filled. BY the time the service opened.
about eight or ~ little after. people were
being turned from the doors in large


numbers.
The annual sermon to the conference
was preached by the Rev. 8. c.. Hatcher,
young minister from Market-Street
Church, Petersburg. The discourse was
one Of distinguished merit, and at its
conclusion there were many who DIVIDED
around the accomplished young man to
offer him their congratulations. Mr..
Hatcher's subject was taken from a text
In Habakkuk: II will set me on my watch
tower" His treatment OF the theme was
musterly and eloquent. and made a strong
impression upon the large congregation.
Tho thought running through the ser
mon was as that the minister OF Christ
should be imbued with the spirit of his
Lord, and that IN order to receive this
spirit, to see the visions Of the heavenly
Kingdom when they are unfolded to b m,
he should place himself upon the watch
tower Of his soul and be ready to receive
the grace Of God when He bestows It.
Unless he Is in the proper attitude he
will receive no grace, sec no visions, and
his ministry will be a failure. Marconi
has demonstrated his power to send mes
sases to distant ships, but he declines to
send such a message unless he feels sure
that on the ship there are the proper In
strunents properly adjusted and the
proper men in the proper attitude to re-
ceive it
III discussing the character of the min
lister Mr. Hatcher said he should be a
man among men, There is a tendency In
the present age to lower the sacred call
ing by the assertion that the minister is
after all only a man. For this the min
istry is itself partly responsible. But the
preacher should be a man among men
and more than that He should be a
man called of God as a messenger OF
heaven, entrusted with mission and inn
bLed with the power to perform it He
should always and ever seek the guidance
of his divine master, and herein is where
he should retire to his watch tower for
a communion with his God. Nowadays
the minister has but little time that may
be spent in his study: as soon as he re-
tires his people cla1nor for his return to
work on the outside. But 1t should not
be. It is in the study. with no one there
but God and himself, that the minister
receives from above that grace and
strength which enables him to perform
hts work as Christ would have it done.
Reference was also made by Mr.. Hatch
or to the periods of doubt through which
every minister passes at one time or
another in his career. Those are the
times of distress. when tragedy is writ
ten across the brow Of many. Several
years ago one OF the most promising
young men who contemplated entering
the Virginia Conference reached this
Doubling Castle and gave UP in despair.
Dr. J. NJ. Davis. of Westboro, Dinwid-
die county. is among the lay delegates
at the conference.

THE COOKBOOK

If the pastry be slow in browning,
throw a little sugar Oh the oven shelf.
This will expedite matters greatly.
If the skin of a beet root has got bro
ken, scar the part with a redhot iron
before cooking it. This will prevent
the beet from bleeding.
The next time tomato soup IS plan
ned for the family dinner try adding
a few slices of orange just before serV-
ing and enjoy the pleasant flavor which
they impart.
Eggplant is most palatable when
broiled. Cut into thick slices, with the
skin on; dip in olive oil seasoned with
salt and pepper and cook on wire broll-
er over clear fire five or ten minutes.
When cake contains too much flour
or has baked too fast, it will sink from
the edges or rise up sharply, with a
crack in the middle. II cake has a
coarse grain, il was not beaten enough
or the oven was too slow.
If YOU like cocoanut pyramids, beat
the whites of two eggs till light and

cocoanut, one cupful of powdered sug-
ar and two tablespoonfuls Of flour;

silly notion that one kind of food is

and still another for bones. A cor

sustain every other part. Yet, how
ever good your food may be, its nut

dyspepsia. You must prepare for
