How than, is the pharisee: what we are true these statements are may be suggesting is that if any one plsrtieix- seen from the fact that in each of the lar evil is to be singled out as a three portions of Scripture chosen for special topic for the Church to -day the lesson text for this week drunk - types ought not to be any of the cruder enness finds its place as just one of types of intemperance of the flesh, but that lust of proud morality which, knowing no bounds of presumption; boasts itself righteous before the living, holy God! We must on no ac- count lose sight of the fact that it was not "imrnox•ality", but "religion" which mit Jesus to death,—not the "world", but the "church", the kee- pers of the law, turned Jesus over to be crucified. We must now notice a further fact, namely, that in each of our lesson passages there are mentioned vices equally as sinful as intemperance in drink: dishonesty, strife and envy (Rom. 13:18); idolatry, covetousness, reviling, extortion (1 Cor. 6:9,10); witchcraft, hatred, variance; emula- tion, wrath, sedition, heresy (Gal. 5: 20, 21). And the most startling fact of all is that these sins are called in the Scriptures the works of the FLESH! Our modern age has thus broken with the Scriptures not only in that it singles outas the object of special attack an outward immor- ality such as drink, but also in that it makes a false distinction between so-called "spiritual" and "fleshly" en the basis of a moral character, sus. Every sin, envy, idolatry, emu- which, in the New Testament, is con- )stir), yes, and even heresy, is the manly called "nharisaisnt" fruit of the flesh! Not immorality, but religiosity, a Finally, we must notice that works trusting in religion as such, thisiis of righteousness —a righteousness the one evil against whice. prophase according to Gods judgment and not sp(ars)e: and Jesus Christ 'himself, i according to .cru own—arise only in unite in fighting most ruthlessly.

Jesus' attitude` is summed up Christ, and make nat provision for for us in hisown words in Mark 2:17, the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof." "They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are ,sick: I carne not to call the righteous, but rimier: to repentance". What been crucified' with Christ (Gal. 220), Jesus here means is not that some the man of faith. is called>unon to are righteous and that others are die unto himself, that the Spirit may ,not, but rather that some think they bring Earth fruit: .lave, jay, peace, are righteous and so have no need of Iongsuffering, gentleness, goodness, Jesus The pharisee is unconscious faith, meekness, and temperance. • of' any need of a physician;—though (Gals 5:22, 234 there is within hini, eating away his. growth of self-righteousness. B u t the publican and the sinner— though not for this reason justified—haee in their visible immoralities ars open -many acts of ungodliness. If there is any one evil which •does receive more direct reference than others, especially inthe'Gospels, it is 'not any crude outward form of im- mortality, but rather- that condition, possible only among the most fer- vently religious and moral type of person, known as "pharisaism". This is by no means to suggest that the' Scriptures regard open immorality lightly—even a superficial reading of our lesson text clearly indicates the feari'rrl seriousness of all sin. Words could not more clearly .express the 'awfulness of every ungodly act than ,'the following: "They which do such 'brings shall not inherit the kingdom .of God" (Gal 5:21; 1 Cor: 6:10). What we are here suggesting is that if any one evil is to be selected from among' 'others for special considera- tion, then, it the light of Scripture, it ought not to be intemperance in drink, or "the moral Iissue in the drink problem" (as our lesson for this week is entitled), but rather it • ought to be that deep-seated sense 'of security and self-justification up - (Rohl. 13,14) And again, "Walls in the Splint, and ye shall not fulfil the hist of the flesh" (Gal 5:16), Having "Crown Brand" Corn Syrup makes happy, healthy chil- dren.

MNJJJ'MI:I•N•I•MPN HEALTH The Best To you your best, is to do as well as you can, ' How much easier it is for us to do our best when there is smooth sailing ahead than when; there are difficulties arising in front of us. It is not the most active people who are always doing' their best. Those who are laid aside, those who are suffering, those to whom the door of the great outside is closed may be doing their best tb a far greater de- gree than many of us who are not handicapped: Perhaps we have undertaken some task and when it is finished we feel that success is ours. How often there goes with it the remorse that we have not done»our best and we knew at the time that we were not doing our best. God has endowed us with talents. Why will we net use them to the very best of our ability? We try to teach children that they must aim high and try to keep up to that standard, and yet we fall far below our ideal. Phillips Brooks says "No man or woman of the humblest sort, can really be strong, gentle, pure and good, without the world being better for it, without somebody being helped or comforted by the very existence of that goodness." We have the perfect example of goodness in Jesus Christ. Do we do our best to imitate to the highest de- gree that standard? Looking back over our lives we can pick out in- stances of where we have fallen short of it, we have not done our best, we have allowed the tempter to come in, Our lives would be very tame if we did not strive continually after something. Anything we can get without a struggle is really not as precious to us as something for which we have worked hard. Because we have fallen or been defeated once, does that mean that we will not try. again? Because eve have fallen short of our aim, does that necessitate our , staying down, and not putting forth our best effort to reach our ideal? In order to do our best we must keep looking beyond our reach and with God's help we will mount step by step, ever onward, to higher ground. The Influence Of A Good Mother The daringly disobedient boys should not be allowed to control the school, nor the rough -necks the prison Our schools would be better with a lees outside sinister influence, our pri- sons with stricter control, observes the Port Rowan.

