World ROAST BEEF Roast beef may seem humdrum and prosiao but if you serve it with indi- vidual Yorkshire puddings of delicate crispness and appetizing brownness, you have something else again to please the palate of both family and guest, YOlUKSNTRE PUDDING Drippings from roast beef, 1 egg, 1-2 cup milk, 1-2 cup flour, 1-4 tea- spoon baking powder, 1-4 teaspoon salt. Use the fat from the roast beef to grease custard cups, By the time the puddings need to go into the oven the roast will be almost done and there will be plenty of fat in the roaster. Heat the cups in a hot oven while mixing the batter. Mix and sift flour, salt and baking powder. Put egg, milk, and dry ingredients in mixing bowl and heat with a rotary egg- beater for five minutes. Pour into prepared hot cups, making the batter about 1-2 inch deep in each cup and bake in a very hot oven (450 degrees F.) for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 400 degrees F. and bake ten minutes. Turn off the heat and finish baking.` It will take five or ten minutes. When puddings are well puffed baste once or twice with drippings from the roast. Serve in a border on the plat- ter around the roast of beef. An easy way to handle the custard cups in the oven and for basting is to put the cups in a large shallow pan. BARBECUED BEEF BY Mair M.

Screens for, Decoration baking A delicious way to cook the top of the round of beef is to marinate 'it thoroughly in a hot barbecue sauce and then baste it frequently during the roasting with this same' sauce. The finished roast is tender and fla- vorsome with a distinctive savoriness that whets the appetite. Here is the recipe for the sauce. The quantities given are enough for five to seven pounds of meat. One-half cup butter, 2 tablespoons vinegar, 1-2 teaspoon dry mustard, 1 taespoon sugar, 1-2 teaspoon salf, few grains cayenne pepper, 1-4 teaspoon chili powder, 1-2 teaspoon Worcester- shire sauce, 1-4 teaspoon tabasco sauce, 1-2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon grated onion, 1-4 clove garlic (bruised), 2 cups water. Put all the ingredients into a sauce pan, bring to the boiling point and simmer 20 minutes. Dip the roast in this mixture, turning it to be sure every bit of the surface is coated. Put the' roast into a hot' oven for 20 minutes, then reduce heat and baste with sauce. Baste every 15 minutes for the first hour and finish the roast - in a moderately hot oven, basting once or twice.

Slice the num- ber of pieces you desire and then cut them free from the rind, keeping close to it and avoid waste. When you are having a number of guests to a meal and require space, in the kitchen to spread out dishes for the various courses, don't forget the card table. It will hold .a great deal and come in handy for extra space. It is nice to remove the pulp of the grapefruit the evening before using and place in the refrigerator over night. Sugar it lightly before putting away. Serve in sherbet glasses the next morning for breakfast. This is very attractive for the house guest and is also economical, as one large grapefruit will serve three orfour persons.

