A >Ioney-Maklnir Bvlnem That Initial]lane JD cerise. Tali an Indiana man an "elm peeler" and you wreck his pride. Usually it I draws from him a venomous retort, j The term "elm peeler." according to | the old masters of the Hoosier Jan- I guage, constitutes a slur. At Peru, j however, it stands for mor.ey, and lots j of it. If you don't believe it, ask A. j L. Hiller, the "elm peeler," of Peru, j He knows. The "elm peeler"' is a benefactor of : mankind. lie is the Hoosier medicine j man, and is not to be spoken of dis- \ paragingly. Twelve years ago Hiller began peel- j ing elm trees in the forests surrounding > Peru. His sale of the medicine freight- , ed "peel"' was small at first, but gradually chemists began to realize that the t*iiu wad I'uiuiiyc, xxha^l a , business increased witLi the years. ! Now he cannot get it fast enough. i Most of Hiller's product of the forest j goes to a Chicago medicine manufac- | turing company, and he gets nine and ; one-half cents a pound for it. Recent- j ly, with five assistants, Mr. Hiller gath- ! ered 7200 pounds of elm peel, receiv- | ing $684 for the shipment. It required ' fifteen days to gather the lot. The season for peeling elm trees is [ from April 10 to June 1. Hiller and his j ,-elm peelers" go to the woods aQd j camp during the peeling season. Frequently they work from fifteen to eigh- | teen hours a day?in other words, they i "make peel while the sun shines." The trees must he ten inches or more j in diameter before they are felled and peeled. The elms are sawed near the bottoms, and then rolled to a spot convenient for peeling. The rough outside covering is removed, and then a large , knife is used to dissect the "slippery" i part of the elm. There the peeler has the "slippery elm" so dear to the heart j of every boy. The boy who doesn't ! know when the "slippery elm" season i is one is a juvenile dyspeptic. After ibe trees liave been peeled, the logs are abandoned, and i'.rc later cut : into stovewood.

Benedict Makeg a Beautiful Commentary on the Briefest Yet Mont Comprehensive Biography Ever "Written?Ketain God's Love. Brooklyn, >'. i.?The Rev. Chanes E. Benedict, pastor of St. James' M. E. Church, Eightv-fourth street and Twentieth avenue, Bensonhurst, preached Sunday morning on "Divine Companionship." The texts were from Genesis v:24: '"Enoch walked with God. and he was not, for God took him," and Hebrews xi:5: "Before his translation he had this testimony, that be pleased God." Mr. Benedict said: This is one of the briefest yet most comprehensive biographies ever written. These passages, containing twenty-three words, tell us about all we know concerning this man Enoch. Imagine the story of your life told in three sentences! He walked with God, he pleased God and he was translated. This is the record of Enoch's life. It reads more like an epitaph than a biography, yet J. would rather have those first two statements true of my life than to have the most eloquent tributes or eulogistic praises ever written or spoken by men. To walk with pod and to please Him! Do you know of anything more desirable? It is said that a man's walk is indicative of bis career. Manner and gesture are an index to character. It is possible to make an estimate approximately correct of the K'np nf mpn vnn mppf nn fhp cfrppf Kv nnf ing the poise and bearing of the average pedestrian. One waits with a firm, quick sten, head erect, shoulders back, and you feel instinctively that he is an energetic, resolute, self-respecting man, bound to 6uccecd. Another shambles by with shiftless gait, dragging his feet rather than lifting them, and you put him down for a loafer. A. third glides along noiselessly, threading his way in and ouc ?nong the crowd, and you know intuitively that he is a sly, acheming trickster. Another walks with unsteady gait, stepping carefully, as if the pavement were rolling and bumping against liis feet, and as with pitying glance you watch him stagger along you say, "The poor fellow is drunk." So a man's gait betrays him. His walk signifies the manner of his life. One is likewise known by the company he keeps. We are largely what our friends and companions are. Tell me the sort of persons with whom you associate, in whom you confide, to whom you go with all your troubles and with whom you share your every joy, and I will have ho difficulty in estimating your character.."To retain purity of character if one's associates are base i : : a i zx -uiu jguouie la an uiiposaiuuuy. ;\uu i1 would seem equally impossible to live an impure, vicious, wicked life if all our associates are noble and virtuous. We are influenced unconsciously by the words and actions of our friends. Like the chameIcon, we take on the hue of our surroundings and reflect the likeness of our companions. The human heart under normal conditions craves companionship. From the beginning it was so. God saw that it v,as not good for man to be alone, so He gave him a companion and helpmeet. We are so constituted that we must have some one with whom to share our happy hours, some good, true friend who enters into our experiences with sympathetic appreciation, whose heart aches in our sorrow and rejoices in our joy. The Btrangest truth contained in all God's wonderful volume of truth is that He who created the universes, the Lord God Omnipotent, whose wisdom is omniscience, whose goodness is perfection, whose name is love, that He should condescend to become the companion and associate of man, His creature. I said that this is the itrangest truth. Let me take it back. There is one truth more astounding yet. 