q New York.-Uncle Sam will soon
be conducting great classes in reading
the Psalms almost at the feet of the
Statue Of Liberty. The pre-war prac-
tice of examining all immigrants who
come by steerage at Ellis island has
been restored.
More than 100 men and women
will read from the Psalms there daily,
and Miss Liberty, who stands stones
throw from the island slip, could hear
If she were incarnate.
Reading from the Psalms is the lit
eracy test for admission to this country.
which went into effect in May, 1917,
and is now receiving its first real trial
because immigration during the war
was small. The law provides that an
immigrant, with few exceptions,
must be able to read from thirty to
forty words in any language he or she
desires. The department Of labor de-
vised the Psalm as the fairest for all.
immigration inspectors are equipped
with cards in all languages. with
verses from the Psalms printed on
them. All types Of script are repre-
sented-German, Arabic, Hebrew, JAP
anese, Russian, and so on-except
Chinese, for that nationality Is not
permitted to immigrate.
Lest any alien learn, parrot-like the
verse of the Psalm that friend IN
this country had to read, the 1nspec-
tors have at least 40 different verses
I'm each language, one verse to card.
;, Primary examination at the island
will require many more employees.
immigration authorities have estimat-
ed it will take 100000 more annual
" to increase the force to proper
size as we'll as to raise salaries OF
present employees so that skilled
workers will not leave the service Tor

to erect a church in every center Of
Baptist work.. III
1.-THE people Of Japan are ready to
listen to the gospel" recent report of
the field survey committee Of the
Northern Baptist Convention says.
''Their faith in the old religions is
broken. But the gospel must be PIE
scented to. them by men Of their own
race who are competent to present It
in a strong, intelligent way. We must
have thoroughly trained Japanese lead
ers and pastors who can command at
tention." f..
Careful consideration is being given
the housing of the Christian church in
Japan so as to win the respect Of the
people. "A rented store in a side street
does not command the respect Of the
Japanese any more than it does Of the
Italians in New York." the report
states. "Our fine institutional church
building, the Tabernacle in Tokyo,
ought to be duplicated at every impor-
tant center, and attractive, dfgnifed
houses Of worship should be erected at
every other point"
The Baptists are endeavoring so far
as possible to develop complete inde-
pendence Of the Japanese churches, un'
der their own leaders.

TOP GRATING IN ORCHARDS
scions Need Not BE Cut From Trees
Until Just Before Work 10 to
Be Performed.

When one is going to do top graft
ing in an orchard with scions from
ones own orchard, the scions need
not be cut from the trees until just
before the work is 10 be done, unless
the grating is delayed. If this is the
case, the scions should be cut while
still dormant and kept in a cool place
until needed. When trees are root
grated in the winter the scions are
cut in late autumn when the wood Is
thoroughly matured. and stored in for
est leaves or sand in cool cellar un-
til needed. They must be kept plump,
and usually there is sufficient mois-
ture in the leaves and in the sand to
keep them so without watering.

In and out among the hundreds Of
small islands in the Sea Of Japan lit
tie white ship threads its way on new
er ending cruise Of Christianity. It is
the Church Of the Fukuin Maru, and it
carries the gospel message to thou
sands who could not be reached in any
other way.
The ship, like the itinerant preacher
and the circuit rider Of the old days,
makes port in lonely out Of the way
places. It dispenses hospitality that
might well be envied by American
churches with better advantages. Ma
lives flock to hear the messages deliv-
cred oneits deck.
The Fukuin Maru is the only floating
Baptist church in the world, and it Is
regarded by members Of that denomi-
nation as one Of the most unique ef-
forts Of the Christian missionary move
ment. For years it was commanded by
Captain Luke Bickel, who recently
died, and now the Northern Baptists
are endeavoring to find a captain
preacher who will take his place.
There are 80 churches Of the Baptist
faith In Japan, with a total member
ship Of 1851. Plans have already been
outlined, however, for the building Of
Is new churches Immediately and later
