Household Science SUSAN FLETCHER A welcome awaits South Africa's i golden berry in Canada. Word has heen received that the newest table delicacy to reach Canada will be presented to Canadian women at the South African exhibit at the Canadian National Exhibition. A shipment of this fruit which is canned and is made Into delicious jam has arrived at the office of the South African Trade Commissioner at Montreal together with other samples of the South African canned goods. The "Cap gooseberry" as the golden berry is sometimes called has distinction in flavour and colour. It is rightly named for the berry and the juice Is a rich golden color. As for the rare and delectable flavour, Canadian housewives will soor have an opportunity to judge in this detail. Sufficient to say that when an introduction to the golden berry was received by a Canadian woman recently at the Highland Agricultural Fair held recently at Melrose, the golden berry won praise and approval from the group of housewives who were requested to ^"taste and try." "When are they coming to Canada" the question was asked by the Canadians in the group. "We want them. They may not rival our Vancouver loganberry but they will certainly atand in high favour." The answer received from the demonstrator for the South African Exhibit at the Scottish fair was "They •Will be at the Canadian National Exhibition this fall." But as yet golden berries are not purchasable in Canada. The Canadian National Exhibition will have the ho-iour of introducing them to Canadian fcousekeepers. A recent inquiry sent to the Soutn African Trade office in Montreal brought the assurance from the Commissioner that golden berries were already in Canada. In addition to this Information, the Commissioner gave Information about this new fruit. The berry, he said, grows in a husk on a small bush about two feet high. "The fruit is enclosed in a husk resembling the flower known in Canada as *jack-o-lantern." The South African plant has a husk of a buff color. And when the berry is ripe the husk becomes dry like paper and the fruit enclosed becomes a bright golden orange. It may be eaten then like The golden berrieB, canned, are round, golden and full of juice. The delectable flavour of the juice is ticeable at once. The fruit is full of juice when eaten. The berry also appears on the market as a jam and this is equally as pleasing to the. taste. Canadian housekeepers will no doubt await some interesting cookery recipes in which they may use the golden berries. The berries are of course used with pastry, much as the cherries and gooseberries are used. England and Scotland have know the golden berries for a time and definite place has been made for this Empire product on the pantry shelves of the households of the British Isles; Canada; the sister Dominion is mor< than likely to give the fruit a wel THIS WEEK'S WINNERS Lemon and Orange Nectar Boil together for five minutes: i lbs. sugar; 1% quarts water; grated rind of four lemons; grated rind of three oranges.

GOLDEN TEXT--Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Galatians 6:7. Devotional Reading: Galatians 5: 16-24. Beginner Topic: Jesus' Friend Tells Us to Help. Lesson Material: Galatians 6, 2-5, 9, 10. Memory Verse: Love one another. John 15: 12b. 1. "Brethren, even if a man be overtaken in any trespass." That is, if he be detected in the trespass which he has committeed, before he can escape. If a man's sin is never discovered, then the problem of tne relationship between himself and others never arises. "Ye who are spiritual." That is, those who uve by the Holy Spirit, who walk in the Holy Spirit, such as Paul was referring to in the immediately preceding passage (5: 25). "Restore such a one." The verb here translated "restore" often means to "reset," or, "repair what is injured" (Matt. 5: 21; Mark 1: 19). "In a spirit of gentleness." "The restoration of a fallen brother is not to be undertaken in a distant or haugnty spirit, or in a hard, dictatorial, or censorious style, which dwells bitterly on the sin, or brings its aggravations into undue relief. "Looking to thyself, lest thou also be tempted." "It is a noticeable thing that men normally weak in any given direction are apt to be the severest judges of those who err in the same respect, just as people wno have risen out of poverty are oiten the harshest towards the poor." "Bear ye one another's burdens." The word here translated "burden" "donates any weight which presses heavily on the body or the mind, as toil, suffering, responsibility, anxiety." 3. "For if a man thinketh himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself." "If a man thinks himself so perfect that he can have no burden which others may carry with him or for him; if he regards himself so far above sin, frailty or sorrow, thaC he neither needs nor expects sympathy or help --he will not readily stoop t6"%ear the burdens of others." 4. "But let each man prove his own work, and then shall he have his glorying in regard to himself alone, and not of his neighbor." For the proving of one's work, see, e.g., Paul's classic consideration of this subject in I Cor. 3: 10*15. "For each man shall bear his own burden." The word here translated "burden" if a different one from the one similarly translated in verse 2. The one in verse 2 "points to a load of which a man may fairly rid himself when occasion serves," and is sometimes used with reference to the load carried in a boat; the word used in verse 5, however, seems ti point to a load which a man "i expected to bear." "But let him that is taught ii the word." That is, the pupil in thi catechetical class, the hearer, the church member, the one who re-js instruction in the Word of God from the minister. "Communicate unto him that teacheth in all ffood things." The word here trans- American Canoe Squad Sails for Olympics The last members of the Olympic team, the canoe squad, as they Standing: H. M.

