NO wonder the poets since time im

Joves so well. V '
But there we go raving ourselves.
Gaze upon, the pretty blossoms in the

Thing's of Interest at
The Methodist Church
On Sunday morning May 20th, Ref.
B. C. Reavis, pastor at the Methodist
Church read for the morning lesson
the story of Philip, the deacon and
the Etheapian Eunoch, and the text
was Philip's answer to the Church
when he asked for an explanation of
the 'scripture he had been reading
"Then Philip opened his mouth and
began at the same scripture, and
preached unto him Jesus."
Mr. Reavis said that Philip was not
an ordained preacher, but only lay
man, one of the Twenty chosen to
administer the business of the church,
but being a man filled with the Holy
Ghost he was ready not only to lopk
after the financial interest of the
church but to use every opportunity
to testify for Jesus and to answer any
call that he felt came from God. So
even though he felt he was doing a
great work in the church at Sam
aria being i the midst of a great re
vival, he obeyed without question the
voice of the Angel of the Lord, who
bade him "Arise and go toward the
south unto the way that- goeth down
from Jerusalem unto Garia, which is
desert." Mr. Reavis said according
to man's judgement it would seem
a foolish thing to leave a place where
he knew he was being of great serv
ice to go into the desert for he knew
not what ouroose but his faith in
God was so great that "he arose and
went."
Mr. Reavis pictured the meeting of
Philio and the eunuch who was a
man of authority in Ethopia, having
charge of all the queens treasure, and
who had been down to Jerusalem to
worship and was returning in his great
chariot reading the scripture. He
spoke of the courage it took to ap
proach this great man on a suhject
that was unpopular enough to cause
Stephen to be stoned to death, and
the Church so persecuted that the
disciples were "scattered abroad."
Philip not only obeyed the sugges
tion that he "join himself to the
chariot" but with great zeal "he ran
thither, entered the chariot and
"preached unto him Jesus." The re
sult' was that the Ethopians hungry
heart was satisfied and "went on his
way rejoicing."
Mr. Reavis stated that nothing ever
just happens, but that just as God
planned. the meeting of these two for
a good and great purpose, so he plans
every life, and if we are only obedi
ent to his call, his purposes may be
worked ut in our lives for our good
and the advancement of his King
dom. ,
He made plain the . difference be
tween preaching Jesus and preach
ing about Jesus. He said that almost
anyone, who knew anything of the
history of Jesus could preach about
him, but that it required a personal
knowledge of him to -preach Jesus,
that it was because Philip knew Jesus
personally that he was able to preach
so powerfully revealing God's Holiness,
the awfulness of sin and bods con
ception of man, thus bringing men to
desire holiness, to repent "of sin, and
to strive ti live up to God's conception
when he created man in his own im
age and deemed him worthy of the
gift of his only son.
Mr. Reavis closed by saying that
just as God sent Philip to preach Jesus
He has sent us to preach Him,
through or daily lives if not from
the pulpit. -
At the evening service the book of
Daniel was cited to show how the
game of life may be played according
to the rules. The story of the
Hebrew children, Shadrack, Meshack
and Abcdhego was told; and their
courae-e in standing up for their prin
ciples in spite of deaht in the fiery
furnace, threatening them, was made
to stand out in bold relief against a
background of the cringing cowardly
subjects of Nebuchadnezzar bowing
before the golden image.
It was shown how playing the. game
of life according to the rules laid down
in God's word and lived out inlife of
Christ was always a success in the
highest sense of the word though of
ten considered a failure as the world
counts, success, and his congregation
was exhorted not to play the game
for the trivial fleeting prizes that the
world could bestow, but to play for
the prize of the high calling of God in
Christ Jesus ; "'''"'

NEW BEACON REPLACES
"OLD MAN OF THE SEA"

