The Home
"Mid pleasures and palaces, though we
may roam,
Be it ever so humble, there's no place
like home."
Home life is the same the world
over. It means the living together of
members of families, each home a
small world in itself.
A mother, after bringing up a large
family, said after visiting them in
their respective homes, "Although
they are all my children, each home
is as different as eau be. I don't see
where they all carne from and why
etheir honaes are not more alike, when
they were an brought up under the
same roof." Yet there is a similarity.
The stamp of the teachings and lives
of the parents is indelibly marked on
the future lives of their children in a
more or leas degree.
In the home are taught the first
4ays to work, how to do things efflici-
ently and well. If one can also secure
inspiration it is surely a haven frone
which much good will come.
It is the place where the best as
well as the worst is seen, where toler-
ance and unselfishness make for the
happy home and where thoughtless-
ness and unkindness make for the un-
happy home. Naturally because of the
closeness and intimacies of home life,
-controversies will arise. "Tell me
what you quarrel about and I will tell
you what you are," was the pointed
title of an excellent inagii'zine article.
Then we mothers must make the
home beautiful and comfortable for
our own. We should study color to
have the rooms restful and harmoni-
ous, study foods and their values to
keep the body healthy and study home
economics in all its phases to make it
truly successful. One enters one
house where all may be beautiful but
it -lacks the atmospliereeof home. In
another is immediately imparted to
one the friendly warm atmosphere of
the perfect home 'where joy and love
reign supreme. It is -here the young
must be taught the firet great lessons
of lite under the firm hand of the.ones
who love them the best, and it surely
-depends on the kind of homes we give
our children as 'to the kind -of citizens
our boys and girls will become.
Great -characters come from great
homes, and. it is what takes pace be-
hind the closed door in the secrecy of
family life that builds :the nation to
greatness more surely than all other
things put together, governments,
business life, or industries, for it is
from character that good citizenship
grows. Religion is the first necessity
in the making ot that character since
religion is the great father of all that
is good.
Ventilation and Warmth
Very soon these bright, warm ant-
umn days will make way for the more
sombre shades and chill of late fall.
Furs and heavy coats are broughteout
after their long rest in their moth
bags; they are examined and brushed
and their cosy warmth feel e good. The
furnilee, long cies black and cold, is
sought to cheer the rooms with heat.
It is well to remember the import -
ands ef having sufficient moisture in
the closed up rooms; artificial heating
needs artificial moisture to keep the
rooms right. This can be done by
having water pans attached to the ra-
diators or on or near the hot air regis-
ters, as well as keeping the furnace
water pans filled. Thesinging of the
tea kettle as it sends forth its steam
might well keep up its song, at the
same time giving off steady curling
seams of moisture.
Dry air is hard on the nose, throat
and lungs, and it is a fact that one..
feels comfortable in a much lower
temperature if there is proper humidity
in' a heated room. A quick change of
air every few hours by opening the
windows for a few minutes is also a
good practice and it is surprising how•
quickly the fresh air will warm up
again and one feels a new sense of
comfort, because of the oxygen admit-
ted.
Good Things to Eat
Arkansas Ham
Ham cut in thin slices, 3 tablespoons
vinegar, 1% teasp. sugar, paprika, 1%
teasp. mustard.
Cook ham in hot frying fat until
lighty browned, Remove to hot plat-
ter. To the fat in pan add the vine-
gar, sugar, paprika and mustard well
mixed. When heated pour over ham,
and serve at once, Hain cut an inch
thick is sometimes preferred to thin
slices.
Lemon Pie
Cream together one cup sugar, one
tablespoon butter, yolks of two eggs.
Then add. juice and grated rind of one
lemon, three tablespoons flour, one cup
of milk and fold in the beaten whites
of two eggs. Pour this filling into your
pie crust and put into an oven very
hot for a few minutes, then decrease
the heat until it is quite low.
Children's Earnings .
Children like to be given an oppor-
tunity to make a little money. If there
is no chance for them to sell flowers,
magazines, papers or any Other aeticle
pay them for helping in the garden,
Mound the house, with the dishes or
cooking. A. fiat rate of so much per
hour agreed upon by the children is a
good idea.
Summer Squeaks
Many deers and hinges develop
squeaks in summer. It is a good plan
to thoroughly oil mechanical devices
about the house regularly. Too hot
weather dries out oil very fast and
lack of oil ruins the best machine.

