Saturday
| Sermon
If man desires heaven. If he desires to
live happily after death, then he will
go to the Lord in His word and in the
heavenly doctrines to find in what the life
of heaven consists and the way thither.
One of the first things that he will learn
la that of himself he cannot live that life,
nor walk in the way thither, but is dis
posed to an altogether different. life, and
Inclined to an opposite way—thus in and
of himself he is lost.
Now the nature of man is the nature
of all men. the nature and disposition of
the world, and so the word and Its doc
trine are given for the instruction and
enlightenment of all men throughout the
world. Why. then, it may be asked, is
the word among only a few of the inhab
itants of the earth, and the heavenly doc
trines of the New Jerusalem among still
fewer? The Lord neglects no one. He
came into the world to save all. and He
is perpetually coming for that same pur
pose, but He made His appearing to those
who are in the lowest and most hopeless
state of evil and to these He comes di
rectly. but to others He comes indirectly,
that is. they are saved by virtue of the
salvation of the former. For example:
The Word has been among a class of
people which are called Christians, but
this class is composed of few in compari
son with the rest of earth’s Inhabitants
who have not the word. The salvation of
this latter class, whom we shall call guil
ty, depends upon the way the M ord is
received and believed among the Chris
tians. The peoples of the earth are as
sociated together in the sight of the Laird
as the members, organs and viscera of
the body in man so that all men taken
together constitute greater men, and if
all men on all earths be included, the
greatest man. The region whers the Word
is is the heart and lungs of this greater
or greatest man, and In this region is call
ed Christendom.
But at His second coming the Lord
msde ail things new and therefore He
revealed Himself in the interior of His
word to an altogether new people. 1. e.,
to a people who had not the word, but
would perceive its inmost sense. And at
the same time He opened the interior
sense or the spiritual- sense to the few
who were left in Christendom with some
affection of truth, I. e.. some desire to
know and live the life that leads to Him.
Thus He revealed the word to the men
of Celestial genius in the interior of Afri
ca and to the man of splendid genius in
Christian lands In Europe and America.
Altogether the Word was among the
people of Christendom, still it had ceased
to be received and believed aright. It had
become the means of teaching and con
firming falisity and that means that it
was used to support and defend evil.
On account of these reasons and many
others which might be given, the word
has become totally perverted and falsified
among Christians, and therefore it has be
come necessary for the Lord to come again
to open its interior in oriltr that they
may be seen and received. For the Son
of Man is come to save that which was
lost.
What think ye? If a man have a hun
dred sheep, and one of them be gone
astray, doth he not leave the ninety and
nine and go into the mountains and seek
that which is gone astrey?’ The sheep on
the mountains are celeatlAl, who are in the
good of life, thus in innocence and truth,
but that one gone astray is the spiritual
church or the man of spiritual genius,
who is not In the good of life because he
Is in the falsity of ignorance and evils
thence. In a general sense those words
refer to the man of the old church who
has been misled by the false dogmas of
his faith into evils of Use and persuasions
of thought that are against the Lord and
contrary to the truth of His word. In a
less general sense they refer to the man
of the New Church who Is continually
being led away from a true understanding
of and obedience to the precepts of the
word by the evil affections and false judg
ments of his natural disposition—that Is,
the old church, which he has either in
herited from his ancestors or acquired by
his own habit of thought and life.
The sheep assembled together on the
mountains grazing peacefully are like the
men of the celestial church who live In
mutual love and are perpetually sustained
out of the abundance of spiritual food
stored In the word of the. Lord. They live
in innocence and perfect trustfulness, con
tent with their lot and they are led from
day to day by their Master, who is the
true and only Shepherd of the sheep.
But the one who has strayed away from
the Hock is like the man of the spiritual
church, who has followed after self-devis
ed theories, or mere human notions and
conceits and by them formed for himself
false judgments which have persuaded
him and seduced him. The man of the
spiritual church has lost his way, he has
separated himself from the flock, he has
turned back from following the leadership
of the Shepherd. He thought he could do
better for himself alone, he would go the
way of his own desire and pleasure, and
so he began to descend from the mountain
and at length lost himself in among the
dark valleys of death’s shadow; the night
of despair came upon him, and the cold
mists of false dogmas settled down around
him. In such a plight man finds himself,
and into such grief and misery he leads
himself when he forsakes the mutual love
of his neighbor, which is the haven-sent
bond of safety for each and for all. and
when he turns away from following the
precepts of the Shepherd by which each
and every flock is tended and defended.
Now ye all are sheep in the sheepfold
of the Good Shepherd, who is Jesus
Christ your Lord, and If ye will obedient
ly follow Him ye will feed In the moun
tains of His holiness and never go astray.
He will lead you dally to pastures of
tender herbs and make you to He down
by the side of restful waters, for He will
refresh you with heavenly meat and drink
when your souls are awearied by their
burdens. Confide in Him then, I be
seech you. trust Him and He will lead you
out of ail your miseries by the great
power of His infinite love according to the
way of His tender mercy. Though you
seek the fulfillment of your own desires
and are led in consequence by its false
light of human conceit and error, yet will
He go down to search for you there In
the pit or the thorn thicket and lead you
gently back jnto the fold. How often
have you strayed away in times passed
and been recovered! By this ye may see
and believe in His eternal mercies, and
how it is true that the Bon of Man is come
to save that which is 105 t...
Remember that it is the divine love
and the divine truth of your Lord and
Shepherd which make the sheepfold of
the church, that He is striving to lead you
therein, to keep you there in perfect safe
ty, and to give you more and more to en
joy the bliss of innocence and peace.
There ye may see Him standing before
you the only divine man and your only
Father, your only Lord and Master. There
you may hear Him discoursing out of the
book of His holy word, telling you the
great mysteries of His glorification by
which He has made it possible for you
and all His human creatures to be bom
anew, to be redeemed fro'm the hell of
■in, and then lifted up for ever and ever
into eternal happiness in His heavenly
kingdom. There you hear Him teach
ing you about yourself, showing you the
\dle and hideous nature of your selfhood
and how you must be lost Inevitably un
less you truly repent and forsake the
way of your own chojce and the judg
ments of your own conceit and pride.
There you perceive His holy presence en
lightening your mind to see clearly the
nature of His all-embracing love and
the wise way of Hia eternal care and
providence of your souls. There only

L_ How Manis Saved By the Lord. |
:• TEXT—“FOR THE 3ON OF MAN IS COME TO SAVE THAT £
:• WHICH WAB LOST."—MATTHEW XVIII: 11.$
;i BY REV? mCKARD "h/ KEE~<PABf OR CHURCH'bF THE %
:•* NEW JERUSALEM. g
you are enabled to realise His love and
great mercy whereby He tenderly draws
you out of your selfish Inclinations and
iittle by little leads you away from world
ly pleasures. When you stand on a moun
tain top you may see the nature of tha
land beneath you far and wide—but from
the plain below it is not posAble* to per
ceive It extensively. . ‘
Just so is it with the man of tnekhurcb.
He who looks down upon from
the vantage ground of the truMra of rev
elation illuminated by the divine light
proceeding out of the sun of heaven may
clearly see the nature and quality of his
disposition and habits, but not so he
who is not lifted up onto the mount of
Zion in Jerusalem.
The general lesson es the text then may
be divided into two phases which are yet
distinctly one and mutually dependent.
First, the man who is willing to be re
generated and saved must see and con
fess that his wickedness, his self-hood, his
own desires and his own conceits are in
fernal and vile and therefore that they
could destroy his soul In hell, if the son
of man had not come to save that which
was lost.
