CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR grayer Meeting Topic Foe the Week Beginning April 24, 1910. Topic.—Christ winning the world.—John *11, 1942. Comment by Rev Sherman H. boyle, D. D. The mission of Jesus Christ was to win the world! “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Bon.” He came first to the Jews and for the salvation of the jews, and yet before He had begun His worldwide mission the fact that this was to be Its character was clearly set forth in the Old Testament prophecies and sug- gested by words and actions of His own in His life upon earth. In re- sponse to the faith of the Syropheni- clan woman He healed her daughter. At Jacob’s well He spoke of Himself as the Messiah to the Samaritan wom- an and called forth the faith of the inhabitants of Sychar. In the lesson for our study He received certain Greeks who desired to see Him and declared upon their coming. “The hour is come that the Son of Man should be glorified." No doubt the request of the Greeks, who represented the gen- tiles. to see Him inspired this fatter- ance, for in the Jew and the gentile the people of the world were repre- sented. Then at the close of the dis- course, beginning with the words just quoted, He makes the deliberate dec- laration that His mission was world- wide. “I. if I be lifted up from the earth (crucified), will draw all (or all men) unto Me.” And why “all" if His mission had been limited to any one nation or race of people? It was not so limited. This is the only explana- tion of Christ's reception of the Greeks and His use of the word “all” in referring to the result that should follow His crucifixion upon the cross. Our “hearts should burn within us" as we read these words of the Saviour, for we, being a part of the world's "all. are thus assured or ms willing- ness and power to save us. The method by which Christ wins the world is indicated in the words before us. To do so He was com- pelled to take man's sins upon Him and die in his stead, thus atoning for him and making his salvation possible. “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me." This He said. John adds, “signifying what death He should die.” By His death on the cross, therefore. He would pay the penalty of man's sin and at the same time “draw all" unto Him. The attractive power of the cross is wonderful. He wins men. He draws them by His love, manifested by His death, and thus they put their trust in Him. accept Him as their substitute and are saved. The cross is able to draw "all men." but unfortunately all men will not be drawn. Some have given up the aton- ing character of Christ's death and look upon it simply as an example to men to reach moral transformation through the effect of Christ's death. Others prefer to give their lives up to sin, and the cross has no power to at- tract them. It often repels, for it speaks of the death of one who was alnless, and they love sin. A third class are indifferent to the cross. They are so occupied with the things of time and sense that even the glory of the cross is lost sight of by them. But there is no fault in the cross. If one is attracted and another is repelled the difference is in the persons themselves. The cross is ever and always the same. If It does not draw you It is your heart and your life that are wrong, and they need to be changed, for you as well as all, being a sinner, need to be saved and can be saved through Christ alone. Christ's part is done. He has been lifted up, and He is winning the world. How large the world once seemed, but how small it is today: Moreover, the advances of mankind are ever making it smaller. The op- portunity of Christ's winning the world is thus daily growing greater and brighter. But men to be won must see the cross. They must know the story of Jesus and His love. “How shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach except they be sent?” Sent of God. so far as their selection is concerned, but sent of man, so far as the opening up of their opportunity is concerned. Go or send. One of these two duties rests upon ev- ery one of us. Not having gone, are we sending? Are we giving and pray- ing that soul winners may be sent out the world over and win all men for Christ? If not we are failing in our mission as Christians and in the duty of the saved toward the unsaved. Can we afford to reject or to disre- gard such plain duties divinely placed upon us?

One of the brightest plans for a Christian Endeavor prayer meeting is that of a candle meeting. All the lights will be put out except that on the piano, which will be only a candle. After the leader has taken part he will light a candle that is on the table. Each Endeavorer will have a candle and a match, and after he has taken part he will light his candle (some- times from a neighboring candle or. If there is none near, then with the match). Gradually, as one after an- other speaks, the whole room will be flooded with light. Try It. It makes a beautiful and true Illustration of the subject, and the little ceremony will In Itself give rise to many thoughts that will be expressed.— Amoa R. Wells tflntnai benefit Column.

