Thess., v., 21. When the walls are being rebuilt In is easy to imagine that the foundations are being destroyed. Old creeds pass away, but truth remains; if they were true in their day they do but give place to the larger truth of the new day. We need to distinguish between the turmoil attendant to the process of building and the beauty of the new temple. that arises. . The old folks hear the new truths and ask where are the foundations gone? The young hear the discussion between the old and the new and ask, is there anything settled, any worth believing? What are the permanent elements in rrhgion on which the life may build While the things that are but temporary are adjusting themselves? It would be the height of folly to as- sert that there is no change. Some say that we must believe precisely the same things as our fathers believed. To do so would be to be false to our fathers, for they refused to accept the traditions of their elders. The land- marks we leave behind once were far in front of the seekers after truth. Truth is ever changing; our vision is ever enlarging. The road remains. but the traveler moves on. With the living every day has some new light. Creeds are crystalized statements of truth; truth is vital and cannot be contained 111 UNCHANGING FORMS. Credulity blindly accepts yesterdays picture of truth; faith, with open eyes, seeks toâ€"day’s truth itself. Skepticism is much less sinful than credullty. The sloth of the man who will not examine things, will not prove them, who prefers to buy his garments of truth ready made, results in what is worse than unbelief, and that 'is blind belief in the false. How may we find those things that are certain? How may we discover the truth for our day, the truth upon which we may build? Surely there are some things fixed and certain, there is somewhere pole star and compass. How may we find that truth which be- longs to our day and in which we may have the confidence that our fathers had in their truth? The test of the vital truths is a prac- tical one. Only these truths are vital which concern the present business of living in all its wide sweep. It is a matter of indifference what we may think of the color of angels" hair or the number of strings to their harps; it is a vastly different matter what we may believe as to moral obligation, human rights, and duties. . The test of creed is an ethical one. What things work out best in living, 'what are. the ideals, doctrines, beliefs that make the noblest characters and THE MOST USlzt-UL CITIZENS, the best sons. and daughters,- and par- ents, and neighbors? What are the things that help me in my life, the things that give me mo 'al stimulus and bracing, the things that lead me to covet the best? The way to find the truth is to do the. truth; only the truth that we can do is worth discussing. If you will give yourself to the business of living the truth you have you soon will have the living truth for this new day. Too many people are holding up as saving doctrines matters of philosophy and speculation, matters of childish curiosity, because it is easier to hold these things theoretically than to hold living truth practically. The truths that save men are the ones that change their characters; the great authorized and divine translation of the Bible is its translation into present day lofty break into bits. living.

Introduction of Oil Fuel Has Great Value From Naval Standpoint. The news that the British Admiralty have decided to construct storage tanks at the Clarence Victualling Yard, Portsmouth, capable of containing 20,- (mil tons of oil fuel, indicates that the American reports to the effect that oil fuel is on the eve of replacing coal in the British navy are at least founded on fact. Though South Wales may re- main unperturbed for some years longer, since the process of replacing cc al by oil willvbe a gradual and a slow one, it is a process which will continue, and which will ultimately have to be taken into serious account. The introduction of oil fuel is cf great value from the naval standpoint. for two reasons. In the first place, it gets rid of the great difficulty of coal- ing at sea. In the second place, it enormously reduces the number of stokers carried; it, indeed. it does not practically eliminate the stoker. It would thus enable the Admiralty to reduce the personnel, and the saving in this direction might almost offset the great cost of oil, as compared with cent, which is at present one of the strong- East arguments against the use of oil no]. In the modern destroyer there is no necessity to shovel coal from the bunker to the stok-chold floor and then to throw it with a violent effort on the furnace. Nor have fires to be cleaned at short intervals. All that the stoker has to do is to turn on or off his valves, sup- plying oil to the burners. The heat given out does not vary, but remains almost constant, and there are no des- perate struggles of exhausted men to maintain steam when the vessel is run- ning at high speed.

Four drops of turpentine on a spoon- ful of brown sugar will relieve a cough in its early stages. 'l‘ul'pcrtinc and lard applied to the chest of the little patient. will overcome a severe case. of croup. Turpentine applied freely to (-orns and bunions will remove the soreness. 'l‘wo drops of turpentine on the tip of a feather and thrust gently down the. throat. will cm-rect a severe case of gripes in chickens. For foul fool. wash the affected part with castilc soap suds and then apply a little turpentine and lard to the affected part.

A squeeze of lemon improves scram- bled eggs, and should be add-ed while they are cooking. lioll sausages in flour before frying. It will prevent breaking and also im- prove the flavor. Wash over the undercrust. of a pic with the white of an egg, not beaten, to prevent its being soggy. Never beat or stir cereals or rice with a spoon. It makes them pasty. Use a plated silver fork. For mixing flour and water use a fork or egg pleater to make it smooth and free from lumps.

Hang the back of a skirt next to the wall in the closet; then, if there is any wrinkling, it will not come in the front, where it would be more. conspicuous.

An authority says the following mcu thod is an excellent way of testing the heat of an oven for cake-lurkin g. Thrust the hand well inside. and if it can be kept in while thirty is being counted it is the requisite degree of boat. If it has to be withdrawn before, then the cakes in all likelihood will suffer. The oven door should not be opened until at least twenty minutes have elapsed after put- ting the cakes in, and if it has to be closed again it must be done gently. as the ~slarrnning of the door creates a drought and causes the mixture to fall. When the cake appears to be cooked in- sert a knife or knitting needle, and if either emerge perfectly clean then the cake is done. .3â€" ._.. llUSBA‘ND-CATCHERS’ CLUB. Mutual Benefit Asso- ciation.

If the fiancee of a member is unfaith- ful. or breaks his word, all the mem- bers, not one excepted, shall revenge their companion. In case of a broken engagement the members will endeavor to find the vic- tim another husband. On marrying a member ceases to be. long to the club, but will not be lost sight of and will be assisted in case of need.
