Golden Text, Matt. 22. 21. Vern: 15. The Phariseesâ€"They had failed to find any ground upon which they could legally proceed against Jesus, but there was a chance that they might ensnare One who dared to pronounce such wholesale conoemnations, if only they could get him to continue his talk. " 16. Send their disciplesâ€"“Young men who, like Saul of Tarsus, were being trained in", the , rabbinical schools.” ‘ ‘ ' With the Herodiansâ€"We' found in the last lesson (Matt. .21. 45), that in their common hostility to this “prophet,” the Pharisees and Sadducees were willing to forget their differences. Now, as on a former occasion (Mark 3. 6), the Pharisees join hands with their enemies in order to accomplish the undoing of Jesus. These Herodians were Sadducees, but their chief in- terest was, ‘political- . I‘hey _sided with Herod. in his arrest and execuâ€" tion of John, advocated submis- sion to Home, and were generally unpatriotic. For all this, and for their religious opinions, they, were thoroughly detested by the Phari- sees. . ' , v , We know that thou art trueâ€"It is little wonder that Jesus replied to these obsequious flatteries by denouncing his question-91‘s as hy- pocrites (18). Their very tone and manner must have suggested not the sincere wish for instruction but the villainous devices of men who acted without conscience. 17. Is it lawful to give tribute '2â€" If the motive for asking it had been. good, , this, question ‘might been asked reasonably enough. It was a much-mooted question among these people who were chafing beneath the yoke of Caesar. Should the chosen nation submit to the ignominy of supportâ€" ing a hostile heathen world-power? Both the H-erodians and the Phariâ€" , sees had a cunning interest in the If he answered it would be equivalent to a counsel of submis- sion to Rome, and this Would em- bitter against him the common answer of Jesus. peOple, whose enthusiasm for Jesus up to this time had kept the rulers from violence. On the other hand» the H-erodians knew that Jesus was from Galilee. which was the center of popular revolt against any for- eign power, and among his follow- ers was one of the party of Zea- lots. It was natural to expect therefore, that Jesus would do- clare against the payment of tri- - bute, and so lay himself open to the merciless vengeance of Rome. 18. Why make ye trial of me 2â€"â€" He knew that in the wickedness of their. hearts they were simply. putting him to a test. 19. Show me the tribute moneyâ€"â€" Mark says he bade them “bring” the piece of money. This agrees 'with the statement, they brought unto him a denarius (a coin bearâ€" ing the emperor’s head and superâ€" scription). It i: unlikely that they would have on their person this hated reminder of the Roman- au- thority. ~ 21. Render unto Caesar .â€"7 They were not merely to yield thisl'money to the imperial power _as'__a_ gift, as their question indicatedl'_('17),‘=but they were to pay fitéas’va'debt. It was more than a lawful provision, it was a moral obligation. “This coin represented Roman organiza- tion, Security of person and=pro-. perty, facilities of transit, and other 'beneficcnt elements of stable government.” They accepted all these privileges, and they should do their part toward keeping them, up. In fact, the money could not really belong to them, but was Caesar’s°as long as Caesar held sway. If that was true of their temporal relations, how much more applicable was it to their re- sponsibility to God, upon -whom they were dependent for all things and from whom they were with- holding about everything. In these words Jesus teaches that the sphere of the state are distinct. 34. He had put the Sadducees to silenceâ€"By exposing their ignorâ€" ance of the Scriptures, and their indifference to the power of God as indicated by their foolish ques- tion concerning the resurrection. 35.