I often wish the mothers, with their families about them, though often wearied (almost to desperation) could realize what a great work is given into j their hands, and instead of lamenting be- j cause their sphere of influence is so limited, see the possibilities and the 1 power which they may use for good. *‘D” will appreciate the prompt re- sponse to her inquriy, and the additional recipes will be welcomed by many. Dear Aunt JaadQe: There may be other answers to the request of D. bat if not, you can use the following: Rhubarb Pudding Place a layer of bread crumbs in a buttered pudding dish, then a layer of rhubarb cut quiet fine, then sugar and nutmeg or other spice if liked. Repeat the layers till dish is full, and placing crumbs on top with bite of butter, pour a cup of water over all, and bake. Tart apples may be used in place of rhu- barb and stale cake or cookies may be used with the bread crumbs. We like this served with Vinegar Sauce—Mix one cup sugar with two tablespoonfuls flour and wet with little cold water; pour in boiling water, and cook; add butter, vinegar and salt to taste. Some like spice, too. Rhubarb Pie—One and one-balf cuds rhu- barb, one-baif cup raisins, one table spoonful water, coo zed for a few minutes but not soft. Add one cup sugar, one cracker rolled fine or a tablespoonful flour, small bits of butter, salt, nutmeg or vanilla if liked. Bread Pudding Two cups fine bread crumbs warmed with one pint of milk; add two eggs beaten, salt, one-half cup sugar with one desert spoonful of cocoa mixed with it; bake; serve with cream. Brown sugar sauce is new to me, but I like it with boiled rice. Brown Sugar Sauce Two table spoons butter, two of flour, one of cold water and one cup brown sugar; heat and stir till smooth, then add one pint boiling water and cook fifteen minutes. Favor with lemon or nut- meg. Filled cookies have been well received by ! the sisters. Try filling them with dates or or figs cooked till tender. We like jelly cookies. Use any good sugar cookie recipe, cut quite good size and place in pan, spread with jelley and cover with another of same size. Moll. One member who always looks for recipes to try, will, I hope, send us some contributions in that line herself. She will know whom 1 mean. The following from Susan will add to oar cooking department a pudding, but Aunt Madge doesn’t deserve the credit of the poem dedication. Susan, one of our good nieces sent it in your behalf. Pasadena, Cal., April 5,1910. Dear Aunt Madge: 1 think it very nice and thoughtful of you to dedicate to me so fine a poem as is “The Old Home". Please accept my thanks. It calls to my mind very vividly old home scenes, old country places and many a brook that I waded barefoot in my girlhood days; gates that I opened and swung on; the busy bee that I watched as it went from rose to rose filling its little sacks with sweets; the drowsy noon hour when I lay upon my back on earth's soft green carpet, looking into the sky, amused with and taught by soaring bird and sailing cloud. It was long ago, and yet it seems it was but yesterday. Now I bear the wind whispering in the pines and murmur* ings of brooks. The old lane is familiar and the flame of old love uneztinguished. And now, to change the subject, I want to say I have just got up from my dinner and I am going to tell you what we had for desert. It was an orange cottage pudding made by the following recipe; Orange Cottage Pudding One cup of flour, one-half cup of sugar, one teaspoonful of baking powder, yolks of two eggs, one-half cup of orange juice, grated rind of one orange, two tablespoonfuls of melted butter and one- half teaspoonful of salt. Serve with sauce made of one cup of orange juice and two- thirds cup of pulverized sugar. Mix juice and sugar and add when ready to serve the white of two eggs beaten stiff. I hope you have the oranges; but if not, if you call around I will fill your apron full of nice ripe ones; and they will be large, so you can make a big pudding for your John. I know he will like it, for my John thinks it’s fine, and he knows. Now, to change the subject again, I want to tell you of my roses that garland a jack- aranda tree. There are two of them, a Gold- The soothing spray of Ely’s Liquid Cream Balm, used in an atomizer, is an unspeakable relief to sufferers from Catarrh. Some of them describe it as a godsend, and no wonder. The thick, foul discharge is dislodged and the patient breathes freely, perhaps for the first time in weeks. Liquid Cream Balm con- tains all the healing, purifying elements of the solid form, and it never fails to satisfy.

Mr. Wilford Adams is his name, and he writes about it: “Some time ago I was con- fined to my bed with chronic rheumatism. I used two bottles of Foley’s Kidney Remedy with good effect, and the third bottle put me on my feet and I resumed work as conductor on the Lexington, Ky., Street Bailway. It gave me more relief than any medicine I had ever used, and it will do all you claim in cases of rheumatism. Foley’s Kidney Remedy cures rheumatism by eliminating the uric acid from the blood. G.

