LI ERE, take your pineapple
•* juice,” gently persuaded Kop-
pel, the male nurse.
“Nope!” grunted Collis P. Ells
worth.
“But it’s good for you, sir.”
“Nope!”
“It’s doctor’s orders.”
“Nope!”
Koppel heard the front door bell
and was glad to leave the room.
He found Doctor Caswell in the hall
downstairs. “I can’t do a thing
with him,” he told the doctor. “He
won’t take his pineapple juice. He
doesn’t want me to read to him. He
hates the radio. He doesn’t like any
thing!”
Doctor Caswell received the in
formation with his usual profession
al calm. He had done some con
structive thinking since his last vis
it. This was no ordinary case. The
old gentleman was in pretty good
shape for a man of seventy-six. But
he had to be kept from buying
things. He had suffered his last
heart attack after his disastrous
purchase of that jerkwater railroad
out in Iowa. The one before that
came from the excitement engen
dered by the disintegration of the
Happy Package chain of grocery
stores which he had acquired at a
fabulous price. All of his purchases
of recent years had to be liquidated
at a great sacrifice both to his
health and his pocketbook.
Collis P. Ellsworth sat in a huge
over-upholstered chair by the win
dow. He looked around as Doctor
Caswell inquired, “Well, how’s the
young man today?”
“Umph!” grunted the figure in
the chair in a tone like a rasping
cough with all the implications of a
sneer.
“I hear you haven’t been obeying
orders,” the doctor chided.
“Who’s giving me orders at my
time of life?”
The doctor drew up a chair and
sat down close to the old man. “I’ve
got a proposition for you,” he said
quietly.
Old Ellsworth looked suspiciously
over his spectacles. “What is it,
more medicine, more automobile
rides, more balderdash to keep me
away from the office?”
"How’d you like to take up art?”
The doctor had his stethoscope
ready in case the abruptness of the
suggestion proved too much for the
patient’s heart. •
But the old gentleman’s answer
was a vigorous “Rot!”
“I don’t mean seriously,” said the
doctor, relieved that disaster had
been averted. “Just fool around
with chalk and crayons. It’ll be
fun.”
“Bosh!”
“All right." The doctor stood up.
“I just suggested it, that’s all.”
Collis P. sucked his gums and his
wrinkled chin bobbed up and down.
“Where’d you get this crazy idea,
anyway?”
“Well, it’s only a suggestion—”
“But, Caswell, how do I start
playing with the chalk—that is, if
I’m foolish enough to start?”
“I’ve thought of that, too. I can
get a student from one of the art
schools to come here once a week
to show you. If you don’t like it
after a little while you can throw
him out.”
Doctor Caswell went to his friend,
Judson Livingston, head of the At
lantic Art Institute, and explained
the situation. Livingston had just
the young man — Frank Swain,
eighteen years old and a promising
student. He needed the money. Ran
an elevator at night to pay his tui
tion. How much would he get? Five
dollars a visit. Fine.
Next afternoon young Swain was
shown into the big living room. Col
lis P. Ellsworth looked at him ap
praisingly.
“Sir, I’m not an artist yet,” an
swered the young man.
“Umph!”
Swain arranged some paper and
wrinkles deepened at the comers of
the old gentleman’s eyes as he
asked elflshly, “Well, what do you
think of it?”
“Not bad, sir,” answered Swain.
"But it’s a bit lopsided.”
"By gum,” Old Ellsworth chuck
led. “I see. The halves don't
match.” He added a few lines with
a palsied hand and colored the open
spaces blue like a child playing with
a picture book. Then he looked to
ward the door. “Listen, young
man,” he whispered, "I want to ask
you something before old pineapple
juice comes back.”
“Yes, sir,” responded Swain re
spectfully.
“I was thinking—could you spare
the time to come twice a week or
perhaps three times?”
“Sure, Mister Ellsworth.”
"Good. Let’s make it Monday,
Wednesday and Friday. Four
o’clock."
Koppel entered and was flabber
gasted when his patient took his
pineapple juice without a whimper.
As the weeks went by Swain's vis
its grew more frequent. He brought

crayons on the table. “Let’s try
and draw that vase over there on
the mantlepiece,” he suggested.
“What for? It’s only a bowl with
some blue stains on it. Or are
they green?”
“Try it. Mister Ellsworth,
please.”
“Umph!” The old man took a
piece of crayon in a shaky hand
and made a scrawl. He made an
other scrawl and connected the two
with a couple of crude lines. “There
it is, young man,” he snapped with
a grunt of satisfaction. “Such fool
ishness. Poppycock!”
Frank Swain was patient. He
needed the five dollars. “If you
want to draw you will have to look
at what you're drawing, sir.”
Old Ellsworth squinted and
looked. “By gum, it’s kinda pretty.
I never noticed it before.”
Koppel came in with the pro
nouncement that his patient had
done enough for the first lesson.
“Oh, it’s pineapple juice again,”
Ellsworth mumbled. Swain left.
W HEN the art student came the
following week there was a
drawing on' the table that had a
slight resemblance to the vase. The

