PULPIT AS A STAGE.
The Rev. Herbert Booth Presents Sub.
jects in Novel Manner.

At the First Baptist church We'd
nesday night the Rev. Herbert Booth
almost filled the auditorium, and the
sermon was generally conceded to be
the best of all the excellent ones the
evangelist has preached during the
revival. Each succeeding night a de-
cided increase in attendance has been
noticed. and for the balance of Mr..
Booths say here it is probable that
the church will be crowded to the
doors. He breaches each evening at
7:45 o'clock.
gelist's preaching which is difficult to
describe. One not alone hears. but
sees, follows and participates we'll.
Not only are new truths brought out
from old narratives but this is done
in such a way as to impress them with
a living reality on the mind and
heart. While the sense of seriousness
and reverence is never for q moment
lost at any time during. the service,
DIR. Booth impresse& one as being
absolutely free to- q follow every ina
pulse in the pulpit.
His pulpit is a veritabfe stage. He

scenery. and introduGet characters

as one might see and hear them in a
play enacted by the finest artists.
Naaman the Leper.
The subject of his sermon last night
was ''Naaman the Leper." He divided
his subject under the following four
headings:
Act Showing how it is possible
to be very great and at the same time
very lOathsOme.
Act u.-Showing how it is possible
to be very insignificant and yet very
important.
Act II.-Showing how it is possible
to be very punctilious and yet dread
fully astray.
Act Iv.-Showing how it is possible
for a great deal of conceit to lie under
a great show of concern.

Bowman bill revising the pay of coun-

alterations were made in the standing

LIoxd,s Misty History

Now that Mr.. McKenna is looking
to Lloy6's for substantial contribu-
ton to the revenue from war profits,
it is interesting to recall that the
greatest maritime institution in the
world is named, not after a financier
or shipowner. but after a humble cot
fee-house keeper. OF Lloyd's history,
says the London Chronicle, little is
known beyond the fact that he kept
. coffee house in Lombard street at
the beginning of the eighteenth CEN

Royal exchange, came to be the favor

ers.

MUCH TO Be DONE
Important Matters win Come
Before Congress.
Correcting Mistakes In Past LegisIaf
ton viii Be One Of the Most Press
ing Dutles-Question Of Taxa
tion Also of Moment.

Repairing the mistakes Of the past
will be the chief obligation Of congress
at the session which begins In Deem
Der. While the last congress enacted
the tariff bill. the banking and cur
rency bill and many other important
measures, the remedial legislation
which is on the cards for the next ses-
sion really is of the utmost impor-
lance. since 1t involves the safety as
well as the prosperity OF the nation
and the more businesslike adjustment
Of legislation hastily enacted IN the
past.
In addition to putting the nation in
a condition of military preparedness.
congress also must adopt a program
for financial and business prepared
ness. Revenues must be increased to
meet the deficit in the treasury and to
take care OF the ordinary expenses OF
the government, and. in addition, a
bond issue must be arranged to take
care of increases in the army and
navy.
Taxation already has reached q
point where II Is becoming a menace.
Statesmen will be required to enforce
economy and to eve've the least bur-
densome way Of financing the needs
of the government. Congress also
must look forward to the time when
the European war win end and when
the European mills and factories will
resume their operations and attempt
to recoup their losses by invading the
American and South American mar
kets.
But the chief duty Of congress will
be to repair the mistakes OF hastily
considered legislation in the past For
the welfare OF ah the people, the next
congress should try to look ahead and
plan carefully over a number OF years,
so as to avoid the mistakes Of prece-
ding sessions which it is now forced
to correct.

Cost OF Dress In pavs Of Old.

We have wandered away from the
old plan Of making gowns last for
generations; but, then, the brocades
were simply everlasting, says a fash
ion correspondent. Nor do we de-
mand of our clothes that they should
serve from season to season; we can
have no standbys. We read in the
chronicles of old families of some rich
dresses lasting a lifetime and de-
scending to a daughter. Elizabeth,
the virgin queen, introduced much ex-
travag auce in costume which the
chroniclers did not forget and rather
amplified. But none of the Stuart
queens left, as did Queen Bess, one
hundred gowns and more in her ward

WITH SWEET POTATOES
METHODS OF COOKING TO
ACHIEVE THE BEST RESULTS.
In the Form Of croquettes They Are
Deiicious-Baked in Dish Is
Popular Way With Many
cancied or ScalIoped.

croquettes.-Sweet potatoes are al
most always improved by a second
cooking. especially II they are wa
terry. One way is TO make them into
croquettes. A good recipe calls for
six potatoes boiled and put through
vegetable ricer, seasoned with a
tablespoonful of melted butter and
pepper and salt to taste. Add beat
en- egg. mix well and shape into lit
tie balls. Roll in crumbs. beaten egg
and crumbs again and brown quickly
in boot deep fat.
Baked in Dish.-Another good way
is to slice lengthwise boiled sweet POI
tatoes; put them in baking dish. pour
melted butter over them and brown
them in the oven. Still another way
is to remove the insides from baked
potatoes, season them well with melt
ed butter. paprika, salt and mace, and
return to the skins to brown.
candied.-For candied sweet pota-
toes cut parboiled sweet potatoes into
lengthwise slices and put them in a
buttered pan. Cook for two minutes
three-quarters of cupful OF sugar, a
quarter OF cupful of water, and two
tablespoonfuls of butter. Brush the
potatoes with this and bake them.
Basic them with the strip as they
cook until they are well candied.
Scalloped.-Scalloped sweet pota-
toes are made by slicing parboiled
potatoes into buttered baking dish
and covering them with a well sea-
soned white sauce. On top of the
sauce put some melted butter and
crumbs and bake for about twenty
minutes.