'Tis this?that man should refuse the friendship and disdain the companionship of Jehovah, his God. ui an me divine Humiliations wnat couia be geater than this, that He should seek the friendship of mortal man and find it not? That He should offer Himself for the closest and most intimate relationship, as a companion for life's pilgrimage, a comrade for life's struggles, an associate and confidant amid all life's changing scenes, and yet be rejected! The trouble is and has ever heen when men have rejected God that they love the darkness rather than the light, becau^ their deeds are evil. From the opening chapters of human history until now it has been true that man. the creature, has been out of harmony with God, the Creator. It is refreshing, therefore, to find in the Inspired record, amid the genealogies of ancient nobodies who liv^d long, bore children, and eventually died, the story of one holy life, a man who walked with God and who pleased God. From this fragmentary sketch of Enoch's life, reading between the lines and penetrating beneath the surface of the words which contaic his biography, we may discover some helpful truths concerning divine companionship. To walk with God implies, first of all, reconciliation with God. Man by nature is not on good terms with his Maker. Time was when the most, loving intimacy and harmonious relationship existed between them. "Adam walked with God in the garden in the cool of the dav." Not before Him as a herald, nor behind Him as a slave, but beside Him. as His companion, and I- had almost said His equal. But something came between them. They had & falling out. As one has expressed it, "Sin came and opened the mighty chasm of separation, and since then the carnal mind has been enmity against God." The Father'6 heart has yearned for reconciliation, but how could reconciliation be made? The heart of man was wholly estranged. An impassable gulf yawned between him and his Creator. He had sinhed against Divine Majesty and forfeited the Divine favor. But The love of God is broader Than the measure of man's mind; And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind." Therefore. "God, who is rich in mercv, for His great love wherewith He loved us, ev?n when we were dead in sins," determined to bridge the chasm, to heal the breach and win back the affections alienated by sin. He sent Christ into the world as Mediator. And He, who is our peace. "Hath made both one. and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us, having abolished in His flesh the enmity," and reconciled us unto God by His death on the cross. Acceptance of Jesus Christ is the basis of reconciliation with God. On no other terms can our estrangement be healed. The trouble began when men insisted upon turning every one to his own way. The difficulties are perfectly and satisfactorily adjusted when man is willing to turn back into God's way. And whenever one reaches the point of willingness to accept Jesus Christ, then he begins to walk in newness of life, and walking thus he makes a discovery. He discovers that "Old things are passed away, and all things are become uew." Patrick Daley, of Boston, had the right idea ?f_the new birth.- lie wa. a Catholic by profession, but a drunkard by practice. He attended an evangelistic service and for the first time in his life heard the gospel. He made a complete surrender to Christ, and was deVvered from tiie bondage of drink. A few weeks afterward he approached Dr. A. J. Gordon with a problem which had perplexed him greatly. Said he: "You see, your reverence, I know a good thing when I get it, and when I found salvation I couldn't keep it to myself. Peter Murphy lived up stairs in the same tenement with me. He was a worse drunkard than I, if that could be, and we had gone on many a spree together. Well, when I got saved and washed clean in the blood of Jesus Christ, I was so happv ] didn't know what to do with myself. So I went up to Murphy and told him what I had got. He was just getting over a spree and felt pretty sick and sore, and was rehdy to do anything I told him. .So I got him to sign the pledge and told him .Jesiw alone could help him keep it. Then I got him on his knees and made him pray and surrender to the Lord a? I had done. You never see such a change in a man as there was in him for the next week. 1 kept wntch of him and prayed for him and helped him on the bert I could, and sure, he was a different man. .Well, come Sun (lay morning, Joe Healer called around fo | pay his usual vimt. He used to come every Sunday and brine a bottle of whisky I with lino, and them two would spree it all j day until they turned the whole house into j a bedlam. Well, I saw Healey coming ia^t Sunday morning, and i was afraid it would be all v.p with poor Murphy if ho got witb him. I went down to the door, and when he a.sked if Murphy was in I said. 'No, Murphy is out. He don't live here any j longer.' So I sent Healey off and saved j Murphy from temptation. But what I j want to know, your reverence, is this, did I tell a lie? I meant that the old Murphy did not live there any more. You know Mr. Moody told us that when a man is converted he is a new creature: old things ; have passed away. I believe Murphy is a j new creature, and that the old Murphy ; does not live any more in that attic." "If any man he in Christ he is a new i creation. Old uhings are passed away; be- | hold all things are become new." After a j man makes this discovery he begins to learn important truths. He learns that he must now walk, not after the flesh, but after the spirit. This is by no means an easy thing to do. I wonder how many have mastered this art? 