We need to magnify the church as
the one divine and sufficient agency
for the realization of Gods redemp-
tive purposes. Other agencies have
been so multiplied and movements
ma gnihed that the church has been
minimized and lost sight of by the
multiplicity of man-made organiza-
tons.
The call of God is back to spiritual
and personal preaching. Too long,
poor tired, perishing men have been
drinking at the worlds empty cisterns
and have not found satisfaction. The
church must open up the fountains of
life to them again; for the civic un-
rest current distress and social prob
lens are all at the bottom soul prob
lens Our task therefore is to remind
man of his in, of the need of for
giveness, of the reality of the divine
life and the necessity of spiritual
religion We must first cleanse the
heart, then the community. We must
seek the salvation of souls for only in
so doing we can save society. We
must come back to spiritual and
scriptural preaching. back to pastoral
and personal evangelizing if we are
to accomplish the will of the Master

Again the Christ of the Bible must
be preached. He is the Son of God
equal in power and glory with the
Father. There must be no hesitancy
or uncertainty here. We must believe
in the absolute and unique Diety of
Jesus Christ the Son of God and

A VERMONT CASTER
By Daniel L. Cady, in Burlington Daily News

Twas great to see our table set
When company was coming;
The change from a la weekday style
Kept everybody humming;
We always used our Bristol blue,
With napkins white as plaster,
And on the table always went
The silver-plated caster.
The teaspoon glass was filled SO full,
With all the teaspoons in it.
To hnd the sugar spoon would take
The best of hall minute;
The. teapot tile was right on hand
To ward away disaster
The butter knife with crooked shank,
Was right beside the caster.
The caster stem was half as tall
As little sister Mabel,
And bulged like thunder where it spread
To stand upon the table;
The shelf that whirled had silver lace
A phlox design or aster-
That run clear round the bodice part
And handsomed up the caster.
-Four bottles dangled through the shelf,
And each one called a cruet;
The mustard was the neatest one.
And all the family knew it;
The vinegar Mont Balanced the rest,
AS though twas lord and MASTER;
The pepper TASKS with lesser Alps
Twas sure a corking caster.
The mustard spoon was boxing wood,
And went right through the cover,
The thinnest thing I've seen in spoons
'Twixt Delpi, Greece and Glover;
We used the black.face pepper lots,
The red was quite a laster;
III tell you what. 1t looked like eats
To see that plated caster.
That bright cayenne could cure a cold.
And spiced a stew up splendid;
A half pinch made pullets lay
When laying time was ended;
used to say: when I'm a man,
And well fixed up like Aston,
won't set down. By George; to eat
Without some kind Of caster.
The vinegar made boiled dish fine.
Whilst sassage lived for pepper;
The mustard set your feet to work,
Like Uncle Moigan's stopper;
There may be city elbows and chuts
That tang your tongue up faster,
The seasoning, though. that stands BIZ me-
Was In that plated caster.

'We get used to it," the Doctors
wife said so as not to be disappoint-
ing, smiling to herself. What fun 1t
was to be a doctors wife. How much
pity one got one didn't deserve, how
much wasted sympathy, how many
deliciously jealous thoughts one in
spired.
1t was Christmas Eve. The doctor
had promised his wife that he would
help her in those many pleasant en-
crossing night-before- Christmas tasks.
She went upstairs to see that the
children were quite asleep when she
heard the telephone ring. She an
swered it, and then heard her hus-
bands voice who was already answer
ing It from below.
Something, some curious something,
made her listen.
"Oh DOCTOR" she heard a voice say,

lately caused her her first pangs or
jealousy, 81 can't wait another mo-

"Im going out for awhile" the doc

gone without a word of regret and
with no effort at an excuse.
Late that evening she went out of the
house. She would see this other wom-
an. She called a taxi and hurried off.
"Pm sorry" the maid told her, but
Madame can see no one" And the
door was shut abruptly.
What would she do? What could
she do? Finally, exhausted after walk
ing about the streets, she went home,
her heart full of dry, choking sobs.
At last she heard the doctors key.
He came in. He looked tired. But

BRYAN REFUSES
TO Be RECONCILEO
The COmmOner Appeals For a
Dry Congress.

Lincoln, Neb. 19.-William ]. BRYAN

Governor Cox for president.
In his paper, the Commoner, he re-
peats his assertion, made at the San

is in the grave" with the rejected dry
plank and he must pause until it
comes back to him."
Bryan ignores the San Francisco
proceedings, except merely to print

his pleas to the necessity to elect a
dry congress, regardless of. the party
affiliations Of dry candidates.
Except to take issue with Cox on
the repeal of the excess profits tax
Mr.. Bryan only mentions him to call
attention to his recognized wet lean
ings.
After mentioning Cox's consistent
assertions that congress can increase
the alcoholic content of beverage
liquors and the unanimity with which
his followers support him In this at
titude, the Commoner says that any