Secondly. There is a church which the
Lord has established on the tops of the
the mounts. 1. e., in which is the essential
good of the life of heaven and the essen
tial trujh of the doctrine of heaven where
in man is prepared for life everlasting. If,
however, he should stray away from the
mountain and go down into the villages, if
he should forsake the principles which
make the church, the Lord will go to him
and will show him the way of return. The
man who is willing to he shown this way
and to return by means of It is he who is
ready to submit himself entirely and un
oonditlonally to the leadership of the di
vine doctrines now sent Into the world
by him who Is doctrine Itself because he
Is the one only divine teacher.
This lesson seems a hard one for the
men of the spiritual church to learn, but
Primitive Schools of Georgia Reviewed.
I THINK that during the last
year, in our article on “Education
in Georgia,” I gave a glance at
an old field school, but this fea
ture of Georgia life is too important to
be passed over so hurriedly. The first
schools in Georgia were the primary
schools of Savannah and Ebene*er.
The first school teacher in Georgia was
in all likelihood Charles Delamotte,
who came with his friends, John and
Charles Wesley, to Savannah, expect
ing to go among tha Indians as a mis
sionary. He went back to England
with Mr. Wesley, and James Haber
sham took his place as the parish
schoolmaster. The Germans at Ebenez
er had a school from their first settle
ment in Effingham county, and the
Dorchester people In Liberty brought
their teacher with them to the Midway
settlements in 1760. It is certain that
the Scotch-Irish who were in Jefferson
and Burke had schools, but of them we
know nothing historically. My friend,
Cx»l. James Barrett, says his great
grandfather, a Mr. Hays, taught a
school in upper Burke, and in an old
Journal of Jdhn Andrew, the father
of Bishop Andrew, I find a graphic
picture of a county school he taught in
Wilkes in 1792. There was a provision
made in the first constitution in 1777,
for a system of public schools like to
that in New England, for the most in
fluential element in the religious and
educational features of early Georgia
was the Puritan, and the views of the
New England Puritans en the Sabbath
and on educJation were incorporated in
to our earliest laws, but when the rev
olution came and the overflowing flood
of Immigrants poured into Georgia
from Virginia and North Carolina a
new order of things obtained. Virginia
and not New England then gave direc
tion to the new society.
The Virginia people had had no com
mon schools, and while many of the
gentlemen were educated and well edu
cated In private schools, the plain peo
ple had few advantages, and the old
field school was brought from Virginia
to North Carolina into upper South
Carolina and Georgia. We got a
glimpse of it In Governor Gilmer’s
Georgians In John Andrew’s Journal,
in Judge Longstreet’s stoj-y of the
“Turn Out,’ 4 and in Malcolm John
son's story of how “Berry Whipped the
School Master.” The school house was
always in the country, generally at the
cross roads, if there was a good spring
nead by. It was of logs with very
large cracks between them, sometimes
the more pretentious had a stick and
dirt chimney—none of them had glass
windows, and the light came tn
through the door, and two openings
which were without sash, but were
closed with board shutters. The seats
were made of split logs, or when saw
mills came in, of puncheons. The chil
dren had the privilege of' bringing
chairs and often brought split bottom
ones for better seats. The was
of split logs or coarse boards. There
was nothing attractive* about the
school rooms, or its surroundings, but
schools were not places to be enjoyed.
They were places for very hard work,
and the little fellows found not a
little suffering. The teacher was often
a young boy, which having learned
how lo read and write and cipher was
seeking a place and sometimes he was
a preacher, who had no Income from
his srork in the pulpit, and taught a
subscription school, to add to whaLhe
made by his work on his little farm,
during hie spare time. Sometimes he
was a trifling adventurer, who taught
a three months’ school and then
went on a debauch*, and left the com
munity. Some of these schools and
some, of the teachers were much bet
ter than others. Andrew B. Stephens,
the father of Alex H. Stephens, taught
one of the best of these scheols in
Wilkes county, and among some old
papers In Wilkes, I found a bill made
out to the “estate of Wyllle Wright,
for teaching two students twelve
months. >16.00.” The account Is dated
Christmas day, 1806.
