Golden Text "Through this man Is preached unto you tho forgiveness of sins." Ae. Jtlll:l8. No one should ever speak conlcmplu oinly of tho Jews as a nation. They aro a pcoplo whom God has honored through tho passing centuries. It wns tho purpose of God that tho Jews, being fitted by n Unowlcdgo of tho Scriptures nnd by religious training, should give the message of salvation to the world. Paul and Barnabas preached Hi st to tho Jews, not because of a national pride, being Jews themselves, nor because it was a special privilege to preach to their own people, but they were canning out the purposes of God. But the door of tho Jowlsh heart was closed to the truth, and tho Master and His messago of salvation were rcjoctod. Then said the disciples, "Lo, wo turn to tho Gentiles," and "My word shall not leturn unto me void," salth tho Loid. Paul preached flrst to the Jews, say ing, "To vou is the word of this salva tion tent." He argued from prophecy and from history that God had delivered and blessed His covenanted people; that Ho had promised to them and through them the Messiah; that Jesus Christ was the promised Messiah, and because they knew Him not they hnd rejected Him and put tho Son of God to death, even the death of tho cross, and that God had lalsed Him fiom the dead. "Ho came to His own and His own received Him not." Paul's gceat argument for salvation is based upon tho crucifixion and resur icction of Jesus Christ, and ho picsents tho Rospel of Jesus to the "Whosoever Will" accept It; to the Jews first, and through them to tho world. No puio and unselllsh love Is ever lost. Gi eater love hath no man known than the love of God for this poor lost world, which love found expression In the re demption by Jesus Clulst. Such love could not be in vain. Those who could not appreciate, but despised and rejected it, "Judged them unworthy," and were filled with hatred for the Messenger and the message, while thoso who gladly welcomed and received the truth wcie filled with holy Joy. The unwillingness to receive Jesus Christ ns tho Messiah and "Tho Light of tho World," makes all who reject Him unworthy of the lovo of God (Jno.ill:l), nnd unworthy of eternal llfo through His name. Tho licrht of God's precious truth shines for all who will icceivo It. Do not close they heart ngninst the truth, and so leject the Saviour and His love.

COMPOTES. The valuo of the compoto ass a deli cate and delicious form of dessert, has long been recognized abroad, but has but recently found extended favoi here. It is generally served with boiled rice, toast rounds or stalo sponge cake, and is easily prepared, appetizing and dainty. Tho biend used In compotes should bo thoroughly dilcd beforo browning. Many fruits can bo used In combina tion. Bannanas and oranges go well together, always using a little lemon with bananas, and having them slight ly under lipe reaches and plums go well together, also apricots and plums, straw bellies und currants, quince and sweet apples, barbertlcs and sweet or sour apples, pears and barberries, etc. The foundation for all compotes Is about the same sugar and water In tho proportion of one cup of sugar to one-half or one cup of water, depend ing upon juiciness of the fruit to bo used. Put the sugar and water with whatever flavor is used, into .c clean sRUCc-pan and cook until bjrui. When boiling diop tho fruit in .1 few pieces at a tlmo, so that It will not be crushed nnd "musay."