Nothing short of the best Human mothers, are good enough, to preeare their stan- dards. No doubt there area large numb of men in gaol now who are in this class. These are far below the middle percent. of the standard of perfect manhood. When they once break the thin string of honor that holds them they have no honor left to hold thein first to honesty, and those who are in equipped with virtuous leadings are apt to go far astray. Once a few years ago twelve little boys stepped behind a church when the morning 'school bell started to ring, and soon another boy joined "If you can't be a pine on the top of the hill, Be a swrub in the valley, but be The best little scrub at the side of the rill; Be' a bush if you can't be a tree.

A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANIADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA COOKING Tested «r. .f1 COUGHING,. Coughing is almost invariably a re's flex act. It ;may occasionally be a neurotic or wilful act. In the vast majority of cases the stinitilus which originates the cough is situated in $ome region of the respiratory pas sages between the vocal chords and the tiny little terminal air cells in the lungs which are found at the end of the branches coming off the wind- pipe. This is called the bronchial tree. • The cause of the irritation in the respiratory passages is in the major- ity of cases either an inflamed or con- gested' condition of the mucous membrane lining the passage or an excessive quantity of mucous ,irrita- tion brought about by invading ene- mies called germs. Less freqent caus- es are haemorrhage in the iungs, thy- roid gland sit -hated like a horse shoe around the air passage in the neck, or foreign bodies in the throat or windpipe such as dust or particles of food. The character of the cough varies with the cause and to some extent with the general state of health. The most obvious distinction in the qual- ity of the cough is that between the moist or loose cough and the dry or hard cough The loose cough indi- cates the successful removal of muc- ous from the air passages which in adults results in expectoration. Chil- dren usually swallow secretions which they cough up. The dry cough indi cates the presence of an irritant which the cough is unable to remove from the air passages, The hard cough of the early stages .of bronchial cat- arrh is usually followed by a loose cough consequent upon the production of mucous which is secreted by the inflamed membrane, It is most im- portant that persons suffering from a dry hard cough be kept warm and free from chills or exposure in order that the inflammation, which is pre- sent may not be permitted to pro- gress to the point of invading the lung tissue and thus., produce pneumonia. A short, weak,' frequently repeated dry cough is known as a hacking cough, It is due to a mild irritation in the upper air passages, a condi- tion which if untreated may become chronic. Inflammation of the larynx and vo- cal chords causes a barking cough which is usually ineffectual ill reumov= ing any mucous. Coughing is much more prevalent in winter than in summer because disease germs which are so frequent- ly present in the mdtibh and nose flourish when the body is subjected to lower temperatures. It is, there- fore, most important that in winter every effort be made to keep the body free from undue exposure to cold and ,vet. When a cough does develop stay indoors if at all possible until all dan- der of developing a serious infection has passed. A neglected cough or cold accounts for a great many ser- ious illnesses and a great many deaths. It doesn't pay to ignore a troublesome cough, Questions concerning health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical'As- sociation, • 184 College St., Toronto, will be answered personally by letter. them. On the way home, the boy who had escaped the whipping began to feel mean about it, so he resolved to toll his mother about it. I -le went In his mother's roost and told the whole story, His mother cried over himfor his distress was very great. Well now my dear little boy what can I do about it? Can you think. You tell me -please. What wrong did you do? I told a lie. To whom did you tell it?' T'o' teacher. What about the boys? Is that {two lies? Yes mnd :here is still another. That one is the lie to God.

