Watch Night
Questions Answered

WHEN is WATCH NIGHT? is the
last night of the old year, and is so call
led from the custom of watching" the
|old year out and the new year in. A
watch night gathering is a meeting
ostensibly for the same purpose.
ARE WATCH NIGHT MEETINGS. Com
MoN?-Yes, there are many such meet
lngs, but comparatively few like those
OF the old revival days of half-centurv
or more ago, when Gods people met,
mot for Social hour, NOT to COM
Ipllment themselves or one another on
their own progress or the progress of
the church or the world, but to humble
themselves before God, confessing the
sins of the church as we'll as their own
and imploring His forgiveness and con-
tlnued favor; also earnestly beseeching
his presence in revival power. And it
was only when these and similar meet
lngs died GU that the spirit of revival
died out in the church at large.
Is 1T POSSIBLE TO REVIVE THE oLDEN
TYPE OF WATCH NIGHT MEETINGs?-Itis
under God. The need IS GREAT. There
should be such meeting in EVERY
evangelical church throughout the
world; or if not in every church, at
least in one or more Christian homes in
EVERY community. Three years ago
the writer knew of only two such meet
ings, where revival was the SUPREME
OBJECT OF PRAYER. Two years ago
there were hundreds of these meetings
and year ago thousands. This year
the number should be tens or thousands

or three or all night the Holy Spirit
will guide as to this The lumber Of
persons is immaterial-"fo where two
or three are gathered together in My

Matt. 1920. The matter of VITAL
IMPORTANCE is that THE HOLY
SPIRIT be the recognized Leader of

for prayer and supplication, with

clared DR.. S. w. Fletcher, of the
PENNSYLVANIA Agricultural Col
iege. in an address before the
Frederick County Fruit Growers
and Farmers Association here.
DR.. Fletcher was formerly head
Of the Virginia Experiment Sta
tion at Blacksburg and is thor
ssughly familiar with horticulture
conditions. He alluded to the
Blue Ridge country" as those
portions of Virginia, West Va,
and Marylaud and Pennsylvania
Ia which apples are grown com.
merciallv, or what the Govern
ment refers to as the Shenandoah
Cumberland district.
The State of Washington. he
said. had advanced to second
place in the number of trees and
first in production this year. The
spple industry in Washington
has reached its peak. The GEN.
sus of 1920 will place it below N.
York. Virginia and Pennsylvania
because the enterprise is more
speculative there thar here.
Mean while. Pennsylvania, Va,
Maryland and West Virginia
have continued to plant in a con-
servative manner. The present
rank in number OF bearing apple
trees is: New York, 1896, 69S;
Warrington, 1864, 1e7; Virginia,
7.38s.277. and Pennsylvania, g.
9Sl, l28. The rank in number of
trees not yet in bearing age, how
ever, is quite different. 1 am
other decade or two at the most.
either Virgi ia or PENNSYLVANIA
will wrest the leadership from
New York.

after Z little good natured rivalry
take off our hats to Winchester
