Good and bad music, dirge and anthem, all are made up from these notes and their modifications. In like manner all the varieties of character are developed from a few notes with combinations. By naming these terms as we do in music, or in the scale. of colors, with which there is also a parallel, we get. this ascending'soale: Birth, physical impulse, faith, hope, love and joy. Jesus cameto earth that human lives might become anthems instead of dirges and be filled with joy and gladness. Any life which is under the sway of physical impulse only must be subject to all kinds of bit- ter passions and can never be filled reason, with peace and joy. The life-which beasts of its com- lcte control by reason cannot be xdeal, for there is much in man that s HIGHER THAN REASON. Moving 'up the scale, we discover faith to be the primal force and en- ergy of the moral realm, the world of personalities. When wecritica1~ ly inspect-the steamship or interro- gate the captain we are using-curl reasoning powers, but when weI commit our wellbcing to the care of the captain and ship to cross an unknown sea it is the moral force inherent in faith, and that only, which gives the power to do it. Faith holds the same relative posi- tion in the realm of personality that psysical energy does in the realm of the material. It furnishes vital energy for the moral religious life But we must pass above faith to hope,lfor hope opens vistas of pos- sibility and inspire-s faith to new n.0ur Being. ventures, becoming the means of moral and spiritual vision. By it Columbus saw new worlds. in float- ing reeds, which faith, seeking afar, found. “Every one that hath this hope in him,” said the apostle, re- ferring to the life to come, “puriâ€" fieth himself.” Greater than all is love, of which Jesus was speaking when He point- Ied the simple way to thehappy life. Love is the final condition of en- trance into it. When grief gives place to joy a new lease of life is issued. The very chemistry of the blood is changed. This powerful emotion of joy is attendant 'upon well-doing and well-being. Jesus was eminently faithful in_all His work, conquering temptation and ‘fbccoming obedient even unto death, “dwelling always in the con- sciousness of the Father’s love; therefore HIS LIFE WAS FULL OF JOY. ‘fIf‘you do as I am doing,” He said. “keeping God’s commands and abiding in His love, My joy shall be in you anl your capacity for joy shall be full.” Consciously or not, by putting the chief emphasis on one or anâ€" other note, wc choose a keynote for our charaiter and destiny. Theoretically we may choose joy as the keynote and practically put the emphasis upon impulse or some other note and wonder why our life is not full of joy. The keynote for Jesus was love. This put Him in touch with God, who is love, and the consciousness of God’s love made hope buoyant, inspired faith, ‘illumined reason and led impulse captive. Joy and happiness could not be absent from such a life. This joy will come to other lives and their ‘joy will be full as they follow this ideal life. ' REV. A. MacDONALD REOCII.

Characteristics of the First Epistle to the Thessalonians.-â€"Note the facts in “The Lesson in Its Setting.” 1. Review the circum- stances of the Thessalonian church as given in Acts 17. See Lesson III. of this Quart-er. Three mis- sionaries had come there from Philippi, two of them torn and bruised by terrible flagellation at Philippi, emerging from the lowest dungefi’fi of a prison, their whole aspect bespcaking “their poverty, their sufferings, their earthly in- significancc. A famine, says Farrar, “was raging in the Roman empire, and the common-est necessaries of life had risen to six times their proper value.” These poor per- secuted wanderers supported them- selves by weaving black goat’s hair int0‘ tent cloth. Here they preached a few weeks, founded a church, and were driven away by persecution. - 2. Paul longed . to visit them again, and made three vain at- tempts to do so, from Berera, from Athens, from Corinth. He felt their need of training and of more knowledge of the truth, ofcomfort, of guidance. ‘ 3. Timothv had just come back :from Th-essalonica, and had brought a report concerning the church, giving a favorable account in gen- eral. But two facts were made known by him. One was that they were suffering severe persecutions from both Jews and Gentiles; the other that they were discouraged and troubled by the death of some before the second coming of the Lord Jesus. . 4. The Epistle is very persmial and retrospective, breathing a spirit . of affection and of joy. It is full of “sweetness and .ight.” “A loving. fatherly spirit breathes in every' line.” b. If it seems strange that such a letter could be written to a church founded by Paul less than a year before, implying “the wonderful maturity of this infant church. when we compare it with the slow progress of modern missions we must remember that the first; churcu members were Jews and re- l perfection, from every without spot or ligious proselytes, long trained in the religion of the true God." Moreover, many of the Greeks were cultivated and thoughtful people, who through the gospel had been enlightened by the Holy Spirit. II. A Lesson in Morals for the Building Up of the Noblest Chris- tian Lifeâ€"V. 23. First, the Ideal and Aim. The first sentences of the Lord’s Prayer, and, therefore, of all prayer and all living. It is as necessary to have the right goal of life as for a sea captain to know the port for which he is sailing. It is by the ideal that we test our daily lives. “The religious view of heaven is no impractical thing. Think of it, earth the place where heaven is shadowed forth! ' This means that our life and affairs and conduct are to show forth the very highest that we can know or con- ccivo. If thcn‘licaven be the plabe of the real and true, is not that great, and noble, and practical ’l” The same is true of life. Every young person should know definite- ly and decidedly where he wants to go, what he wants to become, what is his ideal. 23. And the very God of peace. Better as R.V., “the God of. peace himself,” the God who brings peaceâ€"peace with himself, through sins forgiven, and natures in bar- mony with his; peace in the soul, peace of ccnscicnce, the peace of trust in God our Father; peace of righteousness, for it is only whenl' righteousness is “as the waves of the sea” that “peace can flow like a river”; peace with nature and providence; peace with our fellow- men. Sanctify you. Make you holy, pure, free from sin and im- “ taint of evil. Wholly. Unto completeness, to full perfection, in degree and in kind!

