Last Sunday's lesson text ended, "And they went out, and preached .• that men should repent; and they oast out many devils, and annointed with oil' many that were sick, and .healed theme' This week's. lesson -opens, "And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they -ihad done and what they had taught." (Mark 6:12,13,30). In this twofold activity of the apostles,, namely, the, going out from Jesus and the return-, ing to Him again, is to be seen the for meat" (Gen. 1:29; 2;16,17). And our Lord Himself, in resisting the temptation of the devil, (the temp- tation to live• by bread alone, without the Word, which Adam had attempt- ed to do) recognises, in. His answer to, the devil, the claims of the flesh as rightful claims .of God's creation, "Man shall ''not live by bread ALONE". Hence we axe told in our lesson text that Shepherd first gives His Word—this' is. the true nourish- ment and the sole hope of sinful peo- ple who have despised and lost that Word. But our Lord next recognises and provides for the physical needs of His people. A Church which plae- ''perpetual task cf, the Church.

BUYING BEEF BY GRADE Being beef by grade takes the hazard out of marketing -because the quality of the two grades of branded beef is guaranteed by Government in- spectore. The first grade is known as. Choice and the cuts are stamped with a thin red ribbonlike mark, the second grade is the Good brand, marked in blue. Full information: as to choosing and cooking beef is con- tained in the 52 -page illustrated pam- phlet "Beef, How to Choose and Cook It", which may be obtained free on application from the Publicity and Extension Branch, Dominion • Depart- ment of Agriculture, Ottawa. The following recipes are taken from the pamphlet. Short Ribs with Vegetables. Brown desired quantity of short ribs on all sides in hot frying pan. Place in covered casserole with a few slices of onion, salt and pepper, and cook slowly for about 3 hours. When cooked, remove ribs, thicken. liquid with flour, reheat and serve together,' Tf desired, boiled potatoes, peas, on- ions, 'diced turnips and carrots may be added to the gravy, or served sep- arately. Pan Broiled Flank Steak. Trim a flank steak and wipe with a piece of cheese cloth wrung from cold water. Score diagonally in op- posite directions on both sides with a sharp knife. Thoroughly grease a hissing -hot frying pan with some of the fat trimmings; place steak in Pan and turn every ten seconds for the first three minutes of cooking to sear the surface well over. After this, re- duce heat and turn occasionally until richly browned on both sides. Re- move to hot serving platter, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and spread gen- erously with butter. Sirloin Steak a la Hollandaise. Prepare a Hollandaise sauce as fol- lows; put 4 egg yolks in the top of e. double boiler, beat slightly, add half cup butter, and half cup cold water. Set over low heat and stir constantly, keeping the water in the lower part of the boiler pet below boiling point, the lower part of the boiler having been half filled with hot water at the start. When the mixture thickens to the consistency of boiled custard, add gradually half teaspoonful salt, mix- ed with quarter teaspoonful poppet and few grains cayenne. continue beating. Than add 2 tablespoonfuls lemon juice slowly while beating. Pour half of sauce onto a hot platter' over this place a thick, juicy, broiled sirloin steak, cover steak with remain- ing sauce and serve immediately. How To 'Use Frozen Fruits—Vegetables To those who are fortunate enough to be able to purchase the new quick frozen fruits and vegetables, some hints regarding the proper handling of them may be helpful, suggests.

