THE STORY.

IT IS marvellous how quickly nature
RECEIVERS from the dry, scorching
period of the drought when the re-
freshing rain comes. We have all
seen grass and leaf and flower brown
and withered and dry and have judged
that 1t was past reviving, when behold
the rain has kissed its withered sur
face, washing away the choking dust,
and the refreshing water has trickled
down to the rootlets and given them
drink so that they could pour new
life and beauty into the plant above,
and we see the face Of nature trans
formed and beaming forth with new
life and beauty.
SO 1t was in the land Of Samaria.
The drought Of the three years had
been ended by that wonderful down.
pour of rain and where before there
was nothing but dry, brown grass and
curled, withered leaves the sun rose
upon scene Of reviving green.
Throughout the land there rested a
subdued consciousness that It was the
God Of Israel who had wrought this
change. II the tragic events on Mount
Carmel had made the people trem-
BILE and fear before the majesty and
power of God, the blessing of the rain
had revived their faltering and way
ward spirits and brought q new con-
sciousness Of God.
Even Jezebel. who heretofore hath
murdered the servants of the Lord,
must know that the God of Israel is
the one God and that Baal Is no god
at ALL" exclaimed the prophet Elijah
a. he walked forth the morning after
his coming to Jezreel. How glad he
felt that his long period of exile was
over. How good to see the smiling
face of nature a. she struggled back
to her verdant green.
God hath wrought nightly. Now
will the people listen to the voice Of
Co.'s servant and be led from the wor-
ship Of Baal to the worship Of the
true God. The land hath been purged
with the blood of the false prophets
and surely now the people will throw
down the high places and affairs erect

return to the Worship Of God. am

Cuban "oyalda."

Visitors to New Orleans never fail
to retain the most pleasant recollec-
tions of the hours spent at the old
French market. and among these mem
ories few are recalled with more genu-
inc delight than those which bring
back the scene of some quaint old cof-

accompaniment, plate heaped high
with that greatest of all attractions,
fried bread. says the New York
Times.
It is rather strange, in view of the
fact that fried bread is eaten with
such gusto in New Orleans, that 1t
does not appear more frequently upon
the breakfast tables In the north. Com
paratively easy to make and a most
delectable change from the ordinary
round of rolls, toast and biscuits, 1t
would appear as though the energetic
housewife who Is always on the look

acter should be only too glad to take
advantage Of this opportunity to break
the monotony Of her morning menu.
And II you don't believe that 1t Is
good-this fried bread Of the French
market coffee stalls-just try 1t some
morning when you have mixed bread
and still some dough on hand. That
is to say, instead Of molding this
dough into the form Of biscuits, to be
baked In the oven, shape 1t into oblong
pieces about the shape Of the regula-
tion French roll and then drop them
into deep fat, to fry to that attractive
brown tint that is recognized as the
proper hue for doughnuts. Served with
coffee and plenty of fragrant butter.

Of the most morose Of pessimists until

Still another delectable breakfast
bread Is the "oyalda," or fried bread,
that Is SO invariable part of every
mornings repast in Cuba. To make
this bread mix two cupfuls of flour
with the wellbeaten yolks of two eggs
and generous tablespoonful Of lard.
Salt the mixture little and stir the
ingredients together thoroughly. When
well mixed, add enough water to make
dough, but keep working it over and
over until it shows by its texture that
1t Is extremely light. When this re-
suit has been secured. roll the dough
very thin, and, having cut 1t into small
cakes, either round, square or oblong
in shape, fry them in deep fat. Serve
them as hot as possible. sprinkling
them, II desired, with powdered sugar.

Elijah 10 not the only servant
Of God who has gone from oIorI-
Gus victory on tho mountain top
down into the valley Of dIseour-
agement and doubt.
Here we find exemplIfied
that which 10 moro than apt to
be characteristic Of every Chris
tlan-the extremes Of expert
ence. The exaItatIon Of the
mountain top with lts victories
through faith, and the dIscour-
aoement Of the valley with Its
ignorinlous flight.
There 10 great contrast be-
tween the heroic figure Of the
prophet feariessiy facing the
$50 prophets Of BaaI, and the
fear-strieken prophet fleeing
from the angry threat Of wick
ed woman. And yet the only
difference was that In the one
case faith linked him with God,
and In the other doubt shut out
the vision Of God and made him
forget his power.
Faith as II finds place In the
life makes all the difference In
the world az to the manner Of
expression Of that life. Faith
10 needed In the times Of great
service and testing when the
eyes Of the people are upon US,
and Il 10 needed In tho quiet
moments when we have not the
stimulus Of active service to
buoy us up.
The really weak moments Of
the servant Of God nearly always
come In the time Of reaction,
after the successful service has
been rendered and nerves and
heart and brain no longer feel
the high tension.
II is In such moments Of weak
ness that evil comes to put us
to flight and makes US forget
that the God who sustained on
the mountain top Of service ls
able to guard and keep during
the seasons Of rest and retire
ment.
What encouragement there is
In this story Of Elijah for the
Christian who fails. How pa
tIently and lovingly God dealt
with him, and how loving and
patient God is with his falling
children. Like az a father pitt.
eth his children 90 the Lord plti-
eth them that fear him. For he
knoweth our frame; he remem-
bereth that we are dust"
"The flesh 10 weak" az God
knows. We fail az did Elijah
even while our hearts desire bet.
ter things. But In such mo-
ments God does not cast us of.
Nay, rather, he sends minister
Ing angels to succor us and to
lead us to the mountain Of his
presence where with the still
small voice he may speak to our
souls and erstore W to his fel.
