Beef, veal, lamb, autton, pork, ham, fresh and salted fist bring infinite variety to the one- { time plebian dish. - - Dumplings add distinction to all stews, but particularly to one made of veal, Lamb stew gains much from canned peas, A savoury combination of onions, canned tomatoes and macar- onl makes a dish made from remnants of cold roasts pleasantly appetizing. Carrots provide color when other means of garnishing are not at hand. A few mushrooms give the final touch that makes 'a real feast out of plain fare. Remember that dried mushrooms may be Substituted when fresh ones are not at hand. - : 3 Veal Stew 3 medium sized potatoes, 1 cup small wholé mushrooms, 34 cup shredded sweet green pepper, 2 ounces, 2 tea: spoons salt;-3 teaspoon pepper; 4 cups boiling water, flour. .

Cround peanuts Lesson V.--February 4--Puttin 's Kingdom rat ation rie) Bolden Text -- Beck ye first his Kkingdc , and his righteousn "and all these things shall be added unto you.~--Matt, 6.33, TIME--Midsummer of A.D, 28, the secon year of Christ's ministry. ACE--The Horns of Hattin hill west of the Sea of Galilee, : A PARALLEL PASSAGE -- The "Sermon on the Plain," Luke 6: 20-49, "Lay not up for yourselves treas. ures upon the earth." Let it not be thought for a moment that Christ ini- culcates any lack of prudence in con- nection wit i ely things, or any disregard of material duties, His strong protest is against the undue secularizing of life, "Where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal." Literally "dig through," for Palestinian house, made usually of stone, have no outer windows, and thieves must made holes in the walls if they would enter, "But lay up for yourselves treas- ures in heaven." If you wish to ex- press some of your money from earth .| to heaven, give it to those who need. '| And if you have no money .to give, you can give friendship and loving sympathy and wise praise and tender admonition and inspiring counsels and sweet comfort. "Where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal," We should exchang- earthly for heavenly clirrency, "For where thy treasure is, there will thy heart be also." If the heart be with the treasure, what happens to the treasure happens to the rti "The lamp of the bod is the eye," The eye is: the al facult: through which the light of God's trut is recognized and admitted into the coul, "If therefore thine eye be single." Sound seeing Objects singly, and clear- ly, a d dinstinctly, instead of multiply- ing them, as in certain unsound states, confusedly and indeterminately, "Thy hole bly shall be full of light." The soul's eye must be single and the singloress of motive and desire must spring from thé superhuman energy that comes to use from the spirit- given love of vesus Christ. "But if thine eye be evil (that is diseased), thy whole body shall be full of darkness," "All about us are sights and visions of eternal truths and beau- ties which-w& have not seen, We have not, by prayer and Bible study and meditation and Christian service culti- vated the spiritual capacity. "If there: fore the light that is in thee be dark- ness, how 'great is the darkness!" The whole passage is a warning against the danger of worldliness, against the -| blinding, bewildering effect of wealth and comfort. © "No man can serve two niasters."' As 'salt must retain its integrity if it is tx be useful, and the eye its purity to be a fruitful guide, so sin- cerity of heart is necessary to unity in purpose and action. "For either he will 'hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one and despise the other." And all the while he will very likely be fooling himself into the belief that he can love both and that he is serving both impartially; "Ye cannot serve God and "mammoa' Mammon may be derived from a Phoenician word for "gain" and so be equivalent to Pluto, the Latin: god of wealth; or it may be derived from a Hebrew word meahing "trusted." Our English equivalent would be "worldi- ness." te "Therefore I sty unto yeu, Be not anxious for your life," The remainder of the chapter is an expansion of the thought already introducea in versea 19-24; that we are to live for God and not for the world, trusting the heaven: ly riches and not mammon "What ye shall eat, or what ye sha.l drink; nor yet for your-body, wha. ye shall put on." These are the fundamenta' nec- essities of haan life, -and if anxiety for them is forbidden, surely anxiety for more than these is forbidden. ~ "Is not the life*more than the food, and the body than the raiment?" ? "Behold the birds of the heaven." | Palestine is a land of many birds, and vory likely Christ. pointed to a flock of them as he spoke. "That they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into' barns; and your heavenly Father foedeth them." The birds obey the God which is in them in the form of instinct, and so they reach the limit of their possibilities; and théy are fed and they are clothed as no great King of Oriental days or modern days was ever fed or garbed. "Are not ye of When you boll a fowl add a pinch finuch more vale than they?" It is said that Martin Luther was once wandering in the fields alqne with his sorrow, when a bird perched: singing on a spray, and to the wanderer's ears aro often used py professional cooks, and few people know the difference. i -- hé see to