Nothing equals plenty of stable or
yard manure to make a garden plot
produce the best crops. Garden spe-
clalists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture mean by this not
merely meager scattering over the
surface, but an application about two
inches thick. 1t should be applied in
the fall to form protecting cover dur
ing the winter. II this is done, the
manure should be turned under as
early in the spring rs possible, but any
material too rough to turn under
should be piled in a compost heap to
rot. Only well-rotted manure should
be applied in the spring as top dress
ing. After the land has been plowed,
scatter the rOtted manure over the
surface and work it in with the har-
row. If the garden is spaded the ma
nure should be worked in with a spad-
ing fork or rake.
Elements Sometimes Deficient.
Large quantities of Iif6nure should
be used. On tenth-acre garden, that
Is, one measuring about 1914 feet by
100 feet, apply from one to two tons
two loads-in the fall. If truck Is
used for hauling one load generally
will be sufficient. If a corresponding
amount Is piled up in the autumn with
little sod or soil mixed with ii, and
worked over once or twice during the
winter, it will give a good supply OF
compost for use as spring top dress
Ing.
Where this amount of manure Is
used very little chemical fertilizer is
needed. However, manure very often
does not have sufficient quantity OF
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash In
1t, and II may be desirable to add
commercial fertilizers containing 2 or
3 per cent nitrogen, s or 10 per cent
phOsphOric acid and to 6 per cent
potash, at the rate OF 100 pounds on
a tenth-acre garden. This also can be
spread broadcast and worked into the
soil when the land is being pulverized
ready for planting.
Several crops require special fertil-
iZers. For instance, lettuce, cabbage,
spinach, kale, and In fact all Of the

for greens, need plenty of nitrogen to
make leaf growth. These crops might
well be stimulated during their grow
ing period by little nitrate of soda,
not exceeding ten pounds on a tenth
of an acre at any one application. The
applications should he at least three
weeks apart. 1t should not be applied
within six inches OF the plants or in
too large quantities. or burning will
follow and injure the plants. Fruits
and crops like beans, peas and corn
that are grown FOR their seeds, need
plenty of phosphoric acid. Root crops,
as potatoes, carrots and beets, require
plenty of potash. ...,

plications of lime. However, II may

A Rabbinical Dilemma: To
Preach or Lecture.

Preach or Lecture.
The rabbi of the smaller COM
munity sorely missed cultural
and spiritual fellowship. The
lack of kindred spirits with
whom to commune and ex-
change views, especially con-
corning the way to reach the
hearts of his people, depresses
him greatly. His inner life is
ever in a state of loneliness; for
among those he lives and works
even the genuinely wholesome
soul that is not entirely obsessed
by the humdrum, daily concerns
of life, is rather rare. When
therefore a rabbi visits him, his
tension is greatly relieved. In
deed, the very expectation of a
colleague serves as a tonic, and
his arrival he halls as a holiday.
He feels again in his element.
Views are exchanged, COMPARE
sons made, and experiences OF
common interest are related.
Immediately he invites his
guest to occupy his pulpit next
Saturday, as if wishing him to
repay with a sermon for the lit
tie hospitality he shows him.
And even if the colleague cannot
be persuaded to stay over, the
question uppermost in the
minds of both is, what will you
speak on next Saturday"
Indeed, what will you speak
on?" is the paramount question
the rabbi continually asks him
self. For, while preaching is
not the only concern of the min
lister, his duties being varied and
manifold (as we have seen in
the former essays OF this
series), certainly it is the chief
concern of his calling. What to
preach, then, becomes his alb
sorbing pre-occupation, and
justly so, because the rabbi is
ostensibly the preacher the ex-
FOUNDER of Judaism, the inter-
prefer of the tenets of the syna-
cog, as well as the spiritual ex-
horter of his people. In fact,
Notwithstanding the flippant
and popular appraisals to the
contrary, on a careful analysis,
his standing will be primarily
guaged by the power and eff
cacy of his spoken word, and by
the influence he exerts as the
exponent Of the faith he repre-
sents.
But here a dilemma at once
presents itself to the rabbi.
Shall he make his addresses
largely secular or sermonic
shall he lecture or preach; shall
he speak on the topics of the day
or exhort his people to be faith
full followers of our great spirit
ual heritage? Though apparent
ly a simple matter, it involves

many factors not readily seen on
the surface.
On every hand there is the
cry for the discussion of current
questions from the pulpit. The
laymen (or shall we say the lay
women, because they are in the
majority at the services p, con-
stantly complain that they hear
too much about Moses and
Abraham and the other biblical
characters, and too little about
present-day issues. MAKE your
lectures interesting" they tell
us, land we shall come. Tell us
about the topics of the day, and
we shall hear YOU" Religion,
Judaism, the Bible, have no spe-
cial standing in the courts of the
Lord. And as a result, the pure
ly religious sermon, except on
special occasions, is, to use an
expression of Zangwill, "as rare
as radium." Perhaps the re-
mark of a lady recently made to
the writer best expresses tn.
situation. "Oh, / love Doctor
So and So" she said. "His lee
lures are so wonderful; he never
speaks on religion"
Apparently there is some JUS
LITIGATION on the part of the
laity. They want their spiritual
food diluted in more palatable
a form, as well as in more inter-
esting and digestible guise.
The pills must be sugar-coated.
They want to be entertained
even more than stimulated, en-
lightened rather than spurrea
on to noble endeavor. There
fore the cry for the up-to-date
popular lecture. And the preach
er being only human, and wish
ing to get the ear of his congre-
giants instead of speaking to
empty pews and a few mourn
ers, often falls a victim to the
general demand, and is forced
to bring into the sanctuary all
sorts of subjects relevant and
irrelevant, sacred and secular,
appropriate and inappropriate.
He is compelled to ransack the
fields of literature Especially
fiction and drama), history, So
GEOLOGY, economies and philoso-
ply; in fact, anything under the
sun within popular comprehen-
sion, as if he were omniscient-
a veritable walking encyclope-
dia.
1t is useless to bemoan the
shallowness Of such a demand (;
nor will it help to decry the lack
of genuine religious interest it
betrays. Alas, the popularity
of the modern sermon varies in
inverse ratio to its religious i'm
plications; for the average lay
man is neither sufficiently dis
corning, nor gifted with critical
appraisal. The fine sense Of per-
spective or proportion must not

