VOL. FORTY-NINE: NO. 1
OUR AFFAIRS AND EUROPE'S]
II wo could build a wall a mile '
high around the United States of
America and put a roof over it so no
body could come in or go out of it by
air, the people of this country could
probably get along very w>ell with
out any contacts of any kind with
the redt of the world.
Wo would miss our tea and coffee,
which wo haven't succeeded yet in
growing in the United States. We
would have to get along without any
silk. We would have to give up choc
olates and cocoa. UnlesB we found
some way to make rubber out of
?iwdu?t of something el e, we would
have to run our automobiles without
any tires. We would have to be
pretty economical about shoos, since
we depend very largely upon other
countries for hide? and leather. We
wouldn't have very many fur coats.
We would have to get along, in short
without a lot of things we are ac
customed to. But on the whole, we j
probably could manage to be com- 1
fortable and reasonably prosperous j
if wo didn't import a single commo
dity from any other part of the
?world.
Of course, we would have to cut
?'wn on t great deal of our farm
production. We raise more wheat,
more corn, more cotton, more tobacco
nvoi\? of a number of other farm pro
ducts than we in the United States'
can consume. We mine more cop
per, more iron, more of .several other
metal than our domestic needs call
for. V/e would Vhave to shut down a
lot of mines and abandon a lot of
far-na and find some other occupation
for the miners and farmers thus
thrown out of work. We produce
wore oil than we can use, ^iO we would
"have to cap a lot of oil wells and n
bandon a lot of pipe line3. We make
more automobiles, more electrical e
quipement, more sewing machines,
more typewriters, more fertilizers,
more cameras, pianos and other man
ufactured products than we can use,
and so a lot of the factories would
have to shut down or curtail product
ion. But, on the whole, perhaps we
could get along if we did noj business
with the rest of the world. We
wouldn't have to bother building any
Bhips, but, of course w>e could find
something else for the shipbuilders
to do. ,
Tt seems to us that the complete
answer to the people who think we
ought not to have anything to do
with Europe lies in those facts. Until
and unless the economic prosperity
of the rest of the world is restored to
the point where foreign nations can
buy our surplus products again, w*
cannot look for a great or perma
nent revival of our own prosperity.
And sinco tho rest of the world can
not buy our goods unless we buy
theirs, the problem of world pro=
r-arity depends for its solution large
ly upon the restoration ' of our own
prosperity. 1
There is no escaping tho conclusio '
that neither our nation nor any other
can stand alone.
APPLE TIME
Tho applo picking season has ar
ri\ h|. All over tho United State tho
annual crop of this mosit widely dis
trihuted and most generally popular I
of all fruits has begun. In most
sections, we understand. this is *
nrHty good npplv year. The yield Is
larger than usual but, like every
thing else, prices are down.
The apple has become such a dis
tinctively American product that
most people do not realize that, liko
"wheat, rice, cotton, oranges and many
of our other fruits and crops the np
ple was imported from Europe. In
deed, about the only farm product
which America has given to the rest
of the world are tobacco, potatoes,
corn and turkeys.
In thirty-six out of the forty-eight
state*, the annual apple crop is largo
end 'mportant enough to figure, in
the government reports. Washington
crows tho most applet ? more than
thirty-seven million bushels a year.
"New York State is second, producing
'more htan twenty-sevon million bu
ahels. In the whole United F/tates th-p
Annual crop of ripple* shipped to
market averages above one hundred
and fifty million bushels.
Few fruits can bo used in so many
different ways, all good. Apples are
good eating, whether raw or baked
' or madw into apple sauce. They are
In the estimation of epicures, the
moifc aatisfactory of all vpie fillings.

all over the country have been busier

can take any exception to "sweet cider
in any quainty, and even Congress
has not found a way to repeal the
natural, law of fermentation which
will change sweet cider into hard ci

