Hutchinson, is a book ! that has called forth widely different | expressions of opinion from the | reading public. Many people have read it with a pre-conceived idea that they would not like it. They had not cared for the author ovels, "If Winter Comes" and "This | reedom," and therefore were pre- pared to dislike Mr. Hutchinson's | Dew book. But this novel his in it something that the earlier books seemed to lack, and that is purpose. The first novel of A: 8. M. Hutchin- | son to be widely read and discussed | Was "If Winter Comes." Written just after the war it was intended to show a phase of life in England at that time. To many of us it seemed an unpleasant book. The Baglish Was not particularly good and the | characters, although cleverly and strongly drawn, seemed to be all struggling with restlessness and un- happiness. In Mr. Hutchinson's next novel "This Freedom," the disas- troys results of the determination of the characters to be free from all re- straints made the theme of a still more unpleasant book. But in "One Increasing Purpose" the author has seen a light that dispels the dark clouds of pessimism that shadowed bis former books, and in a story, not by any means a literary gem and much too long, gradually unfolds his belief in St. Paul's words, "I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth In me," and that the Incarnation means not only that God became man but that God is in everyman whom He has made In His own image. And that the Kingdom of Heaven to which the little children belong will come again upon earth when men allow the divine in them to guide them. The family whose members were al- ways doing "Kingdom of Heaven kindnessés" and whose home was an abode of peace and cheerfulness, epitomizes the world ax it would be if each man and woman recognized the divince in each other and bound BY that sacred bond, "in honor pre- ferred ofie another." Some of us who have followed Mr. Hutchinson's writings will feel that from having only a vague discontent with mod- ern life, he has awakened to the hope expressed by Tennyson: "That through all the ages ome in- creasing purpose runs, And the thoughts of men are widen'd with the process of the suns." It is the old, old gospel of peace on earth to men of good will, the message the angels sang as they an- nounced the stupendous fact that the child was born who was to béar the name "Emmanuel, God with us." Thére are. many criticisms to be made a¥ to, the way in which Mr. Hutchinsop has developed his idea, but it is here undoubtedly, and we may hope for a more coficrete ex- pression of it in the future, LANTERN SLIDES OF JAPAN. Shown to St. George's Mother's Club on Thursday h The mefibers of the Mothers' Club of St. George's Cathedral enjoyed a Tare treat on Thursday evening, when Mrs. H. F. Woodsworth, of Kobe, Japan, showed them hor beautiful colored slides of the Flow. ery Kingdom. Some of the picturés shown gave the reason for the name used in compliment to the exquisite flowers of Japan, for great aszalea bushes, chrysanthemums Canadians could only dream of, and lotus blos- soms blooming among their green leaves, were shown: in their natural colors painted by Japanese artists and therefore absolutely correct. The scenery of mountain and lake, Fugi San the sacred mountain of Japan, the modern bufldings of Tokio, some of them since destroyed by the sarth- quake of 1923 and afterwards re- built, were shown and also the old, old temples and castfes of Japan - With. their 'curved roofs, strange architecture and beautifully kept grounds where the stone lanterns characteristic of Japan were seen.

Nomination papers had been sent back to the secretary from some societies, but not from all for the officers to be installed at the annual meeting of the Kingston Local Coun- eil to be held on Feb. 18th.

The matter of the Juvenile Court was brought up and plans were made to press the ques- tion with the city council. ¥ { MENUS i Ts A A td Breakfast--Baked apples, cereal, thin cream, creamed finnan haddie, cornmeal muffins, milk, coffee. Luncheon--Casserole of ~ vege: tables, raisin bread, caramel cus- tard, milk, tea. Dinner--Baked halibut steak, creamed potatoes, buttered string beans, stuffed prune salad, rice souffle, graham bread, milk, coffee. The beans suggested for the dinner menu are canned rather than fresh. If canned vegetables are thoroughly aerated before heating and seasoning the vegetable is much improved. Let stand at last an hour in an un covéred china or glass dish and shake two or three times-to be sure the piéces underneath "come up for air." A teaspoonful of sugar im- proves nearly all canned vegetables. Casserole of Vegetables. One cup cooked peas, 1 cup diced cooked beets, 1 cup diced cooked carrots, 1 small head cauliflower, 4 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon flour, salt and papper, 2 tablespoons grated cheese, boiling water. Melt butter, add peas, beets and carrots and shake over a low fire until vegetables are well coated with butter. Bift flour and salt over veg- etables and stir carefully with a fork. Put the cauliflower which has stood for-an hour head down in cold salted water, in' the tentre of a but- 'tered casserole. Surround with vegetables and add about 1 cup of boiling water. Season with salt and pepper and cook in a hot oven for 30 minutes. Remove cover, sprinkle | with grated cheese and return. to oven long enough to melt cheese. Other. combinations of vegetables can be usel in practically the same way. Beans, corn, tomatoes and . a large spanish onion make a delicious casserole. A -------------------- Bulbs. The pots of narcissus bulbs recent- ly so popular for indoors growing should be kept in the dark for the first few days, until the roots are well started. Water should be changed weekly and the jar should be filled up daily. Peasant Jugs.
