Who is Christ?

Can we prove there is G Christ
without the Bible.
Yes we can prove Christ
without the Bible Everything
the eye beholds has Christ in IL,
Reason teach it. And in order to
prove there is a Christ clearly
we must first prove to the disbe
lever there is a God. For the
man Gale d the,intidel; says there
is no God" And inorder to
prove there is a God we shall
refer the reader to the ant that
crawls on the ground,
1t crawls towards where YOU
are standing move your foot the
little ant sees the foot move and
it starts off running ia the oppo.
site direction. Why does the
little ant do this? And the answ.
err comes because it fears,
1t fears for its life. Again we
see the little Lamb as it has laid
itself down to rest on the bank
of some cooling Brook. ana in the
distance from it there Is a dog
appearing the Lamb watches the
dog approaching until he comes
near, and than the Lamb leaps
up and runs to the Eve. Why
does it run?
And the answer is because it
fears. The Mother Eve with its
lamb by ner sio7 makes as brave
stand as possible but when the
dog comes to close she with the
Lamb runs, And we ask why
does she RUM And the answer
is because she fears.
We ask again does man fear?
And we must acknowledge
that man is the highest power of
earth,
Then when we see man is the
highest power of esrth and man
fears. Then we have proven a
universal fear. For We have
fear in the insect the animal and
in man. Then we have a univer.
sal fear. And by universal
fear in tie highest power on
earth then we must acknowledge
that there is universal higher
power, For leason will demand
it,
We repeat if there is a univer-
sal fear in man which is the
highest power on earth, then we
must acknowledge a universal
higher power over man. And we
say what ever that power is,
worship thou it. It is the God,
Yes bu. You will say we cannot
see fear. Yet, you will have to
say that there is fear by the
eff cts of 1t, and so it is with the
God you cannot see him, but
YOU do see the effects of him but
it is his power that produce the
fear, that fear even which man
has, For after you reach the
highest power there is-you will
find no fear back of that higher
power, And we behold the
effects OF this higher power in
every thing. This same power
holds within bis hands life and

Recipes For Curing Pork

Valuable suggestions regarding the
curing of pork as published in the
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station Bulletin No. 1885, are of parti-
cular interest to hog raisers at this
time. In regard to the curing of pork
the following recipes for the home
curing were given by farmers in diff
fcrent sections of the State and in
include only those that have been used
successfully for number of years:
/. DRY SALT.-This is one of the
simplest methods of curing in vogue
today The meat is thoroughly rubbed
with plain, dry, coarse salt and packed
in large barrels. 1t is allowed to re-
main in the barrels from four to six
weeks, depending on the weather. If
the meat is taken from the barrels,
the salt is thoroughly brushed off and
the hams and shoulders sprinkled with
dry boraX to keep away shippers. The
last process is to hang the meat in the
smoke house and smoke we'll with
hickory or other hardwood for several
days.
=. COMBINATION MIXTURE. -
This process is similar to the dry salt
except that several other ingredients
are added to the salt. For ev2ry thou
sand pounds OF meat, the mixture is
proportioned as follows:
10 quarts fine salt.
II ounces saltpeter dissolved in u
pint of water).
ounces black pepper
pounds brown sugar
The ingredients are thoroughly mix
ei together and result in a damp,
moist product. This is well rubbed
into the flesh side of the meat, which,
after treatment. is placed on board
that has previously been sa!ted. The
meat is so placed on the board that no
two pieces touch. After curing for
ed with prepared or liquid smoke. 1t
snould be painted twice with this pre-
paration, allowing about two days be-
tween treatments, and then sprinkled
with boraX and put in the meat house.
,. SPICED HAM CURE.-The fol-
lowing recipe was furnished by a
Maryland farmer who has the reputa-
ton of producing especially fine hams.
The proportions for 100 pounds of
meat are as follows:
Two pounds brown sugar, IA pound
saltpeter, IA pound black pepper. 1-2
round red pepper, = quarts fine salt,
tablespoonful cloves.
Mix the ingredients together and
then thoroughly rub all parts of the
ham with the mixture. Place hams,
skin side down, on boards. exercising
care to see that they do not touch each
other. and after all are in position. the
remainder Of the mixture is sprinkled
on them. In about six weeks they are
removed and smoked with hickory
wood.

