Cocos island does not encourage

the Costa Rican government has grant

CRITICISM MUST BE KINDLY
Nothing Good Can Come of Method
Which Does Not "Speak the
Truth In Love-"

There is the story of a contentious
man who said to his pastor, 81 cam
not preach or pray or sing, but ]
can raise objections" Such men are
not rare. There is one, at least, In
almost every church, club, lodge or
society of whatever kind. The critic
is ever with us. And, candidly, we
need him. We cannot do our best
work without him. He is like the
brake in the mechanism of a motor.
car. He holds us back when we
would go too fast. If at times he
delays our progress, he is necessary
to our safety. His conservatism
counteracts the possible evils of rad
icalism. Much might be said for the
economy of criticism.
But the method of criticism is also
important. The brake should work
smoothly. The critic need not de.
stroy the organism he proposes I'd
reform. Often the effect Of his criti
cism is wholly destructive. Sometimes
his methods remind us of the man who
set fire to barn to rid 1t Of rats. A
sensitive spirit who had been harshly
treated by critic retorted. 81 know
there is cinder in my eye, but you
can't remove it with crowbar."
The apostolic injunction, speaking
the truth In love-" gives the critic q
safe rule of action. No truth, however
severe. is unwelcome, If it be spoken
In love. 1t takes the spirit of Christ
to take the sinner by the hand the
while we take sin by the throat

FIRELESS COOKERS
THAT ARE SAFE

Recently the National Board of Fire
Underwriters issued a caution against
using wooden pals or tubs TO make
homemade fireless cookers. To elimi-
nate the danger of fires from these
valuable fuel savers, the Department
of Agriculture advocates using ground
UP asbestos in place of hay, paper, or
wool for packing in them. Additional
safety may be attained by making the
cooker from tin can.

PASS SUMMER in TEMPLES
Picking Custom Of Which the Only
Merit Is Assurance Of Absolute
Peace and Quiet.

Temple parties" constitute a popu-
lar form of diversion for the summer
months in Picking. The hills TO the

temples-rambling compounds OF one
story buildings built centuries ago by
emperors in memory of departed an
cestors. The buildings invariably sur
round paved court or often series
of such courts. shaded as a rule by
century-old trees. In the temple proper
is still to be found gigantic ''Bu,idha"
or idol before whom joss-sticks are
lighted at intervals by priests and
Rcolytes, of whom there are generally
q half dozen all told, occupying por-
ton of the compound.
1t is quite easy and inexpensive to
secure the use of one of these temples

entirely without furniture except inso-
far as raised platform whereon the
Chinese used to sleep might be called
furniture. Once installed the occupant
enjoys absolute peace and quiet by day.
AS a rule he sleeps in the company of
one of the lesser "Buddhas, who is
hidden behind q curtain. The only
intrusion upon his privacy occurs when
the priest or acolyte brings food and
places it before the idol and returns
later to remove what the rats have
left of it.
A number of the oldtimers in Peking

of everything that makes for comfort,
