Jelly.Pouring Technique
With the short -bail method of jell
Ianaking using bottled fruit pectin, lit-
tle time is required and the results
are certain. But the jelly should al-
ways be poured, as shown, never lad-
led into glasses. Jelly formation be-
gins almost at once and quick pour-
ing keeps it clear and smooth.
Good Winter Jelly
Old Hubbard didn't do anything
about that empty cupboard but if she
were alive and smart to -day, -she'd
simply save the juice from canned
fruit and fill those cupboards with a
whole rainbow of sparkling jellies.
One of the finest winter -made jel-
lies uses up the rich, flavorful syrup
in which pineapple is canixed. And
every housewife knows the pang it
gives to discard that syrup when she
uses the pineapple slices for salads
and desserts, Some people have sug-
gested that til light syrup can be used
as a substitute far the delicious pine-
apple juice at breakfast but the lfq-
nid from canned pineapple is not just
juice, it has sugar in it — the amount
of sugar depending up on the grade
of fruit purchased. Canned fruits sold
as "Fancy" quality are packed in a
heavy syrup; those sold as 'Choice"
in a moderately heavy syrup; and the
°Standard" in a light syrup,
Any of these syrups can be used in
this simple recipe, eliminating the ex-
travagance of throwing away the li-
quid and giving a sparkling jelly of
finest flavor to be served as a relish
with ham or lamb, and as a garnish of
attractive coiner for ealads, cakes
and tie; aerts.
2 auras (1 ib.) syrup. 4 cups (1%
lbs) sugar, ee bottle fruit pectin.
Drain syrup from canned fruit. The
juice of one lemon may be added to
measured syrup, if it lacks flavour or
tartness. Measure sugar and syrup
into large saucepan. Mix and bring to
boil over hottest fire. Stir constant-
ly before and while boiling. As soya
es mixture boils. add fruit pectin,
stirring constantly, ani bring to a
full rolling boil. remove from fire,
skim, pour quickly, Paraffin and eo-

Success itt Life
The road to what is called ' suooess
in life" is such uphill and thorny go-
ing that, as an Irishman said of a dif-
ficult route, even when you ride •you
are mostly 'walking." And what is
called success in life has dearly and
doubly to be paid for; first by the
earning, and the responsibilities, Are
we equal to both? Obscurity in the
world is not failure—the chief thing
is to succeed in your own living, mak-
ing your own life truly liveable; whe-
ther or not you materially, as people
say, "succeed in life." There can be
au art, a fine art, of simple living and
homely ease, in social inconspicuous-

LESSON II — APRIL 12
JESUS TRIUMPHS OVER DEATH
•(Easter Lesson)
GOLDEN TEXT : "Because 1 live,•pe
shall live also" — John 14:19.
THE LESSON IN ITS. SETTING., --
Tinee -- Sunday,.April 9;.A:.D.
Place — The event recorded in the
verses 1-12 took place in Jerusalem,.
and iu the garden of Joseph of Arim
athaea just outside the walls of the
city. The conversation of Jesus' with
the two disciples took place on the
road from Jerusalem to Emmaus ab-
out seven miles northwest of Jerus-
alem.
"But on the first day of the week."
Literally this should read '`but on day
one of the week.' It is very signifi-
cant that the firet day of the week is
never referred to in the gospel record
until the Lord Jesus Christ rose from
the dead. "At early dawn, they rain
unto the tomb, bringing the spice that.
they had prepared." This first verse
should be read in connection with the
concludiug verses of chapter twenty-
three. The pronoun "they" refers, pri-
marily to "the women who bad gone
with him out of Galilee," though
other women now join then.
"And they found the stone rolled
away from the tomb." Matthew tells
us (28:2-4) that the stone was moved
from the mouth of the tomb by an
earthquake. The stone was not muved
to allow the Lord Jesus to come out
of the tomb, which he already had
done before the stone was rolled away
and it was rolled away to allow the
women and the, disciples to look into,
and, if they cixoe to enter into the
tomb.
