An Interlude

There was an Ephraimite whose
name was Micah, whose mother had
boarded eleven hundred shekels of
silver, worth approximately $3.50.
Micah grew covetous about this mon
ey, and when an opportunity presented
itself he stole it. His mother must
have been a person of impulsive nature
and an ungovernable temper, for,
when she discovered her loss she began
to curse the thief and also to upbraid
her son, whose character she suspect
er, charging him with the larceny of
her treasure. Whether Micah's con-
science troubled him or the chain of
circumstantial evidence was so strong
ly forged as to make an iron-clad
alibi very difficult, Micah finally con-
fessed. His mother then said, BLESSED
be thou of the Lord, my son."
When he had restored the eleven
hundred shekels of silver to his
mother, she spoke thus: 81 had wholly
dedicated the silver unto the Lord
from my hand for my son, to make a
craven image and a molten image:
now therefore l will restore it unto
thee" Yet he restored the money unto
his mother who compromised by TAX
ing two hundred shel5els of the sill
yer, giving it to a founder with in
structions to make a molten image
and a craven image for the house of
Micah.
Now this was in direct violation of
the first and second commandments of
the Decalogue, and the offense was
the more fragrant because both Micah
and his mother seem to have acted in
the full light of knowledge. Like many
in all ages, they had no cloak for their
sins.
Indeed, the man Micah had house
of idols over which he placed one of his
sons, with ephod and teraphim, whom
he consecrated as his priest. He was
not altogether happy with a layman
in the office of priest, and, at the first
opportunity, prevailed upon a young
Levite who sojourned in Micahs town,

The Disciples Cross
By REV. WALTER B. BROCK

l Peter 4:12-13. Rejoice, inasmuch as you
are partakers of Christs sufferings;
that when his glory shall be revealed,
ye may be glad with exceeding joy.
The Apostle Peter wrote this
epistle to comfort and encourage
the Christians who were going
through one of those terrible or
deals by fire, when the Roman
emperors, by ruthless torture and
by wholesale murder, tried to stamp
out the Christian religion.
Disciples who refused to wor-
ship the image of the emperor
were fed to the hungry lions in the
arena or burned alive to illuminate
the pleasure gardens of Nero's
palace.
To them the Apostle wrote: "Be-
loved, think not strange concern
ing the fiery trial which is come
upon you; but rejoice nasmuch as
you are partakers of Christ's suf-
ferings, that when his glory shall
be revealed, ye may be glad with
exceeding JOY"
Not only in the first century, but
in every century, we must learn this
hard lesson-there is a cross for
the disciple as we'll as for the Sa-
viour. We cannot hope to partici-
pate in the joy of his eternal
kingdom unless we become par
takers of his temporal sufferings.
No worthwhile objective in life
can be attained without paying a
price. No great treasure can be
possessed without giving up some
lesser treasure. No victory can be
won without a struggle. No skill
can be acquired without practice.
Nothing worthwhile can be gained
without cost.
The path to the Easter triumph
must needs pass through Geth-
semane, for the disciple as well
as for the Saviour, through loss to
gain, through self-discipiine to self
mastery, through pain to peace that
passeth understanding, through
remuneration of earth's tawdry
trinkets to possession of the un-
searchable riches of Christ.

top instead of its roots, and makes
excellent greens all through the sum-
mer when other greens are scarce
Collards, a member of the cabbage
family which grows a rosette of leaves
on tall stalk, have long been q
standby in parts of the South, where
they can be grown almost the yeal
round. Now the Northern cities are
buying collards from the South.
To cook greens properly-any kind
of greens-says the Bureau of Home
Economics, use very little water and
do not cook them too long. Usually NO
water is needed except that which
clings to the leaves after washing
Cook them only until they are wilted
stirring occasionally, and do not put
a lid on the kettle. They will lose Wit
amin value if cooked too long, anc
they will lose their green color i
cooked under a cover. Serve with q
seasoning of lem n juice or vinegar
salt and pepper, or with salt pork OF
bacon fat.
Of the salad greens, another Italian
favorite is becoming more familiar in
our markets. This is Batavian endive
with its broad curling green leaves
Like all the green leafy vegetables, en-
dive is rich in iron and in vitamins.
With tender young spring onions
raw young carrots sliced or cut length
wise in slender sticks and laid on a
thick bed of garden lettuce or endive,
you have a tempting salad that is
good for "spring fever"-an ailment
which is more than likely due to q
shortage of iron and vitamins in your
winter diet.

When you We're a child, dandelions
were weeds. 1t is true you ate them as
greens, and you still remember how
good they were when they came on
the table sprinkled with crisp bits of
bacon or salt pork. But probably you
had weeded those dandelions out of
the yard, or had gone out with your
basket and cut them from the pasture
or along the roadside. 1t is not surpris-
ing, then, to find that dandelions are
now cultivated for market on big
scale and shipped across the country by
truck and by carload. The dandelion is
now full-fedged article of interstate
commerce. The fact is, of course, that
the American people are eating greens
and salad vegetables of all kinds as
they never used to do.
The gardeners and seedsmen, of
course, are keeping up with the times.
They are improving the stock of the
familiar garden greens and produc-
ing new varieties of kale, mustard,
dandelions and turnip greens. In
stead of depending for turnip greens
upon the tops of turnips grown orig
inally for their roots, market garden
ers now plant, for greens, the "sev-
en-top turnip," which goes chiefly to
tops and has only small roots. Swiss

