' aaaa era-, aa -C Strawberries Are "In" ri By MA M, Morgan Do you remember the old-flishioned strawberry jam that was given to is no ehildren? Something so dark - 'colored, so rich and sweet that there was hardly any real strawberry flavor left—and a little of that old- fashioned jam went a long way—or else one got a stomach ache. That strawberry jam was made by such long -boiling methods that it 'oat much of its flavor as it depended up- on the sugar to make it thick. But now strawberry jam may be a thing of beauty both in looks and in taste — that gorgeous .fresh strawberry flavor is retained because of bottled fruit pectin which calls for such short boiling that even the lovely color and shape of the berries can be retained. And as for strawberry jelly—our grandmothers would have said straw- berry jelly was an impossibility or at least a miracle, as strawberry juice couldn't be made to "jell". Wouldn't she be astonished to see and taste the strawberry jelly the modern house- wife can make! It is one the high lights of the jam cupboard, and how good it is all year with hot biscuits or with soft cream cheese on toast. Did you ever taste strawberry jam or jelly with Devonshire or clotted cream? That is a last course that will give any hostess a reputation for smart desserts. Strawberry Jelly 4 cups (2 lbs.) juice, 71/4 cups(31/4 lbs.) sugar, 1 bottle fruit pectin, Use only fully ripened berries. Crush thoroughly and drip through jelly bag. Do not drip overnight as 'uncooked juice ferments quickly. Measure juice and sugar into large saucepan, stir, and bring to a boil. At once add pectin, stirring constant- ly, and then bring again to a full rolling boil and boil hard 1/4 minute. Remove from fire, let stand 1 min- ute, skim, pour quickly. Cover hot jelly with film of hot paraffin; when jelly is cold, cover with 1/4 inch of bot paraffin. Roll glass to spread paraf- fin on sides. Requires about 3 quarts berries. Makes about 11 eight -ounce glasses. A few weeks later along come the raspberries and this recipe may again be used for raspberry jelly. Asparagus Dishes Asparague Ring (with Chicken Salad) ' is.

The Good Old ays Looking over some old papers we noticed the report of a wedding 36 years ago, and at that time it was customary to publish a list of the pre- sents given to the bride, observes the Peterborough Examiner. In the list were two pickle dishes and a kruet stand. People do not give kruet stands today and it is not likely .the pickle dish is as popular as it ,was some years ago. The pickle dish always stood up straight. There was a glass container on a. silver base and a handle running up over the top, and at the side was a place for a pair of tongs or pincers with a claw -Mee arrangement at the end, The glass container was generally green or pink. The pickle dish never got worn out from being used too much. It gener- ally stood on the sideboard and it was much handier to put the pickles and mpectx .thcasa. •fork. But the kruet dish stand did come in for more use. It was like an ele- vated cake plate flat on top with places for a salt and pepper dish and for the vinegar, and generally room for another to hold mustard or any such thing. When it got put in the centre of th e table it looked as though the table were partly set already. But it generally needed a fair amount of shining to keep it from tarnish- ing and it made people at the far end of the table do a lot of reaching. Both the kruet stand and the pickle dish had quite a run in the season of weddings. We dare say a ' good many homes could produce the kruet stand from the top shelf today. They never came in handy for anything else. Not like a spoon holder. The spoon holder could be used for a long time and as there were always spoons to be held the holder was Useful. Then after a spell when the children came the spoon holder was 'often a good thing to use when came to biting through the first teeth. The child could not swallow the thing nor could it possibly get the spoon holder down its throat to produce choking, and if it fell on the floor it would not break. Probably that's why the spoon holder outlived the kruet stand and the pickle dish "If you go on being reactionery long enough you will always find that you have become revolutionary,"—G. K. Chesterton. 3 W.F. Stars Meet Star% Stars of the motion pictures recently presented awards .to the stars of the aquatic world at swim- ming meet held in Los Angeles, Cal.

Luke 24 49.) The pre-eminent task of these apostles was to witness to the facts concerning the Lord Jesus • Christ, • tatat, through this witnessing, men might be convicted of sin and brought to a recognition. of Christ as their thiarious. "When the. Holy Spirit is come .upon. you." The book of Acts has frequently been called "the Acts of the Holy Spirit." "And ye shall be my 'witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all .judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttarmost parts of the earth." Here is au actual outline of the book of Acts: Jerusalem is the center of the events recorded in 1:1 to 8:3; Ju. daea •and Samaria witness the events recorded from 8:4 to 11 : 18; while the events occurring in the rest of'the book of Acts may badescribed as tak- ing Place in "the uttermost part of the earth." ".And when lie had said these things as they were loeking, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight" This is the last time the disciples were to see the Lord Jesus on earth, a "They were all together in one Place."

