Presbtycrisns Will Have Right to De.
eide for Itself Whether to Use Fer
mented Wine.
Kansas City, May 26.-The question
of the use Of fermented and un-
fermented wine in the communion
service today provoked commission
era attending the general assembly
OF the Presbyterian church in the
United States (Southern) into q live
ly discussion. Advocates of unfer-
mented wine or grape juice apparently
were victorious.
The discussion was precipitated
when. the Rev. ]. 8. Lyons of Louis
Vile. Ky.. representing the commit
tee on bills and oyertures, read an
overture from the First Presbyterian
church, Savannah. Ca, asking If the
session (the ruling board of the local
church) has the right to choose be-
tweenu fermented and unfermented
wine for use in communion.
A second question which the church
asked the assembly to answer was:
rs uhfermented wine equally scrip
tural with fermented wine?"
The, committee recommended that
the general assembly give the sessions
the right to choose between ferment-
ed wine and grape juice. After q
great deal of discussion the part of
the committees report permitting the
sessions to choose the wine used was
adopted:
The thanks of the assembly were
voted to the Rev. s. H. Chester of
Nashville, Tenn, who retires now
from the executive committee on for
eign missions after 20 years service.
The Rev. L. E. McNair of Nashville.
Tenn. today presented a report which
told OF the work of the American
Bible society acting in conjunction
with the various denominations.
Last year 1.7O6,459 Bibles were dis
tributed through the nine home agen-
cies. This was an increasce Of $780,
222 volumes over the preceding year.
No account was taken In these figures
Of the society's distribution of the
Bibles through the trade. The total
issue for the year was 5,500,0OO
copies, an increase of more than
100000 over, the year before. In
commenting on the report Rev. M.
D. Porter of Richmond. Va, asserted
that the best way to Americanize i'm
migrants was through the Bible.
IT we could put the Bible into the
hands Of every immigrant who enters
our country, the problem would be
solved" he said.
The remaining business, chief Of
which is the discussion of the report
Of the systematic beneficence commit
tee. will be rushed in the hope Of ad-
journing Thursday. ...

out from other alumni and citizens
OF the University and of the State
which he has 20 signally honored?
Mr.. Editor, It II an old puzzle with
me why 20 few Of our alumni attend
the annual meetings or otherwise
show any active interest In their alma
mater. It 10 not 90 with other insti-
tutions. which present no higher
claim on affectionate loyalty than
does our own University: I might
mention some whose. annual COM
mencements are thronged with re-
turning alumni. Let me relate a per-
sonal incident.
A few years ago I had occasion to
spend q few days In our charming
and unique city Of Charleston. I was
welcomed by the local alumni asso-
citation of the University of Virginia
which I had left ffty years before;
and Of Washington and Lee which I
had left thirty years before but I
found no such organization Of the
alumni Of Carolina. When ] enquir-
ed I was told that no such organiza-
ton existed. My friend Mr.. =, a
member of the class of 80 answer
ed: This city IL full Of our alumni,
but we do not know one another" ;"
Why Ia this thus? The utmost ef-
forts have been made for years past,
to encourage such local organizations
but I regret to say only with poor
success.
Let me add. in conclusion. that the
prosperity and usefulness of @ uni.
versity or college depend more on its
alumni than on any other agency.
Trustees. professors. and students are
temporary but the alumni as q self
recruiting body live for ever. They
stand permanently for what the insti-
tuition Ia and for what 1t has done.
What 1t can do Ii measured by their
affection and loyalty-shall we not
now have q new birth Of zeal in our
alumni. and as nn earnest of this shall
we not give to our honored Barber a
crowd and rousing welcome!

Roasted Chestnu ts.

Here's the greenwood. here's the lane.
Here's the meadow-bottom sweet
With the little crick whose strain
OF silver sang at the pastures .eet;
The paw-paws leaning DER the brake
In the old swamp bottom, thick with reeds
And here Is the winding road again
Where the bleeding heart OF GUNNER
bleeds
Here's the quaiTs clear CALL the croak
OF the brlndled crow-a soaring gloom.
Here's where the road from the old mill
broke,
And here's the marigolds stu abloom;
Here, all here, on this little stand
When the roasting chestnuts steam,
And your thoughts go off to q fairy land
In the valley Of golden dream.
You taste Il all In the taste of these
Something fine as a fine old cheese
That our little brother from over sease
Finds so full of the Alpine breeze,
And the snow and the Ice and the eidel-
Here's the pines and the willow and pod
OF the purple thistle. the dew-decked clod,
The sparrows chirp and the field lark 9
And the autumn fields Of the world of

Big and Little Business.
From the Milwaukee Journal.


