MAKING COOKIES

When making cookies, I always chill the dough before rolling out, and instead of cutting with regular cutter I make square cookies by roll- ing out dough on piece of greased paper and lifting paper and laying dough on greased inverted pan. When cookies are done, wet knife in very hot water and cut into squares. It is very much easier.-M. H. L.

CHRISTIAN MAYORS
 FOR TEXAS CITIES

Church papers are finding hopeful indications in recent municipal cleo tions in Texas. where in Fort Worth and Dallas men were elected mayors who are outstanding figures in the religious life of those cities. The Christian Courier tFort Worth)
 points with much pride to the fact that Fort Worth and Dallas selected
 outstanding churchmen for mayors last Tuesday. especially since so many assume that the world is growing much worse and that the cities in particular are in the hands of the cor rupt element. Mayor E. R. Cockrell of Fort Worth Is a Christian preacher as well as a college professor of the highest type of Christian manhood. He defied the bootleggers. grafters and moral lepers and made his ap- peal to the clean citizenship for re- election. Mayor-elect Louis Blay- lock of Dallas is the publisher of the Texas Christian Advocate, with which paper he has been associated for more than 30 years, and he is one of the most prominent laymen of the Methodist church and is referred to as the grand old man of Dallas.'

THE RADIO FOR

The board of home missions or tne Presbyterian church. U. $. A, IS con ducting experiments to deVlse practical way of providing radio sun day services for isolated communi- ties. A representative of that de- nartment in charge of the board work in the far west made very successful first attempt recently with a Sunday morning service in little frontier settlement 100 miles out of Los Angeles. He had pre- yiously made arrangements with broadcasting station to broadcast religious service one hour each sun day morning. The manager of ra- dio service organization went to An telope Valley to set up temporary radio set. The proposed service had been announced through all the dis trict, and the school room where the service was to be held was crowded. Solo, scripture reading. prayer ana sermon were distinct from beginning to end, and the people listened in rev. erent attention, though the preacher whose voice they were hearing was 1O6 miles away Further experi- ments are being made, and while the radio service will not supplant the work of a pastor who is resent. 1t is anticipated that regular Sunday service can be arranged for isolated communities where visits of the min ister are few and far between.

Ford told a large congregation in Philadelphia that men are more interested in religion today than in any period of the worlds his tory. pr. Ford asked direct questions to men representing all phases of political, business and social life, and In return received an avalanche of re- plies. Touching the matter of church. going, Dr. Ford quoted the following extracts from letters: Men are too busy with luxuries and money getting to be interested in religion" A busi- ness man wrote: Men are less in- terested in religion since the ending of the World war" The first of the 39 questions asked was: ,"Are men or your acquaintance more interested or less interested in religion than ever before" This brought a variety of opinions as to the underlying causes of such interest. but unanimity of evidence that such interest prevails. Some of the answers were: "Men are more interested in real religion, and less in modernism" Men are in- terested in religion but do not know where to find it." Lack of attendance at church services must not be looked upon as indifference to religion.
 Men are comparing the religions of the world as never before" A rather full answer came from prominent business man who said: "I feel that men of my acquaintance are deeply interested in religion. in its pure form, as revealed In Jesus Christ, but less in the traditions and ecclesias- ticisms which oftentimes hides the life, spirit and teaching of Jesus

out of the occasion of the address of pr. Percy Stickney Grant before the New York preachers meeting. pr. George Elliott, a prominent Meth odist minister of New York. offered resolution after Dr. Grants ad- dress wishing him Godspeed." Dr. Elliott objected to the reports that had been circulated concerning his only half truth. Dr. Elliott ex- plained his resolution in these words 'Dr. Grant has delivered a rather rambling and superficial ad- dress with some amusing bits in it, in which as usual he pleaded for the dom, and for such modern things as the new psychology. At the close. several called on me to speak. My very brief address was in substance an affirmation of the belief that re- ligious truth must constantly be and thought. But I argued that this does not imply the abandonment of such doctrines as the supreme God head of Jesus Christ. I made the motion referred to. thanking Dr, Grant for his frank and interesting He was offended by my address and apparently regarded the phrase 'Godspeed' as irony. In his pulpit on April he charged me with de- nouncing him. l admit that the word 'Godspeed,' capable of misin- depreciation. should not have been used. Nevertheless the person who Is broadcasting this statement with no reference to the address which preceded the motion. and Dr. Grant, who charges me with denunciation, are both fit candidates for member ship in the Ananias club"
 RETIRED MINISTER'S TO

This amount is divided as follows: Methodist Episcopal, 6,oo0.ooo; Episcopal. s15,ooo.ooo; sS. 364,000: Congregational. $6,650,000.

The new church already has over 500 members. Last month the attend ance upon the various activities of the church totaled 3.726. A drama league has been formed and play that was recently given brought out an attendance of 1.673. There has been an astonishing increase In the negro population of New York since the war.

Secretary Wilson early in his re-
port to the members of the Associa-

pleased with the provisions Of the
Fordney- McCumber tariff bill, which
he said had been more bitterly as
sailed by some wooden manufactur-
ers. manufacturing clothiers than
at any time in the history of the
Wilson said, were the result of a
very determined effort to lower or
abolish the duties on wool. Secre-
tary Wilson, in further discussing
the tariff bill said:
Contrary to the opinion of some
wool growers. there is nothing in
tho constitution that provides for a
tariff on wool, and 1t behooves US
to be vigilant lest the duty be
charged. Opponents of the present
duty have made all sorts OF
ridiculous statements relative to the
increased cost OF clothes, due to the
increased duty on wool. These
statements should be controverted.
as should also the statement that
the present duty on wool is more
than protective. In order to make
an intelligent case, we must have
definite figures on the cost of wool
production in Wyoming and a Com
mittee of this Association will pre-
sent a QUESTIONABLE relative to the
cost OF wool production for your
approval. | sincerely hope every
wool grower in the State will
promptly fill out this QUESTIONABLE.
AS 1t is of h greatest Importance"
Considerable time was taken by
Secretary Wilson in an able and in
teresting discussion of the Truth in
Febric bill now before congress for
disposal. In speaking of this bill
Mr.. Wilson said:
sleeping peacefully in committees,
was finally reported out ~favorably,
with amendments, by the Senate In
terstate and Foreign Commerce
Committee last December. 1t was
placed on the Senate calendar. but
owing to the press of other legs

out discussion of the Ship Subsidy
bill. IL was not reached before
Congress adjourned. However. we
feel greatly encouraged in having
1t reported out and hope to make
more progress during the next SEES
sion of Congress. Even though the
Truth in Fabric bill has not been
passed. it has had some effect on the
wool consumption"
