The illustration may seem homely
and inadequate for the greatness of
the idea and ideal, but have never
found anything that quite so aptly
illustrates the right attitude Of the
soul toward God as the story OF .
negro and his bride.
The negro asked the minister who
married them how much he should
give him, and the minister facetiously
and rather foolishly replied, How
much do you think your bride is
worth? The negro was entirely equal
to the occasion. "Pahson," he said.
you'd make me bankrupt for the
rest Of NAH life"
That Is how every man who has
deep sense Of the love OF God feels
toward that love. It is, moreover.
suggestive Of the inherent quality
ana incentive Of all true love-hu-
man and divine. Where there is such
love. the question Is always not how
little We can do. or . carping ccnsid.
Grafton ot what We should do. The one
thought Is, How much can do for
love and In response to love?
Love Is never calculoting. or II IL
calculates Il Is to estimate how much
can b given, never how little. "Full.
ness" abundance" ''eternAl"-these
are the soet Of words Ia which the
New Testament speaks Of the love
OF God to men, and our love should
move u thu same realm Of express

Y A1ENE SUMNER

The Federal Council of Churches,
alarmed by the rebellion of the
younger generation against conven-
tional sex standards" appointed a
committee which recently issued its
first report on Ideals of Love and
Marriage" One Bishop presided over
81 preachers and professional church
workers, three laymen and one rep
resentative of the American Social
Hygiene Association as the only So
cial worker. The committee decided
that
THE Christian ideal OF marriage
can make no compromise with lax
sex relations"
THE chief danger of companionate
marriage is that 1t puts sex desire
first"
1.-THE free woman on the basis of
equality and self-respect can be the
lifc-matc Of one man only"
Divorce, even when allowed by the
church, must be looked upon as q
tragic and humiliating failure"
X = i
DECISION QUESTIONED
The magazine, "The Nation"
makes the following pertinent COM
ment:
Such sweeping generalizations
naturally evoke questions. What.
precisely are lax sex relations?' Is
the church to be the Judge Of laxity
Or is the younger generation to be
the Judge?
IF the churchmen set up strictly
institutional and legal standards for
judging marriage, what justification
and body of facts can they bring to
the support of their standards? Ger
tainly unless they can supply some
thing more than declarations of prin-
ciple, the younger generation will say
that they are begging the whole ques-
ton Of sexual conduct.
Solomon had 700 wives and 800
concubincs. but by the church stand
ards Of his own time he was not
guilty Of lax sex relations The
Koran allowed q man to take four
wives, and the Hindu law books do
not prohibit polygamy.
"The Churchmen's generalization
on divorce also arouses questions.
Must all divorce be looked upon as
tragic and humiliating? What of the
many reasonable and innocent men
and women who 60 into marriage to
The Bismarck tribune., 1929-03-23

find themselves mis-mated, agree to
part in friendly fashion, and try
again? Must they feel tragic and
Inundated because they have made
a common mistake Of youth?
X \ ss'
FREEDOM:
"And why must the free woman be
the life mate of one man only if
she is to maintain equality and self
respect? Why not leave the choice as
to the number Of gentlemen to the
lady herself II she is really free?
I'VE are living in that particular
part Of the Western Hemisphere
which In the early twentieth century
Is dominated by set Of religious and
social traditions called .monogamy.'
We think 1t the best form Of marriage,
but like all other moral institutions
this one Of monogamy should be
tested on its merits to see II tho ira
ditional method of sexual life Is
sound. This test the Federal Coun.
Gil committee has not made-and per-
hapS cannot make because 1t is bound
In advance by preconceived notion
OF sexual right and wrong. It has
delivered a series Of opinions based
upon the assumption that the pat
tern Of the homogeneous family is
good in itself.
Because of this preconceived moral
pattern the churchmen put the cart
before the horse and suggest that the
family aS an institution is more i'm.
portant than human happiness"
However you may agree or disagree,
there's meat on this bone! Put your
teeth into It!