'Tis one that cannot be acquired in a single lesson. I sometimes think we shall never know perfectly how to walk after the Spirit so long as we bear th:s body of flesh. There Js much misapprehension on this point. Not a few kave been sorely perplexed, and | some have been quite disheartened in their I attempts to malce the plain lacts 01 tneir | experience fit certain doctrines taught j from the Scriptures. Here is a typical ex- j ample. A yountr man entered upon the I Christian life. There was no doubt as to the genuineness of his conversion. He accepted Christ intelligently, and with an earnest purpose to give Him a loyal service. He had run the whole gamut of sinful indulgence, but the change in his life I was a radical one. He ceased to do evil and tried to learn to do good. But lie was hindered by old habits and tendencies which still lurked in his flesh. The struggle was fierce and he faced it heroically, until one day more severely tempted than usual lie went to his pastor and said: "It's no use, I might as well give up trying. I have been guilty of some of the same old sins that I used to indulge in. and I won't be a hypocrite, so you can take my name | off the record." The pastor made use cE j his Master's method, and answered the | young man with a parable. It was the oM | story of a farmer who was plowing in a I meadow lot. He kept his eyes fixed on ? | tree at the farther end of the field, and determined to make his first furrow as j straight as possible. That was to be his j guiding line, and it was his intention to ma.i:e eacn lurrnw as siraigni as me ursi. He succeeded fairly well for awhile, until a bird flew close to his face and startled him so that he jerked on the rein with the result a crook in his furrow. Several times in the course of his plowing he got off the line, but just as soon as he discovered his deflection he pulled back and got on the straight line again. How aptly this illustrates the initial experience of a child of God. He starts out with the determination to w^Jk in the footsteps of his Master. That is the central purpose of his heart. His new nature throbs with a single motive of loyalty to Christ. But in his immature condition he blunders, he flies into a passion perhaps, or indulges some old sinful habit, forgetting his new relationship with God, and he makes a crook in his furrow. But in the instant when he comes to himself he repents of his deflection and, fixing his eyes upon Jesus, he gets back on the line and tries again. Such deviations from tjie line of rectitude often dishearten young Christians. Their blunders of immaturity | are mistaken for tokens of insincerity. Walking with Christ in the school of experience thev will learn that the evidence of their loyalty to Him in whose footsteps they seek to follow, is not found in the absolute perfection of their walk. The real test lies in their immediate repentance ana turning hack to the line when a de- i viation or deflection has been discovered. , A soul-inspifing truth that one ought to grasp at the beginning of the Christian life is that walking with God lesds ultimately j to God's house. A beautiful commentary j on this point was that made bv a little . girl, as related by Dr. Morgan, of London. | Her mother questioned her about the les- j son learned at Sunday-school. She had j been studying Enoch, and told her mother j that he was a man who used to take long walks with God. And one day they went | for an extra long walk, and God said to I Enoch, "You are a long way from home. | Enoch, and you had better come in and stay with Me." It has been truly said that: "Heaven 5a sometimes spoken of as a place, admission to whicU is gained by some lenient act of ; divine amnesty. People speak of going to I heaven as though it were a concert room, | to enter which a ticket only is required. [ Nothing could be more unscriptural. | ITeaven is not a place into which we are j admitted, but a place into which we grow. ! It is little short of foolish the way some j talk of going to heaven when they die. j They exclude God from their life on earth. ' They find no love in His r^esence here. | Heaven would be a place of painful im- i prisonment." The felicities of the heavenly country | will be conditioned largely upon our capacity to receive. And our capacity to receive will be determined by our ability to serve. The service of heaven will be a service of love. I think we should stifle in the atmosphere of heaven's love unless we had learned to breathe in its purity and \ live in its beauty here below,' One must j learn to keep step with Jehovah here and j now if he would enter upon the joys of the divine presence hereafter. Learn to (pve ! what God loves, and hate what God hares. Get in step with Him to-day and let Him ! be jour companion for life. I i "They Shall See God." A mighty twofold fact runs to and fro ! through all the earth and under the earth and over it high and far. Many do not j see it or hear it and therefore do not feel it. but nevertheless there is no other thought so real, so vital and overwhelming 1/nnu-n tn anipnre rvr hiHtnrv or revelation. This mighty fact is the immanence and the providence of Almighty God, in all thine?, through all things and for all things. He has created man and put Himself under universal and ceaseless obligations and responsibilities to His creatures. To know this is an indescribable privilege. but to ignore it or treat it as a myth is the acme of idiocy or perversity. To see the divine presence and power in all things that we see, and to discern I-Tim wherever we go and wherever we are, is to discern the revealed secret that "in Him we live and move and have our continued existence." And so it shall come to pass that the King's children shall all see ' Books in the running brooks Sermons in stones And good (God) in everything." ?Christian Century. The Test. Favoring circumstances rare'y bring out the befit in anybody. Fair weather is no test of a ship's strength. The bright pupil is no test of the teacher's ability. If one is at his best only when everything goes well, one's best needs to become ji great deal better. Fair-weather success is a hot- , house growth, and the world is not a hothouse. It is the dull pupil who proves I whether the teacher can really teach. It is the "bad boy" who proves whether the teacher can really love. The "oft year" in business is the year that weeds out the weak and incapable, and that shows to the businesses which survive wherein lies their real strength and their real weakness.
