N. C. Baptists Convert Ancient Fort Into Summer Seaside Assembly Ground N. C. Baptists, 700,000 strong, have converted a fort that has been through four wars into a summer Seaside Assembly Ground. With accomodations for 1,000 guests in refurbished barracks, cot tages, and a building that formerly was a hospital but now a hotel, the Ft Caswell Baptist Seaside As sembly opened June 12 with a pro gram of conferences and meetings extending into September. Ft. Caswell was constructed in 1825. It saw its first action in the Civil War,, guarding the mouth of Cape Fear River used by the Con federate blockade runners based at Wilmington. This was known as the "lifeline of the Confederacy". The fort was manned again in the Spanish-American War and in both World Wars for coastal defense.. Of massive masonry, the fort had emplacements for nine batteries. FRESH VEGETABLES TOP LIST OF FOODS The U. S. Department of Agri culture, announcing Its plentiful foods list for July, called the at tention of shoppers to the wide variety of- fresh and processed foods abundant on Southern mar kets, Miss Hilda Clontz, home dem onstration agent said this week.

' GROCER in Minneapolis re ceived a letter from a former customer who bad left the- city owing a large grocery bill. "I have been converted in a revival here," the letter said, "and I want .to make every thing right in my life that has been wrong." Enclosed there was a certi fied check for the old bill. The gro cer wtred back: "W h o was the evangelist who converted -you? We need him in Minne Foreman apolis." Conversion is God's operation on the heart No one can actually see the heart, byt if the operation is successful, the symptoms of dis ease will disappear and the symp toms of health can be seen by any one. The patient is a new man. Jacob Black PERHAPS the most notable case of conversion in the Bible. aside from the Apostle Paul, is the man named Jacob. His life is a study in black and white; up to a certain point hardly anything good could be said- of him, but after that point he can hardly be accused of anything bad. All his younger days he was principally noted for giving trouble to other people and "doing them oat of" something he wanted for himself. First he tricked his older brother into selling him the family birth right, for the ridiculous price of a bowl of soup (pottage). You would not think any One would sell his birthright; but Jacob caught Esau when he was dog hungry . . . Then we see him out smarting his brother again by birthright; Jacob was by that time a shameless liar and thief. It be came so hot for him at home that he had to leave town. We have a glimpse of him on bis Journey, dreaming about a Udder to heaven. Evidently bin conscience did not trouble him. ladeed, he proceeds to bargain even with God; if God will prosper him, he says, he will see that God gets ten per epnt. God did Indeed prosper him; but he grew no better for It. The rest of his life, for the next twenty years, is one piece of trick ery after another, he and his uncle Laban taking turns trying to out smart each other, with Jacob us usually coming out ahead. Jltpb White THnGS came to a climax on the night when Jacob, fearing death at Esau's hands, arranged his family to go ahead of him, keep ing himself in the safest place in the rear . . . and there at last he came face to face with God. The story of his all-night strug gle at the brook Jabbok is a strange one; but one thing la cer tain. After that night even his name was changed, for the man himself was a new man. He is patient In trouble, no longer resentful. He Is not only a good man himself, he does his best to help others. Be con ducts what can only be called family revival; he persaades one and all to give np the Idols they had been worshipping and ton to the one true God.' He offers sacrifices, like his fath ers before him. " He goes down Into Egypt' at last, a humble man, no longer the con ceited young crook ho had been when he went to Padan-Aram.. Ha depends now on God and not on himself. . j .. o The God of Jacob ' A FAMILIAR Psalm carries this refrain) "The God of Jacob is our refuge." Why the God of Jacob, not Abraham nor laaacT Well, if It were only , the God of 'Abraham, most of us might as well give up. .For Abraham was a great genius, a man such as appears scarcely once In a century. Or U he were the God of Isaac only, wo would be led to think of him as caring especially for the weak-minded, the lame and the lary. But Jacob- Just a plain' man fun of IneannessT Yes; the same God who changed him can change the meanest of us. The real test of religion Is not what support it can give to noble souls,' or what comfort It gives to the weak.

Other stops were made at the farms of Robert Dobson and C. C. Murray, where the story was pretty piuch the same.

It was recognized as bad business as far back as 1874. But now, a rather startling report on poisoning from shot alloys have been released. v We are told that birds fed on corn, mixed grains, or wild seeds all had a high death jate even ... when they had been given only one shot. Birds fed on coontalliln addition to these diets suffered much smaller losses, and in some instances none of them , died. In other words, the salad in the diet was the most important factor in survival. ' t " We know the importance of green leafy plants in the diet of watery fowl. Well-meaning people feed ing corn or grain to ducks in se vere weather, when green natural plants are not available, are has tening the death of these birds that carry shot in their gizzards. No commercial shot or alloys used in experiments showed any promise of preventing lead poison ing in waterfowl. Lubaloy (a com. mercial lead shot coated with cop per alloy) delayed death some 4 aays longer.
