Now when perents have taken their
children to Sunday School what
training are they going to receive
there? In one of our recent. ,church
papers the story is told by one of
the leading church men of the pre-
sent day. Some years ago he and two•
other ministers: who later rose to
high position in Christian •service
had gone away for a holiday. That

night th ypk in a hays
before settling down to sleep, and pre-
vious to repeating the Lord's Prayer
in unison they each said a verse or
passage of Scripture which they had
learned in their very young days.
What a joy to recall the days when
we sat around our parents and later
in. Sunday School we memorized pas-
sages of Scripture which have re-
mained with us till this day and when
memory has practically gone BAY
will still be with us, How thankful
we are to our parents ',and to the
faithful servants of Christ, who had
the patience to teach us 'passages
and chapters from Holy Writ. There
is`nothing can take the place of that.
We, at times hear Sunday . Scheel'
teachers say '"Memorize Scripture?
I could never get my girls or boys
to memorize one verse. They just
simply will not do it." How did the
teachers of the olden days succeed so
well along that line? It was given to
us just so many verses at a time and
when we arrived home we were asked
by our parents. "What are your ver-
ses for next Sunday?" "Verses 6, 6'
and 7 of the 53 chapter of Isaiah,"
Usually we did not need any urging
to study them for we would be
ashamed to have our teacher ask us
to repeat them and we would have to
say "I didn't learn them", but if we
did need any prompting the week was
not well on the way when either one
of our parents got us started on them.
Is there any memory work •given
in our Sunday School classes to-
day? Ask any child who goes to
God's school and quite often the an-
swerwill be that the teacher did not
give then any to learn. What an op-
portunity we are missing. So often
we hear •older'people say. "I do wish
I had memorized more scripture

THE MIXING BOWL
'

Hydro Homo. Economist
Hello Homemakers! Honied words
may help sweeten a "sour" man but
they don't have any :effect in jam
making. So use sugar. Use accur-
ate amounts of sugar so that none
is wasted. Use fruits that cook to
a jam consistency readily -these are
currants, gooseberries, crabapples,
grapes, tart plums, strawberries,
apricots and cranberries. When you
use smaller amounts of sugar longer
cocking is required. During this
precarious stage the cookitig mixture
should be kept'boiling constantly and
stirred frequently so that the jam
will not be totig'h or scorched.
A few more points to keep in mind
when malting jam are;
1. Use fresh, clean 1-Init.

2. Use a mixture of one cup ripe
fruit to two cups under -ripe to in-
crease the pectin necessary for jelly-
ing.
3. Cook no more than three or four
quarts of fruit at a trine.
4. Warm the sugar hi a preheated
electric oven to speed up the cook-
ing of jan?.
5. Boil constantly and test for
jellying point. The experienced
method requires correct observations.
Lift a spoonful of the crooking liquid
and allow it to drip slowly from the
edge of the spoon. As the mixture
nears the jellying stage it will form
two distinct straight -edge drops.
Test repeatedly. When the two drops
tend to pull together the jam is
done. Remove from the electric
element at once.
6. Have containers sterilized and
hot when filling.
7. Cool and seal with paraffin—

During the summer of 1943 a blaeb
bear in Jasper National Park, Al-
berta, had four subs, three brown
and one black. Such an unusual oc-
currence created' quite an attraction,
not only for visitors but also for the
residents of Jasper. As soon as the
cubs were big enough to come to
town the mother bear proudly parad-
ed them- through the streets and
down to the railway station where
travellers passing through Jasper
could also see them. . The cubs s 9uick-.
ly became accustomed to humans who
fed them countless chocolate bars,
biscuits, and other tidbits. Hundred's
of feetof film were exposed showing
the public feeding and petting the
cubs and sometimes children rolling
',on the grass with then.
This summer these cute little
"clowns of the forest" • will have
grown to good-sized and powerful
bears. They will have become profes-
sional beggars, preferring the easy
way ;of. getting their food to the
natural way of hunting for• it in the
forest. If 'sufficient food totheir
liking is not forthcoming when they
require it they will take it anyway.
They will raid kitchen larders, base-
ments, cars, tents and garbage cans,
Complaints will be numerous and
eventually the park warden will be
asked to shoat these "cute little
cubs" of 1043.
That is why visitors to the nation-
al parks are being urged to refrain
!from feeding or petting the bears,
It is dangerous for the visitors and
is usually fatal to the bears.
SNAPSHOT GUILD
PICTURING INTERIORS
Interiors are not difficult to take. Why not make a pictureof your sol-
d have an extra print made to send along
sol-
dier's favorite lounging spot an to hlm.
A MATBTJRS are doing an excel-
" lent job of keeping those in the
Service supplied with snapshots
from borne. Most of these pictures,
however, are snaps of the family,
relatives or friends, ' That is fine.
But the boys and girls also like to
receive pictures that show thein the
homes themselves—who're they
lived -before going into the Ser-
vice. To complete the story, .then,
you should take some shots of home
interiors:
Under ordinary conditions flood
or flash lamps would be used for
illumination in taking pictures of
home interiors but, as it is quite
diftctilt to buy these lamps, due to
their scarcity, you can use another
method.
Without the aid oioflash or flood
lamps it is bettor, to rely 'entirely
upon daylight coming through the
windows, and supplement it where
necessary with a reflector. For in-
stance, if a room has a rather dark
corner, you can usually brighten
tate corner by having someone stand
just outside the: camera range and
hold a large white cloth, or piece of
cardboard, so that .it throws the
light in that direction..Or, better
still, you might use a 100 -watt .or_
200 -war home -type light in an in-
expensive reflector or bridge lamp.
Exposure for interior pictures de-
pends upon the illumination, type of
film, lens aperture, and the general
characteristics of the room. A room
containing dark carpets, hangings,
and woodwork will require a longer
exposure than one which is genet'-
,
enes• ally, light in tone. For an interior
with medium colored walls and fur-
nishings and two windows, make an
exposure of four to live seconds
if you are using very fast film . • .
and the sun is shining ... with the
lens aperture set at f/16. With
slower type film the exposure time
should be doubled.
One important thing is to get pic-
tures that show the i•oorn as •Corp.

the whole room in your picture but
you can get parts of it with each

Whenever possible leave enough
clear space between the lens and

that nothing bit the floor can be seen

reason for this is that auy object

support for your camera. A tripod is
the best bet because it can be set
for different .heights and is easily

A small table, however, will serve
the purpose.

further details regarding interior
pictures but you will find photo-
graphic' books at dealers' and ie.
libraries which will help you.