Notice. At the Union street secondbridge at North Adams, in the Berkshire Hills, Massachusetts, nearly every night 'about 7 o’clo'ck two young cats give an exhibition of catching fish, which would cause the most ardent fishermen to sit up and take notice. For the last two weeks a crowd of people has watched the cats. . In just the position they would take to catch a bird they crouch upon the edge of the stream andâ€" as a fish comes in sight with one jump either one or both land upon it, not in the least . ducking that . they often receive, and with feet and mouth break the 'neck of the fish back of its head. Hauling their prey 'LO thebankthey soon disappear, proudly carrying it away for a. splendid feed, for cats like fish even better than meat. Many persons have seen them catch a fish six or eight inches long, and one nigh last week Officer Nicholas Walsh while or the Union street beat saw the two cats work- ing together catch a fish nearly a foot long. Both cats seem to en- joy the sport. sue. LANGUID GIRLS ,_~.-._ Weak Blood During Develop- ment May Easily Cause a Life of Suffering. A Tunic Such as Dr Williams’ Pink Pillsis Nestled to Build Up the. liloul and Give New Strength. ‘ At no time in her life does a girl stand in greater need of pure red blood and the strength which it alone can give her, than when she developing into womanhood. It 13 then that any inherited tenden- cy to anaemia or consumption needs only the slightest encourage- ment to rapidly develop. This danger is'especially threatening to girls who are Confined long hours indoors, in stores, offices and facâ€" toriesâ€"girls depressed by Worry and cares. All these conditions quickly impoverish the blood and are among the most common caus- es of sickness among growing girls andyoung women. If at any time a [girl finds that her strength is failing and she becoming pale and nervous, ,has no ambition and is languid, it is a ccrtai‘nsign that her blood is failing to meet the de- nands upon it, because it is im- pure‘and thin. . It is at a time like this that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are invalu- able to young women and growing girls. .They build up the blood. make it rich, red and pure, tone the nerves and give new health and strength to every part of the body. They have cured so many cases of thiskind that they may truly be called a specific for the common diseases of girlhood. Miss MiniiiegSmith, Creighton street, Halifax, says :â€"“I have proved that Williams.’ Pink Pills are all. that is claimed for them in'cases similar to mine. About three years ago I suddenly began to run down. I grew so weak that I could hardly attend to my school studies. 'I suf- fered from headaches, my heart would palpitate violently at the least exertion, and my appetite was very fickle. I tried doctors medicine and emulsions, but the treatment did not help me. Then I started taking Er. Williams’ Pink Pills and after taking seven or eight boxes I was stronger than ever before. I feel that I owe my present good health to Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills, and gratefully recommend them to other ailing girls.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by all medicine dealers or will be sent by mail at 50 cent-s a box or six boxes for $2.5.) by The Dr. Wil liams’ Medicine 00., BroclelIe Whole spirit and soul and body. ’ out- your nature, the us to God, the And soul.

