subject of the lesson-sermon will
be probation After Death" in all
Churches of Christ, Scientist.
Golden Text: Ezekiel 1928. Have
I any pleasure at all that the wick
ed should die? saith the Lord God:
and not that he should return from
his ways, and live? Among the
citations which comprise the les
son-sermon is the following from
the Bible: Psalms 81: 2, Z. Wash
me thoroughly from mine iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin.
Purge me with hySSop, and shall
be clean; wash me, and I shall be
whittier than snow. The lesson
sermon also includes the following
passages from the Christian Sci
ence textbook, Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" by
Mary Baker Eddy: If the change
called death destroyed the belief in
sin, sickness, and death, happiness
would be won at the moment of
dissolution, and be forever per-
manent; but this is not so. Per-
fection is gained only by perfec-
tion. They who are unrighteous
shall be unrighteous still, until in
divine Science Christ, Truth, re-
moves all ignorance and sin. The
sin and error which possess us at
the instant of death do not cease
at that moment, but endure until
the death of these errors. To be
wholly spiritual, man must be sin
less, and he becomes thus only
when he reaches perfection"

4 4 percent rotenone content is
common.
A dust which is an effective con-
trol for these beetles may be made
bv diluting 16 parts Of four per
cent derris powder with "a parts
(bv weight) of one of the follow
ing: clay, tale, kaolin, flour, gyp-
sum. tobacco dust, earth or some
other non-alkaline material. Hy-
drafted lime should never be used.
This dust well contain about eight
tenths of one per cent rotenone
and is a good garden insect dust.
1T is easily mixed. Magesium ar
enate or cryolite may be used un-
til the bean pods begin to form.
AL that time the control should be
changed to derris or cube spray or
dust to prevent arsenical residue.
Cabbage Insects
Cabbage Worm - Derris as a
spray or dust is satisfactory for
cabbage worms. 1t should be used
in dust as for bean beetles. Pyre-
thrum dust is also good. Arsen-
icals compounds containing ar
senic) may be used both in sprays
or dusts as stated on the contain
ers, but all outer leaves on which
this poison has fallen must be
stripped off before the cabbage IS
eaten or placed on the market.
harlequin Cabbage Bug-These in
sects should be picked off by hand
early in the season. Crop residues
should be destroyed in the fall i'm
mediately after harvest. The de-
struction of horseradish, mustard,
shepherds-purse and pepper grass
will help to keep down this pest.
Derris extract, tablespoonful to
8 gallons of water, with two one
inch cubes of soap dissolved in the
mixture, is of some value in kill
ing the young bugs. Mature bugs,
however are very hard to kill.
Cabbage Maggot- -One-half ounce
Of corrosive sublimate dissolved in
pint of hot water in a glass or
earthenware container and then
diluted to five gallons with water
is an effective control. One gallon
Of this mixture should be used to
each 35 feet of row in seed beds or
one-half teacupful to each plant
when set in a field. The treatment
should be repeated in ~ days.
Calomel may be substituted for the
corrosive sublimate but this mix
ture must be applied more fre-
quently. Treatments with the
calomel mixture should be repeat
ed in seedbeds il from z to 10 days
and until four applications have
been made. In the field, treat
ments should be repeated in from
Z to 10 days. A dust consisting Of
one pound of calomel to "a pounds
of carrier flour, hydrated lime,
tale, gypsum, etc. used in the field

mentioned above or undiluted cal

also effective. Protectors made

BIG DRIVE TO
MOVE APPLES
Producer Consumer Cam
paign Seeks to Market H.
100000 Bushels in Week
RESULTS ARE PROMISING

The nationwide "Eat-an-Apple-
a-Day'' drive moved Z 7,480,000 bush
els of last years gigantic crop out
of storage during March, but even
greater results in the final drive
which got under way this week
end were foreseen here today by
Carroll R. Miller, of Martinsburg
w. Va, chairman of the Apple
Growers National Committee. De
spite the excellent results" of the
March attack on the surplus of the
1887 apple crop-the second larg-
est in the country's history H.
100000 bushels remained in stor-
age April 1, according to Mr.. Mill
er. He said he received those fig
ures from the U. S. Department of
Agriculture today. The total in
storage April l, he added, repre-
sented an amount 43 per cent
above the five-year average of ap-
pies normally in storage on that
date.
''The apple-marketing drive al
ready has proven the biggest and
most successful enterprise of the
sort ever undertaken and the end
is not yet in sight" Mr.Miller said.
Growers in 80 states have coop
Grated in the campaign, working
largely through chain stores, al
though we have been helped by
many Independents. The chains,
however, through their high-speed
distributing systems, have been es-
pecially effective.
''It is difficult to measure the
results. OF course, they add up
into hundreds of thousands of dol
lars in sovings to apple growers.
But the consumers have been di-
rectly benefited too. Apples are
one of the most economical and
healthful of foods. If everybody
would just eat an apple day
The present drive, the sixth
weeks attempt this year to clear
storage bins, is the first undertak-
ing of the kind ever engineered by
the apple growers. Mr.. Miller said
that it was launched cooperative
ly through eight regional associa-
tions. He is the head of the Ap-
palachian group, embracing West
Virginia, Virginia, Pennsylvania
and Maryland.
Growers have tried to move
surplus crops through chain stores
before, and great results were had
in promotion of sales of grapefruit
and canned peaches, but the apple
campaign has proven the most far
reaching and successful" Mr.. Mill
er continued.
The apple crop last year totalled
211, 100000 bushels, or a total of
81 ,00O,00 bushels more than aver
age, Mr.. Miller said. Only one
year of record, 1926, showed a
greater production. That year the
crop was 100000 bushels larger
than in 1887, but the problem of
moving it to market was not so
difficult, Mr.. Miller said.
Industrial conditions were bet
ter in 1926" he said, "and the pub
lie bought more freely"

Radiant Living
ON THE WINGS
OF THOUGHT
By Rev. c. M. Griffeth
Pastor Calvary NJ. E. Church
Sudlersville, Md.

It is by thought that we COM
mune with God. We open the
Scriptures and read of His
thoughts to usward. We kneel
and pray and tell Him of our love
and dependence. And while we are
yet speaking, He speaks to our
souls in the thoughts that He
sends us.
How significant of Divine COM
munion is the experience that
Jacob had when he lay asleep un-
der the brilliant stars and dreamed
of a ladder reaching to heaven,
upon which the angels of God were
ascending and descending between
him and the Lord who stood above.
Those angels were heavenly mes
sengers that bore back and forth
the thoughts of that communion
between God and Jacob, as though
those fast fieeting white-winged
angels were the very thoughts
themselves.
For after all, our thoughts are
as angels, especially when they
take on the breath of prayer. They
fly forth from our minds as do
white-winged angels from before
the Throne of God, Fastening forth
upon their mission of love and
blessing. 1t may be that they are
hurrying on wing to some precious
soul far up in the mountains to
whom they have been sent to min
lister blessings.
Or it may be that they are rush
ing forth to turn about an unfav-
orable wind for some distressed
mariner, far out upon the sea.
And is it not by these ascending
thoughts, as to the wings of an
gels, that we ourselves are carried
into the presence of the invisible
King?
