naturally can't get rid of unless you
sin against it and when you have got
ten faith in in God that faith grows
stronger with every act that you per-
form along that line-every time you
come into the house of God to wor-
ship Him, every time you do anything
in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
In the first place, the reason why we
believe that God made the world is
because we see the world, we believe
it must have been formed Of things
that do not appear now and SO we be-
lieve that God made it. A friend of
mine says there was a time in his life
when he got very much interested in
agnostic literature. He read the state
ment of a great astronomer that he
had searched through his telescope
the uttermost space and he had never
seen any trace of God. In some of
the same sort of literature he found a
statement made by great scientist
that among all the organisms which
he had seen through the microscope
he had not found any trace of God.
And this friend of mine said when he
read these tremendous assertions it
took the wind out of his sails: he con-
Guided that all this faith in God must
be misplaced when scientists could not
find Him. But God didn't say that
the telescope would find him or the
microscope should find him. Jesus
said BLESSED are the pure in heart.
for they shall see God," and If you
haven't seen God it's because you
haven't a pure heart. He says, "In
the day that you seek me with all
your heart l will be revealed unto
you"
Cut Off His Head
| There was a grocer in China named
John He was a Christian. Although
he was Christian, he wasn't Outright
and shining one, and the Christian
community was very much put out by
John. John would tell lies. They ar
gued with him to give up his wicked
practices, and told him if he didn't
tey would put him out of the church

They put him out of the church. Bye
and bye came the Boxer uprising.
The boxers came to this particular
village and lined up all the Christians
and John was lined up with the, rest
The other Christians said: "You
needn't line him up. We put him out
of the church. He isn't a Christian"
but John said, I'm Christian" The
boxers said to them: Now all you
have to do is to give UP Christ and
we will save your lives. We just want
to get rid Of the allegiance of you peo-
pie to these foreign devils that's
all" They went along the line with
the big swords and said to each one:
"Are you Christian?" and if the an
swer was EYES," off went their heads.

hood, trained and disciplined for war
The new is theirs. They are of it,
The invisible new world lives in their
heart and brain, and they will know
how 70 build the future of the nation
guided by the freshly illuminated
vision of our old ideals. The future
of our country is as dear to us whose
work is nearing completion as its past
is beloved and cherished with pride,
and we would have the new army
know that our hearts are with them
and that we confide the future to them
with proud confidence.
OF the old in things military,
would say to them, respect it. Let
democracy advance, let equality be
made real, let social and political free
dom break0Over every obsolete OBJ
Struction; but in military discipline,
routine, customs, and properties let
our sons who are new at soldering
seek in each detail it's fundamental use
before anything is discarded or lightly
disregarded. The true soldier. wheth-
er an officer of the highest grade or a
man in the ranks, finds nothing trivial
or unnecessary in the smallest military
courtesy or duty. Earnest subsection
of the will to discipline, faithfulness
in little things, attention to details
make the soldier, whether the detail
be one affecting smartness of dress
and appearance. or the nice care of
the MECHANISM of a machine gun or
heavy artillery.
I would say to every man of the new
cess, and happiness of our country; it
is to you we look to show the world

country is in danger

This idea of embroidering in poster
effect has met with a good deal of
approval during the last month. altho
it was looked upon as too strong a
novelty to last at the time it was
brought over from the French de-

The milliners are beginning to use

THE HOUSEHOLD
Edited BY Anne Rittenhouse.


If you are Workings you probably
are-for the Red Cross or any other
war relief organization, be sure to
follow directions. 1t stands to reason
that these organizations have worked
out the best methods for making the
various garments, either sewed or
knitted, that the public is called on
to make. Of course, sometimes GER
tain individuals in charge of local
headquarters make mistakes in hand
ing these directions on to you. We
might make the same mistakes If we
were in charge. If you think there
is a mistake call the attention of some
body to it and get it Strengthened out
But don't try to improve the directions
yourself.
If the specifications call for sweat
ers of gray, dark blue or khaki. don't
make one of scarlet because you think
it more cheerful. 1t might serve as a
good target for one of the kaiser s
soldiers.
If you are asked to make thumbless
mittens, don't add a thumb just be-
cause you think that member of some
body's hand might be cold without it
The thumb was purposely omitted in
the mitten so that the thumb of the
hand could work more freely.
If outing flannel of neutral shades
is given to you to make pajamas of
don't discard it and buy some of a
dainty blue or soft pink instead. Aft
er one trip thru the hospital laundry
it would come out an even more neu-
trail shade than that chosen by Red
Cross authorities.
If the knitting directions don't
seem right, don't change them until
you have made inquiries about them.
The seeming inconsistencies or errors
may produce just the effect that is
wanted by those who have worked
out the directions