Awhile ago I wrote you of a single hollyhock that graced our dining-room window. Well, that is gone, but six more grace it now, and three of them are in bloom. Susan. We are indebted to Ann for the rice suggestion. NEW WAY OF COOKING KICK. Rice should be served more as a vegetable, to be eaten with the meats and gravies, and as a vegetable it should be so cooked as to be in individual grains when served and not held together by a moist, starchy mixture as a cereal. Here is the recipe for cooking rice as a vegetable. To one cup of rice use three quarts of water, three level teaspoons of salt and one teaspoon of butter. Heat the water to boiling, add salt and butter, then add rice, letting it boil loudly so as to keep it in motion for twenty minutes; then drain and set in warm oven for five minutes to dry. _ Another personal friend of Erne Stine writes in her memory: Aitkin, Minn., April 4,1910. Dear Aunt Madge: When The Amekican brought us news of the death of our brilliant, beloved sister. Erne Stine, I could only repeat: Why didn't I write her oftener? And then these lines came to my mind. “Now is the time: ah, friend, no longer wait To scatter loving smiles and words of cheer To those around whose lives may be so dear; They may not need you in the coming year. Now is the time!” I copied this in November to send our M. B. column, but just neglected sending it. In my last letter from Erne Stine she urged me to write more often to our M. B. column, and while she may never know it, I promise my- self, in memory of her faithful devotion to our column and work, to be more prompt in the future in responding to Aunt Madge’s appeals. I change the pronoun in James Whitcomb Riley’s “Away”, and send it for our comfort, it is so beautiful. Remembering the strong, generous, sweet presence that has gone from us, do we not all echo these inspiring lines of George Eliot? May I reach That purest heaven, be to other souls The cup of strength in some great agony, Enkindle generous ardor, feed pure love, Beget the smiles that have no cruelty. Be the sweet presence of a good diffused. And in diffusion even more intense, 80 shall I join the choir invisible. Whose music is the gladness of the world. Aunt Sub. I cannot say and I will not say That she is dead. She is just'away.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR grayer Meeting Topic Foe the Week

Beginning April 24, 1910. Topic.—Christ winning the world.—John

*11, 1942. Comment by Rev Sherman H. boyle, D. D.

The mission of Jesus Christ was to

win the world! “God so loved the

world that He gave His only begotten Bon.” He came first to the Jews and for the salvation of the jews, and yet before He had begun His worldwide mission the fact that this was to be

Its character was clearly set forth in

the Old Testament prophecies and sug-

gested by words and actions of His

own in His life upon earth. In re-

sponse to the faith of the Syropheni- clan woman He healed her daughter. At Jacob’s well He spoke of Himself as the Messiah to the Samaritan wom-

an and called forth the faith of the inhabitants of Sychar. In the lesson for our study He received certain Greeks who desired to see Him and declared upon their coming. “The hour is come that the Son of Man should be glorified." No doubt the request of the Greeks, who represented the gen- tiles. to see Him inspired this fatter- ance, for in the Jew and the gentile the people of the world were repre- sented. Then at the close of the dis- course, beginning with the words just quoted, He makes the deliberate dec- laration that His mission was world- wide. “I. if I be lifted up from the earth (crucified), will draw all (or all men) unto Me.” And why “all" if His mission had been limited to any one

nation or race of people? It was not

so limited. This is the only explana- tion of Christ's reception of the Greeks and His use of the word “all” in referring to the result that should follow His crucifixion upon the cross.

Our “hearts should burn within us" as we read these words of the Saviour, for we, being a part of the world's "all. are thus assured or ms willing- ness and power to save us.

The method by which Christ wins

the world is indicated in the words before us. To do so He was com-

pelled to take man's sins upon Him and die in his stead, thus atoning for him and making his salvation possible. “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me." This He said. John adds, “signifying what death He should die.” By His death on the cross, therefore. He would pay the penalty of man's sin and at the same time “draw all" unto Him. The attractive power of the cross is wonderful. He wins men. He draws them by His love, manifested by His death, and thus they put their trust in Him. accept Him as their substitute and are saved.

