A SPIRITUAL

By UKV. IVAN I.KR HOLT. T.T.
(St. John's Methodist Kpiseopal Church, South. SI. Louis. Mo.)
"One thing have ) desired of the Lord; that will I seek
after; that I may dwell in the houe o the Lord all the
4t clays of my lire, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to
Inquire His temple." Psalm 27:4.
It is a popular fallacy of our day to think of a religious
man an neurotic and to apeak of one who knows an experience
of God a 4 ahnormnl.
In his "Psychology and Morals" Dr. J. S. 11 art field has point-
ed out that there is an "urge to completeness" in man. On the
physical side this works-itself out in growth; on its psychologl
4. cal side there is sought an absence of conflict and a harmony
t with the social environment and the universe nt large.
4 That harmony Is possible lhroui;h the emergence of nn cth-
leal personality in which the instincts are sublimated and domi-
nated by nn Ideal. It Is what our fathers at a Methodist revival
termed "getting right with God."
In our religious thinking modern psychology is inquiring as
4 to whether prayer is autosuggestion ami the Idea of God only a
projection. That Is true if religious experience is only a
4 dt-lusion and a neurotic state, liut we must distinguish between
fr fanaticism and insight.
iSome conversations seem to be fanaticism nnd neurotic ex- 8
trnvagnnco, but there are others when the heavens open nnd
. , Cod is visible as reality.
f "In almost every asylum there is someone who is quite con- 4
vlnced that he is the Messiah; so was Jesus Christ but that Is 4
4 the end of the resemblance between iln'in." 4
There ts quality as well as Intensity in religious experience. 4

Good Things for
Buffet Meals
Almost every momentous occa
sion calls for some extra food we
are happy so we want to eat in
iorder to make the celebration
yom plete. The best d igestiun of
rourse tnkes. place when we are
happy so very often on these occa
sions we tax it to the limit. We
servo dishes which are very de
licious and yet very difficult to
digest.
Another qualification of buffet
meals is that the food be easily
prepared. Foods that can be served
In one dish are very popular.
Chicken has long been consid
ered a very desirnble foundation
for this dish. It is delicious nnd
well liked by most individuals. Tho
chief difficulty is that It is very ex
pensive. Often there .will be n
party of only four. At such a time
a whole chicken would be too
much. A good substitute for the
chicken may be had by cooking
porkj ribs slowly in a closed vessel.
"When this meat Is cold it may be
cubed, then add to a well seasoned
crenm sauce. The seasoning de
Pndfi upon the individuals served.
The addition of onion Juice and
gyn peppers makes a remarknble
cjk"ken a la king!
Very nice sandwiches can he
made from this very same meat.
The addition of chopped plcklea
and mayonnaise make them very
tasty.
Since the oyster season is here,
we should take advantage of it.
Creamed oysters in ramekins are
very delightfu Buttered bread
crumbs sprinkled over the top of
the ramekin are very desirable ad
ditions to the oysters. Sauted
oysters also make a very nice buf
fet dish.
These different dishes are made
much nicer If a good hot bread is
served wlthOhem. Nothing can be
nicer than cheese biscuits. These
Mrcutts may he made by adding
about 2-3 cup of grated American
cheere to two cups of flour in your
own biscuit recipe. After you have
cut. the fat Into tha flour, add the
grated ch4&'e, then the liquid. Roll
the dough out, cut It Into smnll

If all children are given a voice

treated with the same courtesy

will respond by surprisingly effec
tive cooperation and develop a

To Mothers

On swift and Joyous wings,
And bade them seek unceasingly
Kor heaven's most cherished

For many days they wandered,
Then came with shining eyes,
Laden with Jew els of faith nnd

Anil love that never dies:
Then (iod in tenderness bent down
And gave these gifts most rare
These priceless jewels of heaven

To mothers everywhere.
Give the child all the freedo

How proud wo nre and right
fully should be of the Health
program of Medford and all
southern Oregon. What days nnd
weeks of preparation, publicity,
and good honest toll have gone
Into thnt uulquo event, "Tho
Health Honor Parade." How
anxious the children have been
to have n part In It. Not only
tho. smaller ones but through
out the schools thern has been a
splenditl response nnd coopcrntlon
on the part of children ns well
as parents. They glout over their
health are proud to measure up
to the standard. And this inter
est speaks mighty well for those
who have planned and carried out

A great amount of good has
been done already In tho dis

that might have gone unnoticed,
And time will bring about even
