Food Value of Fish
Extensive Use Recommended by
Department Of Agriculture

Further evidence that fish deserves
a place in every diet was obtained
from a recent series of digestion expert
ments in the United States depart
ment of agriculture. These tests fur
nished scientific proof hat fish, which
has always been reckoned as a val
liable food, is very completely util-
lied in the body.
In the experiments Boston mackerel,
butterfish, salmon and grayfish-a va
riety not generally used in this coun-
try-were made into fish loaves" and
served as a basis of a simple mixed
diet to young men of healthy appe-
tites.
Both the protein and the fat of the
fish were well utilized. Following are
the percentages of protein digested !:
Boston mackerel, 93.1 per cent; but
terfish, 91.9 per cent; grayfish, 92.8
per, cent; and salmon, 93.2 per cent.
The percentages of fat digested were
found to be: Boston mackerel, 95.2
per cent; butterfish, 1914 per cent /;
grayfish, 94.3 per cent; salmon, 93.7
per cent.
In addition to the fish loaf, the diet
included potatoes, crackers, fruit, SUI
gar, and tea or coffee. On the ave
age the subjects each day ate 440
grams of Boston mackerel, All grams
of butterfish, 40 grams of grayfish, or
355 grams of salmon, indicating that
in every case the fish was eaten with
relish.
The department recently has con-
cluded an investigation of the COM
mercial freezing and storing of fish,
and a bulletin on that subject says
that this method of preserving fish will
hold them for many months in the con-
dition in which they were received, but
will not counterfeit deterioration due
to previous heating or mishandling.
Chemical analysis shows no significant
changes in frozen fish held for p

him.

justification is the light Of a soul with

and is a logical result of saving faith.

the human heart. There must be a
hand within that opens when he
knocks.
9. Belief, confession, and service
are the progressive steps of the Chris
tian life.
10. Something always happens when
believers are praying together.

Moonlight Work in Gardens.

A new type of garden laborer
known as the "moonlighter," has ap
peared in the suburban country dis
tricts of England, owing to the short.
age of general laborers. The moon
lighter is a worker who is employed
all day, but who is willing to earn q
little extra money by working during
the moonlight nights in the gardens
and allotments. His is the only sorl
of labor that the suburbanites can now
employ in the digging and sowing OF
the vegetable plot which every sub
urban householder regards as an es
sentlal part of his household.

On his second missionary journey
Paul essayed to go into Bithynia "but
the spirit suffered him not. God
sometimes guides by closed doors. At
times he shuts one door only to open
to us another door leading to larger
usefulness.
AT Troas Paul had a vision at night,
a a of Macedonia appeared saying,
Come over to Macedonia and help u.s..
This was a cry for deliverance, for the
gospel which is the power of God unto
salvation. Men in Macedonia were In
soul need and God sent his wireless
message to n man on whom he could
rely for prompt response.
Paul followed the vision, setting sail
from Troas near the plains of Troy
where Europe and Asia encountered
each other in the struggle celebrated
in Homer's immortal song, he with
Silas, Timothy and Luke crossed the
Aegean Sea and began one of the
greatest and most successful e%nterpris-
es of the world The extending of
Christianity over Europe.
Philippi, where Paul began his Ia
bors in Europe, was so called from the
founder Philip, the father of Alexan-
der the Great. 1t is situate on the
Egnatian Way, connecting Europe and
Asia. AS Paul and his companions
approached the city they crossed the
river Gangies, on opposite banks of
which the armies of Brutus and Cas-
sius on one side, and Octabiarms and
Anthony on the other, were formed in
order to battle before that final strug-
gle which decided the fate of the Ro-
man Republic.
"On the Sabbath they went out of
the city by a riverside, where prayer
was wont to be made, and spake to the
women who resorted thither.' The
place of prayer is a place of power.
God honors the place of prayer by the
presence of his Holy Spirit. 1t is the
peculiar office of the Holy Spirit to
bring sinners to a knowledge of Jesus
as Saviour and Lord. 1t is not strange,
therefore, hat among the women pres
ent, one Lydia by name, "whose heart
the Lord opened, accepted the truth
spoken by Paul and was baptized. Not
only was Lydia baptized but her whole
household. Household religion was es-
pecially prominent in the early church
es. From this small beginning sprang
the christian harvest of the nineteen
centuries.
Lydia opened her house to the apos-
ties, following the example of Abigail,
the Shunammite woman and Mary and
Martha. Her open heart reveals her
receptivity; the open door her gene
rosity."
A frenzied girl, a famous soothsayer,
followed Paul about the streets. He
babe the demon come out of her. This
girl was a slave, so valuable in those
superstitious days that she was owned
by a company that exploited her for
pecuniary profit. The owners, ~enraged
at their financial loss, complained to
the magistrates, who caused Paul and
Silas to be arrested, beaten and cast
into the inner prison.
At midnight Paul and Silas prayed
