(Nothing Can Be More Worthy of j Worship Than the Mothers o? Men. We shall sometime find out that the treal divinity of this world is the moth }er. A few know it now, but the most tprefer strange gods. Because men always have and still ?do worship, it is fair to assume that 'they alwayB will. Every man exalts something or ,-some one to whom he pays homage. "Every man has some one place more ?sacred than all the rest, where he (stands in awe. No mau can worship without taking upon himself the image and likeness mi the being or thing which he adores. Every heart that loves has the divine (right to be the first wooed and won. The man who said . that God com mands me ? to love Him did not under stand the nature of the human heart, j ttThe old religion and the old worship ; fcave done about all they can for this j ?world. The old themes are thread- j tbaro, they make no impression. It is ! mrobable that for every maa who read j ?the Bible this morning there were ; thousands who read the newspapers. , Current Events Interest. What the editors- and correspond ents who are on earth now say today tis of more interest to the average man Khan what Paul or Habakkuk said the Jtfay before yesterday. The current re ligion ls archaic. It belongs to the [past. The time has arrived for a new divinity, and that divinity is "The "Mother." Men have worshiped vari ous and useless things. There ls aiothing more worthy than the mo th iers of men. It requires but the slightest effort So adapt all we think or fancy of God to what we know of the mother. Men ?peak of God as being a mystery, providence and power, author and ?preserver of life, the inspirer and help er. We do not know that he is any ?f those things, we do not know what ?be is. But those terms are applicable to the mother of men. She is the vast ?and sacred mystery, the keeper of the miracle and sanctity of life. Lying beneath her loving heart In the mysterious birth sleep, fashioned :by Nature's deft and unseen hand, life ?waits the moment when with sur ipri8ed and startled cry it comes upon Jthe shores of this strange world. If there is anything about our (thought of God that we cannot trans iter and adopt to our thought of mo* .er and motherhood then our idea of dod ls poor and mean and our idea of motherhood is meaner still. The Di .vlne Providence ls a theory-a theory that is not warranted by the facts of tlife and the world. The maternal ?providence ls a fact without which fcmankind would perish from the earth. IAII that they claim for Christ, all and ?more, may be claimed for the mother. Sufferings of Mother. They say he suffered for us; that She died that we might live. But the (Buffering upon the cross has been ?more than matched thousands of times. The sufferings of the man ithat was crucified vas less than the {suffering of the mother who stood over ?there, in the darkness and heard the ^agonized cry, and then, when her son twas dead, knelt at the cross and trias ped his feet and covered them fwith kisses and tears. The deeper and more tragic pain ts that which the heart feels. The moth jera of men "have tasted death for jevery man." The old religion has much to say fanout the necessity of forgiveness. As la matter of fact, most of the sins of -jthls world consist of wrongs commit ted against mothers and the children |of mothers. If motherhood were hon ored as divine, if throughout the so cial, the industrial and the business ?world no injustice was done., no wrong {committed against a mother nor her ?ch'd, sin would disappear from the tearth. We should not then build cathedrals iand temples for the gods, and poor Stouses for women and children. The time will come when we will ?take our divinity from the skies and, paving domesticated lt, make for it a {house in the world that is now. Our Christian civilization will then {he succeeded by a humane civiliza tion. All that is of value in this world, all of virtue end excellence, all of per manent good, depend upon the respect, the reverence, the adoration in which {the sons of men hold the mothers of ?men.