When we are away on seine mission, when we. have been visiting, when we have been compelled through illness to. spend some time, in a hospital, when duty has called usto someone else's. home, when perhaps we have been privileged to visit in foreign lands, how pleasant it has been to visualize. a honta, Whether it has. been in a busy city, whether it has been in a country town or village, or "whether it has been on a farm, what a joy it has been when through holidays or some , other arrangement we have been permitted to visit our home. At first how strange everything seems. The house itself does not appear ex- actly as we thought it would. -Our dear ones have changed to a certain extent. The clock has its own. parti- cular tick -tock, and) how, often we waken in the night with very happi- ness of being in our own bed. The neighbors come to bid us welcome and'the little children tc tell the dis- trict gossip in their ownsweet child- ish way. This is a return to our earthly home. If there is this amount of joy in going to see those we love here what must be the joy when we are summoned to our Heavenly Home; there to meet our Saviour and those whom we have loved and lost awhile. All we know of that Horne is what we are told in His Word but we do know it is a Home beyond compare with anything. here. Few of us travel far in life without realizing what pain and sorrow are but there will be none of that there, just' one Life of Joy. It is for us to choose whether we'll enjoy That Life or not. 'TIS LIFE BEYOND I watched a sail until it dropped from sight Over the rounding Sea. A gleam of white, A Last far -flashed farewell, and, like a thought Slip't out of mind, it vanished and was not. Yet to the helmsman standing at the wheel Broad seas still stretched beneath the gliding keek, Disaster? Change? He felt no slightest sign, Nor dreamed he of that far horizon line, So may it be, perchance, when down the tide Our dear ones vanish. Peacefully they glide On level seas, nor mark the unknown bound, ,, We call it death—to them 'tis life beyond. -"PEG." of Agriculture. When purcnasing it is impatient to see that the fruits are hard frozen and that no free liquid is present. , In the case of fruits packed with sugar or syrup, there may be some very heavyayrup evident, but, if the fruits are firm frozen and: the mass hard, they may be considered as being in good condi- tion. Strawberries and raspberries should be allowed to thaw out at room'tem- perature or in the icebox or refriger- ator. At room temperature, three or four' hours will be necessary, and in the ice box, four to eight hours. For dessert purposes they should be serv- ed when the last evidence of frost is disapp•aaiing. It is a good plan to take the frozen mass from the con- tainer and place it in a glass or china dish to thaw out. Cherries and pea- ches should be thawed in the original containers and kept sealed while' so doing to prevent browning. These fruits may be served as desserts with cream orused in salads, short - mime, perfaits, hort-cakes,.parfaits, or pies. . When .mak- ing pies, -the drained fruit may be us- ed or the syrup,thickened with starch or "tapioca, If ` drained fruit is used the syrup may .be' made into, ' jelly by the addition of gelatin. Frozen vegetables must bo cooked immediately :after thawing, or they may he put on to cook while still in the frozen state. As a general rule, the boiling time is about one-half that given to fresh vegetables, as the freezing; softens then • in the same way as cooking. They should be serv- ed as soon after cooking as possible. It should be remembered that these fr{lits and vegetables are prepared for use before they are frozen and there- fore they do not require any washing or sorting before cooking, They must hot, however, be treated as canned foods as they have not been steriliz.' ed and are subject to spoilage 'when defrosted, perhaps more quickly than fresh fruits and vegetables.' GJ COOKING A HEALTH SERVICE.' OF THE. CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION ANO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA The Human Has Great Power of Adjustment The human body possesses remark- able strength and yet is , extremely fragile.. Deprived of air for but a few minutes, the whole body perishes; deprived of its blood supply for only a fete minutes, the more important brain cells are permanently damaged: The true strength of the body lies M its capacity to adjust itself to changing conditions. A simple exam- ple is seen in the fairly constant tem- perature maintained by the body de- spite wide variations in the tempera- ture of the surrounding atmosphere. Many other interesting examples will come to mind of this capacity- to adjust. Similarly, the human mind possesses an ability to adjust the in tellectual and emotional life. Sue- cessful adjustment means health; fail- ure to adjust means. loss of health and, perhaps disease. It is obvious that we must adjust to temperature and other external physical changes. It is no less true, even if less apparent, that we must, individually, make an adjustment of the emotions and intelligence to those with whom we live and work and to those set in authority, which really means an adjustment to society or the world in which we live. The body must adjust, not only to changes in the outside environment but also to those changing conditions which occur within the body. The body would be destroyed by its own production of heat and the residue or