Leaving Peter In the house of Simon
tlio tanner at Joppa (chapter lx, 43).
we turn fur a little while to the home
of Cornelius, tho centurion, nt Cuesu
rea, where we find a man wtoo, with nil
his house, feared God, prayed to God
nlway and gave much uliiih to the peo
pie (Verne* 1, 21. If religiousness and
sincerity were all that In necessary we
would think Hint this man was truly
a saved man, hut when we rend Hint
the angel wild to Cornelius I hat i'eter
would tell him words whereby he nnd
all Ills house would he saved (chapter
xl, 18. 14) we know tlmt they were not
saved until after I'eter came and
preached the gospel to them. I.lke the
treasurer of the queen of ICthlopln, he
was mi earnest seeker living up to the
had, and to such God always
vends more light, but there Is no salva
tion revealed In Scripture ns a result
of our good works (Horn, lv, r>; lOpli.
11, 8, U; Til. 111, 4, 0). It Is the blood
that inaketh an atonement fur the soul,
and without shedding of blood Is no re
mission (Lev. xvll, II; Ileh. Ix, 2'-'i.
Here, as In tho case of the Ethoptan,
the principal agencies used by God nre
on angel, the Holy Spirit, and a man
(verses 3, 19). The eyes of the I-ord
are looking over tho whole earth for
whole hearts toward Himself, and it Is
also written "Yc shrill seek Mo and Ond
Me when ye search for Me with nil
your heart" (II Cbron. xvl, 0; Jer. xxlx,
13). Cornelius was whole hearted, ac
cording to the light lie had. and was
certainly a sincere seeker after God.
Tho same Lord In heaven who snw the
desire for light lu tho heart of the man

for he searches all hearts.- Bo lie
sent an angel from heaven to the home
of Cornelius, while he was In prayer
(verse 30) to assure him that God hnd
beard his prayers and recognized his
s alms (verses 8, 4). The ministry of
the angels Is always a most fascinat
ing study. There are millions upon
millions of them; they excel In strength,
bear Ills voice, do Ills pleasure, go nnd
come like lightning, minister to the
■aints (Iter, v, 11; I*s. clll, 20. 21; Kzek.

Now we return to I'eter, whom God

every day. In order to avoid a rush
and for the sake of convenience both
to tho delegates nnd to the registra
tion committee It was decided that
when possible the delegates send In
their names and registration fee of
60 cents in advance to Miss Hattle
Dewey. Goldsboro. and she will for
ward badge and address of home to
which delegate has been assigned.
Tills arrangement, we believe, will be
to the advantage of all parties since
tho prominent speakers and workers
who will take part on the program
will In all probability attract an un
usually large delegation.
Tho coming convention will be the
sixth since the state organizations
were formed. Six yearß ago there
were about 400 classes In the State;
to-day there are over 2,000. The six
years of their existence have not only
been marked by a wonderful growth
In number of members and classes,
but the Interest In the work seems to
bo on the Increase. The organized
Sunday School class lias Justified Its
existence by what It has done and Is
doing as a movement. No other plan
of winning young men and young
women to the Sunday School and
Church has ever been discovered that
brings the result like the Baraca-
Phllathea movement. It Is a fact for
which the various denominations of
our State might well be proud that
North Carolina heads the list of all
the st&tes of the Union In this work.
A program worthy of the work that
has been and Is being done by the
Baraea and Phllathea classes of the
stole has been prepared for the con
vention only a few days off. Dr. J.
Wilbur Chapman and Dr. Alexander,
known the world over for their great
services as evangelists, will have
charge of one seMlon. Miss Hen

Workingmen Will Not Fight a War For
the Munition Makers
By JAMES H. MAUSER President Penmylvania Federation of Labor
1 SPEAK not for organized labor, but for the working classes, and
clifrge that the present call for arms was inspired by those who were
making immense profits selling ammunition and who at the close of
the European war would want a large army and navy to enforce the col
lection of the money owed them by bankrupt nations.
The working people will not consent to fight such a war. Instead
of spending more money I think congress had better investigate the
money already spent. The people have believed we were prepared. We
were told we were the greatest power on earth. LESS THAN TWO
YEARS AGO WE WERE TOLD WE COULD BEAT GERMANY
AND MEXICO AT TIIE SAME TIME.
Now, suddenly we are told our boats are old tubs, our army helpless.
There were no rumors of war two vears ago, when Germany and Austria
were in the best condition of their history.

