An old Dutch artist has depicted "the horror of thick darkness" plague that fell on the land of Egypt, with considerable effeee and force. He al- lows. Us through the darkness which envelops his engraving, to discern the shadows of men stumbling along the way, running against each other, groping in vain to find their doors. Itere and there are men with lamps; ibUt they radiate no light—they are small white specks and the men hold themclose down to the ground to find their " path. Meanwhile, in the distance, lies the favored land of Goshen under -s. flood of light. Un- til we saw this print, we had no idea that darkness could,be" So pictorially represented.—(Dr. Kitto). This visitation again compelled the king to send for Moses and Aaron.. Nevertheless he is still bent orotbin- promise. He will now permit'Ithe children of Israel to go, but the flocks must be left behind. This lefesees meets by a plain and blunt refusal: "Our cattle also shall go with is; there shall not a hook be left behind." This roused Pharaoh's indignation and he said: "Get thee solemnly observed at a definite time of the year. The people received. these instruc tions with reverence and, ready re sponse. "They bowed their ani worshipped. And the children of Is reel went away, and did as the Lord had commanded Moses and. Aaron, so did they." The Passover was 'a prophetic symbol of the death and atonement of the Lord Jesus—it was an earnest of the great sacrifice a the Lamb of God in the fullness of time instead of us and our nest -born; we were ob- noxious to the sword of the destroy- ing angel, but Christ our passover was sacrificed for us, his death was our life, and thus he was the "Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."—(Matthew Henry). from me, take heed to thyself; see my face no mere, for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die." Moses left his presence with the ominous words, "Thou hast spoken well; I will see thy face again no more." The contest is now over, and Moses is directed to prepare for the last awful infliction—the crowning stroke —which shall compel the king to lot the oppressed go frees. nay, to urge and command their immediate depar- ture. Preparations for leaving Egypt were begun in accordance with in- structions from the Lord. The night of the fourteenth day of the month —Nisan-that night of grief to the Egyptians—was a night of earnest waiting, of solemn preparation for the israelites. Before that night came they had received instructions for obServing it in that form in which it was to become a yearly festival commemorative of their deliverance. The Passover was instituted and ob- served as indicated in to -day's les- son. Moses 'bids the elders of Israel choose "for every family a lamb." The lamb was. not only killed—that alone would not have made the an- gel of the Lord pass by their houses —the blood had to be sprinkled on the lintel and the two side posts. Furthermore .they must not go out of the doors, lest they should be ab- sent when the summons came for them to depart out of the land; they must stay within "to wait for the salvation of the Lord." They were instructed from the very first to observe two things—it was to be "an ordinance to thee and to the, sons for ever"—a memorial of what great things God had done for them wHen the destroying angel pass- ed over the houses of the Israelites,' and did not destroy their first-born. They were to instruct their children, teaching them the meaning of this service. When they would inquire, as children would be sure to do,— what is the meaneng of all this care „and exactness about eating this lamb, and this unleavened bread, more than bout, corms -ion food?. Why such a difference between this meal and other meals? Such questions would be sure to be asked and Moses said they were to be ready to explain ful- ly its significance in the life of the nation. It was commenorative of the birth of a nation and was to be For Housewives Everywhere!

ARIO ASK YOUR .DEALER ••( mit WORLD MISSIONS The occasion of my going to Burma was to present a matter for consid- eration to the 'Representative Chris-, tian Council on behalf of the Nation- al Christian Council of India, Burma and Ceylon. . Befote and after coun- cil meeting I visited sone of the mission centres. I spent a day in village medical work with Dr. and Mrs. •Henderson. The 'doctor finds the indifference ofthe people to their own and othets' suffering the great- est obstacle in his work. He and his ,wife( go and hunt out the sick and induce them to be treated. The root of this is probably that no one has cared for them, and they can't be- lieve that any one does. At Moel. mein there is a large well-equipped mission hospital for Women, where nurses are also trained. Away up near the frontier, Dr. Gordon Sea- grave is doing to'the sick. As I was returning to India called Waste Bas- ket 'Surgery, the nucleus of his stock 'of instruments being some discarded from Johes 'Hopkins Hospital, and rescued by 'him. There. is a children's hospital in Mandalay. But there is great need of an extension of service to the sick. As I was returning to India on the boat therej Was a doctor who is working in Burma in connec- tion with the Rockefeller Foundation: He is working in an area of six hun- dred square Miles near Rangoon, at- tempting to eliminate preventable diseases and to teach sanitation. This is much needed all over Burma. In some parts there is, for instance, a ninety per cent. infection with round worms, due to the pollution of the soil around the dwellings. There are no rural sanitary arrangements. One -Egg Cake Summer Delicacy A one -egg cake is offered here, one of those much sought after and tempting summertime delicacies. The use of orange, juice with the ntilk -is a good way to enhance the color and flavor of the cake. The orange frost- ing contributes az added attractive- ness. 'The dilution of evaporated milk with orange juice has an effect on the milk that results in softer tex- ture in the cake. The acidity, how- ever, is not increased to the point that soda is required, 'which is the case when the milk is soured with vinegar or lemon juice. ,Orange Cup Cakes. 1 1-3 cups pastry flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 34 cup sugar 1 -egg 1/4 cup ,evaporated milk 14cuporange juice.