The tuition paid John Andrews was
>6.00 for 12 months. This was the gen
eral rate. The studies were nearly al
ways, as the country folks used to say,
in the three R’s—“Readln’, Ritin’ and
Rithmetic”—but the girls were not
generally taught to cypher. The first
book was sometimes a horn book, of
which I never saw but one. It was
made of two pieces of transparent
horn, between which there were letters
and short syllables, or a paddle on
which were pasted the A, B, C, D’s.
The old Dilworth’s speller then came,
and in later days the. picture primers,
and then the blue-back speller. School
began at 8 in winter and 7 in summer.
The picture of the village school mas
ter in "The Deserted Village” is the
picture of the higher order es old field
school masters. He was very rigid in
his discipline. In many of the schools,
as in China now, the little fellows were
compelled to study aloud, and If one
was caught keeping silent the teach
er touched him up with a switch.
There were first the a, b, c. duicans,
as they were called, then a first, second
and third classes In spelling; then the
reading from the spelling book, and
perhaps from the Young Reader or the
Testament.
The discipline of the school was very
rigid. To spare the rod was to spoil
l not for the man of the Christian church,
i Why? Simply because in the one case
man does not quickly yield his persuasions
and deny his pleasures and follow the
master, but in the other he does. The
spiritual man labors in his regeneration,
the celestial man performs st once the
principles of goodness and truth which
are Inscribed on nis heart. The spiritual
man may make the labors of hM regen
i eration easier for him by holding ms judg
ment in suspense before being persuaded
that it is sound and safe for him to fol
low. So he will £-rov7 more and more de
i liberate and careful lest he should lead
i nis Ideas into error and be mistaken in
his opinion. He takes this method of safe
guarding others .rom the natural con-
■ celts, contempts, enmities and hatreds of
his inherited disposition. And he may
cheek the love of self which incline him
to permit na other way but his own, by
consulting the pleasure or convenience, or
, satisfsetien of ot-.-re. Not only where it
I is jeasy for him to so deny himself but
| where it is naturally very difficult. By
such sacrifices this love Is broken of its
tenacious persistence and by no other
means. Until then man calls the slavery
o. lust freedom and enjoys its insane
pleasuses. But by regeneration the laws
of self and the world are removed and
man loves the Lord and his neighbor.

the child, and punishment was very
sure. Sometimes the little fellow was
whacked on the shoulders, sometimes
his bare legs eaught the rod. and some
times, in aggravated cases, a stout
boy took the eulprit on his back and
carried him around the room, and his
teacher had a fair ehance at him.
Sometimes he was tapped on the head
by the teacher’s knuckles, and some
times his unkempt hair was pulled
very vigorously. In some way or other
his derelictions received their just re
ward. The stricter ths discipline, the
higher the estimate in- which the
teacher was held by ths parents. Ev
erything in tbs school was awfully dig
nified. and the master was the auto
crat from whose decrees there was no
appeal.
The barring out of the master as It
was called in England, was called the
"turning out of the teacher” in Geor
gia. It was the great event of the
year in the old field schools. The
graphic sketch of the "Turn Out” in
Judge Longstreet’s Georgia Senses,
was an accurate account of one which
the judge had doubtless seen. The
scholars, soma of whom were grown,
came to the school house and
took possession They barred the
windows, fastened the door, and were
ready for an attack. The teacher
was not to surrender without
a struggle. Ha refused to capitulate.
He demanded, ifnmedlata submission,
but the scholars held the fort. Ho
broke ini; they tackled him, and at last
he surrendered and gave the treat,
which was, alas, .sometimes, a gallon of
brandy and sometimes a holiday, and
was released.
