"I do not claim that all trees sc grown will produco premium winning fruit," ho addod, "as that cannot bo Bald of pedigreed llvo stock; but tho experience of tho foremost growers In tho northwest nnd other parts of tho United States and Canada will show that a greater percentage of high grado trees Is raised by following a 'common sense system than by or charding In tho old haphazard way.

Enoch, Man Who Walked With God By REV. C. A. S. DW1GHT, D. D. Text And Knorh walked with God; nnd ho wbb not; for God took lilm. Oen, Mi God has many distinguished serv ants whoso dignity Ib all derived from their heavenly Master. The names and histories of many of theso, as portrayed In tho Scripturncs, are coupled with tcll-talo epithets or brlof characterizations, which have now becomo familiar as household words, that nro significant of the peculiar aptltudcn and achievements of tho men to whom they nro applied. Ot ono man In the lllblo n phrnso Is used (applied elsewhere to ono other, Noah) which Is strangely Biiggesttvo and wondorfully Inspiring for It is said ot Enoch that ho "walked with God." All men, good and bad, walk in the sight of God, and all good mop may bo said to wnlk beforo or In tho pres ence of God guided by his eyo. shono upon by nts glory, and sur rounded by tokens of his love hut ol that primal, pre-eminent man ot an early rudo age it Is declared that he wnlked "with God," which must mean something very Illustrious, and denote a nlgnity almost, If not quite, unex ampled In the whole course of human history. Tho character of Snoch, ns vlowco through tho lengthened vistas of the varying ages, seems to shine with o pure white light nlmost, If not qulto, unearthly. Ub gleam was novor llghf pned on man-made altars, tho shcon It. not dlmmnblc by earth-born mists oi garish glare or historic contraven-i lions. Wo cannot know Just what wore the psychologic qualities of this holy, happy man, but wo may bo sure of ono thing, that his character was Blngulnrly pure, fnr above that of his fellows, or tho unexampled honor of "wnlklng with God" and of being translated without hint or hurt ot death would never havo been given to him. "Bo ye holy, for I am holy," must havo been fulfilled In marvelous do gt eo In Enoch's case. He was a sinner, as were others of his contemporaries, but somehow, In closo contact with tho fires of tho Divine holiness, tho dress of his own humanity was burn ed away bo that even beforo ho was caught aawy to paradise, ho became detached from earth and tilled with the very spirit of heaven. Enoch walked with God It appears, aB a prophet. God may havo revealed to him In qulot, tender converse many wonderful secrets of his plans. What did Enoch see in prophecy? Who knows hut that In thoso ecstatic 300 years thero may have passed bo- fore his vision, revealed by the di rect will and wish ot Jehovah, tho outlines of redemption tho coming history of the ages, exhibited as It were, In nn elongnted panorama, all Illustrating the wonders of grace and centering nbout tho cross, whoso dls- tnnt glenm Enoch's quickened eyes mny have clearly seen? Paul, In n later age, was taken up into tho third hoaven why may Enoch not havo been granted the vision of a redeem ed earth? Wo cannot saoy that It was bo but wo may wonder whether such dreams and visions did not come to that holy und unlquo man. Wo are told, at vany rate, In the epistle of Judc, of a wonderful vision which Enoch had of tho consumma tlon of human history, when tho Lord will come with ten thousand ot his angels to visit a dlro punishment on ungodly meln a message which seems to havo been a quotation from or an adaptation of, a prophecy In tho Uook of Enoch, which last Is a collection of npochryphal stories regarding mony natters In nature and In llfo which the chruch has declined to Introduce Into tho canon, nnd does not rccelvo as veritnblo Scripture. Tho general tuth holds good nt nil events that tho nearer ono walks with God nnd .tho more transparent is the moral nature of any believer tho broader and grander Is tho vision which such a one onjoys of oternnl things for In tho highest ranges of Christian ex perlcnco being Is seeing. There Is need today for tho trans parent, gulloless, reverent, meditative Enoch-llko typo of character a framo or fashion of moral being which may Bceni, Indeed, qulto foreign to the "Zeitgeist" or prevailing spirit of tho tlmos. . Yot In a rushing age, more, If nnythlng, thnn In any other, ra mon need tho closo Converso with their Mnker to kop them poUed nnild ho cinl agitations steadily ngnlust tho nssaults of temptation, and clear- eyed nmld the whirl nnd swirl of oumDoricsB worldly dlBtrnctlona, It should not bo thought, becauso Enoch lived In n slmplo age, that, thoreforo ho enjoyed exceptional opportunities for being religious, whllo In this char nclerlatlcally worldly day It Is qulto Out of tho question to maintain a spiritual frame.
