SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
BY DR. MARION McH. HULL
Golden text: “I delight to do thy
ill." Psalm U):8. _
A book and a half is most too

a short time. Certainly there
u be no attempt at details. Only
e high spots can be touched and

eat the reign of the man who prob

iy other man that ever lived, for
hether yot« think of him as shep

tnizer ai'd executive, king, and
any ether qualities that might be
imed. Padtl excelled.
When Sari failed in the matter of
sering the sacrifice, and in the
after of Amalek —showing a lack
proper appreciation of his rela
onship to God—Samuel was in
ructed to tell him that God had
jected him and chosen another in
s place. lie was also directed by

' Jesse to be king, but at first he
dn’t know which. Israel in dying
’d prophesied that the sceptre
lould be Judah’s. Saul was of the
ibe of Benjamin and Jesse was
the tribe .of Judah.
The presence of the prophet in
tfthlehem was the occasion of some
arm at first; but Jesse was direct

THE .TiTA NT.’. TV' “i I'FlirY .JIHJRNAI
i as evidences here were his bracelet
i-'ind crown.
Instead of rejoicing, as might
have been expected, at the death
of his persecutor. David lamented;
and instead of rewarding the Ama
lekite. he killed men who by his own
mouth was the confessed murderer
of Israel's king.
David was now proclaimed king
over Judah; but it was seven and a
half years before he received the
homage of the other tribes and be
came the acknowledged king over
all Israel. But not once during that
i time did he do anything* to remove
any of the claimants to the throne
who belonged to the house of Saul.
He still waited God's time; he was
still trusting Him to accomplish His
will, but he would not hurry it.
The first few years of his reign
were spent in cementing the bonds
of the kingdom and putting down
their enemies. David was a. great
soldier and a great executive. He
know that with a kingdom compos
ed of tribes not fully annealed, he
must give them a task too big to be
accomplished unless all united. That
task was the one of putting down
their enemies who had harassed the
nation for years and in extending
the boundaries of the kingdom until
its power was recognized as being so
great that other enemies would not
dare attack them. This task David
accomplished and in the doing of it
made the nation one.
When God had given him victory
over all the surrounding people and
rest from their enemies, David had
time to think. Here he had cap
tured the stronghold of the .Tabu
sites which was considered impreg
nable and had built him a palace of
cedars from Lebanon. The Ark of
God. which, after twenty years’ ab
sence, he had brought up success
fully and placed in the tabernacle
on the hill of Zion, where Arannah
had had his threshing floor; it was
still under cover of curtains. This
did not seem right to him, so he
spoke of his desire to build God a
house that would he in keeping with
his own and with God’s majesty and
dignity. Nathan encouraged him in
his desire, but that night God spoke
to him giving him other directions.
The Davidic Covenant
In effect it was this: Who said
I wantei a l ouse; I have asked for
one all these years. But I appre
ciate David’s, my servant’s, thought.
I am going to build him a house.
Then, verbatim, follows the cove
nant: “Also Jehovah telleth thee
that He will make thee a house.
And when thy days be fulfilled, and
thou shalt sleep with thy fathers,
I will set up thy seed after thee,
which shall proceed out of thy bow
els, and I will establish thy kingdom.
He shall build a, house for my name,
