Who Has Received tllsh Honor From Klnic. 4 it Y. ' 1 I v 4 'f j l ' t v:! nBBn Rs.nn. 1 4 1 i -. f 1 Mrs. Calvin, at Home Econom ics Conference, Explains How to Feed Allies. FOOD NEED WILL BE MET Figures Presented to Show 4 0 Per Cent Delicit In Crop Sufficient to Feed Entente Countries Can He Made Vp. If every housewife in America man ages to save every day only 2 cents' worth of food that otherwise would go to waste, the apparent shortage in the country's supply will be overcome. This notable fu.ct was Impressed upon the conference of supervisors of home economics at the Benson Girls School of Trades yesterday by Mrs. Henrietta Calvin, of the Federal Department of Education, who is touring the country In the interests of food conservation. Mrs. Calvin, who formerly was in charge of the home economics depart ment of the Oregjon Agricultural Col lege, aims to conserve the food where It is most generally wasted in the kitchen. Calculations Are Offered. Her estimate that a saving of 2 cents a day in every kitchen will save the United States and her allies from possi ble starvation sounded like a mere drop In the National bucket at first, but she produced the figures to show that her calculations are absolutely correct. She gleaned from Government reports the startling information that the available food supply in the (United States this year will be enough to feed the people of this country and enough left over to feed 60 per cent of the people of the allied nations. -Unless this 40 per cent deficit In the allied requirements is made up Well, you can contemplate the possi bilities yourself. "So it Is most important," urged Mrs. Calvin, "that every morsel of food be conserved, and when conserved that it be utilized." Fred Children Well, Is Plea. Now, how can this conservation be accomplished? Mrs. Calvin proceeded to explain. The aforementioned 2 cents will aggregate $70,000,000 worth of food In a year enough to make up the shortage. "In the first place," she Insisted. "American children must be well fed. If you are going to skimp any place, don't skimp on the children. Skimp on yourselves. But It is not necessary for anyone to practice starvation. Elimi nate only your excessive eating. "Eliminate waste in transit and In preparation, and substitute, wherever possible, perishables for staples." She enumerated such commodities as milk, eggs, cottage cheese and fish as perishables that can be eaten instead of meat, as the meat can be better con served and can be exported to feed the allied people and the armies in France. "Perishables for us and staples for the allies," was the slogan that she sought to impress upon her hearers. The doctrine laid down by Mrs. Cal vin will be taken up by the teachers who heard her and carried into the schoolrooms and into the homes of the land. Mrs. Calvin is conducting similar meetings in other parts of the country. She planned to hold her Portland con ference so that her audience might take advantage of the N. E. A. meetings at the same time. SrMtoo. Are Concluded. The sessions here began on Friday and were concluded yesterday. The point most emphasized in yesterday's proceedings embraced the plans for next Winter's work under altered eco nomic conditions induced by the war. The meetings opened with an in structive paper by Miss Lilian Tingle, of Portland, followed by reports from experiments at Pendleton by Miss But ler, of that city. Speakers were Mrs. Dabney, of Seattle; Miss Demmon, of Butte; Miss Erich, of Minneapolis; Miss Bartlett, of San Francisco, and others. The conference was attended by a very representative group of instruct ors in home economics from various cities on the Pacific Coast and Middle West.

Among them will be a costumed pre sentation by the Ginger Girls of that Portland song now being sung through out the land, written by a Portland boy. Jay B. Tower, "Stand Up and Fight for Uncle Sammy and the Dear Old U. S. A.," and sung by the already-popular, though new to Portland, prima, donna dainty Dorothy Raymond.