Why Worry?

"My, but I will be anxious until I get a letter
from you telling zne you are safe at home," said
Mrs. Martin as she bid her sister and her two
children good-bye at the station.
"'Why worry,?" exclaimed her sister. "I will
telephone you .from the junction when we change
trains, and again the minute we get home."
"Indeed, I forgot all about the telephone,

ing, 1 swill be listening for your call. It really

INTRODUCTION Simo. Peter ap-
pears in the Gospel according to Mark
first of all as a fisherman with his
brother Andrew, at the sea of Galilee,
casting a net in the sea. Jesus called
them to follow him and they left the
nets end followed. It is quite evident
from this story that they had known
Jesus before and had listened to his
teaching. They were, therefore, in
some measure prepared for the call to
full discipleship. This harmonizes
with the story told in the Gospel of
John, according to which Andrew was
a disciple of John the Baptist to whom
John pointed out Jesus, ealling him
"the Son of God." Andrew then fol-
lowed Jesus and brought to him also
his brother Peter, John 1: 35-42. They
had apparently been disciples of Jesus
for a time during his early ministry,
had 'then returned to their home in
Capernaum, and were now called to
be permanently with him. In Mark's
list of disciples Peter is given first
place (3: 13-19), as also on Matthew
(10: 2-5) and Luke, 6:12-16, He was
one of the three, Peter, James and
John, who seem to have formed an
inner circle about the Master, and
vsihorn, he brought into a closer intim-
acy with himself.
A GREAT CONFESSION, Mark 8: 27-29.
It was well on in the second year
of Jesus' ministry in Galilee that he
came with. his disciples "into the td-
lage of Caesarea Phillips," on the
southern slopes of Mount Hermon.
This is where the modern town of
Bellies now stands and is a place of
great natural beauty situated more
than a thousand f eet above the level
of the sea. Here Jesus appears to
have sought retirement and opportun-
ity for closer conversation with his
disciples. A crisis in his ministry
was approaching. Believing that he
was the Messieh, the Kine, the Sa-
viour, predicted by the prophets and
long looked for by the people, he knew
At the public announcemen; of this
could not be much longer delayed.
( He had been preaching the coming of
the kingdom of God. Now he must
declare himself as King. Would the
people accept him? Would the multi-
tudes who had been thronging about
him acknowledge him as King and
Lord? Could he rely upon his little
band of disciples to stand by him?
Knowing now full well that the malice
of his enemies would not stop short of
his death, he must have desired to
know how such an announcement
would affect their minds. The an-
nouncement, he felt, must be made in
order that the minds of his disciples
might be prepared for such a tragedy
and that they might be assured 'that
this was not the end.
The answer of the disciples to Jesus'
first question (v. 27) reveals to us
something of what was being said in
the towns and villages of Galilee about
him by those who had listened to his
'teaching. One of the great prophets
of a former age had come to life again,
they said, or it was John the Baptist
escaped from Herod's prison, and not
really dead as had been reported. But
the answer of Peter to his second
question (v. 29) must have greatly
Pleased him. Peter, believing hi 8 be -1
loved Master to be indeed the prom-
ised King and Saviour, the Messiah,
the Christ, speaking or all the dis-
ciples, made his great confession—.
"Thou are the Christ." First of that
great company of confessors, who
would through the coming centuries
believe and declare their faith in him,
Jesus saw in Peter the living rock
upon which his church would be built
(compare Eph. 2: 20-22). So it has
ever been, The strength of the church
has always lain in the steadfast faith
of believing souls instructed by the
Spirit of God and confessing Christ
before the world.
Ir. A GREAT DENIAL, Luke 22: 31-34;
John 18: 25-27.
All four Gospels tell of Peter's de-
nial. Like the other disciples he had
fl -4 from the scene of the arrest of
Jesus in Gethsemane. But his flight
was only for the moment. John tells
us that Peter and another disciple fol..
lowed Jesus,18: 15-16, One zan im-
agine the ate of mind into which
they had fallen. Peter was no coward.
In. the garden he had drawn. his sword
- had struck a blow in defence of
his Master, in spite of the fearful odds
hick were against ' im. But Jesus
had bidden him put up his sword. His
whole being must have been aroused
in flaming protest against what he
saw—his Lord whom he had confessed
now helpless in the power of his en-
emies. If Peter could have led the
band of disciples in battle for Jesus
to attempt his rescue there would have
been no denial. But unable to do any-
thing, 1 or the moment, only his f aith
failed. He denied his Lord.
III. A GREAT LOVE, John 21: 15-17.
The true disciple appear' again in
Peter's reconciliation and forgiveness.
His deep and abiding love for Jesus
prevails. His final commission from
the Lord is to be a shepl-erd of the
flock of Christ.
Echoes
Echoes of Summer reach my heart to-
day,
Like mystic music, borne from the far-
away;
Elusive strains like wind o'er waving
wheat,
Bird voices vibrant in the summer
heat,
Sweet spectral music from days .dead
and dear,
Thin, phantom strains that but the
heart can hear.
•
Faintly the echoes come, then die
away,
For Summer is a dream of yesterday;
No more she strays o'er field and hill
and plain
Where Autumn flaunts her robes of
crimson stain;
In. vain we seek for Summer's robes of
light—
She's passed beyond the range of hu-
man. sight;
And only echoes reach the heart to-
day—
Echoes of footsteps that have passed
for aye.
—Helen B. Anderson.