and I will establish the throne of
his kingdom forever. I will be his
father, and he shall be my son. If
he commit iniquity, I will chasten
him with the rod of men, and with
the stripes of the children of men:
But my mercy shall not depart away
from him, as I took it from Saul,
whom I put away before thee. And
thine house and thine kingdom shall
be established forever before thee;
thy throne shall be established for
ever.” (2 Sam. 7:11-16.)
Notice that this house assured to
David an house, a seed, a throne, a
kingdom, and in perpetuity. Saul’s
house was to be set aside, but Dav
id’s was to be established. It
would be David's son who should
succeed him, not some other, man’s
son as had been the case with Saul.
David should have a throne; that
is, a place to rule and subjects over
whom to rule. Aud the best of all
this condition was to be perpetual.
If any of his descendants should sin
they would be chastised, but not de
posed.
This was the covenant with Da
vid, made by God Himself on the
i grounds of grace alone, and with-
I out any conditions at all. To make
| it mean anything else than what Na
j than and David understood it to
mean: i. e„ a. literal fulfillment of
it, is to say the least, poor exegesis,
and very dangerous in principle.
This covenant with David God
confirmed witli an oath. Read, care
fully the eighty-ninth Psalm which
was written by Ethan the Ezrahlte,
a contemporary of Solomon’s and a
very wise man. Next week we
shall study this Psalm more care
fully. God confirmed this covenant
with David again when He spoke
through the angel, Gabriel, to Mary
(Luke 1:31-34), at the same time
through whom the covenant was to
be fulfilled.
This covenant was really the most
outstanding feature of the reign of
David. His uniting the tribes un
der one head was a remarkable
achievement politically; his estab
lishment of his kingdom with Jeru
salem as its capital was notable
statecraft; his bringing the ark back
and finding for it a permanent erst
ing place on Mt. Zion and making
that, place the seat of worship was
an outstanding achievement relig
iously; the extension of his kingdom
and the subjugation of all of his
enemies was no small feat; but none
of these nor all of them combined
can compare with the closing of
j this contract with God by moans of
; which his house, his throne, his
kingdom should continue forever.
Did David doubt this? Ah, not
i listen as he accepts this wonderful
| gift at God's hands. “Who am I,
| O Lord God? And what is my house
I that thou hast brought me hitherto?
1 - ■ • Do as thou hast said.”
Did God keep this covenant? Per
i.-h the suggestion that He did not
■r will not! Rebellions met with
chastisement, but not with abandon
ment. Finally they rejected and
•ebelled against David's son; God is
even now doing what He said to
David He would do —He is chastis
ing His people, but He has not aban
loned them. And one day—may it
not be long delayed—David's Son
will yet sit on the throne of His fa
lter David and reign forever.
David's reign meant much to Is
rael; but David's reign will mean
more yet to the world, when God fi
nally fulfills the covenant He made
with him.
Once in David's latter years his
own people rebelled against him.
They would not have this man to
rule over them; and so he went out
of the country. But after a while
his loyal subjects went to bring the
king back.
His greater Son also was rejected.
Ho came unto His own, and they
that were His owtt received Him
not. So He, too. went away into a
i far country. What are you doing,
as His loyal subjects, to bring the
j King back?

CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE 0. THOMAS
Some Good Recipes
Dear Mrs. Thomas: You write
like you have lots of patience. Well,
maybe you'll feel like you need it
when you see this letter. Have
wanted to write and tell you how
much I enjoy your helpful talks in
the Tri-Wcekly; in these days when
the world seems to have gone mad
for speed, it is a lucky periodical
that can number among its con
tributors a writer who can breathe
the true leaven of religion that
"faith ig the victory that can over
come the world,” and can weave it
in with the close-to-the-heart prac
tical, helpful talks like yours.
In one of your recent columns you
mention some cake-making which
has been extensively advertised. The
white puff cake, according to recipe,
was delicious; I made several of them
for presents, bridal, birthday; I fol
lowed the instructions carefully,
especially about the baking, and
when I make a cake for home use
I. use the same methods for baking
my cheapest cake that is given for
the finest. I make a one-egg cake
as follows: 1 1-4 cups sugar, 2 cups
flour, 1 cup milk (I use either sweet
or sour), 1 egg, 1 tablespoon short
ening, 2 teaspoons baking powder
for aweet milk. 1 tablespoon B. P.,
and about 1-2 teaspoon soda; any pre
ferred flavoring. I am always care
ful about the soda.
This can be baked in layers—one
long bread pan—octagon shape pan,
muffins, or with a little added flour,
just dropped in the grbased biscuit
pan and baked in a quick oven; these
last are flatter, of course.
This devil’s food has always
proven very satisfactory; have you
ever run across it? Heat and melt 2
squares (2 oz.) chocolate, 3 table
spoons water, 11-4 cups sugar; when
dissolved add 1-2 cup butter (scant);
set. aside to cool. Mix 1 cup sour
milk, yolk of 1 egg, 1-2 teaspoon
soda, now mix in the cooled choco
late mixture, beating thoroughly,
then add 2 cups flour (scant) if nec
essary. Bake in two layers or in
one long pan and use a moderate
oven; use the white of egg for the
icing. I have found a whole tea
spoon of soda a little too much;
you have had enough experience to
know how to allow for this.
Here is one more simple recipe
and I will say good-by and good
luck: Molasses layer cake without
eggs or sugar: Mix 1 tablespoon
shortening, 1 cup molasses, 1-2 cup
sour milk, 1-2 teaspoon salt, 2 cups
flour, 1 teaspoon soda; flavor with
ginger and bake as muffins or flavor
with spices and bake in layers; the
latter are nice put together with
chocolate, a little orange or lemon
peel added gives a. nice flavor. This
can also be baked in one long pan
as ginger bread.
Trusting that I have not imposed
too much upon your good nature
and your defenseless condition, and
with the best of good wishes for you
and all you love I beg to sign mv
self,
Sincerely,
(MISS) MARY L. JONES.

