Today's Church
Message
BY REV. J. EVERETTE NEESE.
THE INFLUENCE OF THE
CHTTRCH

For what does your church stand?
Have you ever asked yourself this
question? And, too, have you ever
wondered over how large a territory
tho church has cast it's influence? The
following selected notations give us
some idea of it's influence:
The church is the noblest and best
organization in the world
It produces the finest specimens OF
. Of character of which this world has
any knowledge.
1t exercises the largest influence in
the work of reform.
It is the one sure and steadfast pro-
moter and supporter of reform.
Whatever good is in the church has
come through the avenues OF the
church. Both directly and indirectly
it promotes and safeguards public
morals.
It conserves the peace and hap
piness of the community.
r. docs the most to develop the SEN
timents of love- brotherly kindness
and good height orhood.
II does the most to promote clean,
strong. brave slef-sacrificing and eff
ficient citizens and public servants.
It does the most to make and main
tain the home as place of virtue
love. righteousness, comfort and hap
piness.
1t sympathizes with the weak, the
wronged and oppressed, and pleads
| for social justice more than any
other institution.
It stands most universally and un-
compromisingly for the right and a.
gainst the wrong.
The aim Of the church is to pro-
claim the gospel throughout the world
| Give the church your best service
Live by the church, stand by the
church and die by the church.

A number of the victims of at

brought to the police station in an
attempt to identify him.
AS all of the attacks happened
at night none of the women could
definitely identify him, according
to Chief Garrett. However, one
woman said that his general ap-
pearance and his voice was like
that of the man who grabbed her
and attempted to drag her into a
nearby vacant lot.
CALLED LUNATIC
The man was placed under
mental observation and was ad-
judged of unsound mind this week
by DR.. William A. Murphy, and

they felt confident they had the
right man and that the wave of
assaults was at an end.

the case was reopened.

The State is banking heavily

heavily for an acquittal. When

Carroll originally was arrested

Seedless Tomatoes Grown
bv the Use of Chemicals

Columbia, Mo.-Tomatoes without
seeds are being grown in the de-
partment of horticulture at the Uni
versity of Missouri here by use of
chemic ais.
Normally tomatoes require polli-
nization and fertilization to set fruit,
but that also means that seeds will
be formed. So the Missouri work
ers pinch out the parts of the flower
that produce the pollen, thus stop
ping fertilization, and then seek an
other stimulus in the form of a
growth promoting substance, or hor-
none, to cause the fruit to set.
The result is that tomatoes devel-
op normally, but instead of contain
ing seeds and pulp, the tomatoes
are solid meat. The fruit is of
normal size, but weighs more be-
cause it is solid.
The Ihormone used is indoleacetic
acid dissolved in lanum paste at
the rate of one part acid to 500
parts paste. About three applica-
tons, put on a week or ten days
apart, are required.
