WHILE THE WORLD is IN A
Hurry

WHILE THE WORLD is IN A
HURRY
While the world is in a hurry
And we jostle with the throng,
While we have our care and worry
AS the days speed on and on
While the clock keeps on a ticking
And bells ring and whistles blow
There's no rest, save in the thinking
OF the thoughts that bring repose.
While the world is i'm a hurry
We can never stop its pace,
We can never flag it's furry,
Call halt, or stop the race.
But we can, while in the scramble,
Think on things both good and pure.
We can prompt the thoughts to ram
BILE
Where the moral footing's sure.
While the world is in a hurry
We must fling old forms away,
But amidst it's rush and scurry
We can still "Our Father" say,
Simply trusting say, "Our Father"
For all else the life must plead.
1t is still the prayer that ever
Any soul can never need.
While the world is in a hurry
Thrum the harp within the soul,
Let it drown the sense of worry
And the noisy wheels that roll.

To Make Banbuy Tarts

Perhaps it is because of the Moth
err Goose rhyme that the very name
Banburg tarts, in English cook books
called Banbury cakes, has such a pc
culiar fascination. Perhaps it is be-
cause the filling is always one of the
delicious mysteries that we long to
put our teeth into it. And be it said
that our American adaptations of this
mystery are more wholesome than the
English compound of beef, suet, etc.
Baedeker's Great Britain" says of
Banbury: "An old town fam
Gus for it's cakes and ale. Banbury
cross, immortalized in nursery rhyme,
has recently been restored"
The recipe for these dainties calls
for simple filling without the strong
acid of lemon juice, which renders a
crust entirely indigistible. Here it is:
One cup raisins, one cup currants
(probably she chopped them, as most
people do two tablespoons of sherry
wine, three crackers, one egg, the
grated rind and juice of an orange.
Enough for l6 rather large tarts.
