A Pastoral Letter.
To the Membership oe My
Own Church and to Other
Friends:—Dear Brethren : For
the past year my home has
been with you, and pleasant in¬
deed has been the fellowship and
association. My hfe and labors
are known of you all.
Under the direction of our
church, and in the providence of
God, this is my held of work for
another year. That this is so I
am much gratified. A labor of
love is always one of pleasure,
an^ your uniform kindness to
me and mine as well as respect
for my office and ministry have
bound you to me with such
cords that we are one in heart
and interests. Your sorrows are
my grief, and your joys are my
delight. That God’s work may
prosper, among us, let there be
no dissension, but peace, harmo
ny and fellowship between all.
Let us expect no more of others
than we are willing to have re¬
quired of ourselves, and may
law abound.
To my own members I would
say, be loyal and true to your
God and your church. Be sub¬
ject. to its discipline, attend up
o i its ordinances and support
its institutions. Give yourselves
to much prayer, reading of
the Scriptures and meditations
on things eternal.
To my brethren of other names
and orders I would say, may
our common Father grant to
each of you great prosperity, eu
larging your numbers and in¬
creasing your faith. This I say
feeling that we have one com¬
mon Lord, one common cause
and one common home in heav¬
en.
To those who have no saving
knowledge of Christ’s love 1
would say, make haste and de¬
lay not to accept Christ as a per¬
sonal savior. The work is great,
the possibilities immeasurable
and the lime is short. God help
us to make the most of it.
Everybody is invited and al¬
ways welcome to each service of
our church. Yours in Christ,
J. W. Quillian,
pastor Methodist church, Con¬
yers, Ga.

Question 8—A. correspondent 1ms
sent us the following notice with cut,
describing :v very handsomo chorrv and
asking information about it. As we
were not familiar with the cherry, we
sent the’ inquiry to Mr. Berckraans,
president of the Georgia Horticultural
rooioty. His reply is also appended.
Here is the description of the cherry:
A FRUIT BONBON.
A very luscious cherry has been
creating quite a sensation on the
fruit stands this season. This is so
firm, large and plump that it has often
been mistaken for a plum. It has been
well named the boubou cherry.
A popular grower recently said of it:
•‘Undoubtedly this is the most valuable
cherry in cultivation, owing to its enor¬
mous size, rich, dark red color, luscious
quality and freedom from the cherry
worm. It is a sure cropper every year,
and is always of extraordinary flavor.”
Its cooking qu alities do not seem to
have been thoroughly tested, as the va¬
riety is somewhat new as yet to the av¬
erage housewife. It does not seem to
be largely grown here, as it is not found
in quantities in the market this year,
but usually as a dain ty on the
fruit stands demanding a rather high
price. It will probably be more plenti¬
ful in a few years in our eaatorn mar¬
kets, for it is becoming more generally
known that the trees will thrive and
bear abundantly in this part of the
country; aud many interested growers
have planted the trees for experiment
this year.
And here is Mr. Berckmans’ reply:
Hon. R T. Nesbi t, Atlanta, Ga.:
My Dear Sir—D iring the session of
the Georgia State Horticultural society
at Cutlibert, I stated that tho indis¬
criminate publication by tho average
newspaper man of catchy horticultural
articles was frequently detrimental to
horticultural progress. The clipping
which you enclose is only another evi¬
dence of what I stated, which was in
substance that the public would be bet¬
ter served if that class of articles, of
which the onclosed is a sample, were
left alone.
Export pomologists will endorse my
position, because a description of such
a wonderful cherry has a tendency to
add to the confusion of existing fruit
nomenclature. Tho name “Bonbon”
is no doubt a new local fad for a well
known variety. Some smart tree pod
dler will take advantage of this and
palm off large quantities of trees (of
any variety he can purchase) under
this new name, at a stiff price and mis¬
lead and disappoint purchasers.
If the correct name of this cherry
was given we would be able to know
what its value is; but all posted fruit
growers will let the “Bonbon” alone.
Horticultural subjects should be han¬
dled by competent authorities, of which
the horticultural press is the proper
-representative, but which are usually
changed, by the average pcuny-a-liner,
»o to make it interesting reading for
the public.
The cut of the cherry shows it to be¬
long the Duke or Morello type. It
may be the “May Duke,” which is a
popular, early sort, cultivated quitfc
successfully in the eastern aud western
states, aud in the upper soctions of
Georgia, South Carolina and Alabama.
I have seen good crops of this variety
in Atlanta, and grown there by the
late Richard Peters. !
Yours, very truly,
P. J. BeRCKMAS. |