Uses and Abuses of Fertilizers \
By Prof. R. J. H. De Loach, Director of Georgia Experiment Station. [|
*. FERTILIZERS AND HORTICULTURE.
The Fifth of • Series of Six Article!.
The fruit and vegetable growers are always leaders In the use of plant
foods for their crop*. This is especially true of the vegetable growers. What
they wish is rapid jrowth In their produce, so that they will get the vege
tables en 'fee market In the shortest possible time from the time of planting.
This Is the secret of success with vegetables, and the only way to meet such
conditions IS to apply fertilizers In large quantities. In the next paper we
shall tell about the "home garden" aiyl how to fertilize it. In the present
paper we are to tell more particularly about fruit trees and other horticultural
plants.
The relation of apple growing to fertilisers has never been very carefully
worked out We know that the use of fertilizers with fruit trees, and
especially apples, pays, but we have not yet worked out the best formulae
for the various kinds of trees, nor the amounts which pay best. Brlsbin says,
in his book on "Trees and Tree Planting," that In planting young trees large
quantities of manure should be used In preparing the place* for planting.
These manures should be rich In plant food elements if the trees are ex
pected to make rapid growth. The best way to Increase the plant food in
manures Is to add to the manures the mineral elements in various forms,
and mix with leaf mold and manures. Brlsbin also recommends that weeds
should not be allowed to grow around tbe apple trees, as they will take up
the plant food which Is put down for young trees.
Tbe beat method of produclngftruit Is to keep the field or orchard clean by
growing other crops which require constant attention and cultivation. Most
farmers and horticulturists fertilize the crops that grow in the orchard, and
in this way save the expense of fertilising tbe fruit trees again. In many
instances legumes are grown as a cover crop, and, incidentally, to furnish
nitrogen. The orchard cannot be cultivated too deeply, or injury will result.
It needs to be cultivated shallow, and manures or fertilizers applied IB
reasonable quantities. While it is necessary to put fertilizers near the trunk
of tbe tree, yet the roots scatter pretty well over an orohard, and the plant
food that happens to fall further away from the trunk is not lost
A large crop of apples or peaches takes from the soil much plant food,
such aa nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid, and unless this is supplied from
time to time, the trees will prove less fruitful and finally bear very little
fruit, and what they do bear will be of poor quality. The argument that old
trees In pastures bear good fruit is not sound, because conditions prevail in
many Isolated places this way that cannot be duplicated Jn the orchard.
Many times It Is the natural leaf mold, woods earth, droppings from animals,
and other materials carrying available plant food that make the fruit on
such trees. Besides, such fruit la rarely ever as excellent and delicious as
that grown in a well kepi orchard. Fruit, like all other kinds of field and
garden crops, must be forced more or less to measure up to a high standard.
To (orce the fruit, and at the same time keep the land fertile, we must apply
to the soli as much fertilizer as the crop takes
Fruit trees demand in their growth a fertilizer rather rich In potash and
phosphoric "arid, but .not very rich in nitrogen. It was found that the citrus
trees In California at the Riverside Experiment Station grew better fruit and
did better every way with a complete fertilizer than with any single plant
food element, or any Incomplete combination, it was also found that the
scld requirements of these trees were more completely supplied with sul
, phate of ammonia than from any other nitrogen source.
I Many of the experiment stations have secured from fertilizing
( orchards, but none quite so good as the Ohio station. F. H. Ballou, In charge
of work with apples, says: - ..
"To sum up tbe results In increased fruit production from the use of
chemical fertilizers on the very thin orchard land in southeastern Ohio tak
i tng into consideration all our different plots at the various places covering
i CO miles of country, we have the following;
i Average per acre, per year fertilized, 100 barrels.
Average per acre, per year unfertilized. 44 barrels.
Gain per acre, per year, from fertilization, 56 barrels.
k Coat of gain per barrel, per year, 17 8 cents.
- This is the strongest endorsement for the uie of commercial fertilizers la
orchards that we have yet seen, and ahowa how it is possible to Increase the
income* from an orchard by the wise use of the proper kinds of fertilizers.
Prof. Maurice A Blake of the New Jersey Experiment Station recommends
i sn application of 410 pounds of fertilizer per acre With peaches.. Prof. Starnes
I of the Georgia Experiment Station tried many formulas at the Georgia Station
several years ago on peaches, and found that in every case the fertilizers
paid.

Thirty-Two Million Men in War.
Washington Post.
" "Thirty-two million men, it is
estimated, are engaged in the
European war, and the end is not
yet," observed Dr. S. Sargentich,
of the Imperial Russian Hospital
at Nish, Serbia. "It is impossible
to write accurately about the war,
for the vastness of it is beyond
human comprehension. It is
sickening in its horrors. , No man
can last long under the strain. I
spent the greater part of two years
at the front and in the field hos
pitals. Millions of men have been
killed, but the per centage of
mortality is not so high, perhaps,
as in some other wars.
"Sixty percent, of the wounded
treated in the hospital at Nish
where I was stationed were back
in the trenches inside of a month.
The courage of the soldiers of all
nations engaged is wonderful.
The Serbian soldiers told me that
Austrians were the bravest indi
vidual fighters they encountered.
They have high praise to the Ger
mans in mass fighting, but they
said the Teutons were not as good
fighters individually as the Aus
trians.
"The world nas never known a
braver little army than that of
Montenegro," added Dr. Sargen
tich. "With one-quarter million
of men the Montenegrins stood off
their enemies for more than a
year. Montenegro liasbeen a free
nation for 500 years, and this is
the first time they have been
driven out of their country.
They could not stand against the
combined forces of Austrians,
Germans, Turks and Bulgarians."
"Made in America."
X
Congressman Humphrey, of Mis
sissippi, recently startled the
House of Representatives by de
claring that "every prosperous
mill and mine, field and factory,
and workshop in this nation today
is directly connected by the sordid
threads of gain with the blood-red
battlefields of Europe.
"Go to Europe, visit the front,
where is being waged the most
costly and bloody struggle in all
human history. You ride out in
an American automobile to the
trenches dug with American tools,
lined with American lumber, pro
tected by American barbed wire,
manned with American guns,filled
with American ammunition, de
fended by men equipped, clothed
and fed with Americau products.
American aeroplanes are scouting
overhead, the cavalry dashes to
the front on American horses, the
light artillery is brought forward
by American mules.
"Wait until the lull of battle
comes, wait until the white flag of