Torriatoee Aided for 0.1,411 :44,44 ,t'1,44,M1,.• 1 • , • , ' 'It is said 'that ' the . kletitemanias wife of , a prominent citizen who stole with impity frowerrost Fifth Avenue stoma, 'the victims merely sending billto her husband which he aid, was finally landed in. jail when he tried to lift something from S. Klein. This thievery makes S. Klein a fair target for suits for ,damage actions. He has fought sev- eral of them 'in his tie. One of these cases had a great deal to do with the djenvissal from the bench a former Magistrate Silberman, who refused to convict a shop walker, and thus paved the way for her to enter into a conspiracy to sue S. Klein for false arrest. Klein buys in tremendous lots., sornetiimes 15,000 garments in a single order and shaves profit to such,an extent that he has driVen. ,out of buSiness hundeeds of cheap New York clothing dealers Union 'Square and Fourteenth Street has 'become the world's headquarters for this business and not Jong ago Gordon Selfridge is said to have made a special trip from London to examine it. 'Another secret of his •priee-cutting ability is that his overhead is small. Fifth Avenue stores sometimes pay one-tenth of their gross income for rent. Klein pays three-quarters one per cent. Moreover he turns over his stock from thirty-five to forty- five times a year. He has adopted the sound principle of cutting the price of an article -until it is disposed of. It stands for two weeks at its original price. Then it is reduced. And the process is repeated every two Weeks until the garment i3 bought. Space in Klein's is worth too much_ money to t b oecupied by slow selling lines. Klein himself is a common place chapwithout social ambitions, and with no cultural tastes, no hobbies. He closes his store on Jewish holidays at a loss of perhaps $75,000 a day. He explains this 'sentimentality by saying, "It pleases Momana," Holds World's Record ForSellingCheaply This S. Klein, New York, of whom we read in the New Yorker must be about the most interesting Klein in the United States, Rot excluding Chuck, the demon batter. Starting with few advantages, he has climbed, in the past quarter century, from. be- ing a half-starved Jewish tailor to a well-fed Jewieh clothing dealer whose personal income is about a million dollars, a year. S. Klein's great money -making innovation was to in- troduce into the ready-to-wear wo- men's garment trade the so-called cafeteria system, in other words the selfsserve system, or, as we should prefer to call it,. the help -yourself system.. At one sweep this does a- way wit- an army- of clerks. At an other, u happily, it makes necessary the employment of a small army of spotters. We do not imagine we should enjoy shopping at S. Klein's although we have to admit that the joy of shipping anywhere is some- thing that just seems to have been i left out of our natureBut the store is plastered with sins in English, Italian and Yiddish bearing the words, "Don't Disgrace Yourself," and "The Punishment for Dishonesty is Jail." Girls on high platforms main- tain a constant surveillance of customers, store police are scattered through the premises and in the dressing rooms there is the somewhat embarrassing warning, "Detectives Are Always Watching You." But implicit in all these signs is the fact that .there is a 'tremendous lot of customers. The store is jam- med from the time it opens until it closes. S. Mein publishes news- paper advertisements only when he warns people to stay asway because the store is closed. The'people flock to S. Klein's because he sells women's and children's wear at extremely low prices. He has on hand a constant stock of between 2013;,000 and 3013,000 garments and the average price for a frock is less than five dollars. Klein, of course, used to he an ad- vertiser. That is how he got his start, but he found that whenever be advertised a special sale there was a riot in Union Square, . where his shop ' is slocated, traffic was blocked and the police were called out. That is '•-w'hy he does not dare advertise any more. The store itself, though it provides him 'with 400,000 square feet of floor space, is pretty dingy. There' is 'nothing gorgeous or digre- fied in the surroundings, but you can get a sports dress for a dollar, a silk suit for five dollars and an evening gown for seven dollars and ,seventyefive cents. That is the ex- planation