HOMEMADE ICE CREAM. party dress.(much soiled); was col- ored a dainty pink and the effect. Before setting about to make ice was great. cream give heed to this statement by an authority on the care of milk. He says: “‘Wheneveryou hear of cases of ‘ptomaine‘poison’ from eating ice cream you may be certain that the poison came from the germs left in the seams and bottoms of ice cream freezers which ' Dirty, rusty ice cream freezers breed mil- lions of germs and are the real cause of illness from eating ice cream.” There-fore, scald your freezer well, both can and dasher, before you freeze your cream. Place the can in the pail, fitting all the parts together and turning the crank to see that everything works, before you begin. This will be a time and temper saver. To prepare the ice for freezing the cream place it in a canvas bag and pound with a mallet until fine. When the cream is ready fill 1.. space between can and pail with alternate layers of ice and salt. Use rock salt, one measure of salt to three of ice. The trick about freez- ing is to turn the crank steadily until the cream is stiff. Then reâ€" move the dasher, put a clean cloth over the top of can and a cork in the hole in the cover.» Drain the water from the freezer, repack, and allow the cream to stand an hour or more. To Make Good “Makeshift.” ~â€" Sometimes an occasion arises when you wish to make a small quantity of ice cream, just enough for an inâ€" valid or when one friend drops in to luncheon. You do not feel equal to using the family freezer, but would like to know of a good “makeshift.” You will find that a small tin can with close fitting cover (cans you buy cocoa or various arti- cles of food in) will do nicely. Fill the can with the cream mixture. Then set it in the middle of a deep dish and pack arOund with alter- nate layers of ice and salt. Be sure the can is covered clqsely. Then lay wet cloths on top and set in a cool place. It should freeze solid in from one to two hours, acâ€" cording to the amount of mixture to be frozen. Cut into the thick layers on the sides of the can once or twice while it is freezing. Whipâ€" ped cream frozen this way is de- licious. One of the best mixtures for this “individual ice cream” is the Philadelphia. This is uncooked, pure, sweet cream sweetened and flavored. For one pint of scalded sweet cream allow three-quarters of a cup ofsugar, one toaspoonful or" vanilla, and one tablespoonful of brandy if you desire. The whites of two eggs beaten stiff is a valuable addition. , Vanilla the “Family” Dish. â€" Should you desire on special occa- sions to serve ice cream in indi- vidual molds take the ice cream from the can when it is stiff, pack it in the little molds, seal the edges of, these with melted paraffin, re; pack in ice, and salt. To keep ice cream a long time cover the freezer with thick wet cloths or towels. Vanilla is the ice cream most used for the family table. The simplest way to make it is by the rule given for Philadelphia cream. Cooked vanilla ice cream is made by using two cupfuls of hot milk, three- fourths of a cupful of sugar, one egg, oneâ€"eighth teaspoonful salt, one pint of cream, two tablespoonâ€" fuls of vanilla. Mix the sugar, salt, and beaten egg and add the milk gradually while stirring. Cook in the double boiler for twenty minâ€" utes, stirring well. When cool add the cream and flavoring. Strain and freeze. To make chocolate use the same recipe: Melt two squares of cho- colate and pour the hot custard slowly on it, then cool before adâ€" ding the cream. For fruit ice creams, strawberry, raspberries, peach, useeither recipe for vanilâ€" la ice cream, adding one cup of fruit mashed and one-half cup of sugar to the cream. THE LAUNDRY.

Cherry Saladâ€"Remove the stones from the fruit, and fill the cavities with whole blanched al-- monds or finely chopped nut meats. Mayonnaise flavored with marasch- éno is served, and cream cheese balls mixed with chipped mare-st chino cherries and rolled in pow- dered nut meats are placed on the side of the dish in which the salad: is served. Delicious Saladâ€"For a delicious salad make a lemon jelly with less- sugar than when it is used for des- sert, add English walnut meats, and stiffen in small molds. Before- serving turn the jelly on to plates- covered with shredded lettuce- leaves arranged in neat fashion and serve with mayonnaise. Cabbage and Peanut Saladâ€"Pre- pare two cupfuls of finely shredded white cabbage and one-fourth cup- ful of finely,chopped or ground pea-1 nuts. Pour six table-spoonfuls of olive oil into the salad bowl, add two teaspoonfuls of vinegar, 3. level teaspoonful of salt, and a salt- spoonful of pepper. Beat until Ethick; stir in nuts and cabbage. NEW PIE RECIPES. Southern Spice Pieâ€"Two cup-v fuls of sweet milk, three eggs (yolks), one cupful‘of sugar, four heaping table-spoonfuls of flour, one large lump of butter, one teaspoon- ful of cloves, one teasp-oon'ful of allspice, one teaspoonful of cinna- mon, one teaspoonful of nutmeg, and one teaspoonful of lemon ex- tract. 'Mix and cook until thick. While this cools bake pie shells; then add the filling, using the" whites of the eggs for frosting. lrown and serve cold. Tomato Pieâ€"This is a delicacy. The bottom of a rich paste is sprinkled with sugar, then the t0- matoes are sliced, more sugar ad- ded, and to each pie a tablespoon- ful of vinegar. Put on a top crust and bake the same as peach pie. USEFUL HINTS. If the-icing fails to harden on your cake, put it in the oven for a few minutes. It forms a thin crust. which in no way destroys the deli- cate icing. Put. a window shade in front of pantry shelves. If they are unpro- tected by doors it will keep out the dust much better than a curtain on a rod. If you want to rush thelcontents in the inner vessel of your deuble- boiler, add some salt to the water, one-half teacupful to two quarts of water. ‘ - Eggs may be kept from Septemâ€" ber until March by wrapping each» separately in newspaper, putting, in pasteboard boxes in a cool place and turning each day. A split banana on a lettuce leaf, half a‘ dozen cherries, sprinkled with blanched peanuts, and served with a salad dressing is a refreshâ€" ing and pretty salad.
