FORESTATION THE SOLUTION. State Forestry Association Hopes to Arouse Sentiment to Realize Future Needs of Nebraska. "Arbor Iay should hold for Nehtns ka people a more Impressive ipialHy this ,venr than ever before," snys T. W. McCiillough, or Omaha, president of the Nebraska Forestry association. "They ate Jut one .vear neater to the time when our foicMs will be exhaust ed; the.v are paying higher prices fin lumber than ever before; and may look for higher prices year after .vear as the supply Is less and less end' .vear, and the souice fnither ami far ther away. "Already the freight on a car id lumber tit Nebraska from any "Oiirn1 Is greater than Its value at the m,ll Nebraska pays millions each .vear In freight on lumber needed for the man.v uses to which il Is put, and for w libit there Is no substitute. "Only in one way can this situation he adequately met. Nehriiskans must raise their own lumber. This can be done. Waste acres in the state, on which nothing grows, will grow pine trees. This Is proved beyond question. other waste acres will grow oak, hick- ' ory, walnut, elm, maple, cottouvvood, niiiiiy varieties of trees which can be . put to use. "Farmers can supply their home needs, or most of them, from vvoodlois, where both grass and trees will 'glow, affording pastpro and limber for farm needs. Many farmers burn cow chips for fuel, when they could liavt wood. Many school houses stand bare and unprotected, where groves of shade trees should wave. "This requires only systematic plant ing. Nebraska ought to furnish all its citizens with home grown stoik, provided by state nurseries, other stall's are doing It. In Massachusetts, u much smaller state, with far less unoccupied land, requests are made for more trees than the state nurseries enn supply, and they have a capacity for furnishing more than K.OO'i.ooO young trees annually. Pennsylvania showed a profit of over $1,000,000 on the state forest reserve for ten .vears under the management of Clifford Pin chot, more than $100,000 a .vear. "The present legislature, like Its predecessors, declined to pass a law establishing a hurcati of Forestry In connection with the College of Agri culture. The measure failed, not he cnuse It lacked in merit, but because of the cost of maintaining it. "The Nebraska Forestry association will keep steadily on at Its undertak ing, hoping pi arouse the sentiment of the citizens to a point where the great work of transforming the waste areas of the state Into forest-producing I areas will he u fact Instead of a vis Ion. The crop is not for loda.v, or to morrow, but for fifty years from now, for generations jet to come, for, as Joyce Kilmer wrote, 'Only (J oil can make a tiee.'

In his early childhood, his mothc cited for mid taught him. There is no teacher or nuise like the mother of the child. At nit early age, she handed him over to the cure of KM to minister unto the Lord In the taber nacle. While ministering unto the I. old in the tabernacle. God ca'led him. He responded to this call and spi-m a long life In useful service to God ami his nation as Judge and prophet, our ii'sson today s hl faiewell uddres. After Saul was made king, he retired and turned over the authority to the newly-chosen, i tiler. I Samuel's Challenge to the People, (vv. 1-.".). 1. Itcniltider of the Way the King "Hud heen Given, (v. 1). He showed that the.v were directly responsible for i he change In government. Though 'einl.v li'.d.ng tl.e rolled Inn upon him 'I P ard tiiilr Ingratitude to Giwl In tlie'r deiimml for u king. In- h i not sisted th"lr wish. H( retnlmled them thi-t the.v now had what they wanted. L". Iteview of His Own Administra tion, (v v. '. :). (1) Wnlk from child- onii v. ). Samuels was a renmrk able llfi ; from childhood to old iilmi he had lived an upright and pure life. How sati'fyiug It must be to come to tlie end of life and to look back even to childhood days without regrets, (t!) Career as Judge and ruler (v. :i). He boldly challenged then to show where and how lie had even in the stmillest matters defrauded or oppressed any. one. lie courted the most searching Investigation of his life, even calling upon the Lord Himself to bear wit ness. :. The Vote of Confidence by tho People, (vv. 'I. r). it was Samuel's right as he laid down the reins of gov ernment to have his record vindicated and to have his integrity established beyond n doubt "t that no evil-minded man could ever be able to cast re proach upon him. II. Samuel Reviews God's Deallngc from the Time of Moses, (vv. 0-h"). He loasonod with tl.em concerning the food hand of the Lord upon them from the time of Moses. Though tl.ey with ingratitude turned from the Lord ami ilfriinntlcil u king like the other nations, he had acceded to their re quest and set a king over them. 1 National Prosperity Conditioned b.v Obedient e. (v. 11). Though they had displeased God in choosing u king, If they would fear the Lord and render obedience, national prosperity would still he given. The nation which will not walk In God' way cannot expect God's blessing. i! D'snbedlence to God Meant tho Vat Ion' i huln (v. 1."). It Im folly to ask God's blessing upon n nation while It Is living In rebellion against Him. 'I rue st.iieomanship Is to find out God's will coum ruing the nation and so di rect It that in all Its laws and customs there mn.v be harmony with that will. III. Samuel's Own Vindication, (vv. 10-10). This was Mich a critical hour In tho history of the nation that Samuel sought to Indelibly impress this mo ment on their hearts. This he did by means of the thunder and rain out of season. Harvest time was not tho season for thumb r and rain so when It came at the call of Samuel, the people were frightened. The sign had Its deigned cried. The people con fessed their sin of asking for n king and besought Samuel to pray for them. IV. Samuel's Gracious Response, (vv. HO'.!."). 1. "Fear Not Serve the Lord With All Your Heart." (vv. 1!0-H2). Samuel did not niinluil'e their sin but assured them If they would servo tho Lord wholeheaitedly, He would not forsake them. -'. "God Forbid That I Should Sin Against the Lord In Ceasing to Pray for You." (v. 'S.), Though the people bud rejected Samuel, yd he had such magnanimity of soul that he had not. allow eil their Ingrj'tllude to keep hint fioui Interceding for them. Such fall, tire on his part he regarded as sin. I Patjanism. To worry about carnal things Is pure paganism. He who has done such grand things for the soul will not starve the body. W. L. Watklnson.
