Gospel Teams in many places have
rendered good services in, evangelism.
With some teams, however, there
seems baneful disposition" To work
independently of the pastor and to
ignore the church. Gospel Teams will
prove beneficial only as they serve the
Kingdom of Christ in connection with
His organized church
We have about 80 churches and 40
preachers, including supplies. In the
main these pastors and their people
have labored faithfully and efficiently,
and God has crowned their labors with
marked success in all lines of church
activity. Our brother in detached SER
vice, DR.. w. p. Stoddard, continues TO
give excellent service to the Iowa
Methodist Hospital, and we rejoice in
his ability.

Wallace E. Gill of Los Angeles,
WhO has been holding tent meetings
at Newton, was to have been the
preacher at the evening devotional
meeting but met with an accident dur
ing the afternoon and was unable 10
take the service. In his stead F.
Olin Hunt Of Fowler, Kan, preached
an eloquent sermon emphasizing the
importance of old landmarks in Chris.
tian living and the power of the cross.
He was introduced by E. H. Strana.
han after a devotional service in
which the services of q quartet con.
sisting of Messrs. Wright Coffin, Con.
over and Jones was much appreciat.
ed. Mr.. Hunt spoke of the value of
the landmarks not as simple living
in the past but as a place from which
to base our present life. The great
place in the Christian life to which we
should go back as a landmark he
spoke of the cross. He declared
that. preaching which left out the
cross failed of effectiveness. He used
the electric wire as an illustration o.
the godhead. He compared Jesus to
the transformer which takes the
strong current and puts it in form
where it can be used. He said that
the greatest power misapplied be
comes an instrument of death. so the
power of God when misused becomes
q destructive force.

Changes m Discipline.

The reportof thelcommittee appoints

the Iowa additions to the uniform
discipline was next taken up and its
consideration is extending into the
afternoon session. The first pro
posed change was one which places
ministers entering from other church.
eS upon the same footing as one al
ready member of the church in the
matter of recognition. The second
proposed change was to set the date
of the yearly meeting one week later.
Some difference Of opinion was de-
veloped and the change was rejected
probably because Of the conflict caus-
ed by the opening OF the public
schools at that date The matter Of
secret societies was left as it is in
the uniform discipline Of the church.

At one OF the mothers clubs attended
a few weeks ago. we discussed the sub
tect OF baby talk" in all its bearings
on the after life OF the children who are
allowed to use II. That was not the
topic that was on the printed program
for the afternoon-the main subject was
the age at which the education Of a
child should begin-but apropos Of the
time when a child might safely begin
to learn a foreign language, one Of the
mothers present rose and asked:
Can We really teach them foreign
languages as long as We allow them TO
murder their own? Can the child whose
mother calls him 'muzzer's itty witty
p'ecious yump O. soogar ever teach him
English, to say nothing OF French and
GermanT'
We all laughed, Of course, both at the
successful mimicry Of the foolish mother
and at the disgust with which the speaker
quoted the passage, but is II funny, dear
mothers?
1t sounds very cunning to hear the
baby lips stammer over the unfamiliar
words; we feel a positive glow Of tender
ness when baby's father is called "ta-ta"
instead OF papa; with smiles and mods
we retail to the neighbors the news that
baby has learned to say ''bak-te" for

But is 1t fair to a child 10 encoura ge

these are mistakes. defects OF articula-
tion, II you wish to be accurate, and for
the life OF me I cannot understand why
We wish our children to retain these when
We struggle so hard to correct all other
defects!
1t is an interesting study, the develop
ment OF language. the more so when we
learn that the young child in learning
to speak goes through IN a brief time all
the changes in articulation that the hu-
man race experienced in the evolution
OF speech. For instance, almost all young
children interchange their Cs and t'sI

Just so in the growth OF language the

clearly distinguished, we are told, by the
ancient Egyptians, and the Chinese to-
day do not use the letter ''r'' at all: "all

English word.
These things represent a backward de-

The term sciatica gets It's name from
the Greek word hip Joint and describes
a painful condition OF a great trunk
nerve in this situation. The sciauo nerve
springs from the sacral plexus, and very
often trouble begins with pain in that
region OF the back Sciatica Is never re-
ferred to as neuralgia. 1t is far more
severe, because when OF long standing
It causes wasting OF the muscles and
other textures supplied by the disabled
nerve.
Sometimes It IS Impossible to relieve the
pain and ali remedies seem fruitess
even the most heroic forms OF treatment
In such cases, the cause Is frequently
very obscure, such as tumors in the
pelvis, or a diseased bone. or injuries Of
the hip joint Examinations Of the alb
dominal and pelvic cavities often clear
up the seat Of the trouble. The 1-ray has
proved invaluable in searching out OBJ
scure causes of sciatic pain.
An attack may come on suddenly or
gradually. Stimulating lumbago, gradual
ly working down the leg. Men are far
more liable to this affection than women.
1t has been called hip gout, and is most
common between the ages OF forty and
sixty. Prolonged constipation of the
lower bowel has been known to excite it.
in which case purgation affords relief.
But sciatica Is usually or long Stanu-
ing, being very obstinate. Much depends
on appropriate treatment and rest of the
affected limb. There is no specific for it.,
everything under the sun almost, having
been tried, from hyperdermic injections
of osmic acid to blisterings with hot
needles. Ones general health has a good
deal to do with the cure. This must be
well looked after and the entire course
of treatment regulated accordingly. but
rest in a warm bed and patience are i'm
perative.
With the first appearance Of pain in
this region absolute rest should be in
sisted upon, maintaining as level a posi-
ton In bed as possible, with the feet
slightly raised. all noise and excitement
avoided The diet must be plain, but
nourishing. A damp climate should be
avoided by those subject to this painful
disturbance.

