(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

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.

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.
