Know Each Other By REV. JAMES M. CRAY. D D" Dam of the Moody Bibi? Lurituto. Chicago TEXT-For what ls our hope, or Joy or crown of rejoicing:? Are not even ye. In the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, at His cc ml ns? I Thess. 2:13. What more in teresting and ten der question do Christians ever put one to another than this - Shall we know each other in the life toc?me? The Bible nowhere d.'nitely answers tha?. ques tion, but the infer ences are many of an affirmative kind. For example, there is the uni versality of the belief or hope of such recognition, which is expressed on every tomb stone and heard in the hymnody of the church in all the centuries. A be lief of a few men in a few places is not a sufficient ground of evidence, but a belief of all men in all places ls very different. God would seem to be the author of a belief like this, and, If so, there must be a ground for it. In the second place, the reasonable ness of the idea strengthens the con viction of its truth. For example, the resurrection of which the Bible speaks is one of Individuals, but in dividuals are capable of identifying themselves only as they identify oth ers with whom they were associated. If, in other words, we shall know our selves in the resurrection, then we must kno" others who have helped to make us That we are. But the ob ject of tho- resurrection is equally con vincing, si- ce it is to bring reward to the righte< ":3 and punishment to the wicked. Tr. sse rewards and punish ments are based upon the deeds done In the body but to remember the deeds, we mr. ;r remember those for or against whon rhe deeds were done. What the Bible Says. In the thir<i place, while the testi mony of the Tibie tn this respect is not definitely clear, lt is Inferentially so. Certainly Christ's words to Martha with re;orence to the resur rection of her blither Lazarus, imply that In the resurrection they would be known one to another. Read the story in the eleventh of John to prove this. Furthermore, we have the teaching of Jesus' In the parable of the unjust steward, recorded In Luke 13, where he says: "Make to your selves friends of the mammon of un righteousness; that when ye fail they may receive you into everlasting habitations." It Is difficult to inter pret this in any other way than that In the life to come those saints of whom we have made friends here by our treatment of them will know and welcome us into the joys beyond. And Paul's words in the text are to the same purport. Possibl. Objections. It is no objection to this that Jesus teaches in another plar>\ (Matthew. 22:30) that In the resurrection there ls neither marrying nor gi ving in mar riage, for such relation .-.hip is not necessary to identity nor the spiritual Joy of it Some would say that in the life to come many friends would be missed who have not died in the faith of Christ, and that from such a point of view recognition and reunion would make for sorrow instead of joy. But as Bishop Mant says: ?"Fear not. the prospect of the realms of love Shall mar thy Misa, or thence sad lights arise To blunt thy sense of heaven's ecstasies: There, if thy heart with warm devotion glow. Meet for thy place, 'twill solace thee to know No friend of thine, mid those keen agonies In that dark prison-house of torment Mes: For none ls there but 1B of God the foe. And alien thus from thee. The ties of blood. And earth's moat sacred bonds, are but a twine Of grossamer, compared with what ls owed To Him. the Lord of all! On Him re cline: He shall thy heart of every care unload. He bl'l thy day with cloudless luster shine." ' The practical effect of such a hope as this is an extended one. In the first place, lt brings us strongly under the power of heavenly realities. In the second place, it induces us to form only holy friendships that can be con tinued through eternity. In the third place, it affords the most precious consolation to the bereaved. "As year by year we lose Friends out of sight, to know How grows in Paradise our store!" Let the fact be emphasized in clos ing, that we are talking about Chris tians and not the unbelieving people of the world. True Christiana are those who have received Jesus Christ as their Saviour by faith, and who, regenerated by his holy spirit, are following him as Lord and master. It is these who have this hope before them, and only these. Let us then ask ourselves with candor, as in the sight of God. whether we