Scaled Mount Ararat.

Mount Ararat In Armenia Is now
generally believed to have been the
spot where Noah. left the ark. Not
until 1890 did mountain climber sue
coed in scaling its steep assent. Doc
tor Parrot, an Englishman, achieved
that distinction. For centuries the
mountain had defed the efforts of
mountain climbers, and the Christian
ecclesiactics of Armenia asserted, as
an article Of faith. that Jehovah had
made the peak his earthly home, and
that no human could possibly reach the
top and escape divine vengeance. When
Doctor Parrot declared that he had ac-
complished the ascent the priests re-
fused to believe him and they cling to
This attitude of skepticism in snite of
,he fact that dozens of explorers since
have stood nn the top of the Greater
Ararat and gazed out over Armenia

The church has vital program
for our homeland. We have the
philosophy which will solve the
problems created by the presence of
the foreigner and the Black man.
Their presence has set Europe's race
problems right at our door. Presi-
dent Wilson has called attention to
the fact that we cannot consistently
pose as champions of world democ-
racy unless we stop lynching black
men in America. Democracy must
first be made safe for black men,
and brown men, and red men, and
white men, at home! We must solve,
with patience and justice, our class
problems. like those of labor and
capital, if we are to be of adequate
service in helping India where an
iron-clad, centurieS-old, caste SyS-
tenn has separated and held down
the mass of the people.
The church is today setting the
pace in big programs of community
betlerment. Better housing condi-
lions, plenty of Fairgrounds, good
water, proper institutions for re-
building broken manhood and wom-
anhood, good schools,-these are all
part of the church program. No
other organization has so consist

to Christ.
Lesson Text: Acts 16:9-15.
Golden Text: Go we into all the
world, and preach the gospel to
the whole creation, Mark 1915.
The world program of the Chris
tian church has been greatly empha-
sized by the war. Folks who did not
give much attention to it before are
Studying il and backing it up as new
er before. They see that il is the
shortest and surest way for world
peace and progress. There is good
authority for the statement that
when Col. Il. NJ. Houae returned from
his special mission abroad he said
TO President Wilson: "We shall
never have world peace unless the
churches can Christianize interna-
tional relationships" That is what
they have been trying to do, through
the missionaries at work in many
lands, while the unthinking have
been sneering at the work and saying
there were enough heather at home
Now we are beginning to see that the
church had the right idea. We must
work out the brotherhood which
Jesus taught. We must help men to
see and realize the Fatherhood oi
God, upon hich brotherhood is
based.
1t is our duty, therefore, to Chris.
tianize the world. The American
Board of Commissioners for Foreign
Missions, the oldest missionary or.
ganization in the United States, is
already laying statesmanlike plans
for rebuilding life in Turkey anG

The Astronomical Society of France
has again taken up the discussion
which has been before it on several
previous occasions, and that is the
statement that thunder is never
heard at sea. The statement was ori-
ginally attributed to Baron Won Hum
boldt and it has been frequently
questioned, but those who insist that
they have heard thunder at sea have
also stated that the peals were not SO
loud as on land A larger number oil
seaman have been found to agree

gested that the other noises prevail

be the reason why the thunder often
passes unnoticed, but information or

eighteen years old. Last Saturday

not good for dancing. A boy who had

tended to. ! was gone about half
an hour. My boy friend was very
angry and refused to speak to me
the rest of the evening. l was so
embarrassed that I finally got my coat
and hat and went up to him and said
I was going home. He said / could
go, and he didn't offer to take me.

apologize, but I have not heard from
him. I do not think I did anything
terrible even if l was away an hour,
Don't you think he was in the
wrong? BROWNIE.
You should not have gone for the
ride, He was justified in being very
angry, but he should have been toe
gentlemanly to show it publically
He should have taken you home and
then, if he cared to, severed his rela-
tlonship with you.

SUMMER AND WINTER BUTTER
Color No Indication Of Richness or
Fat Value.

Color NO INDICATION OF HiCniess UT
Fat Value.
Scientific experiments have demon
strated that, contrary to the general
belief, the yellow color of cream and
butter is not necessarily an indica-
ton of their richness. 1t was discov-
cred long ago that most vegetable
matter contains yellow substance
called carotin, because it exists abun-
dantly in carrots.
1t is this substance contained in the
cows feed that gives rise to the color
Of milk and butter. Carotfn Is most
abundant in the green forage availa-
BILE in spring and summer so that milk
and butter produced then are more
yellow than in the winter, altho the
percentage of fat in winter milk often
is actually higher than in the rich
looking product obtained in summer.