Save the early. pul!ct.
Latest Light at Cape Henlopen
is turned on and off by sun ;
old keeper loses job.
IIL sea gained only a
hollow victory when
historic Cape Henlopen
Lighthouse, which the
British built at the
II J ! mouth of Delaware Bay
! J ' I I in 176S. succumbed re
cently to wind and tide
and toppled into the
.arms of its ancient enemy. -V
The government had foreseen the
destruction of the old light and had
erected a new steel lighthouse
equipped with a carbide gas or acety
lene light which works automatically,
turning itself off at dawn and on
again when the sun goes down. -The
old keeper lost his job, for the new
light does not need a keeper, and is
only visited twice a year to replenish
the fuel.
The passing of the old landmark,
the second oldest beacon in America,
will be regretted by all mariners, who
knew it as the "Old Lfan'of the Sea."

Originally Cape Henlopen" light
burned fish oil. Sperm oil from the
whale was later used until it became
00 expensive, and then at various
times colza oil, lard oil and kerosene.
The use of kerosene was abandoned
for a time in all lighthouses when the
Lighthouse Board in 1875 hesitated
"to endanger lives of employes and
valuable property by placing mineral
oil at. points from which keepers,
could not escape in case of accident"

Old liglithouae at Cape Henlopen
which ha toppled into the sea after
160 year) of service; it was built
by the British in 1765.
In recent years the government has
equipped many of its lichthouses with-.
carbide gas, the system of lighting-..
employed in many farmhouses.
throughout the land. The gas is gen
crated automatically and the light
turns on and off night and morning
by the operation of a sun valve. The?
system was' first tried successfully in
1902 in Mobi'e Harbor ship channel,
where eleven lights were installed and ,
are still in operation.
Nearly all important lighthouses are .
now lighted by. carbide gas, either
compressed in tanks or generated! '
automatically. By avoiding the ex
pense of keepers, the government is
able to operate many more lighthouses-
than was previously possible. Until
this- method was adopted practically
the whole of the Alaskan Coast had.
been left unprotected. The same sys
tem is also used along the 44 mile
of the Panama Canal.
One of the most famous lighthouse
of modern times is on Richardson's-
Rock, 200 feet above the water,' at
the Santa Barbara Islands, off Cali
fornia. It is lighted by the carbide
gas system and flashes every three
seconds during the night Since its -,
installation m 1912, it is estimated to
have 'flashed more than 70,000,000
times-without failure.. '

Quick and Palatable
Lunches for School Children
liS.il WUrn
SCHOOL" nurses find that many
children from excellent home3
are undernourished. Investigation
proves that they are too hurried to
eat properly. . The problem of the
mother fs how to .make' the most
of the lunch hour tor the children.
First, she should choose those
nourishing dishes that are easily
prepared so that the meal will be
on time. .The loss of a few min
utes matters less than the impatience
of the child, which makes him un
able to digestffood well. -Second,
the meal should be
, cerved simply, , preferably in one
course, and not many dishes, so
there " will ' be little distraction or
lost motion. . ;
In achieving punctuality, canned
foods arc the mother's best friend.
They are certain to be well done.
As the rough work has already been
done, more time can be put on
making the dish palatable and 'at
tractively served an important
point, and the mother can greet the
child unfatigued and unhurried. ;
. Suggested vegetable dishes are:
stewed tomatoes, seasoned with but
ter and served' on toast, or on but- ' .'
tered bread; canned spinach, can
red stringless beans, canned sauer-
fcrant. Ihese vegetables are excel
lent for children because of their .
vitamins and the iron m the green
Vegetables. . .
Children like spinach if it is served "E
in a variety of attractive ways. .
Almost any cook-book lists sev

aui aircaoy cieanea and cooked has
surely time to chop, cream and ar-.
range it prettily garnished or com
bine it with cheese for timbales. .
Cheese is a 'protein food and is
unusually; 'rich in lime and phos
phorus, hence very good for chil
dren. Tinned varieties can be kept
on hand without waste. .-;
Spaghetti " and Boston - brown
bread both come in cans and make
Substantial lunches. Fresh milk,
hot chocolate malted milk are ex- ",

prepared both for appetizers and fof
nourishment. '
