In the Sunday school there were
All present. With an equal attend
ance in the primary and adult de-
partments. The music at the MORN
ing services were especially beauti-
full; violin music in its sweetest
strains drove away the worldly
cares and prepared our minds and
hearts for the message from our
pastor. Lakeland's talented son and
statesman, ex-Gov. Trammell, was
present and Bro. Wear expressed the
high esteem with which he was re-
garded by his fellow Baptists as a
man true to his church and un-
swerving in his adherence to princi-
pie; also the pleasure we felt as
church at having him worship with
us. Text-"Behold what manner
of love the Father hath bestowed
upon us that we should be called
the Sens Of God" Gods love is uni
versal, everlasting, without limita-
ton. For God is love, and all that
we ever have felt is but an express
sion of Gods love in the heart of
man. God expresses his love by his
gift of His well beloved Son, for we
are the objects Of His love. Central
thought was the Fatherhood Of God.

CHILDRENS PULPIT
Failure Through Disobedience

Many, many years ago there was q
man chosen to be king over a helpless
but promising people. He was q
large, strong, manly appearing fel.
low. And having been chosen as
king he had a wonderful opportunity
before him. The people had been
overrun and their land ruined by their
enemies. This was largely due To
the fact they were divided among
themselves. They had quarreled and
had warred with one another, and
thus became az easy prey for their
enemies.
But they had grown tired of these
defeats. They had seen the folly of
their ways, and had decided to unite
under one king. They were ready to
present a solid and united army be-
fore the enemy At last the spirit
of the people was such as to enable
them to do great things. For in
union there is strength. OF course,
the king chosen would have a hard
job, but his opportunity was as great
and glorious as his job was hard.
And, best of all, this people placed
their trust in God. They were
strongly religious. A people to be
finally successful must trust in God.
Thus their religious faith placed
them in a position to accomplish
great things. Too, God had faithful
ly promised to be with them and lead
them to victory if they would obey
Him.
So a man by the name of Saul was
chosen, who became the first king Of
the Children Of Israel. Few men
have had as great an opportunity as
he had for doing something great for
humanity. His was a united people;
a God-loving people. And things
started off very nicely, too. God was
with King Saul, just as He said He
would be, and the king won victory
after victroy. 1t seemed for a time
that Saul was going to make good and
full use of his opportunities.
But, alasi Saul became disobedinet
to God. He disobeyed the voice of
his own heart He became selfish and
harsh. What seemed to be. victories
for him, turned out to be defeats. On
one. occasion when he had disobeyed
God, Samuel, the prophet, appeared
before him and warned him against
his disloyalty to his God and his own
defense. For his own heart spoke
against him.
But he continued to disobey, and
thus continued to lose his power. He
lost the respect of God, of the people
and even of himself. He was reject
ed by God, by Samuel and finally by
the people. He became such miser-
able wretch that when one day the
battle went against him, he took his
own life by plunging his sword into
his side.
Too badl And all because he dis
obeyed the voice of God and the voice
of his own heartl But then he is not
matter what the opportunity may
have been. 1t took away Sauls song
and hope and left him nothing but
grim despair. It has done the same
for all those since his day who have
disobeyed the voice of God.

Y. N. C. A. NOTES

In speaking of the activities of the
Y. M. C. A. in the American armies
General Pershing recently said:
"The work now being done by the
Y. M. c. A. for the comfort and en-
tertainment Of our soldiers is very
important. As an organization its
moral influence is highly beneficial
1t performs real service that makes
for contentment. The Y. M. c. A. has
won its place by unselfish personal de-
votion to the soldiers welfare and
deserves staunch support by our peo-
pie at home"
Major-General Scott after his tour
through Russia and the Balkans said
"Every idea that reaches the Russian
people now will bear fruit-good or
evil according to what is sown-for
many years to come. 1t is fer this
reason that am deeply interested in
the great effort which is being made
to raise large sum for the prosecu-
ton of the work of the Young Mems
Christian Association in Russia. 1t
appeals to me as an American. as a
soldier and as a Christian; it will
help the Russians and it will also help
u.s."