"And they entered in, and found not:
the body of the Lord Jesus." We are
now face to face with the second in-
escapable question: What happened
to the body of Jesus? The fact that
the body was not there must be ad-
mitted by every student. It is inter-
' esting to note what a great Jewish
scholar, a professor of Biblical litera-
ture in the Hebrew University in Je-
-iusalem, Dr. Joseph Klausner, does
With this fact in his famous book,
"Jesus of Nazareth. He attempts to
advance the -theory that the women
and the disciples mistook the tomb
and came to the wrong place, to a
tomb wherein no body had rested.
How a great scholar can even dare
suggest such an impossible interpre-
tation is a mystery.
"And it came to pass, e hila they
were perplexed thereabout, behold,
two men stood by them in dazzling
apparel." Matthew (28:5) and John
(20-12) speak of these men as angels.
They were angelic messengers from
heaven appearing in human form (see
Gen. 1S; Josh. 5:13; I7zelc, 40:3; Dam
9:21.
"And as they were affrighted and
bowed down their faces to the earth."
(Cf. Josh. 5:14; Judges 13:20). The
women recognized these guardians of
the tomb as supernatural beings.
"They said unto them, Why seek ye
the hiving among the dead?" It is of.
course the, angels who are speaking to
the women. By such a question they
make heaven itself to confirm the ev-
idence of the empty tomb, that Jeans
Christ was living and was not among
the dead.
" He is not here, but is risen." Here
is a definite statement that Christ has
risen from the dead. It does not say
that Christ has gone to heaven, or
that: he seeks to live in another world
but that he has risen.
"Remember how 110 snake unto you
when he was yet in Galilee, 7. Saying
that the Son of man )mist be deliver-
ed up into the hands of sinful men,
and be crucified, and the third day
rise again," (Sae the references given
in the first paragraph of this lesson,
especially Luke 9:22) Quite evidently
heaven was familiar with what he
had been saying to the disci} tes, for
the angel repeated it almost exactly.
"And they remembered his words"
This point is not made by any other
of the gospel 'writers. Strange that
they should have forgotten the words
of Jesus at this particular time, the
very time when these very words
would have been so helpful to them.
This is the way many people listen to
sermons and read their Bibles.
"And returned from the tomb, and
told all these things to the eleven, and
to all the rest." The apparent contra-
dietipn in Mark 16:8 obviously means
that they "said not one word on the
subject to any one except the apostles
to whom they were expressly told to
announce it (Matt. 2S:7).
"Now they were Mary Magdalene,
and Joanna, and Mary the mother of
James, and the other women with
then told these things unto the apost-
les." Mary Magdenelen is mentioned
by all the evangelists and comes first
in each of the lists. Joanna Is men-
tioned only in the Gospel of Luke.
Professor Plummer suggests that it
was from Joanna that Luke may
have received the particular details
of this visit of the wairnen to tixe
tomb and also what he relates in 28:
8-12.
"And these words appeared in their
sight as idle talk," Literally, as non-
sense, "And they disbelieved them."
Apparently no one had understood
Christ's predictions of his rising ag-
ain. These were interpreted of his re-
turn iu glory, either with a new body
or as an incorporated being,
"But Peter arose, and ran unto the
tomb." This inspection by the boldest
of the apostles is given in greater de-
tail by St. John' (20:8-10). "And stoop-
ing and looking in, he seeth the linen
cloths by themselves." if the body of
Tesus had been stolen, either it would
have'been carried away with the linen
cloths still wrapped about it, or they
would have been left on the floor of
the sepulchre, the robbers not daring
to take time to fold them again, as
Peter discovered them when he look-
ed into the tomb. "And he departed
to his home, wondering at that which
was come to pass," The surprise, the
Wenn, the perplexed incredulity, of
the disciples admitted by all the ev-
angelists alike, add force to those ev-
idences which so absolutely convince
them of the miracle which they had
never contemplated.
