*TeLVOXite Recipe of) the IWeek'^-' Asparagus au Gratin A sparagus au gratin is just the dish to serve when you are looking for something especially good to eat that is eas ily and quickly made. The recipe given here calls for a medium- thick white sauce, but instead of making it you may prefer to use a can of cream of mushroom, pea, or celery soup. The soup adds flavor and eliminates the task of making sauce. If you use the soup, heat it with the cheese and serve over the asparagus on toast. 4 tbsp. butter Salt and pepper 4 tbsp. flour 1 can asparagus 2 cups milk tips M cup grated 6 slices toast cheese Melt the butter, add the flour, and stir until smooth. Add the milk and cook until thick, stirring constantly. Add the cheese and season with salt and pepper. Heat the asparagus tips in their own liquid until they are hot. Arrange the tips on the toast and serve with the hot cheese sauce. Fried slices of pineapple would be good to serve with the aspara gus. Sprinkle the slices ever so lightly with sugar and brown in buuer. MARJORIE H. BLACK. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription Is a tonic which has been helping women of all ages for nearly 70 years. Adv.

Nation Celebrates 250th Anniversary Swedenborg's Birth AMAZING as It seems that one Ax mind could encompass so many varied realms of knowledge, never theless It is true that Emanuel Swedenborg, the 250th anniversary of whose birth is being celebrated this year, made important contribu tions in many fields of science, theo retical and practical, In statesman ship, philosophy, and religion. In 1716-1718 he published the first scientific periodical in Sweden, con taining records of his mechanical Inventions and mathematical dis coveries, which included the first airplane design to have fixed wings and moving propeller, the first air- pump to employ mercury, and the description of a method for determin ing latitude and longitude at sea by observations of the moon among the stars. In the “Princlpia,” a work on physics and cosmology, he arrived at the nebular hypothesis theory be fore Kant and Laplace. He was 150 years ahead of any other scientist in his works on the functions of the brain and spinal cord, and on the functions of the ductless glands. Swedenborg served as an active member of the parliament of his country for more than fifty years, Introducing fiscal reforms and much general legislation. At the age of fifty-five Emanuel Swedenborg discontinued his scien tific pursuits and began his work as a theologian, publishing the “Arcana Coelestla, Apocalypse Explained”; “Heaven and Hell”; “Four Doc trines” ; “Divine Love and Wisdom”; “Divine Providence”; “Apocalypse Revealed”; “Conjugal Love”; “True Christian Religion”; and other mis cellaneous theological works.

STAR ! I DUST | ★ IVAovie • Radio $ ★ A ★★★By VIRGINIA VALE★★★ S ONJA HENIE is the most honored young woman in motion pictures these days. Recently she went to Washing- t?n to receive the cross of Knighthood of the Order of St. Olav, conferred by the Nor wegian government through their minister to Washington. A few days later her ice ballet, the same one you will see in her film “Happy Landing,” played a benefit at Madison Square Garden in New York City sponsored by an impressive array of Camegies, As- tors, and Rockefellers. Beneficiary of the occasion was the Children’s Village which lends a helping hand to New York’s prob* _ Ice Tears Away Niagara Falls Bridge This twisted mass of steel girders among mountainous blocks of ice is all that remains of the 40-year-old Falls View International bridge which coUapsed into the ice-filled gorge below Niagara falls after resisting an ice jam for 24 hours. This view of the famed “honeymoon bridge” was made from the American side. The noise of the crash of the 4,500,000-pound structure blotted out for a moment the roar of Niagara falls, 500 yards upstream. Thousands of spectators watched as the girders buckled. Workmen who had been sent into the gorge to strengthen the bridge’s supports narrowly escaped death when the crash came. Sonja Henie lem children, and thanks to Sonja a staggering number of thousands of dollars was raised. Sonja expresses her gratitude for all these honors in neat little phrases, but she doesn’t get the least bit cocky about it. She seems as completely unspoiled, as com pletely oblivious to her unique posi tion in the entertainment world as Shirley Temple does. Gracie Allen, long radio’s qneen of nonsense, is at last to get the rec ognition she deserves from Para mount pictures. They are having the author of Philo Vance murder mysteries write “The Gracie Allen Murder Mystery.” She will be the star, and no less a celebrity than John Barrymore will portray Philo Vance. —■¥— When Jack Benny first started talking about that rattletrap old car on his radio program, it was just the figment of a script writer’s imagination. By the time radio au diences developed a hilarious at tachment for his wheezy old motor, Jack began to wish that he really had one, so he and Mary Living stone made the rounds of used-car lots and found just the car of their dreams. It is a 1921 model and cost thirty-five dollars. —-K— That long-promised return of Gloria Swanson to the screen is postponed indefinitely again. Colom bia pictures, which had planned to have her play the lead in “Holi day,” have decided instead to give the leading role to Katherine Hep burn. Joan Bennett and Cary Grant will be featured with her, so it prom ises to be one of those knockout pictures that Columbia turns out with unfailing regularity whenever they borrow ranking stars from other studios. Radio stars are much more thrifty than the early motion-picture stars. Most of them invest their earnings in businesses that are not so dependent on youth and enter tainment whims of the public. Jack Fulton, tenor of “Poetic Melodies,” has bought a half-interest in a Fifth avenue haberdashery.

