the creation until the present time.
Great prosperity will beget in the
human heart spirit of pride and
righteousness, and lack OF regard for
the rights OF others. This spirit has
SO dominated the minds OF the rulers
OF the leading powers of Europe that
they could only grasp the idea OF
world power. England was boastfuI
OF its great wealth, and its control
CT the seas by its tremendous navy.
Germany boasted of its having the
most powerful and best disciplined
army in the world, and defed all the
nations of the world TO say It nay.
While both OF those nations in
point of intelligence and education
stand much higher than most other
countries, they have incurred the dis
pleasure OF God through pride and
greed for gain. Their pretense at
God worship was mere form, and in
the language Of the Scriptures,
they indeed worship me with their
lips. but their hearts are far from
me. These nations have all Justly
met tho displeasure Of God through
sin OF sci! Independence and avarici-
business, and the absence OF love for
their fellow man. France was not so
boastrul Of its power. thuogh il had
great weaith; but France was a very
wicked country. Pride, strong
drink and gambling were its besetting
sins. Tho true Christian spirit was
little manifested in any OF the war
ring nations. and all will be made 10
humble Themselves before God before
the terrible strife will end. II is a
great pity that the Belslans. the
Serbs and other Balkan states should
have to be the victims Of death and
great suffering BY such powers OF
Iavaricious despotism, hut these
smaller nations themselves were
notw ithout sin.
As for Germany, If 1t had no other
sin to its charge. the sin Of allying
itself with that most wicked. despotic
and cruel Of all nations. whose rellg-
ion and ambition have been to perse-
cute and murder all its subjects who
espouse the Christian faith. Turkey:
that one act would be sufficient TO
bring down the wrath OF God, ana
cause its final overthrow.
But what part are we going TO
play in the great war drama? So
far, our government has kept its
hands washed clean of the blood
stains: but some OF our politicians

by the appeal OF Representative L. C.
Dyer, OF Missouri, who, this week,
in an address before the officers and
men of the National Guard of the
District of Columbia. paid high
tribute to the National Guard OF the
country and who said that in case of
war. the United States must depend
on its citizen guard as represented
by the militia of the various states.
Representative Dyer is primarily an
advocate for the advancement of the
National Guard and he proved salts
iactorily TO all who heard him speak
this week. that the safety of the
country In time of need, would de-
pend largely on the state of prepar-
edness of the men of the various
states who We're enlisted in the Ma
t:onal Guard. II am in favor of
preparedness" Representative Dyer

The Aftermath Of Dinner Is Deluge Of Dishes

# you have not that great labor-saver, a tray
and pile on it all the dishes left on the table,
scraping them as you pile, to avoid handling
twice. Take these to the kitchen, put all sticky
dishes to soak with the others by running
little hot water over them, and let them stand
while you put the dining room in order. If you
use another tray for what is left on the table,
one trip to the sideboard and dish-closet will
be sufficient.
Then wipe every spot from the kitchen table,
so that the clean dishes may be set on it. Fill
big dishpan with boiling hot water and add
little soap powder or liquid soap. Take the
glasses one at time and pass them through
this, wiping instantly with a soft, clean glass
towel. Follow with cups and saucers and with
any glass dishes used for serving, and set all
on the table.
Then put wire plate rack on the left-haud
drain-bcard, wash little more soap and hot
water into the dishpan, and quickly wash the
plates and serving dishes, using dish-mop to
save your hands. Stack these on edge in the
pate-rack and around it and pour over them
clear boiling hot water so that it reaches every
part Of the surface. Leave them to dry while
you refill the dishpan and do the silver and
cutlery, polishing the latter before it is rinsed
Rinse with clear hot water and wipe quickly.
By this time the dishes on the rack will be dry
and shining, and everything ready to put away.
