ROME CROP
RECORD MADE
G. D. Russell of Tacoma has
Fine Apple Crop First
Year in Kennewick

About 1000 packed boxes of
Romes from 1889 loose boxes,
raised on less than three acres of
land is the record this year of G.
D. Russell, who came here this
year from Tacoma Mr.. Russel
has between 13 and Ia acres of
Jonathans, Romes, and Winesaps
in the Highlands.
"This orchard was badly worm
infested when / came here in the
spring." Mr.. Russell said Tuesday.
''The county horticulturist has
been of great help to me. / follow
ed his instructions carefully but
contribute most of the success
and cleanliness of my orchard to
the constant use of moth traps.
In one trap, which hung 4S hours,
there were 81 moths"
Mr.. Russell used a home made
moth trap consisting of a pan,
hung from the trees by wires, and
a mixture of malt, yeast, and
water in the pans.
The Winesaps which Mr.. Rus
sell is picking now are running
about 20 loose boxes to the tree.

BURN RUBBISH
WARNING OF
FIRE CHIEF
Alleys and Easements Should
be Cleaned Out as Part Of
Local Program for Fire
Prevention w e e -Gray-
enslund.

Rubbish in the alleys and base
ments should be cleaned out as
part of the local program for Fire
Prevention week." w. R. Gravens-
lund, fire chief stated yesterday.
Fire Prevention week, which aims
to center public interest upon the
things people should practice all
year to make America safer
against fire, is arranged by the
National Board of Fire Under
writer's and is being celebrated all
over the country Oct. 7-13.
ssIt is timely to call attention
to the fact that Kennewick ranks
9th for fire risk in a classification
of 10", Chief. Gravenslund said.
"It is not the fire departments
equipment, which gives the city it's
low rating, but the dire need of a
24-hour paid man on the fire de-
partment. IT is also essential that
the ordinance requiring fire proof
buildings only to be erected must
be strictly maintained or local fire
rates will go even higher"
The national fire loss for 1927
was 47s,245,620, according to fig
ures compiled by the Actuarial
Bureau. This sum represents an
increase of almost three times the
fire loss of Is years ago. On the
average there is a fire every min
ute of every day somewhere thru
out the length and breadth of the
country.

men, because of their refusal to take the
new oath, were called non-jurors. But
there were bishops among them who had
received regular ordination and were
entitled to pass 1t on. They were IN
good standing according to canon law.
BY these men Seabury was duly con-

that Seabury try to persuade the Ameri-

an aspect was maintained as being a
necessary and vital part of the religion
Of the weak and ignorant. Small sects,
which rose up outside the church from
time to time with messages of faith
healing. were considered expressions of
unsettled mentality.
'It can truly be said that there does
exist a large number of legends SO
puerile In character that they should
be forever separated from anything
that approaches Christian teaching.
There has been little question as to the
insanity of some who carried these
faith-curing ideas beyond the bounds
of common sense. But there is much
that is true In the records of the church
and much that is true in the results
which certain great faith healers have
produced.
THE eye of faith Is able to trace an
unbroken expression of the gift of heal
ing in the name of Christ and through
faith from the time of the apostles to
the present day. The faithful Chris
tian has no place in his mind for The
heresy that the days OF healing miracles
are past. During the past few years
this belief has been greatly strength
sned by the unusual support given to
1t in the purely intellectual world. Stu
dents of psychology have accepted the
great fact of the miracles Of healing to
the extent that in many quarters it Is
being over-emphasized."
Christ Performed rs Miracles.
Christ, 1t is pointed out by the Rev.
A. j. Gaynor- Banks, present director
of the society and former Washing
ton clergyman, performed 26 miracles
including the raising of the dead, and
the exact methods used, as related in
the New Testament. are worthy of
study by spiritual healers. In three of
these-the healing Of the dumb de-
moniac at Capernaum, of the dropsical
man at Jerusalem and of the blind and
dumb man at Galilee-there is no rec
ord of what He did and said. In three
cases the person healed was not I'm the
immediate presence of the Healer. In
two cases, the healing was accom-
plished merely by gesture. In only
one case He simply assured the patient
that the disease had departed. There
are seven cases. including the raising of
Lazarus, OF the widows son and OF
Jairus' daughter. where Christ did not
refer to the illness or condition OF the
patient but merely directed doing some
thing which implied restored life or
health Six other cases. including all
those of blindness. show the combining
Of words with gestures. In three cases
a command, addressed not to the pa
tient but to the disease, accomplished
the miracle. In only one case, that OF
the healing OF deaf and dumb man, a
direct command was accompanied by a
gesture.
Method Declared Employed.
I'm proportion to the obstinacy or
deep-Seated character of the disease"
Rev. Mr.. Banks says, the method which
Jesus employed became more direct and
forcible These observations convince
us that Jesus did not work in a hap
hazard fashion, deciding His method on
the spur of the moment, but. on the
contrary worked along the line of
method which was very well defined In
His own mind and to which He ap-
peAred to attach some significance. We
may even assume that He applied some
sort Of law to the healing OF disease
and that He exerted his power along
the lines INDICATED By the law"