CURING THE IMAGINATION


The country doctor used to carry
with him stock of funny stories
in addition to his kit Of medicines.
There is no doubt that laughter Is
wonderful tonic. One who can re-
main good natured is not apt to SUI
fer from indigestion.
Have you noticed that troubles
never come singly? II you have some
trouble the first thing in the morn
ing, the chances are that you Will
have many more before the day Is
over. Many q business man has had
day of failures as the result Of quar-
rels over the breakfast table. If one
has good news the first thing in the
morning, or q good laugh, the chances
are that the rest Of the day will be
pleasant. You have often heard 1t
said about . crabby person, well. he
got up on the wrong side Of the bed
this morning"
Psychologists know that we tend to
respond to q smile with a smile and
to a scowl with a scowl. When you
meet a friend. give him firm hand
clasp and some CHEEKY news or a good
story. He will be pleased to have met
you and you will be pleased with your
self. But II you make your friends
unhappy by telling them 4 sad story
or tale Of hard luck, they are not so
anxious to meet you again.
Happiness and good cheer are
building forces, but the depressing
emotions tear down the body's
strength. Worry and fear have un-
doubtedly killed many people. II you
suffer from fits Of depression or the
habit Of worry. you should do every
thing possible to change the state Of
your mind and cultivate the habit of
cheerfulness. The fashion for long
faces and melancholy air is as out of
date as the burning Of witches and is
just about as sensible.
One who imagineS sickness is very
apt to be sick, and one who imagincs
health has gone q long distance on
the road to recovery. There is q Jap.
anese fable that goes something like
this:
Once there was q shrine greatly
famed for its power to heal the sick.
It was built over the bones of q dead
saint. Whenever sick person came
to the shrine and reached down into
the pit and touched the bones Of this
saint, he became well. Thousands OF
people came every year and some OF
the miracles reported were marvellous.
The priest who conducted the shrine
became very wealthy, but he was
growing old. He had, however, q
young disciple who desired to launch
forth for himself. Upon hearing OF
his disciples wish, the old priest pre-
sented him with donkey and the
young man rode forth into the world
In the course Of time the donkey died
and great idea came to the young
disciple. He built q shrine over the
donkey where people could come and

"BREAklNC HIS WILL"
By ALICE JUDSON PEALE

The headstrong child with fixity
Of purpose and perseverance in carry
ing 1t out Is not the easiest child in
the world to deal with. He does not
lend himself to the we'll oiled routine
Of the home nor does he trim his
sails readily to the winds Of parental
approval.
He is apt to humiliate his father
and mother by public defiance of
their wishes, bringing upon himself
a painful contest which often ends In
violent coercion. Distinctly he is not
show child, but he is generally
worth the extra demands he makes
upon the wisdom and patience of his
parents. It is only the strong willed
people who get anywhere.
The headstrong youngster used to
be considered an afflication to his
elders, and it was believed that not
until they had succeeded In ''break-
ing his will' would the foundations
Of the home be secure and the child
In question saved from a criminal
career.
The child whose will really Is
broken never will amount to much,
for the submissiveness acquired In re-
lation to his parents will, in adult
life. be carried over into his relations
with his employers. colleagues and
business rivals. He never will be able
to assert himself in 4 competitive
world. But for the most part the
effort to break q child's will merely
results In making him 4 belligerent
and bad tempered person.
The disciplining of the strong willed
child requires particular observance
Of those rules which are vital in all
child training. Those who would edu-
cate properly his will to be an asset
instead Of = liability must be at spe-
cial pains to be fair and consistent
to exact obedience only in matters
Of importance. to ignore the trivial
no matter how annoying it may be at
the moment, to consider his inclina-
tions and respect him as an indi-
vidual.

Question: Mrs. Mem. writes: MY
little five-year-old girl Is very ner-
vous and thin. Should send her to
q public school? She has never been
with other children. and my mother
says II she mixed with children at the
public school she would overcome this
nervousness. What do you adviser"

on nervous children, together with q
children's diet which, II followed.

