PAGE 6 THE TORCH] A department conducted For The Warren County Memorial Library By MABEL DAVIS The Librarian > * We are sorry to have denied you the pleasure of reading "The Torch" last week, but we had to lift Miss Mabel's enjoyable column in order to make room for an advertisement.? Editor. New Books Recent purchases included "Old Wine and New," Warwick Deeping; "Return I Dare Not," Margaret Kennedy; "The Challengers," Grace Livingston Hill; "Mulberry Square" by Lida Larrimcre came to the library through the courtesy of Miss Melissa Coleman. That, also, is a new book by a popular author. There is no book fund at present x frnm finps" other than mat ucuvcu From that source, which is never large, must also ccme the supplies necessary to put books in readiness for circulation and material used in repair work. These are not small items and borrowers are usually careful to return books cn time. Fifty-Fifty Club A book fund amounting to twentyf.ve dollars a month could be created to supply new books from May ;o October?the five months intervening before funds from other sources should become available for that purpose, if fifty persons interested in the library will volunteer to give fifty cents a month to that end. That plan was discussed in the library one afternoon and the half dozen persons present each gave it approval and volunteered to join the club. I can think cf no larger returns for so small an investment, only $2.50 in all?the price of one new novel. Jn return one has the privilege of reading many of the season's best books. If you feel inclined to lend a hand and become a member of the Fif tyFifty Club you may do so, becoming a charter member on payment of fifty cents. Ha to otr to the Ae-riciiltural Class The librarian is indebted to Mr. Bright and the Agricultural Class of the John Graham High School for the addiiion of two new book cases, thus relieving the congestion at the library. Their kindness and skill have been complimented by all who have observed their work. Class of '32 The graduating class of the John Graham High School?in appreciation of the fine bocks supplied them by this library?they said, called in a body to present a beautiful copy . of "Everybody's Washington," a new biography by A. A. Knipe. The library is indebted to the senior history class and their teacher, Miss Katherine Taylcr, for this timely addition. Other Appreciated Gifts A neighbor noting an empty coal bin just before the weather became pleasant enough to discard fires, sent home for coal enough to carry the library through the lcng season in May and as much more cold weather as we are likely to have. Another returned a dollar bill with his books, "for repairs," he said. The library is also indebted to Miss Edna Allen for a check fcr $5.00. Books for the International Mind Alcove New additions to the Mind Alcove are Alice Curtis Desmond's "Far Horizons" (Africa, Europe, The Orient and South America), and Paul Cohen-Portheim's "England, the Unknown Isle." The latter Is one of the most interesting books I have read about that interesting country. The author, a Hungarian, was studying in England when hostilities began in 1914. Though he became to some degree a prisoner of war he was in no way embittered by his enforced sojourn. His evaluation of the Britisher, his manners, customs etd., is regarded by the English themselves as a true one.

Young readers may get very clear ideas of child life in Arabia, France, Germany, Italy, and Sweden, from the books listed: "Awisha's Carpet," Martin; 'Jean and Fanchon," Olcott; "Milly and her Village," Leham; "Nicolina," Brann; "Building a House in Sweden," Cautley. "The World cn a Farm," Warner, is more general. The scenes of the stories in that book are located some in Africa, others in China, India and Syria.

Marmaduke Items We had a very severe hail stcrm for a few moments last Sunday night, although it didn't do much damage if any. Several from this section attended the commencement iat Warrenton Monday night, the building was packed to over flowing. There were so many visitors in the home of Mr. H. C.

In a letter to Secretary Ogden e L. Mills the man, Charles P. 1 Thompon, cf Philadelphia, said he 1 would send the money at once if the government would accept it. He added he had given every 'dollar I had" to aid the United States during the World War and wishes to do his share to help his government now. Mr. Mills told Mr. Thompson there was no law under which the government could borrow the funds. "I find difficulty in expressing in adequate terms the government's deep appreciation cf the splendid spirit of patriotism which has prompted your proposal," he said. Object To 'Hayseed* .. Movie Appearance ? CHICAGO, April 27.?When it ] comes to movie heroines, farmers j favor those with ccrh-fed curves v and they want big, husky he-men j heroes. This has been determined 1 by the photoplay staff of the Amer. 1 ican Farm Bureau Federation. ? They also want their movie char- f acters dressed as farmers actually do and not after the fashion of the ? ' traditional hayseed.

And the God that answereth by fire, let him be God.?I Kings 18:24. Ahab was king of Israel and a jood church member so far as for.nality goes; but he couldnt see why religion should beb allowed to inter, fere with business. So, as a ruler, re did what big- business wanted iim to do. His kingdom was foundid by Jeroboam who rebelled igainst Solomon's son on account )f high taxes and persuaded 'ten of he twelve tribes of Israel to make iim their king on a platform of eform and eccnomy. He listened ,o a few that were immensely rich ind made two golden calves, and &id: "Behold thy gods, O Israel, vhich brought thee out of the land >f Egypt." So his political religion or awhile sustained his throne. But the time came when that \ lolicy was no longer successful, [he people were still disobedient, thob's foreign alliances had made , iim stronger than ever. Then came , he word of prophesy. Elijah stood >efcre the King and said. "As the jord liveth before whom I stand, < here shall not be dew, nor rain j hese years, but according to my ( vord." Clear as a bell, as definite ls a black sheep on a field of snow, , he challenge rang out In the ears , >f the startled king.

Carmel the 450 prophets of Baal and the 400 other heathern pr .ests When they met Elijah announced to 'the multitude of people who had come, that he alone remained a prophet of Jehovah, and that he had met the crowd of heathern priests to prove the true God in whom alone can be found present and eternal satisfaction. Two altars were built and two offering.', provided. The test was fire in answer to prayer to consume the sacrifice. Only Elijah's prayer was answered and the people fell on th'jir faces and said, 'the Lord, He is God; the Lord, He is the God." Even the headstrong blir dness of mankind could resist no longer. They confessed the truth, but the nation soon slid again into idolatry. It is hard for men to give up the vain struggle for wealth and power. Christ or Caesar is the issue today. Japan backs the prcphets of Baal. Gandhi teaches that spiritual things are more lasting lhan the things of the body. At Geaeva^the disarmament conference meets but not in the spirit of Christ's gospel of overcoming evil with good. In our own land and time elections are bought and the honor of the nation besmirches. Persons are abducted and held for ransom, rhere is an underworld of criminals without wholesome fear of the law. rhere are gunmen who live by killing and robbing with no fear of God before their eyes. The styles have changed, in idol worship. The golden calf bas given way to the dollar mark. Baal has iLscarcTed his wooden iiriige >and taken a mansion on Fifth Avenue. Bacchus does business wi ;h bootleggers and is worshipped, in the rich man's collar. But undsr whatever guise, the old idols of the b uman heart still holds sw? ^.Multitudes still bow down and worship ;hem. The God that answers by fire 71 list be our uoa, or trie present ae. oression will become desolation and ruin. To think differently is to disregard scripture and the ?iistovy if the past.
