In the morning fcejdealt with the subject “The Value of Worship,” bas­ ing his remarks on 1 Chron, 22:5. The instinct for worship has befell a feature of men in all ages ahd a place for that purpose seemed always a ne­ cessity. This need was met success­ fully by the altar, the tabernacle, the temple, the local church.

Christ is the Head and Saviour of the church, He loves' it, He cleanses it. Hence the church should be subject to Him, love Him and serve Him. People should not worry about the church as the real church cannot fail. Just as we should not judge any work of art until it is completed, so we should not judge the church until the day of its com­ pleteness when He will “present it unto Himself a glorious church not having spot nor wrinkle nor any such thing.” ' i *,• OBITUARY Mrs. (Rev.)

CORNED-BEEF HASH 2 cups chopped corn beef { 2 cups cooked potatoes Vs cup milk or water 2 tablespoons butter or fat Salt and papper Mix beef and potatoes together lightly and season. Pour the milk in­ to a frying pan with half the fat and^ when this is warm, turn in the hashK spreading it evenly and placing the rest of the fat, cut in pieces, on the top. Cover the pan and place it where the hash will cook slowly for half an hour. There should then be a rich, thick crust on the bottom. Do not stir the hash. Fold it as an om­ elet is folded and place it on a warm platter. This slow process of heat­ ing the hash gives it a flavor than can not be obtained by hurried cooking.
