TO IMPROVE HOLY LAND

Among the gigantic schemes for the i'm
provement of the Holy Land is a tunnel
running from the Mediterraneaa to the
Dead Sea. This tunnel, which will be
nearly forty miles in length, will run un-
der Jerusalem, and will be one of the most
wonderful tunnels ever constructed. 1t is
intended to convey water from the Medi-
terranean to the Dead Sea. The latter
sea is now over thousand feet below the
level Of the Mediterranean, with the re-
suit that when the sluices are turned on
there will be strong flow of water to the
Dead Sea. This will be practically like
a thousand feet waterfall, and the rush.
ing water will be used to drive engines
for producing electricity for lighting Jeru-
salem and for supplying electric power
throughout the country. The scheme is
feasible, but is not to be started upon yet
awhile.-Ex.

MEMORIES

Let us forget the things that vexed and
tried us,
The worrying things that caused our
souls to fret;
The hopes that cherished long, were still
denied US,
Let US forget.
Let US forget the little sights that painted US
The greater wrongs that rankle some
times yet;
The pride with which some lofty one dis
dained us,
Let us forget.
Let us forget our brothers fault and failing,
The yielding to temptation that beset,
That he perchance, though grief be un-
availing,
Can not forget.
But blessings manifold, past all deserving
Kind words and helpful deeds, count
less throng,
The fault o'ercome, the rectitude unswerv-
ing
Let US remember long
The sacrifice of love, the generous giving,
When friends were few, the handclasp
warm and strong
The fragrance of each life of holy living,
Let US remember long
Whatever things were good and true and
gracious,
Whate'er of right has triumphed over
wrong,
What love of God or man has rendered
precious,
Let us remember long.

RARE ALTAR-PIECE

The Victoria and Albert Museum in
London acquired recently at the sale of
Lord Swansea's collection, Singleton Alb
hey, complete English altar-piece in ala
baster, dating from the middle or second
half of the Fifteenth Century. Such al
tar-pieces were made in considerable num-
bers from the alabaster quarried, in Derby
shire, and much of the work was done at
Nottingham. They appear to have been
regular articles of export, and certain
number of complete altar-pieces are pre-
served in France and Italy and elsewhere,
but though many separate panels exist in
English public and private collections no
other complete altar-piece, as far as is
known, has been preserved. 1t is in
triptych form, with its original wood
frame painted and decorated with gilt.
The lower border bears inscriptions de-
scribing the subjects of the panels. These
are five in number, and represent the An
nunciation, the Nativity, the Holy Trinity,
the Ascension of Christ, and the Assump-
ton of the Virgin. At the ends of the
wings are figures of St. John the Baptist
and St. John the Evangelist.-Ex.

THANKSGIVING

Come forth, come forth, to the festal board,
AS our sires were won't in the days of
old,
The reapers are home with their harvest
hoard,
The herds have hied to their wintry
fold,
And the cullers of fruit our vaults have
With the wealth of the orchards freight
of gold.
Come forth, come forth, with your heart
felt praise,
To swell the songs at the affairs side,
For lofty paaen to God we raise,
Who hath scattered His love gifts free
and wide,
And still, from the wan earth's earliest
days
His seed-time and harvest hath not
denied.
We hallow the day as our fathers did,
With mingling of gladness and praise
and prayer,
With willing boon for the lowliest shed,
That the hungry and poor in our thanks
may share,
And the scantiest table be freely spread,
And the lip of the mourner blessing
bear.
For the sons of the feeble pilgrim band
Who first on distant rock-bound bay
Gave thanks for the gifts of the teeming
Have spread over mountain and stream
away
And song of praise shall to God ascend
From myriad of burning lips to-day.
Come forth, come forth, with the Ginning
bell,
A joyous throng to the affairs side,
Come mingle your tones with the organs
swell,
And, where the door of the feast stands
wide
Let the grey-haired sire to his grandchild
A tale of our nations grateful pride.

Agricultural Association Of

osition. =.

Chicago, Dec. IS. - Cooperative
marketing as an economic measure,
securing a higher return for farm pro-
ducts, and working toward stabilized
market conditions, is one Of the most
important problems now being worked
U by the Illinois Agricultural asso-
citation. Organizations for pooling the
sale of the farmers output are now
fupctioning for grain, livestock. milk
ana wool and plans are now being
worked out to extend these marketing
methods to all sections of Illinois. Sim
liar methods are also being followed
in practically every other state Of the
middle west.
The need of a system Of marketing
which would eliminate the hazard Of
extreme fluctuations in the grain
market caused a conference last July
representing grain organizations from
called by. the American Farm Bureau
Federation: and resulted in appoint
men of a committee of II to outline
a plan Of anization. At a meeting
yesterday, subcommittee which have
been studying special phases of the
problem, will report a plan outlined
for submission to the organizations.
Contrary to popular opinion in the
cities, farmers did not. as a class,

A similar conference of organization
representatives was held on livestock

soon be appointed to outline a plan
for marketing livestock. The confer.
