It used to be said that bad cook
ing was turning Americans into a
nation of drunkards. It is our opin
ion that bad cooking has many more
crimes than that to answer for. It
is a contributing cause at least to
the general discontent which marks
our time, the crumbling of home
life, the activity of the divorce mill,
standards of youth and the decay of
chivalry. This age of freedom may
be a great one for women. It is a
poor one for the men. And since no
race can flourish half free and the
other half suffering indigestion, this
freedom Is taking a heavy toll of
women as welL What this country

"The gates of hell are not going to
prevail against Hig kingdom." You
know that when you start out on a
course with the feeling that it is go
ing to fail that you are defeated at
the start. Christ having all power,
and if you are a Christian and your
trust is in Him how can 50U fail in
anything that is right? Don't those
people who are always saying, "It
cannot be done." and "Young peo
ple are all going to the bad," and
"Wickedness is prevailing every-
J where," don't these people give you
the shivers? These people who are
always telling you how bad you are.
And in doing so make you feel that
you are out of their class. We must
recognize a sin and deal with it as
a horrible thing, but to be washed
out of the ?oul like you wash a stain
off your face, but not as though be
cause your face is dirty you cannot
regain a standing of decency by
washing it. Here is the statement
of a bov before the court in St.
! Louis on trial for a bad crime, "My
father always said I was no good.
Mother said I never amounted to
anything; the- school teacher said I
was of no account: even my home
town never expected me to be any
thing but a criminal. I wondered
why, for I was just like other boys.
The only creature that ever seemed
to understand and believe In me was
my dog, and since he died I've been
a bum." We must have confidence
in our young people. Bishop Keener
of Omaha said. "The reason we think
the youth of today are not as good
as in the past is that our ideal3 are
much higher than they used to be.
We expect more of them." In a de
bate between Oxford and Cambridge
in England this year, the question
they debated was, "Resolved that we
pity our grandchildren." That is a
fine question for the negative to win.
The children of today are far ahead
of those of three generations ago,
and so our grandchildren will be far
ahead of us. The very frank little
girl. who. after studying her grand
parents, remarked that "The Lord
must be turning out better work
now," was probably justified in her
conclusions. Our grandchildren will

I quarrel; no time for regrets, and no
man can make me stoop so low as to

Hughes usually speaks with fine fore
thought and he adds his viewpoint
I to this thought in these words:
"What does the Christian character
or balanced life mean? It is faith
without credulity; conviction with
out bigotry; charity without con
descension; courage without pugnac
ity; self respect without vanity; hu
miliation without obsequiousness;
love of humanity without sentimen
tality; and meekness without pow
er." If you want to know why Amer
ica is such a great people today, it
can be seen at a glance in its meek
ness as indicated by a little incident
that happened at our last inaugura
tion. Colonel John Coolidge, the
father of the president, who is a
deputy sheriff, wrote to his chief at
the county seat, that he would like
to be xcused for a week. He did not
mention that its purpose was to eee
his sen, Calvin, inaugurated. Can

f3ir. You might want to know the
why of Japan's glorious advance in!
the scale of civilization. I will as
sure you that meekness must have
had its part, for without it there
could be no such rise. And that
meekness is seen in a statement the
other day by one of their foremost
statesmen: "Believing as we do in
the ultimate triumph of love and tol
erance, it is our prayer that our
countrymen will not permit political
incidents, or disagreements between
the United States and Jspan to inter
fere with their appreiiation of all
that their best friend has done for
them. The first thing that is needed
in an hour like thi3 among us in
Japan is the spirit of penitence, the
spirit of prayer." The difference be
tween the greatness of America today
and that of Rome of yore, is the dif
ference of meekness. We think Cic
ero was Rome's greatest moralist.
And yet Cicero gloated over the
death of his rival Claudius, at the
battle of Bovillae and headed his let
tors by naming the number of days
after the death Claudius. That spirit
would cot be tolerated today, by our
meanest author. Can we not see
that difference in these words
"Proud Caesar came in strength

As horitape the relpn of

And again we are going to come
into this stable character of poise
and peace by coming unto the Christ
spirit of service unselfish. I read

We have ever given the character
of Rin Van Winkle the status of
j come for help
Many are torti
but they are asleep.
Many are tortured by the treason of
companions and crave a little sym
pathy, but these are asleep. There
is not a person that passes you on
the street or sits by you in class or
works with you in labor but if you
were awake to your power of service
you could bring some new joy to his
life. I like what I read one day:
"When folks get talking of one an
other instead of about each other,
you can always expect a better com
munity." Cornelius Vanderbilt has
started three newspapers, the pur
pose of which is that the news shall
be clean. No one slandered and life's
meanness shall not be paraded.
These papers are in Los Angeles and
San Francisco and Detroit. The pa
pers said they would never prosper
for the public demanded the sala
cious. In three weeks the Los An
geles Illustrated News had a circu
lation of over 200,000. He has done
a real service to the reading public.
The world is not saved today because
for 1500 years the church forgot that
word service. The church built up a '
Jsort of isolation expecting the people J
not want to take a darkey into the
church. But he returned and the
bishop said, "Well. Sam, what die
the Lord say? "Well, sah." said
I have been trying to get into that
church for many years and have not
succeeded yet." We must do some
thing for people to save them. A
boy had no money and could not go
He watched the other
.swim and he drove nails in a board
and helped him in other way, and in
of Canterbury wrote to William E
Gladstone, "Nothing has done the
church more harm than the bishopi
abandoning wigs. We have come tc

life has been a failure, you have
