THE NATIONS DINNER TABLE

When the dinner bell of this nation
rings there have been slaughtered for
the repast $4,000 beeves, 81. 900 hogs,
1900 sheep. 1000 hundredweight of
poultry and other meats. and there
have been 100000 bushels of cereals
and 540.000,000 pounds of vegetables
prepared for the feast. Multiply these
quantities by one thousand, repre-
senting approximately the number of
meals per annum, and we have the
annual contents of the nations larder.
But with all our immense quantity,
superb quality and wide range of pro-
ducts. the American housewife, like
the wife of King Nebuchadnezzar,
longs for variety and she goes market
ing in foreign lands. She buys abroad
$500, 100000 per annum of farm pro-
ducts that can and should be produced
in the United States.

Some Marvellous Exhibits
at the Panama-Pacific
international Exposition

Exhibits in Agricultural Palace at the
Panama-Pacific International Expo
sition Show Caterpillar Gaining
Favor Over lug-wheeier Trac-
tors in Farm Machinery.
An observer in the Agriculture Pal
ace at the Panama-Pacific Interna-
tional Exposition at San Francisco
cannot help noticing. in the display of
agricultural power machinery, the al
most complete supersedence of the
new design of power tractor, known as
the caterpillar, over the cumbersome,
unstable, high-wheeled engine of
few years ago. There are few of the
old models on exhibition, while the
caterpillar principle has been applied
to almost every type of engine for ag-
ricultural purposes.
The caterpillar proper is a heavy
sheet metal chain, varying in width
from ten inches to two feet according
to the weight of the engine, which
passes around two heavy sprocket
wheels like belt. These wheels re-
volving, pass the chain about them,
the lower part moving backward, with
the weight of the engine resting on
the broad surface of the chain be
tween the two sprockets.
An engine of this type can be op-
Grated on ground soft enough to mire
an ordinary farm wagon.

NeiehborIy Love Essential.

If religion pervades and colors the
whole life then ours is serious bust
ness, for it will let no corner of the
world escape it's influence. The sooner
we learn that Christianity is not a
thing to be practiced in a corner the
better for the world. The question of
the eighteenth century, touching Chris
tianity. was, Can it be made to square
with the human reason? OF the nine
teenth, Can it be made to square with
the results of scientific research? OF
the twentieth, What can it do? We
must learn to enforce not only love Of
God, whom we cannot see, but love to
our neighbors, with whom we are living
in constant contact. Neither without
the other is Christianity whatever else
it may be. Everything that interests
his neighbors must interest him, If he
is genuine follower of the Christ.
1t is the mission of the church-the
rural as well as the city-to evange-
lie the whole world, to train to the
highest degree of efficiency those
whom it evangelizes and to seek to
make the spirit of Jesus the absolute
rule in all human relations.

School of Religion Needed.

OF course, the Sunday School is the
center for all this work, although the
activities of the church should extend
through the entire week and the Sun
day School should cease to be SO
named. 1t should be called the School
of Religion or the Church School or
something else that indicates it to be
an allthe-week activity. During this
time various and sundry clubs, classes,
musical organizations. culture courses,
as we'll as distinctly religious meetings,
should be held. Thickly settled neigh
borhoods, as we shall see, offer fine
opportunities for the development Of
things spiritual.
The third task to which the church
is committed is that of Outstanding
the social order; that of infusing the
spirit of Jesus into every nook and
corner of our life. Nothing is foreign
to the interest of the church.

Duplicate of the Roosevelt African
Shotgun.


Shotgun.
A duplicate of the shotgun which
Col. Theodore Roosevelt took with him
on his African trip, gun constructed
expressly for him by an American
armorer, is on display at the manufac-
turer's exhibit in the Manufacturers
Palace at the Panama-Pacific Interna-
tional Exposition, San Francisco. The
gun cost its illustrious owner $500,
and its beautiful design, graceful
lines and wonderful inlay work would
justify the expenditure to any lover
of fine pieces. The stock is elabo-
rately hand carved, the barrels and
lock are hand engraved, and the lock
is inlaid with a hunting scene in gold
The barrels are of the finest Krupp
steel. Before starting on the trip the
ex-president wrote to the makers: Il
really think it is the most beautiful
gun 1 have ever seen. / am almost
ashamed to take it to Africa and sub
ject it to the rough treatment it will
receive"
The left barrel is choked and the
right open. 1t is cored to shoot either
buckshot or a single ball.
In a group in this Palace are dis
plays by four of the worlds greatest
manufacturers of sporting arms, which
form an exhibit which attracts hun

