A Woman’s Workshop

FOR LARGER VISION
At UUs season of Ute year, when the thoughts of Christian people
turn naturally to the consideration of the Church’s, mission, we are once
again brought up sharply to the realization of an alarming state of affairs
which is causing great anxiety to those who have the welfare of the Church
at heart -Every locality has the same picture to offer—-a multitude of
beautiful church buildings and a poverty of worshippers. 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?

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.

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.

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.

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,

Bilious Attacks
Liver Complaint
Biliousness is just another name
for a cloggod or sluggish liver, It
is a very common complaint, but con
be quicldy remedied by stimulating
the flow of bile. Tlus softens tha
accumulated .mass, the poisons are
carried out of the system, and the
liver and bowels are relieved and
toned up.
Milburn’s Laxa-Liver Rills quicken
and enliven the sluggish liter, open
ing up every chunhcl, by causing a
free flow of bile and thus cleansing
the livor of the clogging impurities.
They are small and easy to take.