look--the unitarian view of
life. And the pulpit, perforce,
addresses itself to the generality
of man; it aims to reach the
rank and file of the congrega-
ton who neither can nor will
view with discerment. Ac-
cordingly, the decided prefer
ence for the popular address will
continue to be expressed to the
enhancement of the problem in
the mind of the rabbi.
Historically there is a long
way from the pure sermon to
the popular lecture. A winding
trail runs through its stages.
The sermon in its pristine
purity, based on text from the
Pentateuchal reading of the da,
and preached in the vernacular
on Saturdays and holidays for
religious edifcation, was re-
habilitated with the rise of the
Reform Movement over a CEN
fury ago. 1t was not an innova-
ton of the liberal synagog, but
a restoration, as was amply
proved long ago by Leopold
Zunz to the satisfaction of
scholars. Later, when the Sun
day or late Friday night SER
vices were inaugurated, when
no fixed Bible readings consti-
tuted a part of the worship, the
sermon gave way to the religi-
Gus discourse or address ordi.
narily concerned with a spiritual
or Jewish theme. In due time
it developed into the lecture of
a cultural and moral character,
dealing with social questions
and problems of the age, and
gradually shading into anything
pertaining to the higher life. 1t
was but a step to the popular
lecture, so much in demand now,
whose delimitation as to subject
is rather vague, and whose re-
ligious content, decidedly color
less.
Frequency of speaking, re-
sulting from the spoken word as
the chief feature of the service
"a distinct innovation of the
Reform synagog-necessitated
the enlargement of the scope of
the rabbits discourses. The need
for variety was apparent. The
Jewish temperament aided this
process. The critical nature of
the Jew and his nervous i'm
patience, calls for something
new steadily. The Christian
worshiper may be satisfied with
constant reiteration of the
dogmas of his faith. Not so the
Jew he has no binding creed.
Moreover, whereas the Chris
tian looks to the pulpit for
serenity and guidance in life's
trials, the worshiper of the
synagog wants pulpit power, an
expression on the problems of
life, and considerable stimula-
ton to steady him in his rest
lessness. There is accordingly
greater temptation to extend
the range of the pulpit adj
dresses.
At any rate, the pure sermon
fails to satisfy; even the re-

not please entirely. 1t must be
a popular lecture, yea, and secu-
lar to boot, that is at all appre-
ciated. Is it not a singular fact
that in modern synagog par
lance, every pulpit utterance is
referred to as lecture? Has
this phenomenon any psyche
logical hint? Does it indicate
the state of our religiosity?
Undoubtedly a part of the diff
ficulty may be traced to the fact
that there are virtually innu-
merable preachers today other
than those of the cloth. Many
of the lay readers of society,
men frequently with a vital mes
sage, have taken out a page
from the pulpit, and speak
preacher-like and with the true
sermonic ring. AS a result, the
pulpit nowadays is not the only,
nor even the chief, spiritual in
terpreter of life. The dramatist,
the poet, the essayist, the novel
list, the sociologist, not to speak
of the social reformer, are
habitually holding before the
people the mirror of "the new
heaven and the new EARTH" and
thus feed the higher life of man.
Of this tendency of the age,
even the moderately intelligent
person cannot be unaware, and
he naturally expects the minis
ter to apply the same means for
the edification of life and the
discussion Of individual and So
cial betterment. Accustomed to
the secular spokesman with
their moralizing on the social
and ethical conditions of our
time, the layman finds it strange
to hear the rabbi resort to old
religious sources, and to base d
sermon on biblical and ancient
worthless, for a message to our
own generation.
Moreover the problem is en-
HANGED when we take into con-
sideration that the pulpit of to-
day is not even the leading in
tellectual factor in the commu-
nifty. The diffusion of knowl-
edge, the spread of culture, af-
fects the position and power of
the pulpit. On every hand there
are influences aiming to instruct
and edify. With the ubiquitous
newspaper with its all-wise edi-
torial columns, the theater with
its many-sided analysis of life,
the platform with its popular
lectures on all subjects imagin-
able, and the short story with
its yelled lesson, to mention only
a few of the popularizing We
hicles of information within
reach of all, the minister is at q
loss how to get the ear of his
people. He has to vie with so
many more popular agencies in
order to be heard. He is thus
tempted to adopt the customary
means to convey a message, and
to speak in a secular vein, GER
tain to be understood by all.
Nor must we ignore the ma
terial tendencies in modern life
that initiate against the religi-
GUS message of the preacher.

Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel
young-to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels-there's no need of
having sallow complexion-dark rings
under your eyes-pimples-a bilious
look in your face-dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you
ninety per cent of all sickness comes
from inactive bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, a we'll known physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute for calomel, are gentle in their
action yet always effective. They bring
about that natural buoyancy which all
should enjoy by toning up the liver and
clearing the system of impurities.
