CANNING IJMA BEANS
Uma beans should be canned the
same day on which- they are picked.
This point is covered fully in the
canning and drying book which the
National War Garden Commission,
Washington, will send to you on re
quest. A 2-cent stamp to cover post
age should be enclosed.
The beans should be in prime con
dition, and shelled and sorted care
fully. The large ones are often
canned Vor succotash. After shelling
do net wash. Blanche five minutes.
Cold dip and pack in jars, taking
care not to break the skins. Broken
beans will cause a cloudiness in the
liquid. Add one level teaspoon salt
to each quart and pour in boilinn
water to cover. Put on rubber and
top and adjust top bail, or .screw on

A New Serial of East and West

CHAPTER XI
John Butler sat motionless for
some time after Elizabeth Wade had
gone into the house. He was think
ing very hard.
This past week on the farm had
done wonders for him, he reflected,
He was more light-hearted than lie
had been since leaving college._ Yes
exlstance here was delightful.
Yet, as he mused, he realized that,
while his experiments on the Wade
farm had been intensely interesting,
he had not uiltil this past hour felt
the keen enjoyment of life of which
he was now conscious. Could his in
terview with this girl have mad 6 this
difference?
Of course she had nothing to do
with it! he declared impatiently. Un
til to-night he had not even consid
ered her enough of importance to
talk to —not until he had roused her
anger. By Jove—but she had looked
pretty then—with her cheeks flush
ed and her eyes flashing!
He recalled that at the time of his
arrival he had regretted the presence
of a young person in this household.
He had seen her from his window
and had supposed, from her appear
ance, that she was of his own class,
and had been vexed at the thought
that he would have to be on terms
of equality with her.
Later, when he had been introduc
ed to her and had learned that shej
was the young cousin of whom the
farmer's wife had spoken, his annoy
ance had vanished. His only inter
est in her then had been that she re
.minded him of someone he had met
—but of whom he could not remem
ber. After which the farm and work
had b'anished her from his thoughts.
Yet here to-night he had been
talking to her as if she belonged to
hif, own world, in spite of the fact
that she was Mrs. Amos Chapin's
cousin and protege.
What difference did that make?
he argued. Suppose the, girl was of
humble origin and had not had such
advantages as his sister has had,
might it not be well worth know
ing?
Mentally he compared her wit!
his sister. Surely thia girl fron
Mauch Chunk was quite as refinei
in speech and bearing as was Alici;
Butler. She certainly was far pret
tier. •
A Favorable Comparison
"She's lovely!" he exclaimed in
voluntarily.
A guarded movement at the end of
the veranda brought him to his feet,
and in three strides he was at the
spot whence came the sound. But
! nobody was in sight, although Nig,
the half-witted Pole's great dog, was
sulking around' the corner of the
I house. Doubtless he had been ly
! ing in the cool earth of the flower
I beds, and his rising from there had
| caused the rustle which Butler had
j heard.
I The man had started back toward
| his seat when a sudden yelp from the
| dog and a rough "Get out of here,
you darned beast!" broke upon the
silence of the night. A moment later
Amos Chapin appeared at the foot of
the steps.
"I just met with that dog
of his," he explained, frowning an
grily. "And I'll be blest if'the an
imal didn't snap at me as I passed
him. I gave him a kick that he'll
not forget soon. Talak swore at me,
t guess, but I didn't wait to make
sure. I told him the other day I'd
shoot that brute if he didn't keep
him from under foot."
"Was Nig with Talak?" Butler
questioned. "I saw the dog roam-|
ing around here just niw, but he was j
alone."
"Well he was with his fool-master 1
when I met him," Amos affirmed. |
Toe pair are inseparable. Talak •
chains the dog up when he works |
in the field, but at other times hei
has him with him all the while un
less I interfere, He's an awful fool."
"Why keep him—Talak, I mean?"
Butler asked. " I can't see that he
is particularly valuable."
"If he was he wouldn't be work
ing for the wages I can pay him,"
Chapin retorted. 'I keep him be
cause he will do as I order and will
not try to think for "himself. If I
am boss here I don't propose to have
a farmhand that knows more—or
thinks he does —than I do."
John Butler made no rejoinder.
He was no farmhand, but a director i
of scientific farming, henfce It would i
be foolish for him to resent the slur
he might suspect lurked in the far
mer's speech.
Perhaps Amos realized that his
words were rather indiscreet, for he
spoke again after a minute or more
amicably.
Not Too Much Money
"You see. Wade hasn't any too
much money anyway, and he don't
feel like putting much of it into the
farm. If I owned It, like he does,
I'd not mind paying money out.
Surely, he added more cautiously,
"if he can afford to have an expert
like you come here, he could hire
more farmhands."
Butler spoke impetuously, "You,
are mistaken, Mr. Chapin! Dr. Wade!
pays me nothing. I am here for the!
experience. The life in the opep j
air and privilege of directing things
as I please are worth much to me
at this junction. I cannot explain—
but the business end of the affair is
perfectly satisfactory to both Dr.
Wade and myself."
His manner was stiff and Chapin
replied gruffly: "Oh I know it's none
of my business! I'm only the one
that's stood by young Wade through
all these years when the place didn't
pay. But I don't intend to lose by
this deal."
•Butler would not quarrel Just now.
Too much was at stake.
"I did not fancy," he said, coldly!
"that Dr. Wade will let you lose. lie!
is not that sort of a man —as I hap-,
pen to know—being his friend."
The implied reproof had the de- \
sired offset. Chapin dropped the
subject and after exchanging a few
remarks as to the heat of the past
day and the likelihood of rain to-i
morrow, the pair said good-night on
apparently good terms.
But the conversation had made
each secretly more antagonistic to-!
ward the other than before.