course, you have boiled the chicken
till It comes off the bones.
Dressing
Two raw eggs, beaten thoroughly,
and three-fourths cup of vinegar, a
teaspoonful of celery seed and a
teaspoonful of butter, a little salt.
Beat all these together and cook in
a double boiler until thick, stirring
all the time. Tut in just enough
sugar to kill the vinegar taste. I
think you will have to taste it as
the strength varies. I find that a
rather sweet dressing makes a bet
ter salad.
After the dressing has cooled pour
it over the mixture of chicken, cel
ery and other things that you have
already mixed. Use a folk to stir
the salad into the heavier mixture.
Now, here comes the difference
in this and the general run of chick
en salads. After I have made the
cooked dressing and let it stand
over the chicken an hour or so, I
always add three tablespoonfuls of
mayonnaise dressing. It gives it a
much better flavor. After you have
made it and mixed it I always add
more salt if it seems to be neces?
sary, and somehow it generally does
need it.
Sincerely, GRACE M.
Sometime when you are going to
have a luncheon that you want to
be a little out of the ordinary sup
pose you have cream puffs filled
with creamed chicken, or during
Lent you could surprise your friends
with a salmon salad mixture.
You may have a good recipe for
making cream puff shells,, if you
have it is best to use it but if you
are not in the habit of making them
I am going to give you the one writ
ten by Miss Carlotta C. Greer, who
is the director of the American
Stove company’s research kitchen.
Cream puff shells:
1-2 cup of vegetable oil, (or 1-4
pound of butter).
1 cupful of water.
1 cupful of flour.
4 eggs, 1-2 teaspoonful salt.
Method—Put the oil and water in
a saucepan and heat until the water
boils. Remove frpm the fire and
add the flour and salt, and mix
thoroughly. Return the mixture to
the fire and stir and cook till it
does not stick to the sides of the
pan. Then while it is hot add one
at a time the unbeaten eggs. Beat
the mixture as you add an egg so
as to have them thoroughly mixed.
Drop it by tablespoonfuls on an
oiled baking sheet, o rpan. Bako
at. 450 degrees for 20 minutes, then
at 325 for 25 minutes longer. When
the baking is complete remove from
the oven and set aside to cool. When
ready to serve, make a slit in the
side of each puff, and Lv means of
a teaspoon, insert, the filling.
I like the vegetable oil, but if you
do not have any, a quarter of a
pound of butter may be substituted.
All of you have a good plain cus
tard recipe by which to make the
usual filling. But it is much bet
ter if you fold whipped cream into
the cooled mustard.
If you should use creamed chick
en or salmon, it should be hot when
put in the shells and seiwed at
once.
You notice that I am giving you
several ways to use grown chick
ens. Now is the time to cull the
loafers among your flock, if any
have slipped by during the winter
and fall.
Dearest Aunt Julia: Will you be so kind
as to accept me as your new nephew? Thank
you very much; I thought you would, 1
iiope you will be so kind as to print Hi's
for me, as it is my first attempt to write.
I am very fond ot the Letter Box and con
tinued stories in The Journal, i jus: want
ed to tell the boys ot the different states
what they' have been missing. Hoys, I had
the pleasure of attending a thirty-dny gov
ernment military training school last sum
mer during the month of August, with nil
the expenses paid i'y the government. 1
guess most ot you have heard about, if, but
hear mo, boys, it is one of Ihe grandest
offers of our government. I haven't time
nnd space to tell much about it. There wat
just, one serious objection I had about this
ramp, that was having to get up at 5:30
o'clock in the morning, after being awak
ened by the noise of a discharged cannon.
It woke all that were not dead. Then, after
breakfast, we would go out to the drill
field, where we were taught the manual of
arms for about hours. Following that
was exercise for about the same length of
time, with a good rest and a sociable
smoke by all who cared to do so. Several
times during that time, from 9:30 till 11:30,
wo indulged in relays or games which wore
very simple and interesting. We then re
turned to our company street and prepared
for a good dinner. You were then free to
attend the many nnd various kinds of games
or go kodaking in the mountains, take a
shower bath or visit the grand old swim
ming pool, or just, most anything of your
own interest on tlie 19,500 acres of govern
ment land. 1 wns at Camp McClellan, An
niston, Ala. During the last week at eamp
we were allowed to go to the rifle range
and shoot the army rifles. This I counted
the greatest sport of my life. I was very
much delighted to win a marksman's badge
nt this camp. It is real nice, too.
I hope all you male cousins will hare the
pleasure of attending this camp this sum
mer. I won’t be permitted to tell any more
about this camp. I fear I have already
broken Aunt Julia's rules. If any of you
epusins wish for further particulars concern
ing this camp, please write me personally.
I will be glad to tell you lots more. About
the entertainments at night, they were so
numerous you did not know which place to
go. These camps will possibly be held in
July this summer, so be on the alert and
watch for advertisements, so as not to miss
this wonderful summer camp.
Girls, don't hesitate for once to write to
a jolly country boy. I have dark hair blue
eyes and fair complexion: was twenty-one
years old January 27. 1924: am an extra
clerk for the L. & N. Railroad company,
and like the work fine. I will answer all
letters received promptly and be glad to
exchange photos. With love and best wishes
to Aunt Julia and all the cousins, I am
always a loving cousin.