The cross is able to draw "all men." but unfortunately all men will not be drawn. Some have given up the aton-

ing character of Christ's death and look upon it simply as an example to men to reach moral transformation through the effect of Christ's death. Others prefer to give their lives up to sin, and the cross has no power to at- tract them. It often repels, for it speaks of the death of one who was

alnless, and they love sin. A third class are indifferent to the cross. They are so occupied with the things of time and sense that even the glory of the cross is lost sight of by them. But there is no fault in the cross. If one

is attracted and another is repelled the difference is in the persons themselves. The cross is ever and always the same. If It does not draw you It is your heart and your life that are

wrong, and they need to be changed, for you as well as all, being a sinner, need to be saved and can be saved through Christ alone.

Christ's part is done. He has been lifted up, and He is winning the world. How large the world once seemed, but how small it is today: Moreover, the advances of mankind are ever making it smaller. The op- portunity of Christ's winning the world is thus daily growing greater and brighter. But men to be won must see the cross. They must know the story of Jesus and His love. “How shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach except they be sent?” Sent of God. so far as their selection is concerned, but sent of man, so far as the opening up of their opportunity is concerned. Go or send. One of these two duties rests upon ev-

ery one of us. Not having gone, are

we sending? Are we giving and pray- ing that soul winners may be sent out the world over and win all men for Christ? If not we are failing in our

mission as Christians and in the duty of the saved toward the unsaved. Can we afford to reject or to disre- gard such plain duties divinely placed upon us?

Christian Endeavor prayer meeting is that of a candle meeting. All the lights will be put out except that on

the piano, which will be only a candle. After the leader has taken part he will light a candle that is on the table. Each Endeavorer will have a candle and a match, and after he has taken part he will light his candle (some- times from a neighboring candle or. If there is none near, then with the match). Gradually, as one after an-

Dear M. B*e: The poem may remind us that the quiet

home workers are tilling a most important ! and responsible place in the world. I often wish the mothers, with their families about them, though often wearied (almost to desperation) could realize what a great work is given into j their hands, and instead of lamenting be- j cause their sphere of influence is so

limited, see the possibilities and the 1

power which they may use for good. *‘D” will appreciate the prompt re-

sponse to her inquriy, and the additional recipes will be welcomed by many.

Dear Aunt JaadQe: There may be other answers to the request

of D. bat if not, you can use the following: Rhubarb Pudding — Place a layer of bread

crumbs in a buttered pudding dish, then a layer of rhubarb cut quiet fine, then sugar and nutmeg or other spice if liked. Repeat the layers till dish is full, and placing crumbs on top with bite of butter, pour a cup of water over all, and bake.

Tart apples may be used in place of rhu- barb and stale cake or cookies may be used with the bread crumbs. We like this served with

Vinegar Sauce—Mix one cup sugar with two tablespoonfuls flour and wet with little cold water; pour in boiling water, and cook; add butter, vinegar and salt to taste. Some like spice, too.

Rhubarb Pie—One and one-balf cuds rhu- barb, one-baif cup raisins, one table spoonful water, coo zed for a few minutes but not soft. Add one cup sugar, one cracker rolled fine or a tablespoonful flour, small bits of butter, salt, nutmeg or vanilla if liked.

Bread Pudding — Two cups fine bread crumbs warmed with one pint of milk; add two eggs beaten, salt, one-half cup sugar with one desert spoonful of cocoa mixed with it; bake; serve with cream.

Brown sugar sauce is new to me, but I like it with boiled rice.

Brown Sugar Sauce — Two table spoons butter, two of flour, one of cold water and one cup brown sugar; heat and stir till smooth, then add one pint boiling water and cook fifteen minutes. Favor with lemon or nut- meg.

Filled cookies have been well received by ! the sisters. Try filling them with dates or

or figs cooked till tender. We like jelly cookies. Use any good sugar cookie recipe, cut quite good size and place in pan, spread with jelley and cover with another of same

size. Moll.

One member who always looks for recipes to try, will, I hope, send us some

contributions in that line herself. She will know whom 1 mean.

The following from Susan will add to oar cooking department a pudding, but Aunt Madge doesn’t deserve the credit of the poem dedication. Susan, one of our

good nieces sent it in your behalf.

