Building
For Years to Come
In the erection of modern buildings the primary
thought is for endurance.
The same thought should be given to building our
own body and brain but few give it. This building
process requires certain essential food elements which,
within the body, are converted into the kind of brain,
bone, nerve and muscle capable of enduring the severe
tests of work and time.
Grape-Nuts
FOOD
is scientifically made of whole wheat and malted barley,
and supplies, in splendid proportion, all the nutritive
values of the grains, including their vital mineral salts,
which are all-important for life and health, but lacking
in much of the food that goes to make up the ordinary
diet.
A daily ration of Grape-Nuts food is good "build
ing" for sound health of years to come.

Perfection The
jj False and the True
Dr REV.L.W. COSNELL &
jj Supcrinltndratoi Mm, MoodV DM V
y Irttilult i Quota 2
TEXT Not ns though I linil nlrcmly at
tained, cither were already perfect. Let
U3 therefore ns many ns bo perfect be
thus mlndod.-Phll. 3:12, 15. .
This text mako3 it clear that there
Is a sonso in which Christians can not
bo perfect and an
othor sense in
which they may
bo perfect.
Tho apostle
states clearly that
ho has not already
attained, nelthe:
1b already perfect,
01 as tho Revised
Version roads,
" m a d o perfect.'
Tho verso preced
ing speaks of the
resurrection o f
tho dead, so that
his disavowal evi
dently hub to do
with tho perfec
tion which will como in tho future. It
may seem to some unnecessary that
a man should disavow this final per
fection slnco ho is evidently not yot
raised from tho dead; but the human
mind Is capablo of very strange things,
and this same apostle Paul speaks ot
some in his day who taught that the
resurrection Is past already. On
somo such basis, It seems, that teach
ers aroso who declared that oven now
we may reach tho perfection which bo-
longs to tho resurrection state. The
apostle Is cloarly against such a doc
trine. Bishop Moule, ono of the most saint
ly men tho modern church has pro
duced, in commenting upon this pas
sago says: "As far as my own obser
vation goes, bucIi viows (I. e. of per
fection) aro not uncommonly attended,
In those who hold them, by a certain
oblivion to personal shortcomings and
inconsistencies; by nn obscuration of
consciousness, and of conscience,
moro or loss marked, towards the sin
fulness of ordinary, overyday viola
tions of tho law of holiness in respect
of meekness, humbleness of mind, long
Bufforlng', sympathy, and other quiet
graces."
Indeed, tho saints of all the ages
unlto with Paul in declaring that they
nro not already perfect. Tho apostle,
aftor suffering many things for
Christ's sake so that ho bore In his
body tho marks of tho Lord Jesus,
writes of himself as "chief of sinners
John Bunyan although ho spent twelve
years in Bedford jail for his Lord
calls his lifo story "Grace Abounding
to tho Chief of Sinners." When John
Wesley thought ho was dying, he re
viewed his lnbors of sixty years, but
could find no peg upon which to hang
any hope of salvation; ho could only
repeat the sentiment of the hymn,
I the chief of sinners nm,
But Jesus died for me.
Tho same spirit was manifested by
Charles Spurgeon, who said during tho
serious illness, that If he got well ho
would havo many things to preach,
but Just at that time four words were
enough for him, "Jesus died for mo."
Dr. A. J. Gordon was n man of such
saintly character that his very faco
gave ovldenco of tho Indwelling light.
But tho other portion of our text
speaks of a sonso In which wo may
bo perfect. t Tho context sIiowb that
tho apostle is using tho flguro of n run
ner in a race. Ho has not yet at
tained the prize, but forgetting the
things which aro behind and reaching
forth unto those which are before, he
presses toward tho mark. It Is this
attitude to which tho word "perfect"
is applied. Tho man has laid aside
tho weights and tho easily besetting
sin; he is not content with what ho
has attained, but forgetting that which
1b behind, ho presses with neck
Btretchod forth and every muscle
strained, to tho goal. It will bo seen
at onco that this sort of perfection Is,
very Imperfect and 1b In no senso a
finality. It only propares us to bo
made porfoct In tho day of Christ's
coming. Ncvortholcss wo aro bound
by tho graco of Christ to fulfill this
ideal and not to put him to shamo.
Two matters aro Involved in tho ox
hortation to bo "Uiub minded." FirBt
of all if wo feel llko tho apostle, wo
will havo tho lowly estimate of our
selves of which wo havo spoken, tho
fooling that wo havo not attained.
Veiy far from Christian perfection Is
pflflo; on tho contrary, humility is its
rory essence Again, If wo aro per
fect in tho sonso of which tho apostle
!poaks, wo will emulate him Jn
pressing forward for tho prlzo of final
glory. ThlB ib tao Tory opposite of
somplacency ns to our attainment. It
Is said that Thonvaldscn onco wept
becauso ho was satisfied with a Btatuo
ho had mado. "Alas," ho said, "I shall
novor Improve now, for I havo reached
my Ideal." How ought they to bo
lroused who, becauso thoy havo como
to Christ and aro living with somo
tonaistency, are satisfied! Llfo man!
tests ltsolf by growth and ho who Is
not growing may well examine him
elf to seo whether ho bo in tho faith.
EIow good it is that tho apostlo goes
on to aBBuro us that "if in anything
yo bo othorwlso minded, God will ro-
voal ovon this unto you," May ho glvo
an grace to walk in ttls light!
NUT TREES THRIVE IN NORTH
Hickory Is Most Popular and Is Found
In Many States Little Time
and Labor Required.
Thoro aro very fow Boctlons ot tho
northorn states whero tho shollbark,
hickory and peenn trees cannot be
grown. Tho hickory Is moro common
ly found, and Is a native of many
states. Tho poenn is usually found
along river or creek bottoms, but can
bo transplanted to nny soil, sand or
clay, with fair success.
Tho hickory does not stnnd trans
planting so well ns tho pecan. Both
can bo grown from tho nuts and the
nut-grown treos glvo tho best results,
producing nutB younger and forming
fine trees, as tho growing in tho opon
from tho start adapts tho tree to tho
location and thero 1b no stunt from
transplanting.
Tho pecan or shollbark when grown
In tho opon produco wonderful crops
of nuts. If grown on high land tho
trees will novor bo largo for forest
trees, but when grown on nny low,
rich, moist soil, tho trees mako rapid
growth, soon growing Into largo flno
shaped trees.
Thoro Is always somo uncultivated
spot on tho farm whoro a fow nut
trees could bo grown. It requires but
littlo time and Inbor to plant them
and within a fow years tho homo will
have a Bupply of flno sweet nuts, each
year.
TO PREVENT WINTERKILLING
Alternate Froezlng and Thawing
Causes Plants to Die Out Straw
Mulch Is Recommended.
Tho objoct of mulching strawberries
In tho fall is to provont winterkilling.
Winterkilling Is usually caused by
tho plants dying out too much during
tho winter months, or by nltornnto
freezing and thawing.
The best mulch matorlal to ubo Is
clean straw; this Is placed on tho
plants 4 to C Inches deop after tho
ground has been frozen.
In tho spring after tho ground Is
thawed, tho Btraw Is worked around

