BY DIR. JOHN w. HOLLAND

AS a lad l had a similar expe-
rience with a setting of eggs under
my pet hen. Being without expe-
rience, when l discovered that the
eggs were Matching, | grew eager to
speed up the process. With as deli
cate touch as / could manage, I
opened some of the shells that were
"pipped." | still recall the thrill l
felt in helping the poor little chicks
to hatch more quickly.
Imagine my sorrow, next day,
when l discovered that the chicks
l had helped so much were lying
dead in the bottom of the nest. 1
made it too easy for them.
Struggle for ExcellencY
There is an economic theory at
work in America which aims at
making it easier for people to live.
Up to a certain point, this is good.
Beyond the point which nature has
fixed her principle of struggle for
all excenency," it will make it hard
er for people to live.
How many parents, well inten-
toned enough, wear out their lives
in: trying to make it easy for their
children. 1t is a pathetic sight to
watch the process of making it too
easy for a child. Life simply doesn't
happen to be a holiday affair. No
n can keep his physical or moral
health up to natures standard by
taking it easy" ttti5
The late Maltbie D. Babcock
wrote: f#i.,ts >:#tt *ftfti'.
BE strong! We are not here to play,
To dream, to drift.
We have hard work to do, i:
And loads to lift. .
Shun not the struggle, face it.
IT'S Gods gift. Be strongi"
There is no royal road to knowl-
edge, wisdom or success. 1t is a stony
road, and mostly uphill.
Jesus Promised Poverty
Jesus did not ask men to lives of
ease. He promised them poverty,
hard work, and, in some cases, mar
tyrdom. From that day to this, Gods
call has always been, "Son, go work
today in my vineyard" If people are
to be saved from sin, it can never be
an easy task, or a vacation stunt.
Not long ago I attended worship
in a large church. The architecture
was beautiful and the cushions
felt comfortable. The rather small
congregation was well dressed. The
sanctuary was aforementioned and
pleasant. But there was something.
absent. One short hymn was sung by
the congregation. The music was re-
ligiously classic and paid for. The
sermon was short. The rest of the
time was consumed with ritualiStic
flub-dubs-lovely enough but spirit
less. When it was all over, every
one made for the exists post haste.
l am not criticising the people. They
seemed like good people, but rather
OF the Iceberg variety.
Winston Churchill promised the
British people victory through
blood, sweet and tears" That was
Jesus promise to His followers, and
we must rise TO meet His call to
greater activity.
There is no Easy street m the

More Pickles, Jams
preserves:

Watermelon rind preserves: z
pounds watermelon rind, / table
spoon ground ginger, 2 quarts
water, 4 cups sugar, 2 lemons. The
texture of preserved watermelon
rind is largely determined by the
treatment of the rind before it is
preserved. For a crisp, firm prod
uct, soak rind 2 or 8 hours in lime
water to cover. Prepare lime water
by adding l tablespoon slaked lime
Calcium oxide) to each quart of cold
water. For a product with texture
more like that of preserved pears,
soak rind overnight in salt water e
tablespoons salt to each quart of
water). To make the preserves: Cut
the white part of the rind into pieces
of uniform size and shape. Soak in
lime or salt water. Freshen in 2 or
more changes of cold water. Sprin-
kle ginger over rind. Cover with
water and boil 1R hours. Drain and
drop into cool syrup made with the
sugar, 2 quarts of water and juice
of l lemon. Boil gently l hour, Add
the second lemon, sliced thin. Con-
tinue boiling until rind is tender and
the syrup thick as honey. Qf the
syrup gets too thick before the rind
is tender, add a cup or more of boil
ing water.) Let stand several hours.
Pack into hot jars. Process Is min
utes at simmering.
Sunshine strawberry preserves: 8
cups strawberries, 9 cups sugar.
Juice l lemon. Wash berries and
put into preserving kettle in alter
nate layers with sugar. Add lemon
juice and heat slowly to boiling. Boil
gently 10 minutes. Pour into ster-
ilized jars and set in sun for 3 days.
Seal with paraffin. While in sun a
sheet of glass should be placed over
jars to keep out foreign matter.
Citron melon preserve: 2 pounds
citron melon, 2 pounds sugar, l lem
on. Cut melon into H-inch slices;
crosswise. Trim off the green rind.
Discard seed. Split the slices, keep
ing the inner and outer parts sep
arate. These parts should be pre-
served separately because the outer
portion requires longer cooking.
Weigh. Cover with water and boil
25 to 35 minutes. Drain. Dissolve
" the sugar in A caps water. Add
citron. Boil As minutes. Let stand
overnight. Add remaining sugar and
sliced lemon and boil until citron is
clear. 1t may be necessary to add
extra water to prevent syrup becom-
ing too thick before citron has
cooked, or it may be necessary to re-
move the citron and boil down the
syrup-this depends upon the melon
Hsed. Pack hot citron into hot jars;
seal at once.