Over and over we hear 1t repeated tina,
"Bigness is no crime;p that IA business
Is not necessarily good because 1t Is lit
tie" and so on. There Ia some truth In
this and much false logic. Little business
Is not an offender because II has not the
power to be. There is no danger that II
will restrain compe tition, make preferen-
tial deals, control legislation. 1t Is the ca
pacity for these things that makes big
business dangerous and has so often made
It an offender.
For proof of this, take the changed at
ttude on the tariff of some very promi-
nent conservative republicans. John G.
Spooner, for example, once a defender of
high tariff protection, announced COM
plete change in his views when he saw
that trusts had built themselves up at
public expense behind the tariff wall.
President Wilson believes in competition
and not In trusts. Others believe in regu-
lated trusts. Which opinion is right and
which will finally prevail is fair subject of
argument. But the simple fact remains
that when you give "a man or a business
the power to raise prices you are doing ex-
actly the same thing as when you put a
gun in his pocket. There Is always the
chance that when temptation comes, he
will use 1t. This Is the trouble with big
business, and In the nature of things can
not be danger In little business.

Reason. Tor IL. cotton Pool.

EIOIIl IHe LcuBcE.. q
The bankers IN the non-cotton produc-
ing states have subscribed $lO0,00o,0o0 to
the cotton pool because they realize the
importance of protecting the crop values.
Last year H.129.000 bales were produced
and S2s5.6S7 bales exported to Europe, II
cotton worth 10 cents to Is cents a pound

Is correspondingly reduced and our ball
ances must be liquidated by the difference
In gold or some commodity.
intelligent self-interest led bankers to
consent to accept warehouse receipts for
cotton In large quantities as security for
loans In order that the cotton crop may

International balances preserved.
The cotton pool fund Is to be employed
10 take cotton from the market and hold
IL until IL becomes possible to export the
staple at a reasonable price. A loan COM
mittee has charge of the administration
OF the fund. IL will be- assisted by sub
committees In each of the cotton states
and these subcommittee will appoint To-
cal committees to advise them. The loans
are to be made on the security Of cotton
In warehouses not owned by the owner Of
the cotton. Applications for money must
be made before February !, 1915, and the
loans are TO run not longer than February

advisable to extend them for six months
longer. They are to bear per cent inter-

Now that arrangements have been made
to protect the crop Il is likely that prices

Two Fundamental Errors.

There are two fundamental errors that

that IL the commerce Of a nation Is ex-

the first the answer is, that the whole
world is open to people Of any nation to
go where they Will. The English and the
er parts OF the world, made happy homes
and accumulated wealth and they are still
free to go, The over-population has been

In regard to the second contention there
Is still less reason for It's existence. To

doctrine OF all authorities in political
economy that all commerce Is mutually

Birds Forecast weather.
From Farm and Fireside.


The spider upon the approach OF rainy
or windy weather will be found to shorten
and strengthen the guys OF his web
When the storm is over he will lengther
them again. 49,
Sea gulls predict storms by assembling
on the land, but this Is merely search
for food. They instinctively know that
the rain will bring the earth worms and
larva to the surface. A similar instinct
teaches the swallow to fly high in fair
weather and skim the ground when foul
weather is coming. They simply follow
the flies and gnats which remain In the
warm air. ...
Swine win carry hay and straw to a
hiding place, oxen will Eek themselves
the wrong way OF the k1ir, sheep will
bleat and skip about, hogs turned out
in the woods win come to their pens
squealing and grunting, colts win rub
their backs against the ground, crows
viii gather in fiocks, crickets will sing
more loudly. frogs will croak and change
color to a dingy hue, dogs will eat grass
and rocks soar like hawks.
In all probability these many actions
are due to an uneasiness similar to that
which all who are troubled with corns
or rheumatism experience Just previous
to a storm, and are caused both by the
variation in barometric pressure and the
changes In the electrical conditions Of the
atmosphere.
