How Would You' Like Dessert For
Your First Course?
Many families in England have their
dessert first, in fact, "Those .people
who eat Yorkshire pudding with meat
and potatoes are all wrong. We eat
it always at the beginning of our
ureal," said the Yorkshire lady from
England -with nature's real complexion
of peaches and cream.
Then by a strange coincidence ad-
vice comes from Baltimore with the
same instructions. "How would you
like your apple pie smothered in ice
cream first and then finish with beef-
steak smothered in onions?"
. In Mina, too, the people start a
meal with dessert. Then after the
sweets have taken the edge off the ap-
petite as much meat and vegetables
2nay be eaten as desired.
The Rev. W. A. Crawford of Frost
Emmorton, Md Rector of St. Mary's
church, says:
"I am persuaded that this Chinese
custom was adopted centuries ago as
a food conservation measure, for fami-
lies are common and people run into
millions in small areas. These Chinese
customs are more rational and less
animal than ours, and it is also more
healthful, for when one ends a meal
with sweets and acid reaction occurs
In the mouth which is bad for the
teeth and system generally."
Twilight Hour Story
Chicks and Other Little Friends
Fluffy was a funny puss that day up
In the attic, wasn't she? She just sat
on the floor and wouldn't do anything
but sit and pretend she was sleeping.
"Can't you guess, Billy boy, what
that little scratching noise was?"
"No, I can't guess. Do you know?"
said Billy, giving up guessing.
"Yes, I know," said Mamilla Lady.
"Fluffy had her kittens and has hid-
den them away. I fixed up a nice box
for her to have them in, but, as I told
you, she was afraid Rover would come
and poke his nose in the box some
time when the was snooping around
and she just wouldn't have that, so
thought she'd hide them where Rover
couldn't come."
This was wonderful news to Billy
to know Fluffy had kittens, and he
I can hardly wait till we lied them,"
TIzen he got quite excited, and get-
ting down on the floor close to puss,
he coaxed, "Fluffy, where are they?
Oh, do tell us, please, Fluffy,"
But Fluffy just sat there and purred
and put her paws under her body more
comfortably and wouldn't tell a thing.
They hunted and hunted but couldn't
find them. If they went down stairs
and listened sometimes they heard a
little scratching noise. Oh, a very tit-
tle noise, but that was all.
"Well Billy, I believe fluffy has her
kittens away underneath the floor.
However did she get there? She must
have gone away back in the attic
where there is no floor and then walk-
ed along underneath between the floor
and the downstairs ceiling util she got
to the chimney. She chose a nice
warm spot, didn't she? But how are.
we going to get them out is the ques-
tion," said Mamma Lady, thoughtfully
and quite puzzled. "If Daddy were
here he'd soon get them out by tak-
ing up the floor, but he won't be back
for three weeks. If we should leave
them there all that time they would
be so shy we couldn't get near them.
We want them tame and cute, don't
we?" -
"I should say we do," he sighed.
"What can we do, Mamma? We must
think up a way." Billy was feeling
pretty disappointed. "Why did she go
and put them away in there?"
"Well, you see, Rover is pretty big
looking to Fluffy, and sometimes a lit-
tle rough. I guess she remembered
how he used to run atter her when
she was just little. So now she
thought he might hurt her babies."
They walked slowly back to the at-
tic door leading downstairs and when
they looked for Fluffy she wasn't
there.
Mamma Lady laughed, You see, dear,
Fluffy went to her kittens when we
weren't looking. She seems to want
to tease us, doesn't she? Now that
she is with them, perhaps if we go
back we can hear them when. she
starts washing them all over like
Topsy used to do with hers out in the
barn. They are always so glad to see
her they begin to meow, which means,
'Hello, Mamma, I'm glad you are
back'."

