E., Dur- ham in the Manchester Guardian, I remember those big dinners and the days of thought required to pre- pare the menu, Twenty-four guests perhaps and a dinner to be arrang- ed that gave a wide choice of dishes for all, And diners were critical and particulary, Certain houses were noted for their cooks. Epicures who thought they had not beem well fed would not accept a dinner again at the house. Carving Fine Art In preparing a dinner there wag not only the menu to consider and «discuss but the serving of the sep- arate items. the master of the house carved at the head of the table and that carv- ing was a fine art, an expert job, Certain dishes entailed a special ceremony. The Victorians talked about food and made a cult of it. They ate well, but, judging by the large amount of food left over and on which the family lunched for days afterwards, I do not think they ate more than a reasonable amount, Lindsay Man, 92, Loves His Swim oo Robeit Ferguson Whiteside --is the grand old "young" man of Little Britain, On- * ¢ tario, near Lindsay.

PAN Run The Family On 50-50 Basis You'll Be Happiest That Way --Director Institute of Fam. ily Relations Says Husband and Wife Should Share Man- agership ' Families in which the wife is the manager are happy in 47 per cent. of the cases; 'families where the man {8 dominant are happy in 61 per cent. of the cases, and families where both husband and wife share the managership are happy in 87 per cent. of the cases, according to Dr. Paul Popenoe, director of the Los Angeles Institute of Family Re- lations, His conclusion; therefore, is that those families in which the hus- band and wife are on a 50-50 basis in dominating the family life have a much greater chance of happi- ness than those in which the family ig either dominated by the husband or by the wife. Have Better Chance The statistics were based upon a survey of thousands of families that had remained intact for a period of five or more years, and was con- ed section of the population. While the 50-50 basis of running the family is the best one, Dr, Pope- noe said that "if there must be only one head to the family, it is obviously safer for the husband to be the head than the wife." / Children's Teeth Inferior Today Children of the present day "have poorer mouth conditions than their grand-parents in spite of a much better dlet and today it is common to find inflammatory gum conditi- ons in patients of 'teen age which formerly was regarded as a disease of middle age," Dr. C.

GOLDEN TEXT What then? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid. Romans 6: 185, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.-+The book of Ecclesiastes was written sometime late in 'Solomon's life, perhaps between 986 and 995 B.C.; the epistle of Paul to the Romans was written in A.D. 60. Place.--We do not know where Solomon wrote the book of Ec- clesiastes, probably in the city of Jerusalem. The epistle of Paul to the Romans was written from Corinth, that great city of Greece, to the Christians in Rome, the capital of the world in Paul's day. In the first chapter of this book Solomon has recorded the failure of his search for contentment and abounding joy in the pursuit of wisdom. He now turns from the pursuit of wisdom to the pursuit of pleasure. ' I. I said in my heart, Come now, I will prove thee with mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure: and, be- hold, this also was vanity. Solo- mon here records a monologue, the result of talking with his own heart. ~The pursuit-of this scarch led him to the same conclusion as the previous search -after wisdom, namely, that it was all in vain. 2. I said of laughter, It is mad; and of mirth, What doetb it? Heart-Searching 3. I searched in my heart. The language implies a most intense study, as well as effort, to solve a difficult problem. How to cheer my flesh with wine. My heart yet guiding me with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what it was good for the sons of men that they should do under heaven all the days of their life. Solomon says that, while he ex- pects to give himself to the pleas- ure of wine, yet he is going to do so under the restraining influence of the wisdom which he had pur- sued in the preceding chapter. In other words, he was going to be both wise and foolish. 10. And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them; I joy; for my heart rejoiced because of all my labor; and this was my portion from all my 1abor. And Found Empty 11. Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labor that I had lab- ored to do. And, behold, all was vanity and .. striving after wind, and there was no profit under the sun. Again Solomon is forced to confess that ¢ll this vast activity, these great successive undertak- ings turned out to be emptiness and turned out to be emptiness and vanity, as the pursuit of wisdom and the pursuit of wine had done before, : In the verse immediately pre- ceding the section in this chapter assigned to our lesson, Paul an- nounces the principle that we are the slaves of that principle to which we yield obedience. 17. But thanks be to God, that, whereas ye were servants of sin. All men by nature, by habit, by "act, by the yielding of their wills, are slaves to sin; but, when a man accepts the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the deliverer from sin, he can praise God that this enslavement to sin was in the past, and does not continue into the present. Ye became obedient from the heart. To that form of teaching where- ynto ye were delivered. The guid- ing principles learnt from the preaching of the gospel. Servant of Righteousness 18. And being made free from sin, ys» became servants of right- eousness, There is no intermed- iate moral condition between the one service and the other. Only as slaves of righteousness can we cease to be slaves of sin, 19. 'I speak after the manner of men because of the. infirmity of your flesh.

Tribe of igines, Noted For Beauty, Is overed By Australian Explorer Fred Blakeley, noted Australian author and explorer, has returned from the interior with the an- nouncement that he has discov. ered a new tribe of aborigines that represent "the purest des- cendants of the earth's original in- habitants." He advocates the establishment of the tribal territory into a re- serve that would be kept free from missionaries, prospectors and mounted police, in order that the tribe may retain its purity and continue to develop in a natural manner, He declared the women are beautiful and the men of magnifi- cent physique. The skins of the tribe are so light that they use charcoal for marking their bodies. "The girls have lithe bodies and tiny feet," he said, "and if some of them were to walk along the © city beaches they would cause a sensation." Blakeley declared it is probably the last chance the world will ever have to see a native tribe develop normally, without taking on any of th "bad characteristics of mod- ern civilization" if it can just be kept on its own preserve free from outside influences.

Fven so now present your membei= as servants io righteous. ness nnto sanctification. Here Paul commends a defirite yield- ing of all the members of the Christian's body to obedience to righteousness, ie., to the right. eous law of God. 20. For when ye were servants of sin, ye were free in -egard of righteousness. When we were un- redeemed, living under the power of sin, we paid no attention to righteousness. 21, What fruit then had ye at that time in the things whereot ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. The probable meaning here will thus be, Dd you find any happiness cr profit resulting? The "Wages" of Sin 22. But now being made free from sin and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life 23. For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is cternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. The word "wages" strictly denotes pay for military service. Death in its most awful sense is no mote than the reward and the result of sin; and sin is nothing less than a conflict against (lod. . Rom. 14: 21.

Plant Bulbs Irregularly Some Can Be Left in Ground and Will Multiply No matter on how small a scale bulbs are naturalized, they must be planted in an irregular fashion. An old Dutch bulb pMnter advo- cates a simple system: "Take a handful of bulbs and drop them on the ground about where you wish to plant them, Let them roll, and then plant each one just where it lies." Some of these spring flowering bulbs may be left in the ground and will multiply, thus building the initial purchase into an in- creasing investment of beauty and enjoyment, Daffodils and Crocuses There are, of course, the daffo- dils that should be planted to get the best results before October is well under way.
