Bible as Solvent Of Unique and Subtle

Toronto Ont, Oct. f0-Unanimous-
ly processing faith in the efficacy of the
Bible az a solvent OF the unique and
subtle problems of modern life, despite
the differences OF scriptural interpreta-
lions resultant from various kinds of
higher criticism and multiple types
of critics, the eeumenical Methodist
conference today began the second
week OF It's discussions.
The churches and modern llfe" was
the assigned topic. 1t was treated I'M

sion: "A daptation oil tho church to the
needs of the modern life" by Rev, s.

of the Methodist church OF Australia
presided.
Satisfaction was generally express
ed blythe delegates that although the
so-calied provocative term" higher
criticism. had figured consplcuously in
10 hours of addresses and sharp dis
cussion yesterday. apparently no bit
terness had resulted. but that healthy
stimulation of interest had developed
in the differing points of view. Al
though speakers holding rs essential
the literal Interpretation of the Bible
were distinctly in the minority, they
impressed upon the. conference the
dangers of too much dissection on the
parts of those who believe in that
method of seeking vital facts of Chris
tianity.

THE ToADsTooL HABIT.
DANGEROUS Through Ignorance OF
Gatherers of the Food.

II Is a pity that the edible nnush-
room of our fields. the most liked anu
the eommonest of all fungi. snould DO
forever under ban because Ignorant
or careless people persist IN COOKING
a few specimens of the Death cup
Amanita, the commonest of poisonous
fungi with their mess of mushrooms,
and diving suddenly In consequence.
The Death Cup Amanita Is the only
toadstcol which could possibly be mis-
taken for the common edible masn-
room OF the fields, the Agarieus
campestris, which is not generally
known by it's Latin name. and can
get along very wei without 1t. This
field mushroom abounds in the pas
tnre lets and noors. After a heavy
rain II can be gathered by the bas-
ketful IT Is nutritious and paiat-
able food, which can be cooked anu
served in MANY WAYS. all enticins and
satisfving. In its Wild state II Is more
delicious than any cultivated mush-
room One who becomes wen ac-
ouain.ed with It never mistakes for
II the poisonous fungi, which slightly
resembles 1t in contour and color. but
is oasilv racoonI7ed nv one who has
a fair acquaintance with the fungi OF
the fields.
There are, to be sure, thousands OF
edible fungi Only a few varieties are
poisonous. Any good household cy-
clopedia enumerates the best-known
varieties, and has pictures of the pois-
onous kind But the common field
mushroom is the most popular. To
know that, and know it we'll, Is all
10 To ha hla eat
mushrooms without risk. Country
bred folks may not know 1T because
of their preference for limited diet
Many city-bred persons who spend
their holidays in the country know
the mushroom, however, have no dir
ficulty in distinguishing it from the
toodstool. and pick it up without
sense of danger. The term toadstool.
Of course, does not necessarily signi-
~ poison, and 1t should apply as
much to the edible mushroom as TO
the Death Cup. 1t is a survival or
an easily comprehended rustic tradi-
ton. But in common parlance the
toadstool is the poisonous fungus, the
mushroom the edible one.
Good mushrooms go TO waste IN the
fields In such seasons as this simply
ecause so many persons are frighten-
ed by such reports as that of the
Italian family poisoned by eating
mushrooms Perhaps the Italians
were poisoned by something else they
ate, but the simple mushroom gets
the blame Everybody who cares to
may easily learn how to gather edible
mushrooms. The Department of Ag-
,iculture publishes a pamphlet on the
c.,hiec: which Is always accessible.
The books of Peck, Marshall. Nell
yaine and Gibson may be consulted at
the HNraries. Perhaps II is as difh-
cult for the average man to learn how
10 distinguish edible mushrooms from
& hook as 1t Is TO learn how to play
bridge or golf in that way. 1t Is OBJ
viously the wisest course. il you do
not know an edible mushroom from
poisonous toadstool. to let others do
the picking and cooking, and II YOU are
not quite confident of their knowledge,
to LET them do the eating as WE'LL
n Y. Times.
