Spiritual Food

Despair, Dr. Kuhn
Says in Sermon.
The world is now undergoing
Spiritual starvation. In the opinion of
Rev. Albert Kuhn, pastor of the
ilethany Presbyterian church, who
spoke on "Losing God" Sunday morn
ing. lie continued:
"The world ought to be full of
happiness. The old as well as the
young ought to be full of cheer and
’P' P' from 0 in the morning until 10
nt night and sleep like youngsters
the rest of the time.
"Hut when I look over a crowd I
notice to my regret that the light of
joy is missing on the faces of most
of my brothers and sisters. When I
t i.s.t folks In their homes I get stories
of troubles of all kinds, financial trou
bles, marital troubles, quarrels, sick
nosi, sad memories, dread of the fu
ture, dull apathy, hate, jealousy,
i nvy.
"What is the secret of this univer
sal black rust that seems to have
smitten the hearts of men? Why this
restlessness in the world, this univer
sal dread and talk of revolutions to
come, in Europe, in Asia and even
here in America?
No Dearth of Pastimes.
"It Is not a famine in things to eat
and things to wear, for all folks may
say or think. People eat better grub
and wear costlier outfits than ihe
• average man ever did in tli history
of tlie world, it i3 not that they
lack amusements, for where there
was one show for our fathers ihere
are now 5U for our generation.
"It is not the lack of health, for
we read that the average life in
America has been length' nod from •'!•'!
years to 49 years.
"It is not the rotten government
for we never had brighter and more
honorable men in congress and in
our legislatures than light now. Well,
then, what is it that gives mankind
^^(9the.se fevers and chills and spirlt
l^jal headaches?
"The ill at the root of these symp
toms is not what most people think it
is' it is neither the tariff, nor bolshev
ism, nor capitalism, nor prohibition,
nor Wall street, nor the republican
patty, nor the treaty of Versailles,
nor the low’ price of wheat.
World Spiritually Hungry.
"The root of this uneasiness ie
spiritual starvation; men and women
have lost God out of their lives; they
do not think of Him; they do not talk
to Him, they do not wait for Jlis still
voice in the recesses of their hearts.
"Let men and women find God, fear
Him, love Him, honor Him, serve
Him, and they will be rich though
poor, strong and happy in their soul
though weak of body, just, generous,
friendly, clean and vigorous.
"The fear of God is the beginning
of wisdom, says the good book. It is
also the beginning of good business,
good w ■ ;. good government, good
health, in short, good times.”

and Recreation Needs.
lly AMoriiitfd Press.
Cedar Rapids, la., Oct. 7.—Rev.
William L. Stidger, pastor of St.
Mark Methodist church of Detroit, Is
a baseball fan. For that matter, he
is enthusiastic over athletics of any
sort. He used to play halfback for
Alleghany college, and run the hun
dred in 10 flat—and not more than 15
years ago, either. Noyv he's the
head of one of the largest churches
in Detroit, a church whose- crowds
are so big that the police department
assigns two officers to stand before
its doors every Sunday night and reg
ulate the traffic.
Mr. Stidger has been lecturing at
the Upper Iowa conference of the
Methodist church at Marlon, which
concludes tomorrow. A big. broad
shouldered man, still several years
this side of 40, he looks more like a
varsity tackle than like a man who
is listed in "who's who" as the
author of eight books, a clergyman
who since his ordination in the Moth
odist Episcopal ministry in DJ14, has
hold charges in San Francisco, San
•lose and Detroit, and who when he
hasn't anything else to do, acts as
a special newspaper correspondent
all over the country for newspapers
of Detroit and other cities.
Dr. Stidger’s church in Detroit is
an institution notable throughout the
country—partly because it puts into
practice a number of features to
which the Method: t church organiza
tion is not Itself wholly committed.
St. Mark church is "an institu
tional church." It his the largest
gymnasium in Detroit. It is open
every day of the week, from 10 a. m.
until 11 p. in. It has bowling alleys
arul a roof garden. In 1923 10.000
people passed through its doors every
week, all of them to participate in
some feature of the institution's
work.
“And that's the only sort of church
which holds any promise for the
world today,” Mr. Stldger believes.
"It doesn't matter whether a
church Is in the heart of a big city
or at a country crossroad 50 miles
from the nearest town; it has equal
opportunity for being a real service
to those to whom it aims to minister,
and the church will either quit the
habit bf holding services one day a
week and barring its doors the other
six, or it won’t live to affect the com
munity in which it works.”
Kvery few months Rev. Mr. Stldger
goes to New York or Chicago, spends
several days seeing the best of the
current ploys, and returns to his
pulpit to give a series of ‘‘drama
sermons.” The evening services are
set aside for this series of sermons
one night each year. This last year
he treated from the pulpit John Gals
worthy's "Loyalties;” Capek's "R. U.
R.” and "The World We Live In;”
' Merton of the Movies,” and Chan
ning Pollock’s “The Fool."
In 1918 Rev. Stidger was in France,
driving truckloads of supplies and
ammunition along the Chateau Thier
ry front. Since then he'"'has been
around the world, writing human
interest stories for the Methodist cen
tenary movement.
He is the author of a book. Just
g?fi the press on Henry Ford, one of
his personal frit nds. whom he frank
ly “admires, respects and wants to
see elected president.”