Fine, 1 guess, i did. I will be so glad
when spring comes, for I do love wild flow
ers, and springtime is so beautiful, with
flowers and birds. I live at Fowler's ferry,
on the Coosa river. I go in swimming in
the summer time. Some of you cousins

band of girls and boys? I am here, going to
high school. I will finish this year. How
many of you girls and boys have my birth
day, May 3? I am a country girl, and like
country life much better than I do town
life. I saw a letter in The Journal from an
Alabama girl who lives on the farm and
who doesn't like it. Coun'ry life is much
sweeter and pleasanter than town life. Mr
home town is Riverton. Ala. If this is
printed I will come again. All you cousins
write to me. I will answer all letters re
ceived. The first t» write 1* in* one to re
ceive one of my pictures. A new cousin,

going to ask a favor of you cousins. All
who have pot flowers please send me some
cuttings of any kind you have to spare, as
we lost our flowers during the cold spell.

Dear Auntie and Cousins: Will you please
admit three Georgia chums into your happy
band of boys and girls? Two of ns have
written before aud enjoyed ourselves so
much we decided we would come again and
bring our chum with us. or we call him
our chum: he is my (Nonie’s) brother and
Ruby's cousin, but we all chum together
and have some jolly times, too. This is
our motto: “Be kind and friendly,’’ and
you will be sure to have friends. Isn’t
that what all of you say? I'm sure we
had rather see a smile than a frowu any
time, so let's all smile and see if the world
won’t smile back. We must, be closing,
everybody get their pens and paper and
write us a letter real soon. As we are go
ing to race to see which,one gets the most
letters. We will assure each and everyone
an answer. Three Georgia churns.

I’. S.—Please print these few lines in re
gard to my last letter, also am sending
another letter which I hope will be worthy
of print. “Cousins, one nnd all, who wrote
to me when my last letter appeared in the
paper, I want to thank each and every one
of you for your nice letters. I would have
answered them hut was having trouble and
it was impossible, They were appreciated
to tlie highest extent. Am hoping you will
take this for an answer and write again.
Your Georgia friend. NOME. CHANCE.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you all
let. an old cousins join your happy circle
once again? It has been quite a while
since I asked for this privilege. My! We
atys having some cold weather. The ther
mometer went below zero. AU the grain
and vegetables froze; also the flower garden
is bare, which was once like an enchanted
spot. But back of tlie result is a wonder
ful, mysterious power, n power that dwarfs
our efforts as tlie sun dwarfs the light of a
candle. Without it. individual effort would
be useless. So back of tlie act of labor .n
each life works the power that invigorates
tlie whole human plan. Tlie lowlier the lite,
the more persistent tlie effort, the greater
Hie play of this force: it transforms the
plainest and most insignificant duty into an
act of worship. When that duty Is per
formed unselfishly, it is the power of live.
No matter how drab your life may be, how
dull and colorless the routine of each day,
back of it all is the unselfish love that
makes each act a separate star ot bright
ness in life. This may seem like a dream,
but I believe if it were not for our dreams
many of u« could not go on. They color the
somber woof and bring out the gloomy tints
of life; they raise not only our hopes and
ambitions, but their existence in each indi
vidual life helps to make more beautiful
and more complete the whole fabric of
human existence. I would like to get let
ters from every state in the Union, as I
enjoy corresponding with unknown cousins.
I ham gained some very nice friends
through the Letter Bor, and through them
I have gained more knowledge of some of
the pretty scenery. with best wishes, a
friend,

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
Woo Ihe Gold Digger With Gifts, I
the Sentimental Girl With Poetry i
—lie a Caveman to Timid Girl
and Allow Pious Girl to Re
form You
J HAVE a letter from a man cor
respondent who says:
“Will you please write an article
on how the various types of women
should be wooed.’
»» ... -TSMMr
Well, son, once
upon a time I
interviewed a fa
mous • bigamist,
who had led
twenty - three
blushing brides
to the altar, and
[ asked him what
was his recipe
for a lady killer.
“Humph,” he
replied, “making
a woman fall in
love with you is
the easiest thing ;
in the world. All 1
you have to do
is just to talk to her about herself.
Every one of them will fall for
that.”
That was the opinion of one who
had qualified as an expert on the
subject of which he spoke. Also,
without doubt, this advice furnishes
a good general platform on which
to begin operations. None of us,
male or female, turns a deaf ear
to the voice that chants our praises,
and xve all look with a favorable
eye upon the individual who has
the good taste to single us out from
the herd for special admiration, and
the superior judgment and penetra
tion to perceive how really remark
able we are. _____
Beyond the general fact that all
women, being human, are amenable
to flattery, there is the specific fact
that every woman has some particu
lar weak spot in her armor at xvhicfi
Cupid does well to aim his darts.
These points of attack vary ac
cording to the individual woman,
and if Romeo really means business
he does well to make a careful sur
vey of the terrain before he brings
upi his machine gun to play upon
Juliet’s heart.
There Is, for instance, the greedy
girl, tlie grasper, the gold digger;
the girl who is mad for good times,
the girl who always wants to go
to the smartest restaurants and eat
the highest-priced food, and to dance
at the most expensive jazz places,
and ride in taxics, and wear orchids.
The only bullet that will ever
bring her down is a. silver one.
She must be wooed with theatei
tickets, and automobile rides, and
wild parties, and jewelry and gifts.
Money is the only thing that ever
talks to her. She does not care so
much about how much a man Ipves
her as she does about how much he
will spend upon her, and the highest
bidder gets her.

