They who provide the food Of the world
decide the health of the world. One of the
! greatest battles of this century was lost
because tho commander that morning had
1 n fit of Indigestion You have only to 60
] on some GRAND amid the taverns and the
( hotels of the United States and Great Brit
ain to appreciate the fact that vast null
/ titude Of tho human race are slaughtered
by incompetent cookery. Though a young
/ woman may have taken lessons in music
and may have taken lessons in painting and
| lessons in astronomy, she is not well edu-
Gated unless she has taken lessons in
I dough They who decide the apparel Of
! the world and the food of the world decide
the endurance Of the world.
An unthinking man may consider it a
matter of little importanee-the cares Of
the household and the economies of domes-
tic life-but tell you the earth is strewn
with the martyrs Of Kitchen and nursery.
The health shattered womanhood of Amer
lea cries out for God who can help ordi-
nary women in the ordinary duties OF
housekeeping The wearing, grinding,
unappreciated work goes on, but the same
Christ who stood on the bank of Galilee in
the early morning and kindled the fire and
had the fish already cleaned and broiling
when the sportsinon stepped ashore, chilled
and hungry, will help every woman to
prepare breakfast, whether by her own
hand or the hand of her hired help.
The Sod who made indestructible eulogy
of Hannah, who made a coat for Samuel,
her son. and carried it to the temple every
year, will help every woman in preparing
the family wardrobe The God who opens
the Bible with the story Of Abraham S en-
tertainment of the three angels on the
plains of Mamre will help every woman to
provide hospitality, however rare and en-
barrassing 1t is high time that some Of
the attention we have been giving to the
remarkable women Of the Bible-remark
able for their virtue or their want Of it, or
remarkable for their deeds, Deborah and
,Jezebel and Herodias and Athaliah and
Dorcas and the Marys excellent or aban-
doned-it is high time some of the atten-
ton we have been giving to these conspic-
uous women of the Bible be given to Julia
of the text, an ordinary woman amid or
binary circumstances, attending to ordi-
nary duties and meeting ordinary respon-
sibilities.
Divine Help Needed.
Then there are all the ordinary business
men. They ned divine and Christian
help When we begin to talk about busi-
ness life, we shoot right off and talk about
men who did business on q large scale, and
who sold millions Of dollars Of goods a
year. but the vast majority Of business
men do not sell million dollars Of goods,
nor half million, nor quarter Of mil
lion, nor the eighth part Of a million. Put
all the business men Of our cities, towns
villages and neighhOrhoods side by side
and you viii find that they sell less than
$50 COO worth Of goods. All these men in
ordinary business life want divine help.
You see how the wrinkles arc printing
on the counienancc the story Of worriment
and care. You cannot toll how old q busl-
ness man Is by looklngat him. Gray hairs
at 80. A man at 40 with the stoop Of a
nonogenarian. No time to attend 70 i'm