Non-starchy Vegetables
Question: Mrs. L. writes: I'm your
cleansing diet for catarrhal deafness.
what quantity Of the two cooked and
one raw non-starchy vegetables
should be combined with the quarter
of q pound Of lean meat?"
Answer: You may eat as much Of
the non-starchy vegetables Is you de-
sire. You do not have to be too par
ticular with the quantities Of these
foods. but il Is wise to avoid eating .
large amount Of the concentrated
foods.
Inhaling Rock Dust
Question: Jerry b. writes: II am
working in phosphate rock dust and
inhale plenty Of same. Does this
dust hurt the lungs and stomach? Is
twelve hours day too long to work
in this dust? Is there anything you
would suggest to prevent any i'll
effects?"
Answer: It is injurious to the lungs
to breathe rock dust in quantities.
The length Of time that you can work
at this would vary considerably with
the amount Of dust. It is possible that
the wearing Of some type Of muzzlc
filter would be helpful If the dust is
very thick and you are unable to
change your occupation.

EGG MENUS FOR EVERY DAY
IN THE WEEK SUGGESTED

| The wise housekeeper uses eggs
freely, for she can be sure she is
contributing to the family diet not
only needed protein, but iron, cal
cium, and PHOSPHORUS, as we'll as
two important vitamins, A and d.
Doubly wise is she who uses eggs
in so many guises that no one will
tire of them.
Eggs may be served at all meals.
At this season of the year, when
eggs are most abundant, there is no
reason for stinting the family on
egg dishes as the main course, or
on eggs that enrich desserts, cakes,
or sauces. Every egg used adds
definitely to the food value of the
dish. For the sake of variety the
Bureau of Home Economics of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture suggests a number of differ
ent ways in which eggs may be
served throughout the week.
For seven appetizing breakfasts
eggs may be soft cooked, poached
on toast, shirred or baked, scram-
bled, fried, hard-cooked in white
sauce, or served as a fiat or fluffy
Omelet. At lunch, supper, or dinner
there may be curried eggs, baked
eggs and cheese, eggs Benedict, eggs
baked in tomato cups, ham or cheese
omelet, cheese souffie, or hard-cook-
ed egg salad. For dessert there are
fruit whips made with egg whites,
with whole eggs, and custards con-
tanning either whole eggs or yolks
only. Very often a decorative touch
is given by reserving part of the
whites to make floating islands"
or meringues for buildings or pies.
Seven good egg desserts would
be; Apricot whip, baked custard,
floating island, chocolate souffle,
French vanilla or custard ice cream,
Spanish cream, sliced oranges with
soft. custard, custard or lemon mer-
ingue pie. One should also not
forget that all the sponge cakes,
angel food, sunshine cake, and
plain sponge are made with a large
number of eggs and make good des-
serts.
Mayonnaise salad dressing is
started with one or more egg yolks. |
Cooked dressing requires two whole |
eggs or four egg yolks. Holland |
aise sauce, which lifts a number of |
simple dishes out of the common
place, is also made with four egg
yolks for thickening. 1t is espec-
tally good with fish and asparagus,
and is always served with eggs
Benedict.
The secret of successful egg
cookery is slow cooking at moder-
ate, even heat, whether one is hard
eggs preparatory to devil
ing them, making prune whip or a
cheese souffle, or making a soft
,ustard or cooked salad dressing.

CUTTING THE FARM WOODS

The farm woodland owner may be
adding greatly to the value of his
trees by protecting them and by
thinning to give individual trees
sufficient room, but he may not be
getting full value from the woods
unless he practices "selective" cut
ting, says the Forest Service of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Selective cutting removes the large
mature trees that are most profit
able for lumber and leaves the
small immature trees to grow and
be cut later on. One of the chief
advantages of this is that it makes
possible the removal of the greatest
value with the least volume. For
example, in a farm woods having an
average stand of sugar maple trees
ranging in size from to &c inches,
the total value of lumber in a &C.
inch tree is SO times that in a g.
inch tree, though the volume is only
10 times as great. No ironclad rule
can be given regarding the smallest
size of tree to remove, but it is
doubtful if trees less than IL inches
in diameter can be cut profitably
for lumber.
