A few weeks ago experts believed

In the early summer most business

23 Nations Present
Since tho year 1J12 when 'the con
vention met at Duluth, Rotary has
been an International organisation,
but it remained for this convention tc
make International Rotary)a fact.
Seventy thousand Rotnrians from 2P
nations represented. One has but to
think for a moment of the method
of organization, and representation
in Rotary, to be overwhelmed with
the possibilities of -tht-i - convention.
The convention city, Edinburgh, is
one of the most picturesque cities of
the world. In the center is a bold rook
crowned by a fanfous and historic
castle. This rock divides the old town
from the-new. To tho cast rise* Cal-

Edinburgh is not only a city of his-
toric interest because of the battles
fought there between Remans,
French, British tribes, Normans, Sax-
ons and others but because of the
R resent city. A city of industries, uii
rersities, church and hospitals, etc.

Hly friends, that the 1,200 cool, level
headed business men cheered them
selves, hoarse when this great speak
er declared that “the only legitimate
end in any business is service” I
seem to be speaking something that
could only happen in heaven. Did tho
founders of Rotary ever drenm of
such a day? And yet this is exactly
what hhppencd. To sum up briefly
the convention is: a, A way; b, A
spirit; c, Dedication of personality.
A Practical Tiling
Rotary builds not on philosophy
/.lone. It hns philosophy, the purest
mid' best as well' as the most- sound
in the world, but it is n practical
thing. The most interesting thing in
this convention was the (record or
boys’ work'. The question nsked by
Rotarian. Bert Adams at Atlantic
City, in the following poem haB boon
pnswered in most places where there
Is n
Rotary club:
“Where arc the men to lend a feuid
ing hand at a boy’s side?
Mpn who will rise in every' land
bridging tho Great Divide,
Nation and Flag nnd Tongue unite
, joining each class and creed.
Here arc tnc -boys who would do right
but where arc tho men
lend?
The boy problem Is not solved hut
tho greatest inspiration (hat lias
come in vur generation has romc in-
the realization THAT IT CAN BE
SOLVED.
INTERNATIONALISM: The Phil
osophy of Rotary soon leads to one
conclusion, and it could lead to but
pne conclusion, that a man is a man
for nil that. Service the objective of
life, anil service cannot be rendered
to institution-: or to hutnuni.y hut to
man. It follows then,.that to .Rotar
ians a man is wor)^ more than a place
in the sun, in the earth or even in
heaven. This being true there was no
power in the world than could haac
kept the ,12th International conven
tion from taking the turn it id to
ward Internationalism. To be as brief
as possible, I will try -a give in three
statements the message of u.j con
vention on this great subject. First:
If a man is to serve, he must be loyal
to one flag, andup|M alone. Loyalty
to the nation whose prtocction you
claim is as essential as fidelity to the
philosophy of service and the philos
ophy of service is u law, the will af
the Almighty. Second; we are Moth
er* everywhere, whatever is good for
man in one nation is. good for every
man in every other nation, and it is
nat difficult U> see that brotherhood,
friendliness and good will are the
greatest aiMta if we would serve and
save. Third :That Rotary is fitted and
privileged as no other power in the
world to bring about this condition.
Another definition of Rotary as was
felt in the atmosphere of the 12th
annual convention might be thus
worded: “Rotary (s an ideal League
of Nations;" not a league wltiy paper
constitution, but a league of men on
the platform of service. As such we
were knighted by the non-Rotary
speakers of the convention. Rotary is
not bound with creeds which beget
opposition or embarrassed on account
of political schemes.

