roc HYMN OP LOVE, 13: 1 13.
This chapter. _'las been called "the
greatest, strongest, deepest thing Paul
ever wrote,", :.nd in order to get the
connection one must read it along 'ith
the last verse of chapter 12, which is
a kind ofbridge. Paul was glad to
think that the converts in Corinth
have received these manifold gifts
from the Spirit, and he would strongly
urge every one to desire these gifts
and; to develop what h- may have. But
even the greatest of these ,gifts.is'not
to be compared with the graces of the
Christian character, of which the
leading one is love. The more excel -
\lent way of 12: 31 is the way of chap-
ter 18, the way of love.
(a) The Central Place of Love, 1-3.
V. 1. By "tongues" here Paul likely
means the ecstatic utterances which
these Christians at Corinth were priz-
ing so highly: but it may also include
attieulate as well as inaiticulate lan-
guage. With love these gifts are not
able to win any gree': blessing, and
are like a clanging cymbal, a mere
noise. If one is. cultivating eloquence
merely for itsown sake as an accom-
plishment, thatcan haveno religious
value.
V. 2. This verse may refer to intel-
lectual gifts, and to the faith which -is
able to nuke outward demonstration.
Some one has said that here we have
"the intellect of the philosopher joined
to the inspiration of the, seer." But
without love even these great-endow-
ntents do not give that character
which is the real standard of value.
_ V. 3. Acts of benevolence and of
self-denial, even though these are of
an excessive nature, do- ndt bring any
blessing from God unless they are
mingled with love. Thus love is shown
to be the one essential factor in the
religious character.
(b) The Qualities of Love are Now
given, 4-7.
Most of these are described in a ne-
gative form, and in his description
Paul is evidently keeping in mind the
defects which he sees to exist in this
church..
'ir, 4. Love is gentle and long-
ing. It exercises a merciful de ay in
inflicting merited punishment. It has
the grace of kindness, Love is no brag-
gart,. does not snake any ostentiods
display, neither is it proud, blowing
its own trumpet and making arrogant
display,
V. 5. Love has a feeling of propri-
ety, nor does it fly into a rage on every
slight cause of provocation. Some of
the heathen writings had said that one
should never be displeased over any-
thing. even wrong -doing, but Paul
would not go that far. He knew there
was a place for just'indignation. Love
also takes no account of evil, which
nay mean, either, "doth not entertain
evil thouehts," or. "doth not suspect
' evil in others." Love puts the best
construction onthe actions of others.
V. 6. Love is henpy. The gladness
of the early .church' was one of the
most attractive features, Acts 2: 46.
7eses came that his joy might be in
us. A great poet has a lines"happy
as a lover." Here. joy is found because
the cause of truth is prevailing.
V, 7. Four stage in love are men-
tioned. (1) Love bears the burdens
of others. hiding their faults. (2) It
believes the best of others. (3) If
faith hesitates then hope still remains.
(4) When all else fails, then love will
patiently endure.
(c) The Abiding.Nature of Love, 8-13.
V. 8. Paul selects three of the gifts,
prophecy, tongues, knowledge, to show
that these are not eternal. In v. 2 he
said that these gifts were of no value
without love. Now hesays that even
with love they have merely a tempor-
ary place. Love is the only one of
these that abides.
V. 13. In this verse the word "now"
is not temporal, as if Paul meant to
say that now faith and hope could
abide, but that hereafter love would be
the only force to remain. "Now" here
means "and so." These are the three
abiding graces, faith, hope, charity:
and even among the graces love has
first place, Why love is the greatest,
Paul does not say, but we may remind
ourselves that God :3 love.
Here, therefore, we bring the sub-
bect to a conclusion. All gifts are to
e cultivated: let no Christian despise
thein. Every accomplishment, every
Intellectual. faculty that can adorn
and grace human nature, should be
cultivated and polished to its highest
capability, Yet these are not the
things that bring us' nearer God. "If
we love one another, God dwelleth in
us and his love is perfected in us."
The Lunch That
Goes to. School
It Needs to Nourish Active,
- Growing Bodies and be
Well Packed
By PAULINA RAVEN MORSE
(Master Farm homemaker)
In. Michigan Farmer
The school' bell is 'ringing, calling
`an -armyof children to school. The
majority of children living in rural
communities;: is obliged to carry
lunch. To some this will be a new
,experience this year and if the child-
ren are to maintain good health and
physical vigor throughout the year,
the mother • must give care and•
thought to the planning of the school
lunch. The children often walk long
distances to school, eat hurried break-
fasts and cold lunches, and rush out
to play. Is, it any wonder they fall
prey to colds and 'disease?.
The teacher should supervise the
noon luncheon period the same as any.
class, This period affords an excel
lent opportunity to bring out Tittle
pointy in table etiquette. A supply of
plain white paper napkins to serve ae
lunch cloths should be kept on hand
at the school.
uffer-
The receptacle in which the lunch
is to be packed is aiwr-•s one of the
first: consideration. Many children en-
joy carrying
njoy,:carrying the gaily colored tin,
boxes. At our house, we like them,
bettor because the cover is fastened
to the liox, allows for ventilation, and
the lunch may be packed in them
more compactly. They are more sani-
tary than the pasteboard or fibre
boxes for they can be washed and
scalded. The thermos lunch kits are
very good, if one can afford them, as
they permit the carrying of a hot
drink of milk. •
Between Two Slices of Bread
The sandwich Is one of the most
desirable foods for the, lunch • box.
There are many kinds which can be
prepared from white bread, graham
bread, whole wheat bread, and nut
bread withdifferent fillings. I often
prepare: .
Meats chopped fine and moistened'
with cream, gravy, or salad dressing,
Dried fruits such as figs, raisins,
dates, and prunes chopped fine and
cooked to paste. Lemon juice may be
added for (laver.
• Preserved fruits, as jams, jellies,
fruit butters, marmalades and con-
serves.
Nuts chopped fine mixed with salad
dressing, cream cheese or honey added
to the dried fruit pastes.
Eggs scrambled •-ith crisp bacon, or
hard boiled eggs chopped fine and
mixed with salad dressing.
dressing, honey, or some of tate fruit
marmalades as orange marmalade.
Cheese paste for sandwiches can be
easily made by putting cheese through
the food chopper and adding cream
and softened butter until the cheese is
of creamy consistency. Then add nuts,
chopped olives, or pimeatoos. The
amount of cream and butter 'used will
depend upon the dryness of the
cheese. Be 'sure ti cream together
well. Cottage cheese make, very
good sandwich filling when used with
brown bread.

