The only exception I made is in omitting tomatoes, -- 1 leave them to combine with : other things some other time. The main feature is potatoes: the crumbs, (cracker crumbs are prefer- red, but bread crumbs w!ll answer, and, if necessary, flour may be sub- stituted,) will be required to sprinkle between layers, salt, pepper, bits of butte; "too, will be required between layers, while slices of meat may be placed over the top to reheat with the rest, though, if preferred, neat slices of cold meat may accompany this dish. - To prepare the "Eureka Scallop," butter a baking dish, sprinkle the bot- tom with crumbs, place a layer of potatoes, then crumbs and seasonings and next a layer of sliced carrots, and tatoes again, erumbs and seasoning; next say cooked cabbage, and so on until the baking dish is nearly full -- parsnips, diced turnip, beans, peas, just whatever the family will relish. Instead of cooked onions, we seem to like bits of raw onion clipped amongst the cooked vegetables; usually I have the potatoes at the top, then add the slices of meat arranged neatly, and fill the dish almost full of milk -- to hasten the process of cooking, hot milk may be utilized; another way to hasten the preparation is to place the digh in a steamer over hot water till well heated through, then finish by baking. This is frequently our Sunday dish, and is never placed in the oven at all but left in the steamer {o re- tain its heat until our return from schurch, -- Mrs. Louise Towriss, of Athens, Ontario. SPANISH RICE -- 1-3 cup of rice, boil in salted water till dry. Heat one more crumbs and seasoning; then po-{- soup in casserole dish and have one pound of sausage partly cooked. Place sausage on top of rice and soup, and press them in a little. Bake in oven about 14 an hour or till sausage is cooked, "We have this dish quite oftep- and it-1s very nice. -- Miss G.

Place--The events of this chapter took place in Pearaca with the single exception of the concluding miracle, the healing of the blind man (vs. 35- 43) which occurred ncar Jericho. "An he spake a parable unto them to the end that they ought always to pray, and not to faint." Of course Christ does not mean to 'say that men must always be audibly praying to God, but that our lives ought to be continually abiding in God, and that, on every occasion, for every -probleny, for every, ngéd, before every undertaking, instantly after con- sciousness of any sin, our souls ought to go out to God in confession, ad- oration, intercession, thanksgiving, or petition. i "Saying, There was in a city a judge, who feared not God, and re- garded not man." A practical atheist who does not scruple to confess him- self to be what he is; -a man living in defiance of both tables of the de- calogue, placed in a pdsition of power to play the tyrant and availing him- self of that position to the full. "And there was a widow in that city." The word widow in the East was a synonym for helplessness. "And_she came oft unto him, say- ing, Avenge me of mine adversary." Apparently some one was attempting to persecute her and to rob her of what possessions she had. "And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within him- self, Though I fear not God, nor re- gard man; yet because this widow troubleth me, T will avenge her, least she wear me out by her continual coming." The judge was afraid that the widow would, in a modern phrase, get on his nerves. . "And the Lord said, Hear what the unrighteous judge saith." = The in- sertion indicates a pause during which the audience © considers the parable, after which Jesus makes a comment and draws the moral of the narrative. "And shall not God avenge his elect, that ery to him day and night, and yet ho is longsuffering over them?" If an unjust judge would yield to the importunity of an. un- / known widow who came and spoke to him at intervals, how much more will & just God be ready to reward the perseverance of his own elect, who cry to him day and night? "I say unto you, that he will avenge them speedily." Speedily here prob- ably means suddenly. So taken, the expression conveys a truth which we find elsewhere taught in Scripture, viz: that, however long the, critical action of divine providence is delay- ed, it always comes suddenly 'at last. "Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall be find faith on the earth?" It is more accurate to trans- late faith as the margin has it, the faith. This was hardly a question which Jesus asked others, for others could not answer it, but rather an ejaculation, something which he uttered to himself. Occurring where Fit occurs. it is like a sigh. "And he spake also this parable unto certain who trusted in them- 'selves that they 'were righteous, and set all others at nought." The ones to whom Christ is now speaking were self-righteous men who, super- ficially, were probably attempting to pose as his followers. "Two men went up into the teniple to: pray." On praying in the temple, sce Acts 2 1 46; 5 1 12) 42; Luke 21 : 53. "The one a Phavisee." The Phar- isces were noted for their rigid ad- herence to the law, for their aloof- ness and their self-righteousness. Un- doubtedly, this man was, as far as the world could judge, a very moral person, indeed, quite a religious per- son..