Writing when steel pens were un
known and paper was very scarce,
was a rare art. Few country boys
learned to write well and few coun
try girls learned to write at all. A
grammar, a geography, a philosophy,
were never heard of. The cost of the
books of one third grade school in At
lanta would have supplied the entire
school of 30 boys and girls In the
first of the century. There would
have been needed 30 spelling books and
five arithmetics and ten Testaments,
for all of them, and the whole outfit
would have coat less than >5. There
was no provision made for those who
could not pay tuition. The school
was a subscription school and the 50
cents a month had to be paid, but
could be paid in work on the teacher's
farm, or with a bushel of corn, or with
ten pounds of pork, o> by splitting 200
rails, but it had ta be paid. These old
field schools were the beginning
schools of many who afterward went
to Dr. Waddell or Mr. Springer, and
learned the classics, but they were
the only schools ever attended by
many a man who became the leading
planter in hia county, and who went
to the "legislatur,” as ke called it,
when he chose.
There are many of The Journal
readers who find in thjs description of
old field schools a picture of schools
such as they have known in the last
twenty yeans.
When the state began to make ap
propriations to education some coun
ties received twice as much from the
state treasury as they paid into it tn
taxes and it was a bonanza and many
an old squire, who ruled his “dees
trick,” but could not read, got the
“scute” for his '‘darter.” who “could
read and rite and wphur,” a better
day has dawned and perhaps my old
friend. Professor Glenn, would have
been more popular if ho had been
less relent less in his fight against the
inefficiency of teachers. Despite all
the humble surroundings of these
schools of our fathers, and though
they were far from being up to our
modern ideas, thsre came out of them a
body of men who feared God and
wrought righteousness, and who rever
enced both the laws es God and man.
The people were poor, for rich people
don't settle on frontiers. High schools
were few and far apart. The settlers
were scattered, they had come from
the frontiers of North Carolina and
Virginia, where they had had a few ad
vantages, to Georgia, where they had
nothing. They had fought the British
and tories and Indians. They had no
chance to secure mental training and
did not secure an education from
books, but one of these sturdy boys,
who wrestled and ran races, and
climbed trees, and hunted possums and
coons, and studied Dillworth’s speller,
the Young reader and Smythe’s arith
metic by tallow candle light and light
wood fires, was worth a thousand of
these modern, cigarette smoking, beer
drinking, theatre-going dudes, who
descended from these worthy people,
is anxious now to deny that he came
from any other than ducal parentage,
and had ever any connection wltn
anybody who signed his name,

weather, gentlemen,”
remarked the secretary,
after he had settled
comfortably In his chair and had
thrown up a .billowy fog o! smoke
about him.
‘‘This crisp, fall air makes a man
feel powerfully good. He takes new
Interest in everything. He feels ambi
tious and energetic, and he wants to
get out and take a few good, deep
breaths and jump up and kick his heels
together. The world seems happier
when it is painted in the bright, clear
sunlight of autumn and the aid is full
of the old-fashioned, healthy smell of
burning leaves. I tell you, gentlemen,
I love to see the fields and woods all
purple and golden and feel the snappy
tingle of the cool air on my cheeks.”
• The fall takes me back,” remarked
the janitor, wistfully., ‘‘to those good
old days when I was a little boy in
new boots, wading and kicking in the
clean, dry leaves of the woods. I al
ways used to go nutting about this
time of the year."
"You used to go how?*’ asked the
secretary, who was" somewhat of a
wa«.
' “When I went in the hickory tree
groves for shell-barks and hazel nuts,”
responded the janitor, oblivious of the
secretary's vulgar attempt to be hu
morous. “Ah, those were bully old
days!”
The members smoked in silence for
some minute's. Presently, a faraway
light came into the chairrnan’s eyes.
“Fall always makes me .blue,” he
said, musingly. “There’s a kind of
something in the air that makes me
feel solemn and depressed-like. I have
the same feeling every year and I
s’pose I’ll always have it if I live to
be as old as Methusalum. It’s not an
unhappy feeling—Just a kihd of mourn
ful, blue feeling, like geing out of the
bright, warm sunlight into the gray
shadow*.
