IS TEMPERATURE TASTE?
THE little boy who asked to have
his Ice cream warmed was at
least aware that temperature is
very closely related to flavor, even
though he didn’t know that warm
ice cream wouldn’t be ice cream
at all. Epicures have long been
aware that the temperature at
which food is served is almost as
important as the manner in which
it is cooked. The Romans, known
for the magnificence of their ban
quets, brought snow from the dis
tant Alps to chill certain choice
dishes, and the connoisseurs of
all lands look carefully to the
temperature of their rare vinta
ges.
A good cook knows that proper
temperature is half the battle, and
so serves her dishes piping hot or
icy cold, and woe be to the belated
guest whose loitering has turned a |
blazing hot steak to a leathery
lukewarmness, or a crisp, cold
salad to a tasteless mess.
• The last scorching days of sum
mer lose half their terrors if one
can sit down to a table laden with
cold dishes. A cool salad, or a
frozen dessert are as bracing as a
mountain breeze, or a dip in the
ocean. Try some of these recipes
for tonight’s dinner.

A LETTER FROM CHINA
C. P. O. Box No. 1234, Shanghai,
Chinn, Sept. Ist, 1931.
Dear Editor:
I am writing this letter for the
boys and girls who read your excel
lent paper. I hope it reaches you
in time for your Christmas edition:
Denr Friends of Santa Claus:
As it is almost Christmas, let me
tell you a bit about Christmas in
China. Do you think the Chinese
hava a happy Christmas? I seldom
hear the Chinese say anything about
a Happy Christmas. “Happy?” they
would say, “Happiness is not on
earth.” They do not know of Jesus'
becoming a little boy, of the star in
the East, of the wise men, or of the
angels’ song. They know nothing of
all the happiness and peace that
Jesus brought. The children have
no Christmas tree and no Santa
Claus. They do not hang up their
stocking on Christmas Eve. If they
did, poor things, their stockings
would be so full of holes that a pres
ent would fall right through. In
deed, many little “China Chink”
boys and girls do not have a stock
ing “to their name.”
Sometimes on Christmas Day, I j
feel like taking these people all up j
into my arms and telling them of,
Jesus, and then getting a great j
Christmas tree, big enough to hang
five hundred million presents upon
it, have some candles and other pret
ty things to make it look attractive,
and then carry the people in, and, as
Papa does with baby, let them see
their first Christmas tree.
But think what a big Christmas
tree that would require! And think
how much money it would take to
give each of these poor people a toy,
a red and white stick of candy, and
an orange! More money than is
spent in a year for missions to
China! And think what a big house
it would require to hold these peo
ple! So I cannot take them up in
my arms; but I can take them up
in the arms of prayer and carry
them to our Christmas Jesus, and
ask Him to give them each a present
better a thousand times than toys,
fruits and candy. And you can pray
with me, that these Chinese girls and
boys may have a part in that great
Christmas tree “whose leaves are
for the healing of the nations ■
that Jesus may take the Chinese all
up into His arms and bring them to
His Christmas home, which' is big
enough for all.
You can do more than pray. You
can show that you want your prayers
answered. You can help answer
them by giving. You can give
Christmas gifts of dimes and dollars
to send the Gospel to your brothers
and sisters in China. I hey i (.ally
are your brothers and sisters. Even
the unsaved Chinese learned men
have said, “All on earth are broth
ers.” How much better can we,
who love Jesus, say the Chinese are
our brothers, and then act as though
we truly regarded them so. I know
that when Christmas comes near, you
say to yourself, “Now, 1 must get a
present for Charlie and Willie and
Mary and Papa and Mamma.” You
would feel very much disappointed
if you could not give each one at
least a little present. Now, next
Christmas, just remember that you
have other brothers and sisters who
need a Christmas gift, and give them
a share of your spending money. Do
you think you can do that? In the
next Christmas missinary offering in
your church give them at least
enough to buy a small Bible. Is that
asking too much of you for your
brothers and sisters in China?
May Santa Claus visit you all, and
give you a Merry Christmas, and
Blessed, Prosperous New Year.
Yours in the Christmas Saviour,
(Rev.) H. G. C. Hallock.
REASONS FOR AUTO ACCIDENTS
The Athens Banner-Herald lists
the following as some of the reasons
for auto accidents:
“Young children, who have not
reached the gge for safe and careful
driving, are allowed free rein with
these machines. Intoxicated men are
to be found driving machines all
over the country any day in the
year and the laws do not seem to
reach them and prevent them from
performing this work for which they
are incapacitated by drink. Reck
less drivers who take foolhardy
chances to get by with a dash and
save a few minutes of time at the
expense of human life. Those who
will not observe the laws and the
correct rules for driving. Road
hogs, who insist on monopolizing the
road at all times and never give an
inch to the other fellow. Senseless
drivers v/ho always take the inner
side of the curve, even if they take
up the left-hand side of the road.
Fools who try to pass machines at
the top of the hill when they cannot
possibly tell who is coming upon the
other side of the hill. ’
CELEBRATE 54TH WEDDING
ANNIVERSARY
(From Benton, Ark., Courier)
On Sunday, September 20, Mr.
and Mrs. W. H. Bennett celebrated
their fifty-fourth wedding anniver
sary at the family home on First
street. A buffet supper was served
on the spacious lawn to thirty guests,
composed of children, grandchildren
and great-grandchildren. Those
from out of town were Mrs. Addie
Worthen, Mr, and Mrs. Jesse Mc-
Aninch and children, Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Bennett, Mr. and Mrs. Erie
Elrod, Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Byrd,
Nancy Lee Byrd, Billy Byrd, Carroll
Buffington. Other guests were: Mrs.
Almina Bennett, Mrs. Myrtle Cun
ningham, Miss Boyce Chambers, Mr.
and Mrs. Earl Dunnahoo and chil
dren, Adele and Pat, Mr. and Mrs.
Robert Lambeth and daughter, Ann,
Dr. and Mrs. T. E. Buffington.
Mr. and Mrs. Rennett are both
natives of Georgia, having come
here with their parents from differ
ent parts of that state at the ages of
seventeen and ten, respectively.
They have lived in and near Benton
for over sixty years. Last year they
made their first return visit to their
mother state. Riding in an automo
bile over paved highways, was quite
different from the "covered wagon”
route they formerly traveled.
The many friends of this beloved
couple congratulate them on having
passed another milepost on life’s
highway and wish for them many
returns of this happy day.
“Beyond the sunset’s radiant glow,
There is a brighter world I know;
Beyond the sunset we shall spend
Delightful <lays that never end.”

