A CREAMY LOTION MADE WITH LEMONS Prepare a quarter pint at about the coat of a email jar of common cold cream. When this homemade lemon lo tion is gently massaged into the face, neck, hands and arms daily, the skin naturally should become soft, clear and white, and the complexion dainty and attractive. What girl or woman hasn't heard of lemon juice to remove complexion blemishes: to bleach the skin and to bring out the roses, the freshness and the hidden beauty? But lemon juice alone is acid, therefore irritat ing, and should be mixed with orch ard white this way: Strain through a fine cloth the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing about three ounces of orchard white, then shake well and you have a whole quarter pint of skin and com plexion lotion at about the cost one usually pays for a small jar of ordi nary cold cream. Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle, then this lotion will re main pure and fresh for months. When applied daily to the" face, neck, arms and hands it naturally should help to whiten, clear, smooth en and beautify. Any druggist will supply three ounces of orchard white at very lit tle cost and the grocer has the lem ons. In this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion ladies can easily prepare and have an inexpensive toilet aid which perfectly satisfies their natural de sire for a beautiful, soft skin.

ELLIS The International Sundny School lemon For March 33 la "Inrncl Warned Agnlnnt Compromise."—Joahua 3311 31i3N. The first test of international hon esty is willingness to face and admit all the facts: Lacking this, a man Is a negllble quality. No milder words than coward and weakling will serve to characterize the person who will not accept any demonstrated truth. This is the heresy which oftenest parades as orthodoxy. No man is orthodox who goes back on what is true. This pusil lanimous course may save him some hard knocks, but It will shrivel up his own soul, which, after all, is the one great disaster most to be feared. The call of the day is the call to face the facts. Let a man examine himself, to see where he stands on all of life's big questions. Stocktaking in character is not so common as in busi ness. Even in the commercial world there is occassionally to be found a man who will not admit to himself what are the real conditions: he dodges the act ualities until, one day. the great crash comes. The sort of self-defending temperament always comes up with dis aster. One reasonable explanation of the many moral catastrophes in life is that the victims have simply drifted in to ship-wreck. Their life was never steered. They had no definite purposees. They simply went along, letting chance winds and currents direct him. Amaz ingly few persons think things through for themselves or have a frequent reck oning with their own life. Stock-Taking In Life The wise man occasionally takes time to sit down and cross-examine himself. He does as Israel did. under Joshua s dying instructions. have an under standing as to where he stands. Taking nothing for granted, he retraverses the old ground of first principles. He goes down into life's deep relationship. First he renews his own character: Just what sort of person is he at heart? Then he sings a song of praise for his physical well-being. It rarely ac curs to one to be thankful for good health until it is gone., Home and family are themes for meditations and gratititude : oftentimes a man is so en grossed in making money that lie does not find time to entertain the thought that' in his wife and children he has a priceless fortune. A man's neighbors congratulate him when he is promoted to a five thousand dollar job. or when he falls heir to a few thousand dollars. They are not aware of the greater fortunes that come in life's spiritual relationships; nor frequently is the man himself. An in telligent acceptance of the fact that real riches are of the heart, and that life's most important concerns are those which belong in the realm of the spirit, would cause many a person to write down as his greatest asset the old, old fact of—God. He is following the wisdom of the Israelites who reviews his position with respect to Jehovah. A reaffirmation o one's fundamental religious belief won derously dear's life's atmosphere. For or against, every thinking person owes it to his own character and capabilities to decide the question of his attitude toward God. . The Idols Under the Floor A sidelight upon the situation in Can aan is shed by old Joshua s exhorta tion. "Put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the river." In this plea to serve Jehovah in sincerity and in truth there is an implication that Israel was covertly clinging to.the old idols. That is understandable. The break with heathendom on the part of a Christian 'convert requires a tremend ous wrench. It is a break with all the past—with the ideas, fears, superstitions and associations which have been ground into his consciousness since earliest Infancy. The wonder is scarce ly that so many converts relapse into the old worship, but that so few do. Missionaries have told me that some times converts, instead of throwing away or utterly destroying their idols, have put them under the floors of their houses, so that in case they should ever want thepj again they would be on the safe side! In Honolulu I was assured that, although the Hawaiian Islands have been Christianized, yet in the very capital Itself—a modern, civilized Am erican city—the old idols, rites and spirit worship are still practiced. Without