He got up quickly arid went to school and told the children and the pupils his story. He got his whipping, and all the little gir•Is'and boys gave him help with the job of crying he had to do. His .'mover' went in and he ran to her and to school no more that day. It seems that, little children Can be scared to any height or honor a good mother wants to scare them. Cockroaches Menace To Public Health The common cockroach is thepo- tential carrier of numerous disease organisms. Investigatoes have shown that many germs can pass through the digestive tract of the cockroach unharmed, and may be present m a virulent condition in the insects ex- creta. Among these, to name only a few are included the bacteria that cause tuberculosis and typhoid; also pathogenic streptococci, and the pro- tozoa that cause dysentery. As cock- roaches will feed on human _sputem there is real danger that tuberculosis might be spread in this way, particu- larly in public eating places. In ad.- diton it is known' that cockroaches serve as the secondary or intermediate hosts of parasitic nematodes or round- worms, one species` of which causes a form of cancer in rats and mice. In view of their menace as disease car- riers, and also because they contam- inate' human food with a persistent fetid odour which comes from secre- tions' of their glands, the control of cockroaches is of general public inter- est These insects have flattened, horny bodies and large spiny legs, which enable them to naive quickly and take refuge in cracks and other Mall crevices in walls, floors, etc., where they usually remain hidden dur- ing the day and emerge at night to Prowl about in search of food. They are practically omnivorous, but parti- Recipes 1!••'AHi s sH wW_ NnMH.✓NHf +'HMrHf i�H'.'.t+„H�., - CHEESE FOR THE PART Particularly appropriate on the an- niversary of National Cheese Week and the beginning of the fall and win- ter party -giving season, the follow- ing recipes suggested by the Milk Utilization Service, Dairy and Cold Storage Branch, Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture, may be found useful in serving cheese in the at- tractive ways described. Cheese Squares Cut fruit bread in squares (about 114 inches.) Blend together grated cheddar cheese with sufficient butter to make a soft mixture. Spread the four sides and top of the bread squares with the cheese mixture: Sprinkle with paprika. Bake in a hot oven or under broiler until cheese begins to melt. Serve hot. Cheese Muffins 2 cups flour 3 teaspoons baking powder Half teaspoon salt Half cup grated cheese 2 tablespoons butter, melted 1 egg 1 cup milk. Mix and sift together flour, bak- ing powder: and salt. Add grated cheese. Mix in milk and beaten egg, then add butter. Fill tiny buttered muffin this about one-third full of batter. On this drop a little mar- malade or jelly. Cover with batter, filling tins about two-thirds full. Bake in a moderate oven (375 degrees F.) about 15 minutes. Serve hot. Cheese Sandwiches Cut bread three-quarters inch thick into small squares or rounds. Butter and pile with cream cheese mixed with salad dressing. Sprinkle with finely chopped nuts, olives, green pepper, pimento or watercress. Combine one 3 oz. package cream cheese with 2 cups minced ham and half cup chopped watercress. Add salad dressing 'to moisten. Spread generously on whole wheat bread. Cut in fingers.

Infestations may often be detected by the presence of the cast skins and empty egg capsules, even when the living roaches have escaped notide The most widespread species in Canada is the small, so-called, German cockroach, Blatella gee-nanica L, which is very prevalent in apartment and dwelling houses, hotels, restaur- ants, stores, etc., where warm moist conditions and a plentiful food supply are to be found. Sometimes, during the summer months, they live and multiply in garbage dumps, and, in a number of cities 'and towns, they have been reported causing a great. deal of annoyance by migrating from such places into nearby dwellings. The common cockroach is a small species measuring about five-eighths of aninch long when mature. It is light -brown in colour and bears two distinct dark-brownstripes on the thorax. It is troublesome all the year round in heated dwellings. The cont, o1 of cockroaches may be effected with sodium, fluoride. The powder should be (lusted lightly in places frequented by the insects, and brawn by means of a dust gun, or in- secticide':puffer into cracks and. cre- vices which shelter them. The sodium fluoride adheres to the bodies and: ap- pendages of the roaches, which in cleaning 'themselves are poisoned i by it. Owing to the somewhat poisonous character ofthis insecti&de reasonable precautions should be taken to pre- vent .children oe domestic pets from gaining access to it. Two: other ma- terials often recommended are pyre- thrum and borax. Pyrethrem insect powder is less effective than sodium fluoride, it loses its effectiveness quickly ,on;exposure to air, and has to be used in larger quantities. Borax also, is leas satisfactory than sodium fluoride, but it is easily obtainable, CARE OF CHILDREN THIS MODEST CORNER IS DEDICATED TO THE POE11S Here They Will Sing You Their Songs --Sometimes Gay, Sometimes Sad—But Always Helpful and Inspiring.
