Cool Chocolate -Flavored Milk Drinks.
• Time Savers
(by Mary Glaits Thompson)
On the porch. in the garden—any-
where out-of-doors, is where we like
to be in the •susnmertime.. Warm days
call for relaxation, too, So the pre-
paration of meals or afternoon and
evening entertaining should be plan-
ned along the lines of simplicity.
The most popular foods in summer
are those that are cool but satisfying.
They must be refreshing but not too
heavy to please fickle appetites
caused by the hot weather. What fits
better into sueh qualifications than
milk and ice-cream desserts! Here
is where homemakers can take a tip
from the corner drugstore.
A soda -fountain manager said the
other day that' chocolate milk drinks
and sodas account for most of his
business during the summer months.
"So many of my customers like the
chocolate flavor and they appreciate
the fact that milk and ice-cream are
good foods," he explained,
The basis for all these soda and
milk drinks is a smooth chocolate
syrup. It can be made in the home
kitchen quickly with a rich chocolate -
cocoa, watdr, sugar and flavoring.
The mixture is cooked just long en-
ough to blend the ingredients. Then,
when it is cool, the syrup can be kept
in the refrigerator. With a jar of
this chocolate syrup on hand. the
making of many milk beverages is
just a matter of last minute mixing.
Another aid to keeping •coo1 is to
have some delicious fudge squares
ready to serve. The combination of
PrayerMecting
By "PEG"
Now that the summer season is ap-
proaching the question has come up
before church boards "Are we going
to dispense with the Prayer Meeting
during the warm weather?"
In' spite of the fact that world con-
ditions have given prayer a place
Which it never had before many chur-
ches will close their doors on tate reg-
ular prayer meeting night. What a
tragedy! What a neglect of God!
It has been said, "The strength of
the church lies in the Prayer Meet-
ing." According to that standard
what is the strength of the church I
attend? Of course if we do not make
a practise of going to the weekly
prayer meeting we have no right to
pass judgment on the officials of the
churches who have seen fit to with-
draw the :service because so few at-
tend. The Head of the church Him-
self will deal with the members- of
the Boards or Sessions who are re-
sponible for that. If each one of us
had done his or her duty in this re-
spect there would have been no quest-
ion of discontinuing the Prayer Meet-
ing. Christ will.be there, the result
and failure will be because we have
not attended.
The good old days of the Prayer
Meeting seem to be past and gone.
Just let us compare those meetings
with the ones today and it may be
it will solve the question as to why
so few attend.
At our meetings now perhaps a
couple of hymns are sung, There
may be one or at the most two pray-
ers. The rest of the time is taken up
by the minister ora lay man who
given a talk. That pretty much con-
stitutes the prayer meeting of the
present day. One comes away with
ion to us and He will help us to bear
what He has sent to us of joy or sor-
row.
It may be there is to be no Prayer
Service in our church for some time,
or perhaps we are laid aside and
could not attend' if there was one,
but that does not mean we cannot
have a prayer service of our own, in
our oivn home or even in our own
room. Probably there is just the
mother and father left in the home
or a parent and son or daughter. How
better could an hour be put in?
Then too, we could invite some of our
friends to come in and study a posit-
ion of God's word with us, and then
meet with Him in a prayer circle.
What a joy it brings, not only to us
but to .our homes!
If we cannot persuade anyone to
come and join us even then we should
not be discouraged. We can set aside
an hour or more during the week and
can with Jesus Christ as our guest
have .a season .of strayer. Should
we have a regular set time for this
it will be more like an appointment
with our Saviour.

