Why we Commence Dinner with Soup.

by Sir Henry Thompson.
The rationale of the initial soup has often
been discussed; some regard it as calculated
to diminish digestive power. on the theory
that 50 much fluid taken N first dllutcs the
gastric juices. But there appears to be no
foundation for this belief. A clear soup dis
appears almost Immediately after entering the
stomach ard in 10 way interieres with the gas.
trio juice, which is stored In its appropriate
cells ready for action. The habit Of c0mmenc-
ing dinner with soup has, without doubt, ITS
origin In the fact that aliment IN this fluid
forum tact, ready digcsted-soon enters the
blood, and rapidly refreshens the hungry man,
who, after a considerable fast and much activ
ity, sits down with sense Of exhaustion to
commence his principal meal. In two or
three minutes after he has taken plate Of
good warm soup, the feeling of exhaustion
disappears, and irritshility gives way to the
gradual rising sense Of good fellowship with
the circle. Some persons have the custom OF
allaylng exhaustion with glass OF sherry be-
fore food-a gsstronomic no less than a phys.
biological blunder, injuring the stomach and
depraving the palate. The soup introduces al
once into the system small instalment OF
ready digested food. and saves the short period
of time which must be spent by the stomach
in deriving some nutrlment from solid aliment
as well rs directly Strengthening the organ Of
digestion itself for its forthcoming duties.

Charity Among the Colored People.

Our duty to the poor, but few observe.
Looking over our streets and through our al
lies, all robed III a mantle of snow ard ice,
many close their shutters. draw the curtains
and gather around the cheerful open fire, glad
and grateful that we are not obliged to brave
the stormy night. How pleasant it is in a
warm house these long winter evenings-how
cheerful, how bright. Does not !, shadow
come over the brightness and cloud over our
gayety when we think OF the many poor and
destitute ones, who have no homes and those
who are perishing with hunger and shlyering
with cold Let us not amid our happy enjoy
ments and comfortable homes, forget those
needy and suffering ones. Freely We have
received, freely give" Material gifts-food,
fuel and clothing, these are essentials No
amount Of sympathy, pleasant words kindly
smiles, or advice can take their place. No
matter how high or low, rich or poor, black or
Fundamentally, morally Oh spiritually we all
must have the necessaries OF the lower lite
Let us enter upon review of the winter so
far spent, and see flour hearts and consciences
approve of a good deal done for others than
ourselves. Have we fed the hungry, clothed
the naked, lifted up the fallen rescued the per-
lshing, comforted the sick, spoken kindly to
the distressed and given of our means as God
has prospered us for the support of the poor !;
if so, we have not lived in vain. ia
Thursday night of last week, Jan. 6, 1881,

fist church, with their gifts for the poor, from
five to ten pounds each, until they amounted
to 55Opounds ofgroceries and $13.46 in money.
The committee of the three churches were all
day Friday making distributions to all as they
found in need. Our work is not confined to
the poor of our churches only, but to all
worthy INDECENT persons. One hundred per-
sons were relieved by this charitable act.
