Yucca Common Plant

The yucca, in one Of its many
forms, is native to nearly every sec
ton Of the United States, writes
Eddie w. Wilson in the New York
Times. The yucca was used cere-
monially for many purposes by the
early American Indians. It was Of
great economic value to him also.
The sharp pointed leaf served as q
needle; the fiber, as thread. The
threads were made into cloth, mats,
rope, string and sandals. The hard,
sharp pointed blades were bound to-
gether with sinew to make fire
drills, and the stem, peeled and
dried, was used on the hearth Of the
fire-making apparatus.

sometimes so abundant that whole

weight of their fruit.

at is interesting to note at this
particular time. that the men Of the
First Assembly expressed themsel'
yes emphatically upon both these
points: Declaring the Westminster
Confession to be a part Of the Con-
stitution of the Presbyterian Church
in the United States of America and
recording in a formal resolution
their earnest desire to spread the
knowledge of eternal life contained
in the Holy Scriptures.
''The Presbyterian Church OF to-
day is not only true to all these fun
damental traditions" DR.. Pears said,

pion and defend them against all
cOmers and at whatever eOst!"

daughter, Jane, sailed Wednesday

sity of Delaware, was the afternoon
speaker, using as his subject, New
Sweden" He told of the cclOniza-
tion OF New Sweden in Delaware
and Of the life Of these early set
tiers. The speaker attributed the
failure of the colony to the fact that
Sweden. while the greatest military
power in Europe, was then a poor
country with no surplus of energy,
money, men or time to devote to
colonization.
