DR.. YOUNeERT
TELLS Of NEED
Of LuThERANS


DR.. 8. g. Youngert Of the Luth-
erau theological seminary, Angus
tana college of Rock Island, has
written IN article for the Lutheran
bureau OF the National Lutheran
council In New York city, which is
being given wide publicity through
the press. DR.. Youngert is now in
Esthonia. and he writes Of the de-
plorable conditions in that country.
He says Of the 100000 Inhabitants
about q million are Lutherans. Ow-
ing to tho war, and especially to
the Bolshevik invasion Of 1918 4
great number Of them are In dire
straits.
DR.. Youngert has reported to the
European relief committee Of the
National Lutheran council on the
suffering and needs Of the Luth-
Grams in Esthonia. Among other
things he says:
Esthonia was loyal to Russia as
Hhg as 1t was possible to be 50, but
when in 1918, after the Germans
had been forced to evacuate the
country, the Bolshevist revolution
started in all its fury, the Esthon-
ian national diet was established.
and on July s OF that same year
public elections were held for the
state Offices which had to be filled.
In November, 1915, the soviet
hordes forced themselves over a
great deal Of Esthonia and threat
ened Reval. They approached to
within about thirty kilometers
numbering and burning all the
while - they marched on. On the
2Sth of November the people of
the little country through their
government declared themselves
! entirely Independent Of Russia, and
regular army was organized to
ward of the danger which was
coming with the Reds. Itwould be
too much to describe at length the
unspeakable cruelties OF the Boil
sheviks. and, indeed, it is beyond
all human intelligence to find any
explanation for the terrible bar
barities which they inflicted upon
the people here and in Finland,
when they came in there.
Esthonia has suffered much dur
ing the war and in the attacks
made by the Bolsheviks. The
church and the Lntherans have suf-
fered with the country. In fact.
IL seemed to be one of the objects
OF the Bolsheviks in their cruelty
to destroy the church II possible.
1t was at the end Of the month OF
November. after the occupation Of
Narva, that the BOlsheviks swept
down over Estland. burning and

vices were allowed in those parts
OF the country which they occu-
pied. and all religious acts were

Birds of Prey.

Kites were a common sight in
London in the fifteenth century, and
even at the beginning OF the nine
teenth century often formed a feI-
ture of many a rural landscape in
England. A Bohemian traveller who
visited England about 1861 says he
never saw so many kites anywhere
as around London Bridge. The
French traveller and naturalist,
in London "a at Cairo. and fed on
in London as at Carlo, and fed on
the garbage of the streets and cvCn
of the Thames. BOUh kites and
ravens were. in 1855, protected by
law in the city of London. as they
were were found useful as scaV-
onCers. Sir Thomas Browne IN
1862, writing of ravens at Norwich,
saws there were so many of them
that comparatively few kites were
to be seen there. Birds Of prey,
however. were always hated by
poultry and GamCkecpCrs. and the
latter with guns and gins have
well-niCh cNtcrminated them
through the greater part of Eng
land, though some exist in the
Western Midlands and in Wales and
Scotland. In many Indian towns
kites and crows are still found use
full as scavengers, and. although
there is no law to afford them pro-
lection, they are seldom mOlcstcd
by inha bitants of the East.

Pickles or any similar relish adds
a bit to the company table. But the
housekeeper's greatest source OF
embarrassment comes usually from
having insufficient bread on hand when
unexpected company comes. OF all

tablespoons sugar, four teaspoons bak

five minutes in hot to moderate oven.
A well-beaten egg may be added to

arrow in the other. So Puss said:
