faithful Christian shall be divinely re-
warded. The Promise he gives us is
this: "Him that overcometh will ]
make a pillar in the Temple of my
God"
Have you ever tried to visualize
this heavenly pillar?
Pillars are composed of three parts,
the base on which it stands, the shaft
which is the pillar proper, and the cap
ital which adorns the top.
In Gods heavenly Temple which re-
cords the struggles of the Christian
Victors, let us think that each part of
the Temple pillar has significance.
Let US picture the base as a block
of scarlet porphyry, typifying the shed
blood of Jesus Christ which, indeed,
is the basis of the redeemed life.
The shaft, emblematic of the vic
torious life of the overcomer, I would
like to regard as pillar of pearly
white alabaster, suggestive of all the
beauty and purity of sanity maiden
with upturned face, standing in pray
er.
And then let us picture the cap
stone, or capital, of the column. Style
in architecture is classified by the
class of capital atop the column, as
Doris or Corinthian. But I like to
think that the capital of this heavenly
pillar as being a symbol of Trium-
plant Order, being in the shape of a
golden crown, typifying the triumph
of the Christian who remained faith
full unto the end.
Wrote St. James: BLESSED is the
man that endureth temptation, for
when he is tried, he shall receive the
crown of life which the Lord hath
promised to them that love Him."

Modern Methods In
Meat Cookery
ROASTING A LEG OF LAMB

The last few years have seen a
great change in cooking and cooking
utensils. There are those however,
who are not in the least interested or
effected by changes of any kind. They
were taught to cook by perhaps the
grandmother so to this day they spend
unnecessary hours preparing a dish
that, like so many now days, has a
grand short cut.
Meat cookery is a good example
of this and we will speak of lamb in
that it is of excellent quality and is
available all year round and isn't a
heavy meat that one is apt to discard
for the course of the summer.
The old method for roasting a leg
of lamb is to brown it we'll in hot
oven, then reduce the heat, add little
water and haste occasionally, (which
is hot work.J The new method isn't
indirect opposition to this, but new
rules for meat cookery says that the
higher the oven temperature the great
err the shrinkage. Therefore, the
roast goes into hot oven, is scared,
the temperature greatly reduced and
so the meat cooks something like this,
Roast Leg of Lamb: Do not remove
the fell from the leg of lamb (the fell

is the thin papery covering on the
outside of the lamb.) Sprinkle it
with salt and pepper and place it on
a rack in an open roasting pan with
the skin side down and the cut side UP.
If the fat covering is thin, lay strips
of bacon across the top. Do not add
water. Make an incision and insert
roast meat thermometer so that
the bulb reaches the center of the
fleshiest part of the muscle taking
care that it does not touch fat or
bone. Place the roast in hot oven
500 F. and scar for 80 minutes, or less
if bacon has been added. When light
ly Drowned, reduce the temperature
to that of slow oven 800 F. and con-
tinue roasting at the low temperature
until done. The roast will be well
done when the thermometer registers
1872 F. or slightly under done at 175
F. Allow about 80 minutes per pound
for roasting lamb.

The other day, Wills decided he
could take it no longer and moved
out. After a days separation,
however, they decided they couldn't
get On without each other. Hope
the happy ending sticks.

DISEASES OF SOIL
TROUBLE TOBACCO
Yields Being Reduced so Percent in
Some Cases for Lack of Pot
ash and Magnesia

College Station, Raleigh, Aug. A.
Soil-deficiency diseases are showing
up plainly in North Carolina this
year, particularly in tobacco fields
according to G. B. Williams, head of
the department of Agronomy at State
College.
In some cases, he said, yields are
being reduced SO per cent for the
lack CT potash and magnesia.
The pronounced degree of damage
now evident makes this a good time
for farmers to examine their crops in
the field with a view of studying def
cheney diseases and making plans for
preventing them next year, Mr.. Will
liams pointed out.
Where tobacco is suffering from
magnesia, and more soluble magnesia
should be provided in the fertilizer
mixture next year.
Potash hunger" is indicated when
yellow spots appear on the tips of
tobacco leaves and the leaves tend to
curl under at 4the.4tips:s The symp-
tens appear first on the lower leaves.
Mr. Williams said.
In severe cases of potash hunger"
Eshei yellow spots turn brown and
parts of the leaf drop out, so that a
ragged appearance is produced.
The lower leaves first become light
green, then turn almost white be-
tween the chief veins. The affected
leaves fail to carry out their function
in promoting plant growth. In ex-
Mr.. Williams said that when farm
ers are in doubt as to what is affect
ing their plants, they should consult
their county farm agents or send
specimens to the agronomy depart
ment.
The department will diagnose the
trouble and make recommendations
for averting it in the future.