Monday, May I, 1919.
This is not favorable day. although
carly in the morning the Sun is in bene-
flc aspect Saturn. Neptune and Mars
are all strongly adverse.
The morning is a particularly unlucky
time for any project that appeals to the
finer side Of humanity. The rule arouses
suspicion and criticism.
Treachery is held to be more common
while this sway prevails than during
other confgurations.
The aged should be exceedingly eau
tious. The stars presage falls, illnesses
and disappoIntments.
The planetary government is threaten
ing for anything that concerns commerce
or travel on The water. whether on small
streams or the sea.
| Again warning is given against the in
1uence of false prophets and teachers OF
new cults. One who will establish a
Mecca near New York City will bring
trouble to many women.
| This is not a good sway for domestic
happiness Quarrels and misunderstsnd-
\ lngs are easily brought about while the
rule continues.
Mars indicates continued agitation In
connection with all military matters. The
vast expenditures, so long predicted for
the United States. will cause surprises in
the political world, owing to necessary
taxation, which will be exceedingly bur-
densome in certain quarters.
Increase Of influence on the part OF So
cialists again is foretold. A woman of
radical views will be hailed as a martyr,
owing to imprisonment or some other
penalty.
| A great naval battle or disaster at
sea is indicated for this month or some
time within the next six weeks.
Mexico continues under a rule OF the
planets, which Is believed TO presage
profit for the United States and fame for
"gringo." The prophecy that a hero
from this cnGntry would rise in Mexico
has been made repeatedly in the last two
years.
Persons whose birthdate It Is may have
many business anxieties. Neither men

Children born on this day may be ex-
ceedingly lucky. Boys are likely to rise

Rhubarb Recipes.

Rhubarb. one of the most useful of
spring vegetables, deserves to be
served in more ways than as pie and
sauce on everybody's table. But as
pie and sauce are the two most usual
rhubarb delicacies, recipes for prepar-
ing them may not be amiss.
The easiest, and perhaps, the best,
way to prepare rhubarb sauce is to
wash the stalks. dry them, peel them
and cut them in two-inch or shorter
lengths. Then stew them slowly in
water to cover, taking care not to
boil rapidly, as this makes the rhu-
barb a shapeless mass. When tender,
sweeten to taste, and remove from the
fire. Simple but delicious.
Here is a good recipe for rhubarb
pie: Line pie plate with rich crust.
Mix a cupful of sugar. half a cup
full of flour and half a teaspoonful of
lemon juice. and spread half of this
mixture over the pie crust. Fill the
crust with rhubarb, washed, dried,
peeled and cut in short pieces. Spread
on the rest of the -four and sugar and
put on a top crust. Pierce with air
holes, and bake slowly until brown.
Rhubarb and spaghetti pudding is
unusual and is made in this way:
Have ready a quart of stewed rhubarb,
rather sweet and without much Juice
Place a layer of 1t in the bottom of
a pudding dish and over it put a layer
of cold cooked spaghetti. cut in short
lengths. Fill the dish with alternate
layers of the spaghetti and rhubarb-
using about two cupfuls of the boiled
rhubarb. Have the spaghetti on top.
Pour over all a pint of milk, mixed
with two egg yolks and a little sugar,
and bake until the custard is just
firm. Make a meringue of the whites
of two eggs, well beaten, and sweet
ened with two tablespoonfuls of gran
ulated sugar thoroughly beaten in, and
spread over the pudding. Brown in the
oven and serve either hot or cold.
For rhubarb jelly. soak a quarter of
a boxful of gelatine in half a cupful
of cold water until soft. Cook a pound
of rhubarb in half a cupful of boiling
water until tender, add a cupfuI Of
sugar and when sugar is dissolved
pour on softened gelatine. Then add
the Juice of an orange or two-the
whole should measure about a pint
pour into a mould, harden, and serve
with whipped cream.
Rhubarb custard is easily made. To
three cupfuls of stewed rhubarb add
two beaten eggs and pour the mixture
into custard cups. Set in a pan of hot
water and bake until firm. Serve very
cold.