-Rev. John Emerson Roberts. Essence of the Divine. "If there be any Virtue, if there be ?any praise, think on these things." To admire what is admirable, to ?adore what is adorable, to follow what tts noble, to remember any such ex amples that have crossed our earth Ay pilgrimage, that have brightened 3ts darkness and cheered its dullness, Ahls keeps alive before us the ideal tof human nature and the essence of Une divine nature. The good thoughts, the good deeds, the good memories, tot those who have been the salt and the light of the earth, do not perish fwith their departure. They Uve on iirtill. and. those who have wrought tthem live in them. Better Than Before. Prosperity is a painted window, ?which shuts out much of the clear Hight of God, and only when the blue, and the crimson, and the golden tinge jare removed, is the glass restored to lits full transparency. Adversity thus "takes away tinge, and color, and dim mess, and we see our God far better .?than before, if our eyes are prepared #or the light-Spurgeon. ? Saems That None Can Escape Misunderstanding of Actions, Evan When Most Worthy. It -would seem that no man can be anything or do anything without being made a target to be shot at, if not shot to pieces, by somebody. ThiB editor was once a presiding elder. He found that the most Bincere and honest and earnest effort in that office did not save him from the suspicions of some and the direct charges of others. He found that a few men for whom he en dured most, in an effort to do for them, thought that hp had abandoned them and crucified '.hem. He found that some laymen, members of quarterly conferences, would impress the pastor with the notion that they were anxiouB for hi? return to a charge and would ?' the same time load the pastor with complaints made to the presiding el der. He found that such a pastor thought the presiding elder full of the "insolence of office" and loaded down with a sense of importance on account of a little "brief authority." The presiding elder is now an editor. He was told OB taking charge of the columns of a paper that an editor ls a public target. He has come to know that He ha? found that the men for whom he has really tried to do most are the men who are quickest and sur est to shoot his hide full of holes. He has found that his motives are often questioned. He has found that some are quick to attribute sinister motives to him. He has found that others are ready to accuse him of systematic neglect of them and their work. Cannot Escape Criticism. Justice Holmes of the Supreme court of the tJnited States recently made a speech in New York. That speech has given this editor no small comfort. We had supposed that nobody impugned the motives of the Supreme court But it seems that the only way any man can escape criticism is to go off and hide himself, be nothing at all, do nothing at all. Here is the paragraph of Justice Holmes' speech which gives us comfort: "Of course we are not excepted," he said, referring to the Supreme court "Not only are we told that when Mar shall pronounced an act of congress unconstitutional he usurped a power that the Constitution did not give, but we are told we are the representatives of a class, a tool of the money power. 1 get letters, not always anonymous, intimating that we are corrupt "Well, gentlemen, I admit that it makes my heart ache. It is very pain ful when one spends all the energies of one's soul in trying to do good work with no thought but that of solving a problem according to the rules by which one is bound to know that many see siBiBter motives and would be glad of evidence that one was conscientious ly ba<#. But we must take such things philosophically and try to see what we can learn from hatred and distrust, and whether behind them there may not be some germ of inarticulate truth."-Western Methodist Where to Look. What Christ is, constitutes the safe ty, life, power, and joy of every sur rendered believer. We cannot too con stantly or too completely hold to this simple truth. The child rests in com pletely helpless and completely trust ing dependence upon the parent. But more completely still does Christ's own being constitute all our life and strength and hope and safety and hap piness. Therefore, if we yield wholly to him, we may always find all our assurance in him. To "remember Jesus Christ" in this way is all that is needed for our daily guidance, and strength, and peace, ana accomplish ment. The Psalmist knew God in the Bame way when he sang, "Be glad in Jehovah." "Rejoice ia Jehovah." "I will bless Jehovah at all times, " "Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee." "Jehovah be magnified," "God i6 our refuge and strength." As we thus face God in Christ and fix our whole heart and soul and spirit upon what bi; is, there i? no room left for fear or un?ettling thoughts about our selves, or for anxiety in any direction. When we let Chri?t become the real focub of our trusting gaze, we are safe, and we are satisfied. For Others. The selfish spirit is utterly at var iance with the spirit and the mind of Christ Every man for somebody else, is the battle cry of the Lord's hosts. "Go ye into all the world and preach my gospel to every creature," is ex pressive of the divine intentions con cerning the spirit and attitude of his children toward mankind without ev eivwhere. By the law of nature and the law of the government of God, every man is debtor to the other man. It is a serious thing to be charged with eternal responsibility for the other man. Every one either helps or hinders the other one. What if one be found a stumbling-block in stead of a light-bearer, a teacher and guide for the other man? Life Abundant Easter means life, new life, life abundant, not some time in the future, but here and now.