trol from the U. S. Insect Labora
tory at Fort Volley, which laborer
tory furnished tho information for
insect contra! whid's saved Geor-
(la's peach crop this year from cur-
cuilo und^ brown rati
. Recent experiments have proven
conclusively .that paradichloroben
zene will kill from 00 to 100 per cent
of the peach- tree borers if applied
properly, under the right conditions,
it hns been used successfully in n
commercial way by largd groweit
during the past year. All grower*
are strongly advised to take advan
tage of this new means of borer con
trol thia fall and eliminate the ex
pense of worming apd injury to troe*
by worming instruments.
Due to the fact that tho protec- (
tivc tissues nr cork layers of the
bark arc not sufficiently developed
nnd hardened Id n young tree to pro
tect i! from the action of parndich-
torohenzene gas this method of borer
control should\not be used on trees
under six years of age. It can. how-
yVcr, be used with safety on all trees
six years and older.
In order to secure tbe most satis-
’ai-tor.v results from the treatment
directions for Applying the chemical
must be closely followed. Further
more. time of application Is very es
sential, and growers cannot expect to
get tiie desired results unless the ma
terial is applied on or very close to
the date recommended.
Based on tse borer's life history in
Georgia -best results will be obtain
ed by applying the chemical to trees
<n this state about October 10th.
Satisfactory results cannot be expect
ed by applying the material late in
the fall or in tho winter. When the
soil temperature becomes low the
chemical will sot vaporize, hence
winter applications are useless. On
the other Sand, applications made be
fore this date will not kill some of tha
late, hatching larvae. Growers In
Georgia are warned particularly to
apply the material right around Oc
tober 10 to J5.
Use one ounce of pulverized para-
dichorobenzcne to each tree six years
of age or older. No preparation of
the. soil is necessary except to mere-
|v break the soil crust with a hoc,
to make It. smooth, nnd to -amove
any grass or weeds. Do not mound
tho trees. The gas from tho chom
lenl is about five tiinos heavier than
nir, nnd it is thcroforo necessary to
place the material at least at the level
of the topmost borer galleries.
Should gum be found to be exudii
from the tree nbovo the soil leyi
sufficient soli should be ndded. to
bring the soil level up above the bum
ming exudation before applying the
chemical.
The material is applied in n con
tinuous band about one or two inches
wide about the tree. •'Avoid placing
the crystals against the tree or too
far from it. A ring of crystal placed
two Inches from the trunk hns been
found to be most satisfactory. Sev
eral shovelfuls of soil free' from
stones, sticks and trash are then
placed In tho crystals nnd packed with
the back bf the shovel. This pack
ing is important In qrdcr to prevent
surface loss of the gas. The soil may
he placed somewhat cone-shaped
around the tree to prevent, surface
washing of the crystals. Avoid push-
‘ng the crystals against the tree
trunk with the first shovel of soil
when covering.
It is very advisable to remove the
soli that has been placed on the crys
tals from four to six weeks after the
nnplicatinn waa made, and do not re-
nlaco It for several days. This prac-
ti-c is an additional precaution,
which might cause some injury if it
were allowed to remain in the soil
all winter. If the paradichlorozen-
zcnc is npnlicd October 10th, orchard-
irts should sec that the base of the
trees are uncovered by at least No
vember 21; and allowed to remain
open several days before replaeing.
Orchsrdists should make it a point
to see that the material used is pure
parndichlornhenze and in ordering
should specify a grade of tha fine
ness of granulated sugar. Accord
Ing to onr presont knowledge of this
means of borer control successful re
sult* eon be assured only with tho
nbovc chemical. • It may ho obtained

see saints starve and sinners “flcur-
tsh a*,,the green bay tree.” Many
mysterious disappearances, murders
robberies remain unsolved. The
wicked hear rule, the 'innocent arc
violated, the land is desolated, yet
the heavens arc mute. Sin and
wickedness run out the earth and
goodness walks at slow pace. Why
docs the Almighty God allow sin to
c6ntinue?
The character of Jesus demands a
Judgment Day. He is yet misunder-
stood by the world. Rejected and
anathematized by the Jews; despised
by the sinful Gentiles. K*c claimed
to have made the world yet the world
treated Him shamefully. He claim
ed to be able to command an arrpy.
of hngela yet He was beat and spit
upon and insulted to blood, yet ‘re
sented if'net. “Before Him yc» ev
ery knee shall bow and every
tongue confess that He is the Lord of
all.”
The character of Satan demands f
Judgment Day. He is the fallen
archangel, the usurper* of the world
The tempter mankind from the
path of right. The old liar against
God and his laws. The old deceiver
of mankind with the promise of the
earth. He hates God and good and

«..d likeness. On the other hand
goats arc willful nnd rebellious.
They want what they want nnd nrc
going to have it,right or wrong. Thoy
are hard headed. They walk in the
broad road of sinful lusts nnd pleas
ures. TJtcy claim conscience as their
guide, 1. e., their own sweet *dll.
They misjudge tho righteous pnd
say their chances of hcavon arc just
as good as the Saints. But tho Lord
had. Ho will say to the sheep, you
have lived unselfish lives ministoring
to those who had need in tho toorld—
come, inherit your eternal home. To
tho goata He will say depart yc sel
fish with your chosen darkness. O
my brother, whom God has blessed
with riches, do good with It, help oth
ers while you live :do not hold ita sel
fishly, It will damn your soul, and
ou leave It to your children It
destroy them.
Ill: The scene shifts: we are
transported 100 vears or 1,000 years
from today. We arc all dead and
buried . Our bodies have mouldered
to dust. The tumpet of the arch
angel shall wake the dead and wc
nil shall live again and stand beforo
the - great white throne. The books
of the record of each life will be
opened and every one shall receive
according to the deeds done in tho
body. There arc three records kept
of each life, so there can be no mis
take.
The recorilinit anicel In heaven
keeps a faithful record. Ho son the
act and jiMgcs the motive of the
heart.
The sccoml record is kept by the
earth. The dust cried out against
Cain at tho blood of Abel. So the ;
very dust of your foot Vfill record'
the tracks you have made in tho
places of c5il. You jump into your
car and think no one known where
you have been or what you have
done but there is the' record, the
tracks in tho nnd.
The third record is the memory,
recorded in tho gray cells- of tho
brain like so many victrola discs- laid
away and awaiting the tinie of re
view.
