eIorIfyins God In Our Recreations.

Psa 16. 5-11, / Cor. 10. 81
This psalm is a beautiful psalm of
trust and confidence in God, express
ing the delights and pleasure of re-
ligion. The Zines had fallen In pleas
ant places" the place in which he
lived was "a godly heritage" His
heart was glad" his glory ire
joiced." In Gods presence was "ful-
ness Of Joy" and pleasures for ever
more" Even to the Old Testament
saint there was nothing gloomy or
sad about religion. He found Joy and
gladness In the service OF God. His
recreation was in new and diversi-
fed service for Jehovah. ine verse
from Corinthians is summary of
duties from the preceding verses
which ought to be read in connection
with this one, q principle which will
guide rightly our pleasures and rec
reations; to make eating, drinking,
playing, and vacation all glorify God
and honor our piety. Tested by this
standard we can easily determine
what is right or wrong In our amuse-
ments.
Nothing is more abused than the
creation. To call sports that kill, and
amusements that degrade and alien
ate from Christ, recreation, is a
misnomer and a lie, Nothing Is
recreation" that does not rest and
re-create and quicken body and mind.
Those things which deflle and fag
mind and body are injurious and not
recreative. Vacation should be help
full and bring one back to better work.
Only that kind can glorify God. Va
cation is not a release from Christian
responsibility. Play, fun, and frolic
are designated to help and not hind
er. These things may be made to
glorify God as well as praying and
singing hymns. There is nothing in
real recreation but what will be hon
orable and helpful TO the saint. What
are the conditions of glorifying God
In our recreations?
That They Be Clean. There are
taints upon some sports which render
them dangerous and questionable.
There are others which give life to
the body and rest to the mind. John
Wesley's mother wrote him when in
school: Would you judge the lawful
ness or unlawfulness of any pleasure?
Whatever weakens your reason, i'm
pairs the tenderness of your consci-
ence, obscures your sense OF God, or
takes away your relish OF spiritual
things, is sin to you, however inno-
cent It may be to Others" Select
those recreations that are clean and
pure II you would glorify God.

There is life in the dry grain of corn
as certainly as in the growing stalk.
But in the former we see no life, not
even the evidence of 1t. We may put
It under the microscope, but we dis
cover no life. We may shave 1t down.
fake by flake, but we cannot see 1t
nor tell where 1t has gone. But the
life is there Notwithstanding our fail
ure. Only by adversely can it be made
to reveal itself; and it's highest mani
festation can come only through death
and dissolution. Heat and moisture
will call forth the latent life. but not
until that yellow tabernacle Is placed
in the earth does the matured possibil.
ity of the seed manifest iself.
Have we not here a parable? Man
has soul, but who has seen 1t, or felt
1t, or touched 1t? Can we. by any
known process. lay that soul bare that
we may look upon 1t with our mortal
eyes? VIII our most powerful micro.
scopes magnify 1t? Will our X-ray dis.
close it? You may take this body
down, part by part. You may dissever
every member from its fellow. You
may uncover every llgament and nerve
and artery. Can the scalpel uncover
the soul? Has the operator ever seen
1t as he laid open the body? Has the
young physician in the dissecting
rooms ever found it? But the soul is
in the body as truly as life Is in the
grain of corn. Both are invisible by
any known device of man.
We may see the evidence of growth
in the soul as we may see it in the seed
In both cases the life Is revealed
mainly by sacrifice and surrender In
both the fullest glory comes after
death, and neither the seed on the one
hand nor the body on the other ever
beholds the highest development of its
own inherent life. That lies beyond
the dissolution. And will not our post.
mortem life be as much greater and
grander than this life as the maturing
stalk with its green leaves, its pink
plumes on the end of the ripening
ears, and its bending tassels is greater
and grander than the little yellow cres
cent of corn which was dropped into
the earth?

God manifestly has double purpose
in view in bestowing blessings upon
an individual, namely, the good or the
individual and the larger and wider
benefits that others may receive
through the individual. To Abraham
He said, blessing 1 will bless thee,
and multiplying 1 will multiply thee"
1t is an experimental fact that men
are enriched in the best things by i'm
parting them to others. SO it is that
graces are enriched by leading others
into gracious ways of living. So it is
that character is improved by the work
of character building in others, and
truth more securely and deeply rooted
in us by teaching 1t to others. To shut
up ones gifts and hide ones light is to
impoverish and darken ones own soul.

! much Tor them to consent to accept the
Gospel of Bethlehem and Calvary. the
Holy Sepulchre and the Mount of Oh
ives. OF course they deny our plat
form--they say that. Jesus was not
the Son of God. To us who believe in
the Lords divinity there is this sure
refuge, this safe hiding place from the
storms. When doubts arise, although
we should do our best to dispose of
them, we should remember every mo-
ment In the face of mysteries and
contradictions and of alleged offenses
against the intellect that the Founder
of Christianity could have made no
mistake because He was the Son OF
God.
Christianity Is divine because of the
divinity of the Founder, and 1t is be-
cause Of this divinity that Christianity
has endured thus long and all changes
and connections and progress shall
survive until the end of time. One of
the many tokens of its heavenly char
acter Is that it has confronted all the
powers of darkness and has carried
the day in every struggle and on every
field. From the outset an effort has
been made to Danish IL from the face

appeared that "the glorious Gospel of
the Blessed Cod might possibly be
obliterated; but somehow after each
battle the banners of the cross have