Pasadena, Cal., April 5,1910. Dear Aunt Madge:

1 think it very nice and thoughtful of you to dedicate to me so fine a poem as is “The Old Home". Please accept my thanks. It calls to my mind very vividly old home scenes, old country places and many a brook that I waded barefoot in my girlhood days; gates that I opened and swung on; the busy bee that I watched as it went from rose to rose

filling its little sacks with sweets; the drowsy noon hour when I lay upon my back on earth's soft green carpet, looking into the sky, amused with and taught by soaring bird and sailing cloud. It was long ago, and yet it seems it was but yesterday. Now I bear the wind whispering in the pines and murmur*

ings of brooks. The old lane is familiar and the flame of old love uneztinguished.

And now, to change the subject, I want to

say I have just got up from my dinner and I am going to tell you what we had for desert. It was an orange cottage pudding made by the following recipe;

Orange Cottage Pudding — One cup of flour, one-half cup of sugar, one teaspoonful of baking powder, yolks of two eggs, one-half cup of orange juice, grated rind of one orange, two tablespoonfuls of melted butter and one- half teaspoonful of salt. Serve with sauce made of one cup of orange juice and two- thirds cup of pulverized sugar. Mix juice and sugar and add when ready to serve the white of two eggs beaten stiff.

I hope you have the oranges; but if not, if you call around I will fill your apron full of nice ripe ones; and they will be large, so you can make a big pudding for your John. I know he will like it, for my John thinks it’s fine, and he knows.

Now, to change the subject again, I want to tell you of my roses that garland a jack- aranda tree. There are two of them, a Gold-

ONE CONDUCTOR WOO WAS CURED. Mr. Wilford Adams is his name, and he

I used two bottles of Foley’s Kidney Remedy with good effect, and the third bottle put me on my feet and I resumed work as conductor on the Lexington, Ky., Street Bailway. It gave me more relief than any medicine I had ever used, and it will do all you claim in cases of rheumatism. Foley’s Kidney Remedy cures rheumatism by eliminating the uric acid from the blood. G.

We are indebted to Ann for the rice

suggestion. NEW WAY OF COOKING KICK.

Rice should be served more as a vegetable, to be eaten with the meats and gravies, and as

a vegetable it should be so cooked as to be in individual grains when served and not held together by a moist, starchy mixture as a

cereal. Here is the recipe for cooking rice as

a vegetable. To one cup of rice use three quarts of water,

three level teaspoons of salt and one teaspoon of butter. Heat the water to boiling, add salt and butter, then add rice, letting it boil loudly so as to keep it in motion for twenty minutes; then drain and set in warm oven for five minutes to dry.

Another personal friend of Erne Stine writes in her memory:

Aitkin, Minn., April 4,1910. Dear Aunt Madge:

When The Amekican brought us news of the death of our brilliant, beloved sister. Erne Stine, I could only repeat: Why didn't I write her oftener? And then these lines came to my mind.

“Now is the time: ah, friend, no longer wait To scatter loving smiles and words of cheer

To those around whose lives may be so dear; They may not need you in the coming year.

Now is the time!”

I copied this in November to send our M. B. column, but just neglected sending it. In my last letter from Erne Stine she urged me to write more often to our M. B. column, and while she may never know it, I promise my- self, in memory of her faithful devotion to our column and work, to be more prompt in the future in responding to Aunt Madge’s appeals.

I change the pronoun in James Whitcomb Riley’s “Away”, and send it for our comfort, it is so beautiful. Remembering the strong, generous, sweet presence that has gone from us, do we not all echo these inspiring lines of George Eliot?

May I reach That purest heaven, be to other souls The cup of strength in some great agony, Enkindle generous ardor, feed pure love, Beget the smiles that have no cruelty. Be the sweet presence of a good diffused. And in diffusion even more intense, 80 shall I join the choir invisible. Whose music is the gladness of the world.

Aunt Sub.

I cannot say and I will not say That she is dead. She is just'away. With a cheerv smile and a wave of the hand She has wandered into an unknown land,

And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since she lingers there. And you—oh you, who the wildest yearn For the old-time step, and the glad return—

Think of her faring on, as dear In the love of There, as the love of Here. Think of her still as the same. I say. She is not dead—she is just away.