PIL N IA .1, 4,4 .41 the disciples were previously assemb- led (see 1:13). a • "And suddenly there came filam heaven a sound as of' the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all • the house where they were sitting." This sound came from heaven, which may refer both to the sensible impression of a sound descending' from above and to its real supernatural origin as caused by God himself. , •"And there appeared unto them the tonngues parting, asunder, like as of fire." Fire like wind was symbolic of the divine presence. (Ex. 3:2), and of the Spirit who purifies and sanctifies (Ezek. 1:13; Mal. 3:2). "And it sat upon each one of them." That is, one tonngue like as of fire sat upon each one of those assembled in this room. "And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit" Being filled .with , . the Holy Spirit is emplyhaving one's entire,nature yielded to' the sway and power of the Spirit of God: "And be- gan -to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. These disciples probably knew Hebrew, Ar- amaic, and Greek. Now there were dwelling at Jerus- alem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven." From 'at census taken in the time of Nero, we know that more than 2,700,000 Jews were gathered at the passovei feast, and still greater numbers came to Pente- .cost. "And when this sound was heard, the multitude came together, -and were confounded, because that every man heard them speaking in his own language. 7. And they were all amaz- ed and marvelled, saying, Behold; are not all these that speak Galileans? 8. And how hear ye, every man in our own language wherein we were born?" It is interesting to notice that the list of countries mentioned includes all the lands to which the Israelites had been banished and where they had been. settled for centuries, ' as well as those countries to which they had come voluntarily. "Parthians." Parthia, mentioned here only in the New Testament, is placed first, not only because of the vast extent of its empire from India to the Tigris, but because it then was the only power which had tried issues with Rome and had not been defeat- ed. "And Medes." Included in the great Parthian Empire,' with their territory east of the Tigris, and to the north of Elam. A map should be consulted for ,these various countries, "And Elamites," Elam lay north or . „.. the Persian QUA and south of Mediaj 'And the alwellers in MeSePotaMia."1* • The great Country between the Tigria• and the 'Euphrates rivers, where the kingdoms of Assyria: and Babylonia' once held sway. "in Judaea" Thie appearance of different words indicat- ing the territory in the southern part: of Palestine in which Jerusalem was located is difficult to explain, but found In the oldest manuscripts, "Acid. Cappadocia, in Poatus and A.sia. • Pterygia and Pamphylia," All these were provinces in the ,tei'ritory that was known as Asia Minor, The word Asia does not mean the vast contin- ent that we „call by that name today but the Roman 'prOvince of Asia, ,on the western shore of Asia Minor, with Ephesus for its capital. "In Egypt and • the parts of I.,ibys around CYrelie.", These areas were located In northern Africa. "And' sojourners from 'Rome, both Jews and proselytes." Pompey the Great had carried largo numbers of Jews ,as slaves to Rome ;in 63 13.C.,, and descendante became freedmen; (Acts 0:6) and had many synagogues in Rome. "Cretans," Inhabitants of the large, Island of Crete in the Mediterraneani Sea. (See Acts 27:7; Titus 1:5, 12).' "And Arabians." Arabia, of course, is that huge area south and southeast of Palestine between the Red Sea and the Persian Gult. "We hear them speaking in our tongues the mighty works of God." Of course amazement and wonder fell .upon thesapeople, as, for the fias( time in their lives, they heard Galli, eans in Jerusalem speaking in their various native tongues. "This Jesus did God raise up, where of we all are witnesses." The fact' that God raised Christ up is a proof that God was satisfied with Christ. "Being therefore by the right hand. of God. exalted, and having received' of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he hath poured forth this, that ye see and hear." The apostle Peter now comes back to the subject with' which he opened his sermon, the out- pouring of the Holy Spirit. "For David ascended not into the', heavens, but he saith himself, Ttte Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand." "Till I make thine' enemies the footstool of thy feet." Having 'shown the resurrection of the Christ to be the subject of an ancient prophecy, he now proves the same of' his exaltation. Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made' him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified." The conclusion of Peter's sermon. is the inevitable termination of the argument he has been building up, provided all of his previous statements arebased on fact as they are. .."Now when they heard this, they were pricked. in their heart." ' The Holy Spirit had used. the message of, Peter as a two-edged sword piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit. "And said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethern, what shalt we. do?" Herein is the difference between' the Word of God and other so-called. sacred books, and especially philoso- phical works. They appeal to the mind, whereas*the Word of God goes further and demands action. "And Peter said unto them, Repent. ye." The apostles began, as the Bap -t tist began (Matt. 8:2) as the Christ himself began (Matt, 4:17; Mark 1:' 14), with the exhortation to repent- ance to a change of heart and life, not to a mere regret for the past. "And be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ." First the inward change, and then submission to the external rite. Baptism is a sign and a. symbol of the washing away of our' sin's "Unto the remission of your sins." This is the word used by the Lord Jesus in referring to the power of his blood to wash away our sins. "And ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." Luke refers to the gift of the Holy Spirit four times in this book, here and in 8:20; 10:45; 1117; it le spoken of by no other evangelist.