In giving $1,075,000 for the foundation and endowment of me- dical research fellowshipsMr. Ot- to Beit has followed the example of, several _ millionaires who ,have proved themselves public benefac- tors. The largest giftvto the medi- cal world on record was the $0,â€" 000,000 which was bequeathed to the Pasteur Institute by the late M. Osiris, under peculiar circumstanc- es. . ‘ M. Osiris, who was a rich Jew» found-ed in 1903 a triennial prize of $20,000 to be bestowed on “the perâ€" son who had rendered the great- est service to the human race dur- ing the three preceding years.” The prize was awarded to Dr. Roux, the head of the Pasteur Inâ€" stitute, for the discovery of the “anti-diphtheria serum.” M. Os- iris was much astonished to learn that Dr. Roux had made over the whole of the money to the institute of which he was the head“ The millionaire said nothing at the time but at his death it was found that he had'left the bulk of his wealth to the Pasteur Institute as a token of admiration for the scientific at- ' ‘ tainments and selfâ€"abengation of Dr. Roux. One of the most philanthropic of men is Sir Ernest Cassel, who amongst other acts of generosity, gave $200,000 for the investigation of eye diseases in Egypt and $1,- 000,000 to the Midhurst S-anatorium for Consumptives; while Lord Strathcona has given, roughly speaking, over $5,000,000 for hospiâ€" tal work, and his cousin, Lord Mount Stephen, has been equally generous. ' v Some time ago Mr. W. W. Astor gave $250,000 to the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children as a fund for the building of a 'new outâ€"patients’ department, to be do dicated to the memory of his little daughter, Gwendoline Astor, who had died. The late Mr. George Herring left $3,000,000 to the Hos pital Sunday Fund, while at the beginning of last year $50,000 was anonymously and unconditionally. placed at he disposal of the man; agers of the Royal Institution by a lady.

You ll ant Your Cheeks to be Rosy and Your Eyes Clear. ' A fresh complexion and a clear, smooth skin are promised by a writer in the Housekeeper to those who will persist in eating certain vegetables. “It is hard,” says this authority, “to select the most valuable from among tomatoes, carro‘ts, lettuce, onions and cucum- bers. . ' “Tomatoes, acting upon' both liv- er and kidneys, will clear the skin wonderfully. If the eyeballs have that annoying yellowish tings that comes from a sluggish liver a gen- erous breakfast dish of raw toma- toes with as little condiments as your palate permits will .soon re- store the clear white. This juicy vegetable applied directly to the skin readily removes stains and sunburn, and even freckles if not of long standing. I “Carrots, raw and cooked, are invaluable, for carrots make good red blood.

Po- tatoes are recommendedâ€"or con- demned, as the requirement may be ,â€"-as a fat producer.

Deep breathing will do wonders for a hollow chest and throat. “Olive oil taken internally has a tendency to fill out and smooth the skin. Sometimes there is a sort of scaly roughness on one’s skin that stubbornly resists all local applicaâ€" tions.

During the sum:- mer the mother must be especially. careful to keep baby’s stomach sweet and pure and his bowels mov- ing regularly. No other medicine will be of such great aid to mothers in summer as Baby’s Own Tablets. These little Tablets never fail to re- gulate the bowels; sweeten the sto- mach and make baby well and hap- py. Mrs. D. Devlin, St. Sylvester East, Que, says: “I think Baby’s Own Tablets are the best medicine for little ones for stomach and bowel troubles and I would not be without them.” The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or at 25H cents a box from The Dr. Williams’ Medicine 00., Brockville, Ont.

