SermOnettes on Serious Subjects--NO
Goods Remedyf or Sin.
(By Jno. A. Brunson) .

II silver were driven into your
hand and allowed to remain, infia-
nation would be quickly set up. The
hand would swell, assume an angry
look. and become painful. And the
/ sensible thing for you to do would
not be to apply palliation in the hope
vi dsSuaglhS the pain, but to remove
the sllVer. The silver is the cause of
the trouble. Remove it, and the dis
tresslng symptoms Will disappear.
Sin is the moral silver that has
been driven into the human heart. It
has disturbed the original relation
| ship, of harmony that existed between
man and God. 1t has alienated man
/ from God, and has caused him to be-
come vain in his reasonings 1t
awakens in him false sense of inde-
pendence, and leads him to imagine
that he is capable of conducting the
affairs of the world apart from God 8
guidance and help. And having sepa-
rated him from God, it exposes him
to all manner of sinister suggestions.
and often induces him to harbor evil
thought sand to conceive dark de-
signs. Sin has produced all the
problems that now confront us. War
with it's aftermath is of sin. Bolshe-
vism that threatens to destroy the
peace and prosperity of the world is
its product. Industrial disputes with
their strikes and lockouts are a part
or its fruitage. Dishonesty, decep-
tiveness, and elusion arise from it,
Sickness and suffering, decay and
death come in its wake. And last but
not least it brings eternal condemna-
ton.
Man cannot provide any remedy for
sin. He is helpless. His schemes of
social reform are not q remedy. His
efforts to democratize all the relations
Of life will not avail Nor is his edu-
cational work at all adequate. These
are only palliatives. The silver re-
mains. The power of sin in the hu-
man heart must be broken before re-
lief can be had. And God alone can
do that. The remedy is with God.
he has already provided it. It is

New Jersey Must Look Out Or Be
Burnt Out

State Fire Warden C. P. WILDER
states that the usual period of dry
weather now prevailing has created a
serious Statewide forest fire hazard.
Fires have become numerous and
many of them have gotten to serious
size before they could be controlled
because of the drought and high
winds. Greater care than ever is
urged upon smokers when in or near
the woods and special caution is
given against all use of fire for brush
or rubbish disposal, for camping or for
any other purpose until general rain
relieves the situation. If the drought
continues and fires keep up, it will be-
come necessary to issue instructions
to all fire wardens to stop issuing per-
mits, thereby stopping all use of fire,
until the weather conditions make its
use more safe. Everybody, residents
and transients, + urged to pass by
no fire in the woodlands without call
ing the attention of some responsible
person to its presence or being as
sured that the fire wardens are at
work on it.
Under fire control the forests of
New Jersey are improving in every
way. An appeal to the public on their
behalf is now made.

State Forester GaskiII is striving to

State Forester Gaskill is striving TO
reassure the owner of shade trees
thIuout tie State, who have observed
an unusual failure of the foliage. that
there is no new, or serious, disease
about, and no particularly dangerous
insect attack-apart from the gypsy
moth infestation blighted a fungus
(Gnomonia v~eneta) that appears every
few years, vet little permanent harm
has been, or Is likely to be, done.
Most Of the trouble is found with
heavy foliage trees, especially sugar
maple, Norway maple, and beech. An
early spring following an open winter
has multiplied the lice that always ap-
pear and thereby caused some whiting,
but the greater part of the failures
are due to an exceptional development
Of foliage and the consequent inabil-
ity Of the usual impoverished soil to
sustain the trees in normal vigor,
The current drought is adding to the
distress of trees thus weakened.
Continued lack of care may cause
many of these suffering trees to be
lost; most of them can be saved by
observing the following:
/. nave lle IedNy Garage CuICdli-
ed by removing one-quarter to one
third of the interior branches. The
ends of the outer branches should not
be cut.
?. Open up the soil beneath each
tree and fortify it with a fertilizer
composed of two parts of nitrate
soda, three parts acid phosphate, ten
parts woods ashes, two parts ground
bone. Apply this mixture at the rate
of 112 pounds to each 100 square feet
of ground surface. Do not apply it
between July l and January l, and do
not allow grass to grow on the footing
until the tree has fully recovered.
8. Unless rain keeps the ground
moist, let that beneath each shade
tree be soaked once a week. Ordinary
sprinkling does little good.
Remember always that a shade tree,
especially one on a city street, cannot
be kept in health without a little care.

LOST GOVERNMENT JOBS

Washington, where the government

the tomb of thousands of possible young
men, 1t has been one of the traditions,
surviving from lost past, that a gov

The clerk had steady pay, little work
and short hours. Once in Washington
the doors of the future closed on the
appontee. He becam machine, usual
ly an utterly unintellieent one. The
easiness of the Job softened him; his
leisure bored him. He lost contact with
his old home. Even the member who
had him appointed forgot him. And
every additional month he stayed in
Washington made it so much more inn
possible for him to return to his old BUSH
