Drop rice by spoonfuls onto a large hot platter, pour over sauce and serve. Vegetable soups add savouriness to stews and casserole dishes. The vege- tables should be strained out and added just long enough before serving to heat thoroughly. Otherwise the vegetables will be over -cooked and un- attractive. Peas, Beans, Lentils Pantee-Brassiere Slip By HELEN WILLIAMS. illustrated ,Dressmaking Lesson Fur- nish,ed With Every Pattern One of the best bargains the home- maker can buy is found in the dried vegetables known as legumes—peas, beans and ,lentils. Although poor in calories and mineral salts they lend themselves to many savory dishes suitable for cold days. Because these vegetables have long been known to be rich in protein they are often called the "poor man's meat" and are regarded as meat sub- stitutes. However, with the realiza- tion that a great difference exists in the nutritive value of proteins from different sources, legumes nowadays are not considered an adequate subti- tute for meat unless they are served with such protein foods as milk and eggs. The protein found in dried. beans, peas and lentils is known as an "incomplete" protein which is lacking in those substances necessary for growth and health. Minerals in Legumes Left -Over S'oup Do you regard a cup of left -over soup with some resentment as just so much waste? Don't, because it,ein be made to serve many culinary pur- poses. Soups always are highly sea- soned and are a decided help in Chang- ing flavors, combining with other ma- terials in sauces, salads and meat dishes and in extending and utilizing other left -overs in a savoury fashion. Canned soups, too, lend themselves to many excellent dishes and -simplify their making to a marked degree. For instance, canned tomatoes must be simmered until reduced, seasoned and strained before they canbe used in a sauce, while the soup is ready for in- stant use. Dishes made with rice, macaroni, spaghetti, kidney and navy beans gain [ouch by the addition of tomato soup or clear soup such as bouillon. Meat gravies and many salads are given a pleasing richness of flavor by. the addition of bouillon. Consomme improves many a cream sauce and jellied salad., Cream soups may be made into sat- isfactory sauces for vegetables of con- trasting flavor. Tomato cheese toast is a good• lun- cheon dish that uses tomato soup to advantage. Tomato Cheese Toast Two cups cream cheese, 1 cup milk, 1 cup tomato soup, 8 triangles of toast. Put about 1 teaspoon butter in a smooth sauce pan, add cheese and melt over a low fire, stirring constant- -1.y. Slowly add milk, stirring until blended. Stir in soup and cook, stir- ring constantly until t'lick and smooth. Season with salt and pepper and add 1/a teaspoon Worcestershire ~'sauce if liked. Pour over hot toast and Serve. '' 'Rice with tomato sauce makes a nourishing dish that is easy to 'pre- pare. Left -over meat is sugges`ted in the recipe but can be omitted if not at hand. Rice With Tomato. Sauce Two cups hot boiled or steamed 'rilice, 1 cup tomato• Soup, 1 tablespoon but- ter, 1 tablespoon flour; 1/2 cup water, 1 cup minced cooked sausage: Melt butter and stir in Sour. 'When bubbling add tomato soup. Rinse out Can with water and add to first mix - These qualities • are mentioned not with the intention of discouraging the use of legumes, but to give mothers a clearer understanding of the actual value of these foods in the diet. Quite aside from their protein con- tent, legumes furnish iron and phos- phorus in worth -while quantities. Both these mineral constituents are of great importance for body growth and re- pair. Peas and beans also contain much starch and care must be taken in plan- ning meals that other foods rich in starch are not included. Since legumes are mild in flavor they are more appetizing if combined with highly flavored foods and made savory with careful seasoning. Long low cooking is imperative to soften the tough fiber and make them palatable. When served to small children or old people they should be rubbed, through •a sieve to remove the coarse outer cover -digestive apparat- uses. Baked Lima Beans Two cups dried lima beans, 1 small onion, 1 sweet green pepper (option- al), 4 slices bacon, 2 cups canned to- matoes, 2 teaspoons sugar, 14 teaspoon pepper, 4i, teaspoon salt, 1/,, teaspoon mustard. Soak beaus in water to cover over night.In the morning drain and sim- mer :n boiling salted water for 30 min- tes, letting the water cook away as much as possible. Put a layer of beans in a greased casserole, Sprinkle with finely minced pepper, onion cut in thin slices and bacon cut in tiny squares. Sear bacon in frying pan before cut- ting in squares. Continue alternating until all are used. Add salt, sugar, pepper and mustard to tomatoes and pour over beans. Cover casserole and bake in a moderate oven for four hours. Another' way to bake lima beaus is to boil them, after soaking ove. night, until tender. Drain and place in a shallow baking dish. Cover the top with strips of very thin bacon. Pour tomato jiiice seasoned with onion in at one side of the dish until the beans are barely covered. Then bake in a moderate oven until the bacon is crisp. It' will take about 40 minutes, Apple Pudding A hot pudding tastes mighty good on these cold nights. Pare and slice four apples, mix with one cup sugar and cinnamon to taste. Then make a batter of, one egg, one tablespoon sgar, one teaspoon baking, powder, two cups flour, a pinch of salt, one cup mlik. Pour over apples and bake in a moderate oven for 45 mintes.