We Banner folks believe that nova.
days a newspaper must be a good deal
more than a newspaper. OF course,
If it is honest and means to be help
full in the community it will print all
of the news every week, and 1t will
have sound Observation-Disclosures
which are unmistakable and say faith
fully what they mean.
The Banner aims to do all OF that
and much more. The Banner believes
that newspaper should be bright and
entertaining and sunny in disposition
and manner. 1t should be very much
In earnest and speak firmly, but 1t
need not snarl or wear a crouch eth
er on its first page or its editorial
page. And again, we say, 1t should
be entertaining.
In order to make The Banner an en-
PERTAINING newspaper, as well as an
Informative and useful one, we are
printing every week a carefully sell
ected list of what we call features"
articles of a particularly instruc-
tive and entertaining nature. We
want very much to have you of The
Banner family know about these fea-
lures and like them and get quite in
to the habit of reading them. We
know, too, from what we hear that
you are going to do it more and more.
We aren't going to try to mention
them all here-only two or three, for
we shall have something to say of
others later. The two pages i'm
mediately preceding the last page we
call The Magazine Pages of The Ban
ner. On those pages are many live
features each week.
The Banner hopes that there are
children in most of the homes where
it goes. For in its pages we are print
ing weekly a series of enchanting lit
tie stories for children These stor-
les teach and train and make children
better and happier. And then there
is-but we will talk about some of the
others next time.

FOOD TOO HIGH.
SAYS PRESCOTT

"Exorbitant" is what State Food
Administrator Prescott calls some OF
the prices retailers are getting for
foodstuffs in Michigan.
This afternoon Mr.. Prescott was
handed the concrete result of a sur
vey made by the dairy and food de-
partment October Is. On that date
Commissioner Woodwork had his
men try the prices in AS towns in the
state. They priced eight different &C.
real products, three dried fruits, sug-
airs and syrups, nine fats, five vegeta-
bles and II kinds of meat and fish.
The differences between the high
and low prices is what caused the
explosion from Mr.. Prescott. For
instance, flour, one Of the most inn
portant of all staples, is priced from
S2.40 to $3.72 in 40-pound sacks. This
is the best of No. flour. The low
price is obtainable in Ann Arbor and
Adrian, while the top-notch of 1912
is reached in Holland.
Flour. which in these days of war
breads and substitutes to be used
on wheatless days, runs from $1.20
a 24-pound sack in the villages of
Rockford to $500 for the same sized
sack in the city Of Allegan, less than
so miles away. A 10-pound sack of
flour could be bought in Manchester
for "a cents, while in Alpena on the
same day it cost 81. There was a big
price variation in ordinary soda
crackers sold in bulk. In Alpena they
were six cents pound while in Grand
Ledge they were %.
Canned goods did not have nearly
so large a range, but when the prices
of the three dried fruits listed by the
department are looked at a return to
"exhorbitant" is noticed. Prunes sold
for 10 cents pound in Traverse City
and Pinconning, while in Otsego on
the same day they were 80 cents.
Evaporated apples were IL cents at
Tawas City and "a cents at Traverse
City.
GRADUATED sugar shows a range
only of from 9 to III cents, butter
from IA to 81 cents. leaf lard from
26 to SO. oleo from % to 81, but olive
oil has the big space of from 81 cents
to $1.50 a quart tin. 1t was low in
Highland Park and high in Port Hu-
ron. The state average is $1.03.
Cottonseed oil varied from so cents
to 90 cents, corn oil 81 to so cents,
milk z to IL cents quart American
cheddar cheese % to 35 cents pound.
Fresh eggs were low at 80 cents in
Allegan and high at so cents in De-
troit, Highland Park and Pontiac. The
state average on eggs was "a cents.
White potatoes ran all the way
from 90 cents a bushel in Alpena to
S1.87 bushel in Detroit. Sweet po-
tatoes were $1.25 bushel in Alpena
and 81 in Sault Ste. Marie. The po-
tato state average was, white $1.25 a
bushel; sweet $2.70 bushel.
Staple cuts of meat showed little
variation, but when it came to the
fish the range in price in some cases
was very marked. Salt mackerel
were only 12h cents a pound in Bat
tie Creek, but 40 cents in Manmon.
The average was %. Salmon sold in
Lansing at Is cents a pound and in
Manchester at 40. The state average
was %.
Salt cod ranged from 81 to 30, while
halibut steak was % cents a poung in
Holland, Greenville and Port Huron
with an ACREAGE over the state of q
cents.
Whitefish was Is cents pound in
Lansing and % cents pound in Dun
dee.