factory because they become stale
soon after they are made.
The bread for sandwiches should be
at least twenty-four hours old, Both
sides of the sandwich should be but-
tered, as butter keeps the filling from
soaking the bread and gives needed
fat content to the lunch.
There Must be Fruit
Fruit is one of the most valuable
foods of the lunch box. It may be
fresh, dried or canned, If canned, it
should be packed in a jar with a screw
cover. Fresh tomatoes at this time
of year aro a pleasing addition to the
lunch: Have the fruit as attractive
as possible when the lunch is packed.
It may be well to add extra fruit for
recess time, especially apples,
Cakes and cookies provide the des-
sert part of the lunch, Sponge cake,
chocolate cakes, plain. butter cakes,
molasses cakes, and drop cookies
made from oatmeal and graham flours,
containing Outs and retains, are al-
ways acceptable. Some of the cake
batter may be baked in patty tins or
potty paper cups. The cakes present
a daintier appearance and will keep
moist longer. Nuts, dried fruit, .co-
coanut, chocolate, or sugar sprinkled
on top of the cake before it Is baked
make a change.
Cup custard, junket, jello, fruit
salad, rice pudding, tapioco pudding,
cottage cheese, or baked beans may
be packed in glass jars and added to
the lunch in 'season. I try to have
a surprise in the lunch box several
times • during the week in the way of
sweet chocolate, dates, figs, raisins,
chocolated coated raisins, nuts, animal
cookies or special fruit.. If the lunch
is not, eaten, the surpirse is omitted
for a time.
Tho individual likes and dislikes of
the child must be taken into con-
sideration when packing the lunch
box, for we cannot expect the child
to eat at school what he or she will
not eat at home: All food should be
neatly wrapped in wax paper before
packing, then packed in the order in
which the food will be eaten. If at
times there are empty spaces, Ell them
with crushed paper .to prevent food
from shaking about.

child who carries a well -packets lunch

to Ontario Hydro.
Electric
One of the continent's largest hydro-
electric power plants commenced op-
erations Monday when the Paugan,
Quebec, station of the Gatineau Power
Co., a subsidiary of International
Power Co., started delivery of 80,000
horsepower of electric' energy to the
Hydro Electric Power Commission of
Ontario. A 220, --volt transmission
line will carry the power 260 miles,
from which point it will be dis-
tributed by the commission in the To-
ronto area to supplement the power
now supplied from Niagara Falls.
Opening of the Paugan plant, with
an initial installation of 204,000 horse
power, marks the completion of the
first stage in the development of the
power resources of the Gatineau River
by the Gatineau Power Company.
There are two other power houses
on the river which have been in opera-
tion a year, which have a capacity of
2$2;000 horse power installed and in
process of installation, malting a total
of 436,000 horse power for the three
plants.

Above then the company has con-
structed a darn, which creates one of
the largest artificial storage reservoirs
in the world. The dant backs the river
.up a distance of thirty miles, submerg-
ing nine falls and rapids and crhating
a maximum head of 140 feet. Includ-
ing bulkheads, the main dam is 917
feet long and its maximum height is

length of 570 feet, including bulk-
heads, and its maximum height is
fifty feet.

advantage the total fall in the Bat-
ineau River for a distance of sixty-
two miles from its mouth and is de-
veloping about two-thirds of the avail-
able head on the wl.ole river. All the
remaining head which can be develop-

