THE FOUNTAIN IN THE WILDER
NESS
Psalm 107:35: He turneth the dry
ground into water springs.
By REV. WALTER B. BROCK

Psalm 107:35: He turneth the dry
ground into water springs.
This is one of the miracles of grace,
says DR.. Jowett. Our Heavenly Father
has the power to transmit a barren,
bitter experience into a sweet foun-
tain of blessings. We pass into ap-
parently waste places, but if we have
the vision Of faith we find secret
springs of vitality and joy.
Professor Mail has a lecture on
"The Botany of a Railway Station"
He found something graceful and ex-
quisite in the midst of its SCOT and
CRIME. The seeing eye can always
find beauty where others see moth
ing but ugliness. The faithful heart
finds hidden treasures where others
see nothing but poverty and destitu-
ton.
Let US, therefore, not fear when the
path of duty turns into the wilder
ness. The Lord has strange mama for
the children of disappointment and He
makes water to "gush forth from the
rock" The path of duty He Himself
has trod before US; and He is travel
ing it again, our unseen companion,
our guiding light in darkness, our
strengthened in hours of weakness,
our encourager in the time of peril.

MILK BEVERAGES

Milk is one of the most important
foods. It excels almost all others in
the variety and quality of materials
that it furnishes the body, and is
suitable for persons of all ages. Milk
is one of the easiest of all foods to
digest for the normal healthy person
and for many invalids as well. Skim
milk, although lacking in fat, contains
practically all the protein, sugar and
mineral matter Of the whole milk and
is especially useful in cooking or COM
bining with other foods. Condensed,
evaporated and dried milk may often
be used in place of fresh milk when
the latter is not available. For feed
ing children, these preparations may
not, however, entirely take the place
of fresh milk, and should be supple
mented by fruits and vegetables. The
fat in cream and butter is very thor
oughly and easily digested and carries
with it relatively large amounts of
vitamin A. Soups, beverages and des-
serts made chiefly of milk are appe-
tizing ways of serving it, especially
for persons who do not like to drink
plain milk.
Egg Milk Shake-One egg, l C..
milk, vanilla or nutmeg. Beat egg,
add milk and flavor, chill and serve.
Chocolate Egg Milk Shake-One
egg, T. chocolate syrup, 1 c. milk.
Beat egg, add milk and syrup, shake
thoroughly and serve.
Lemon Egg Nog-One egg, 1 T.
sugar, T. lemon juice. Beat yolk of
egg until thick and lemon colored.
Beat white of egg until stiff. Add
sugar gradually to the beaten yolk,
add egg white and lemon juice. Serve
ice cold.
Cafe au Lait-Make IL cupfuls of
strong coffee, using 5 tablespoons of
coffee to 112 cupfuls of water. Heat
5 cupfuls of milk and pour coffee into
this. Serve for breakfast.
Lemon Whey-One c. hot milk, 2 T.
lemon juice, T. sugar. Heat milk in
a double boiler. Add the lemon juice.
Cook without stirring until the whey
separates. Strain through cheesecloth
and add the sugar. Serve hot or cold.
Garnish with small pieces of slice of
lemon.

CHURCH HYMNALS
DEAR TO HEARTS
OF WORSHIPERS

In every religious system, the sing
ing Of songs and hymns is an impor-
tant part of the ritual. Some of the
finest poetry Of the ages has gone in
to the hymnals of the Christian
churches, and skilled musicians have
contributed the best of their art to
provide suitable tunes.
Naturally, the hymnals have been
changed, as the years went on. just
as have other forms and ceremonies.
The change in hymnology, it must
be confessed, has not always been
for the best.
The president of the Hymn Lovers
Society of America protests that
most Of the hymns sung today are
atrocious. His society, he says, will
attempt to raise the standard in all
denominations.
The fact that a hymn is old does
not, Of course, initiate against it.
Nor does the fact that it is a rel
atively new production argue that it
is unfit. There are old hymns that
will live forever, and there are new
ones that have tremendous appeal to
all that is to be regarded as uplift-
ing, worshipful and devotional.
Such hymns as "Rock of Ages"
"Jesus Lover Of My Soul" Nearer,
My God to Thee" Coronation"
"Blest Be the Tie That Binds" and
similar ones of Toplady, the Wesleys,
Watts, Newton and Montgomery, are
sung today as they were sung many
generations ago, and, 1t is to be
hoped, will be sung many generations
hence.
Along with them are songs, regard
ed by the younger folks, perhaps, as
old, but, by comparison, relatively
new, and these lack nothing the older
hymns possess. Among them Is Wash
ington Giadden's hymn, "Oh, Master,
Let Me Walk With Thee" hymn
that breathes resignation, humility,
steadfastness Of purpose and rare
devotion.
The aim and purpose of the Hymn
Lovers society are praiseworthy.
One hopes, however, that there will
be no wholesale deletion Of the old
and popular hymns to make room for
modern ones, just on the score that
the old hymns are old and that the
new ones are new.-Ohio State Jour-
nal.

CHAPTER II

Prudence stopped settling her pos
sessions the next day at noon long
enough to inspect the outside Of her
inheritance Her tour Of inspection
ended at the long weather-stained
barn.
With a frenzied "cut-cut-cut-cadaa-
kut!" black hen flew down from the
topmost loft. Prudence watched her
switch and cackle and flap through
the open doorway, before her eyes
returned to the spot from which she
had descended. Had she been stealing
a nest? Could she find 1t? What
fun!
She tugged light ladder into place,
and with excited agility mounted. Past
the first NOW. Up to the highest, al
most touching the roof. That black
hen hadn't been sitting up here to see
the soldiers 60 by, she must have left
a nest. She touched warm feathers.
A sharp peck from a yellow beak
dampened her lashes but steeled her
determination. She shut her eyes
tight and grabbed. She flung the
squawking fowl to an adjacent mound
Of hay where it made the rafters ring
with its outraged cackle.
Prudence sat back on her heels and
counted. Eight eggs!
Isl! Oh, SIP
The CHEEKY call came from below.
A mans voice. Not the Voice In the
Fog. That had appeared in person
early this morning. Who could 1t be?
Prudence cautiously placed the eggs
in her white skirt, gathered up the
front of 1t, and leaned too far over.
The hay slid. Struggling to retard
her progress, she went with it, down.
down into the arms of man.
boy! That was narrow squeak !"
Prudence had closed her lids tight
when she felt herself going. She
opened them wide, looked up into the
deepest bluest eyes she ever had seen.
Her glance travelled on to light hair
which had an engaging kink at the
temple, then back to the face. It's
expression sent a ripple along her
nerves. Who was he? The muscles
Of his jaws were set, his arms still
gripped her.
Seems idiotic to say just Thank
you when you really" Her smile was
tremulous, her voice shaken. She
shivered.
'Don't think about 1t. I was the
man for the moment, all right. What
possessed you to lean over that hay
mow?'
Prudence freed herself and stepped
back. She resented the dictatorial
question.
"Don't lose your temper. That's my
usual one-two-three-go! method Of de-
scending from haymows. Rather orig
inal-if you get what / mean" Now
that his color had returned, the curve
of his sensitive mouth set her on the
defensive. 1t was so darn boyish for
a man his age; he must be about
thirty.
"Okay with me. Every move a pic
ture. But is this method of transport
Ing eggs also original with your" He
glanced at heR white skirt which she
still gripped with one hand. From
the side a stream Of egg yolks was
dripping.

skirt to his perfectly tailored gray
