* t Woman^s World By Miir M. Morgan Strawberries Are "In" Do you nniember the old-fashioned â- trawberry jam that was given to us aa -children? SonK-thing so dark- <olorcd, io rich and sweet that there wa» bardly any real strawberry flavor leftâ€" and a little of that old- fashioned jam went a long way â€" or •Is* one got a stomach ache. That •trawberry jam was made by such lonc-bolling methods that It lost much of its flavor as it depended up- «« the sugar to make it thick. But «ow strawberry jam may be a thing of beauty both in looks and in taste »â€" that gorgeous fresh strawberry flavor is retained because of bottled fruit pectin which calls for such short boiling that even the lo\'ely color and â- hap* of the berries can be retained. And as for strawberry jelly â€" our frandmothcrs would have said straw- Ikrry jelly was an impossibility or at least a miracle, as strawberry juice couldn't be made to "jell". Wouldn't ah* be astonished to see and taste the itrawberrj' jelly the modern house- wife can make! It is one the high lights of the jam cupboard, and how food It is all year with hot biscuits «r with soft cream cheese on toast. Did you ever taste strawberry )im or jelly with Devonshire or clotted cream? That is a last course that will give any hostess a reputation for â- mart desserts-. Strawberry Jelly 4 cups (2 lbs.) juice, "Ms cups (3% ftl.) sugar, 1 bottle fruit pectin. Use only fully ripened berries. Crush thoroughly and drip through Jelly bag. Do not drip overnight as tincooked juice ferments quickly. Measure juice and sugar into large aaucepan stir, apd bring to a boil. At once add pectin, stirring constant- ly, and then bring again to a full rolling boil and boil hard '/4 minute. Remove from fire, let stand 1 min- Bte, skim, pour quickly. Cover hot Jelly with film of hot paraffin; when Jelly i» cold, cover with hi inch of hot paraffin. Roll glass to spread paraf- fin on sides. Requires about 3 quarts berries. Makes about 11 eight^unce glasses. A few weeks later along tome the raspberries and this recipe may again be used for raspberry Jelly.

Stars Meet Stan :i::;,Mm^m:fms^X;&m'i'MM The Good Old Days Looking over some old papers we noticed the report of a wedding 36 years ago, and at that time it was customary to publish a list of the pre- sents given to the bride, observes the Peterborough Examiner. In the list were two pickle dishes and a kruet stand. People do not give kruet stands today and It Is not likely the pickle dish Is as popular as It was some years ago. The pickle dish always stood up straight. There was a glass container on a silver bas* ajid a handle running up over the top. and at the side was a place for a pair of tongs or pincers with a c'.awliSe arrangement at the end. The glass container was generally green or pink. The pickle dish never got worn out from being used too much. It gener- ally stood on the sideboard and It was mAich handler to put the pickles In a dish and spear (hem with a fork But the kruet dish stand did come In for more use. It was like an ele- vated cake plate flat on top with places for a salt and pepper dish and for the vinegar, and generally room for another to hold mustard or any such thing. When It got put In the centre of th e table It looked as though the table were partly set already. But It generally needed a fair amount of shining to keep It from tarnish- ing and It made people at the far end of the table do a lot of reaching. Doth the kruet stand and the pickle dish had quite a run In the season of weddings. We dare say a good many hormes could produce the kruet stand from the top shelf today. They never raiue In handy for anything else. Not like a Hpoon holder. The spoon holder could be used for a long time and as there were always spoons to be held the holder was useful. Then after a speH when the children came the spoon hobler was often a good thing to use when came to biting through the first teeth. Tho child could not swallow tho thing nor could It possibly got the Bpoon holder down its throat to produce choking, and If It fell on the floor It would not bre.-ik. rrohnbly that's why the spoon holder outlived the kruet stand and the picklo dish "If you go on being reartionery long enough you will always find that you have become revolutionary." â€" G.

