The Mercy Seat.


Thou must not look so much at the
evil that is nigh, but rather at that
which stands ready to pity and help
and which hath pitied and helped thy
distressed soul, and will pity and help
It again. Why is there a hercy-seat,
but for the sinner to look toward In
time of need? Be patient till the
Lords tender merry and love visit
thee again; and then, look up to him
against this and such like snares,
which would come between thee and
the appearance Of the Lords love;
that thou mayest feel more OF his aDid'
ings with thee, and Of the sweet er-
fects thereof. For these things are not
to destroy thee, but to teach thee Wis
dom; which the Lord is able, through
many exercises and sore trials, to be-
stow upon thee; that thy heart may be
rid of all that burdeneth, and Tiled
with all it rightly desires after, IN the
proper season and goodness OF the
Lord: to whose wise ordering and ten
der mercy l commit thee.-lsaac Pen

satisfied with some Of your purchases.
Your local merchant is loyal-he
and your local newspaper, Both oc-
cuby places that you cannot fill by
any service through a mail order
house.
Think how you will miss them if
you lose them. OF course they are
so patient and so apparent that you
forget about them. You accept them
as a matter of course, but, my good
ness, how you will miss them if you
find that you must do without them.
But 1t is such advantages as these
that we are, all Of us, inclined to fail
to appreciate without having our at
tention called especially to them.
But we must remember, the mail
order houses have the merchants in
the small towns by the throat. They
are waging a fierce battle for the su-
premacy. If the mail order houses
win out 1t will mean the elimination
of practically all Of the country deal
ers and small town merchants.
And when this happens you will find
conditions much different. You will
then, when 1t is too late, discover the
great value to you and the inestimable
convenience of having merchant near
by who can supply your wants without
delay.
But the mail order house sweeps
on and on 1t is grabbing up the dol
lars with increasing voracity. 1t Is
grinding the country merchant down
and down until he can hardly make a
vigorous struggle for existence
believe that these conditions can
be helped, even If not wholly removed
and done away with,
believe that there is a remedy for
these conditions-a remedy that can
be applied in every community, with
success.
1t would mean a fight-a struggle
that would cost some time and some
work, but 1t would bring back the
dollars to the country store.
That it would be a success | am
confident. That 1t would win the bat
tie for the country merchants, against
the mail order houses, | feel sure,
The fact Is, right now, that the
big city is growing bigger and bigger
year by year, while the small town
is growing less prosperous.
It's the work Of the mail order con-
Germs. They are milking the dollars
away from home all the time.
Stop it--thats the only way, Keep
your money at home,
That's the only remedy
Think it over.

BEANS AND BROWN BREAD
Appetizing Combination Not as Easy
to Cook as Most People Seem
to Imagine.

When considering the results, the
bean and the bean pot are most i'm
portant. The bean pot must be brown
earthen, with a handle at the side
and a closely fitted cover with white
glazed lining. The beans must be
pea beans. To quart allow pound
of salt pork, solid chunk, lean and
fat about equally divided. Soak the
beans over night in the bean pot.
In the morning set them on the
range and let the water just come
to a boil, but do not let them cook
at all after that. Drain off the water
and take out about a cupful of the
beans. Pour boiling water over the
pork and score the rind with sharp
knife. Put it into the center Of the
bean pot and dispose the beans you
took out around it. On the rind place
half a teaspoonful Of bicarbonate
of soda and three tablespoonful Of
molasses.
Fill up the pot with boiling water,
cover closely and cook in very slow
oven all day, filing up with boiling
water from time to time. If you use
a gas oven have the rear burner lit
and turned down to the lowest point
of ignition and the door Of the lower
oven open.
There are many recipes for the
so.called Boston brown bread. Some
call for rye meal and some for flour
to be used in combination with the
cornmeal, The following is the recipe
which the writer's family has used for
years, almost in sight Of Bunker Hill,
so 1t deserves the name; One cupful
Of cornmeal, one cupful Of graham
flour, one cupful Of white flour, three
fourths teaspoonful of soda, one tea
spoonful Of salt, three-fourths cupful
Of molasses and one and three-fourths
cupfuls Of sweet milk, Mix the dry in
gradients, add the milk and molasses,
mix well and put In buttered molds,
Fill the molds about two-thirds full,
leaving space for the bread to rise.
Steam until the bread is done and then
set in hot oven to brown. To cut
hot brown bread, draw clean, strong
white thread sharply and firmly across
the loaf, pushing 1t down equally on
either side. The result will be clean,
smooth slices, free from the stlcki-
ness that comes from knife cutting
