On the Death il Elder Green

EXTRACT FROM S EsafONAL RECORD OF
FOREST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, SUM-
DAY MORNING, MARCH rs, 1916.
The Session records its sorrow at the
death of Elder Alfred Green, and his
removal from the Councils of our
Church; a man of intense piety and of
deep spiritual life, but we rejoice that
we can say that he died the death of the
righteous and he hath come to his grave
in full age like a shock of corn
cometh in his season.
The Church activities of Elder Green
were manifest in a marked degree at
the Armstrong Chapel both as an or
ganized church and as a Sunday School.
September 80, 1877, he was ordained
Ruling Elder in company with Mr.. G
". Jones, now an Elder in First Presby-
erian Church. Wilmington, by DR.. John
Patton at the Armstrong Chapel, then
known as I'd Forest Church Through
Ill the history Of this work, dating back
% 1870, he has been an interested and
conscientious worker in that part Of the
Lords Vinyard, in winters cold and
summers heat, when great interest was
manifest and at periods of abatement
of interest, he has always been.
the same interchangeable worker ready
md eager to be about the Masters
business. Truly we can say the stamp
If his life was upon that work and his
influence has made an impression upon
he many who have worshiped there in
he passing years; some Of whom now
ceturn from other fields to revisit the
place where in early life their thoughts
we're turned to spiritual things.
Mr.. Green was elected in company
With Thomas A. Jacobs and installed
elders in Forest Church, May 29th,
1910. Both have now been called to
heir reward. Years before his election
as member of this body, his kind dis
position and accommodating manner of
being ready at any time to take the
place of an absent Elder and assist in
the distribution of the elements at the
Communion Services make a sweet
memory of a consecrated christian life.
Truly we can say Of him Blessed are
he dead which die in the Lord, that
hey may rest from their labors and
heir works do follow them "

Willis Y. COLE CASE
ENDS FAVOR DEFENDANT,
New York Supreme Court Reverses
Judgment Of Lower Court In
Christian Science Cause.

A special dispatch to the Christian
Science Monitor from Albany. N. Y.
will be of more than ordinary inter-
est to the public generally and men,
bers of the Church of Christ, Scien-
fist, who have followed the course
of the case at issue, and Is in full as
follows:
1.-THE New York court of appeals,
the highest court in this state, yester-
day handed down a decision applying
10 the practice of Christian Science
and upholding the validity of the fol-
lowing clause in the New York statute
regulating the practice of medicine:
This article shall not be construed to
affect the practice of the religious
tenets of any church, One Of the
judges, speaking only for himself, de-
clared that the legislature would not
have power to make prayer for the
sick crime. The majority of the
court, however, contented themselves
with declaring that the legislature did
not intend to do this, but intended to
recognize the Christian Science
church and its practice of healing the
sick byspiritual means or prayer.
"This case, entitled people Of the
state Of New York versus Willis Yer
non Cole, was begun in 1912 at the
instigation of the New York county
medical society who employed fe-s
male detective to 60 to Mr.. Coles
office in the guise of patient. The
prosecution was in large conducted
by counsel employed by the New York
county medical society, and the evil
dence was furnished by it's witnesses.
In the lower court the first trial
resulted in a disagreement of the
Jury. The second trial resulted In
conviction by reason of peremptory
instructions from the trial judge.
This conviction was upheld by tbs ap-
pellate division of the New York SUI
preme court, although one OF the
judges only partly agreed with the
majority, whilst Justice Bowling filed
a vigorous dissent.
I'm the court of appeals the judy
ments Of the lower court were re-
versed by the decision of all OF the
sitting judges, there being one vac
ancy in the court and one OF tiS'
Judges not sitting or not participating
in the decision. The opinion of the
court was written by Judge Emory A.
Chase Of Catskill.
"Mr. Cole, last night, made the fol-
lowing statement:
".In rendering this decision. the
court of appeals has struck note OF
equity and given a fair deal to Chris
tianity. The great Empire state re-
fuses to make her sons and daugh- |
ters criminals for walking in the foot
stems of Jesus Christi. The command |
Of the Master to heal the sick and
ureaoh the gospel to every living |
creature cannot be annulled. | feel
that this is a victory for the elemen-
tary principle Of liberty, and that ultl-
mately doctors as well as Christian
Scientists will benefit by it. After
all, are we not all brethren%

peals decision will be published In a

A Mystery of the Kernels.

"A Mystery OF the Kernels.
We are ready at last for the fl
nal touch" in judging an ear of
seed corn.
The last point the judge usually
considers is what he calls "purity
of kernels" This sounds rather
technical but what he is really
trying to discover is whether the
ear, if a yellow one, has BEEN
crossed with. white corn; or if it
is an ear of white corn, whether it
has been crossed with a yellow var
iety. This is not very hard to tell.
If the ear is yellow, the kernels
that have been crossed with white
corn have pure white cap or
crown, and these kernels are very
conspicuous because they are sur
rounded by others that are yellow.
You have doubtless seen these
pure white kernels on yellow ears
They show thta pollen from the
tassels of white corn plants, per-
haps in a neighboring field have
been carried into your field by
the wind and that your corn has
been crossed with white Knowing
this, you probably would not care
to use such ears as seeds.
Judging from the above YOU
would suppose that you could
as easily find the mixed kernels
on a white ear of corn, for you
would expect them to have yellow
caps on crowns. This is not the
! case at ALL. When the pollen from
a plant of yellow corn fertilizes a.
kernel of white corn, it does not
make the cap or crown yellow, but
the lower part of the kernel instead
! Why it should work this way
when the cross of white corn on
a yellow ear works the other way,
/ no one knows, but it Is true, and
if you want to know whether all
the kernels on white ear are
/ pure you must "look sharp" down
between the rows. You will often
see the judges doing this at the
corn shows. Very often, too, you
will see the judge put an ear Of
white corn down at the bottom of
! a class Notwithstanding it looks to
/ you like one of the best ones. If
you will look closely in between
the rows, you will generally see
the reason. for you will find that
some Of the kernels are not white
at all. but yellow, below their mid
dies or waist lines