TRUTH THAT TIMES
The International Sunday School Lesson For July 14 Is
"Reading God's Word." Acts 8:26-39; Ps. 19:7-11.
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS
Over in Br?tain a visitor is im
i pressed by the remarkable emphasis
i that is laid upon tha leadership of
President Wilson. It Is not in the
United States, but among our allies,
that one tinds the clearest recogni
tion of the place that this modest
civilian and ex-schoolteacher has
made for himself as the interpreter
and voice of civilization's highest
conceptions and convictions. He has
rendered articulate for all the allied
nation the profoundest sentiments
that animate them in this gigantic
struggle. All the world around, in
benighted Russia and far Caucasia,
Woodrow Wilson is a name known
and trusted and honpred.
Whence comes this power and
wisdom'.' No school of professional
diplomacy traineji this man. He is
not witnessing the flowering of any
deep-sown plans for world-domin
ion. No combination of warriors or
statesmen has put him into his
unique position at the forefront of
mankind. Wherein, then, is the ex
planation? The answer is at hand.
President Wilson is a Scriptyre
saturkted sion of the manse. His
ideals are those of the Bible. His
spirit is. that of simple Christianity.
He dared to apply the principles
of Jesus to international relations.
The origin of the new standards of
statecraft, and of the essential aims
of the allied nations in this war, is
nothing less than the Bible.
Upon this point, of the peculiar
place of the Bible, President Wilson
has put himself clearly and repeat
edly on record. One .may find his
words hanging upon the walls of
Young Men's Christian Association
huts all over France. Consider the
pertinency of this quotation, from
him: "I am sorry for the men who
do not read the Bible every day. I
wonder why they deprive themselves
of the strength and of the pleasure.
It is one of the most singular books
in the world, for every time you
open it some old text that you have
read a score of times suddenly
beams with a new meaning. There is
no other book that I know of. of
which this is true; there is no other
book that yields its meaning so per
sonally, that seems to tit itself so
intimately to the very spirit that is
seeking its guidance."
Behind War's Wheels
The world war colors our entire
thinking. We see everything in re
lation to this all-transforming strug
gle. When we seek to look dispas
sionately upon the conflict itself, and
to discern its real causes and issues,
we behold that it has become a war
for ideals that have come into the
world with the New Testament. The
common thinking of civilization has
become so saturated with the teach
ings of Jesus that men deem His
standards of righteousness and

