Reality" was the subject of the

Among the citations which COM
prised the Lesson-Sermon was the
following from the Bible: I'm the
beginning was the Word and the
Word was with God, and the Word
was God. .... All things were
made by him: and without him
was not anything made that was
made" John /: /, p. The Les
son-Sermon also included the fol-
lowing passages from the Chris
tan Science textbook, Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures,
by Mary Baker Eddy: God Gre
ates all forms of reality. His
thoughts are spiritual realities.
So-called mortal mind-being non
existent and consequently not
within the range of immortal ex-
istence-could not by stimulating
deific power invert the divine Gre
alton, and afterwards recreate
persons and things upon its own
plane, since nothing exists beyond
the range of all-inclusive infinity
in which and of which God is the
sole creator. (p. 513-514.

PROGRESS IN FOREST WORK
Meeting of Commission Held Last
Week at Dover

At a meeting of the State
Forester held at Dover on
Thursday, the Governor and two
other members were present as
well as w. S. Taber, State fores-
ter. State Forester Taber report
ed that the Department Forest
Tree Nursery, located along the
DUPONT Road south of Milford, has
a total of 135 nursery beds of for
est planting stock consisting of
transplants, one and two-year-oId
seedlings which are ready for dis
tribution to forest tree planters in
the State. From returns of the
stock inventory now being made at
the nursery, there will be an ample
supply of loblolly pine for distri-
button. Those desiring stock, how
ever, are advised to place their or
ders with the department at an
early date. The State forest which
was practically a gift to the de-
partment from Coleman DUPONT,
has recently been surveyed and all
corners marked with concrete
posts. Woodlot examinations made
since the last meeting of the COM
mission were as follows: Municipal
Forest at Arden; property of N.
M. Yoder, near Dover, and proper
ty of r. E. Wiley, Greenwood. In
all cases, advice on the methods of
handling the woodlots to produce
better and more rapid growth were
given. In one case an effort is be-
ing made to locate favorable
market for some fine white oak
trees which the owner wishes to
harvest. Mr.. Taber explained that
it was his hope to develop in the
department a clearing house SER
vice for all ginds of Delaware for
est produces. The department has
laid off several sample plot areas
in the planted forests, near Mid
dletown. These plots are to be
used as basis from which, by
measurement of the trees, accur-
ate growth date on the species.