"It’s the fish we caught last night,
baked potatoes, cress salad from

Atwaters, cream from our rented cow
real clover cream. Mrs, James says
[and biscuit. That’s all.”
| "Glory:" cried Mr. Winton. "Doesn't
' that thrill you? Let's head for the
tallest tamarack of the swamp and
then have a feast.”
On the opposite bank they rested a
i few minutes, then returned to dinner
Afterward, with Rogers rowing for
Mr. Winton, and Leslie for Douglas
they went bass fishing. When ths
boats passed on the far shore Leslie
and Duuglas had three, and Mr. Win I
tori five. Tills did not prove that he 1
was the better fisherman, only that |
he worked constantly; they lost much [
time in conversation which interested
them; hut as they enjoyed what they
nail to say more than the sport, while
Leslie only wished them to take the
fish they would use, it was their at
I tair. The girl soon returned to the
, Minuturns and secured a promts*
1 from Douglas that if Mr. Minturn
! talked with him, at least he would
say nothing to discourage his friend
; about the sincerity of his wife's mo
! lives. Leslie’s thoughts then turned
to the surprise Douglas had men ,
| tinned.
“Oh. that pretty girl?" he inquired I
. casually.
“Ye? Lily," she said. "Of course
Mickey took you t- see her! is stu
really a lovable child, and attractive? j
Could you get any idea of what is her
trouble?”
Douglas carefully reeleiL while look
ing at Leslie with a speculative smile. !
( “You refuse to consider an attractive 1
j young lady of greater beauty than 1
i have previously seen?" he queried.
"Absolutely! Don't waste lime on
I it," she said.
i "You'll have to begin again and
| nsk me one at a time." he laughed.
"What was your first?"
"Is she really n kjvable child?" re
peated Leslie.
"She most certainly Is." said Doug
las. "I could love her dearly. It's
plain that Mickey adores her. Why
when a hoy gives up trips to the
! country, the chance to pick up good
* money, in order to stand over, wash,
j ;md cook for a little sics girl, what is
[ he answer?"
“The one you have given—-that lie
idores her,” conceded Leslie. "Thi;
I next was, 'Is she attractive?’ "
"Wonderfully'" cried Douglas. "And
| what she would be in health with
, flesh to cover her bones and color
on her lips and cheeks is now only
dimly fot > shadowed.”
“Hhe must have her chance," said
Leslie. "1 was thinking of her today.
I'll go to see her at once and bring
Iter here. I will get the best surgeon
in Multiopolis to examine her and a
nurse if need be; then Mickey can
come out with you."
“Would you really, Leslie?” asked
Douglas.
"But why not?” cried she. "That's
one of the things worth while In the
world.”
"I’d love to go halvers with you."
proposed Douglas. “Let’s do It'
When will you go to see her?”
"In a few days.” sali|_ Leslie. “The
last one was, 'Could you get an Idea
of what is the trouble?’ ”
"Very little," said Douglas. “She
enn sit up and move her hands. He
Is teaching her to read and write.
Hhe had her lesson very creditably
copied out on her slate. Hhe prac
tisrs in his absence on poems Mickey
makes."
"Poems?" * t
“Doggerel." explained Douglas. 1
“Four lines at a time. Some of It Is '
pathetic, some of it is witty, some of 1
it presages possibilities. He may I
make a poet. She requires a verse '
each evening, so he recites it. then
writes it nut. and she uses it for ■
copy the next day. The finished prod- 1
uct Is to have a sky-blue cover and 1
he decorated either v-ith an English 1
sparrow, the only bird she has seen,
or a cow. She likes milk, and the t
pictures of cows give her an idea that I
she can handle them like her doll-”
"Oh Douglas!" protested Leslie.
"I believe she thinks a whole herd
of cows could be kept on her bed. ,
while she finds them quite suitable ■
to decorate Mickey's volume," said
Douglas.
"Whjk. hasn't she seen anything at
all?"
"She has been on the street twice In ,
her life >hat she knows of," answered
Douglas. "It will be kind of you to
take her. and cure her if it can bo
done, but you'll have to consult
Mickey. She is his find, so he claims ,
her. belligerently, [ might warn you!"
"Claims her! Ho has her?" marvel
led Leslie.
“Surely! In his room! On his bed!
Taking care of her himself, and doing ^
a mighty fine lob of it! Pest she ever (
had I am quite sure," said Douglas.
"But Douglas!" cried Leslie In ,
amazement.
“ 'But me no huts,' my lady!" warn- r
ed Douglas. "I know what you would r
say. Save it! You can't do anything
that way. Mickey is right. She is t
his. He found her in her last ex- t
tremlty, in rags, on the floor In a dark l
corner of an attic. He carried her t
home in that condition, to a clean
bed his mothef left him Since, he
has been her gallant little knight,
lying on the floor on his winter bed
ding, feeding her first and most, not
a thought for himself. Ood, Leslie'
I don’t stand for anything coming be
tween Mickey and his child, his 'fam
ily' he calls her. He's the biggest ,
small specimen I ever have seen. I'll
fight his cause In any court In the
■ ountry, if his right to her is ques*
tinned, as it will be the minute she is
taken to a surgeon or a hospital.”
"How old is she?" asked Leslie.
"Neither of them knows. About 10.
1 should think.”
"How has he managed to keep her
hidden this long?”
"He lives in an attic. The first
woman he tried to get help from
started the Home question, and fright
ened him: so he appealed to a nurse
he met through being connected with
an accident: she gave him supplies. In
structions and made Lily gowns."
"But why didn't she-?" began
Leslie.
"She may have thought the child
was his sister." said Douglas. "She's
the loveliest little thing. Leslie!"
"Very little?" asked Leslie.
"Tiny is the w-ord.” said Douglas.
"It's the prettiest sight I ever saw to
watch him wait on her, and see her
big. starved, scared eyes follow him
with adoring trust."
"Adoration on both sides, then."
laughed Leslie. •
"You Imply I’m selertlng too big
words,"" said Douglas., "Walt till you
see her. and see them together.”
"It's a problem!" said Leslie.
"YeR. I admit that!” conceded Doug
las. "hut It isn't your problem."
"But they can’t go on that way!"
cried Leslie.
"I grant that," said Douglas. "All I
stipulate Is that Mickey shall he left
to plan their lives himself, and In a
way that makes him happy."
"That's only fair to him!" said Les
lie.
"Now you are grasping and nsslrnl
latlng the situation properly," corn
niented Douglas.
When thov returned to the cabin
they found Mr. Winton stretched In a
hammock smoking. Douglas took a
blanket and Leslie n cushion on the
steps, while all of them watched the
moon pass slowly across Atwater.
"How are you progressing with the
sinners of Multiopolis?" asked Mr.
Winton of Douglas.
"Fine!” ho answered. "I'vs found

