The neighbors of the late An
drew Erisman, east of Mexico, feel
that in his death the county has
lost most worthy citizen. Mr..
Erisman was progressive; stood
for the highest and best in educa'
ton and was an enthusiastic good
roads advocate. In his home and
private life he was blameless. and
the family feels his loss kcenly.
There is this consolation for the
mOurners-the pain which their
loved one bore is ended, and the
spirit has taken its flight to One
who is above earthly friends. May
the Father enable them to say,
mot my will, o God, but thine
be done"

The State Poultry Board pub
fishes a very interesting article
concerning the State Poultry Show
to be held in Mexico next fall. The
chicken and poultry business is
the biggest business in the State,
and the article points out some of
the benefits the State Show will
bring to Mexico and the chicken
raisers of Audrain county. Mex

that will be one of the results OF
the meeting to be held here next

Giving is Getting.

The old proverb-writer uttered
great truth when he said that there
was a giving that tended to increase
and a Withholding that tended to
ooYerty. Giving and receiving are
lot two different things; the one
means the other. There is, in the
divine economy, great principle OF
exchange by which giving and receiv-
ing are coincident. Especially is this
principle operative in the moral and
spiritual realm.
The most significant thing in life
and development is hospitality. We
open the doors of our heart and life
to ennobling and inspiring visitors.
We give of our capacity; but how
much more do we get. God asks
us to give our hearts. We do so and
how much more we get. Jesus
Christ asks us to give Him a place
in our life. We give it, but the re-
suit is not giving after all so much
as il is getting.
Be hospitable then. Be hospitable
to all the divine influences of life,
and let 1t not be narrow, grudging
hospitality. Be hospitable 10 God
to Jesus Christ. Give Them your
best rooms, Let Them be your guests,
and They will give you Themselves
in return.
Giving is getting. and the greater
the investment the greater the re-
turn.-Rev. c. s. Macfarland. in

An Ancient SCald.
sseososeoe0sessssesoS oS soe'

During the recent visit of the King
a most interesting figure might have
been remarked among the distin-
guished guests there assembled.
This was an old minstrel, or scald,
close upon ninety years of age, with
long, snow-white beard and hair, and
an air of proud dignity in spite of
his rude, coarse clothes. Had he
not a right carry his head high
among the other mobiles, he, de-
soendant of Harold Falrhaired, the
first king of united Norway? That
doughty Harold, who went unkempt
and unshorn until he reached this
high position. in order to fulfil a vow
to his high-born ladylove, Gyda?
Never before had the old scald left
his home in Telemarken, where, true
to the habits of his very long line of
forefathers he lived in cave.
1t was also ancient custom that the
scald should amuse the king and his
court with song and harp, so in an

The scald sang many folk songs

audience listened with the deepest
emotion.
The King of Denmark was so inn

minstrel to visit him as guest in his

which the old man accepted with
quiet dignity. Was he not also the

The Operations of the Spirit.


Perhaps there was never time in
the history of the church when there
was a greater need for a discerning
spirit Much has been written con-
cerning the work of the Holy Spirit,
and yet the mode of His operations
and the variety of His manifestations
are but feebly realized by many To
walk in the Spirit is to have all our
mouthpiece through which He
breathes His prayer and an instru-
ment through which He performs
His work.
The many-sidedness of the Spirits
ministry is an inexhaustible study. A.
b. Simpson. commenting on the neces-
sary feature of the Comforter's work,
says:
"The Holy Spirit when He takes
possession of yielded heart be-
comes pre-eminently the Spirit of
intercession. The newly baptized
soul is often perplexed about its lead
ings and burdens of prayer They
are not always manifested through
joyful experiences. but are often
painful and perplexing burdens. I'm
til we come to understand His voice
we are apt to sometimes think that
we are under the temptation or cloud
of the adversary's presence. The
brain will become oppressed, and the
heart distressed, and we may be
tempted to think that there is some
cloud between us and our Lord
AT such times let us simply roll
over our burden on Him without try
Ing to understand it, and simply pray
for what He means for us to, ask
AS we do so we shall find our heart
drawn out in intense intercession and
rest will come to the burdened soul.
Sometimes particular persons or
things will be suggested to us, and
we shall find great liberty in pleading
for them. After such seasons of
come rested, refreshed and greatly
quickened.
I'VE may not always learn directly
OF the result of our intercession for
others, but we will know God has ac-
cepted our service, and often we shall
find in the course of Hi providence.
that some evil was averted, or some
blessing bestowed through our pray
er, in some other life.
LAS we follow on to know the Lord
we shall find this spirit of interces-
sion mingling with all our spiritual
life and running as an undertone
even in the1midst of the busiest ac-
tivities of our hands and brain. 1t is
possible to pray without ceasing' and
yet be intensely occupied in the prac-
tical duties of life, carrying music in
our hearts, while our busy feet the
holy strain repeat. Living Waters.

A recipe priced by the Creole cooks
of New Orleans and seldom divulged
by them Is for a dish called danube
The materials required are four
pounds best cut of round of beef, one
half can of tomatoes or three small

one small red pepper. three cloves.
three peppercorns. one tablespoonful

cooked and brown the meat to 1t.
Cover the top of meat with tomatoes
and onions. Add the spices, cover
closely and cook slowly on back of
range four hours, turning meat at
end of two hours. Strain the liquor,
thicken with Drowned -four and serve