of why Klein's is the larg- est women's ,wear shop in the world. ,There are no showcases or folder; in the store. All the goods are dis- played on racks. The customer seizes what she wants and makes for the dressing room where she tries it on. On busy days, according to Milton MacKaye, who contributes the article to the New Yorker, girls have been known to do their trying on right in the middle a the store. If it fits or can be made, to fit the customer carries the garment to a clerk who wraps it up and takes the money. All transactions are for cash except those which the shoplifters ery to put through. Despite the, ',watchfulness. of S. Klein's myrnu- dons there are plenty of these. He estimates that he loses a hundred tho-ueand dollars per year in thisway but Mr. MacKaye suggests that thz amount is more. In any event S. Klein is always pretty mad about it, and if he is convinced that his spot- ters have caught a real shopliftee fhe will hound her to the U. S. Su- preme Court before he will let her escape. !He is tolerant of the poverty stricken youngstets who often try to. outfit themselves at his expensee but with the professionals he is implac- able. Acids in Stomach Cause Indigestion Create Sourness, Gas and Pain. How to Treat. Medical authorities state that nearly nine -tenths of the cases of stomach trouble, indigestion, sourness, burning, gas, bloating, nausea, etc., are due to an excess of hydrochloric aid in the stomach. The 'delicate stomach lining is irritated, digestion is delayed and food sours, causing the di'sagreeable symo- tornrewhich every stomach sufferer knows so well. Artificial digestants are" not needed in such cases and may do real harm. Try laying aside all digestive aids and instead get from any druggist some Risurated Magnesia and take a teaspoon- ful in water right after eating. This sweetens the stomach, prevents the for- mation of excess acid and there is no sourness, gas or nainillisurated Magnesia ' (in powder form—never liquid or-ne is harmless to the sterrach, 1nexnens1 e to talab and is the Most efficient form of magnesia for stomach purtioses.

Where France Hoards Gold The most technically modern, the most significant and up-to-date structure in Paris looks extraordin- arily commonplace from the outside. Thousands of people pass it every day without a glance, realizing only that next to the Bank of France lies a broad, 'square open lot surrounded by a wooden fence, apparently await- ing the arrival of builders. But in reality the job was finished long ago. For this extraordinary structure, this palace, this armored vault, this fortress, does not rise above the ground with steep, imposing walls, but is sunk seven. stories undergro nd , deep and invisiBeneath his ble: emptylies lot in the middle of 'Paris the biggest gold mine in the modern world, protected by steel and cement, unfknown and mysterious, the re- newned cellar vaults of the Bank Of France'. It contains 70 'billion francs in coined and uncoined gold, a sum too vast to be imagined and such a treasure as neither Caesar, Craesus, Cortez, Napoleon, nor any mortal man- has ever seen gathered together in one place since the world began. This mysterious spot is the georn- ertical center around which the whole economic universe revolves in its agi- tated orbit. Here lies, in a danger- ously rigid, yet magnetic sleep, the magic metal from which all the un- rest in the world radiates. For 85 feet, the height of a seven . story building, the elevator drops straight down into the earth through a rounded cement shaft in which it fits closely. At the bottom of the elevator shaft, we find ourselves at the entrance to the artificiale gold mine. No sound penetrates from above. A sense of peace descends that is at first frightening, but later this lutminous 'silence induces happie ness. And it is a luminous silence, for eternal day reigns in this modern catacomb. The white cement pas- sageways are evenly illuminated by countless electric lights, and the air is filtered and clean, heated and moistened: There is one entrance door, broad and thick, and as I walk past it a shudder runs down my spine, for if it should swing shut I should be buried alive. But did I imagine that just this one door served to protect the interior labyrinth? By no means, I have only passed through the vestibule and hardly got beyond the first palisade.