Did healing miracles-the curing of
organic pathological conditions by
word, prayer of gesture, without any
sppreciable time interval-end with the
passing of the apostles.
large body of Episcopal communi-
cants, including some prominent ply
sicians as well as clergymen, believe
otherwise. Their position will be pre-
sented extensively and intensively at
the annual convention here next week
of the Society of the NaZarene. Evil
dence of actual cures will be given and
its analysis invited
Throughout the centuries of the
Christian era there have been contin-
ually recurring instances of sudden
cures affected by religion. Whole cults
have made this the corner stone of their
faith. Orthodox physicians, however,
have been chary of accepting the evi-
dence. When such cases were exam
ined intensively it usually was found
that they might well have been func-
tional rather than organic and hence
durable by an emotional shock. Many
OF the miracles of the New Testament
dealt with physical difficulties which
probably were functional.
But others, such as the cures Of
leprosy hardly can be included In this
category. Someting happened for
which there is no easy neurological ex-
planation. The healing apparently was
effected by the Intervention of some
force which could bring about organic
changes but which has defied scientific
efforts to isolate 1t.
Approached With Open Mind.
The Society of Nazarene approaches
the whole problem with an open mind.
1t seeks to study the great body of
evidence at hand on its strict merits,
and has built up no cult or school OF
healing. Its leaders realize that
malady may be both functional and or
ganic at the same time--a broken arm,
for instance, creating mental depres-
sion which in turn sets up functional
disturbances which operate to delay the
normal m q ding of the break The op-
timism which results from religious
faith tends to prevent just such de-
presSions
They have, certainly, no quarrel with
the physician. st. Luke, the physician
evangelist, Is their patron. They seek
to have medical men cooperate with
them and to cooperate In their turn.
But the society has, nevertheless, a
deeper purpose than merely to study
methods of improving and Frightening
the mental outlook of the patient while
he is being treated on an organic dag
nosis. The leaders have. they believe,
increasing evidence that the body can
be reached directly through the soul.
Apparently incurable conditions can be
cleared up by prayer and the laying on
of hands. They ask only consideration
Of the actual cases.
Endorsed by Churches.
Many churches have indorsed the
work of the NaZarenes and the indt-
vidual churchmen have included such
notable leaders as the present Arch
bishop OF York and Bishop Manning of
New York. The society was founded
in 1909 at Boonton. N. j., by the local
rector, Rev. H B. Wilson, for the pur-
pose of restoring the use OF prayer as
1t was practiced by the early church.