Sunday School Lesson Care of Velvet • To press the seams of a velvet dress place a hot iron up -ended on a table with a damp cloth over it. Open the seam of the velvet with the fingers, and carry it back and for- wards over the steaming cloth, sett r thyself." This commandment, which is elsewhere given as Christ's sum- mary of the second table of the law, is from Lev. 19 : 18. "The young man saith unto him, All these things have I observed." From my youth up, he adds in Mark and Luke. But Christ would probe far deeper. 'What lads I yet?" Out of the vague feeling of his own personal us - satisfactoriness, in spite of his moral achievement, he blurts out this ques- tion. "Jesus said unto him, If thou wouldest be perfect." Christ pointed out the only way in which the young man could fill out the lack which he throne of his glory." The regenera- felt, making himself whole and com- tion is the new birth of the world, plate in his character. "Go sell that which thou hast, and" give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure, in heaven; and come, follow me." We are to note carefully (1) that this command was for the young ruler, who was rich (verse 22) and whose riches were a snare to him; it is not for any one whose worldly goods are not a snare to his soul; (2) that this command is accompanied by ally left all to follow Christ. "What then shall we have?" We must not be too hard on Peter, The disciples at this time were very ma- terial in their ideals. And Jesus said unto them." To all the disciples and not to Peter a- lone. "Verily I say unto you." Our Lord does not chide them for their worldly spirit, but gives them with great emphasis the comforting hope which he knows the will sorely need in the coming years of trial. "That ye who have followed me," Not in- cluding Judas, who was following him only outwardly. "In the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the ,a great promise, that of eternal trea- sure, it was only a bidding to trans- fer his "great possessions" to a land where he should never lose them, and (8) that this command is accompan- ied be a great privilege, that of fol- lowing Jesus. "But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sorrowful; for he was one that had great possessions Alas! the, great possessions had him! "And Jesus said unto his disciples, .Verily I say unto you" Another of `Christ's emphases, rendered most suitable this time. "It is hard for a rich man to enter into the kindom of heaven." Wealth brings with it numberless tempta- tations—to undue ease and luxury, to many vices, to earthly ambition, to empty vanity, to idleness or to ex- cessive toil—which a man of modest means is spared. "And again I say unto you." Like all true teachers, our Lord knew the value and necessity of repetition. It is easier for a camel to go ,hrough a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kindom of God." The "needle's eye" is often supposed to be the small gate for foot passengers of a large city gate. "And when the disciples heard it, they were astonished exceedingly." Imperfect description of their blank amazement. "Saying, who then can be saved?" The reign of the Messiah had been pictured by the prophets and rightly, as a time of great and universal pros- perity; but how could that be 'if all but the poor were to be excluded? "And Jesus looking upon them" His intent gaze saw their amazement "Said to them, With men this is im- possible; but with God all things are possible." All things, even this most difficult of all things, to take out of human hearts the love of this world, and its perishable contents and idle pursuits. "Then answered Peter and said un - ix him." He "answered" Christ's stat meet that it is very hard for the rich to be saved. "Lo, we have left all, and followed thee." They had abandoned their work and some of them had probably liter - Lesson IV.—Aprin 22. Our All for the Kingdom. -a- Matt. 19:1-30.

Matthew thus indi- cates his feeling that an important scene is coming "One came to him." He came (Mark 10 : 17) as Christ was leaving the house where he had blessed the little children. "What good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?" By "eternal life" the young man meant endless joy, endless purity and power and sa- tisfaction and peace "And he said unto him, Why askest thou me concerning that which is good?" When we ask a question of another, it is well to first ask oursel- ves why we ask it "One there is who is good. "None is good save one, even God" is the way -Mark ani Luke report Christ's utterance. "But if thous wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments." Are there not unmistakable signs round about us that we need these laws with all their roughness—that stern, hard 'not' as it was thundered out from the rocks of Sinai? "He saith unto him, Which?" 1'he 3,oung ruler, like most if not all of his class, was prepared for a discussion of debated points in theology. "And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness." Our Lord quotes from the second table of the law, re- lating to our duties toward then, be- cause those commandments are more obvious, and the young ruler could be perfectly sure that he had kept them "Honor thy father and thy mother and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as when the kingdom of heaven is fully ushered in. "Ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel" If the promise was to be of tiny use to them in :41e WAY of .ewip fort and encouragement, it mist b( expressed in terms which were false iliar to them. "And every one that, i'ath left hove ses, or brethren, or sisters, n' father or mother, or lands, for my name'l sake." That is, for Christ, name standing in Hebrew though for tilt entire personality, "Shall reoeive a gun iredfold." Is this time, Mark and Luke add, and Mark inserts bite warning, qualificeer tion, "with persecutions." Of cou264 this is not to be taken literally -.