Into your breadpan put a cup of_ roll-ed oats. over it three cups boiling water, one-half cup molasses, one table- spoon lard, or butter, one table- spoon salt; let cool, when blood warm add one yeastcake Which has been dissolved in cold water: Add bread flour until firm and can be kneaded. Let rise over night,'make into two loaves, and bake one hour and twenty minutes. i ' ' . Quick Breadmaking. â€" Dissolve two cakes of compressed yeast in a little _luke\'arm water. Into a crock pour one pint of sweet milk and add one pint of freshlyboiled water, and one tablespoon of salt. Into this stir enough flour'to make a soft batter and if it is cool enough to admit of holding the finger in it, add the dissolved yeast, beat well, and continue to add more flour 'till it is pretty stiff. turn it out on to a floured board and knead till smooth, adding nec- essary flour gradually, Put into a bread bowl that has been greased and set in a warm place to rise. When it has doubled its original size it is ready to mold into loaves and rise again before baking. Bake one hour. . ‘ Brown Breadâ€"Two ' cupfuls gra- ham flour, one cupful wheat flour, one-quarter cupful sugar (brown or whit-e), one-half one small teaspoonful salt, two cup- fulsbuttermilk, one‘ level teaspoon- ful soda dissolved in-a little boiling water. Put into greased covered quart lard pails and bake in a moderate oven for two hours. By putting ingredients together as given this brown bread never fails and is so easily made compared to the old way of steaming first and then baking. . Scotch Shortbreadâ€"One pound of flour, one-half pound of butter, one-fourth pound moist brown su- gar, Sift flour into mixing bowl, roll sugar free from lumps, rub suâ€" Igar and butter thrc ugh flour, turn out on board and knead like bread till it sticks together in one lump; roll three-fourths of an inch thick; mark in' small diamond shaped squares cut with a knife; put on baking tin and bake about twenty minutes in a moderate oven. Bread Hintâ€"(To be made up in the evening and to raise over night). Take three quarts of flour, sift into a large pan or bowl and make a. good sized cavity in the center of the flour, crumble one cake of‘com- pressed yeast, then add one-half teacupful of sugar, one small table~ spoonful of salt, one good table- spoonful of lard; then pour in two and one-half pints of lukewarm water; mix well until moderately stiff and smooth; then put into a greased vessel that is as near air- tight as possible, let raise over night in a warm place so as not to chill; in the morning make into loaves about one and one-quarter pounds each; lot raise until loaves are as high as pans, then bake in a moderately hot oven. Never Fall Breadâ€"At noon soak one yeast cake in half glass warm water. Hash fine two potatoes and about‘ one quart potato water, and stir in while boiling hot one cup flour.

Oatmeal Cookies Help.â€"Almost every one is fond of oatmeal cookâ€" ies, but there is one thing disliked by many, that is the un zooked taste, that the oatmeal has if not ground. I have learned by cxperience that by using the coarsest knife on your food chopper and grinding the oat- meal through it improves the cook~ ies very much. This dies not pul verize the oatmeal, but makes the grains finer and distributes the fia- vor more evenly, and they never have that uncooked taste. BCAOW is my favorite recipe: One. cupi shortening, half lard and half but-l tor; one large cupful C". sugar creamed with butter, two eggs well v milk, one scant teaspoonful sod-a. dissolved in milk, one teaspoonful cinnamon, half teaspoonful nutmeg” pinch of salt; one-half cupful chopâ€".5 ped nut meats; one cupful choppedl raisins, one small teaspoonful bakâ€"‘L ing powder sifted with two cups: flour. Add one cup ground oatmeal last. I bake these in muffin tins, but can be baked as drop cookies: if preferred. M. W. D. 3 Hot Water Cakeâ€"Four eggs i separate them, beat yolks light, gradually stirring in two cupfuls of granulated sugar. Beat well to; gether, add one cupful of boiling water, two cupfuls of flour, one teaâ€" spoonful of baking powder. Beat whites to a froth and flavor. This makes a‘good, large, three layer cake. Bake slowly. Orange Cakeâ€"One cup sugar, three tablespoonfuls butter, two eggs, half cup orange juice, grated rind of one orange, one and one- half cups flour, one and oneâ€"half teaspoonfuls baking powder. Cream butter, add sugar, beat; add eggs unbeaten; beat thoroughly; add orange juice, then the flour sifted' with the baking powder. Bake in gem pans and roll in powdered su-t gar while warm. " Kisses.-â€"â€"The secret of good kisses lies in the beating. Beat the whites of two eggs to a stiff froth, then add two cupfuls of granulated su- - gar and one teaspoonful of vineâ€"‘ gar. Beat well for twenty niinutes.f Turn your baking pan upside down. and cover with oiled paper. Drop’ the mixture in teaspoonfuls on the pan. In baking they swell quite a' bit. Do not turn the light on the oven until they are in. Then bake slowly twentyâ€"five minutes. This: quantity makes two dozen. ' USEFUL HINTS.
