CHILDRENS PULPIT
David's Forgiveness

When David became rather old his
son, Absolom became anxious to be
king of Israel. He therefore formed
secretPlot against his father. When
David heard of the plot, he asked his
servants to all flee from the city with
him or none Of them would be saved.
The people were very much stirred
by the conditions. David and those
who were loyal to him fled from Jer-
usalem toward the wilderness.
Now, the relatives of Saul, who was
king before David, hated David. And
as David went out with his people one
of Sauls relatives, Shimei by name,
came out and insulted the king. He
threw stones at him and at his friends.
He told David to be gone, that he
was a man of blood and base fell
low. He even declared that this
movement was the plan of God to take
the throne from him and give it to
Absolom because he, David, had TAX
en- it from Saul. 1t seems that when
some people want to be mean they
try to make a virtue of their mean
ness by saying that it is the will of
God.
But David was too big in heart to
pay very much attention to such a
fellow. For one of his friends came
to him and told him that he should
not permit such insults and asked for
the privilege to go over and take
Shimei's head off. But David refused
to permit his friend to thus avenge
him. He knew that no insult could
hurt him except it came from him.
self. He reminds us of the colored
man whom certain white people COM
PEELED to ride in the baggage car.
Others told him how sorry they were
that he had been so insulted. But he
replied that he had not been insulted
for there could come no insult to him
except from his own heart. Those
who put him in the baggage car be-
cause he was black had injured them
selves, but not him. So it was with
Shimei and David.
But the plans of evil do not always
work out. David and his people cross
the Jordan, where his army was
drawn up during the night. When
Absolom came up with his followers
his army was cut to pieces and he
all turned and followed David as he
returned to his throne at Jerusalem.
But what of Shimei? Could he re-
turn and be loyal to David i? Did not
David have a right to kill him /?
Shimei knew that he deserved death
for what he had done and said. He,
came to David and asked for mercy.
He begged even as whipped dog
that David would not kill him. And
David, true to his big heart of
mercy, forgave him and promised not
to take his life.
Of course we all know that Shimei
was worthy of death for talking so
to his king. We would not blame
David at all If he had put him to
death. Still we love the king just
little more because he was merciful
and forgave his enemy. This was the
spirit of Jesus and it ought TO be the
spirit Of us all.

How to Scale Fish With the Least
Trouble

The best way to scale fish is to dip
them in water just little too warm
to bear the hands in and scrape to-
ward the tail. The scales will not fly
and will scrape off like paste. To
skin fish make water little hotter,
but do not let them remain in the wa
ter: If the fish is large scald on one
side at time to avoid softening the
flesh.

For Rusty Curtain Hooks

Place them in bowl and cover with
cloudy ammonia. Leave for half an
hour, and then just stir them around
with a stick. The hooks will look
like new. If the points are difficult
to put through the fabric, push them
into a bar of soap, and they will slip
in quite easily.

Potato Patties

Potato patties call for well-season-
ed mashed potatoes. Flatten the
mashed potatoes out on Toured
board and cut in circles with glass

then in beaten egg, and fry in deep

a hole in each in which to place a
little ground nuts or grated cheese

LEFTOVER Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes are almost as
much of friend in need of the cook
as beef stock or white sauce. And
there are almost as many dishes that
are built upon this nourishing foun-
dation as on breadcrumbs or boiled
rice. So if you have a few boiled
potatoes left over, the best thing to
do is to convert them into mashed
mashed potatoes. Put the pieces Of
potato through a vegetable press,
season with salt and pepper, add a
little butter and enough milk to make
creamy, and beat vigorously until
light and fluffy.

