religious act. The King is conse-
Grated to his high office, and the
blessings of Almighty God is invoked
on his behalf. The service in West
minister Abbey, with its ancient ritual
and pageantry, is the solemn rec
ognition of the fact that only by Di-
vine grace can King truly fulfill his
| kingly vocation. The coronation is ar
occasion of rejoicing not only on the
great thoroughfares and in the resi-
Dental sections of the rich and pow
erful, but likewise in the humble sec
lions of the poor. What happens in
London is typical Of what happens in
every town, city, village and hamlet
throughout the Empire. The people
rejoice, but their rejoicing is more
than a merry-making. The people
really rejoice in God who is the King
of Kings and the only ruler Of princes.
The old doctrine that "the King can
do no wrong" no longer holds sway.
Monarchy is no longer hedged about
with a superstitious reverence that
protects it from all criticism. The
position of a King is no sinecure. He
can only serve his people as he ought
by relying upon Gods grace and guild
ance.
1t may be that George VI has come
to the kingdom for such a time as
this. Not only England but the world
needs re-baptism Of spiritual power,
and a return to religion if we are to
escape the calamities inseparable
from careless living and forgetfulness
of God. Evidences of this need are to
be found in dwindling congregations,
shrinkage in Sunday school attend
ance, secularization of Sunday and
neglect of the Bible. Even professed
believers in many places seem to lack
that Astounding faith and zeal for ser
vice once 50 conspicuous among the
saints.
IL great empire IKE InaC Oh GTedI

America ought to remember that the
Bible itself declares: Except the

the county health officers. In practi-
cally every instance, he said, when
children have developed diphtheria,
the record has shown that they had
not been protected against the disease.
Typhoid fever had a less favorable
record than 1886. There were 327
cases with 81 deaths reported in 1887
in comparison with 266 cases and
27 deaths in 1886. No part of the State
was entirely free from the disease
but for eight counties-Anna Arundel,
Caroline, Hartford, Howard, Kent,
Queen Anne's, st. Mary's, Talbot-no
resident deaths from typhoid were re-
ported.
Three Counties Calvert, Caroline
and Howard-had no maternal deaths
from conditions associated with child
birth. More babies were born in the
State in 1937-27,636, in comparison
with 26,542 in 1886 and fewer babies
died before rounding out the first year
of life-1,7O4 in 1887 in comparison
with 1912 in 1886. In other words, Dr.
Riley said, SO babies in each thousand
born in 1886 died before the end Of
the year, and in 1897 the number of
infant deaths dropped to 81 out of
each thousand born.
Prenatal conferences for the care
of expectant mothers have been es-
tablished, DR.. Riley said, in nearly all
of the counties. Over 1000 women at
tended these conferences last year
and had the benefit of medical super
vision and advice and follow up nurs-
ing care.

MAKING LAND PRODUCTIVE

Not very many years ago, and
within the memory of d lumber of
living residents, all hiiIsides and
mountains of this country had the
natural protection of dense forests,
thus insuring the slopes against the
destructive influences of erosion, pre-
serving the lowlands from the damage
of devastating floods, insuring a we'll
regulated and abundant water supply
throughout the year. and providing
adequate refuge for a variety of
game. "':s'
This section might still possess such
forests had not man unwisely, care
lessly and unscientically denuded the
hills and mountains, thus destroying
the billions of leaves which served to
soften the heavy fall Of rain, and the
thick sponge of humus, fertile top
soil, which acted as reservoir sup
plying the surplus water to brooks
and streams.
Instead, thousands of acres of
waste land with inferior topsoil are
seen often Quilted with ugly gullies
which constitute liability and not an
asset to every farmer.
Through soil erosion control and
proper forestation, rehabilitation of
the land now affected can take place.
A meeting is being held next Tuesday
at Swanton, to learn about such
things. Federal and state govern
ments are interested .in these prob
lens but the individual farmer and
landowner must not only become in
terested but get down to actual work.
The realization that reforestation
might prove financial aid to farmers
through the sale of Christmas trees,
just like the maple syrup industry
provides money each year to those
having sugar maple groves, may be
the means of getting people of the
county vitality interested.
FINANCIAL returns on Christmas
trees planted this spring, could be
realized in ten years. Meanwhile
erosion would be lessened. Wise cut
ting in ten years would insure proper
forests that would retain water and
lessen floods. ~ -.
There would be very little cost in
raising a forest Returns would be
very great in comparison.
The subject is worth much serious
thought.

