indeed quite a lot conceded the youngmlnister and just to be plain and blunt continued nancy i think youre asking a considerable lot of me when you want me to spend all my vtacation- at this place but f the sake o yourwqrk soon away- yes soon replied her brother they were looking out at the completed church the september sun was shin ing on its white spire you surely did work to get that done eldred and they both laughed even uncle ambrose declares the bans off said eldred the parsonage that had seemed so small before seemed very large and empty after nancy went away then one gldrloiis

in spiration the noon hour was approach ing as rapidly as the clock would allow it a for various re fh r i i a f tpr m might sometimes be served earlier than is the general custom while uncle ambrose talked his own potatoes were steaming on the stove nancy made bakingpowder blscuits and fluffy cup cakes she opened some of the canned food thlxt she and eldred had brought along to meet a possible emergency then she went on an exploring expedi tion to discover the best table nagery and dishes to be found in her strange surroundings she found a real linen for not- returning some calls you are the only person here- whojmeans any thing to me eldredshesaid very frankly i should not be here but for your sake i cannot care- for these people i do not even know their names nor wish to know them why must i bran pretend to be interested in them nancy soon learned to care for them- and so will you encouraged the young minister amy shnnif ficr frpari nnnny l nn young she said schoolgirls easily mother looks to her menus instead of prescriptions what is an intelligent balance of food pmctically speaking if the days meals include cereals two or morevegetables besldespotatoes tone fresh if possible fruit plenty of milk quart for children and pint for adults is ideal and some form of protein cheese eggs meat nuts and flshj besides the iisual bread butter and dessert they will likely be ibalanced if this plan is followed you need- not worry about vitamins minerals or the many other food elements l a very modern ailment and one which our- ancestors did not have to guard a as as we do is cu tion we exercise- very little and we eatr far too many soft foods naturally looked almost snowy when spread on the diningroom table she also found some flowered cups and saucers and goldbanded plates it was so exciting this getting ready for ah unexpected guest that her cheeks were flushed and- her eyes shining when nancy went out to invite eldred and the caller to the dining room why why exclaimed uncle ambrose rising i had no idea it- was anywhere near dinner time i must be going this was met by cordial opposition by j1l try to do my best she added after pause tnow youre striking the right trail sis of course i understand that quite a bit of your success heie will depend on me for a while and then on amy al ways thats why i pitied heiv you know im in for it just till september ill domy best for you eldred just as i promised you im sure of that eldred put his arm reassuringly about his sisters shoul ders let me tellyaut a secret that will make ifiaasler dont think of it as my work think of it as his work think of the man of galilee depending on you and amy and me to do our little part our level best to help him give himself to the world thats needing him so much but doesnt know it otuch may be expressed toy a nod nancy did not reply but nodded eldred released her with an approving pat on the- shoulder and took up a huge leather- bound commentary nancy looked appeallngly at the smil ing face of amy brevard a mute under standing seemed to bind them in a secret compact somehow it seemed to nancy that this older girl must under stand how she was doing ah this just for eldred the man of galilee seemed so far away strong and p6werful need tag no help while eldred was close by and needing some one very much to help him succeed as a minister nancy hurried from the narrow hall way out to the narrow front porch and almost into uncle ambrose before she saw him hesitating beside the open door i am speaking to mrs eldred mcdonald if i am not mistaken the man began hat in hand while at his feet rested a little basket of early irish potatoes oh no nancy assured him im id h u uncle ambrose wavered then nancy clinched the matter by saying i prepared dinner a little early torday eldred and i meant to drive about the neighborhood 6pme this afternoonr oh mr kellamwoumyou mind going with us there is plenty of room in the car for three you could fshus where everybody lives their names and everything she did not look at eldred when she made this sug gestion perhaps he would think she mas carrying the initiative too far while his young host- and hostess must have sensed that their old guest was pleased they dldnot know how very happy they were making uncle am brose when had he ever been special company before with eager listeners to hang on his every word