MANY a bride approaches her
first days in the kitchen with
some misgivings but the science
of cooking is as definite and OBJ
yious as two plus two.
Undoubtedly, there is "knack"
for various branches of cookery,
but success is not a matter of
luck.
II you think OF a recipe as
nothing more nor less than a
formula" you Will understand
the necessity for accuracy in
measuring, precision in method
of procedure and careful attention
to detail. And remember that
those cooks OF long standing who
say they never measure q thing
DO MEASURE. Repetition has
taught their eyes and hands to
gauge the quantity with compare
tive accuracy.
Hints for Cooking Fruits

iished rules for the cooking oi

overlook them and serve them as
soon as they are done. Cook in
actively boiling water and add
salt when they are half-cooked.
Since most of the succulent sum-

of 10 minutes If the "half-done'

The Church
NOT A DICTATOR BUT A
Life Purifier

The Church is here primarily for the dis
tinct purpose of purifying Life at its source,
viz, the human soul. Attempts to make life
purer and sWeeter any other way have not
IN only failed, but have given the impression
that the Church seeks to be moral Dlcta-
tor The Church is related to the human life
system like the lungs are to the bodily cir
culation SYSTEM Polluted and worn out
humanity, driven by the unceasing heart
beats of daily living is forced to find con-
tact with purifying refreshment The Church
if it keeps itself open to the Divine breath
of Life, is the God-given place where such
purifying refreshment may be found by the
weary human soul. Sincere seekers after
Spiritual, mental and physical refreshment,
will find in the Church what he DESIRES The
Church, like its Founder, is here to help the
sin-sick 1t is not here SO much as a moral
policeman as it is here as guide-post on the
highway of Life. 1t is a recruiting agency
to the Higher Life and not SO much Draft
Board compelling unwilling ones to serve it.
1t is a General Spiritual Hospital wide open
to wounded hearts and respondent lives, Of
fering the best healing and curative devices
the love of God can provide The Church is
a servant of Christian Ambassador, repre-
senting Him on earth in a physical way
Jesus came not to condemn the world, but to
save it, and to this end he willingly gave His
life in unselfish love to humanity. This is
also the mission of the Church to give itself
in love for humanity's sake and to faith
- fully warn those who are headed for physi-
cal and spiritual destruction. This commun-
ity is happier because many of it's citizens
Ahabitually refresh themselves at the houses
of Christian worship This then is the invi-
tation of the Church to you who reads:
Come Come just as you are-Come to
Church. Let him that is athirst come. And
whosoeyer will let him take the water of Life
freely

INFLAMMATION.

One of the results of the depression,
observers say, is a new development
of that phase of culture which Is known
as self-education. Thousands of young
men and women, lacking means to
purchase educational advantages in the
usual way and from the usual inSti-
tutions, are trying to teach themselves
and, to a certain degree, to teach each
other. The public libraries swarm with
self directed seekers of knowledge;
people stand in line for an opportunity
to occupy readers desk In the IL
brary of Congress- public lectures,
offered gratis. are crowded to the doors
Government departments and bureaus
are besieged for free literature on all
sorts of subjects; the newspapers are
called upon for information on every
conceivable theme; the quest for the
fundamentals of learning has become,
to a degree never approximated before,
passion in the heart of multitudes.
Professional pedagogues, naturally
are disturbed by the circumstance. For
generations the universities and col
leges have been endeavoring to perfect
the processes Of education to the end
that their graduates might be perfectly
equipped to function effectively in the
fields of their choice. They have labored
to make education an exact science
They have desired that a man or
woman deserving to be considered an
educated person should be academically

The Oxford Movement.