where they. though the kittens might
be, and put their ears to the .floor and

A World Language
Cairo Sphinx: One of the anomal-
ies of Egypt is the fact that Egyp-
taius take more time and trouble to
learn English than any other fore-
ign language, and yet fail to insist
on its full use as a secondary langu-
age. English is the administrative
language of five hundred million --
one-third the world's population. It
is the language of the sea and of
commerce, is taught in practically
all the secondary schools in most
civilized countries, and is the langu-
age in which 65 per cent. of foreign
businesses are conducted. Nearly
the whole world's literature is in
English, as some amazing statistics
have recently shown. English is
spoken all over the world except in
Slavic Eastern Europe, Asia Minor
and South America, but even there
is gaining ground. It is the second
language of the Mohammedan world.
Britain's Export Trade
London Times Trade Supplement:
Too many firms have been content
to await orders from merchant
Houses and to make no efforts to
keep in touch with changing condi-
tions in the countries where their
goods are , consumed. The latest
and most authoritative warning of
the inevitable result of negle'dting to
make personal visits to foreign mar-
kets has come from the Prince of
Wales, and in 'confirmation of what he
has said is the fact that during the
prolonged depression of recent years
nothing has been more remarkable
than that certain businesses which
have made a practice of keeping in
touch with their foreign markets by
frequent visits, Haid by important
and responsible members of the firm,
have suffered less acutely than
others. \

ANALYSIS
1. TEE PROMISE, Acts 1: 6-12.
II. THE PREPARATION, Aet4 1: 13, 14,
IIT. THE FULFILMENT, Acts 2: 1-13.
INTRODUCTION -Thi$ week we begin
a study of early Christianity and its
spread into the Gentile world. The
movement was definitely launched in
that glowing experience on the day
of Pentecost. On several previous oc-
casions the disciples had assurances
that their crucified Lord was alive.
But these moments of illumination
were not long continued, and eventu-
ally
ventually they ceased altogether, "Jesus
was parted from them" at the Ascen-
sion. Then, ten days later, came this
new experience -"The Gift of the
Holy Spirit."
L THE PROMISE, Acts 1: 6-12.
The disciples were met together fox
what turned out to be the Risen Lord's
last appearance. Their minds were
occupied, not with dreams of the prom-
ised Spirit (v. ), but with dreams of
a restored national independence. The
kingdom of God which they had in
mind was material, national, and to be
won by force. Their Master brushed
aside their questioning about this
kingdom. The kingdom he was going
to establish would not be a Jewish
State, but a spiritual kingdom, not na-
tional, but universal. They looked for
political power; he promised them, in-
stead, a Power different from, and
greater than, that of which they were
dreaming. •
That power would come when the
Holy Spirit came upon them. That is,
when the Holy Spirit, which is the
Spirit God, which is the Spirit that
was in Jesus of Nazareth, would be in
them also—when their ideas and atti-
tudes and purposes would be in har-
mony with his ideas, attitudes, and.
purposes. Then they would possess,
not the political power which they had
in niind, but a moral, personal, spirit-
ual
piritual power. With their new vision and
driving power they would witness for
him in Jerusalem—and far beyond
the boundaries of Palestine. But they
still held inadequate ideas of God and
his purposes. They still lacked the
courage necessary :or witnessing.
Therefore, until the illumination came,
which would reveal him and his plans
more truly, until they could speak
with boldness, they were to wait in
Jerusalem.
II THE PREPARATION, .Acts 1 13, 14
the time must be close -at hand when
they must face the world as witnesses
for their Lord and his kingdom.
They realized now that their old
idea of that kingdom was wrong, but
they felt themselves inadequate to the
proclaiming of the new. So, with one
accord they gave themselves to prayer
and supplication. "With one accord"
—they were agreed among themselves.
Prayer -meetings to be effective must
be made up of people who are on good
terms with each other. An atmosphere'
of symapthy, unity of mind and pur-
pose is essential. Thus agreed, they
continued in prayer. They placed
themselves, mind and heart, unreserv-
edly at God's disposal. They had one
overwhelming desire; to come to fuller
knowledge and be the channels
through which God's grace and power
could flow. In this mood of expect-
ancy and consecration they waited for
the fulfilment of the promise.
M. THE FULFILM.;NT, Acts 2: 1-13.
God does not fail lives so consecrat-
ed and expectant. While the believers
were met for player, the, experienced
a vision—a sound like a -mighty rush-
ing wind, tongues, not of fire, but like
fire, lighting upon each one present.
ire the waiting believers there were
impressive and significant symbols.
They were an assurance that the be -
Refs to which they had been growing

that certain metals, including silver, first, in that exuberant emotional de-

mation of hearts overflowing with sud-
den joy and thankfulness and praise,
and which, as yet, had no "language
but a cry." See Acts 10t 44-46; 19:
6; 1 or. chap. 14. At first these
ecstatic utterances and exclamations
were so unrestrained that they at -,i
tracted the attention of passers-by..
Soon a crowd gathered --citizens of:
Jerusalem and pilgrims from all parts,
of the Empire who bad come to the
Holy City for the Feast of Pentecost.!
