WASHINGT0N'S PRAYER
MADE AT VALLEY FORGE

This is said to be word for
word the prayer that Washington
sent up to the Great White Throne
of God in that dark hour of the
republic when his barefoot army
shivered in the SHOWS of Valley
Forge:
almighty God, we make our
earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep
the United States in Thy holy pro
lection: that Thou wilt incline the
hearts of the citizens to cultivate
a spirit of subordination and obed-
fence to government; and entertain
a brotherly affection and love for
each other and for their fellow
citizens of the United States at
large; and finally, that Thou wilt
most g%raciously be pleased to dis
pose us all to do justice, to love
mercy, and to demean ourselves
with that charity. humility and
pacific temper of mind which
were the characteristics of the Di-
vine Author of our blessed religion,
and without a humble initiation
of whose example in these things
we a never hope to be a happy
nation. Grant our supplication, we
beseech Thee, through Jesus
Christ Il Lord. Amen"
So the prayer ran-so wonderful
then and still more wonderful
now when are those in the land
who seek not only to SOY the seeds
of hatred and ~dissension but who
also in their blindness shake their
fists in the face of God.-Los Ange-
les Times.

Origin of Phrase Lost

The phrase used to describe Turkey,
1.-THE sick man of Europe" probably
had journalistic origin, now lost.
Montesquieu 16S9-1755) in one of his
persian Letters" speaks of the Otto
man empire. whose sick body was not
supported by mild and regular diet,
but by powerful treatment, which con-
tinually exhausted it," The expression
is also sometimes credited to Gar
Nicholas of Russia. in a conversation
concerning Turkey held with British
diplomat in 1853: 1--WE have on our
hands a sick man. very sick man."

INGREDIENTS for Jelly

Jelly making has shown that three in

and pectin; and these must be present
in fairly definite proportions. Tart

grapes, when collected at the proper
stage Of ripeness. contain pectin and
acid in sufficient quantity to form u
good jelly when cooked for short
time with the proper amount of sugar.