by-products of muscular activities if it did not possess this capacity to deal -with them through adjusting it- self to them. • Int like manner, the intellectual and emotional life requires a satisfactory adjustment within as without This might be expressed by saying that we must be able to live with oursel- ves as well Its with other people. There are many things which con- tribute to this desirable end. We are not all born with the same capabili- ties. We have to learnt what are our limitations and to accept the super- iority of others without feeling infer- ior ourselves. Authority should be seen as a friendly aid to help every- one to desirable ends. Each one must find some thing which he can do with personal satisfaction, the doing of which shall be socially acceptable. The adult attitude is developed chiefly out of childhood experiences. The child who feels that at home or school he is punished unfairly, that his punishment is but the venting• of adult anger, is not going to regard authority thus exercised as the imme- diate result of his own actions. The humiliation of a child through any means is destructive as it undermines self-respect and leads to either defi- ance or withdrawal. The child needs understanding and direction so that he may learn to adjust, and, so secure health and happiness for himself. First -Aid In The Tea -Pot Burns and scalds are dangerous be- cause of shock and collapse- in the early stage and later from absorption of a substance called histamine and other poisons from the site of the in- jury, from n-jury,:from excessive loss of fluid and from pain, Eighty per cent of the mortality of burns or scalds is from the aforenamed causes; twenty per cent of the total mortality is from sapsis, 'the so-called blood -poisoning. Accidents of this nature are al- ways emergencies. Everyone should know. what to- do in an emergency. Knowledge in suchmatters may save a life. Burns and scalds may come from fire, from scalding water or steam, from chemicals, gas or elec- tricity, The handiest first-aid resides in the tea-pot. An infusion of tea, not too hot, should 'at once. be emptied to the burn or scald. Soak a few thicknes- ses of clean, linen or cotton in the tea and apply this to the burned or scalded surface. Cover with a ban- dage Wrap the patient in blankets to keep him warm and lessen shock; give him plenty of hot drink and wait for the doctor, What is there in, tea that is good for burns? ITlze substance is tannin. Tea -has been used for brims and scalds by theChinesefor 5000 years. If anything is given the patient for pain this should be noted and the doc- tor, when he conies, told about it, The latter will clean up the parts and ap- ply more permanent remedies, It is. important not to apply grease of any kind, flour or other household rem- edy: These only add to the doctor's troubles, induce sepsis and fail of re- liefto the victim of a ,burn or scald.

IN A LONDON PARK, Small folic of woods and grass, Shy thingswe seldom see, Regard us as they pass With careless scrutiny. Forsaking leaves and shade, Bold in the broadest day, Waterhees unafraid Walk but a yard away. With opal necks agleam The wild wood -pigeons coo, Their glances scarcely seem. To trouble what we do. And just when dusk is here, The ducks' most secret hour, Drops without trace of fear • Each wanderer to its bower. For news has gone about And crossed the town like flame, And reached the woods -without: I•Iere man, at last, is tatne. —Lord' Dunsany. WINTER But winter has yet brighter scenes —he boasts, Splendors beyond what gorgeous summer knows. Or autumn with z vith his many fruits and woods, All flushed With many hues. Come when the rains Have glazed the snow and clothed the trees with ice, While the slant sun of February pours Into the bowers a flood of light. Ap- proach!

UNTO THE PERFECT DAY And so the climb. And ages are the rungs Of that tall ladder rising to the e height An aeon for the journey of the soul Were all too short a time. The mov- ing Band PIays an eternal and unhurried game, And every rule is perfect, first and last. We are the plowmen of forevermore, Who plant and reap a vast and ver- dant field. Our hand shall gather what our hand has strewn, Our mind remembers in the dream- ing night Seed -time and harvest when the earth was young, When the wild grape was heavy ore the vine, And no sound stirred upon the aut- umn dusk Save the red rain of leaves on hut and Trill. For man is not the gesture of an hour. His heart is nourished with an an- cient wine; IIis ears are haunted and his lips are touched With songs, unlearned, yet nowise strange lie him, But .like the echo of his richest Iieed, And every turning of the wheel of time Quickens his vision of the uttermost star, The vaster freedom and the godlier love, —Barbara Young. BEFORE THE DAY In that one darkest hour before the dawn is here Each soul of us goes sailing close to the coast of Fear, There' is the windless quiet, from out the folded black, The things we have forgotten — or would forget—come back. Olcl sorrows, long abandoned, or kept with lock and key, Steal from their prison places to bear es company. All softly come our little sins—our scarlet sine—and grey, To keep with us a vigil till breaking of the day; And there are velvet footsteps, or oft we seem to hear Light garments brush against the dar t'1 , so near—so very near. From out the 'red confusion where men long watches keep, New shadows Come -we . know they come—and in the dark we weep.
