 Three causes for ChristS with drawal into soliture were outlined by. the speaker. lie said, in part
 PJeSus became bored with life and with the world believe. even as you and I do. There are numerous indications of that In the Gospel. And when He did, He withdrew from the world much as He loved t,'untii He had recovered Ills Faith.
 we might well do the same thing. The disillusion of the modern world hores us: we get tired of the headlong speed of q world whose principal slogan seems to be, Hurry up. We get bored with It's people,

Methods OF Cooking
Rhubarb Described


For an inexpensive breakfast fruit,
rhubarb is recommended and may
be prepared in number of temp
| ting ways, some of which are listed
below, the recipes being those given
the county home Department men,
berS by Miss Florence Glenn, home
demonstration agent, in the better
breakfast project:
First, select the young and color
full stalks. Stalks of the first cut
tingS have better flavor and color
and are also more tender and juicy
than the older ones. Also, as the
rhubarb grows older. the stalks
become more acid. So choose young
rhubarb and wash and trim it.
Then, cut is in pieces about a half
to an inch long.
Some people make rhubarb sauce
by mixing 2 parts of the fruit with
l part of sugar, and cooking very
gently over a low fire until the
liquid forms sirup and the rhubarb
is tender. Add no water
THE exception to the rule of
adding no water is the method of
making thick Sirllp first and then
dropping the rhubarb into it and
cooking until tender, This takes
just a few minutes.
Then you can make rhubarb
sauce in the oven also. Bake it i'll
a covered diSh-a glass baking dish,
if you like to see the attractive pink
sauce through the glass. Butter the
baking dish, cover the bottom with
layer of rhubarb, sprinkle on a
layer of sugar then rhubarb again,
and SO on until the dish is filled.
Sprinkle sugar over the top add
small pieces of butter and the grated
rind of a lemon-or cinnamon, if
you prefer that flavor Bake the dish
slowly until the fruit is tender. Long,
slow baking gives rhubarb a rich,
red color.
Whether to remove the skin i'm
preparing rhubarb or to leave it on
depends on what kind of sauce you
like. If you like a lovely reddish
sauce with each piece of rhubarb
tender, then youll leave the skin
on. The skin gives color and helps
keep the pieces in shape. On the
other hand, if you like a pale green
ish sauce, mushy or mostly liquid
because the rhubarb has cooked to
shreds, then you'll peel the stalks.
