An effort is on foot to coordinate
all the citrus organizations and in

j. S. Cameron, secretary of the I'M

meeting of the Imperial Valley Cit
rus Association will probably be
held in week or ten days, and the
matter of combining the various in
tercsts and the program for fall ac-

The main purpose of consolidate
ing the citrus organizations into
one association is to eliminate com
petition among the fruit growers.
This will enable the valley growers
to present one brand of fruit to the
trade, which will be well known for
its high grade quality everywhere.

Church Controyerny

Now that Mr.. Porterfleld has got 1t
all out of his system, hope he feels
better.
The writer having read church his
tory for twenty-five years had hoped
to get historical treat from the series
on fundamentalists and modernists
but was disappointed. Evidently Mr..
Porterfield confined his historical re-
search to reading commentaries writ
ten by higher critics. This could cas-
lily be proved by any real historian.
But why argue with a blind man
about the color of a thing2 Why dis
pute with a deaf man about the sound
OF a thing? However. / cannot refrain
from calling attention to a few things:
/. The story of Jonah and the fish
at which he is wont to mock, and
which has long been a favorite target
for the skeptics. was referred to by
Christ as a fact. LAS Jonah was three
days and three nights in the whales
belly. so shall the son Of man be
three days and three nights In the
heart OF the earth. Matthew, XII,

the world is round or fiat Therefore
there is no contention between Gallileo

Mr.. Perteraeld exposes his ignorance

ception OF Christ by the overshadow--

birth are plain statements OF facts IN
the New Testament Luke I, 26 to IS.
The "Modernists," being aware that
the people generally are not familiar
with the Scriptures. are deliberately
seeking to mislead them by telling
them that these New Testament state
