Wonders of Palm
At Palisade Church

The Palisade Union Church enioyed
last Sunday the presence of a young
minister from New York, Rev. Ingbam
of the Calvary Methodist Church. His
text was from the Ninety-second
Psalm, The righteous shall flourish
like the palm tree" Taken as
whole the sermon was one of the most
highly interesting heard in Palisade
for many months, and was replete
with fine religious thought, and educa-
ton value as we'll He asked if it had
ever occurred to any that all promises
of the Bible are conditional. Every
promise made in the Bible had some
thing attached. God will give this or
do that fife who believes shall have
eternal life-another promise, being
conditioned upon belief If we are
not bringing forth good fruit, we shall
not prosper If we meet the conditions
God wants, We shall succeed. What
Is righteousness if the promise is to
be won? Shall we look at it mega
lively? Is it to be members of the
church? No; merely to be clothed in
outer garments will not make us in
wardly what we should be. We can
not say because we are philanthropic
That we are righteous. We cannot
say that We are righteous because we
nave been converted. Righteousness
IS more than conversion More than
repentance. But think: Have all your
thoughts been pure and Godlike? Then
can you say you are righteous But
if you are like l am, you can only
say that you have left undone those
things you should have done. You fail
in the righteous spirit. So, righteous
ness is merely doing right as Jesus
Christ would have us do it. Daniel
Webster was once asked his definition
of Christianity, and he replied: IAN
old aunt of mine in the New Hamp-
shire hills" He had seen that old
aunt living righteousness. The right
eous, they who are doing it, shall
flourish as the palm tree
The speaker then told of the real
meaning of the smile used in the
text, Thou shall flourish as the palm
tree" He gave the history of the, palm,
and told of its DID uses for mans
benefit. His description of the won
ders of the palm were illuminating
and entertaining to the last degree.

Old Man Commits
Suicide in a Tree

A we'll dressed old man, apparently
about seventy years of age, hit upon a
most unusual method of ending his
life Tuesday afternoon when he com
mitted suicide in the Palisades woods
at Englewood Cliffs.
From papers ON his clothes, found
by County Detective Dawson, the dead
man is evidently Karl Richter of Ire
mont, Sullivan county, n. Y.
The man climbed tree to a height
of 30 feet, using a pair of homemade
lineman's spurs. These he took off
after his climb and tied them to a
limb of the tree. He hung his hat and
coat on a. higher limb and then tied
his revolver to a branch and fastened
the other end around his neck.
The purpose seemed to be to make
doubly sure, the unbalanced man con-
GLIDING, presumably, that in the event
the bullet in his head did not result
fatally he would at least fall from his
perch and be hanged The bullet pass
ed through his brain and caused in
slant death, but in falling the strap
broke and he landed head first on Il
large boulder, crushing his skull.
A passport, an alligator skin pocket
book, in which was new ten dollar
bill, were found in his clothes.
The remains are at McNally'S
morgue, Fort Lee, awaiting the action

DEW HAS VITALIZING EFFECT
Abundant Proof That It Possesses In
viooratino Action That Affects
Growth Of Plants.

Dew is vitalizing, not entirely be-
cause 1t Is water but because 1t pos
sesses an invigorating action due part
ly at any rate to the fact that It is
saturated with oxygen, and 1t has been
stated that during Its formation per-
oxide of hydrogen and some ozone are
developed. 1t is not improbable that
the peculiarly attractive and refresh
Ing quality that marks the early-morn-
ing air has its origin in this way. The
difficulty of inducing grass to flourish
under n tree in full leaf Is well known
and is generally explained by saying
that the tree absorbs the nourishing
constituents of the soil or that 1t keeps
the sunlight away from the grass and
protects 1t from rain. 1t is doubtful
whether any of these explanations is
true. the real reason most probably
being that the vitalizing dew cannot
form upon the grass under a tree.
whereas as a rule both rain and light
can reach 1t.