New Competition
Facing Railway*
Airplane Becoming Real,
Competitor of Railroad
Systems
Atlantic Oity.—A marked. increased
in train speeds with added attention
to the comfort ard convenience of
passengers' accommodation will be
the answer of the ill:roads to com-
petition of automobiles and air-
planes.
This impending development, de•
tails of which are already being plan-
ned by rail systems of this contin-
ent, along with the important part
played by Canadian and United State
transportation companies in support-
ing the social and moral structure of
the two countries, was emphasized
here recently by Sir Henry Thornton,
chairman and president of the Cana-
dian National Railwys, in his ddress
before the seventy-fifth annual dinner
of the American Association of Pas-
senger Traffic Officers.
"A new competitor is challenging
the railroads, said Sir Henry to his
international audience of traffic lead-
ers, in reference to the airpine. "We
will have to meet that by increased
speed and with the safety facilities at
our disposal. The time of land travel
between London and Paris already
compares measurably with that by
air. At the same time we are con-
fronted with the mecessity of mak-
ing travel by rail more agreeable and
comfortable by attention to proper
heating and cooling, and progress
along this line is rapidly being made.
Train Requirements
"Train travellers should have facili-
ties reasonably equivalent to those
provided by ocean liners when under-
taking a journey across the contin-
ent," declared Sir Henry.
eShower baths, moving pictures,
gymnasiums, are among the require-
ments of this sort now being supplied
by some transcontinental trains.
Dealing with the function of the
great railroad organization as a force
for law, order and social well-being.
Sir Henry pointed out that "by good
will, sympathy, recognition of eco-
nomic principles, by a desire to serve,
we, in the transportation industry,
are making notable contributions te
our respective countries. By com-
pliance with the rules of our own
groups, we encourage obedience to
the laws of our countries."
