Against Fly Poisons
Following Is an extract from "The

Supplement No. 29 to, the l'ubllo
Ilcaltu Reports, Sprll, 1010.
"Of other fly poisons mentioned,
mention should bo made, merely for
a purpose of condemnation, of those
composed of arsenic. Fatal cases of
poisoning of children through tho
use of such compounds are far too
frequent, and owing to tho resem
blance of arsenical poisoning to
mmtner diarrhea and cholera in
fantum, It Is believed that the cacs
reported do not. by any means, com
prise tho total. Arsenical lly-de-stroylng
dovlces must bo rated as
extremely dangeious, and should
never bo used, even If other meas
ures are not at hand."
100 fly poisoning cases have been re
ported by tho press within the last
thrco years. As slated above this num

The Charge, the
Confession, and
the Coming
By REV. J. H. RALSTON, D. D.
Secretary o! Correspondence Department,
Moody Dlbls Institute, Chicago
TEXT But your iniquities hnvo sepa
rated between you and your God, nnd
your ulns, havo hid his fnco from you.
that lie will not hear. . . . For our trnns
Bresalons nro multiplied beforo thee, and
our sins testify njrnlnst us: for our trans
gressions nro with us: nnd as for our In!
nultlos, wo know them; . . . And tho Ito
decmer shall como to Zlon, nnd unto them
that turn from transgression In Jacob,
salth the Lord.-Isa. 53:2, 12, 20.
In tho days of the old prophets,
trouble between God and sinning men
was ns evident as
It is today. In tho
rending of tho
chapter that pro
cedes tho o n o
from which tho
texts are taken,
we road that tho
people attempted
to do certain
things thnt
pleased God; be
ing very religious,
In a formal way,
they were devot
ing themselves to
their sacrifices
nnd feastlngs, but
ihe trouble be
tween them and God was not removed.
It was fortunate for them thnt they
had some religious leaders that knew
things spiritual, nnd '-ho were faithful
In telling the people- that they were
not doing what was pleasing to God
at nil.
Charge of Worldllnecs.
If tho application of these words
were mndo to tho church today, which
would be very proper, tho charge
would not bo wise If it were made in
tho form of details or the naming of
peccadillos of ftnproper conduct, but
if tho church were charged with world
Hness, with betrnynl of pure doctrine,
with robbery as far as withholding of
ferings to God nro concerned, then
.the charge would attract attention.
Tho church of God todny In Its sinful
condition stands as a buffer between
God nnd tho unsaved world. A groat
load of guilt Is on it today on this par
ticular account. It Is a misrepresen
tation of whnt Christ and his religion
are. The world does not today read
Christ properly because It reads tho
perverted messnge of Christ thnt the
church presents in its life.
Hut the shortcomings of the church
will not redeem nny unsaved man, nor
bo nn excuse for not getting right with
God. Here every tub must stand on
Its own bottom. Whnt Is wrong with
tho unsaved man? Simply thnt he Is
out of right relationship with God;
there Is a lack of adjustment. A man
can fence nil ho pleases, and try to
throw the blame on God, but ultimate
ly the trouble Is with himself. Ills
sins hnve separated between him nnd
God, nnd these must be got out of
tho way. God must be faithful to
man, nnd to show his lovo ho says
through his ministers, "Your sins
have hid his face from you that ho
will not hear."
God's Part and Man's.
The charging of sin is God's part;
tho confessing of sin Is man's part.
Fortunately, tho people to whom tho
prophet spoke heeded his word, nnd
wo rend thnt they made detailed con
fession. Confession Is in n way
tho same thing r,s repentance, nnd
some men have shown themselves to
,bo strong In repentance, Indeed, thero
no explanation of their standing be
foro God, except conceding that they
knew how to repent. We hnvo David
'and Peter ns examples. Such confes
sion Is coming out candidly nnd ac
cepting the righteousness of the chnrgo
:of God. God hns passed judgment, his
charge is made nnd man must, like on
of ancient times, acknowledge tho
,chnrge In order that God may bo Jus
itlfled when ho spenks and bo clear
when he judges. We might note In
this part of tho confession thnt the In
dividual says "his sins are multiplied
before him" thnt Is, they nro In nn
exaggerated form, really whnt they
,nre, ns compnred with what ho has.
iheretofore considered them to be. lie
concedes, also, thnt his sins belong to
himself.
The need of the day In which we
find ourselves Is confession, national
confession, church confession, Individ
ual confession. Some nntlons todny
are on their knees. Thoy are on their
"way to truo blessing because they nro
igolng to get right with God. Tho or
ganized church Is hnrdly on Its feet
yet, nnd It Is slipping further and fur
ther away from the truth of God, nnd
not until It gels to Its knees nnd con
fesses Us attachment to tho world, Its
depnrture from truth, Its fnllure to
understand Its true mission, will It
hnve God's favor.
The Blessing.
Tho inevitable follows confession of
sin, namely, blessing. In tho text wo
nro told that the Itcdeemcr shall come
to Zlon. The trouble with" tho world
nnd with tho church nnd tho Individ
ual Is, that tho Redeemer is not pres
ent. This coming of tho Redeemer
may fairly be considered In the first
'place ns n spiritual coming. The Idenl
situation Is expressed by the term Im
manuel, which means "God with us,"
hut God cannot bo with us If we hold
to our sins and do not confess nnd for
sake them. God remnlns nwny from
nations nnd churches and Individuals
ns far ns his blessings nro concerned,
who do not confess their sins and re
turn to him.

PLEASURE IN FRUIT GARDEN
Owner Must Give It Attention From
Early Spring to Late Autumn
Uso Early-Bearing Plants.
Besides Increasing tho fruit supply
nnd cultivating n taste for quality, tho
maintenance of n fruit garden may bo
made n great source of pleasure. Tho
possession of n tree which one him
self hns planted and reared to fruit
production carries an ndded Interest
In ltn product, ns well ns in tho opera

the crowning result of nil these nntu

out such gardens.
Most persons engaging In tho culti

In order to prove n source of con

Its owner from early spring to late
autumn; its products, too, must be so

BADLY GNAWED TREES SAVED
Scions Cut Long Enough to Insert Into
Bark Above and Below Wound
Are Efficacious.
.Trees that are badly knawed may
bo saved by bridge grafting. Cover
the wound with grafting wax, after
which wrap securely with burlap or
cover with earth. The scions nre cut
,Iong enough to insert Into the burk be
low and above the wound. From three
to five nre commonly used on Injured
trees.
If the Injury extends to less than
half the distance around the tree It is
!not necessary to bridge graft as tho
;bark will grow over tho wound In one
or two years If the Injured portion Is
covered and protected to prevent rot
and Infection.
If trees are badly Injured It will not
pay to transplant them.