sing, "Mortals, cease from toil and sorrow, oss of «It can- 1] out not change things, except for the "And why are ye anxious concern- ing raiment? Congider the lilies of the field, y grow." Palestine it a'land of flowers: Some think the flower to which Christ referred to was the Scarlet Turk's Cap; it was the red auemorne, not, neither do they spin," HK was because God was love to Jesus Christ, that when he went abroad into the world of nature, he saw God and his kingdom in the birds, and in the thou- 8 lilies of field, . "Yet I say unto you, that even Solo- mon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." We Jught to be able to rejoice in those parts of the creation wheh were desgned especially to give us delight. > ; "But if God doth so clothes the grass of the field" Including, of course, the many flowers growing amid the grass. "Which to-day is, and to- norrow is cast-into the oven," Fire- wood is so scarce in Palestine that even in our day the people heat their ovens for baking bread with dry grass from the fields. "Shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?" If the lilies of the field are so beauti. ful, what will be the beauty of the white garments of the saints! "Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothea?" All the worry that ever got itself accomplished in this weary, 'worrying wotld; all 'the sleepless nights, all-the burdened days, all the joyless, mirthless, peace-destroying, health-destroying, happiness-destroy- ing, love-destroying hours that men 'and. women have ever in all earth's centuries given to worry, never wrought one good thing. "For- after all these things do the Gentiles seek." The heathen may be pardoned for their anxious lives, for they have: not the knowledge of a loving heavenly Father; but we, whom this knowledge has been given, are without excuse if we worry. "For our heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things." Food, drink, -clothing, shelter, these are os- gential to God's creatures. They should never fret about things essential, be- cause God knows they have need of these things. "But ah ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness." Jesus teaches that the kingdom of God is so beautiful and worth 80 much to a man, that if he really catches sight of it, he will be ready to give up everything else for it. "And all these things pol be added unto you." 'Here is the plus principl2 in daily living.

We lay down a long order for our children. They must be obedient, truthful, neat, clean, studious, quiet, gentle, polite, generous energetic, help- ful, kiud, brave and patient, ; This 1s a decalogue plus. Can we and do we always live up to it our- selyes? No. And with our years of experience and control we are In het- ter condition to do so, or at least we should be, than they are, Mistakes Are Inevitable Childhood is happy-go-lucky and ir- responsible, It is the time for learn: ing everything including the virtues. A student of anything whether it be painting, wood-finishing, golf, or life, has to begin at scratch and make mls- takes as he goes. ! In no other craft do we expect per- fection, but ye do expect It of children learning the lessons of character day. by day. It is all right to have a standard and to work toward it. This is what all standards are for, but it in the striv- ing mistakes are made it is not quite fair or wise for the mentor to criticize too sharply, It is very discouraging. True, a few stout souls work beter under the gnout, but most people and most children are sensitive and fail. Once self-confidence .is lost, all is lost. But more bitter still in the heart of a child is the feeling that others are disappointed in him, 3 Not only that, but another sting lies in this--he may be averaging 80 per cent, in all the "good" things we have decided he must be. But usually he gets little credit for it. Tha things he seems_to be judged hy are the other fifth that he fails in, It he is scolded or-punished or ridic culed for this 20 per cent. in his bitter- ness and humiliation, he may declde that the rest does not matter. He's told that he is no good. He helieves it and stops trying. Develops Inferlority Complex The worst of almost any system of unfair discipline and punishment Is that the child belleves .he i; worse than he is. Not all children, for a few do survive, and either by fear or sheer wil] power, turn the reprimand to ac- count. But the opposite is too often the case, os We must be trainers, of course. All parents find themselves in this posi- tion whether they like it or not, and training takes firmness as well ag kind- ness. But it also takes tact and judg- ment of infinite depth and soundness, It we notice that our boy or girl is dis- couraged we might do well to ask our- selves if wo are not expecting too much. And give lim the credit he deserves. : ' Sometimes I wonder, if weighed by. the same scales, how many parents would find themselves on the high end. Often fathers or mothers have a long way to go before attaining anything like the standard- they set for their own children. : oe Christmas Tree Trade It has been officially egtimated that there have -been 500 carloads of Christmas trees shipped from the for- ests of Ontario, Quebec, New Bruus-{: wick and Nova Scotia to cities in Can. ada and the United States 'for the Christmas season.