I s UNDAY choolesson an LESSON I. â€" JULY 5th THE COMING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN POWER Acts 1:6-14; 2:1-47 GOLDEN TEXT: Ye shall receive power . when the Holy Spirit Is come upon you; and ye shall be my witnesses both In Jerusalem, and In ail Judaea and Samaria, and un- to the uttermost part of the earth. â€"Acts 1-8. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING TIME â€" The ascension of Christ occurred on Thursday, May 18th, 30 A.D.. as far as we are able to judge. and Pentecost occurred teu days la- ter, May 28. The first and second chapters of Acts, therefore, are sep- arated by a ten-day period. PLACE â€" The city of Jtrusulem. "They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying. Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?" The disciples are here assembled together not far from Hethany. on the Mount of Olives from, which point the Ix)rd was short- ly to ascend. "And he said unto them. It Is not for you tx) know tlme.s or geasons, which tho Father hath set within his own authority." The Ix)rd doe.s not re- buke their supposed Ignorance, nor does he tell them that they are mis- taken. "But ye shall receive power." It;r. Luke 24 : 49.) The pre-eminent task of these apostles was to witness to the facts concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, that, through this wltnes.slng, men might be convicte* of sin and brought to a recognition of Christ as their Savlous. "When the Holy Spirit Is come upon you." The Ixiok of Acts has frequently been called "the Acts of the Holy Spirit." ".\nd ye shall bo my witnesses both In Jerusalem, and In all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost parts of the earth. '• Here Is an actual outline of the book of Acts: Jerusalem is The center of the events recorded In 1:1 to 8:3; Ju. daea and Samaria witness the events recorded from 8:4 to U : 18; while the events occurring in the rest of the book of Acts may be described as tak- ing place In "the utterniosl part of the earth." "And when he had said these things as they were looking, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out t)f their Bight." This Is the last time the disciples were to see (he Lord Jesus on earth. "They were all tosether In one place." Probably the room In which the disciples were previously assemb- led (see 1:13). "And suddenly there came filom heaven a sound as of the rushing of .1 mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting." This sound camo from heaven, which may refer both to the sensible Impression of a sound descending from above and to its real supernatural origin as caused by God himself. "And there appeared unto them the tonngues parting, asunder, like as of fire." Fire like wind was symbolic ot the divine presence (Ex. 3:2), and of the Spirit who purifies and sanctifies (Ezek. 1:13; Mai. 3:2). "And It sat upon each one of them." That Is, one tonngue like as of fire sat upon each one of those assembled In this room. "And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit.'' Being filled with the Holy Spirit Is simply having one's entire nature yielded to the sway and power of the Spirit of God. "And be- gan to speak with other tongues, as tho Spirit gave them utterance. These disciples probably knew Hebrew, Ar- amaic, and Greek. Now there were dwelling at Jerus- alem Jews, devout men. from every nation under heaven." From a census taken in the time of Nero, we know that more than 2,700,000 Jews were gathered at the passover feast, and still greater numbers came to Pente- cost. "And when this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speaking in his own language. 7. And they were all amaz- ed and marvelled, saying, Behold, are not all these that speak Galileans? S. And how hear ye, every man in our own language wherein we were born?" It is interesting to notice that the list ot countries mentioned includes all the lands to which the Israelites had been banished and where they had been settled tor centuries, as well as those countries to which they had come voluntarily. "Parthiaus.'' Parthia, inentioneU here only In the New Testament. Is placed first, not only because ot the vast extent ot its empire from India to (he Tigris, but because it then was the only power which had tried Issues with Rome and had not been defeat- oil. "And Medes." Included In the great Parthian Empire, with their territory east ot the Tigris, and to the north ot Elam. A map should be consulted for these various countries. "And Elamltes." Elam lay north of the Persian Gudf. and south of Media.' And the dweiler.s In Mesopotamia." The great country between the Tlg'ls and the Euphrates rivers, where the kingdoms ot Assyria and Babylonia once held sway. "In Judaea." The appearance of different words Indicat- ing the territory in the southern part of Palestine in which Jerusalem was located la difficult to e.^jplain. but is found in the oldest manuscripts. "And Cappadocia, in Pontu.s and Asia. In Phrygia and Pamphylia." All these wore provinces in the territory that was known as Asia Minor. The word Asia does not mean the vast ceatin- ent that we call by that name today but the Roman province ot Asia, on the western shore ot Asia Minor, with Ephesus for its capital. ' In Egypt and the parts ot Libys around Cyrene." Theae areas were located in northern Africa. "And sojourners from Reme, both Jews and proselytes." PeMpey the Great had carried large numbers of Jews as slaves to Rome in 63 B,C., and descendants became freedmen (Acts G:9) and had many synagogues In Rome. "Cretans." Inhabitants of the large island ot Crete in the Mediterramean Sea. (See Acts 27:7; Titus 1:5, 12). "And Arabians." Arabia, of course, is that huge area south and southeast of Palestine between the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. "We hear them speaking In our tongues the might; works of God." Ot course amazement and wondei fell upon these people, as, for the firsi time In their lives, they heard Galil- eans in Jerusalem speaking in theU various native tongues. "This Jesus did God raise up, where of we all are witnesses." The fact that God raised Christ up Is a proof that God was satisfied with Christ. "Being therefore by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise ot the Holy Spirit, he hath poured forth this, that ye see and hear." The apostie Peter now comes back to the subject with which he opened his sermon, the out- pouring ot the Holy Spirit. "For David ascended not Into the heavens, but he saith himself. The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand." "Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet." Having shown the resurrection ot the Christ to be the subject of an ancient- prophecy, he now proves the same ot his exaltation. Let all the house of Israel therefore know Sjsuredly, that God hath made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified." The conclusion of Peter's sermon Is the inevitable termination ot the argument he has been building up. provided all ot his previous statements are based oa fact as they are. '.Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart." The Holy Spirit had used the message of Peter as a two-e<Iged sword piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit. "And said unto Peter and the rest ol tho apostlea, Brethern. what shall w© do?" Herein is the difference between the Word of God and other so called sacred books, and especially philoso- phical works. They appeal to the mind, whereas the Word ot God goei' further and demands action. "And Peter said unto them. Repent ye." The apostles began, as the Bap- tist began (Matt. 3:2) as the Christ himself began (Matt. 4:17; Mark It 14), with the exhortation to repent- ance to a change of heart and lite, not to a mere regret tor the past. "And b6 baptized everyone of you in the imme of Jesus Christ." First the inward change, and then submission to th« external rite. Baptism Is a sign and a symbol of the washing away of our sins. "Unto the remission ot your sins.'' This is the word used by the Lor4 Jesus In referring to the power of hl( blood to wash away our sins. "And ye shall receive the gift ot the Holy Spirit." Luke refers to the gift ot the Hol.v Spirit four times In this book, here and In 8:20: 10:45; 11:17; It \m spoken ot by no other evangelist.
