Christian Endeavor has reached
even to Norway.
New Jersey has three Christian En-
deavor papers in the state.

suggested by the Golden Rule {:

The report of the State Secretary of
the Iowa Union shows 1873 societies
organized during the year, LOO
brought into the church and $7,4OO
given to missions.
The Endeavor society of the First
Baptist church, Chicago, whose pastor

it has contributed to the Home and
Foreign Missions of its denomination

President NJ. E, Gates says that,
Since the work of the Christian En-
deavor society has made a place for
itself in So many Of our churches, a
steadily increasing proportion of the
Young men who enter the Freshman
classes of our colleges come to college
confessing Christians, holding an in
teIIigent faith in Christ, and accns-
toned to think, act and speak with
others as legal servents and pledged
followers of Jesus Christ" Can we
ask tor any stronger evidence of the
worth Of the Christian EndeavOr So
ciety?

this county and the founder of
Cleburne, Texas, is dead at his

known and highly esteemed by
many of our older citizens, and the
fact that his town paper devotes a

what esteem he was held there.

WHOLE WHEAT BREAD.
a Recipe That Has Been Tried and
Found Good.

Found Coed.
A tested recipe for whole wheat
bread which we are glad to note is be-
coming a part of the diet of every we'll
nourished family, consists of one pint
of boiling water poured into a pint of
milk. Cool the liquid and when luke
warm add one cake of compr essed yeast
dissolved in half cupful of warm
water. Add a teaspoonful of salt and
enough whole wheat to make to batter
that will drop easily from a spoon.
Beat thoroughly five minutes, cover,
and stand in place that is moderately
warm for three hours. Enough whole
wheat to make dough should then be
added gradually. When stiff, knead on
your board until the mass is soft and
elastic. but not sticky. Make the dough
into 1oaves put in creased bread-pans,
and after covering stand aside one
hour. The time for baking will depend
on the size of the loaves. If long
French loaves, bake thirty minutes in
a quick oven. If large square loaves.
bake one hour at 3. moderate heat.
When crusty bread IS liked the dough
may be made in sticks and baked in
pans made for that special purpose.
Another tested recipe That requires less
handling and that rs used by Miss
johnson is made in +he following way:
Scald one cupful of milk, add a tea
spoonful of butter, the same quantity
of salt, tablespoonful of sugar, and
one cupful of water. When lukewarm
add one-half a yeas< cake and enough
wheat flour to make a. thin batter.
This should be done in the morning, as
the bread rises quickly After making
smooth batter let it rise until very
light Add whole wheat gradually and
beating continuously until as much has
been added as you can stir convent
emily. If the flour /. not added gradu-
ally and well mixed the bread will be
coarse-grained. Tura into creased tins.
and when light bake one hour on
moderate oven.
