In rar-off days, when the world was

Fair maid, ere your praises rich were

Did vou take your art from the

To dance and swing with the world

We do our friends IA valuable service
when we call their attention to the
valuable book entitled, THE TIME
is AT HAND" In which are given
many Scriptural evidences to prove
where we are on the stream OF time.
Mems hearts are failing them for
fear" and many OF the leading think
ers are proposing remedies to better
conditions The Scriptures assure us
that mans extremity will be Gods
opportunity, and this book holds out
an anchor to those who fear the wave
Of unrest now spreading over the
world
The honest heart confesses that It Is
at loss for an explanation Of tran
spring events While we refer to this
as the BRAIN AGE and the Age Of
ENLIG EMINENT. nevertheless
many realize that we are fnst ap-
preaching a crisis which is wrapped In
darkness owing to the present world
wide social, religious and political un-
rest
As though by instinct the whole
creation, while II groans and trayails
10 pain together, waits for, longs for
and hopes for the DAY. calling 1t the
GOLDEN AGE; yet men grope
blindly because not aware Of the great
Jehovah's gracious purposes. And to
his wondering creatures, looking at the
length and breadth. the height and
depth Of the love Of God, SURPRISING
all expectation, He explains: my
thoughts are not your thoughts.
neither are your ways my ways, saith
the Lord: for as the heavens are high
er than the earth SO are my ways
higher than your ways, and my
thoughts than your thoughts" lisa.

CHINESE WATER NUTS.
TIE Natives OF the Fowery Kingdom
Like, the Horned Ling.

re Natives OF tnc FIoWoIy NlHJCJH |
Like, the Horned Ling.
The term water chestnut I'm China
is indiscriminately applied to several
varieties of nut fruit of plants grow
ing in water. which form a consider
able portion of the food supply of many
natives They are so well liked by
Chinese that large quantities of the
nuts are exported to various parts OF
the world, particularly 10 Chinese in
the United States and the Philippines.
Perhaps the more widely scattered
species is that known by the Chinese
in the Yangtse valley country as ling"
and i'm the Canton country as "ling
kok." This nut Is SHAPED much like
the two horns OF a water buffalo or
Texas steer. including q portion of the
skull. The shell is so hard as to re-
quire cracking, and the kernel is COM
paratively small and consists of almost
pure starch.
The ling" or cling kok Is the va
riety most generally noticed by travel
ers along the canals and ponds of cen
trail China. on the canal system con-
nected with the Grand canal in Che
kiang province and in that canal itself
the cultivation reaches its greatest e%-
tent. The nuts are planted merely By
dropping year-oId nuts at inter, ais of
a few feet in ponds or along the edge
of a canal where the plants can be
fenced in by bamboo poles and net
work Of bamboo.
They arc planted annually in The
lspring. growing best in or feet Of
sand and shoot TO the surface I'm an in
credibly short time. The nuts are form
| ed among the leaves Of the plant on
the surface and are gathered in boats.

/ sembles i'm appearance a field Of water
/ hyacinth i'm the rovors OF the southern
United states. The nut plant, in fact
grows undcr similar conditions to the
water hyacinth and it is probable tina;
I the nut could he cultivated in the
United states where the hyaciEth plant
now grows
The Chinese people use these nuts ii
various ways They are to be hat
roasted of street vendors in Contra
I China cities; they-are eaten boiled
tasting somewhat like a Jerusalem ar
ticholke: they are made into various
pastries and puddings, some of the lat
ter being quite popular amons foreign