NOTEWORTHY RECORDS OF
HEALTH MADE DURING '37

The year 1887 went down into his
tory with some noteworthy health rec
ords to it's credit.
Provisional figures assembled by
the State Department of Health, and
announced by DR.. r. H. Riley, Direc-
tor of the Department, shows that
though there was an increase in the
total number of cases of diphtheria
reported in the State, there were
fewer cases in the counties than in
1886. Sixteen of the twenty-three
counties of the State came through
the year without any deaths from
diphtheria charged against them and
in seven of the sixteen there were no
cases Of the disease reported. The sew
en- with neither cases nor deaths were
Allegany, Carroll, Cecil, Kent, Queen
Anne's, Talbot and Worcester. The adj
ditional counties in which there were
no deaths from diphtheria were Cal
vert, Caroline, Charles, Dorchester,
Garrett, Howard, Montgomery, St.
Mary's and Somerset.
Mothers throughout the State are
urged, DR.. Riley said, to have their
babies protected against diphtheria
before they are year old, and GER
tainly before they are old enough to
go to school. The mothers are advised
to go to the family doctor and if that
is not possible to have the children
immunized at the clinics arranged by

porteur's reply, "but | do not find that
you are at all better than the Jewish
teachers of that time. There is surely
no captain so foolish as to say he
needs no compass, but will steer his
ship by the bump of locality. Such
teachers will bring our children to
ruin"
The schoolteacher, however, went
away muttering: 81 will not bow down
before this God, Jehovah!"
This was a hard day for the colpor-
teur, but before it ended he had a
happier experience. On reaching a
group Of workmen's cottages he met
an old man who was obviously de-
lighted that someone had come with
Bibles.
81 have five grandchildren who are
to be confirmed at Easter" he ex-
claimed. 81 shall give to each of them
present of Bible" He paid for the
five Bibles and the colporteur's COM
ment was: $50 God helps. One man
rejects His Word and another gives
His Word to five young people"
The colporteur had further eviden-
ces that many people in Germany
have not lost their faith in Christi
anity. An old woman asked him in
great excitement if he was selling
Bibles for the new religion. When he
told her that he, with many, many
others still believed in the God of the
Bible, she looked relieved and said
81 am so old and have always been so
happy in my church, l cannot believe
that it is all wrong" All wrong! 1t is
about the only thing left in the world
that is all right! If the nations Of the
world would again write in their basic
law the Ten Commandments as Alfred
the Great did in the eighth century,
and if that great kings pious wish
that the youth of his realm should en-
gage in nothing until they could read
well the Holy Scriptures, the hope and
safety Of the world would be far more
secure than it is in our chaotic age.
Let us return to the Bible as the foun-
dation of our liberties and our happi-
ness. If it be first read as a duty, it
will come to be treasured as a source
of strength, consolation, happiness
and peace.

George Among English Kings

Someone writing recently of the
Georges who have been kings of Eng
land, called attention to those quail
ties which stood out in clear relief in
the character of the late King George
V. Admitting freely that this good
king was adorned by no brilliant gifts
nor outstanding qualities Of states
menship, it was averred that he had
won his way to the hearts of his peo-
pie by honlier and far more practi-
cal virtues. He put duty first; he lived
for his people; he set a high standard
for his personal life; he drew his
strength from God, and for the rest he
was an English gentleman, honorable,
Undetermined, unselfsh, kindly So
living, so dying, he left behind him the
imperishable memory of a good man,
who was great because he was good.
He redeemed the name of George
among the Kings of England.
The new King of England has ex-
plicitly and frankly stated that he
means to fashion his kingship on that
of his father; this promise has been
kept both by word and deed in the
few short months since his accession
as George VI.
On the 23rd day of May the Mary

CHAPEL HILL, N. G., Nov. IT,
"A burning sawdust pile in
northern Chatham county North
Carolina, has given birth t. a
plant previously unknown.
j The thing looks like an alga.

water. Algae are usually green.
This one is gray, the color of a

has appeared in two small runs"
that receive the seepage water
from the charred sawdust.
Algae make their food by aid
of the green chlorophyll which
gives them their color. But this
plant, lacking anything green.
puts out viscid roots. that branch
until they are nearly half an inch
long and have exactly the APP
pearance of vigorous water
mold.
With their aid the plant is a
parasite. The North Carolina
scientists report that several
parasitic alga-like plants that
have nearly lost their green pig
ment are known. But they say
they know of no other plant with