The issue of daily newspaper"
giving information from all Govern
ment departments seems rather clum-
sy. Most persons will continue to
look at their accustomed journals for
such news, having neither time nor
inclination to peruse a special sheet.
More might be said for 1t is a kind of
first aid to the Washington corre-
spondents, but they are not likely to
confine themselves to any Government
publication. Such documents, with
rare exceptions, are the raw material
for news rather than news as news
papers know it. Even if the new
publication aims at greater readbil-
ity, it will be under the one great
restriction from which every such
sheet must suffer; no official and no
government can report more than
specifically upon his or its own ac-
tivities. The weekly bulletin, going
to newspapers with limited sources
of information, should be more useful.

ening, one-half cup, cold water.
The success obtained in making a
good crust is due to the method of
making rather than to the number of
ingredients. The amount given above
is sufficient for two-crust pie bak-
ed in a large tin. For smaller pie
use one cup flour, and one-third cup
shortening.
Method.-Sift flour and salt. Cut in
shortening with two knives, or mix it
in lightly with the fingers. When
ganular like cornmeal remove a lit
tie less than half of the mixture.
Make a soft dough out of the rest by
adding cold water, a little at time,
and stirring as little as possible. Roll
to one-quarter- thickness, sprinkle
over it about one-third the crumbly
mixture previously laid aside. Fold
over the first the sides, then the
ends of the crust, making a small
square.
Roll again to one-quarter-inch
thickness, sprinkle half the remaining
crumbs upon it, fold and roll again.
Repeat the operation using the bal
ance of the crumbs.
Crust made by this method cannot
be tough, but will be exceedingly light
and fiaky.

with numberless men still work
ing the 1O-hour day. If the l. w.
w. was honest and it really
wanted to accomplish someth
worth while for the working clas-

bluff for the six1hour ,day,-an
impossibility at this time.
"The issue it is now attempting
to make for the six-hour day re-
veals the real motive of the pres
ent movement among the miners.
1t is not a strike for better con.
ditions, for more wages or for
shorter hours of labor. These de-
mands are mere subterfuges.
The I. w. w. leaders have but
one purpose as allies Of Germany,
and that is to embarrass the
United States government: by in
terfering with our preparations
for defense. A strike under such
conditions is akin to treason. 1t

be drafted, they should be in

Labor World Characterlzes l.W.
w. Move as Treason.

w. E. McEwen, editor of the
Labor World in Duluth, who has
always been a champion of labor
both in his paper and by his per-
sonal efforts, has come to the con-
clusion that the late move to tie
up the industries Of the country
is nothing more nor less than a
REASONABLE proceeding fostered
by Germany. In the last weeks
issue of his excellent paper, Mr.
Even says:
"Six dollars a day for six
hours work. That's the slogan of
the 1. w. W., among the iron
miners of the Lake Superior dis
trict. Circulars calling for a
genera, strike of miners were this
week distributed among the men
employed on the Vermilion, Me-
saba and Guyana ranges of Min
nesota, and it is reported that a
few miners, principally Firms, are
responding. It is not expected
that there will be any general tie
up.
ga few weeks ago county au-
thorities found in the Socialist
hall at Virginia printed hand bills
asking the miners to prepare for
general strike and stating that
"the miners were producing the
iron ore, which made munitions of
war to kill their brothers in Eu-
rope Government officials are
in possession of these notices
The |. w w. leaders who were
responsible for their printing
were later advised by friends that
the wording of the notice was
indiscreet," as it would furnish
a good excuse for the government
to bring charges of sedition
against them in case a strike was
called, and there was interference
with the production and ship
ment of iron ore, which is used
largely to manufacture munitions
of war.

in the meeting held there Sunday
August 18th, was organized on
the initiative of some citizens of
that county who felt that they
were more the citizens of Amer
lea than of Germany.
1t is apparent to anyone who
remembers the Spanish American
War that New Ulm urged no con-
stltutional reason against sending
the Thirteenth Minnesota to the
PHILIPPINES. On the contrary, the
members of that Regiment were
properly applauded for meeting
their country's enemies where
such enemies were to be found.
The deduction is plain that the
real objection to the present in
tention Of sending American
troops to meet Americas foes
emanates largely in the minds of
certain naturalized citizens. or
citizens of foreign decent, whose
sympathy in the present war is
not given in America.
1t has been said in a number of
meetings held in the State since
the New Ulm meeting, that man
too cowardly to fight his enemy
who is to be found many miles
from home, would be too coward
~ to defend himself if assailed in
his own doory'arJ. Most of the
people of Minnesota would rather
have a fight take place out in the