no matter how old nancy may live to be she will never forget that wonderful day she met eldreds flock at brierfleld with uncle ambrose as guide she and eldred learned the names and saw the faces of the greater portion of the church family- the young pastors heart warm ed asuncle ambrose introduced him in such rank and original words as ive brought our new preacher to find- out where you live you wont find any gray hairs on his head nor wrinkles on become enthusiastic over anything now soon eldrea began to wear a troubled look we are so happy just we too his young wife maintained why must we worry about others one day when eldred returned from making s6me calls alone he drew some sprigs of horehound from his- u pocket when amyran out tomeet him thats for your cold he smiled amy has a cold had been the excuse this time oh horehound cried amy sniffing jo im better already let guess who sent that eldred was it tfouirve6awii efltetsof elimination the resis tance of infection is lowered and

keep house eldreds twentyfive but i thought the folks here knew that he was not mar ried well we were so informed said hlsbrowji but theres anianstiaaa oh his shoulders and a real christian heart in his breast it would have taken eldred mcdon ald many weeks- to- have mfade such a good start at pastoring the flock as uncle ambrose gave him that afternoon nancy too came in for her share of the trumpeting come and meet the preachers sister said uncle arnbrdse to every young person they encountered you lyouhg folks are going to like her shes a fine girl who will help you out with your sunday school and young folks fandangle 1iri just nancy said the girl i like to go to sunday school and to oiing peoples meeting and il help ill i can that night alone in her own room in the parsonage- nancy sat by the window looking out at r moonlight gleaming on the walls of the new enure in her mind she- could j see the little company that would gather there on sunday morning somehow she seemed to know them all now and to care she had not cared before except for eldred and his success eldred whohi she hoped some day would be a wonderful orator and sway multitudes of people she had wanted just that before a belated fanner come down the moonlit road slowly afoot as his form was silhouetted against the church somehow the thought of jesus over- whelmed the girl at- the window thats the way he used to gr walking like i never realized until to how sefflsh i have been since i came here it was something i found in the room where nancy slept that opened my blind eyes as- we say it seems to be a kind of little brides book that nancy must have mlade for me but for some reason she did not give it to me with the other gifts she must have meant it as a srprise find and so it was isnt it the sweetest little thing she spread before eldreds wondering gaze a little booklet made of sheets of white paper tied with blue ribbon over her shoul der he scanned such broken switches fro the p ax- remember always to be very res pectful to mr kellam and to call him uncle ambrose hes a true friend and a real christian remember the girl nlamed mrs charlie plumley she isnt any older than a high school girl and she has a littje baby who is sick dont forget to make the baby a little iwhite dress and some blue crocheted bootees help her any way you can toes have been whipped into a smooth flufflness to delight the taste the bread has been prepared from flour stripped and nothing could be creamier of softer than a cus- tard there is practically no roughage in the meal as it stands and often such menus are the underlying cause of many cases of constipation we can improve the meal by a few simple changes string beans and lei tuce have a healthful natural fibre of their own by serving the specified muffins we add bra which pt nnty- an excellent source of roughage but it talso contains tho valuable minerals copper and iron dried fruits dan be relied upon to furnish roughage because of their seeds skins and fibrous meats in making these changes we have not only improved the meal nutritionally but we have made it more appetizing arid interesting time to duck hasnt that fellow written a- book yes and if you arent careful hell give you a copy go to see grandma rawlngs often she looks so hungry for something dif ferent xo happen stay a good while with her and tell her things every thing she gets has to be taken to her and dont forget to take anything you dan to make her happy remember the -boy- who is hired to the goodson famuyliyauevoeliave a chance lend rrfmsome of your hooks hes smart and never had a chance dont forget his name is joseph praley speak at church bring the best thoughts you can to the young peoplesmeetings dont do anything just to help eldred succeed try always to think of the man ot galilee depending on you its only his success that counts why bless my life murmured eldred smiling strangely amy was nearer crying eldrejl she gas in the stomach is