A SAPPER'S PARADISE
The bugle call had sounded "Taps" and out went every light
So I hit the hay in my two -by -sex to sleep throughout the night;
When suddenly a heavenly voice the evening's stillness rent
'Twas good St. Peter's call for me and heavenward I went.
It took me nest one hundred years. I didn't journey fast
But rather like an Erie freight or a troop g past;
I wondered why we made no stops till I heard St. Peter say:
"Sidetrack all the generals boys; there's a Sapper on the way."
At last I reached the pearly gates, in awe I gazed around
For there were forty majors all policing up the ground
While in dismay a colonel stood from early until late--
Hai
ate—He'd overstayed his • one -day pass and couldn't pass the gate.
St. Peter came as I looked on and held within lus hand
My army service record and a red tape rubber band;
He looked it over carefully and shouted through the door;
"You've earned your place in Heaven lad; you joined the Engineer corps.
"I know you tried to go to France and help write history's page
It's not your fault you had to wait till death came from old age.
Just bide your time. rest all you please; your time means nothing now
The nocoms will do all the work; and captains sling the chow."
The barracks were of marble made. inside were easy chairs
And captains fanned my fevered brow while corporals swept the stairs
The sergeants were the porters there and were supplied with mops
And, all the first lieutenants were St. Peter's kitchen k$ps.
We searched the "loots" for cigarettes, cigars and matches too.
And made them carry twelve -inch shells until the day was through.
And when for lack of sunlight they returned from all their whirls
They stayed in camp to scrub the floors while I had all the girls.
Infirmaries were also there, where doctors. weak and strong
Got three shots every morning and inspection all day long:
One surgeon with a broken leg got salts and three black pills;
I had him marked "for duty" to cure himo'.' his ills,
At last I tired of pleasure, upon a feather bed
I lay; no thought of reveille. "I'd sleep till noon instead.
But all at once I heard a noise, into my ear it spoke—
"It's four o'clock; relief outside" and then, oh, hell, I woke.
I grabbed my trusty rifle and in the morning air
I guarded ammunition for the boys 'way over there;
I walked my post in earnest until my feet were sore
And proud to be with the Eneineers, a SAPPER—nothing more.

The vision of the old time prayer
meeting was where people knelt be-
fore their chair regardless of wheth-
er the floor was dusky or not. It was
not a case of kneeling for five or ten
minutes but it went in to sometimes
over an hour. Not every one pray-
ed, but those who felt led to do so
offered their petitions to Him who is
the Hearer of all prayer. If there
was time the minister spoke a few
words, but his message was second-
ary to the offering of prayer.

11/4 cups fine granulated sugar

We hear people say "There is no
enc now but the minister who can
pray" "I never could pray in public"
"Let some one else do it."
Does it ever occur to us that if we
cannot pray in public then our priv-
ate prayers amount to very little. It
may be we have not got far past the
stage of "Now I lay me down to
sleep,"
It is true there are many timid'
souls who find it hard to pray in
public. It is not the vehemence or
the length of a prayer which counts,
but the sincerity. The publicans
prayer was "God bo merciful to me
a Sinner" the thief out the Cross
prayed "Lord, remember me when
Thou comest into thy Kingdon." Sur-
ely we can summon enough courage
to say that ranch.
We often hesitate to pray in public
because we feel we will make a mis-
take; we will say something which
will not beiust right. The fact that
we feel thus show that we are think-
ing of those about us and not of Him
who is the real Judge of what we are
sayings. Prayer wouldbe much eas-
ier if we would only consider that,
Our prayer, public or private,
should be of two parts, thanksgiving
for the many blessings God bas be-
stowed upon us and our petition for
those things which God considers
right and necessary for us to have. n
God has given us joy, If an earth-
ly friend gave us something which
pleased us we would know what to
say .to that one. That is all the
"Giver of all good: gi.ts" requires
from us. Should He deem it wise to
send sorrow or trouble we should
come to Him with the same spirit of
thankfulness. It may be hard for
us to thank Him for things which are
eontrary to our expectations but
when we consider He is an all wise
Judge we will realize He has sent
what is beet for us. We know we
will not have to go through it alone
for He has promised to be a Compal -

"The Larger Prayer
At first I prayed for Light
And next I prayed for Strength
And then I prayed for Faith
But now I pray for Lave:
Deep love to God and man,
A living love that will not fail,
However dark His plan.
And Light and Strength and Faith
Are opening every where;
God only waited for me. till
I prayed the larger prayer.

I love the scent of lilacs in the spring
A single breath of it can change for
me,
As if by some sweet. secret alchemy
The things that are, and for a mom-

And children playing by a lilac tree.

These made my world, and it was
From care and sorrow. I have felt
their sting
In later years, and I have known a
world
Saddened by wars and want, and by
the various ills
Which follow in their train. So far
apart
These two worlds lie, and like to
banners furled
To shut from each other, till lilacs

The air with fragrance. and joins
them in my heart.

The morning sun shone on the floor,
The village, riddled ruined, stood
Below the green ancestral wood.

Had swept the land with fire and

Now men were gone, and mien were
dead.
"Yet walls must rise." the women
said.
"Fields must be planted, children

With tools and carry -poles they

Involuntarily I stood
And bared my head to womanhood.

A Pass To Paradise
A school trustee stood at the pearly
gate,
his face was worn and old.
He meekly asked the man of fate,
admission to the fold?
What have you done? St Peter asked,
to seek admission here.
"I've been a school trustee on earth
for many ,many a year."
The gate swung open sharply;
St. Peter touched a bell,
"Come in. he said, and take a harp,
you've had enough of hell."