LUITOQUIST, Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. C Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for February 20 CHOOSING COMPANIONS IN SERVICE LESSON TEXT—Mark 3:7-19. 31-35. GOLDEN TEXT—For whosoever sh»n do the will of God. the same is my brother— Mark 3:35. PRIMARY TOPIC—Twelve Men Who Went With Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC—Twelve Men Who Went With Jesus. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Working With Others for Christ. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Comradeship in Christian Service. “God can save a man who is all alone on the top of the Alps.” So spoke one who sought to discourage another who wanted to give his life for Christian service. No one questions that God could thus carry on His work in sovereign power, and - that there are times when He does that very thing. But ordinarily God works through men. It was “the sword of the Lord, and of Gideon” (Judges 7:18). What a glorious, inspiring truth it is that God calls men into compan ionship with Him for service. Sinful and weak though they be they may become strong and holy, and do valiant service for Him. I. The Need of Christian Workers (w. 7-11). Although the hostility to Christ was growing apace among the relig ious leaders, the people thronged about Him in the hope they might have deliverance from the devil and from disease. The need was so great that the Lord Jesus now prepared to call those who were to be His fellow-servants. The multitudes are in just as des perate need of Christ and of the ministry of His church today. Why, then, do they not crowd the churches and press in around His servants? That is the question over which leaders of the church are puzzled. There may be many reasons, but wo suggest two as being at least worthy of careful thought. The first is that we live in a time of apostasy. In the time of Christ men had only begun to hear His message of de liverance. In our day men have heard and heard again and have hardened their hearts. Another reason is that in many, perhaps most, instances, the church has so far separated itself from the Lord that it has no power. Needy men are not interested in the dead observance of religious forms. They want to see the workings of the power of the Most High God I Whether men know their need or not, whether they throng our churches or not, their very need of Christ should impel us to serve the Master in reaching them. The love of Christ should constrain us. H. The Call to Christian Work (w. 12-lf0. Much might be said at this point but we must limit ourselves to two thoughts. Note that the Lord chooses his own workers; we do not choose to work for Him. Then be en couraged by the fact that He chose men of widely differing gifts, tem peraments, and personal character istics. Then we note that He called some of unusual ability, others with little ability; some learned, and some unlearned—fishermen, a tax-gather er, and others of various occupa tions. Note that none were by pro fession preachers. What a comfort it is to those who are in Christian work to remember that it is not what we are or may have been that counts; it is what Christ is and what he can do through us! HI. Preparation for Christian Work (w. 31-35). God has many ways to prepare His servants—but it seems that they all experience the heart-break ing disappointment 'of misunder standing and the heart-warming joy of intimate fellowship with the Lord. Look at verse 21 and you will realize that the family and friends of Jesus thought He was crazy be cause He devoted Himself so whole heartedly to the service of His Fath er. Is it not strange that if a man becomes a scientist he is honored if he ruins his health in zealous re search? If he is a business man he may bum the lights late in the pursuit of wealth, but if he chooses to give his life to the greatest of all occupations open to man—serv ice for Christ—his friends and rela tives try to deter him by calling him a fanatic. Beautiful beyond words is the oth er side of our picture. Those who serve Him are “to be with Him” (v. 14). He sends them forth to preach, and gives them power. Yes, they even become the members of the most intimate family circle. “Behold . . . my brethren” (v. 34). Vain Regrets and Grief Forgive!—the years are slipping by, and Life is all too brief—A time will come when it’s too late for vain regrets and grief. Come Apart and Rest! Even the busiest lives must have their breathing times, when the or dinary strain of effort is relaxed. Unconscious Benefaction It may well be that the good we unconsciously do exceeds the sum of all our purposed benefactions. From Now On, It Was Marigold—Young lady. I’ll have you understand my word is law. Sally—Well, here’s where I make a few amendments. A sporting friend tells me ef • referee who swallowed his whis tle. A blow below the belt? A Respite Rastus—Dat’s better. I don’t like to see yo’ all frowned up. But does dat smile mean yo’ for gives me?
