NO Sin IN WEALTH
Rev. John Van Schaick EX-
plains Christ's Teaching.
DID NOT DENOUNCE RICHES
To BE Destroyed Only when Ii stood
in Way of Higher Life, Otherwise
God; Human soul Everything.
Spirit of Christ's Uttcrances.

THE attitude of Jesus toward the rich
was the subject of an interesting sermon
by Rev. John Van Schaick. jr., pastor
OF the Church Of Our Father. Universal
ist, at the morning service YESTERDAY
Dr Van Schaick declared that il made
but little difference what mans posi-
tion was as regarded wealth. He said
that before God there are no rich and
no poor.
DIR. Van Schaick's Exposition.
DIT Van Schaick said in part:
In our day we hear much about the
dangers of wealth. From the pulpit and
i'm the press. in the Senate and on the
stump men are discussing the problem
one attacks the wealthy as a public
menace, Another defends the wealthy
as a public necessity.
But both the enemies of wealth and
the apologists for wealth quote often from
the Bible, and especially the Gospels. IN
defense of their views one says, Woe
unto YOU that are rich The other says.
Well done, good and faithful servant
Spirit Of Christ's Utterances.
IN the noise and tumult we should
be in doubt if we had not one principle
to guide us. II is not from one utterauce.
but from the spirit of all the Utterances
that we can understand the position
which Jesus took.
1T is not true that He taught that the
only consistent Christian is poor Chris
tian. He taught that both poverty and
riches are OF the soul
1T was not against wealth as wealth
that He took stand. Il was against
wealth as the enemy OF the higher life.
He did not come % euIogize poverty,
TO denounce wealth, 10 set the masses
against the classes and the classes against
the masses. He came 90 pat man into
conscious relationship with God.
Human Soul Only Matters.
"One hour he talked TO Nicodemus. a
ruler Of the Jews. Another hour TO It
poor woman at the well With Him
classes We're nothing The human soul
was everything
"If wealth stood I'm the way of a bet
ter life, wealth was 10 be destroyed.
Otherwise, it was a trust
"We praise Robert Burns when he sayG
An honest man. though e'er SO poor. is
king of men for a that But the Master
looked deeper. He would also say to-day.

Cr0esus. a mans a man for a that
'The sin Of the poor man is his envy.
The sin Of the rich man is his pride
From both envy and pride, the Master
calls us to be free.
THE highest word of Christianity is
brotherhood Before God there are no
rich and no poor. There are the good and
the bad"

Over the Alps by Water.
MICHIGAN.

That most wonderfully useful OF all
seems to have been discovered, as
such, only in very modern times, and
which is now accomplishing marvels
undreamed Of a decade or two ago, has
just been set a new task In little
Switzerland, at which the scientific
world is again opening its eyes In
establishment. So writes H. G. Hunt
ing in the Technical World Magazine.
A tube-or rather two tubes-full OF
water, are to be made to lift and lower
boats, burdened with an international
commerce, over the most formidable
mountain range of Europe, the Alps.
Actually the liquid element Is to pick
up the loaded craft in Italy and to
deposit them in Germany by its own
natural power without the use OF
propelling machinery. Balancing the
waters of the mountain lakes against
each ether, Italian engineers propose
to create a new road for commerce,
which will become almost literally an
artery Of world traffic, with an ebb
and flow that will draw and push the
currents Of trade back and forth, like
the beat Of a great heart feeding the
veins of two nations. 1t is a most re-
markable enterprise, and the method
by which the feat of taking boats over
the mountains is to be accomplished is
an extraordinary invention.

DOING AWAY WITH GREASE.
Care in Cooking Will at Least Reduce
II to Minimum.

The objection of many housekeepers
to fried things is often a question of
not really knowing how to fry. Prop
erly done there should be little or no
grease on the cooked article, and alb
solutely no taste of the fat.
For slow frying, such as outlets or
potatoes, butter is preferable to lard.
IL the pan be put on the back of the
stove there is less danger of burning.
This is particularly necessary in doing
raw potatoes in plain fry; French
fried ones are cooked in deep lard or
other medium, at boiling point.
For deep frying kettle at least
eight or ten inches deep is essential to
prevent splashing over of the grease
wire frying basket that fits into it
closely should also be used; with it
there is greater ease and less danger
of bad burns
Whatever the frying nhedium-lard,
| olive oil, or any of the commercial pro-
ductions-it is important to have the
proper temperature. This must be be-
yond boiling point, and should reach
$50 degrees. Lower than that the food
will BE unbearably greasy. Over 400
degrees the fat is apt to burn.
The surest test Of temperature is
made by thermometer, but If that is
not convenient the fat will be found to
be right If small piece of bread
dropped into it turns instantly gold
en- brown.

Deep, boiling fat; not too much in
the frying basket at once; immediate
draining on brown paper.

Strange to say, women bear the re-
verse of fortune far better than men.
A woman performs little acts of self
denial as matter of course; she
gives up her personal Injuries, and
sometimes even necessaries, without
comment or complaint; therefore, her
deeds of unselfishness often escape no.

He may relinquish some big thing

which marks women at such a time

poverty be so severe as to take from

Teaching journalism.

Yale is not to have the field Of
practical teaching Of journalism to
herself. The University of Missouri
also has plan perfected and in
structors appointed for four years
course, journalism to be on an equal
footing with the departments OF law,
of engineering and the other profess
.sions. Col. Harvey's idea of daily
newspaper as training field will be
followed, an experienced Missourian
editor having been called to the po-
sition of dean and editor of the col.
lege paper. The four years aca-
demic course will include lectures
upon history, economics, sociology,
public law, ETC., as we'll as upon the
technical details of newspaper work.
This is the practical plan, remarks the
Boston Herald, and it should sue
coed. Naturally, graduates will still
have something to learn in the vicis-
STUDIES of actual newspaper life, some
thing which they could never learn in
the made-to-order environment of the
college newspaper Office. But the uni
versity is only a training school for
any profession. There is no reason
why it should not successfully perform
that service for the newspaper profess
sion.

WHEN LAMB is THE JOINT.
Forequarter Should Always Be Given
the Preference.

The forequarter of lamb is much
sweeter than the hindquarter. For a
number of persons the whole quarter
should be purchased, which will give
nine chops. The marketman will re-
move the shoulder bone. which should
be cracked and sent home with the
meat to be used for broths with the
scraps left from serving.
Wipe off the meat with a damp
cloth, place in pan, inside of meat
downward, dust with pepper, add one
half pint Of water, and place in a
quick oven until crusted over, then
dust with salt and haste every ten
minutes with the drippings.
Reduce the heat after it is nicely
Drowned, and continue to cook until a
knife run into the shoulder will not
show traces of red juice. For a din
ner when the tastes of the guests are
not known, it is better to have the
lamb well done rather than rare. This
meat must be watched that the chops
do not scorch before the shoulder is
done.
Remove meat to a hot platter and
place where it will keep hot. Run off
the fat and dust the bottom of the
pan with flour; set over the fire to
brown delicately; then pour in one
pint of the strained soup stock and
stir until creamy, adding more -four
rubbed smooth with butter If needed !;
then add salt and pepper If needed,
and one tablespoonful finely chopped
parsley.