mercy and brotherhood and good
will supremely worth fighting for.
This 'growing book has a grow
ing power in our time. The explo
sion in Europe has blown up or
shaken t down many conventional
standards. But it has left the Bible
jin u new place of fnfluence. Not
merely is it true that the publication
and circulation of Bibles has been
vastly increased; some of this due to
the zeal of home churckes which
have not yet felt the real impact of
• the war, and some of it is owing to
la genuinely heightened desire to
jread the Book. In a more general
i sense, the Bible has come to its own.
(The standards now accepted are
those most clearly taught in the
Scriptures.
Before the war, certain material
philosophies claimed the right to su
persede the old volume. Where are
they now? The chastening experi
ence of these four years is driving
human hearts away from fads and
innovations and self-indulging theo
ries to the simplicities of the Book
which has given us what is best in
our civilization. Self-sacrifice, serv
ice of others, high conceptions of
conduct for men and for nations, the
sanctity of truth, mercy to the weak,
a lavish offering up of life itself up
on the cross of a holy cause—whence
come such ideals as those except
frofn the Book of books?
Our tumultous times are learning
the truth that Whittter sang:
"We search the world for truth; we
cull > •
The good, the pure, the beautiful
From graven stou* and written
scroll,
From all old flower-fields of the
soul;
And', weary seekers of the best,
We come back laden from the
quest.
To find that all the sages said
Is in the Book our mothers read."
Back to Old Fashions
It took the lightning flashes of the
world storm to reveal to men and
nations whither they were drifting.
One province in Canada had, all un
known to its British-born citizens,
come within one per cent of being
controlled by an unsympathetic for
eign immigration. The story of how
Germany had entrenched herself at
the world's strategic centers is now
general knowledge. Ideals and stan
dards that can be called nothing less
than pagan had likewise insinuated
themselves into our common life.
Few Christians suspected how far
our day had gone toward the en
thronement of un-Chrlstian ideas
and usages. Free love, infidelity, an
tipatriotism, industrial and social
anarchy, we now perceive, were real
perils of civilization. The brutalized
German theory that strength has no
obligations to weakness, and that the
superman or egotist is above all
moral restraints, had found its way
Into much of our literature upon
"success." Likewise, made-in-Ger
raany theology, which we now see
to be increditably arrogant, un
truthworthy and unfruitful, was
steadily undermining the faith of
Christendom.
Now, humbled and contrite, we
perceive that the old, old paths of
honor and sincerity and brotherli
ne;-s and reverence, which the Bible
proclaimed as the way of life, are
the only safe roads for the feet of
the race. The simplicity of good
ness; the integrity of our homes; the
chastity of our characters; the
worth of country and flag; the child
like faith in God; the followshlp
with His Saviour Son: —these have
emerged anew as the desirable
goals of life.
Myriads of minds are giving
j thought to the reconstruction of the
I world after the war. All aim,
whether consciously or not, at con
forming It to the high and altruis
tic standards of the New Testament.
! And a first factor In the rehabilitation
! of society is the careful training of
I the young in the study of the Bible.
Despite its hundred years of useful
ness, the Sunday school never has
had such a work as lies before it
to-day. National and international
conferences on a new world order
I may sound more Important; but the
Sunday school teachers have the real
work to do. A plain, practicable
plan for meeting all the fresh prob
lefnb that the war has thrust into
our thinking is to teach boys and
girls, men and women, to follow the

fashion of Jesus, as set forth tn the
Bible.
Persihin# and Gladstone
Boys especially need to be im
j pressed with the attitude of really
I great men toward the Bible and re
■ ligion. They should hear, as I have
| heard, Lloyd George, the Free
, Churchman, publicly asking his fel
i low Christians to pray for him; or
Admiral Beatty calling the British
nation lo prayer. General Pershing's
message to his soldiers in France is
also a message to the world:
"Hardship will be your lot, but
trust in God will give you comfort;
temptation will befall you, but the
teachings of our Saviour will give
you strength. Let your valor as a
soldier, and your conduct as a man,
be an inspiration to your comrades,
and an honor to your country."
William E. Gladstone uttered
this testimony to the workability
of the Bible;
•"What crisis, what trouble, what
perplexity-of life has failed or can
fail to draw from thia inexhaustible
treasure-house its proper supply?
What profession, what position is
not daily and hourly enriched by
these words which repetition never
weakens, which carry with them
now, as in the days of their first
utterance, the freshness of youth
and immortality? When the solitary
student opens all his heart to drink
them in. they will reward his toil,
•and in forms yet more hidden and
withdrawn, in the retirement of the
chamber, in the stillness of the
night season, upon the bed of sick
ness. and in the face of death, the
Bible will be there, its several words
how often winged with their several
and special' messages, to heal and
to sooth, to uplift and uphold, to
invigorate and stir. Nay, more, per
haps, than this; amid the crowds of
the court, or the forum, or the
street, or the ma'rket-place, where
every thought of every soul seems to
be set on the excitements of am
bition, or of business, or of pleasure,
there, too, even there, the still small
voice of the Holy Bible will be heard,
and the soul, aided by some blessed
word, may find wings like a dove,
may fly away and be at rest.''

and arms of various descriptions.
The raids wore carried out simultan

Kings. There was no resistance, ex

presence of arms were denied, but
the weapons afterward were sur

surprised, not expecting such drastic
action in view of the recent procla