CHAPTER XIII.
A Safe Proposition.
When Mickey posted his letter, In
deep thought he slowly walked home.
That night his eyes closed with a feel
ing of relief. lie was certain that
when Peter and his wife and children
talked over the plan he had suggested
they would be anxious to have such
a nice girl as Lily in their home for
a week. He even went so far as the
vague thought that if they kept her
until fall, they never would he able
to give her up. and possibly she could
remain with them until he could learn
whether her back could be cured, and
make arrangements suitable for her.
in ills heart he felt sure that Mr.
Jtruce or Miss Leslie would help him
take care of her, but he had strong
objections to them. He thought the
country with its clean air, birds, flow
ers and quiet the best place for her: if
he allowed them to take her, she
would be among luxuries which would
make all he could do unappreciated.
"She wasn't born to things like
that; what's the use to spoil her with
them?" he argued. "Course they
haven't spoiled Miss Istslie, but she
wasn't a poor kid to Rtart on, and
she has a father to take care or her,
and Mr. Bruce. Lily has only me
and I'm going to manage my family
myself. Pretty soon those nice folks
will come, and if she likes them, may
be I'll let them take her 'til It's
cooler."
Mirkey had thought they would
come soon, hut he had not supposed It
would he the following day. He went
downtown early, spent some time
driling his protege in the paper busi
ness, and had the office ready when
Douglas Bruce arrived an hour late.
During that hour. Mickey’s call came
lie made an appointment to meet Mr
and Mrs. Peter Harding at Marsh &
Jordan's at 4 o'clock.
“Peter must have wanted to see her
so had he quit plowing to come.” com
mented Mickey, ns he hung up the re
i ner. "He couldn't have finished
that field last night! They're Just
crazy to see Lily, and when they do.
they'll he worse yet; hut of course
they wouldn't want to take her fi|om
me, ’cause they got three of their
own. I guess Peter is the safest prop
osition T know Course he wouldn't
ever put a little flowersy girl in any
old Ohphlngs' Home. Sure he
wouldn't! He wouldn't put his own
there, course he wouldn't mine"’
"Mickey, what do you think!"' nsked
Dougins as he entered. "I've moved
to the country!”
Mickey stared. Then came his slow
comment: “Gee! The cows an' the
clover gets all of us”'
"I can heat that.” said Douglas
"I'm going to live beside a lake where
I can swim every night and morning,
and catch big bass, and live on straw
berries from the vines and cream
straight from the cow-”
"1 thought you'd get to the cow
before long."
"And you are Invited to go out with
me ns often as you want to, and you
may arrange to have Lily out too!
Won’t that be fine?"