*And the other a publican." For the aneaning of a publican, see the lesson dealing with Luke b : 27. "The Pharisce stood and praved taus with himseif." There is nothing particularly wrong with this manner of prayings as some would seem to state; to pray with himself was sim- ply to pray in his mind without ex- pressing his thoughts audibly. "God, I thank thee, that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulters, or even as this publican." Actually, this is not prayer at all. It is an utterance of thanksgiving, but he is not thanking God for something that God has done, but is actually congratulating himself for what he himself is. "I fast twice in the week; T give tithes of all that I get." His deseript- jon of his facts and tithe-giving is doubtless quite correct. The man says absolutely nothing about his own sins. You can put it down that 30 when a man does not confess sin to God, he has sins which he Is afraid to speak to God about. "But the publican, standing afar off." He probably stood far off from men whom he knew to be more righteous. than himself in a sense of true unworthiness. "Would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven." (See Psalm 40 : 12; Ezra 9 : 6.) "But smote his breast." An emblem of the stroke of death which the sin- ner feels that he has merited at the hand of God. "Saying, God, be tliou merciful to me a sinner." The Phari- see thought of others as sinners. The publican thinks of himself alone as the sinner, not of others at all.-- A. T. Robertson. "I say unto you, This man went down to his house justified rather than the other." It was not so much thought himself to be "justified, as that actually in God's sight he had that the man, in his own heart, been justified. Here is a clear il- lustration of that great word justi- fication, so continually used by the apostle Paul in the years. that fol- lowed (Rom.-2-: 135-3 : 4, 24, 28, 30; 5:1,9; Gal. 2 : 16; 3 : 11). "Lor every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled." The humbling of the self-satisfied will consist in the dis- covery of self in the light of God's requirements. When a man comes to. see what God meant him to be, and puts by the side of it the things thut have satisfied him, he comes to the most terrible humbling. "But he that humbleth himself shall be ex- alted." The man who humbles him- self in this life by placing himself under the atoning blood of the: Lord Jesus, utterly devoid of all self- righteousness, knowing himself to be a sinner and nothing else, is the one whom God exalts into the far heavenly places sitting ogether with Christ Jesus (Eph. 1 : 3; 2 : 6). In Praise of Spinach There's something 1 would like to say, Or write down in a book; Tht these who doa't think spinach fine. Just don't know how to conk. There isn't any reason why The spinach should be sandy; Ise lots of water, hot and eold-- And water's cheap and handy. Five minutes is quite long enough- To steam it -- maybe less; But if you boil the spinach long "Twill turn cut just "a mess." Now chop it fine as fine can be And season well and then, Trim up the dish with bacon strips, That tithit from "the pen." Take hard-boiled them well; They make the dish look snappy; Add cream sauce, if you like it, and -- ergs and grate Fat spinach and be happy. a FU MANCHU Mr. Eltham, Denby and from the libra whence came AG Se mii gsm ere ist id 31 By Bax Rohmer and The Bell Syndicate, hae. tham's ery, "It's Grebal'--~Na Smith, pd A dnhed peor and inte the drawing reom slariling eall , .

A woman who cannot find time for them is rare. One who refuses to do so obviously cares little about her health and good looks. Before you try any fancy reme- dies for spring fever or let anyone persuade you that you simply must take a cruise you can't afford, map out a health routine and stick vo it for three weeks. If, at the end of that period, you feel and look not a bit better, not only should you start wonderings what is wrong, you had better see a doctor and find out. First of ull, rearrange your daily schedule to allow for eight hours sleep. If..you have to get up at eight, go to bed at eleven-thirty and resolve to be asleep by twelve. This may be a bore and seem like a hardship, but do it anyway, at least during the three weeks health test period. Although it means cutting short your lunch hour, walk briskly for fifteen minutes a day. Breathe deeply as you stride .along. Iniproper-- breathing, by the way, is another fault{ a good many of us have. We sit with shoulders hunched forward, crowding™~our lungs and taking lazy, shallow breathes stead of healthy, energy-giving, deep ones. See that some of the routines in your morning's daily dozen include breathing exercises.