TWICE HORN MEN
Kt'v. J. Keels, Bethune, S C
! We have been born into a world of
' suffering, selfishness, sin. Have we
been born again?
I "Ye must be born again," Je3us
| told Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
I (See Jno. 3:7).
I What did Jesus mean by this new
| birth? We mu3t liv*> a new life. To
j be born again is to begin anew. Isn't
j it wonderful that we can be$*in life
I apain ? start all over anew? We
must haw a new nature ? new aims,
new principles, new affections. This
new birth is a change wrought in the
i heart by God in connection with the
use of the truth of His Word. God's
I work of cleansing the heart is called
I regeneration or the new birth. Man's
I part is to believe on Christ. Viewed
from the human side this change is
called conversion.
Men have been born again. Twice
born men have left their impress up
:>n the history of the world. The
most notable instance that we know
anything about is Saul of Tarsus who
became Paul the Apostle.
Harold Begbie, a student of Wil
liam James, wrote a book, 'Twice
Born Men', in which he showed that
conversion is the only means by
which a radically bad person can be
changed into a radically good per
son. He tells of the conversion of
:i number of men including one called
Jld Born Drunk.
Maybe none of us are in the con
dition of Old Born Drunk*. But
what did Jesus tell Nicodemus, a
teacher of the Jews?
Jesus told him, '"Ye must be born
again."
A man said the other day, "Don't
you thin1< that there are many moral
men and women in the church who
are not real Christians?" Is this
.rue? It is not enough to be moral.
Nicodemus, no doubt, was a moral
man.
| "Ye must be born again."
Our family connections will not
save us. Our Church connections will
not save us. We must be born again.
A church of twice born men would
put the forces of darkness to route
and with a passion for souls tell the
world of Christ.

A C A RUHR OPENS UP
Ib /it not high time for a larger
reverence to be given to that quiet
unassuming Joseph tho Father of
Jesus? To Mary, his wife, the
church has assigned a place of eter
nal glory; and no thoughtful man
?an fail to be thankful for it But
with the glorification of Mary, there
has been an almost complete neglect
of Joseiph. This is partly because
Mary lived to be known and remem
bered by the disciples, while nobody
remembered Joseph.
Was he just nn untutored peasant,
married to a superior woman, and
lmffed by the genius of a son whom
lit? could never understand? Or was
'there, underneath h i -= selfeffacenrent,
a vigor and faith that moulded the
boy's plastic years? Was ho a hap
py companion to the youngsters?
Did he carry the youngest, laughing
and crowing on his shoulders from
the shop To those questions the
narrative gives no answer. And since
this is so? we have a right to form (
o'\r own conception of the character
of this vastly significant and' wholly
unknown man, and to be guided by
the one momentous fact which we do
know.
It is this. He must have been j
friendly and patient and fine; he >
riiust have seemed to his children to
be an almost ideal parent for when
J-esus sought to give mankind; a new
oonception of the character of (iod, 1
he could find no more exalted term '
for his mean'ng than the one word |
"Father." I
Thirty years went by. Jesus had
discharged his duty; the younger
children wero big enough for self
suppor.t. The strange stirrings that
had gorio on inside him for yearn
were crystallized by the reportr* ?
John's success. The hour of the great
decision arrived}' he hung up hi*
tools and walked out of town.
What sort of , looking man was he
that day when he appeared on the
bank of the Jordan and applied
John for baptism? Unfortunately ?
the Gospel na.r native* supply no da' I
Infylng answer to Ihoae qii<>*tions; '
and the only passage in ancient lit
erature which purports to be a des
cription of him has been proved a
forgery. Nevertheless, it requires
only a little reading between the
lines to be sure that almost all the
painters have misled us. They have
shown us a frail man, under-mu*cled,
with a soft face ? a woman's face
covered by board ? and a benign Y
baffled look, as though the problems
of living were so grievous that death
would l>e a welcome release.
This is nob the Jesus at wTiose
word the disciples left their business
to enlist in an unknown cause.
And for proof of that assertion
consider only four aspects of his ex
perience: the health that flowed out
of him to create health in others; the
appeal of his personality to women ?
weakness does not appeal to th< m
his lifetime of outdoor living; an 1
the steel-like hardness of his nerve;.

Fifty and Fit ?
A MAN is as old ? or as young ?
as his organs.
At fifty, you can be in your
prime.
Why go along with "fairly good
health" when you might be enjoying
vigor you haven't felt for years?
There':* a simple little thing any
one can do to keep the vital organs
stimulated, and feel fit all the time.
People don't realize how sluggish
they've grown until they've tried it.
The stimulant that will stir your
system to new life is Dr. Caldwell's
syrup pepsin. It will make a most
amazing difference in many toajjs.
This famous doctor's prescription
is a delicious syrup made with fresh
herbs, active senna, and pure pep
sin. It starts its good work with the
first spoonful. That's n!l you neexi
to drive away the dullness and
headache of a bilious spell, and rid
the system of that slow poison that
saps your strength. It's netter than
a tonic for tired bowels, and unlike
habit-forming laxatives you can
take it freely or give it to any child.
And it isn't expensive.
(let some syrup pepsin today, and
take a little tonight. Don't wait
until you're sick to give your system
this wonderful help. You can avoid
those spells of biliousness or consti
pation. A spoonful every now and
then is better than constant worry
about the condition of your bowels,
or fear of auto-intoxication as you
grow older. Dr. Caldwell's syrup
pepsin protects the system aft All
druggists keep this preparation