The cotton belt of the United States must continue to supply IO
this cotton.
The boll weevil cannot be permitted to destroy this supply. He
is a menace but is no longer feared by planters who practice
Profit or loss from a cotton crop depends entirely on the grower
m 2 himself. gS
The conditions for success are simple and are being taught and !
followed with profit by practical men throughout the south.
Doing these five things will insure a good crop of cotton: — rO
First: —Use only good seed of approved early y
varieties.
Second:—Prepare the ground thoroughly and K|gl
plant early. B |
S 3 Third: —Fertilize as you would have done to make S
a bale to the acre before the weevil came. f
Fourth: —Use Nitrate of Soda, 200 pounds to the j
acre, at planting time. ffl
Fifth: —Cultivate early and often. ? ?
Success depends entirely on producing early cotton and these fIH
things guarantee an early crop. S

her is the sentimental girl. She is
all heart. She has an insatiable
yearning for love. She wraps the
world up in a romantic dream, and
is capable of seeing any common
place man as a knight in shining
armor. The way to the sentimental
girl’s heart is to take the poetry
trail.
You can get her positively doped
on Swinburne and Indian love lyrics.
Talk to her about her soul and she
will just lap it up. Send her a ten
cent bunch of violets because you
say they made you think of her eyes
and she xvould rather have them
than a tiara.
Tell her that you never loved be
fore, and that you have gone
through the world locking in vain
for the Only One until you found
her. and that you recognized her on
sight as your predestined mate, and
she will swallow it xvhole and ask
for more. Remember a. few dates —
the time you first met her, the time
she wore a blue dress, and she is
yours. You can send out the wed
ding invitations.
Then there is the timid girl. The
clinging-vine type. The girl who
is sweet, and gentle, and appealing,
but who never can make up her
mind; who can’t decide what she
wants to eat in a restaurant, and
who always buys the wrong clothes.
Never ask a girl who can’t de
cide instantly between lobster New
burg and a club sandwich, or who
doesn’t know whether she would
rather go to the movies or to grand
opera, if she will marry you. Cave
man stuff is the play here.
Tell her that you are going to
trot her around to the parson’s on
the twelfth day of next month, and
that you are going to live together
happily ever afterward because you
are the handsomest, cleverest, most
gifted man in the community, and
that she is a lucky woman to get
you. And she will believe every
word of it. That kind of a woman
needs a master as much as a home
less dog does, and she adores the
man who bosses her.
Then there is the pious girl. Great
little church worker. Belongs to all
the anti-societies. Has an innocent
and naive vanity that makes her be
lieve that she has a special call to
reform the world.
That type of girl has a morbid
curiosity about wickedness, and the
man who xvants her can enthrall her
bj* painting himself a past as black

as Ink. The worse he has been
the better, so to speak.
His cue is to tell her that her love
alone will redeem him, and that he
only needs her angel hand to lead
him up to the heights where he will
never thirst for a highball again or
know there is a petticoat in the
world but hers. She can’t resist tak
ing his soul into her keeping, and
when she does that the balance of
him follows.
Then there if? the sympathetic
woman, who answers the call of any
man who rattles a set of aluminum
cooking vessels at her. And there’s
the woman who really isn’t much
inclined to matrimony at all, but
who eventually marries the patient
xvooer who has camped on her door
step.
But why multiply instances? Any
woman can be won by any man who
has gumption enough to find her soft
spot.