During the European war scare few
weeks ago, English university students
identified themselves in large numbers
with movement which had its in
ception at oxford, and took its name
, therefrom, and which pledged its ad-
herentS never again to fight for their
country. On its face. 1t went further
than the familiar conscientious OBJ
jector" cult or even sterotyped paeifiss
hostility to so-called milita.ism.
There are sigr. chat the oxford
movement" has now spread to this
country and some of its manifestations
are already the object Of official at
tention. The Rhode Island House OF
Representatives on March 80 ordered a
committee Of six members to inyesti-
gate the activities of the Brown
Daily Herald, undergraduate publica-
ton Of Brown University-Chief JUS

newspaper is accused of seeking tG

THE VALUE OF PRAYER
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN, d. D, L. D.,
Bishop Of Washington.

prayer and their supplication in Heaven,
thy dwelling place, and maintain their
cause"
The dedication of the temple and the
prayer Of Solomon are strikingly sug-
gestive of the essential value which re-
ligion holds in the life of the people.
The expression of religious devotion Is
both natural and normal to men the
world over With many Of us the re-
ligious habit and its expression are
rendered superficial and unreal because
Of our tendency to make them remote
from the common things Of our every
day life and experience. Prayer unre-
lated to the more intimate and personal
things of our life becomes unreal in its
character and impotent in its power
Real religion and its forms OF expression
must occupy q place within the sphere
Of our daily living; to be stimulating
and helpful to us it must be natural
and normal The apostle declared: Il
will pray with the heart and will pray
with the understanding also"
One Of the finest illustrations OF nat
ural prayer that We have ever heard
was related several years ago concern
ing one Of the greatest living authors
a man whose life and writings have
made him one of the foremost figures OF
our time. He was stricken with pneu-
monia in hotel in New York and fol
several days remained unconscious, sunk
in a deep coma. One evening, after
long days of unconsciousness, the nurse
attending him thought she saw his lips
move, and fastening to his bed, she
bent her head to hear his request TIC
her amazement and embarrassment, she
heard him utter the children's prayer
Now lay me down to sleep,
pray the Lord my soul to keep;
II should die before wake,
pray the Lord my soul to take"
In her confusion she withdrew hastily
from the bed, but her movement aroused
the long silent man. Turning to him
she said: Il sincerely beg your pardon
for intruding upon the privacy of youl
devotions." Whereupon, for the first
time in many days, he said audibly
You needn't apologize for I was only
talking to my Father" 1t was a defini-
ton Of prayer worthy Of the greatnes.
Of the man who uttered 1t.
Is 1t any wonder that, with such 9
conception. men like Gladstone anc
Lincoln went to their knees to pour
out before God the deeper yearnings
anxieties and aspirations Of their inmost
hearts? Tennyson was right: More
things are wrought by prayer than thi.

campaign on the university campus is

campaign on the university campus Is
Communist-inspired plot.
The editors Of the campus paper
| Maxwell G. Hoberman Of Toms River
N. j., and Harold Seidman Of Brooklyn
announce that 800 Brown students have
already answered the plea not to shoul-
| der arms unless American continental
territory has felt the tread of invad-
ing feet. The editors also allege that
three other college journals, the Colum-
bia Spectator, the Daily Princetonian
and the Bucknellian at Bucknell Uni
versity, have joined in the campaign.
In reporting the situation to the United
States District Attorney at Providence,
Mr.. Needham urged grand jury action
against the Brown Daily Herald, hold
ing that the drive, being of Communist
origin, constitutes disloyalty and per
haps treason" to the United States.
The movement against military
training in American schools, colleges
and universities Is not new, and is in
more or less constant progress. A cru
sade to pledge college men not to take
up arms except under certain condi-
tions denotes a new phase, as the cox
ford movement" itself does. Radical
ism in various guiSes Is no novelty on
university campuses. Sometimes it
takes the relatively mild form of So
cialism of the Norman Thomas brand;
often it is "parlor bolshevism." and
now and then = Is outright, militant
Communism.
Antipathy X "militarism" in any
form is a common manifestation Of all
these different isms. It, of course, dis
torts national defense into "militar-
ism" In so far as the "Oxford move
ment," or anything resembling it, seeks
to undermine in American youth the
spirit Of obligation to serve the Re-
public in the hour of need, 1t deserves
to be opposed and suppressed. The
chances are that at Brown or any
where else anti-patriotism raises its
head the movement" can safely be
left for the proper attention to the
larger number Of college men who hold
less spineless views of their duty to
their country.