Jesus' Testi- mony Concerning Himself.—Matt.. 11:2.6, 16-16, 26-30. Golden Text. .---Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest,—Matt. 11:28. TIME—Midsummer and (chap. 12) autumn. of A.D. 28, the second year of Christ's ministry. PLACE—Galilee. PARALLEL PASSAGE — John sends to Jesus, Luke 7: 18-35. "Now when John heard in the pri- son the works of the Christ " John the Baptist, Christ's great herald. "He emit by his disciples." The journey from Moab to Galilee was long, but John's •followers were devoted to his wishes, and doubtless also desired to see for themselves the wonderful teacher. "Are. said unto him, Art thou he that cometh?" The Messiah foretold by David, Isaiah, and all the prophets the great hope of the nation for whim all their history had been seeking to prepare them. "Or look we for an- other?" That seems a strange query to coma from the forerunner of the Messiah, the man who had so readily recognized Jesus as the 'Christ, so clearly prociaimec him to be the Lamb of God. "And Jesus answered and said unto them." There is no upbraiding of John, but only the most tender under- standing in his reply. "Go and tell John the things which ye hear and see." Christ is always ready with evi- dence and proof. "The blind receive their sight." Jesus came as the Light of the world. He came to be a light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death. "And the lame walk, the lep- ers are cleansed," A miracle involv- ing the restoration of parts of the body that were rotting away or had es tirely fallen off. "And the deaf hear." A miracle even inore comfort- ing, perhaps, than the restoration of sight to the blind. "And the dead are raised up." The Gospels contain only three detailed accounts of this which seems to us the greatest wonder of all, though to Christ it was no more than waking a person from sleep. "And the poor have good tidings (the gospel) preached to them." This comes last as the climax of the list - toes. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs, grated cheese and finely chopped pars- ley. Bake in a moderate oven for twen- ty minutes', garnish with chopped pars- ley and serve with melted butter. Red cabbage, with apples is an un- usual dish wita piquant fiavor. Cut -a rod cabbage into four, trim it carefully, removing the hard stalk, wash it, then leave it to soak in cold water with a little vinegar added for three-quarters of an hour. - Rinse well, then drain and cut it in- to shreds. Put into boiling salted water and boil quickly for ten min- utes, then drain. Fry an onion,. add this to the cab- bage with 1% lb. peeled and sliced apples and a little stock, then gently stew until tender, Turn into a fireproof dish, sprinkle with breadcrumbs, dot with butter, grate over a little nutmeg, then brown in a hot oven. Househ'oId Hints A good way to darken beige stock- ings is to rinse them in strong coffee while they are still wet from washing. The coffee should, of course, be well strained. Never cat fur with scissors, or it will be spoiled. Turn on the wrong side and cut with either a safety -razor blade or a very sharp knife. When sewing fur, have a small piece of cardboard between the two edges that are being joined. Keep the fur down with this as you sew, and move it along as the work proceeds. way in which it has been 'received.. "And didst revere them unto babes," Some of the apostles—John .esiaeeially —were possessed of penetrating intel- lects, yet all of them were as babes III their simple faith and trust, and so could receive Christ's revelations, "Yea, Father, for so it Was well - pleasing in thy sight" Without de- bate, it was enough for Christ that this was his Father's will; he was sure, then, that, it wesfor the best for all. "All things have been delivered unto me of my Father." The great Lord of heaven and :earth gave all things into the hands of Jesus Christ so that he might save . mankind from the peril and destruction which threatened it. "And no one knoweth the Son, save the Father; neither doth any know the Father, save the Son." The Son is the revealer of the Father. "And he to whomsoever the Son wi'lieth to re- veal." He knew the Father by in- stinct, they must be given the knowl- ed by in,strtiction, me unEo ite, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you -rest." There is no saying, even among those of Christ himself, that makes a wider appeal; for the appeal was as wide as t e human race. "Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me." The service of Christ is else- where character zed in other ways, but there is alwars inspiration in the metaphor. When Jesus said "Take my yoke upon you," he spoke of the yoke he himself wore as roan. That was the yoke of u perfect surrender to the will of God. "For I am meek and lowly in heart." Humility in the old world was a vice. It was a thing abhorred And ..accursed, utterly, un- worthy of the gentleman, but Chris- tendom has given it the primacy of virtue. "And ye shall find rest unto your souls." "For ray yoke is easy, and my bur- den is light.' No life is easy that is not u zder some firm control. All wan- ton, passionate, undirected or mis- directed lives are miserable, tasteless, burdensome. "And blessed is he, whosoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in nee." Who is repelled by nothing in me, as Moffatt translates it. "But whereunto shall I liken this generation?" by this generation (Luke '7: 29, 30) Christ meant not the com- mon people, who heard him gladly, but the scribes and Pharisees. "It is like unto children sitting in the market- places." The open squares of the towns, not too crowded for children's sports. "Who call unto their fellows." •"And say, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not mourn." The children played, first, at a wedding; and then, at a funeral. Jesus marked the same sort of fickle, imitative tendencies in their treatment of himself and John the Baptist. They were captious and careless. "For John call.; neither eating nor drinking. John lived on locusts and wild honey, wilderness fare. He would not think of attending a feast. "And they sae, He hath a demon." The reli- gion of the Baptist had been too hard for the Jews because of its stern mor- ality, "The Soni of man carie eating aria drinking." He was no weird prophet coming forth from the wilderness in hermit's garb, but a homely man, affable, approachable, sociable in his manner of life, kindly with his kind. "And they say, Behold, a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners !" The religious leaders of the Jews were no better pleased with Christ's joyousness than with John's sternness. "And wisdom is justified by her works." Wisdom shows that she iswisdom by results. The success of Christianity has proved Jesus right and his critics wrong, as he knew it -would. "At that season." In Luke 10: 21, 22 the following words are uttered to the Seventy when they returned from a successful evangelistic tour. They are appropriate in both places. "Jesus answered and said." He answered here the question which doubtless arose in the hearts of his listeners: "If Tyre, Sidon, and Sodom would thus have responded to the gospel, why was it not given to them?" Our Lord's reply is a burst of thanksgiving that God in his infinite mercy and wisdom had granted it to the obedient, simple dis- ciples who stood before him. "I thank the, 0 Father, Lord of heaven and earth." Note Christ's humility even as he is about to declare his unique relationship to the Father. "That thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding." Christ is think- ing of -leis work in the world, and the British Empire Unity Being Sought Toronto.—The ever-increasing need for more interchange of ideas and common discussion to bring different parts of the British Empire to a con- sciousness of what they have in com- mon, and to develop reciprocity of aims and ambitions has led to the establishment of the Institute of Edu- cation in London, Eng. This new me- dium of Empire unity was described by Prof. P. Clarke of McGill Univer- sity in a recent address here before the Empire Club. The director of the institute is Sir Percy Munn, and Lord Eustace Percy is chairman. The final test of democracy will be the British Commonwealth, the speak- er declared. His eight -point example of unity included: government by con- sent, autonomous within the system; democratic conduct in industry and finance; political freedom, without dis- crimination on the ground of race, re- Iigion or color; security for minorit- ies; universal education and freedom of opportunity; the ideal of society where dissimilar modes of life may be followed; and the supreme rule of law. • Housekeeper Has Been Seventy Years Entered Service of Third Lord Radstock at Age of Fifteen Pox 70 years without a break Miss Elizabeth Vincent, who belongs to Purbeck, Dorset, England, and is now 85, has been in the service of 'one family. She entered the employment of the third Lord Radstock as an under maid before she was 15. Later she was Lady Radstook's per- sonal maid, then housekeeper, and now she is housekeeper .to the Hon. Mrs, .Edwyn Bevan, of Wray Lane House, Reigate, Surrey, one of Lord Rad- stock's adstock's daughters, whom she nursed as a child. "Miss Vincent is a most remarkable wonpan," Mi ,Arran said. "In spite of her age she is still extremely active and she keeps the whole of my house accounts. She is really a marvellous, accountant. • ARMADA SURVIVORS. "Her length of service is surely a record, and I hope some of the mod ern .servants will read about her and take her as an example. "All her family, who are well known in the Purbeck area, have reached good positions. "They have been there for genera- tions, and are said to be descended from survivors of the Spanish Arm=- ada. "When she first entered my fettle ex's service, she was obviously a girl of unusual abilities, and she had plenty of opporunities later to put her talent to good use. "She has had a most interesting life. She travelled all over Europa with my mother in the 'seventies, She was an St. Petersburg during the Russo-Japanese War, when I was a child. RUSSIANS' OFFER. "Miss Vincent was a wonderful nurse and before she left Russia had offers of big salaries to stay on there Employment Gains In Major Nations Geneva.—Encouraging news of more employment in major industrial coun- tries is reflected in statistics for the last months of 1933 published here by the International Labor Office. In Great Britain the index figure of employment for December showed an increase of 6 per cent. over the same month of 1932. Figures for the United States for October, 1932, show the in- dex figure 59.6, and for October, 1933, 73.5. Canada, Japan and Italy also showed perceptible rises in employ- ment figures- There has been a diminu- tion of recorded unemployment in 19 countries. British Lifeboats Rescue 398 in '33 London. — An almost record fine summer made little difference to the good work achieved by British life- boats in 1933. The number of people rescued by these vessels, motor and rowing, stationed round 'the coasts of Great Britain numbered 398, the largest number of five years. In dddition to lives rescued, 45 boats and ships were saved or helped to safety. Since the founding of the Royal National Life- boat in Institution in 1824 the rescues average out at over 11 per week for 110 years.
