The great plea for the Church is therefore a social one. You should support the Church, not be- cause you believe all she teaches, not because her methods are adequate, not because her members are perfect, not even because you always feel that you need it for your own personal develop- ment, but because it is the one social expression of man's faith in righteous- ness. Made in the Image of God The laborer expresses himself as such in the union, the merchant in his board of trade, etc. We give corpor- ate expression to our athletic artistic and social functions. But we are im- mortal souls as well, and the Church, and the Church alone, proclaims this to the world. And, after all, are we so sure that any of us can get on without the Church? It is easy to believe that we can when the Church is always ' near at hand. But none of as can keep at concert pitch without an oc- casional "tuning up."

When cooked, lift the tin very care- fully on to the table, let it remain there for three minutes, then turn the cake on to bhe sieve and leave till quite cold. Avoid a draught or rough handling, for both these are fatal to the best made and cooked cake. Caraway Cake. -One-half pound of flour, one tablespoonful of ground caraway seeds, milk, three ounces of dripping, one egg, two ounces of cit- ron peel, two ounces of brown sugar, a pinch of salt, one teaspoonful bak- ing aking powder. Sift the flour and salt, rub in the dripping, mix in the ground caraway seeds, candied peel and sug- ar. Make into a paste, as already described, using first part of the egg, then egg and milk, and if necessary, a little plain milk at the last. Bake according to previous instructions. An Eggless Cake. -Three quarters of a pound of flour, four ounces of currants, four ounces of sultanas, one- half teaspoonful of cream of tarbar, four to five ounces of dripping, four ounces of sugar, one large teaspoon- ful of bicarbonate of soda, a teacupful of milk. Sift the flour and rub in the dripping. Sprinkle in the soda and tartaric acid, add sultanas, currants and sugar and mix all together. Heat - the milk, and when nearly boiling, stir quickly into the dry ingredients. Turn into the baking -tin and put into the oven immediately. Bake for about one hour and a half. Gingerbread. -Two ounces of drip- ping, two ounces of brown sugar, six ounces of molasses, eight ounces of flour, one-quarter ounce of powdered ginger, one-half teaspoonful of bi- carbonate of soda and one-half cup of warm milk. Rub the dripping into the flour, add the sugar and ginger. Stir in the molasses and the soda dis- solved in the warm milk. Pour into a tin and bake slowly for one hour and a half. You can add to this recipe a few blanched chopped almonds, can- died peel, or glace ginger cut inbo small pieces. - Sultana Cake. - Three-quarters pound of flour, two ounces of margar- ine, two ounces of dripping, four ounces of sugar, six ounces of sul- tanas, one and one-half gills of milk one Ievel teaspoonful of carbonate of soda, grated tind of one-half lemon and a pinch of salt.

Useful Hints. Heat the earth that you are going to put into pots or window boxes and all insects will be destroyed. Always remove mildew as quickly as possible. The longer it remains the more difficult it will be. Linens should always be soaked a long time before washing; the stains will come oub more thoroughly. Salmon sandwiches are delicious. Flake the fish and add a little cream and a dash of French mustard. Cheese is the most concentrated of foods, but being difficult to digest, it should be taken in small quantities. A little salt added to the bluing water in which white clothes are rinsed, will prevent the bluing from settling in spots. Add a teaspoonful of cornstarc,i to each cup of sugar, when making chocolate fudge, and it will surely be smooth.

The life of a gun depends upon the progress of erosion, which sooner or later is certain to impair the ac- curacy of fire. Erosion is caused by the action of the explosive gases at ' high temperature and pressure. As- cording to the Iron Age, the hot ' gases cause a thin film of steel to absorb heat. The film expands and becomes set. Upon the release of ' the pressure it contracts, which 'causes minute cracks that grow 'larger with every discharge. As they increase in size they form passage- ; ways for more hot gas, and that tends to enlarge them still further. The inner surface thus becomes !roughened and the bands begin •to corrode. Finally, the bore becomes so enlarged that it allows the gases to escape. The shell does not then acquire its proper rotation and its flight becomes erratic. All guns ex- cept small ones are now constructed with linings in the tube, which, when the bore is worn out, - are removed and replaced by new ones. The cost of relining a gun is approximately 30 per -cent. of the cost of the gun. There appears to be no limit to the number of times that a gun can be relined. The small arms used in the United States are considered . to he worn out after 5,000 to '7,500 rounds have been fired. Small naval guns can be fired about 1,000 times before they are regarded as worn out. Large 12 -inch and 14 -inch naval guns are considered to have a life, on one lin- ing, of from 160 to 200 rounds. Low- velocity guns, such as howitzers and mortars, have correspondingly longer lives than high velocity guns 'of the same calibre, because the pressures they develop, and hence the tempera. tures, are lower. ' A miner cannot hope to succeed. un. less he . gets down to business.
