not poured forth vainly, even though
1t meet no return. Love enriches the
nature, enlarging, purifying, and
elevating It,"
A statement In Proverbs reads, "a
friend loveth at all times" It Is In
daily contact with our fellow men
that we discover constant favorable
occasion to exercise charity-to train
ourselves by practice to love whole
heartedly; for we are redeemed by
the true love sustained and diffused
within our own hearts. Where the
right motive exists and the majority
OF ones acts are honestly sincere,
love avoids referring to past mis-
takes. Love enables us to resist hate
and fear with good-humored courage.
Love maintains its own position of
integrity cheerfully, without censure.
Love Is never In hurry, never too
busy to give friendly word or smile.
Love is unselfish, considerate, having
no time to waste In self-pity. Even
II our situation seems cramped, our
mental horizon Is as wide as we make
1t, and there is always constructive
thinking to keep us active and USE
full. One who loves truly never re-
turns evil for evil, or feels depressed
by another's self-assertion. Armed
with the poise of love, our intercourse
with coworkers, associates, relatives
will be wholesome and remunerative.
Even from human stand
point, love reveals many worthy
traits and characteristics In our
neighbors, for love looks through its
own lens. How much greater prog
ress Is made, then, when we see d.
vine Loves creation, manifesting, ex-
pressing, divine Love! This spiritual
view rises above matter, material
laws, human frailties, beholding
mans normal, rightful heritage Of
health, purity, authority.
We may measure our love for God
by our love for one another. Christ
Jesus said, "By this shall all men
know that We are my disciples, If ye
have love one to another" He also
said, "a new commandment l give
unto you, That We love one another:
as I have loved you" GAS have
loved you" may seem high goal; yet
let no one feel that 1t Is impossible
of ultimate attainment. Let each one
start, right where he Is, to enlarge
the love that eternally lives within
the heart. Love expands with use,
and the smallest exertion toward un-
selfed generosity brings a glow of
healing satisfaction. One who has
thought himself devoid of affection,
callous. hard, cold. will find joy ex-
ceeding that of any previous expert
ence, as he exercises this gracious
quality and trains himself to love.
Love proffered another returns with
increase to bless and prosper. Thus
we may see the reason for obedience
to the Scriptural command, "Le!

Exercising Charity
A VERSE from a cherished old
~ scrapbook runs:

"If God were all-in-all to me,
I'd think good thoughts the while;
And inwardly I'd joyous be,
And outwardly I'd smile!
No thought of sorrow could there be,
Nor aught but what is true
If God were all-in-all to me-
If good were all knew"
There are many earnest Christians
who are not getting from their devo-
ton to God full sense of joy. health,
and peace, such as the above verse
indicates as conditionally possible.
At such times there should be fear
less, honest checking of our motives,
aims, ambitions, in relation to our
understanding Of what God means to
us. In this mental inventory, we may
be forced to recognize and cast out
some narrow theological views,
doubts, educated beliefs, supersti-
tions, in order to gain a clear realiza-
tion of God as ever near, ever loving,
ever watchful of the welfare of His
children, bestowing only good. Paul,
perceiving that some individual effort
must be made, said in his letters to
Timothy, "Flee also youthful lusts:
but follow righteousness, faith, char
ity, peace" and again: Refuse pro-
fame and old wives fables, and exer-
else myself rather unto godliness.
For bodily exercise profteth little:
but goodness is profitable unto all
things"
The godliness which is profitable
unto all things" Is based on Love. In
summing up the qualities to be added
one to another in the Christians life,
Peter mentions diligence, faith, vir-
tue, knowledge, temperance, patience,
godliness, brotherly kindness, char
ity. Our love for God and our exer-
else of brotherly kindness are more
closely related than is commonly adj
mitted. 1t may be that someone feels
that love Is not essential in his daily
affairs. To another, charity may seem
a sign of weakness; and he may fear
that, while he is manifesting love,
one expressing a sterner quality will
deprive him of his rights. Still an
other may say that he possesses a
great deal of love in his heart, but 1t
Is so difficult fer him to express love
that others are seldom aware of his
Utmost feelings.
Mary Baker Eddy asks this ques-
ton miscellaneous Writings, p.
1907: "Know We not that he who ex-
ercises the largest charity, and waits
on God, renews his strength, and is
exalted?" And in the Christian Sci
ence textbook, "Science and Health