Hear thou in Heaven their prayer
and their supplication and maintain
their cause"
From the earliest known periods Of
history down to the latest hour religion
and devotion have been conspicuously
evident in the life of mankind. At
times the yearningS Of man for the
higher and the spiritual have taken on
forms that were crude and repellent,
but, nevertheless, uniformed and unin-
telligent as they may have been. they
have served to bring q satisfaction and
a peace that nothing else could give.
The first act in the reign of King
Solomon was the extensive undertaking
of building vast house of prayer and
praise in his capital city. 1t had been
told his father David that this work
was to be reserved for his son, and the
incidents connected with the building
of this great temple. as recorded In the
First Book of Kings, in the sixth and
seventh chapters, are suggestive of the
care and precision with which its every
detail was carried out.
In the eighth chapter Of this same
book. the story of the dedication Of the
temple Is related. when it Is said that
Solomon assembled all the heads of
the tribes and chief of the fathers of
the Children of Israel" in Jerusalem
and a service worthy of the occasion
was rendered. In this same chapter is
contained one of the most beautiful
prayers in the entire Bible. 1t was Of
fered by the king himself in behalf OF
his people and is full of a tender solici-
tude worthy of the occasion.
The whole thought expressed IN his
prayer Is suggestive Of the Importance
of the temple as a home center for the
devotions of the people Recognizing
the incapacity of any building to ex-
press the glory and honor of God, the
king prays: will God. indeed. dwell
on the earth? Behold, the Heaven and
Heaven of Heavens cannot contain
Thee, how much less this house have
builded. Yet have Thou respect unto
the prayer Of Thy servant and to his
supplication; that Thine eyes may be
opened toward this house night and
day" The king then petitions that the
temple may be to his people way OF
closer access to the heart Of the Eternal
Father Whether they sin, whether
they suffer, whether they become out
casts among strange people, If their
hearts be turned toward this center of
their devotion, If they bethink them
selves of this house of their religious
faith, he prays, then hear thou their

An Army of Tree Planters.

President Roosevelt having signed the
bill passed at his suggestion for the
emergency employment Of quarter Of
million of now idle men in nation
al reforestation project, preparations
are getting under way to put it into
effect quickly. The details Of the plan
have not, been announced, II indeed
they have been fully developed. 1t is
will be on the basis OF State quotas, the
Department of Labor being in charge
of the enrolment in cooperation with
welfare organizations, supplemented by
Army recruiting stations. Those chosen
for this service will be transported by
Army trucks to the national forest re-
serves. The actual work will be under
the direction of the chief forester. The
workers will live in tents in camps Of
about one hundred, subsistence being
supplied by the Government. The bill
as submitted to Congress by the Pres
ident fixes the rate of pay at one dollar
a day, but as it was passed it authorized
the President to decide the rate Of pay
as well as the term Of the enlistment
Of the temporary foresters.
This employment emergency measure
is not to be confused with the Presi-
dents plan for the development Of the
Tennessee Valley project, which he
outlined before he assumed Office. That
plan involves a co-ordinated program
of reforestation, including the aban-
donment of marginal lands now under
improbable cultivation and navigation
and power improvements centering on
Muscle Shoals. This is an extensive
undertaking, involving a broad, con-
structive engineering scheme requiring
more time than has thus far been per-
mitted for its development. 1t is pos
sible that some part Of the work Of re-
forestation about to be begun under
the emergency employment act will be
performed within the general area of
the Tennessee project.
The immediate purpose Of the Or
ganization of the Civilian conservation
corps" under the act just approved is
to provide sustenance for a fraction Of
the now large army Of unemployed.
The quarter million, il that number is
enrolled, will be withdrawn from the
labor market. thus lessening competi-
ton for available jobs. The low rate
of pay proposed cannot be regarded as
setting e standard of wages in any
sense. On the contrary, If the full
number now tentatively assigned to re-
| forestation duty is enlisted the effect
is likely to be helpful rather than
harmful to the wage rates in general.
| This is an interesting experiment for
the success of which as an emergency
measure of relief all will hope. There
must be some measure of benefit in the
planting Of millions Of trees and there
will assuredly be guaranty Of sub
sistence to quarter of million men
for several months. Those two factors
alone mark the enterprise as worthy,
even though it is only a partial relief
of the present conditions.
