Cream of to­ mato soup is no harder to make than a piece of toast if you , know how. Don’t „add soda. It’s almost impos­ sible to add it in small enough am­ ount to small quantities of soup not to ruin the flavor entirely. The following rule is. carefully worked but and produces a delicious­ ly. smooth cream soup. The method is quite as imp-brtant as the propor­ tions. Cream Of Tomato Soup . Two cups canned tomatoes, 1 small onion, 2 teaspoons sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, celery tops, 3 tablespoons but­ ter, 2 tablespoons flour, 2 cups milk, J4 teaspoon pepper, ,1 . tablespoon minced parsley, 8 peppercorns.

Take the sauce from the- fire and add the sifted tomato pulp Tyhich has been kept hot while the thin white sauce, was being made.

" USES FOR STALE BREAD Stale bread and rolls may se.rve-.in delicious guise not only in the fam­ iliar bread puddings, but as Accom­ paniment for cream, soups. Melba chips, croutons; and toast sticks ate easily prepared, and are crisply de­ licious . ■ The Melba chips are made from stale, rolls sliced crosswise in very thin slices. These are placed in a shallow pan in a slow, oven to dry out and brown.' The smaller the rolls the more attractive "the chipfe.. The slices before, drying should not be more t;han an eighth of an inch in thick­ ness, and with a sharp knife, this may be lessened to paper thinness* • Croutons are made from stale bread. The bread must be firm of texture and fine, stale .but not too dry. The bread is sliced, about half an inch in thickness, ’ and these are cut into half-inch cubes with a very sharp knife. The crusts, of course, are removed. ' '■•- , . iThe cubes may be dipped in melt-, ed butter and. browned in a mo-derath oven, or they , may be dropped intq’a fingersers, on the other hand,, are never time, or whether the fish, of their own accord! had. come to that place at that particular time,, and only the Lord knew it, we .are ndg^yoi-med and we need not speculate. “And they beckoned unto their partners in the other boat, that they* should come and help them.” Only Simon had been told to put liuo the deep in his own. boat. It is one of the inimitable touches of tru.thfub ness in the narrative that the in­ stinct, of work prevail^ at first over the sense that a miraculous power had been exerted. “And they came, and filled, both the boats, so that • they began to sink,” A lesson' in the need, of co-operation. . “But Sitnon Peter, when ne saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees,-saying, Depart from me; for I am. a sinful man, O Lord.” - This." is the only place in (his Gospel in' which Luke gives Peter both his nanies, “For he Was amazed, and .all that were with him, at the draught of the .fishes, whkhj.lhey.l.had ...taken.” “And so were also. James and John,, sons of Zebede'e, who were partners with Simon.” Amazement was the characteristic reaction of men who witnessed the miracles and heard the teaching, of the Lord Jesus J’throughout, ’ the -''Gospe'ls, and ' of great multitudes who Heard tne a- ■ postles preach, and beheld thehr mir­ acles in the book of, Acts. “Abd Jesus said Unto Simon, Fear not; fr„bm henceforth thou .shalt- catch nien.” Instead cif departing from/ Simon Peter, as TJeter had request-' ' edf him, the Lord drew nearer to him,* and assured him that he, would not • depart from him, rather, he would strengthen him, and makg, him to be what he longed to be. “And when they had' brought( their boats to land, they left -all,--and; followed him.” It is better to come in old age than to die Chfistless, but it" is best to co'fffie~wheh all the ■ nets are full, when life is goJden,, , and the heart is ybung- “And after these things he went, - forth, and beheld a publican, named Levi, sitting a| the place of toll, and n said unto him, Follow me.” There , is hardly any question that~the man. here designated as ,Levi, as to be “identified—with-^the- -one—elsewhere-;/ called 'Matthew, the author of the first Gospel being here a despised I publican,. e ■ ' ' i . /And he forsook all and rose up and"1 followed him,” (Of. verse 11).

Luke is the- only one of the Gospel writer* who Characterizes the subject of phrist’s preaching as the word of God (8:11, 21; 11:28)., “That.-he Was standing by the lake .of Genne- saret.” This is the only place in the New Testament where the Sea of Galilee, also called the Sea of Tiber­ ias, is referred to as the lake of Gennesaret. The name is perhaps a corruption of the old Hebrew word Kinnereth, which means a harp, and, if one will look at an'outline of the lake on a large map, one .will easily s'ee the. appropriateness of such a name. • “And he saw two boats'standinc by the lake: but .the fishermen had gone out of. them, and‘were washing their nets.’* The washing " of the nets wa? preparatory to hanging them . up dry. “And he entered into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked linn to put out a n.tie iiu'm i-aiiu/’- It is-'significant that the, record does] not state that the .Lord asked for the bpat. :“And.’ Ke sat down and taught the multitudes out of ..the boat.” He was truly the very Word' of God, a teacher sent from God, and he seized every opportunity ifl fuL1' filling the divine commission which had been given tO"'him.' • “And" when he had left' speaking, <the „said uhtcTSimon, Put'out into the' deep, and let down your nets for a draught.” We [.hesitate .to .
