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.
The A, B, C, of the gospel tor mo and
thee is this:

DOMESTIC SCIENCE.
WI1II0 all of 111 housekeepers Iiavo
hours of 1 spilling (uttered or unex
pressed), when wo feel that tlto day's
burden Is too heavy on our shoulders,
our work Is never done; tho nprltig
sowing Is hardly finished bcfoic It Is
tlmo to begin tho falls the mending
basket hns not been emptied of ono
week's stockings before nuothcr sot of
vaulting heels nnd toes confront us;
tho hotisa Is not all cleaned before it
is tlmo to begin over ngalti; ns soon
as ono baby is out of at ms and wo aro
ready to take 11 long breath, another
comes; not ono of us would willingly
chango plnccs with our neighbor,
whoso cradlo Is empty, nnd who 'sits
with folded hands listening for tho
voices that shall nover again bo heard,
tho stops silenced for ae. Nothing,
nothing Is so dicadful as to Wh loft
alono with "nothing to entry. No
one to re illy mind whether you live or
die; no 0110 to whom you nro neces
sary; no ono to whom your coming
brings 11 smile, your absence means a
bit of hoaitacho for "mother."
So many of us aro apt to postponp
our good times until "tho children nro
grown"; until "we get tho house p.Ud
for"; until "wo can afford II," and wo
go on moiling and tolling nnd looking
ahead for the blessed sunshine, when
wo ought lo bo cherishing overy ruy
as It comes.
When the children aio grown, they
aro no longer our alone. Jane goes
there Is her own little home, and her
off with neighbor Smith's Jnck, and
own little Jlock coming on to look af
ter. Tom goes off Into tho gieat world
to "make his foitune," and making It,
ho stays. So, one by one, the links aro
broken, and "when the house Is paid
for" and wo "can nfford It," tho houso
may bo empty of all human Interest,
nnd wo may sit alone, with but tho
ghosts of the vanished past to bear us
company.
Let us, then, wisely lmpiovo tho
present whllo It Is ours; let us seize
nnd scatter tho sunshine as It comes;
let us bo of good cheer, though tho
burden of times piescs sore, for, after
all, Its weight comes heaviest when
thero Is no more to carry.
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." Cook until
tender, but still film enough to retain
Its shape. Remove tho fiult with .1

their good, ard their rejection of him was the
same as their own rejection from all the privi

that as they deemed them.-eleo unworthy they

A Much Tulked-of Improvement.
The stir the New Jeisey Central's re
cent announcement mudo in regard to
Its houily trains between New York
and Philadelphia was far reaching.
Very few titles can boast of such a
tialii schedule und tho beauty of It Is,
that it's cosily remembered a train
every hour on the oven hour from 7 a.
m. to tl p, m.
Tho locomotives, cats and Pullman
cats are tho most modem, tho roadbed
Is lock ballasted, and us only litud coal
Is used there Is no snioko or cinders.
Every train runs direct to neadlng
Teimlnal, Philadelphia, 'without change
'und many of them cover tho distance In
two hours, Tho Heading route by which
tho Philadelphia lino Is often known, Is
not only a shoit way to Philadelphia,
but It Is likewise the scenic route, This

In no vvuy does It Impair the fast and

The secret of cooking rlco so that It
looks like snow, with every kernel sep
arate and perfectly dry, lies In the
shuklng, says a Southern cook. Rlco
must bo thoroughly washed, to start
with, until all tho milky look is lost.
Rub It well between tho palms of tho
hands, tuin tho water off, wash nnd
rub again, then rlnso and drain. A
deep stewpan of porcelain or granite
Is best for cooking rice. For a cupful
of lice, pour four cups of water In tho
kettle and let It come to a boll, adding
a tcaspoonful of salt. When boiling
fast, add tho washed rice, stir gently
from tho bottom two or three times
with a fork, to prevent sticking. Iet
It boll from twenty minutes to half an
hour (It Is dono when you can cut tho
grain readily), remove from tho flic,
pour oft tho water, If any Is loft, and
put In a colander. Shake vigorously
until each grain Is plump, snow white,
and separate. Cover, with a cloth and
set on the back of the rango or In the
oven, when It will finish swelling with
out burning.
Did you ever try putting ordinary
prunes in the least bit of hot water,
leaving them in Just long enough 'to
swell not five minutes? Then take
them out, sprinkle with a llttlo bit of
sugar, and servo dry with meat. They
tasto like the French prunes tn Jars.
The Georgia method of cooking
yams is equally good with sweet pota
toes. Boll tho potatoos with the skins
on. Peel, slice lengthwise nnd put In
buttered baking dish. Sprinkle with a
small cup of brown sugar, add a gener
ous lump of butter nnd a llttlo hot
vater, and bako slowly about un hour,
having tho dish well browned on top.
By the way, brown sugai In Eng
land Is considered the only rcspcctrlhlo
sugar to servo with coffee. Cut loaf
sugar goes with tea, while our granu
lated Is found only in the cheaper eat
ing houses.
In the South, white pepper is planted
for early "greens." Only tho tender
fresh leaves aro used, cooking llko
spinach.
If you find your prepared cereals,
your pearled barlej, rice, flour, corn
meal or dried fruits suddenly Invested
with weevils, do not be discouraged.
If jou are where the sun Is good and
hot, you may follow tho example of
Arlzonians, who spread a clean cloth
down on the roof or grass and empty
the oatmeal or rice on to It. In a
short time every weevil will creep off.
If you have not the sun, place the
material Infested In the oven at a mod
erate degree of heat. Care must be
taken not to expose It to a higher tem
perature than 1D0 F.
If a whole pantry or store-room be
comes infested, wipe oft tho shelves
with kerosene, and then set shallow,
pans of bl-sulphide of caibon on them.
This vapor Is deadly to all animal life,
but thero is no danger In Inhaling a
small quantity. It Is posscd of a most
disagreeable odor, but soon passes
away, leaving no trace behind It
does not harm tho food near which It
is placed. As it Is extremely inflam
mable, care must be taken that It does
not come in contact with flame. If,
placed iu a cupboard at night, its
fumes will have disappeared by moin
lng. It costs at retail from 30 to 40
cents a pound, and ono application is
usually effectiv e. In verv severe cases,
a second may follow. When a barrel
of flour becomes infested, put a tca
cuptui of the chemical In a pan on tho
top of tho flour, cover tho barrel as
closely as possible and leave for a day
or two. Emma Paddock Telford.