the old man a box of water colors
and some tubes of oils.
When Doctor Caswell called Ells
worth would talk about the graceful
lines of the andirons. He would
dwell on tjie rich variety of color
in a bowl of fruit. He proudly dis
played the variegated smears of
paint on his heavy silk dressing
gown. He would not allow his valet
to send it to the cleaner’s. He
wanted to show the doctor how hard
he’d been working.
The treatment was working per
fectly. No more trips downtown to
become involved in purchases of en
terprises of doubtful solvency.
The doctor thought it safe to allow
Ellsworth to visit the Metropolitan,
the Museum of Modern Art and oth
er exhibits with Swain. An entirely
new world opened up its charming
mysteries. The old man displayed
an insatiable curiosity about the gal
leries and the painters who exhibit
ed in them. How were the galleries
run? Who selected the canvasses
for the exhibitions? An idea was
forming in his brain.
When the late spring sun began to
cloak the fields and gardens with
color Ellsworth executed an awful
smudge which he called “Trees
Dressed in White.” Then he made
a startling announcement. He was
going to exhibit it in the Summer
show at the Lathrop Gallery!
For the summer show at Lathrop
Gallery was the biggest art exhibit
of the year — in quality if not in
size.
“If the papers get hold of this,.
Mister Ellsworth will become a
laughing-stock. We’ve got to stop
him,” groaned Koppel.
“No,” admonished the doctor.
“We can’t interfere with him novl
and take a chance of spoiling all
the good work that we’ve accom
plished.”
To the utter astonishment of all
three — and especially Swain —>
“Trees Dressed in White” was aci
cepted for the Lathrop show. No!
only was Mister Ellsworth crazy,
thought Kppel, but the Lathrop
Gallery was crazy, too.
Fortunately, the painting wa$
hung in an inconspicuous place
where it could not excite any no
ticeable comment. Young Swain
sneaked into the gallery one after
noon and blushed to the top of his
ears when fie saw “Trees Dressed
in White,” a loud, raucous splash
on a wall otherwise drenched in
beauty and harmony. As two gig
gling students stopped before the
strange anomaly Swain fled in ter
ror. He could not bear to hear what
they had to say.
Two days before the close of the
exhibition a special messenger
brought a long official-looking en
velope to Mister Ellsworth while
Swain, Koppel and the doctor
were in the room. “Read it to me,”
requested the old man. "My eyes
are tired from painting.”
The doctor read:
It gives the Lathrop Gallery
pleasure to announce that the
First Landscape Prize of $1,000
has been awarded to Collis P.
Ellsworth for his painting
“Trees Dressed in White.”
Swain and Koppel uttered a series
of inarticulate gurgles. Doctor Cas
well, exercising his professional
self-control with a supreme effort,
said, “Congratulations, Mister Ells
worth. Fine, fine. . . . See, see. . . .
Of course, I didn’t expect such
great news. But, but—well, now,
you’ll have to admit that art ia
much more satisfying than busi
ness.”
"Art nothing,” snapped the old
man. “I bought the Lathrop Gal
lery last month."

Chicken Cookery
According to the Commodity In
dex, which records the rise and fall
of whole sale
prices, poultry

at prices we
were paying in
1926. Needless to
say, this means
that at a time
when other foods
have soared,
poultry is at a
low level.
With a favor
able supply and
price, you can
plan to use a lot of poultry now,
and give your family something of
a treat with unusually prepared
chicken dishes.
Chicken should be cooked to
“fork tenderness.” There is little ex
cuse for underdone or overdone
chicken if you follow the recipes
given today, with particular care to
temperatures and time for the
cookery. A moderate temperature
is best to use for chicken so as not
to shrink it too much, make it dry
or tough.
Most people who like chicken say
there’s no better way to cook it
than to fry it. The generally ac
cepted method is as follows:
1. Rub seasoned flour into pieces.
For each pound of chicken, blend Vi
cup flour, 1 teaspoon paprika, Vz
teaspoon salt, and scant % tea
spoon pepper. Save left-over flour
for gravy.
2. Heat enough fat in a heavy
skillet to give a depth of about %
inch, using any desired fat. A drop
of water should sizzle when tem
perature of fat is just hot enough.
3. Start meaty pieces first, slip
ping less meaty pieces in between
as chicken browns. Avoid crowd
ing; use two skillets if necessary.
4. As soon as chicken begins to
brown, about 10 minutes, reduce
heat, and cook slowly until tender,
30 to 60 minutes, depending on size
of pieces. Cover tightly as soon as
it is a light, uniform tan.
5. Turn 2 or 3 times with 2 spoony
or fork and spoon to brown and
cook evenly. Avoid piercing with
fork.
6. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons water
before covering, especially recom
mended if pan cannot be covered
tightly, or if bird is heavier than 3
pounds.
7. Uncover last 15 minutes to re
crisp skin if desired. The liver and
precooked heart, gizzard, and neck
may be floured and browned with
chicken the last 15 minutes.
8. Lift fried chicken to hot plat
ter. Prepare gravy in pan drip
pings.

