.A, friend once said to alighthouse
"'keeper. "Are you not afraid to live
;Imre? It is a dreadful place to " be
',continually in."
"No," replied the man, "I am not
afraid; We 'never •think of ourselves
here."
"Never think of yourselves! How
The reply was a good one: "We
know that we are perfectly safe and
only think of having our lamps
`brightly burning and keeping the
-reflectors clear, so that .those in
clanger may be saved".
Those are many people in the world
to -day, sick and well who think of aro
••on'e but themselves. Wemight ask
'ourselves. the question. What is at When we look at that remarkable
"the back of this terrible war? Our band of Salvationists we read baok
answer must be "failure to. think of in their history and we find that a
othersand the constant thinking of
ourselves". As' we realize that, one
would think that we would try to
have a different attitude towards
others but we seem to go on in the
same old way giving ourselves first
place in our thoughts and actions
and letting others take whatever
place is left.
A recent report in one of the pap-
ers -told of the gathering of Salva-
tion Army Officers and workers in
Mount Pleasant cemetery, Toronto.
They had congregated to hold their
annual service in memory of 167 of
their' fellow workers who went dawn
in the St. Lawrence River, May 29,
1914.
THE CLINTON NEWS-REGORT
CARE CF CHILDREN
Christmas -message sent out to thlem
one year by their dynamic leader'
General William Booth was "others".
Can we wonder that they do such a
remarkable work among the sick,
the', poor, the down -cast and the
criminals? Those workers go down
into the .slums where people' of de-
nominational -churches, never go;
they welcome` into their temples;
those who many of: us would slim- to
sit beside in our ehu c'iies, We know
that very well. Why is it? Did Christ
ever shun anyone. No, absolutely not.
Then why should we darerefuse to
do whet He would not think was
right. One big trouble with our
world is that we have refused to
-mingle with. God's people of any race
or clime.
While we shun others we fail to
realize that they are, in the -sight' of
God, just as good as we are and some
day we will have to account for our
actions towards them.
COOKING
People at times .say we are saved an advantage. In it you can cook a

thief on the cross; when he had no
time after his conversion for works
of any hind; shows that we are not
saved by our works, One would have
thought that our Saviour would have
had enough to think about on the
cross withput letting his thoughts
wander to others, but it was there
He made that remarkable statement,
"Father, forgive• --them, for they
know not :what;they do."
There was 'a time when parents
objected to their .children belonging
to the Bey Scouts and Girl Guides,
but thattime is. past. The objective
of these organizations is very high.
They are supposed to include in. the
part of each days :work, the helping
of some one else.
We do not need to belong to, any
organization to do good, for there
are not many moments pass in the
day when we cannot find something
to do which will be a help to others.
There are many thing's in life`
which we would rather not do, things
which we really have to make our-
selves do, but when night tames and
we look over the past hours we find
that those very things which we have
dreaded doing are qualities which
have made our character stronger.
Many' of us have not very much
to give in the way of money, bu£
money is not everything. We can re-
call times without number when we
have been more helped by a kind
word, a word of encouragement
than we 'have been .by money. Our
scholars are now graduating
from our schools, ` colleges, uni-
versities and hospitals. Most of
them are. • starting out with
praetically no money but the man or
Woman giving the graduating ad-
dress has spoken -.words of great en-
couragement. Di. McDonald, late
Editor of the Globe spoke to a grackle
ating class of nurses some years ago.
Although Dr. McDonald has passed
to the great Beyond many years ago
yet the encouragement of the words
of his, address on "Service" will, by
many, never be forgotten. We can
each of us --lake "Service" a lite
work—not service for ourselves but
for someone else.
Even little children can be taught
to do things for others. We have be-
fore quoted froma book of childhood
years"Hubert Lee or how a child may
do good." It tells of many things
which a little boy did to help others.
Years do not erase stories like that
and they teach lessons which will
never be forgotten. Parents, buy
books like that for your children.
Teaoh them that thereare
other people in the
world besides themselves. What 'a
difference there is between a child
who is selfish and one who has been
taught to think of others! If kindness
is impressed on a child's -mind it will
never be forgotten.
If we wish to we can forget our-
selves almost entirely, but it takes
an effort and much prayer to do so.
As we do that we will find that we
are working in co-opsretion with
Him who said "Bear ye one another's
burdens, and so felfidl the law of
Christ.
Let "ethers" be your motto
To -day and every day,
Assist Mme, dear Lord, always
To live the "Jesus" way.
The monument which has been
erected to those of the Salvation
Ae-my who went down :on the Em-
press of Ireland on that fateful day
shows wild waves rising high but
out from the eentre of them there is
a cross surmounted by a crown. One
could 'stand for hours and let their
thoughts • dwell on the meaning of
that wonderful symbol of the cross
rising from the `midst of earthly
tribulation. (It is placed beside the
path leading to the right as yqu ge
in the Yonge Street entrance of
Mount Pleasant Cemetery and is well
worth seeing and contemplating.
There is no way in which we can
keep the cross and the Brown before
ns except by ' thinking of others.
Even. His last moments on the cross
where He died for you and me, were
spent in leading one who had been
sunk in .sin to see the way of truth.

Use of Eavestroughing
The Wartime Prices and Trade
Board have prohibited the use of
metal eavestrougb or conductor pipe
except for repairs and maintenance,
according to an announcement of W.
Harold McPhillips, .prices and sup-
ply representative for Western
Ontario.
Manufacturers and dealers selling
these products are required to ob-
tain from the buyera written state-
ment that the goods will be used only
to repair and maintain existing in'
stallations.
The reason for this order, Mr, Mc-
Phillips explained, is because sit the
reduced supply of steel available for
civilian use.

baking fat, salt and pepper, 1 cup
water, 1 cup milk, 1 green pepper,
sliced, 2 cups carrots, diced, 1i. cup

THE QUESTION 130X
Mn A. B. asks: What are the
proportions of salt " and water to
use in pickling brine?
Answer: Brine for preliminary
salting should not be more than
36 cup of common salt to 1 quart
of cold tval i. Too much salt
shrivels the vegetables instead of
crisping them.
Mr, R. B. asks: Is it possible to
steam a dessert over the Dutch oven
stews?
Answer: Yes, if you have a
steamer to fit the kettle. If it does
not fit, the food may stop simmer-
ing on Iow heat and become soggy.
You • may took a ,custard, bread
pudding er steam pudding if you
make a small quantity in a covered
casserole and put on top of meat
bones.