belong to ?his blessed comoanv. NEW IN LINE OF COAST EXCELLENT DISHES MEANT TO BE SERVED WITH VEGETABLES. For Preparation of Celery the Outside Stalks Should Be Used-Anchovy Toast Delicious-When Mads With Cheese. Celery Toast-For this the outside stalks of celery can be used. Cut them into inch lengths, put them over the fire in enough hot water to cove* them, and stew until the celery ls ten der. Remove from the water and add to a cup of this an equal quantity OL milk, thicken with a 'heaping table spoonful each of butter and flour, stir until smooth and thick, return the eel ery dice to this, salt and pepper to taste, and pour over dipped and but tered toast or over fried bread. Anchovy Toast-Make your toast; after trimming off the crust butter lightly and spread sparingly with an chovy paste, f5iok together a table spoonful of butter and one of flour, pour upon them a cupful of milk, stir until it is thick and smooth and put Into it two hard boiled eggs, chopped coarsely. When the eggs are hot through, popper to taste-the anchovy will probably supply enough salt-and pour the egg sauce on the anchovy spread toast. This is more a relish than a main dish, but if you choose to make more sauce and double che quantity of egg used you can have a good dish for Sunday night supper or for a family or even a company lunch. Cheese Toast, L-Slice bread thin and butter lightly. Lay between two thicknesses of it a thin slice of Amer ican dairy cheese; beat a little butter In a frying pan, put the cheese sand wiches in this, and brown delicately, taking long enough about it to have the cheese- melted on the inside. Sprinkle with salt before serving. Cheese Toast, II.-Heat half a cup ful of shaved cheese in a saucepan, and when it is melted add to it a cup ful of milk; stir until milk and cheese are well blended. Beat an egg light, pour some of the hot cheese and egg upon it, and return to the saucepan, cook one minute, season with salt and red pepper and paprika, and pour upon buttered toast in a hot dish. Stuffed Eggs. Boil S eggs very hard, shell and cut In halves lengthwise. Take out yolks and mash them fine, mix with iy* ta blespoons olive oil. 1 small teaspoon of mustard, add pepper and salt and enough vinegar to thin sufficiently. Cut a little parsley very fine and mix In dressing, then fill cavities with dressing. Take two toothpicks and run through egg slantwise so they cross each other in center. They can be re moved by the one who is to partake of the stuffed eggs. These can be varied by mincing 2 sardines very fine and adding to mixture before stuffing the egg. Boiled Rice. First wash the rice in cold water. Then place rice in a medium sized stewpan with the water two inches above the rice. This quantity of wa ter must remain the same during the bolling. As soon as the water boils the heat must be lowered. Boil slow ly for half an hour. Th^> stewpan cov er must be kept on the rice and not lifted during the boiling. That ts the secret of Chinese success In rice boil ing. It must not be stirred, lt will then come out snowy white and every grain will be whole. Graham Cake. Three eggs, beaten with one cup of sugar, four tablespoons of hot water, one heaping cup of flour, sifted, with one heaping teaspoon of baking pow der, and lastly add two teaspoons of anise seed. Bake In a large shallow tin. When done take from oven and let It cool a little. Turn out and cut Into inch-thick slices. Cut each slice into two pieces. Return to tin and put Into oven and brown on both cut sides. Spice Cake. Here ls my recipe for spice cake that I always use unless I make the famous apple sauce cake: One and one-half cups of sugar, one cup of molasses, one-half cup of butter, one and one-half cups of sour milk, two and one-half teaspoons of saleratus, spice to taste, one cup of raisins, three cups of flour, three eggs beaten In last. This makes two good sized loaves.-Boston Globe. Mother Eve's Pudding. Take six ounces each of sliced ap ple, ."rated bread, chopped suet and washed currants and mix together in a bo v i with a quarter of the rind of one lemon grated. Beat two eggs stifily -nd add to the other ingredi ents. Roil in a buttered mold and serve v. ?th white sauce sweetened and flavored with vanilla Rhubarb Puffs. Cream me cupful of sugar and two tablespoon fula of butter, and two weW-beaf. ? eggs, one-fourth cupful of milk, ono teaspoonful of baking powder, and flour to make a thick batter; then stir In '.