1t is the first time that holders Of any,

not the representative OF a national

anxious year in fruitless negotiation be-

There were in Scotland at this time
two Episcopal communions, each with
its bishops. One was in cordial relation
with the Church of England. The other

by the churchmen who had declined to

to william of Orange. These church,

I binary improvements taking place from
his miniStrations. Bishop Manning OF
New York sponsored the idea. In 1919
James Moore Hickson. a layman, came
from London with letters from the
established Church of England attest
ing the spiritual cures accomplished
through laying on OF hands and prayer.
Bishop Manning's acceptance OF Mr..
Hickson opened the doors of the most
exclusive religious edifices In America
to the visitor.
Among the places where he appeared
was the Washington Cathedral. The
efficacy of his work here is attested by
Mrs. Florence Bratenahl, wife OF the
dean of Washington Cathedral, who in
sists that both herself and her son were
cured of long-Standing ailments in
simultaneously. The child had made an
imperfect recovery FROM influenza,
which left him In a condition that, Mrs
Bratenahl testif1es, defied some of the
most notable local specialists. First The
little boy refused to eat. The progress
of the case is dscribed by Mrs. Bra
tenahl as follows:
Fluctuating Temperature.
every 10 days there was a return
Of temperature around 104, followed in
48 hours by sudden drop to 96. This
occurred with clocklike and uncanny
regularity. 1t was almost impossible TO
feed him. Every meal was struggle
of an hour or more. Then suddenly,
to our dismay, the fever began to come
back every five days instead Of the
To-day period. 1t was around lo4 each
time"
Nine specialists were consulted. in
cluding several from Johns Hopkins
University. All these sought in vain
for local infection OF some kind. 1t
was suggested that it might be a mild
case of the dreaded spinal meningitis
Some improvement was effected by
quinine.
When Mr. HickSon'S service In the
Cathedral Chapel was announced the
parents felt that they could not take
the baby there because he was GER
tain to create a disturbance by scream
ing. They compromised by waiting IN
the yard near the north entrance Of
the chapel used by the clergy and choir
boys, through which the healer would
pass. When he came they held a
service In the chapel yard, Mr.. Hick-
son holding the baby in his arms. The
child, Mrs. Bratenahl says, apparently
was absolutely cured by this service.
She herself was suffering from phle-
bits of long standing, which disap-
peared entirely, to the amazement OF
her physician. after the service which
followed In the chapel.
"X-Ray Hand"
Writing to Mr.. Hickson, Mrs. Brate-
nahl said: II had noticed your hands
when they were In place on Alexander's
head at that first little service. So far
as / could observe there was nothing
about them that marked them as un-
usual In any way. but when they were
laid on my head they seemed different.
l remember thinking: What beautiful
hands. They are luminous. / can see
the light through them like X-ray
hands,"
Prominent medical men naturally are
divided as to the efficacy Of these cures
where they apparently have affected
organic troubles. One of the most
notable testimonials of the work is
that given by Dr. Richard S. Cabot OF
the ssa& Of ths Massachusetts, General

Immediately afterWard he settled down
as a clergyman in Connecticut. In
1888. the year in which peace was pro-
claimed, 10 of the IA clergy of that

they imposed the seal of secrecy on all
who attended the meeting. They de-

possible, from an English bishop. Fall

Moses Against Invasion of ! Territory-Has Sug-
 gestions, However

NEW YORK, July 27.--United States Senator George Moses. Vice-Chairman of the Eastern Republican Advisory Committed, is opposed to the invasion of the solid South for the purpose of se- curing electoral votes for Hoover because he believes it Is useless.
 Senator Moses said: '1t is a long time before election and there is time enough for fervid passion to cool off. I have no great illusion as to our ability to break up the solid south, much as l desire to see it done."
 Senator Moses said his advice was to concentrate on the Con gressional campaign in certain sections of the South, then if we find ground for optimism we may expand and go after bigger game"
 Commenting on enrolment of former Senator Owen, of Okla homa, in the Hoover ranks, Sen ator Moses said the Oklahoman $ Reflection to the Republican Par ty might have been due to the persuasive power of his wife.
