THE ELM PEELER.
A >Ioney-Maklnir Bvlnem That Initial]lane

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. Elm Peeler Hiller in. j
sists that unless the planting of elms j
is made an extensive industry by the !
farmers, in n few years the elm will be j
extinct, and it is necessary to have j
them for the medicine ih<?y contain.? '

A SERMON FOR SUNDAY
AN ELOQUENT DISCOURSE ENTITLED.
'DIVINE COMPANIONSHIP."
The Rev. Charles E. 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

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.
Let us rejoice at every test that
comes to us. Let us not be deceived by
our fair-weather successes.?Sunday-School