the peacemakers: for they shall be
called the children of God.—Matthew 5:9.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Lesson subjects
and Scripture texts selected and copy
righted by International Council of Re
ligious Education: used by permission.
By WILLIAM CULBERTSON, D. D.
Of The Moody ' Bible Institute, Chicago.
I T IS true that the Christian life
gives offense on occasion. When
a controversy exists between men
and God, the Christian has no other
course of action than to align him
self on God’s side. As he takes
his stand in such cases, he should
do it in love, but nevertheless with
firmness.
The Bible nowhere commends a
critical spirit or a perverse attitude.
It rather emphasizes the necessity
of firmness in the course of right,
a firmness that loses nothing of its
intensity through being tempered in
the fires of love. v
The Christian beyond all others
should give himself to a life mani
festing sympathy, kindness and
charitableness. Thus he will open
avenues of opportunity, of wit
ness, and of service in which the
Lord may be greatly magnified.
I. Contributing Factors to the
Marring of Good Will (Prov. 3:30,
31; 22:24, 25; 25:18; 26:20, 21).
V ARIANCE and strife mar good
will (Prov. 3:30, 31). Notice that
this strife is unoccasioned. When
we strive with men to no purpose;
when men have not harmed us, and
with bitterness of spirit we turn
Upon them, we of course forfeit ev
ery opportunity to influence them
for good.
The man of variance similarly
should be passed by. We are not
to emulate him; we are not to
envy him; we are to choose none
of his ways.
A wrathful spirit also mars good
will (Prov. 22:24, 25). A man of
anger is not to be followed by the
child of God. This passage enjoins
us to have no friendship with such
individuals, for there is danger
that we shall learn their ways and
their ways will then be a snare to
our souls.
Another way in which we mar
good will is to be the purveyors of
untruth (Prov. 25:18). The false wit
ness is characterized as a large
hammer or a sword or a sharp ar
row, for he wounds his neighbor,
often grievously.
The man or the woman who in
gossip has maliciously wounded
another loses all opportunity to
influence him for God. The culti
vation of good will involves the
speaking of truth.
Let us with all diligence, with
the help of God, banish from our
hearts and minds all of these
attitudes which hurt and mar.
II. Contributing Factors to the
Making of Good Will.
I N THE first place, the soft answer
of the controlled spirit will estab
lish good will (Prov. 15:1, 18). The
soft answer does turn away wrath.
The man who is slow to anger ap
peases strife.
Let us not confuse a soft answer
with an unconvincing one, or with
that mealy-mouthed procedure
that we commonly call double
talk. Happy is that man who
knows how to present the truth
convincingly, who can make men,
despite his opposing standards,
.understand that he has their good
at heart. Of course, there is one
absolute requisite to such a tes
timony, and that is a life wholly
lived for God.
Another factor in making good will
is the act of kindness (Prov.
25:21, 22). This passage, you will
remember, is quoted in Romans 12.
Here is the opportunity for us, in
all matters of personal injury, to
place our case in the hands of God
rather than to seek revenge. • By
such acts of kindness, as we trust
God, we shall be obeying the Lord;
and who knows but that our ene
mies may thus be turned to him.
A third contributing factor in
making good will is that of making
peace (Matt. 5:9). So often this
business of attempting to make
peace is a thankless task, but that
thanklessness is only from human
sources. So far as God is con
cerned, he has placed his seal of
approval upon every child of his
who seeks to lead men into peace
with God and to make peace be
tween men.
God speaks of them as being
“called” sons of God. It is one
thing to be a son of God; it is an
other thing to be acknowledged as
a son of God.
III. The Source of % Good Will
(James 3:17).
T HAT wisdom will be character
ized by purity, peaceableness,
gentleness, approachableness,
mercy, and will be without par
tiality and without hypocrisy. This
wisdom which is from above Is
guaranteed to those who know
him who has been made unto its
wisdom (I. Cor. 1.30).
