Church Still In Use “Pigeon Creek church was founded on June 8, 1816, the rear that Thomas Lincoln and his family moved from Kentucky and settled on Little Pigeon Creek in what. was then Warrick County, Indiana territory. It was then, as now, the chief chu.“h in that Veinity. When the rseting house Was built, its site was selected about & mile west of Thomas Lincoln's home, the church butiding today oc- cupying practically the same place. When Lineoin’s mother died she was buried between their home and the church, the graveyard not having been at that time started at the church, but when Lincoln’s sister, Sarah Grisby, died in 1828, she wi buried at the church burying ground, where her grave is yet to be seen, marked by a rough stone. “This church, with {ts continuous existence since 1816, has only two books containing ‘its records and min- utes} the first covering the period from 1816 to 1840. It im in this book that we find Abraham Lincoln's father, stepmother and sister were active members of the hard-shell Bap- Ust church of Pigeon Creek, and this book with its deer skin cover, the hair still remaining, not only reveals in {ts crude historic way the true religion of Lincoln's parents, but gives us the best insight yet found to his own re- ligtous views. Lincoln's Parents Unite “Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks Were married by a Methodist minister by the name of Jesse Head, but short- ly afterward they were united with one of the churches of the Baptist Licking-Locust association of regular Baptist churches ‘in Kentucky, and When Nancy Lincoln died in Indiana, Abraham, by his own offorts, had thelr Kentucky pastor, Elder David Elkins, come to thelr wilderness home and preach his «other's funeral. “After Thomas Lincoln had mar- ried Sally Bush Johnson he eent back to his Kentucky church and obtained his letter of fellowship and as the minutes on June 1, 1823 show, he united with the Pigeon Creek church by this letter and his wife by experi. ence. From that date until they moy- ed to Lllinois in 1830, their names ap- cer frequently in the minutes of the turch proceedings, Thomas being one of the pillars of the church, act- ing as moderator, on committees to investigate the conduct of brethren and sisters, and messenger to agsocia- tions, bearing the letter of Pigeon Creek to her sister churches.

Women Begin Use of Card File in| Home Business Efficiency Applied to Caring for the Household Speeds Up the Housewives Duties and Lessens Forgetting Business efficiency methods are becoming vogue in the house domain, and the card: index system {s becoming a popular aid to kitchen work, according to the Lon- don Chronicle, whose representative found upon investigation a growing demand for the tard files. “The card index system generally used today in private kitch- er the Chronicle's representative was assured by a cookery expert. “It is not used in big kitchens over which @ chef presides, for the understand- able reason that famous chefs object to putting their famous rectpes on record.” The card index system ts in most instances used mainly for the com- pilation of recipes, it was found upon inquiry, one housewife explaining the uses to which the files might be put as follows: “It is not at all a question of copy+ ing out cookery books on to the cards, They are reserved for quite special recipes which come to me in all kinds of ways. From South American peo- ple I got details of the dishes of their country which I could not have found anywhere else. Now they are written down in my index. Family recipes contributed by my friends are also found there. “Many of my friends go further, and index practically the contents of the kitchen. The quantities of stores required monthly are filed, menus which can be arranged from stores which are always kept in the kitchen find their place, and the likes and dis- likes of relatives who are frequent visitors are docketed. For the benefit of a maid with a bad memory, the card index records the storing place of kitchen commod ities which are not in constant and simple reminders about necessary kitchen rules which she ts apt to for- get."