- .1 hundred fathers and mothers and wiv es and children -.-but it means whal the psalmist said when he testified that he had never seen the righteaud forsaken or his children begging bread. "And shall inherit eternal life." That is the crown of it all. "But many shall be last that are first; and first that are last." III these deep words there is message oaf hope to all who feel themselves MAI the despondent, all who think the= selvesovermatched in the warfare o! life. Farm Products Pay Preachers in Georgie' Atlanta, Ga. There is more than one way to pay a preacher's salary ist the southern rural districts, according to Dr. Louie D. Newton, Baptist minim ister of Atlanta. Dr. Newton point/ out the plan which has been in prace tice off and on for three generations in Georgia—that of each rural church member setting aside the proceedil from one acre of his land as gift td his church. The plan is working splendidly to pay preachers' salaries and church debts and enables each person to give with what he has abundantly. Crops may be donated, or money derived from the crops, or even chickens, hog or butter and milk. The donation in spirit and kind is, of course, purely voluntary. THE PAPER ON THE WALL IS REALLY VERY IMPORTANT You Make Small Rooms Look Bigger and Dark Ones Lighter by Your Choice April's the month when the house gets a chance to blossom out in new finery. And such finery this year! The new wallpapers are creations to make even a professional paper hanger gasp with joy and house- cleaning is indeed a pleasure because it gives you a chance to use some of them, writes Margaret Currie in the Montreal Star. Whatever your individual decorat- ing problems may be, there are the right wallpapers with which to meet them. If you have large, sunny rooms, look at papers with dark back- grounds. If not, then consider the lighter themes that put brightness and light into rooms that are a bit gloomy. Get generous samples and paste them, one at a time, on the wall. Stand back and try to vis- ualize how the room would look if its walls were entirely covered by that paper. Call in the rest of the family and let them help to make decisions. After all, they have to live there too. New Patterns Plaid . wallpapers are favorites right now — large plaids — the big- ger, the better. Large dots and broad stripes are next in favor. And then there are handsome patterns of classic dignity that harmonize with period furnishings. If you desire a distinctly modernistic touch, hang the striped patterns horizontally — vertically, if you dont. Patterned papers are being used on ceilings as well as walls. Though they must harmonize with each other the ceiling paper's pattern should be smaller. (Personally we shouldn't like this, but it is new. If you have a small foyer with a narrow stairway leading from it, use identical paper for the hall and stairway. It gives an illusion of greater size. • Don't try to match up the wall coverings of other rooms in your home unless, of course, the archway between two rooms' is so large that they appear to be one huge room. Plain wall papers are best for tiny rooms and dark, bright colors, such as emerald green, are most popular in this category. Floral designs— tiny buttercups, forget-me-nots, gay little rosebuds, ferns and larger flowers, maybe chrysanthemums — will please the nature -loving house- hold. If you have a penchant for things nautical, look for anchor and diminutive ship patterns. Pastel Back Grounds For a young daughter or the whim sical member of the family, there are pretty papers with pastel background, printed in bowknot designs. By the magic of new wallpaper, the bathroom may be transformed into a thing of sheer beauty. Mural wallpapers are good here. . (Inciden- tally, they're suitable for any room in the house but they are, unfortun- ately, too expensive for the average budget.) But it doesn't take very much paper for a bathroom and per- haps you can indulge yourself in this one room. There's nothing prettier than a huge picture of a lily pond on the wall over the tub. On the opposite wall, another piece of mural wallpaper might show a ]agger pond with graceful swans swimming across it. For Father's Den The walls of father's den, another small room, would be lovely covered with mural wallpaper too. There could be a hunting scene on one wall and fishing or camping themes on• the others. The homemaker owes it to himself to see that her "work place" is bright, attractive and cheerful and nothing can brighten up the kitchen like new wallpaper. There are such pretty designs to be had on washable paper. Cream with green, white with blue, pale yellow — these are only a few of the color schemes you may use to dress up your kitchen. Paint your chairs to match the design in your wallcovering, and use a little of the paint to give your food containers a new dress. Remember you usually live with your wall papers for rev. eral years so "take time out" to coa- ider your choice carefully with re- gard to your pictures, draperies, light or lack of it, furniture and rugs before you finally decide. Be sure you're right — then go ahead. MUTT ANL) i j .--• (mut; ut; I CooTTh se SEE-1NG t3N A 3)�NTIST. I co"CED'. 441NE CAVITIES. LooKe NitfEwP T I'LL Be. Rtc Xr BAcle.
