the second annual cooking school

Paso Herald opened at 1870 o'clock Sat
uTday afternoon in the spacious lower
floor of the Rogers Furniture company
at 2O7, 209 and 211 North Stanton street.
Mucic for the event began at 1880
O'Clock during which time the visitors
and attendants upon the free cooking
school wandered about the main floor
and the mezzanine examining the var

attyactively displayed by the business
houses of Ell PasO.
Promptly at 2 o'clock Mrs. Edna J.
Evans, that cleverest cook and chef
now west Of the PecOs,@ stepped upon
the platform gaily decorated with flags
and began the first of a series of lee

particular set Of temptations best cal
culated to break down his own set OF
defences. is pathetically likely to yield
to emptation.
To one of US money is the tempta-
ton that is practically irresistible.
Hasn't each Of US heard some sturdily
honest individual say to a bank cashier
or to the handler OF money to any large
concern. I wouldn't want to be in your
place. Doesn't handling all that money
every day drive you almot mad with
the longing to have it for your own?''
Now, probably, the particular indi-
vidual who was advanced to that posi-
ton is there pretty largely because he
IS an individual Of commercial honesty.
Most absconding treasurers and cash
iers run away, not because they have
yielded to the temptation directly due
to their money responsibility, but be-
cause Of some outside influenCe-the
races, cards, drink or even an Illicit
love affair. And probably an individual
who meant to be honest and who
thought he was honest yielded to just
the paDticular temptation an inherited
and cultivated tendency toward alcer-
tain sort Of weakness made too big
for his power Of resistance.

Cultivating strong inhibition and
strong power over ourselves is likely
to help any one OF US to resist tempta-

Haman did as he was commanded and
afterward went home to tell what had
happened. While Haman and the king
were at the banquet the king asked
Esther what she desired. Then she told
him about the order that all her people
should be slain and when he found out
that Haman was the cause of this order.
he commanded that ne be taken ut

Esther and when he found that Morde-

estate to MOrdecai. Then she prayed
if her people were killed she herself
couldn't live any longer. He promised
he would not do anything to displease
her, but to write what she wished and
he would sign his name to the writing.
So he granted all the Jews to stand to-

mics, in numbers about $4,000 men.
Mordecai was great in the kings house
Then the king asked Esther if there
was anything else she wanted
Yes. I want the ten sons OF Haman
to be hanged.
So the king ordered them hanged.
These $4,000 were slain on the 18th day
of the month and the next day was kept
as a festival These days are kept by
the Jews and are called days OF Purim

Gods Care for His People.
The purpose Of this story is TO show
Gods care for his people and his power
and ingenuity in providing that care.
We see here what prayer does, that God
does and will provide an answer. also
that great events often hinge on seem
ing trif1es.

fate Of a nation was changed Because
he, the king. was merry with wnie."
he found IL necessary to divorce his wife
whom he really loved In the case OF
Haman, we see that pride surely goeth
before fall" and where one plots evil
against another It is sure to fall back
on oneself. Some people can't stand eX-
altation. It makes them mean and IN
grateful
As for 8Iordecai we see him doing his
duty faithfully day by day and seizing
his opportunity when IL comes. His
faithfulness was rewarded, although
he neither looked for, nor expected
honor.
Esther's traits Of character were 10y

to God in prayer for the salvation OF
herself and her people. She was cOura-
geous, for it took no small courage Cor
a girl at home feeding her doves, or
making cakes Of corn and honey, to say
to her uncle when suddenly called to
appear before the capricious Persian
king:
Il win do what you say and II I per-
ish. I perish" So we admire her and
love her for her heroism as she has
been admired and loved for centuries.
In this story we see a parallel in our
times when war is all around US and
the picture at times is so dark and dis
tressing- We know that God is in his

way he will bring order out of chaos.