"GOLD MEDAL QUARTET"
Singers from Hampton Institute Will Sing Plantation Melodies at the South Church This Eeyening

This evening at the South Congre-
 gatlonal church the second parish
 supper of the year will be held after
 which the Hampton Quartet of
 Hampton Institute, Hampton, Vir-
 g1n1a, will render selections in the
 church. This meeting is open to the general public as it is for the benefit or the institute. The quartet has been termed the "Gold Medal Quar- tet'' as 1t was awarded a gold medal
 at the recent San Francisco lExposi- ton. The plaintive melody and haunting rythm of the old plantation | melodies or the south is now famous throughout the country and dreams
 of Dlxle are brought back by such songs as Roll, Jordan, Ro1l'' and Swing LOW, Sweet Chariot"
 'Cephas Returns,'' motion picture shows Hampton's message carried by ] one of her graduates to the Sea Islands Cephas, having graduated from Hampton, fitted for the work of farm nl-demonstration agent, returns to his people and his problem. His father, a Sea Islander, meets him at the ferry and together they drive hOmeWard under the moss-draped oaks into the country of long stapIed cotton. The land, weary with it's continued burden of cotton appeals l to the Hampton trained farmer and l the neglected fields, with poor shel- l ters for homes, cry out to him. To his wondering family at home and to groups of Islanders here and there l he tells vividly of the work and study at Hampton. Cephas finds his place as farm demonstration agent at Penn School, under Hampton's direc- ! ton and his happiness in furth ering the work of the school toward an ideal community.
 Hampton has no endowment ade- quate for it's support and each year it's leaders must face the possibility of over $125,0O0. President Wilson says of Hampton Institute: "The peo- ple who are aiding Hampton are do- ing a really great work for their coun- try"
 Miss Anna Beecher Scoville, who l has lectured before the Woman's club on folk songs of the south, will also speak briefly on the negro race.

 regret very much that this correspond ent did not give the signature appended to the letter of the woman or, better still, inclose the clipping of the letter referred to. As it is. am unable to get any clew to the identity of the correspondent, and therefore cannot put Mrs. H. A. l. In touch with her The best I can manage is to print her letter in the hope that some one may have magazines to give away and also may be able to send the large print Bible for the benefit of the woman of ss. It seems hard that she should be debarred from the enjoyment of the word of life. and trust her want may soon be SUD- piled.

 l should think there would be no lack of takers of this offer, for know how eager many correspondents are for quilt pieces and I fancy they will be glad to do the work of quilt making in exchange for the scraps. Also there ought to be no diffi- culty in making some other design besides the plain block pattern. have been much impressed lately to notice how the fashion of the old time quilt is coming back into vogue again. and that even smart and exclusive shops are offering for sale quilts in various designs of more or less elaborateness.

kkI they are living friends to me. I
 have some flower seeds I would
 like to exchange with some one
 who would like them. Among them are petunia seeds, large size, of every color; some double zinnias of every color; dophle marigolds that are really superb; They are so large that they resemble 'carnation in a deep burnt orange. I have also morning glory seed. Last sum rner we had a trellis of them many feet high; they made perfect screen; these, too, are of all colors. There are three different colors in four o'clocks, small daisy seed, cosmos seed, all colors, and cypress seed (the burning bush). These grow from two to three feet high and make a beautiful hedge l like Towering seeds best, and when I look through flower catalogue I like to have all de- scribed in it. l am also desirous to get some ferns. I would have to ask any one sending seeds to pay postage on them, for am not in position to do SO. Will you give my address to any one who wishes to send seeds or plants to me? I also have some dahlia and canna bulbs, but they are rather heavy and would have to be sent parcel post.

beets, and cucumbers. Eggs she may also eat, cooked in whatever form pleases her
 Does this seem a starvation diet or one which obiiges the housekeeper to orcer special items for herself? Is there not in it as much variety as the average family has presented to it at most meals?
 Certain articles are, of course, conspjc- uous by their absence-bread, potatoes and sweets standing prominently among thern-and here is where the woman on reduction intent must display her pow CTS of abstinence. know that to many persons the removal of bread and pota- toes from the bill of fare will mean posi- tive hardship, but it is astonishing how quickly one gets used to doing without these or without rice and nacaroni. The place of potatoes Is taken by one or other of the various vegetables I have mem toned and it is easy to cultivate taste for gluten bread or crackers or unsweet- ened zwteback or something of the sort which is lacking in the fat producing starch.
 Of course it is more or less of a trial to svo.d sweets and serve in their place fruit as a dessert or any nuts except chestnuts, walnuts, and peanuts. But here again habit comes in to help and after the first struggle Is over one gets accustomed to cutting sweets from the dietary and to consoling oneself in the sight of an especially tempting dessert with the thought of the comfort which will await you after you have brought Gowr your weight to a. reasonable sum!
 Of drinking have said nothing as yet, and this has an important place. The claim is made that nothing puts on weight more than taking liquid with the meals, and the assertion seems to be proved by the avoirdupois of those who drink heartily with their food. Take as much water as you choose between meals-the more the better, within req son-but turn away from the filled glass when solids are served with it. The only exception to this may be in the form of a cup of tea or coffee without either cream or sugar, at breakfast or lunch con and a. small cup of coffee at the dose of dinner.
 For the sake of suggestion let me give nasty outline of the menus for the day for the woman who wishes to cut down her flesh