CONVINCE. • Dante's Paradise and Hell had seven eircles, and the cellar of the Bank of France has perhaps even more. Suddenly, as I stand surrounded by bright electric light, 1 am reminded of -The Arabian Nights. For we are ogle to go no further, We have reached the end of our journey. A- cross our path stands a rigid, glitter- ing wall of steel: We then step aside, for on tracks that we had not noticed an electric locomotive appears and goes u‘p to the rigid wall. A signal is given and the locomotive starts badk, pull- ing a solid piece of wall with it, a square, smooth block of steel taller than a man arid as thick as six or seven 'men. We investigate this gig- antic protective sdoor of splendi3, bare, smooth, cold, pure, water-eel- ored steel that feels like agate but that is a huildred times harder From' it we can measure the thick., ness of the wall, off which the shells of dreadnaughts would bounce like rose 'petals. And new we get our first real conception of the strength of this ringed fortress that defies any attack. No bomb coule make the least intression on its smooth sur- face, no power could penetrate to its inmost recesses, to its heart of gold. Aibandon hope, all ye-whaedream of entering here. The techniques of war and peace have worked together to create this wall. Here'human in- tethgence has concentrated on de- fending gold. We pass through the square tun- nel of the magically opened steel wall and make our way through a laby- rinth. At length ,,we enter • a tre- mendous room as..big as a church 'or a theater. Who uses this enormous room? No divine service is held here, no theatrical performances are given and no meetings. No furnish- ings, no inscription, no word tells its purpose. The pillars stand bare and ehalklike in the empty, even light. In the corner are some wooden chairs and tables scattered about as if they had been left by mistake. But no one sits here. eEverything looks un- used, 'pointless and meaningless. But actually this hall has its sig- nificance. It is being reserved for the most terrible hour in human des- tiny „for the apocalypse, for war and upheaval, for the moment when the city and its financial 'citadel are in danger. Just as a submarine dives beneath the surface to protect itself when it sees an attack coining„ so the Bank of France will sink 85 feet underground out' 6f the disturbed zone down to this inaccessible hall of security,- where it will keep on working undisturbed. The neighbor- ing rooms contain enough provisions for 80 days. , There are electric stoves, dormitories, beds, everything that human beings can possibly need. The water comes from a special source and cannot be cut off. Zhe electricity is not connected with the ,city's' "electriCal supply. One recognizes with horror all the gruesome genius that has provided for every eventuality. The .drunken god of war may rage front one end of the world, to the other, bit though the earth drinks the blood., of thou- sands, not One drop will penetrate this hermetically sealed steel cof- fin. Typewritera will keep on tap- ping, ledgers will be filled. Checks will be written, and the 'gold- will sleep unharmed, undisturbed, unat- tainable. We pass through passage after passage and finally come to a room whose walls are honey -combed with safes that contain the • g6Iden honey of innumerable working bees. These safes are not nere safe-deposit box- es, but whole room i that look like the bare, white eells of some profane kind of monastery, with a table and a chair in each. We enter one and are amazed at the steely silence. No sound penetrates this cell where stock certificates are sleeping. Paper symbols whose value runs into the millions lie behind silent walls, debts of foreign nations, whole railway lines, steamship companies, tea plantations, and industries — all represented( in certificates. • One re - fleets with a smile that a whole fac- tory with 40 smokestacks and 1000 'machines may repose in one drawer and that another drawer may contain. a whole Japanese or Manchurian,rail- way train with locomotives, tenders,. cars, stations, shops and offices.

Then still more corridors and we.. come upon the very heart of the, building, the vaults where the actuar bars are lying. No intruding foot may enter this imenenee sanctuary of gold. Perhaps this was just as well. They strange power that gold exercises in the modern world is due chiefly toe the fact that it is invisible. 'As long as we could lay hold of it we had: hardly any reverence for it at all,. but since it has fled it has become sought after. Formerly it never oe- curred to anyone to think and talk - about ,the gold of France, for in the - old days its ringing .musie,would be heard on the tables of cafes and ort the zinc counters of tobacco stofes. Coined gold passed through the hand% of thousands upon thousands of peo-- ple, and by wandering freely &sone acquired an almost human warmth.. But now that it is lying still in coil and mysterious hoards it. is agitating' the whole world. Now we are sthnding at the thresh - hold of its inaccessible resting place._ Behind this wall of steel and cement:, we know that there reposes a hoard: . of gold that has become legendary, - and wben one tenches, this cold metal wall one has touched the earth's sixiet at the present time. Yet if gray an, sand or some worthless waste ma- terial lay here, if some . valueless mineral were 'behind the artificer& barriers of concrete, the stillness: could not be any different. it is, not: what actually lies behind tile' cold! bare wall but what we . believe Iies: behind it, for only so lbng as was give this...yellow metal' vaine will it be worth more than any other subs, - stance.