"There's something in the air that
always reminds me of the time when
I was a little boy and had to start to
school. I tell you, those were days of
and sorrow for me. When the
summer waned and here and there a
leaf began to fall, I’d begin to count
the days until school would begin. One
week—six days—five days, and so on,
getting more depressed every day. I
think it must be pretty much the same
when a man is to be hanged and he
feels that each passing hour is bring
ing him closer and closer to >.ae end,
and yet nothing in the world that he
can do can stop that pitiless march of
time. He is simply helpless. He can
howl and rave and shake the bars, but
the minutes go trooping by and the
day of execution comes slowly and
grimly nearer. ,
“That's the way I used to feel, gen
tlemen, about tha beginning of school.
They were days of grtat sadness for
me. The world looked drear arid cheer
less. And at last there came the
dreaded day when I could see the final
preparations—when my mother got my
little tin bucket down from the shelf
and fetched my slate and books out* of
the bureau drawer.
“That’s a gloomy morning that first
Monday was. I can still see the kitch
en and the stove and the boiler
bubbling away above the flames. I
can still smell the wash day atmos
phere and see the white bleached piece
of broomstick with which my mother
used to stir the boiling clothes.”
"I can remember the sinking feeling
that came over me. Would nothing,
happen to delay the evil moment? I
can remember how I earnestly diag
nosed myself for some friendly symp
toms of disease. Sometimes if I thaught
real hard. I could fancy that I felt a
vague, uncertain, fleeting pain down
around my stomach and then, oh. how
1 encouraged and rvrsed it! It would
leave me if I diJ-.ft constantly think
of it. ao J had |o try very hard to keep
my hand on it. It was a sort of Chris
tian Science reversed, for in this case I
had to create pain where there was
none. Something told me that there
was no actual suffering,, but still I
didn’t despair. In the meantime, the
old clock had tolled the solemn hour of
eight like a funeral dirge. . The death
march would soon begin unless the
kind Providence that looks out for
drunken men and little children would
strike me low witn some dread malady'

that would last until a few minutes af
ter nine.
“I remember how I envied my little
brother playing cut in the yard. He
was too young to go to school. And I
can remember so distinctly sitting
there in the kitchen, sitting so still
and solemn, while my mother fixed up
my dinner bucket. First , she cut tour
pieces of bread and then sne buttered
them very calmly. Then she cut two
pieces of cold beef that had been left
over from the Sunday dinner. It was
boiled beef, if I remember correctly.
She put these between the pieces of
bread and stowed them away in the
bottom of the bucket, and then she put
in a hard boiled egg and two little pa
per packages of salt and pepper. Let’s
see, now. what came next. I think
she put In a large squashy pickle and
two red apples. Oh, what mlserj- I en
dured! There seemed to be some heavy
weight bearing on me. How sick at
heart I was and. oh. how lonely and
unsympathetic the whole world seemed
to be! What a mockery was the sun
light and the joyous clucking of the
chickens out in the yard!
“I can see mother now. She worked
away at the lunch with averted eyes.
I know she was axraid she’d cry if she
looked at that forsaken, persecuted,
crushed little figure over on the wood
en chair. She tried to hum something,
but the song died on her Ups. Oh, why
could she be so relentless ? Why
couldn’t she tell me that I needn't go
until tomorrow and then we could both
be so happy again. I could see that
she was set hi her purpose. I could feel
the tears well into my eyes and her
figure swam mistily before me. The
lid of the bucket was put on and fast
ened down tight. And.even then she
couldn’t look me straight in the eyes.
“ ‘There,” she said, "see what a nice
dinner I'vs fixed up for my little man.*
“Oh, what a pitiful attempt at cheer
fulness it was—what a hollow pre
tense.
“And then I remember the sudden
feeling of desperation that seized me.