Mr. and Mrs. Bennett and daugh

EXPERT TELLS HOW TO
HARVEST SWEET POTATOES
By digging at the right time and
being careful in handling and stor
ing properly most of the sweet pota
to losses can be prevented and a high
quality maintained, says Julian
Brown, extension horticulturist at
Auburn, Ala.
With a view to preventing these
losses county agents of the state are
giving instructions to farmers about
when and how to dig potatoes and
how to store them. Briefly their
instructions are:
Dig at least two weeks before
frost danger.
The drier the ground when dug
the better they will keep.
Do not bruise in handling. (Han
dle them as you would eggs.)
For later use put 5 to 10 bushels
in 1-bushel crates (these crates can
be built at home out of Ix3s), place
them in the kitchen for 10 days in
order that they may cure or dry out;
then put them back in a dry cellar
or crib. Pack old quilts or hay a
round them where in danger of
freezing. The balance can be hill
ed in as usual for early use.
Where produced for the market,
provide a storage house and handle
as usual.
Never let a sweet potato chill be
fore or after digging.
If these instructions are followed,
sweet potatoes will be saved and the
quality will be good, Mr. Brown said.
THE WATER MILL
Listening to the busy mill as the hur
rying waters flow
From the crazy, creaking wheel to
the eddying tide below,
While the foam and bubbles pass
down the willow-sheltered
srteam,
Watching, here I sit and think, in a
languid summer dream.
To my mind the proverb comes with
its trite and homely cast,
That the mill will never grind with
the water that has passed.
Sadly on my mind the thought ling
ers while the waters flow;
Wasted years come not again, and
the flitting moments go
With their freight of good or ill to
the final harvest home.

SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS
He that asketh faintly beggeth a
denial.—Brown.
He fled from death, and fell into
it.—Arab Proverb.
They do wrong who say I come no
more,
When once I knock and fail to find
you in;
For every day I stand outside your
door,
And bid you wake, and rise to fight
and win.—-Walter Malone.
Cast all your care on God; that
anchor holds. —Tennyson.
If God be for us, who can be
against us? —Rom. 8:31.
Somewhere there waiteth in this
world of ours
For one lone soul another lonely soul
Each choosing each through all the
weary hours
And meeting strangely at one sudden
goal.
Then blend they like green leaves
with golden flowers
Into one beautiful and perfect whole
And life’s long night is ended, and
the way lies open onward to
eternal day.—Edwin Arnold.
We are met on the broad pathway
of good faith and good will, so that
no advantage is to be taken on either
side, but all to be openness, brother
hood and love.—William Penn’s ad
dress to the Indians.
A LAUGH
A laugh is just like music
It freshens all the day;
It tips the peaks of life with light
And drives the clouds away;
The soul grows glad that hears it,
And feels its courage strong;
A laugh is just like sunshine
For cheering folks along.
A laugh is just like music,
It lingers in the heart,
And where its melody is heard
The ills of life depart,
And happy thoughts come crowding,
Its joyous notes to greet;
A laugh is just like music
For making life more sweet.
Bishop Candler recently had a re
markable religious experience when
he preached a sermon in the Shiloh
Church near Almon, Ga., from which
he delivered his first sermon in
1875 when he was a student at
Emory College. The Bishop was
greeted by a number of prominent
Methodists from all parts of the
state, and a full congregation, in
cluding the oldest and youngest
members of the church. Bishop
Candler commented on the many
changes and the great progress made
by the church in the past half cen
tury.
