An Astonished Bow,

In February of this year a Wiscon-
sin farmer took his twelve-year-old boy
to a village for the first time, and
there the lad saw a train of cars. He
was so astonished at the sight that he
lost the power of speech for three
weeks.
If that ~youngster is ever taken to a
circus or a geological garden he'll
surely be struck dumb for the rest of
his life. His fathers farm must be
hidden away in a hole in the ground.

pray every morning and to attend the
mid-week prayer-meeting." 1t claimed
that such revival would cleanse the
country of filth. of graft and Of greed,
petty and big, of worship, of fine
houses and big lands. and high Offices
and grand social functions.
Bishop Gambler also noticed the
Journals appeal and Pastor Russell
quoted him freely as follows
I'VE cannot get a revival of religion
by seeking revival Of religion. No
where in Gods Word are men admon-
ished to seek religion or seek a re-
vival of religion.
Herein is our trouble: we have lost
God! Men called preachers have el-
planned away the Word Of God. max
ing 1t no longer sure Word of proph
ecy, but an antique for the critics to
analyze and discuss. The moral law
has been lowered. The Ten Command
ments have been reckoned as piece
of Mosaic plagiarism applicable to the
needs Of ancient nomads in the will
derness, but having no more than II
qualified bearing on the life Of today.
The Sermon on the Mount has been
treated as sAn iridescent dream The
lordship OF Jesus Christ has been de-
MED, while treacherous compliments
have been poured out upon His name,
as that of merely great Teacher and
noble martyr"
Difficulties In tho Way, Says Pastor
Russell.
The words of the Wall Street Jour
nal respecting the need of the old-time
religion are along proper lines. Bishop
Gambler sees already what also have
so frequently pointed OUT, namely. that
the so-called New Theology, Higher
Criticism and Evolution theories have
SO undermined faith that it would be
folly to look for return of the pious
earnestness OF the past, which was
built upon living faith, even though
1t was not the pure faith "once deliv-
cred unto the saints" dude 81.

degree.
What the world needs, and what
first OF all the Church needs, is to get
doctrinally straight in respect to the
Almighty's character, and in respect
to His purposes with His human crea-
lures. AS soon as that condition of
mind shall have been reached there
will be no need to pray or to ask for
REVEALS OF religion-they Will follow

Here is new way to make apple
dnmplings that will surely please every
housewife, for it is not necessary to
have whole apples, and the juice cannot
run out and burn as with apple dump
lings where the apple is placed in the
center and the dough turned up around
it. The biscuit part forms crispy
