PAUL KANAMON |S
 ID SPEAK HERE

This wonderful man. called '"rhe Moody of Japan" is in Birmingham to- day and will speak both morning and evening at the South Highlands Presby- Steran church. Highland avenue, at Srwenty4first street
 s MT. Kanaxnon is distinguished tpreacher.Ai He was converted to Chris stfanity while student at a govern nent military school. which was being conducted by Captain James. United States army officer, who had been re- quested by a Japanese prince for this purpose.
 The story of his conversion is inter- esting, and will be told at the morning hour. His education was completed un- der direction of Japans greatest scholar Joseph Hardy Neejuinia. whom Kama mon succeeded as head of the Doshisha university, Tokyo.
 After preaching and teaching for some years, Kanamon fell victim to German rationalistic criticism, and for 90 years gave up the ministry. During this time, he was featuring for the Japanese gov ernment on economies, thrift and other subjects, travelling and speaking over all the empire. The death of his Christian wife, leaving him with nine me sherless CnuQTeU, Was liic IlediiS Ol ptulSitS Ill'h back to His faith. This story is unpar- elleled and will be told at the morning service.
 Kanamon Is splendidiy educated. 8 graduate of both his own and European universities. is an author of distinction, and speaks English fluently.
 Since his restoration to faith, he has given himself entirely to the preaching of the gospel to his countrymen, hav- ing reached over s00,0Oo in few years. and having seen more than 30.000 come out of heathenism into confession of Christ and Christianity. His method is peculiar, in that he breaches to his owrI people, only one sermon and that is three hours long, and in which he cov- CTS the great subjects of God, sin and salvation. This sermon has been pub lished in both Japanese and English and constitutes his sole preaching among his fellow Japanese.
 This man should be heard by all who can by any means arrange to hear him.
 Besides the two services at the South Highlands church, he will speak at 3:3o D. m at the Vine Street Presbyterian church, Vine and Cotton avenue.

Cultivate Young Trees

Fruit trees should be cultivated during the growing season as carefully as corn is cultivated The soil should be pulver- ized to conserve the moisture and to pre- vent the growing of grass and weeds. Hoe the soil immediately around the trunk, which cannot be cultivated by horse cultivation. This cultivation should cease the middle or latter part of July. This will give the tree time to harden. Ceasing cultivation will cause the tree to stop growing and prevent it from going into winter in a soft, succulent condition, which would cause winter killing. An application of barnyard manure near the tree but no immediately around the trunk is beneficial to it's growth.