Plentiful Pears

IND you know that the pear
helped introduce fork to
the etiquette of eating? Our
early ancestors, as you may know,
ate entirely with hunting knives,
their fingers, and crude spoons.
But in the sixteenth century it
was recorded that King Edward
had "sixty-nine knives and
three little forks for eating
pears" At about that time, also,
a minstrel made song about the
pear in which he called it "the
gentle pear, the pearl of the
summer" So we see that the
pears exquisite flavor was al
ways as highly honored as it is
today.
The Pearl of the Entire Year
Our enjoyment Of the pear Is
not confined to one season. All
the year round canned pears
bring us pearls of the summer
plenty of them-in all their per-
fection-that we may make such
pearls Of dishes as these:
Pear Pastries: Cover oval or
oblong fluted tart tins with pas
try and bake. For the filling,
scald one cup milk and add
three-fourths tablespoon corn
starch, two tablespoons sugar
and, few grains of salt blended
together, Cook until creamy,
stirring constantly. Add one
sIightly-beaten egg. Cook a few
minutes more, and add half a
teaspoon vanilla. Cool. Fill the
tart shells half full of the creamy
filling. Drain canned pears, and
place half a pear in each tart.
Sprinkle with chopped nuts and
pour melted currant jelly over
the pears.
Pear and Pineapple Cup: Cut
the contents of one 8-ounce can
of pears in lengthwise pieces,
and one banana in long slim
pieces. Arrange them like petals
of a flower in cocktail glasses.
Pile the contents of an 8-ounce
can of pineapple tidbits in the
center. Pour over them the COM
bined fruit juices and two table,
spoons lemon juice. Top with

APPLE GROWERS LIT AGAIN.
ST BITTER ROT SOLD NOT

CEASE DURAN w4N-aIt
Although the spray season is about
over, apple growers are warned not
to relax their vigilance against the
destructive bitter-rot disease as much
can be accomplished during the fall
and winter to greatly curtail its de-
velopment next summer, according
to John w. Heuberger, assistant in
plant pathology for the University OF
Maryland Extension Service. He
points out that this is one of the
most dangerous of orchard diseases
and, under favorable conditions, has
been known to destroy an entire
crop of fruit in few days. 1t was
particularly bad during the past sea-
son in a number of Maryland locali-
ties and every precaution should be
taken to prevent it's recurrence next
year.
According to Mr.. Heuberger, the
fungus causing bitter rot lives over
winter in cankers on tree limbs and
in diseased and mummified fruit that
either remain on the trees or fall to
the ground beneath them. Hence,
all disease cankers, infected wood
and mummified fruit should be gath
cred together and burned and pick
ers should be instructed to remove
mummified fruit from the trees as
they pick.
If the fungus-infected fruit or
wood is permitted to remain in the
orchard until spring, it will, with
the advent Of hot, sultry weather.
produce spores which will be carried
to healthy fruit by wind, rain, dew
and insects. Infection is rapid and
spores will soon form on newly in
fected areas. The spores are pro-
duced in concentric, pinkish rings
and cause bitter taste in the fruit.
Apple varieties which chow resis-
lance to the disease are the Baldwin,
Delicious, Rome, Staymen, York.
and Winesap. The Yellow Newton,
Ben Davis, Grimes, Jonathan, North
ern Spy, Northwestern, and Stark
varieties are rather susceptible to
the disease, it is said.

ON THE INCREASE

MARRIAGES ON THE INCREASE
Marriages in Maryland have taken
a decidedly upward turn during the
last year. There was an increase of
over 2.70O licenses in the number
issued during the first half of the
current year as compared to the to-
tai recorded during the correspand-
ing period of 1888. The records OF
the Bureau of Vital Statistics Of the
State Department of Health show
that during the six months ending
June 80, OF the current year, 1902
licenses were issued in the State in
comparison with 1885 during the
corresponding period of 1888.
June, which is usually the peak
month Of every year, had S,222 IL
censes recorded this year as compar-
ed to 2,4s4 during the month Of
weddings and roses in 1888.

State is almost evenly divided be-

DEATH CALLS PAT CORBETT.

The community was shocked and
saddened by the sudden death of Pat
Corbett, who died of heart attack at
8 o'clock Sunday afternoon, February

been suffering with cold the last few
days.
Patrick Henry Corbett was born in
Curtis, Wisconsin, on June 4, 1887.
When he was young man of nineteen
he came West and made his home in
Spokane, Washington. In the spring of
1915 he came to Troy and has made his
home here ever since. On June 7, 1916,
he was united in marriage to Miss Cleo
Kidder, and to this union was born one
daughter, Eunice He has been affiliated
with several business houses and for
several months has been proprietor Of
the Windsor hotel.
In his many years in Troy, Mr.. Cor
bett has made great many friends who
will deeply miss him. His was gener-
Gus, kindly and iovial personality.
Surviving him are his widow and his
daughter of Troy; his mother, Mrs Ed
Fountain; his sister, Mrs. c. R. Nelson,
a brother Robert, all of Duluth Mimi
esota, and brother, George, of Su-
perior, Wis. His mother has been bed
ridden for some time and will be unable