Does any one inquire respecting the
outcome? does any one cry out
"Watchman. what of the night?" The
answer is, Victory, better Christen-
dom, nobler Church. purer religion.
Let. the winds blow and the waves
roar; let the powers of evil and error
do their worst; let the advance and
achievements Of the future surpass a
thousandfold the knowledge and con-
quests of the past. Christianity will
abide with ever increasing glory. for
1t Is founded on rock, and that rock

A RECIPES ~

Baked Mushrooms-A half pound OF
large mushrooms will be needed, with
a half teaspoonful Of minced parsley,
an ounce of bread crumbs, three ta-
blespoonfuls of salad oil, salt, pepper
and a little lemon juice. Put half
oil in the baking dish and sprinkle
with half the bread crumbs, half the
parsley and squeeze of lemon. Lay
half the mushrooms on this and put
on the rest of the oil, bread crumbs,
seasoning and parsley. Bake half an
hour, and just before serving dust
with cayenne pepper.
Almond Layer Cake-An almond fill-
ing for layer cake is a favorite in the
Boston Cooking School. A quarter of
a pound of almond paste is beaten
with the yolk of an egg until smooth,
then add, one after another, the yolks
OF four more eggs, beating thoroughly
each time an egg yolk goes into the
mixture. Two tablespoonfuls of but
ter, two ounces of blanched almonds
chopped fine, half cupful of sugar,
and half cupful of hot milk. Cook
in a double boiler until, stirring con-
stantly, the mixture thickens. Flavor,
when cold, with vanilla. Use this be.
tween the cake layers and ice the en-
tire cake, trimming it with blanched
almonds.
Hungarian Salad-What TO Eat rec
ommends this Hungarian salad: Cut
two Spanish onions in slices. putting
them in large bowl and pouring boil
ing water over them, letting the onions
remain In the water for just one min
ute. Drain and plunge into fee water,
letting them remain for several hours.
Prepare four long green cucumbers by
pairing and sllcing and letting them
remain In ice water for the same length
of time. Drain the onions and cucum-
bers and place them in a bowl, pour
ing over them a French dressing. This
quantity seems rather large. A Span
ish onion sliced fills great, deal OF
space. One onion to four cucumbers
ought TO be about right.
Chops en- Casserole-Crops In the cas-.
serole are very good. One way OF cook
ing them is to remove all the fat and
season with salt and pepper. In the
casserole put layer Of sliced tomatoes.
or, In winter, some well-drained canned
tomatoes. Season the tomatoes with
salt, pepper, little chopped onion,
and ever so little sugar. Lay several
chops on the tomatoes. and add few
mushrooms ana some diced raw pota-
toes. Add more tomatoes. then more
chop, and have tomatoes for the top
layer Moisten with O cupful Of stock.
preferably chicken stock, and cook
slowly for two hours. A little Kitchen
bouquet Is an addition. I

new devotion to temperance endeavOr.
He proposes the regular maintenance
of monthly temperance meetings, adj

calculated to attract the interest of the

Bible Hints.
1t is precisely as necessary to
play ito the glory of God" as to work
Tor His glory (1Cor. 10:3D.
1t Is not favored few whose lines
are fallen in pleasant places, but all
Christians can say that, in whatever
place they may be Ups. 16:6)
The secret of a glad heart FPS. 16:
81 Is a present God Cps. 16:S). There
is no other secret.
In Gods presence Is fulness OF
joy. Absolutely no true pleasure is
omitted from the Christian life (Ps.
16:11.)
Suggestions.
God is the Creator; of course he
takes an interest In our re-creations.
1t Is not a recreation unless it re-
creates us-restores our energy, our
health of Nody and of mind.
The test OF any sport, and suffic-
lent test, is this: can / readily think
of Jesus as engaging in 1t with me?
IL our sports are to re-create us,
we must plan them as carefully and
as prayerfully as our work.
Illustrations.
AS the best rest of one set of
muscles is often to use another set
of muscles, so often the best rest
from one kind of work is to turn to
another and very different kind.
Are our recreations the high lights
in our life pictures? There is moth
ing that the painter SO carefully
studies as the high lights.
We can learn many lessons from
what we may reverently call Gods
recreations in nature-the colors of
flowers, the songs of birds, the
splendors of sunsets.
Hearty laughter at ones meals will
do more to ward off dyspepsia than
all the doctors pills; it is as good
specific against spiritual dyspepsia.
Am taking my recreations at hap
hazard?
Am 1 selfish in my sports, or do 1
play for Gods glory?
What is the unconscious aim of my
sports?

It Is the right of every man to form
his own conception of life. and in
faith or religion every man has the
right of secession. With what right
is the insistence that man shall not
depart from the views of his father

before he came upon the earth? Ju-

Not Peculiar to RELIGION.

No truth is peculiar to religion. You
can translate every virtue of piety
into other terms and find them just as
indispensable in education or art 'or

Art for arts sake" is true phrase;
for art nor piety nor honesty nor any
kind of work or virtue ministers to life
except it be loved and followed for
its own sake.
When a man delivers his own soul
he has delivered the universe.

with the same old heart and eyes,
