EASY TO ERR
JUST had a letter of inquiry from an anxious wife in a neighboring
** state; she is anxious about her 66-year old husband Somebody told
her to write me.
, He had what is known as a "stroke" nearly one year ago. Was
1< the hospital four weeks immediately following the unfortunate
tollapse. and, has been in bed "most of the time ever since." Can
only hobble around with crutches and with two helpers besides.
This man evidently had a hemorrhage in the brain. One ol his
inns hangs helpless at his side ? the nerves paralyzed. Such things
are classified usually under the heading of "Nervous Diseases," though
tbey may be broken-down blood-vessels
The great error: If this man had heeded certain warnings, such as
high blood-pressure ? and maybe rapid increases in bodily weight ?
and if he had just kept iti touch with his physician and had his diet
carefully supervised ? he might not have had this serioos condition to
battle with. But men will push on and on. . . .
Another error: This man must have had good treatment while
{? the hospital ? but expenses were prohibitive; he went home, and,
then began the experiment ? with a bone-adjuster! Adjusting the bones
for a broken blood-vessel inside the cranial cavity! Probably no bone
of his entire osseous system was out of place!
This man had a blood-clot in the brain-tissue. By this time it has
become "organized" into living tissue and exerts its constant pressure
on the center governing the arm. Why manipulate the bones below
the head?
Many, many times, efforts put forth with the best of motives are
time and money wasted. No care for the "stroke" now. Simply watch
intelligently to keep off another stroke ? all we can do.
4-H CLUE NEWS
( THEY DONT APOLOGIZE
I Apologies have no place in the
conversation of the New Hamp
shire 4-H girl when she entertains
Visitors or friends at tea or other ;
occasions. She doesn't make them
because she knows she doesn't hare
to. These are among the valuable
things she learns in her training,
according to the annual report on
club work -for that state. And what
a happiacss this confidence brings
her.
, What a relief it must be to thesf
girls' mothers not to have to an
?wer questions over and over as to
where this or that dish or article
iKlongs. How to set a table is one
of the first things the girls are
?oght in their club work. Then it
ems to*come natural to want to
^now how to act at a properly set
tabic, so good manners come in for
? place in the training. Likewise
how to serve and eat a meal. And '
Ithev don't look on these things as 1
putting on airs", because they learn I
that there is a good reason back of
all the little niceties which should
be practiced at a table.
Along with these things the girls
learn how to select the foods to
suit the needs of a family and an
occasion, then how to prepare them
and lastly to serve them. How
capable these girls are is shown in
the report on food preservation.
They canned an average of 103
quarts of vegetables, fruits and
meats, or sufficient to carry an aver
age family thorugh most of a winter.
Besides this, 1760 girls reported
making 13,735 items of clothing and
a large number improved their
rooms through papering, painting,
changing the color scheme and re
pairing and rearranging furniture.
Baking, health and many other pro
jects eni^aged the attention of many.
Altogether the projects of these
girls during the year was valued at
over (20.000.00. New Hampshire
will not need to worry about its
future homes and husbands with
such girls to engineer them.

LESSON
Vy Rev Charles E. Dunn
Elijah Hears God" s Voice.
Lesson for July 22nd. 1 Kings
19:9-21.
Golden Text: 1 Samuel 3:9.
Our lesson tells of Elijah's re
covery from despondency. First ?i
uigel commanded, "Arise, and eat."
The worn out body of Elijah
needed tne re
freshment of food.

Then the Lord

question, "What
doest thou here,
In. Da l Dm
EJijanf" mere was important
work for the prophet to accomplish
A discouraged man usually needs
not less work but more. The I
prodigal son, in his degradation,
doubtless heard a query much like
that hurled at Elijah. And he
answered by going back to his old
home, and getting to work. John
Bright, famous English statesman,
heard a similar inquiry as he
(nourned the loss of his beautiful
young wife. It came to him in the
appeal of Richard Cobden who
?rged him to give his life to the
repeal of the unjust corn laws.
And now the divine voice spoke
a third time. "Go forth," it said,
"and stand upon the mount." How
important it is to ascend to an ele
vation where one may see the broad
horizons' of God's providence! It
was from a mountain that Moses
looked into the Promised Land.
And when Elijah had ascended, !
an altogether extraordinary spec
tacle met his gaze. Magnificent
displays of physical power greeted
his astonished eyes. But God,
amch to the prophet's surprise, was j
rot in the wind, or the earthquake,
or the fire. He spoke, instead in 4
still small voice. And so Elijah I
learned that the Lord can sneak 1
softly, as well as loudly, peacefully,]
as well as in the storm. a
Do we hear the dulcet tones ol I
the divine appeal? Do we allow
the Lord to enter the citadel of out !
affections on a wave of stillness?

ST. PAWS EPISCOPAL
CTHUKCH
(By Rev. Frank E. Pulley)
In the fourth cfhapUt; o( SL
Paul'* lattar to tha Oalatlani ha
writes: "It la good to be zeal
ously affected in ? good thing."
There la * well-warn but never
to ba worn oat J>lt of wisdom to
tha effect that whatever your
band flndj Jo dp, you should $0
it with all your might. The man
who is earnest will accomplish
more with halt the truth and only
one talent than the man who is
indifferent will accomplish with
the whole truth and ten talents.
People who tall, nine times oat
of ten. are those who hare mads
"a halfway covenant" with life.
They hare divded the force of
their energies so that the whole
strength of the man never goes
into any act, whereas it should go
into every act. whether it be the
driving of a nail or the ruling of
a country.
I am told that a power-house
switchboard has two kinds of
registers. One kind measures
what is called the amperage, or
amount of electricity, and the
other measures the voltage or in
tensity of it. Light comes not
from the amount, as at any giv
en time, the amount might hap
pen to be large or small but the
light depends upon the intensity,
which must be kept at the light
ing point. It is something like
this with persons. Ability may
be great or small, but a man's
earnestness makes his life what
ever It la. His earnestness is his
voltage.
When Jesus told his disciples
"Ye are the light of the world",
He did not refer to any great
amount of truth they possessed,
for they were unlettered and ig
norant men, but He referred to
the earnest way they held what
truth they did have.
History shows that the most
potent force in every great move
ment Is not the tramp of armies
or the decrees of cabinets and
councils, but the moral earnest
ness behind some purpose in the
heart of an individual man. That
is the way in which Confucius
hss ruled China, the Buddha has
ruled Qreece, and Jesns Christ Is
to rule the world. Paul was
known as a tent-maker, Peter as
a fisherman. Columbus as a sail
or, Luther as a monk. Cromwell
as a farmer; but all of them were
mighty in many realms of ac
tivity. We frequently think we
need more truth, when what we
really do need is more earnest
ness in using the truth we al
ready have.
