The BIBLE

This Book contains the mind of
God, the state of man, the way
of salt alton, the doom of sinners,
and the happiness of believers.
It's doctrines are holy, it's precepts
are binding, it's histories are true.
and it's decisions are immutable.
Read it to be wise, believe it to
be holy. 1t contains light to
direct you, food to support you,
and comfort to cheer you. 1t is
the travellers map, the pilgrims
staff. the pilots compass, the
soldiers sword, and the Chris
tian's character. Here Paradi-e
is restored, heaven opened, and
the gates of hell disclosed.
Christ is it's grand subject, our
good its design, and the glory Of
God it's end. 1t should fill the
memory, rule the heart, and
guide the feet. Read it slowly,
frequently, prayerfully. 1t is a
mine of wealth, a paradise of
glory and a riv of pleasure.
1t is given you in life, will be
opened at the judgment, and be
remembered forever. Itinvolves
the highest responsibility, re-
wards the greatest labor, and
condemns all who trif1e with it's
holy contents!

SUPERSTITION
Unidentified,

Superstition received another
blow last Sunday morning when
the Rev. R. O. Phillips in a mild
and masterful manner told his
congregation that religion and
superstition were as different as
day and night"
Superstition and ignorance go
hand in hand, and the more edu-
Gated one becoms both temporarily
and spiritually, less power is ex-
erted by superstition, until finally
at such time that the individual
permits, the sound mind" has
overthrown the powers of dark
ness and superstition, and we
know ourselves amenable to the
laws of God.
After the discourse was over,
it was plainly seen that supersti-
ton and Satan are correlative,
and can only be effectually beaten
by a sound mind and the Chris
tain religion. /"

CULTURE IN GINSENG

In years gone by, some in
dividual was always jumping into
the limelight with a story of
fabulous profits in the culture Of
ginseng, the little feshy-rooted
plant that is sometimes found in
American woods.
These tales have been 50
frequent of late that the depart
ment of agriculture has issued
some data on ginseng, designed
to clear up doubts on the ques-
ton. The government ginseng
sharps admit that money may be
made raising ginseng and they
advise against plugging" in the
business.
Ginseng is growing so scarce
lin America that its value has
risen from 40 cents to Sc a pound.
1t is found in nearly all parts of
the eastern United States and re-
quires rich, woody soil for its
culture.
While Asiatics will consume all
the ginseng that can be raised on
this side of the water, the plant
is very delicate and requires all
the care of an infant. Nearly
six years are required for the
roots to reach marketable size
and the raising of ginseng is
open to much guile. The prac-
tice of loading the roots with shot
one of the oldest tricks of the
trade.
The United States is exporting
about 165, $50 pounds of this root
every year, the yield of about
700 acres of well-cultivated gin
seng plants. The average farmer
is more concerned with native
crops than with the cultivation Of
heather medicine, SO the industry
is not expected to jump by leaps
and bounds, although the depart
ment admits that money can be
made in ginseng, with patience
and care.

PLAYING EVEN

Evansville, lnQlana.
Il wants my money!" she de-
manded.
The cashier had never seen the
woman before. What's your
name" he asked.
Nancy Lee, +" answered the
old woman.
The cashier turned to the
records, but found no trace of
the name.
There isn't any money here
for you," he said, after a few
minutes.
Eyes dey is" insisted the
negro, cause | done left it hoah
befo' de war;
The cashier consulted the presi-
dent of the bank. That must
be that little box in the back of
the vault" observed the presi-
dent.
They found the little box. 1t
was wrapped in yellowish paper.
On one side was written, with
pencil, Nancy Lee," The presi-
dent s....-iled:
recall now when she brought
this box here" he said. There
are four twenty-dollar gold
pieces in that box. | asked her
at the time if she didn't want
deposit check. She didn't know
what it was, and said she didn't
want it, but just to keep the box
here for her, and that she would
call for it some day. That was
in 1861 fifty years ago."
The president handed the
money to Nancy Lee. who was
patiently waiting.
Here it is, Nancy, just as you
left it, :" smiled the president.
"Yessah!" Her eyes sparkled
as she took the box. Il knowed
it wah heah. Thank ye."
why haven't you come for it
sooner, Nancy?" asked the presi-
dent.
Il amt been needin' it," she
answered, turning to leave, "but
Use gettin' old now, an | needs
it."
The old woman had simply
played she had put in
eighty and drew out eighty. This
money was lost for half a century.
1t was of no service to the bank,
didn't do society any good nor
was it of any benefit to the negro
woman. If she had deposited
the money intelligently, to draw
the three per cent the bank paid.
she would have drawn out over
$500 instead of merely playing
even.
Poor Nancy Lee didn't know
any better. Most any of us
would, in a matter of this kind,
but aren't there other matters in
which we show as little wisdom
as displayed by her?
On most every farm there are
certain resources let's call hem
talents that are not developed
as they might be. They are sim
ply playing even. Take a spring
or a small stream of water it
could be worked so that it would
run hydraulic ram to pump a
small amount of water, day and
night, into a reservoir to furnish
water works for the house and
garden all for a hundred dollars
or less.
And in most every man there
are talents that are not developed,
but allowed to be lost" so that
they benefit neither the man
nor society. Are not our talents
God given? And should we not
exercise them so that they will
develop and bring returns? How
many of these talents have you
that you are simply playing
even" on?

According to this genealogy the
reigning house of Great Britain Is de-

est daughter of Zedekiah, who fed to
Ireland in charge of the Prophet Jere-