No. 1852 Equity. In the Circuit Court
for Garrett County
The object of this suit is to procure
a decree by the plaintiff from the de-

rimonii, and the custody and guardi-
anship of the infant child born of said
marriage.
The bill states that the plaintiff
and defendant were married at Acct
dent, Garrett County, Maryland, on
the 18th day of September, in the year
1928, and that they resided at Oak
land, Garrett County, Maryland, and
lived together as man and wife until
the 18th day of February, 1880, at
which time the defendant abandoned
and deserted the plaintiff and declared
his intention to live with her no
longer.
That the conduct of the plaintiff to-
wards the defendant had always been
kind, affectionate and above reproach.
That the said abandonment and de-
sertion of the plaintiff by the defend
ant has continued uninterruptedly for
more than three years, is deliberate
and final, and the separation of the
parties beyond any reasonable expec-
tation of reconciliation.
That your oratrix and the said de-
fendant have not lived or co-habited
together as man and wife since such
abandonment and desertion.

said marriage, viz: Margaret Lou

The Des Moines meeting, it is said,
will consider ways and means for the
nomination of third candidate for
President next year. Many believe
that this leader will be Senator Huey
Long of Louisiana, who is said to have
presidential ambitions. 1t is reported
that Senator Long will try out his
strength in some of the most promis-
ing Southern and progressive West
ern States, and if shunted out of the
Democratic convention will run as a
third party candidate. The plans are
said to have been formulated far
enough to envision the probability
that Senator Long will run first in the
Georgia Democratic primary. Here he
has undertaken a big job. Georgia is
regarded as Roosevelt's second home
State and it should be overf1owing
with sentiment for him. But Governor
Talmage is said to be possible ally
of Long, and it is not forgotten that
under his leadership the New Deal
policies were badly treated by the vot-
ers in the last State election. A good
showing by Long in Georgia might
make him a national factor. On the
other hand, if he were to lose out en-
tirely it might almost eliminate him.
Longs friends are said to be confident
enough however to take a chance.
There are now lot of budding polit-
ical movements worth watching.

NATIONAL AFFAIRS
By FRANK P. LITSCHERT

Proposed conferences for the pur-
pose of organizing new political par
ties or revivifying old ones seem to be
the principal topic of interest among
political writer's and prognosticators
these days. Some time ago the country
was interested in the proposed meet
ing of so-called "iberaW Republicans
in Kansas City for the purpose of CIV
ing the old G. o. P. liberal twist.
Among those prominently mentioned
were William Allen White, Prof.
Glenn Frank and Gov. Alf Landon
of Kansas. Opinion was divided as to
how much good could be done for the
political elephant in this way. Some
leaders said that the Republican or
ganization needed liberalizing while
others maintained that the liberal
ground was so crowded there wasn't
much room left for pasturing another
liberal animal.
The Republican., 1935-04-18

Be that as it may, it is of interest
to note that there is to be another Re-
publican conference real soon. This
one is to be held, not in the corn belt,
but in the so-called Hub of culture in
the United States-Boston. The meet
ing, however, which is scheduled on
April 30, is not to propose to main
tain a rock-bound conservative party
such as New Englanders are popularity
supposed to cherish, but a sound, con-
structive, forward looking organiza-
ton in which both East and West may
unite. The purpose, therefore, is to
bury the hatchet, not in the skull of
some political opponent, but in the
ground.
The Republican., 1935-04-18

In view of all this, it is interesting
to note that for keynote speaker of
the New England harmony meeting
there has been selected, not descend
ant of the accomplished Eastern Henry
Cabot Lodge, but Theodore Christian
son, former governor of the progress
sive State of Minnesota, who calls for
constructive party program and de-
clares that both factions of the Re-
publican party must yield something
for the common good. Quoted by Oil
yer Mckee, Jr., of the Boston Tran
script, Governor Christianson said:
81 believe it is quite possible for East
ern and Western Republicans to unite
on a constructive program, but to do
this each section must be willing to
yield to the other. 1t is too early as
yet to discuss presidential candidates.
The party has number of men
qualified to be President provided we
go to the people with constructive
and intelligent program"
The Republican., 1935-04-18

1t will be interesting to compare
this meeting with the one scheduled
for Kansas City as to size, leadership
and enthusiasm. 1t will also be inter-
esting to note what, if any, effect it
may have on the deliberations at Kan
sas City.

ODAY
NEAR DEATH

CHICAGO. Feb. %. The eyes
that strained through the fast ga
thering twilight at the Polo
grounds on September %, 1908 and
detected the famed "boner" OF
Fred Merkle are blinking their last
at hospital walls.
Hank O'Day is precariously Ill.
The famous old National league
umpire has been in the Presby-
terian hospital three weeks His
physician, DR.. WILDER Post. told
the United Press that O'Day, past
rs. is in a critical condition.
He lives in a haze of memory,
replaying famous baseball mo-
ments. One of them is that day
when his ruling was responsible,
virtually alone, for giving the
Chicago Cubs a National league
pennant and a world champion
ship.
The New York Giants were play
ing the Cubs at the Polo grounds
with the pennant at stake. O'Day
was behind the plate. The Giants
came to bat in the last of the
ninth with the score tied.
With two out, Mccormick on
third and Merkle on first, Bridwell
singled and Mccormick crossed
the plate. The crowd streamed to
the field, thinking the game won,
but Johnny Evers, Cub second
baseman, got the ball and step
ped on second base O'Day had
watched Merkle dash for the club
house without touching second and
allowed Evers' claim that Merkle
was forced out. Thus McC0mick's
run was nullified and the side re-
tired.
1t was impossible to resume play
because of the crowd on the field.
In a playoff after the season the
Cubs won, Al, and then captured
the world title by defeating De-
troit.