cultivation in the far East The dis
plays of this cultivated product, show
ing hundreds of pearls which until
pearl culture was placed on a COM
mercial basis few years ago would
have been the possessions of royalty,
will delight any lover of beautiful
gems, and the methods of production
will prove interesting to any OBJ
server. Though pearl culture has be-
come a thriving industry in Japan, at
tempts to reproduce it in other parts
OF the world have yielded but meager
results.
The successful method of propaga-
ton was evolved by the Japanese sci
enlist Kokichi Mikimoto, who discov-
cred a species of oyster which pro-
duced the pearl on the surface of the
shell. Though the finding of the oys-
tiers and inserting the nuclei. then
waiting for the pearl to grow to a
commercial size may seem a simple
process, the fact that it has not re-
duced the price of the gems. even to
that of the most expensive limitations,
shows that it is beset with many diff
culties.

Duty Of Christianity to EvanseIlze the
World.
BY Rev. Jno. A. Rice, D. D.
Pastor st. John NJ. E. Church. South.
st. Louis. Mo.


Some years ago, the question was
asked: What is college? The at
tempt to answer it shook the educa-
tional world in America from center
to circumference. Another question is
now beginning to be asked: What is
a church? Without undertaking to
give a definition of it, let me ask, in
this initial paper, what the church
is for? The New Testament reveals
three distinct tasks to which it is
committed.
First, that of evangelization. The
church is divinely commissioned to
reach for the lowest and the least
man in the least land and offer him
sonship to the Eternal God; offer him
a divine power. which lifts him out
of the bog and places him upon the
highest levels of human life, where
This alone were an immense priv
ilege.
Teaching the Art of Living.
The church is commissioned also
to teach and train those who are
rich with its evangelistic message.
The term, Religious Education, has
come to mean a specific thing in our
country, namely, the training of the
people in the local church in those
deep matters which pertain to the
art of living. 1 am not now speaking
of the work of education in schools,
colleges and universities, but the work
of education at our doors, In the con-
gregation. Every agency in reach
should be employed to the utmost in
this important mission. Indeed, the
local church could be made a sort of
university for all the people. in which
the simple. practical arts and virtues
of everyday life should be taught and
enforced. Only recently has this
special phase of the church's work re-
ceived anything like adequate atten-
ton. The New Testament word for
it is Edification.

Birds Still outHx Mon,

Mr.. Hawker has just broken record
by flying to a height of 10000 feet.
and one looks round for standard
with which to compare the feat. The
average English bird does not as a

migrating he sticks nearer thou

sometimes reaches 1000 feet, but not
invariably. But no aviator has yet

MRS. MADELEINE FORCE AsToR.

Mrs. MAOEAExNG EOhCG A61OQ~
Mrs. John Jacob Astor, like SO many
other society women, is busily engaged
in sewing for charity these days. Be-
sides devoting some time each day to
various outside interests, Mrs. Astor
spends much of her time with her
young son. John Jacob Astor, who is
now three years old and who was born
after his father was drowned in the
terrible Titanic disaster. ..
That no need or comfort for John
Jacob Astor is overlooked or neglected
or will be as long as his mother is his
general guardian is indicated from her
statement in her report to the surro-
gates court not long since.
by the provision made in the will
of my late husband" says Mrs. Astor,
''for the creation of trust fund of
100000 for the benefit Of each child
of mine that might survive him it
clearly appears that it was his inten-
tion to provide sum for the mainte-
nance and support Of such infant am
pie to secure everything for the COM
fort, welfare and education of such
child that money could provide"
Little John Jacob, like any other
baby. has had his pleasures, which to
him have been not the least bit less
enjoyable because of the need in his
young life Of legal services. In the
schedules which have been filed by his
mother there is suggestion of hobby
horses, rubber balls and all the other
things that make children happy.
When Surrogate Fowler appointed
Mrs. Astor as general guardian Of her
son on Nov. 8, 1912, the court fixed
$4,000 a year as the amount which
she was to expend on his support,
maintenance and education for three
years thereafter. This order was
amended on Aug. s, 1914, increasing
this allowance to $4,000 year, and
the accounting Of Mrs. Astor shows
how inadequate was the first provision
made for the Astor heir. The guardian
ship will continue until John Jacob is
fourteen years old.