Smuts Discusses
Succession Issue
Says Country Would 'Not Be
Safe Without Fleet ,
Cape Town, South Africa—Speak-
ing to' an. audience which was pre-
dominantly of Dutch origin, Gen. Jan
Christian Smuts, leader of the Op-
position in the Assembly, was vigor-
ously applauded in a memorable
speech an the secession question.
General Stouts at one point in his
address declared: "If we were not
within the Empire we would have to
search for other friends. We would
have to. go to America or France or
some otter big country to protect ns
because we are not. sate. One war-
ship could bring us to our tutees, But
to -day we are not cornered in a kraal,
but we are in a friendly circle with a
powerful British fleet to help us if
any injustice is planned toward us.
"We need not spend millions on a
fleet," Gen. Smuts continued, "but
can concentrate, on projects 01 de-
velpoment so necessary to a young
country. The British Empire is not
a bond tying us, but is a helping
hand.
"There Is a great deal of talk about
sovereign independence, but not of
independence within the Empire. No
mention is made of the fact, accord -
lug to the report of the Imperial con-
ference, that the Empire Is a eom-
monweaith for mutual. help and sup-
port. In Otte sense we are free to do
as we like. Our independence Is
there but it is independence within a
friendly circle.
"We are friends, helping one anoth-
er, remaining true to each other in
days of danger. 11 South Africa

tral also ad then the commonwealth
is worth nothing, .The doctrine of
neutrality is not in the interests of
South Africa. ' Other nations will

Tirana, while trusted Albanian and
Italian police agente are trying to
around up plotters against the new re-
gime, say -uncensored dispatches which
have just leaked over the border of the
mountain kingdom..
The dispatches describe the country
as; being in a state of alarm, which in
some places approaches terser. They
state that eleven persons Mese execut-
ed yesterday at Durazzo, and that 200
others were arrested there at the cam -
'nand of Zogu' himself. The executions
are said to have --taken place in the :.
market space of the dilapidated sea
port, which is : only 25 miles west of
the capital.
The movement against the throne
is reported to be wldespread.`The fact
that it has reached Durazzo is taken ,
as confirmation of this because the
entire situation its said to be an out-
growth of an uprising which started
a few weeks ago in the mountains of
Northern Albania. That uprising had
its birth in the murder of one of the
most conspicuous of the mountain
chieftains, who was fo its dead in bed.'

Rural Britain •
to Be Preserved
From Vandals
Beautiful Landscapes to Be
Under Protection of Local
Committees
London.—Itis proposed to establish
a Devon and Cornwall branch of the
Council for the Preservation of Rural
England, of which Lord Crawford is
President, and Prot Patrick Aber-
crombie, the Liverpool regional plan-
ner, the honorary secretary. Lord As-
tor, who has for so long been closely
associated with the town of Plymouth,
is taking an interest in the movement.
Already on parts of the chest, as, for
example, at Duporth, disorderly de-
velopment is ruining beautiful land-
scapes. In some cases ugly hotels
have been erected, disfiguring the pro-
file of the coast, where the essential
part of the natural charm is its re-
moteness.
The threatened spoiling of Dartmoor
and South Devonshire is, of course,
the result of the masses of English
people being able to move out so easily
and cheaply from the town into the
country. Butthe very ease of the
this mass movement increases the
value of the natural beauties of the
countryside and makes it the more
imperative to take action, so as to
keep certain areas free from build-
ings.
Already valuable work on these lines
is being carried out by the Thames
Valley Branch, of which Lord Astor
ie chairman, and in East Kent by a
committee initiated by the Archbishop
of Canterbury.
The flrst step is always to make
a survey of an area and to prepare
an outline scheme of development. In
this general plan are clearly marked
possible new roads and land that
should bo kept open. The committee
for Cornwall. and Devon, when it is
formed, will also no doubt pay special
attention to old bridges, the preser-
vation of the character of old high-
ways and of ancient buildings. Ad-
vertisements and petrol filling stations
are also to be controlled. •

Be Careful With
REFUSE TO ACCEPT ZOGU
A full regiment was sent into the
northern mountains, but reports have
it that two divisions of troops have
now been mobilized because a majority
of the northern Albanians refuse.ts
accept Zogu as king. Most of the
northerners are Roman Catholic Chris-
tians, while Zogu is a Mohammedan.
Thus far nothing has come through to
indicate that the • Greek Orthodox
Christians in Southern Albania have
a mind to join their co -religionists of
the north,but some observers here are
predicting the possibilityof rebellious
outbreaks in that region also.
Because of the 'turbui st conditions

Baby's First Bath
Extreme Cara should be taken
when the time comes to give the
baby 119 first real bath. Cornelia
Browne, D.C., N.D., wrildng in
"Physical Culture Magazine" for Sep-
tember advises the mother on the
properway to avoid trouble.
"A mother through lack of under-
standing, may be the cause, by faulty
and injudicious handling, or produc-
ing in her little one, a fear of water
that may follow the child throughout
its life," says this authority. "A
child who screams when it is put into
the tub is undergoing a shock to its
nervous system, and unless it is a
very -robust child it may not be able
to regain this lost nerve force and
therefore may suffer from a lowered
nerve vitality all its life.
"Be sure that the roorlitis 70 de-
grees F. when you bathe the baby,
and that the water is 98 to 100 de-

"A good castile eoap is usually re-
