Know Each
Other
By REV. JAMES M. CRAY. D D"
Dam of the Moody Bibi? Lurituto.

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.
It Is the first place a policeman goes
when he ?B In search of crime and the
last place he goes when he ls In search
of virtue.-William J. Bryan, in an
Address to the Presbyterian As
sembly.
Two Freedoms.
There are two freedoms-the false,
where one is free to do what ha likes,
and the true, where he ls free to do
what he ought.-Charles Kingsley.
