GOING FORWARD.

By Rev. M. d. Club.
Text-"And the Lord said unto Mo-
SEES, wherefore criest thou unto me?
Speak unto the children of Israel, that
they go forward."-Exodus 14:17.
These words bring to our minds the
history of Israel's wonderful deliver
ance from Egyptian bondage. For a
long time they had been subjected 20
the most inhuman treatment. Their
sufferings made them think of their
God, whose service they had neglect
ed. They cried to Him for deliver
ance, and He heard their cry. Aftr
a series of the most astounding mira
cles, the proud and wicked Pharaoh
had given them permission to depart
out of the land. But hardly were they
started on their way before his cruel
heart became hardened, and he deter
mined to pursue and either destroy
them or bring them again under MS
reign of terror and despotism. He
gathered his army and started in hot
pursuit, overtaking them at the Red
Sea. The Israelites were terror-str1ck-
en-. Before them was a watery grave;
behind them a mighty army. Rugged
cliffs were on either side. Escape
seemed impossible. In their extremity
God speaks. He said to Moses: Speak
unto the children of Israel that they
go forward" They obeyed the COM
mand, and God prepared a way
through the rolling pillows by which
they marched to safety and to free
dom.
God says to you and to me: go for
ward" not backward, not to the right
nor to the left, but forward. There Is
danger in standing still. Really, there
is no such thing as a congregation or
a Christian standing still. The very
moment we try to stand still we begin
to go back. To go forward mea life,
enlargement, success. 1t means that
whatever of failure or achievement
has been ours in the past, shall be but
stepping-stones to higher, grander and
nobler attachments in the days to
come.
In going forward we show our faith
in God. God honors faith wherever
He finds it. Once while the Savior
was teaching in Capernaum, the people
were intensely stirred because of the
wonderful things which He did. And
the scribes and Pharisees and wise
men from Jerusalem anne up to this
northern town to see what it all
meant. They didn't come to get a
blessing; they came through curios-
ity. The multitudes thronged the
great Teacher as He taught in the
house. But let us go out and see what
is being done on the outside. Yonder
are four men bearing a burden. What
is it? 1t is a man with the palsy.
They say: IF we can only get to j.
sus, He will heal him." They brought
him to the door, but could not get in
for the crowd. They were not dis
heartened. They had faith; and faith
look over obstacles. Faith will not
surrender. So they carried him to the
top of the house and broke a hole in
the roof and let him down at the feet
of Jesus.

uint. About the House.

Brush pie crust with cream to IN
sure a rich, brown color.
Paint which sticks to glass can be
removed with vinegar.
To cool a hot dish in a hurry place
It in a vessel full Of cold salt water.
Cutting onions, turnips and carrots
across the fiber makes them more ten
der when cooked.
To SINCE chickens hold them over a
saucer of burning alcohol. 1t does not
leave SCOT on the flesh.
Slight stains can be removed from
black cloth by rubbing with a freshly
cut raw potato, wiping it with clean
cloth.
When you make griddle cakes, beat
the g g and milk together with egg
beaten. They will almost melt in your
mouth.
Chicken salad is delicious If mixed
with small pieces of green pepper and
mayonnaise. Press the meat into pep
per cases.
A plateful of grated Parmesan
cheese is served in many households
with macaroni or spaghetti instead OF
cooking the cheese with it.
If you haven't a shoe horn, drop
your handkerchief into your shoe be-
lore inserting the foot, then pull tight
and it will slip or easily.
Medicine stains on silver spoons
may be removed by a rubbing with a
rag dipped in sulphuric acid and then
washing it off with soapsuds.
The most hygienic buster is a damp
fabric that is soft and free from lint.
Cheesecloth and chamois dampened
are both good for different purposes.
Wooden blankets should be placed in
boxes lined with newspapers. Lay
nieces of linen saturated with turpen-
tine in the boxes to prevent an in
vasion of moths.
When the color of a dress has fad
ed. owing to stains from lemon or
other acid fruit juice, a good idea is
to touch the spot with liquid am
monia, which usually will restore the
color.
Vaseline will leave a stain that is
hard to get out. Wash goods stained
by vaseline first in warm water and
soap, then a few drops of chlorinateG
soda rubbed on the spots will cause
them to disappear.
To kill lice on any feathery plant,
such as small ivy and the like, MAKE
o paper cone to cover the plant and
burn a small quantity of sulphur un-
der the cone. A pinch of sulphur will
usually kill all lice.

DoN'Ts FOR CHURCHMEN.

Don't expect to be cured of p~retense
by hunting shams.
Don't forget that rustling is the
poorest way of resting.
Don't hide your talent in a napkin
lest you find it evaporated.
Don't expect grace of sympathy to
come from nursing your griefs.
Don't try to pass your religion on
by finging it's phrases at another.
Don't be overkeen to believe in scan
dial lest you indorse its purveyors.
Don't forget the stomachs of the
poor while fighting over their souls.
Don't forget that the virtue that
runs into vocabulary soon becomes
vice.
Don't be disappointed if heaven
sends o opportunity when you pay
for promotion.
Don't forget that overanxiety for
creased palms makes the feet mighty
slippery.
Don't fail to observe that wealth in
living is a matter of discovering your
w resources.
Don't forget that no man is so blind
to his own happiness as he who will
not see another's sorrow.
Don't forget that no opinion can
help you to heaven if it makes you
hate your brother man.
Don't credit to your charity that
which ought to be charged to your
being too lazy to investigate the facts

STANDARD OF CHRISTIAN FAITH.