Barley Dishes


Barley has been used for years in
invalid cookery for broths and as in
FAINT food. High-grade barley con-
tains as much protein as hard wheat
1t furnishes starch, fat and mineral
matter in equal amount with wheat
As barley lacks gluten, wheat flour
must be added to barley meal or flour
to make successful bread, using one
part of whole wheat or white flour to
two parts of barley flour. Barley
meal has a similar texture to corn
meal, both the flour and the meal may
be obtained in many sections of the
country and as the increasing de-
mand for it grows, will be more COM
mon in the smaller markets. Barley
cookery is being revived because of
the lack of wheat flour. and we are
beginning to appreciate its value as a
food.
Barley P0ne.-Add two cupfuls of
milk to one cupful of cooked hot hon.
ing grits or rice, three tablespoonfuls
of butter. then cool and add a half
teaspoonful of salt, a cupful of barley
meal sifted with two teaspoonfuls of
baking powder. then add 2 we'll beat
en- eggs; pour into buttered dish and
bake in a moderate oven forty-fve
minutes. Serve from the dish, cut in
triangular shapes.
Breakfast Food.-Add a half cupful
of barley meal to two cupfuls of boil
ing water and a half teaspoonful of
salt Cook in double boiler one
hour or in fireless cooker over night.
Serve with cream and sugar. Figs,
dates or raisins may be added if de-
sired.
Barley Scenes fake a cupful each
of whole wheat -four, a cupful of bar
ley meal, half teaspoonful of salt,
two teaspoonfuls of baking powder.
two tablespoonful of beef drippings,
or any sweet fat three-fourths of a
cupful of sour milk or sour cream
may be substituted, emitting the drip
pings and half of a teaspoonful of
soda. If the fat is used, cut it in as
for pastry and proceed as usual in
the mixing. Roll out half-inch thick
and cut in diamond shapes. Brush
with egg and sprinkle with sugar.
Barley Pudding.-Cook in double
boiler for two hours or until done the
following: One-half cup pearl barley,
two cups salt water Zone teaspoonful
salt). Cool slightly and add the fol-
lowing: One beaten egg, two table
spoonfuls sugar, one teaspoonful but
ter, two cups milk. Put in pudding
cups and bake in slow oven until set
This may be served plain or with

Save Meat!
When using hamburg add bread
crumbs and a beaten egg. You can
make two meals of the same quantity
which you formerly used at one meal.
Save Your Fats
A teaspoonful or a tablespoonful of
fat wasted from the meat platter or
the bacon pan will keep a small fam
lily in fats for use in various foods
and save buying fat. Each fat, like
bacon. chicken, ham, lamb or pork if
kept in separate receptacles may be
used in numerous ways, when a mix
tuer would not be palatable and would
not keep as WELL 1t is wisdom and
economy to have several fat jars so
that each may be kept by itself.
Where the family have bacon every
day or very often for breakfast, if the
fat is never allowed to scorch and is
poured through a small square of
cheesecloth in a sieve, which removes
all specks, it may be used for almost
everything that lard would be used
for.
Chicken fat if carefully rendered
will take the place of butter in cakes
and cookies. biscuits and various other
dishes. Chicken fat may be used in
making beans or when cooking
green's; the smoky flavor is especially
we'll liked for such dishes.
Lamb and beef fats carefully
strained are used for deep frying, and
also in other ways as needed. The
fat cups should be carefully en-
ptied and begun anew every two or
three weeks. Pie crust made from
bacon fat is just as tasty as that
made with lard.
The smoked fats may be used in
spice cakes or highly seasoned foods
so that the flavor is not at all objec-
tlOnaDle.
The habit of carefully conserving
even small amounts of fat will. in a
short time. convince the most skepti-
eel that much fat is needlesslv vast
ed in every home which coud be used
70 save unnecessary buying of fats
for cooking. When fats pass beyond
the redeemable stage they NAV be
saved and make a very good soap for
use in dish washing. so that not even
a teaspoonful need be wasted.