-ce cupful of fine ly chDppe:! rhubarb; half fill well buttered cups and steam for harf an hour. Servil with pudding sauce. To Stop a Curtain. If your curtain rolls up too violently and winds itself over and over the roller, put a screweye in the wood stick at the bottom, and then, if you happen to release the curtain sudden ly, lt w?l not wind over the roller. (Conducted by the National Woman'? Christian Temperance Union.) QUAKER MAKES APT ANSWER Liquor Dealer Who Declared He Kept Oecent Plsce is Tola Just What He Does to Mankind. During a lively discussion on the subject of temperance in an Alle gheny mountain stage, says the Chris tian Endeavor World, one of the company who had hitherto remained silent, said: ^"Gentlemen, I want you to under stand that I am a liquor dealer. I keep a public house at -, but I would have you know that I have a license, and keep a decent house. I don't allow loafers and loungers about my place, and when a man has enough, he can't ge1: any more at my bar. I sell to decent people, and do a respectable business." "Friend," replied a Quaker, "that is the most terrible part of thy business; thee takes the young, the poor, the in nocent and the unsuspecting, making drunkards and loafers of them. When their character and money are all gone, thee kicks them out and turns them over to the other shops to fin ish off, and thee ensnares others and sends them on tho same road to ruin." MISTAKES CAUSED BY BEER Interesting Experiments Conducted Jn Vienna to Determine Reaction Time In Brain. A series of interesting experiments was conducted by Einer of Vienna to determine the reaction time of the brain with and without alcohol, and it was found that no ono's intellect was at its best even under moderate doses of this drug. The experiment was con ducted as follows: The subject was placed at a telegraphic tablo with fin ger on the key and at the Sash of light was required to press the key. It was proved that the reaction time of imbibers was lengthened over that of the abstainers even when small quantities of alcohol were taken. A number of complicated experiments were made on reaction time involving color signals. ? telegraph key was placed on che right and left of the subject and signalized by alternating flashes of red and white light. It was proven that more mistakes were made after the ingestion of one glass of beer than before it was taken. ! LINCOLN'S NEX^ BIG FIGHT After Reconstruction, Martyred Pres ident Intended to Wage War on Liquor Traffic. At a recent temperance meeting ta j Washington, D. C., one of the speak ers was J. B. Merwin, introduced as "the personal friend of Abraham Lin coln." Major Merwin dined with Lin coln the day the latter was assassin ated, and he stated that during the conversation the president said to him: "Merwin, since as far back as 1842 I have waged two fights, one against slavery and the other against the liquor traffic. We have won the fight against slavery and after reconstruc tion the next great question will be the overthrow of the liquor traffic. And you know, Merwin, that my purse and my heart and my Influence and all that I have and all that I am will go Into that work." v r ALCOHOL HURTS THE MEMORY Karl Vogt, Distinguished German Naturalist, Gives Result of Inter esting Experiments. To the "Medical Annual" for 1912 we are indebted for the following: "Karl Vogt, the distinguished German naturalist, found that alcohol had a deleterious effect on the memory. After taking about one ounce of al ! cohol after breakfast, he found that he required a longer time to learn off by heart a portion of Greek verse. If the alcohol was taken on an empty stomach this action was much more ; marked, and was seen with a smaller dose. On revising his work some months later, he found that the lines learned under the influence of alcohol were more imperfectly remembered than those learned on the days when no alcohol was used." Governor Sulzer on Temperance. The days when "a quorum of the house of representatives could always be found at the Capitol bar" are gone, never to return, according to Gover nor Sulzer. "When I first went to Washington." said the governor, "a man who did not drink was under sus picion; now It ta the man who drinks who ls under suspicion. The change came about through the good senso and better judgment of the members." Bureau of Information. The saloon ls a bureau of informa tion for every crime in tho community.