We have seen that bantlsm is men. ial to individual salvation. But bap. ism is enjoined as an indispensable requisite to remission of sins, and ss he one and only gate of admission to he Church of Jesus Christ or the king dom of God. Faith in God and genuine repentance are prerequisites to effect- ve Daptlsm. In all consistency and Jus tice, therefore, baptism can be required of those only who are capable of exer cising faith and of rendering repent ance. The undeveloped mind of a babe Is In capable of conceiving sin, of experien cing faith, or of comprehending repent ance. Why, then, should babies be bap- lzedT . . We search in vain for scriptural au thority or sanction of the practice of infant baptism. Christ took little chil dren into his arms and blessed them, saying to those who would have kept the Innocents from him. "Suffer little children, and forbid them not. to come unto me; for of such is the kingdom of heaven" (Matt. xlx:14). But he did not baptize them: and. as an early writer has tersely remarked: From the action of Christ's blesslnc Infants, to Infer they are to be bap tized proves nothing so much as that there is a want of better argument: for the conclusion would with more prob ability be derived thus: Christ blessed Infants, and so dismissed them, but baptized them not: therefore, infants are not to be baptized." V hat immeasurable horror attaches to the conception that infants who die unbaptlzed are numbered with the damned! Nevertheless, this frightful thought has overshadowed the minds of men for centuries. Babes are born sin less, notwithstanding the unscriptural dogma that they come Into the world attainted from original sin: they have had no chance In the flesh to stray from the fold, and require no ceremony of admission to the kingdom, to which, on the word of the Savior himself, they rightfully belong. The practice of bap tizing babes was unknown In the an cient apostolic period; and not until centuries later did the unscriptural cus tom become general. The prophet Mormon thus proclaimed the word of the Lord in an epistle to his son, Moroni: "Listen to the words of Christ, vour Redeemer, your Lord and your God: Behold, I came into the world not to call the righteous, but sinners, to re pentance; the whole need no physician. out they that are sick; wherefore, little children are whole, for they are not capable of committing sin; wherefore. the curse of Adam is taken from them in me, that it hath no power over them; and the law of circumcision is done away In me. And after this manner did the Holy Ghost manifest the word of God unto me; wherefore, my beloved Son, I know that it is solemn mockery before God, that ye should baptize lit tle children. Behold, I say unto you, that this thing shall ye teach, repent ance and baptism unto those who are accountable and capable of committing sin; yea, teach parents that they must repent and be baptized and humble themselves as their little children, and they shall all be saved with their little children. And their little children need no repentance, neither baptism. Be hold, baptism is unto repentance to the furfllllng the commandments unto the remission of sins. But little children are alive In Christ, even from the foun dation of the world. . . . Little chil dren cannot repent; wherefore. It Is awful wickedness to deny the pure mercies of God unto them, for they are all alive in him because of his mercy. And he that salth that little children need baptism denleth the mercies of Christ and setteth at nought the atone ment of him and the power of his re demption" (Book of Mormon, Moroni vlil:8-20. So proclaims the Church "of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to the world today. Faith in God, repentance of sin, baptism by water and of the Spirit are required of every soul that comes to years of accountability and powers of comprehension: but without faith and repentance, of which only understanding minds are capable, bap tism is but a perversion of the gospel ordinance. The scriptures relating to baptism in all ages and of all peoples are in har mony as to the conditions essential to the proper reception of the saving rite. In a revelation on church government given through Joseph Smith, the prophet, in April. 1830. the Lord Jesus Christ thus defined the status of ac ceptable candidates for baptism: "All those who humble themselves before God and desire to be baptized and come forth with broken hearts and contrite spirits and witness before the church that they have truly repented of all their sins and are willing to take upon them the name of Jesus Christ, having a determination to serve him to the end and truly manifest by their works that they have received of the Spirit of Christ unto the remission of their sins shall be received by baptism into his church" (Doctrine and Cove nants xx:37). These conditions exclude all who have not reached the age and capacity of discretion and understanding; and by specific commandment the Lord has forbidden the church to administer bap tism to others: "No one can be received into the Church of Christ unless he has arrived unto years of accountability before God and is capable of repentance" (Verse 71). By revelation the Lord has desig nated eight years as the age at which children may be baptized into the church. At an earlier age, however, children are to be brought to the elders of the church and be blessed by the laying on of hands in the name of Jesus Christ; after the pattern set by the Master in the course of his personal ministry, s For the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants and other literature of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, apply to any of the mis sions of the church, among which are: Northwestern States Mission, 810 East Madison street, Portland, Or., and Bu reau of Information, Salt Lake City, Utah.