I must do something and do it quickly.
I hastily diagnosed myself as a last
resort, as a drowning man would grasp
at a straw. My head, my arms and my
legs—not a sign of a pain in any of
them. Even my ankle that I had
sprained during the summer would not
come to the rescue. It was hopelessly
well and I did not twinge the least bit
when I twisted it around.
“My stomach—ah! what was that?
It surely did feel kind o’ funny. Yes,
sir; hooray! That was a pain, sure
enough! Only it didn’t stay in the
same place all the time. Part of the
time it would be on this side and then
it would skip over to the other side.
Supposing it was cholera or diphtheria
or something awful; you bet. mother
would be sorry then that she treated
me this way. She’d feel mighty sorry
if I died and the hearse came and
took me away to the burying ground
down near the church. Oh, what joy
seized me as I eagerly. tried to corral
this vagrant pain that hurt awful
when I kept my mind fixed on it.
I decided to make the appeal before
the pain deserted me entirely.
“ ‘Mother,’ 1 said, twitching my face,
‘something hurts awful down here.
Oh. gee, how that hurts! Don’t touch
it.” ,
“But she hadn’t tried to touch me at
all. She was still standing over near
the kitchen table and when I peeped
at her through an eye half dosed by
the throes of agony, I could see that
she was smiling.
‘Well, it does hurt,’ I exclaimed,
angrily, but I could feel the ground
slipping away from under my feet.
" ‘Poor boy,' she said, softly, and
she put her arm around me and kissed
me and said she hoped I’d be better
soon. And then presently I felt her
open my hand and ’put the handle
of my dinner bucket in it, and then
she tucked my books and slate under
my arm and gave me the gent’? shove
that started me on my sad trip to
school.
“ ‘Be a good boy,’ she called out, as
I slowly disappeared around the house.
. I never even looked back or smiled,
for I hoped that I could hurt her feel
ings by repelling any conciliatory at
tempts to 'make up.’ I half wished
that .1 would be run over by a run
away farm team, so that I would
have my revenge when they carried
my mangled remains in through the
gate and up on the porch and then
told mother that her little boy had
been killed Then you bet she’d be
sorry she treated me'this way.
“That’s the way I felt aH morning
in sehooj. If I forgot and cheered
up a little bit. I would impredlately
smother my joy and to my un
happiness. I wasn’t to allow
myself to be happy if I could heip
it.
"But, oh, what a revelation when I
opened my dinner pall! There were
two beautiful crulls, two fine big cook
ies and a fine pkee of fcrow.v butter
scotch. And besides that there was
a little glass half full of blackberry
jam. So then I forgave my mother ard
allowed myself to Le happy once more.
And when I Went home that night I
gave her a fine big bvekeye that I
foend near the schbdl .’rije.’*

The selling of Impure preserves has mafia
but . little trouble in Minnesota until recently,
but the state dairy and food commias'.on ptJ
poses to look after it cloaely.
The impure preserves put on the market ars
made from a basis of applq pumice. Tha
pumice is the refuse of apple parings and ap
ple cores that are thrown aside by the can
neries and evaporators. This refuse material
is baled and sold to concerns that are Inter
ested in getting cheap products on the market.
The refuse is fed through machines that re
duce it to a pulp. The pumice Is then given
an addition of glucose and a dash of flavor
ing and coloring extracts. In this condition
it can be strained so as to come forth a very
marketable jelly.
If preserves are wanted the pumlee is left
unstained and given an addition Os a small
quantity of real fruit. Strawberry’ preserves
are made by throwing in strawberry flavoring
and adding enough timothy seed to keep up an
illusion. Raspberry preserves require appro
priate flavor and color and the addition ‘of
turnip seed instead cf timothy.
These fraudulent preserves and jellies are
not necessarily injurious to health ta all cases,
but the nature of their composition makes them
undesirable materials of commerce, and they
are under the ban of the state Jaw.
