmise therefore
that Jesus, on this and other occasions,
allowed the evil spirit a measure of
liberty in the method of leaving, and
that this was for the very purpose of
demonstrating how malicious and evil
the spirit was which had control; and
thus the miracle was the more clearly
seen, and the Lord more praised
':Many Said, He Is Dead.'''
The boy was left in an apparently
dead condition, but Jesus took him
by the hand and raised him up. The
lesson for US in this is that it is not
only that the Adversary and his power
be cast out from humanity, that the
poor world needs, but they need Di-
vine power for their uplift out of the
mire of sin and death. According to
the Scriptures, we are near the time
when Satan will be bound, when all the
influences of evil amongst humanity
will be restrained According to the
SCRIPTURES, dISO' TINS DlI1O1HS Oh RodleiA
will be accomplished in a great time
of trouble such as never was since
there was q nation and humanity will
be left in an almost dead condition.
The pride, the hopes, the ambition of
men will perish in that awful trouble
time, but the Master will be present
in Kingdom power to uplift them.
Messiah's Kingdom will not only bind
the Adversary and forbid him to re-
enter humanity and interfere with
their affairs. but will for a thousand
years do an uplifting work amongst
the fallen and degraded members of
our race, lifting them up, up, up, until
they will fully attain the Divine stand

Every missionary is only a represen-
tative- What he does is not of him
self. He stands in the stead of the
Christians at home who sent and sup
port him. All of his achievements are
to be placed to their credit as well as
to his own Most of US can only be
foreign missionaries through a substi-
tute.
There are certain figures that tes-
tify to the vastness and potency of
this missionary enterprise Thus there
are more than 81 600 foreign mission
aries now at work on behalf of all
Christian churches. Through these is
expended an annual sum exceeding
2 million dollars. They are co-Iaboring
with $1,000 native helpers; and they
report two and quarter million COM
munlcant members Of the church in
the mission field. In addition, there
are five million adherents. All this
within about hundred years leads the
devout Christian to cry, What hath
God wrought"
The missionary has proved that
there are no racial lines running
through the grace of God. That the
gospel Is for all the world is made
clear by the demonstrab BILE fact that
In all the world the converts have
borne the marks of New Testament
discipleship.
Most of the languages of earth have
been reduced to writing, or translated
into English, by missionary scholars.