"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." As long as the law of this verse--that whatever a man sows he will reap-- is allowed to apply to nature, to sowing seed in the ground, every living person will admit its sovereignty and truthfulness, and rejoice in it; but when this law is lifted up into moral and spiritual realms, then men are often deceived into believing that, no matter what kind of seed is sown, the consequences will not be so bad after all; or that they can sow one kind of seed and reap another. 8. "For he that soweth unto his own flesh." By the word "flesh" Paul here means "that for the gratification of which the seed is sown," or "that which forms the ruling end of the man's desires and actions, which conforms and molds the work and the aspirations of his present life." "Shall of the -flesh reap corruption." "The field of the flesh yields not full and solid ears of corn, which may be gathered up and garnered for future use, but only blighted and putrescent grain." "But he that soweth unto the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap eternal life." We must not confine our thought of this verse to the dark side. Too often the beautiful promise of the last half of the verse is forgotten. The one who sows unto the Spirit is the Christian who "walks not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." (Rom. 8:4'; "for the mind of the flesh is dead; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace" (Romans 8:6). "And let us not be weary in welldoing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." Every man and woman attempting to live a straightforward Christian life knows what it is to grow weary in doing what he knows is right. It is a constant battle. "So then, as we have opportunity, let us work that which is good toward all men, and especially toward them that are of the household of the faith." In this verse the teaching of the entire preceding passage seems to be summed up. The church of Christ on earth is frequently designated as the house or family of God (1 Tim. S: 15; 1 Peter 2: 5; Heb. 3: 6; Eph. 2: 19). Imitation flowers are one of this year's fashion fads on which British women will spend nearly £1,000,-000 during the summer. PROBLEMS OF EVERY DAY LIFE By Dr. M. M. Lappin Panicky "I am an unmarried woman, and have always enjoyed fair health, but of lace I have been subject to queer spells in which I get ?ery panicky and feel I will perhaps go and do something terrible. The doctor says there is nothing wrong with me and I don't feel ill. Can you tell me what gives rise to such feelings?" Why yes! You are too much in focus with your own consciousness. You should think less about yourse/.f and more about others. Now that is not intended in any unkind way, but from your letter it is obvious that that is just your trouble--you are allowing your mind to dwell too much upon yourself. Perhaps you will tell me you cannot help it, and I dare say you can't. It may be due to the fact that certain emotions have been denied a satisfactory outlet, and that you are deliberately repressing perfectly legitimate and natural desires. That is quite common, and invariably it leads to symptoms just such as you have described. And now for the cure. It lies entirely with yourself. Find some new interests in life which will give you an opportunity to express yourself and provide an outlet for those pent up emotions which are at the root of your trouble. There is much that you can do. Why hot give yourself to some kind of social work? Go out and find some lonely person needing companionship, or some invalid or aged person whom you could help. Perhaps you could find an interest in some such organization as the Girl Guides where you could render helpful service to others and incidentally to yourself. Whatever else ymf do, you must not allow yourself to dwell on any morbid thoughts that come into your mind. The moment they enter, switch the mind to something else. Get up .and go for a walk, or take a good cheery book and read it,--do anything, at all that will serve to divert your^ mind from those depressing thoughts which are getting you down. --erhaps you could find some ab-i sorbing interest in taking up somej new line of study. Some folks have' found that helpful. If you decide on1 this, you should choose some subject in which you can really he interested; and, if possible, which will lead you to read literature of the happy ancfc inspirational sort. Above all, don'tj give way to negative thinking. Thinki positively and constructively. When all is said, the teaching ofi the Great Teacher who said, "He that will lose his life shall find life" has never been surpassed. That is why I always advise trying to live for the sake of others. Those who live for others always find happiness and rarely are victims of morbidity.