going so far away from home as Hawaii or Japan or Canaan, we may find in every one of our North American cities today relics of barbarism and superstition. I walked down a prin ciple street 'of a Middle West city, and I saw a succession of signs of "medium," "palmist," "clairvoyants," and other fortune-tellers. Some big hotels and steamships have no room number thir teen. Many adults who have passed through our modern educational system will not begin a journey on Friday ; and the breaking of a mirror, the upsetting of a salt cellar, or the sign of a black cat are matters of real concern to per sons not a few. The reversion of Israel to Its idols is not without present-day parallels. The Competition of Gods This western world is so monothe istic in all Its thinking that it often fails to read the Bible sympathetically. Un doubtedly there existed, in the Old Test ament era, in the minds of both the Jews and in the surrounding nations, the idea that Jehovah was merely a national Diety, as opposed to the deities of other nations. The idea that Jehovah was in competition with other gods clear- Ily runs through the history of early j Israel. Joshua put it badly when he said, in the words which are the nub | of this lesson, "And if it seems evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose ye this day whom ye shall serve: whether the gods which your fathers served, that were on the other side of the flood, or | the gods of the Amorites, in whose land lye dwell: but as for me and my house we will serve the Lord." | That old competition is settled, so I far as the Western world goes. It is still on in the Orient, but even there, the most enlightened observers declare, the isssue is clear. As against the an cient idolatries. Jehovah has won. The | very name of the gods of Israel's neigh- I bors are mere matters of antiquarian in terest. In the expressive colloquial speech of the day, they are "dead ones." | Today the nature of the conflict has j shifted. Now it is between Jehovah and human selfishness. These are the twen tieth century idols that dispute Jeho vah's claim to the allegiance of man. Here it is that choice must he made l>y everybody: the issue cannot he evaded ; deliberate decisive choice must be made. That was a wise word of Joshua's, and an instructive on, when he made choice for himself and his household. He could not decide for Israel; he did not have to. No man can do everything. | It is impossible for any one to set the j whole world right . But he can get right i himself, and keep his household right, j Bolsheviks dream of the tranforma ' tlon of society in the mass and wait for | that day without mending their own I ways. The which is folly. It is a regen erated individualism which is the world's only hope. It Is the man who achieves the ablest life for himself who makes the greatest contribution to his time. A shallow phillosophy scoffs at the old religious training which bade a man save his own soul. While as an end. that is not sufficient; but is ab solutely the first essential. The very most important gift that man can give the world is a life made over by the power of God. Only such a one can make over the mass of lives. The Bishop of London's Counsel Joshua called his people back to first things. He compelled them to face a decision. By his example and counsel, pointing out the perils of a contrary course, and reminding them what Jeho vah had done for them in the past he lead them to renew their ancient alleg iance. He recalled them to the ultimate spiritual verities which have been aptly condensed into a modern phrase, "Get right with God." This recall to first things is a note that is being sounded by the world's religious leaders today. The Bishop of London never spoke truer words than those uttered at the capital of the Unit ed States, when he said: No church on earth will produce an effect upon the world if it has not still one further characteristic. It must clearly and un mistakably and before all the world be unworldly itself. Bear with me, then, when I say as my last word that the greatest danger of the Church on both sides of the Atlantic is worldllness. "It is impossible for the Church to mix too freely with the world. But. on the other hand, to run a church as a man runs a successful business to de pend upon cleverness and management, rather than the grace of God, to neglect prayer and intercession in favor of in fluence with the, press, to lower the teaching of the Chilrch or Its moral standard in order to suit a self indul gent age is to spell ruin and failure and shame for the most orthodox Church in the world. In a voice which still rings down the centuries Jesus Christ him self proclaimed: "My kingdom is not of this world." Meat Production Reaches High Record Washington, March 21. Under the stimulus of war time demands, meat production reached the enor mous total of 23,366,000,000 pounds last year which the Department of Agriculture announced 'undoubtedly never before had been attained in this country, and certainly not in any other country by long odds." "Meat producers met the war sit uation magnificently in 1918," the department said. "They increased meat production in one year by 24 per cent., and thus made possible an increase of national meat surplus i in one year by 79 per cent, and an increase in per capita consumption by 17 per cent. Notwithstanding the very high prices of meat in this country in 1918, and with prices ris ing above 1917, a large fraction of the population must have greatly Increased its meat consumption in that year."