By Bishop O.. M. Matthews, ~. u.
Text-"It cannot be gotten for gold,
neither shall silver be weighed for the
price thereof."-Job xxviii:15.
The one great truth to which Job
would draw our attention is their con-
trasted value of true wisdom. or the
redemption system OF God in Jesus
Christ. Precious metals and costly
ores, though hidden, may be found by
means of human ingenuity and dill
gence. But where car true wisdom
and true riches De found? Nowhere
except in the living God. Go to the
miner and learn a lesson. Study his
ways and be wise. Seek not only for
the wealth that perisheth, but labor
for the true riches and wisdom. l ac-
cept the statement Of an editorial, that
no church or minister can draw $500
people to the fair ground on a rainy
day. But is not that sufficient reason
why we should give ourselves more
and more to the consideration of spir-
itual values and to those higher inter
ests which pertain to Gods moral
king? Now, In speaking of the spir-
itual values of Gods government, L
remark that it has a currency which
stands at par the world over. The
truth of God as revealed in Christ and
recorded in the Scriptures is current
coin in all the nations and communi-
ties of this earth. The Bible as a great
system of truth is the one Book for
the nations.
These are unusual times-times
when clean, steady, heroic Christianity
Is put to the test. The great vital
question is, shall we do righteously
according to the teachings of Gods
word and the behests of our king?
Shall we as individuals and commune
ties and. nations be controlled by the
divine law which demands personal
righteousness, public honesty and ma
tional integrity? Shall we not hold
up a Christianity that insists upon
the redemption of it's pledges and the
discharge of every moral obligation on
the earth? Shall this not only be a
campaign of contention for the SUI
premacy of gold and silver and the
wealth that perisheth, but also a cam
paign for the supremacy of the truth
and for the education of the public
conscience in the beginning of a re-
vival Of religion that shall be the
strength of manhood, the glory of
womanhood, in the inspiration of the
masses and the true prosperity of the
nation? For true wisdom Is the fear
of God and doing righteousness. 1t is
that goodness which is great, having
the promise of the life that now is
! and of that which is to come"

A Clerical Definition.

Archbishop John J. Glennon was
called to Kansas City, his former home,
to attend a conference of church dig
nitaries. Among the churchmen pres
ent was one very 'stout" bishop from
Kansas. His front" was the notable
feature of his physical makeup. He
lbore a striking resemblance to figures
THE cartoonists draw to represent the
lgreedy trusts. Like some Kansas peo-
Iple, he was inclined to be just a trife
f'breezy."

teau near Paris as a summer residence.
Mrs. Van Valkenburg, whose romantic
marriage to a well known clubman fol-
lowed closely on the announcement of
her engagement to Gen. S~piridovitch,
frankly admits that the unkind criticism
Of her country women makes America

Moses Not Yet.

Rev. Henry Van Dyke of Princeton is
quoted as telling this story at a recent
Presbyterian gathering:
"A Connecticut pastor of a denomina-
ton well known to us was questioning
a boy pupil of the Sunday school. The
lad answered greatly to the satisfaction
of the good man, but finally the latter
was stumped when the %youngster made
his last reply.
"NVhat commandment, my son, did
Adam break when he ate the apple?'
asked the pastor.
"'Please, SIR returned the boy, there
were no commandments at that time.'"-
Judge.

Not n Sin.

To Pere Monsabre, the distinguished
French preacher, there came one Sab
bath, after mass, a lady who insisted
that she must see him on an affair
of great Importance. 1t was a mat
ter of conscience, and she explained
that she was most seriously disturbed.
In fact, she was sadly given to vanity.
That very morning, she confessed, she
had looked in the glass and had yield
ed to the temptation of thinking her
self pretty.
Pere Monsabre looked at her. as
that all, my daughter?"
THAT is ALL"
Then go in peace, for to make a
mistake is not a sin."-Lippincott's.

Southern OId-styIe Biscuit.

The old way was to beat the bircuit
dough with an ak, and to give 1t 3OO
blows by actual count. The well-bas
tinadoed substance was then made into
small round cakes with the hands,
cutter is an insult to true beaten bis
cuit-each about half an inch thick.
The top of each one is then pricked
three times with a fork, and they are
then baked in a moderate oven for
from 20 TO 80 minutes. After you have
once eaten them you are hardly sur
prised at their favor with the natives.

"A novel sort of crime was discovered
by the Tien-Tsin police when a portly
native was arrested and asked to explain
his ~embonpoint. He had a thieves bag
around his waist, filed with lead cats

very fine specimen of the tortoise shell,
was still quite warm. In a smaller bag
was found the lure; it consisted of bits of
dried fish treated with some deadly poi
