A Sermon for Today
Light in Dark Places.
By REV. JOHN R. GUM.

eve have not followed cunningly de-
vised fables. We have more sure
word of prophecy; whereunto We do
well that We take heed, as unto
light that shineth in dark place. =
II Peter, i.16-19.
What a dark place the world is-dark
with mystery and misery.
Mystery! Everywhere the world con-
fronts us with mystery. We are COM
nassed with it. The sky is heavy with
It. The heart is oppressed with 1t.
The poet refers to this when he writes;
$50 runs nv dreams: but what am /!
An infant crying in the night:
An infant crying for the light.
And with no language but cry.
Misery! How great is the worlds
misery-with all its want and woes,
all its Misunderstanding, all the tears II
is shedding, all the burdens 1t Is pear
ing, all the sorrows it is enduring an
its chaos, all its discomfort, all It's
failure, all its darkness! Dryden mao
this in mind when he wrote, me
gods from heaven survey the fatal
Strife. and mourn the miserieS OF
human life"
Mystery and misery-these make the
world indeed "a dark place" Where
shall we turn for light? THY WORD
is a lamp unto my feet, and light
unto my path" o blessed BOOK OF
Light How many millions of feet 1T
has lighted along life'S mysterious ana
wearisome pathway. What a light it
sheds on the mystery of human sin,
of human pain, of human 1nequahtles,
of human death, and all those great
and pressing perplexities that make eX-
istence a puzzle. And there are the
problems of practical, everyday life,
ever present to weary and haraSs the
brain of man. What light this bless
ed book pours upon these problems
Who can tell of the multitudes 1t has
comforted in their miseries and sor-
rows? Who can tell of the suffering
it has alleviated. the heartaches it has
soothed, the trials it has softened, the
burdens it has lightened, the fears it
has banished, the tears 1t has dried
away, the clouds 1t has turned into
sunshine?
To world cropping in a bewilder-
ment of mystery and misery, the Bible
comes as a sure word" relief and
hope-a Light in q dark place.

You win think this an unfair ar
rangement and that acted that way
because was young. But I assure you
that that is the way business is done.
Given bad times, a lot OF girls lose
their jobs.
But it never happens that every one
loses her job Some are always Kept
And have noticed over and over again,
in office after Office, that the ones who
are kept are the ones the boss likes as
human beings. OF course, there are
some human fish who have no feelings,
but they have likes; they like the same
kind of cold machines that they are

There's some sort of message, silent
and of the spirit that runs between
personalities. 1t colors every bit OF life.

Unconsciously you say to yourself OF

Everyday Psychology
~ DIR. JESSE w. sPRowLs.
On Being Different.

Modern living has somehow created
the impression that it pays to be
different" There may be something

cult seems to be founded on false
premises. We need to go back to
ancient history to get our bearings.

plains. The now extinct dinosaur
had made himself so different that
he captured the imagination of his
contemporaries, and ruled them to
the point of death
He kept on being different. He
took on so much poundage that he
finally found the going difficult He
lost the ability to attend to business,
because he pondered too much on
the art of being different. He ceased
to notice his offspring and lost all
emotion for his kin.
You find his skeleton now in
museums. Each of these huge skel-
etons tells the story of trying to take
on more variation than nature can
endure.
There is a connection between biology
and psychology. And there's a lesson
Don't wander too far from what is
accepted as typical. Nature is care
full Of the type, careless with the
individual.
There are those who hold that this
whole question Of variation runs in
cycles, 1t is said to apply to individual
persons, economic depressions, the rise
and fall of nations, earthquakes, and
the commissions in planetary space. But

A decided tendency toward dainty

as a sharp reaction from the cold
severity of ultramodernistic vogue. In

hard unmodulated lines, and a certain
effect of uncouthness swinging far away

The unusual is stressed but 1t conforms

In the reactionary decorative vogue,
daintiness is the keynote. 1t sounds
clearly in bedroom furnishings. Dress

silks and laces that hang in folds or
frtlls. The word dressing table" is apt,
for it is so dressed up itself that 1t
challenges whoever sits before it, to vie
in beauty If possible. Beds are spread
with coverlets of costly laces with
glimpses of shimmering silk beneath.
Hangings are edged with little rutfies.
Everything, in short, suggests dainti-

FOOD PROBLEMS
Frosting Makes Good Cake.
By SALLY MONROE.

There are many ways of frosting
cakes, but it is worth while mastering
the making of some of the more diff
cult frostingS.. One of the easy ways
is to mix eonfectioners' sugar with
cream, milk or water, add little
f1avoring, and, if you wish to, a little
coloring cranberry juice makes lovely
pink-then spread this frosting rather
thin on the cake. 1t hardens quickly,
and it is not one of the creamy FROST
ingS, naturally.
Whipped white Of egg, stiffened
thickly with powdered or confectioners'
sugar, favored properly, is another easy
frosting, and delicious one. You can
add to this little melted chocolate to
make good, easy chocolate frosting.
A good coconut froSting is made by
beating the white Of an egg light, add
ing gradually cup of powdered sugar
and then two tablespoonfulS of lemon
Juice and a cup of grated or desSicated
coconut This may be used for filling,
too, although 1t will dry much more
quickly than a cooked filling. 1t is all
right to have the frosting Of a cake
hard and dry, but dry filling Is not
very good.
This is a gelatin frosting that many
cooks think the simplest kind to make.
Soak a teaspoonful Of gelatin for hall
an hour in a tablespoonful of cold
water. then dissolve 1t in two table
spoonfuls of boiling water. Add a cup
full of powdered sugar and the desired
fiavoring and stir until smooth.
A good chocolate frosting that may
also be used for filling is made by
melting in a double boiler two shaved
squares of chocolate and cupful of
sugar. Then add quarter of cupful
of milk, a pinch Of salt and table
spoonful of butter Boil carefully, STIR
ring frequently until a bit of the mix
ture dropped in cold water forms soft
hall. Then remove from the fire, cool,
and add q little vanilla or orange
extract.
some cooks make chocolate frosting

fly textile draperies used to throw over

They may be slightly crumpled if such

lace, embroideries and silks used in the
making Of shades.
In speaking of this noticeable dainty
note, it must be borne in mind that 1t
is reactionary. 1t forms a different
style of decoration from the modernistic.
The two are compatible unless the
modernistic has passed through the
notifications before mentioned. The
two styles are separate for decorators to
choose between, whether experts or
home decorators. If the dainty is
selected it has to be developed with
restraint or it becomes tawdry, just as
the modernistic has to be handled with
reserve lest 1t become too coldly for
bidding for home comfort.