PRUNING THE BERRY BUSHES
Blackberries and Raspberries May Be
Trimmed Any Time After Leaves
Have1 Fallen.
(By R. Q. WBATIIEHSTONE.)
Tho question is often asked as to
tho amount of pruning necessary for
blackberry and raspberry bushes ai?8
when this should bo dono.
This pruning of raspborry and black
borry buBhes may bo dono at anytlme
after tho leaves havo fallen. If I
could have my choice as to tho date I
would do tho pruning at tho closo of
tho wintor. But thoso who have largo
plantations aro obliged to do tho prun
ing when thoy havo lelsuro tlmo,
Unpruncd and Pruned Berry Bushes

thoroforo to such people I recommend
pruning any tlmo during vlntor.
Whoro tho winters nro sovoro, the
plants are bent down and each bush
held down closely to tho ground for
protection. I would not recommend
pruning theso bushes thus protected
until tho wintor Is past, and tho buds
are beginning to Btart growth.
EASY WAY OF PROPAGATING
Cut 8hoots of New Growth of Currant
Bushes Soon as Leaves Fall
Soil Should Be Sandy.
(Hy H. G. COOKE, Connecticut Kxperl
mont Station.)
As soon as tho loavos of tho currant
bushes fall cut tho shoots of new
growth Into lengths four or live Inches
long; bunch as you do asparagus, and
tlo firmly and placo In a tronch with
tho small ends down; cover about one
inch deep, nnd tho soil should bo qulto

Just before cold weather turn thorn

SUDDEN

Tho closo connection which exists
between tho heart and tho kidneys is
well known nowadays. As Boon ao

Is lncrcasod and tho heart functions
