Many of these congregations would, have long since lost their identity if it were not for the superhuman efforts of a few devoted 'members who unite conscien­ tiously feel called to the support of a failing cause. Viewing all these condWmsT^l^mnetiines must reluctantly conclude that we are more energetic in preserving our own favorite brand of religion (which, after all, conies to us more as a matter of inheritance than conviction) than we are in forwarding the larger work of the Kingdom. The result is that the courts of the Temple are so crowded with the tables of the money­ changers that seekers often never penetrate to the Holy of Holies. Women busy about much serving have no time to ait and listen to the gracious Touch sr..Those of you who heard the lecture at a recent Red Cross meeting will remember the story of the little Nagi children who are taught co­ operation by being given blocks which they could not lift alone, Must we, who acknowledge our responsibility as stewards of the mysteries of God, learn also by the hard way? Must the work be forever retarded by our stupid isolationism, until at last we may he compelled to work together ip support of a burden too heavy for us to bear alone? —The Missus MY PRATER KITCHEN FAT IN WAR I'fl A 1 “My husband had a funny dream last night and chewed the insides out of the pillow.” "Did he fool sick today?” “No, Just a little down in the mouth.” Elsie (aged six)-— "What’s etiqu­ ette, Tommy?” Tommy—- "Etiguette is the noise you don’t make when your eating your soup,” ORDER O Lord, I come to Thee in prayer once more, But pardon if I do not kneel before Thy gracious presence, for my knees are sore With so much walking, in my chair instead I’ll sit at ease and humbly bow my head. I’ve labored in Thy vineyard, Thou dost know; I’ve sold ten tickets to the minstrel show; I’ve called on fifteen strangers in our town, Their contributions to our church put down; I’ve baked a pot of beans for Satur­ day’s spree, An old-time supper it is going to be; I’ve dressed three dolls, too, for our annual fair, And made a cake which we must raffle there. Now, with Thy boundless wisdom so sublime, Thou knowest that these duties all take time. I have no time to fight my spirit’s foes, I have no time to mend my hus­ band’s clothes; My children Toa'm the streets from morn till night. I have no time to teach them to do right; But Thou, O Lord, considering all my cares, Wilt count them righteous, also heed my prayers. Bless the bean supper and the minstrel show, And put it in the hearts of all to go. Induce the visitors to patronize The men who in our program ad­ vertise, Because I’ve chased these merchants till they hid Whene’er they saw me coming.—yes, they did. Increase the contributions to our fail* And bless the people who assemble there; Bless Thou the grab-bag and the gipsy tent, The flower table and the cake that’s sent; May our whist club be to our service blest, The dancing party gayer than the rest. And when Thou hast bestowed these blessings, then We pray that Thou wilt bless our souls.-—Amen. —^Author Unknown (Selected by Lancashire Lass.) * * * * , the flower garden One hundred pounds of scrap fats and oils can be converted into more than six pounds of glycerin, and in turn into 15 pounds of nitro-glycerin. The 15 pounds of nitro-glycerin, used in dynamite for blasting, will make enough dynamite to bring down 1,500 tons of soft coal ox* suf­ ficient iron ore to provide steel to make one hundred 2,000 lb, “block buster” bombs.* A PAINT GARBAGE CANS With the help of paint, your garbage can will outlast Hitler. First wash it well with hot water and a good deodorizing soap and let the can dry thoroughly in the open air, Then use youi* small amounts of paint in odd cans and apply to both inside and out. You might put an extra coat on the out­ side of the top and bottom. If you keep your garbage can on a wooden platform it is less likely to rust or corrode the bottom. Xi X" * * * KETTLE AND PAN NOW for Summer If you are ordering Bray Chicks for early shipment please give your second Choice , . . even, if pos­ sible, your third choice ... on breed, grade, and date of shipping- Bray Hatcheries are deluged with "early delivery” or­ ders, But sometimes extra-heavy hatches or cancellation of orders permit immediate or early shipment, if you have al­ lowed some leeway in your order. Whatever the breed, grade or date, Bray Chicks all have the same skill and care be­ hind them. With huge British and home requirements underpropping the egg .market all the year round, and rationing of other meats turning attention to poultry, it’s both good business and good patriotism to start a batch of Summer chicks. Afer hawks, etc., have taken their toll, and you have done some Fall culling, most laying houses are not filled right up to full working capacicty. Plan now to have some real re­ placements coming along to use that otherwise wasted space. Bray Chicks, noted for “spizzerinktum”, fast growth, early laying, steady laying, make real replacements—the kind you want. The Bray Hatcheries will be operating on into the Summer, turning them out... Plan ahead. Place your order now, for one of these later hatches. The following varieties are re­ commended for sowing in the place where they are to grow: Sweet Alyssum—edging, white. Calendula—for cut flowers, or­ ange. •Candytuft—for edging, pink. Centaurea Cyanus — Cornflowers, hike. Cosmos—for cut flowers, white, pink, red. ESchscholtzia — California Poppy, orange. Nasturtium—damaged Iby early fall frost, yellow, orange. Portulaca—needs lots of sunshine, pink, red, apricot. Poppy—Shirley varieties, pink, red. Sunflower—small flowering types, yellow. Hi Xi ♦ # X" THREAD CARE Thread is becoming very expen­ sive and the present scanty allow­ ance forbids the casual waste to which we must all plead guilty in times past. To avoid knotting and fraying, use the correct length, about eighteen inches, or the dis­ tance from the middle fingei* to the elbow. To prevent thread from unrolling from the spool, always tuck in the notch provided at the outer edge of the spool, if this is broken, make a new one with a razor blade. When using thread on the machine, be sure to leave no more thread at the end of a seam than is necessary to keep threaded for the next start, * # X" # ’< Xi X".