-It means the con quest and growth over decay, of beau ty and fertility over barren bleakness, of life over death. The present hope of which the bursting buds of spring time is a symbol, brings immortality close, and makes today, with its little round of dutiefe a part of the eternal. It connects life here and now with the glorious perfected life beyond, making each a part of God's suprema ff HEN the wild plum blossoms in the lane 'Tis ?a time for dulcet laughter and re frain, Time fo9 airy fairy dre&mlngs whispered low By the woodland pixy people as we go. Time to loiter and make glad among the flowers Oh, it ls a heartBome place, this world of ours. NUTS IN COMBINATION. Add a few chopped hazel nuts or filberts to the next custard pie, and see what a delicious combination it makes. Nuts and bread brumbs used for stuffing of peppers, tomatoes or onions will take the place of meat most satisfactorily. Peanuts and Rice.-Take two cups of well salted and cooked rice; while hot stir in a cup of peanut butter, a cup of cracker crumbs, a half cupful of milk, and two eggs well beaten. Shape in a rounding loaf and place in a well buttered pan. Bake until a nice brown, and serve hot with parsley. This ls a most delicious loaf for chil dren or any one who does not eat meat Nuts with apples or cabbage, In fact with any fruit or vegetable, makes a good salad. Walnut Loaf*-Take a cup of chopped wain at meats, four cups of bread crumbs, one hard cooked egg chopped, one beaten egg, one onion grated, salt and sage to taste, with suf ficient milk or water to moisten the mixture. This loaf may be served either hot or cold. Mix and mold, and bake in a well buttered bread pan. Walnut Croquettes.-Mix together a cup of walnut meats, a cup of cooked rice or hominy, a blt of green pepper chopped, one egg well beaten and seasoning to taste. Milk may be added if needed for moisture. Mold into neat croquettes and fry in deep fat. Almond Cookies--Mix together a pound of ground almonds and a pound of sugar, add a tablespoonful each of allspice, cloves and cinnamon, a tea spoonful of anise extract, four eggs well beaten, and flour to mix, with two teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Roll out thin, cut in diamonds or rounds, sprinkle with sugar and cin namon, decorate with three almonds and bake until brown. HEN HERE is not any virtue the ex ercise of which even momen tarily will not Impress a new fairness upon the features. -Ruskin. SUNDAY NIGHT TEA. A dainty and nice little salad to pre pare for a night lunch is dates and cottage cheese. The cheese should be well seasoned and arranged on lettuce leaves, with three or four dates care fully stoned and washed and arranged on the cheese. No salad dressing will be needed with such a salad. Figs and nuts ground together in a food chopper and seasoned with a bit of salt and moistened with a ta blespoonful of cream makes a fine fill ing for sandwiches. For a refreshing spring sandwich nothing tastes better than sliced cucumbers with a bit of onion Juice and lemon on bread and butter. Chopped green onions, seasoned with oil, vinegar and salt, make an other good sandwich filling. A cup of hot cocoa on a chilly night ?6 most ac ceptable, and with a salad is enough for a simple meal. ( After a late heavy Sunday dinner, a very light lunch is best. For those who are not satisfied with that, a heavier dish, such as sliced roast ol beef with Mexican or Spanish sauce, or an escalloped dish of eggs, maca ronni and cheese and white sauce will be found quite satisfying enough. Milk toast, made of nicely toasted and buttered bread and a white sauce of rich r . ->r thin cream, is an espe cially ?upper for little people. J soup on a cold night warms o* ud is a good beginning for a u supper., For older ones the addition of grated cheese will be pleasing, and they will not find it hard of digestion. Small cakes of many kinds, with a dish of canned fruit, is another good accompaniment with other things for a supper. Spong cakes cut open and filled with sweetened and flavored whipped cream are never refused by old or young, and this is one cake the young sters like and are not injured by eat ing. Sardine and Pimola Sandwiches. Mix twelve boned and skinned sar dines with a tablespoonful of chopped stuffed olives or pimolas, add a ta blespoonful of lemon juice and use ter filling between buttered slices of white bread.
