rary account" of Salem In North
Carolina. By E. M. Eller. Illus

It Is dedicated to every srenera-

Brief Introductions are writ
ten by J. Kenneth Pfohl, Bishop
of the Inbravlan Church, and
Adelaide L. Fries, archivist of
the Moravian Church. In the
foreword the authors say, “This
is fiction at times, yet always
truth; history, yet romance;
place-description, yet a web of
dreams.”
Opens With Easter Service
The first chapter, Easter,
opens with the lines, “Where are
the places that we see In dreams
. . and the poem, “Easter,” by
John Henry Boner. The chapter
begins with the Great Sabbath,
which Is Easter Saturday when
the Great Sabbath Lovefeast, and
the night, end the week of wor
ship with which for almost two
centuries the Moravian Church in
Western North Carolina has pre
pared Its members for the stir
ring service of Easter dawn.
Easter dawn. “Listen. ... Do
you hear?’’ Here Is described the
beauty of the scene, the choral
singing, the music of the horns.
Then as the hour Is struck, “The
Lord is Risen,” cries a voice, the
Bishop haa appeared.

the book:
“If I were allowed to read on

son my choice would be “'ITie
Houses of Peace.’ Thei author Is
E. M. Eller and the Illustrator is
William F. Pfohl. Text and Illus

perfect gift for all who love Sal

William A. Blair says of The
Houses of Peace:
“Books should one of these four
ends conduce,
“For wisdom, piety, delight or
use.”
Something of all these desir
able ends will be found in this
new publication fresh from the
press, the work of E. M. Eller
and W. F. Pfohl. This volume
largely about Salem, tells of the
early history of the brethren
from the days of John Hus; the
persecutions and scatterings of
the unity; the renewal of the
church under Count Zinzendorf;
the settlements in America; the
founding of Salem, its growth
and development.

Where the Idea came from is a
disputed question. People In an

decorated evergreen trees at cer

said to have had their own simi

Whatever the origin, the deco
rating of evergreen trees at
Christmas has become an estab
lished custom throughout the
world. Saws, sang and axes flew
In a demand for more than $5,-
000,000 worth of Christmas trees
last season says an Assoc'ated
Press report from Salt Lake,
Utah. A survey made among for
est supervisors turned up the es
timate of a National harvest
ranging to more than double that
amount. Washington State alone
marketed $2,000,000 worth.
Christmas trees are produced
locally throughout the Nation.
New England has its balsam fir,
the. mountain folk of Kentucky
and Tennessee use hemloc’f and
shortieaf pine, the Far West,
Dou.glas fir and Engelmanu
spruce, the deep South uses slash
and longleaf pine.
The Pacific Northwest, the
Lake States, and the New Eng
land States ship the majority of
Christmas trees to other sections.
Missouri's Ozark region Is also
a heavy producer in the Midwest.
Minnesota cut 1,750,000 Christ
mas trees last year. The South
west also helped to furnish trees
for yuletide cheer.
In spite of this relatively
wholesale cutting of Christmas
teres, according to silviculturists
at the U. S. Forest Products Lab
oratory, Madison, WIs., there Is
no alarming danger being done
the Nation’s forests as many of
the trees come either from select
ed thinnings and restricted cut
tings In the National forests, or
from plantation cuttings and
clearings. On hundreds of thous
ands of acres of swamp lands,
evergreens of Christmas-tree size
represent the most desirable pro
duct that the land' can grow.
These swamps are often small
and many farm owners have
from 6 to 50 acres of such land
from which the Christmas tree
