DISHES Cheese is not a seasonal food, but the high percentage of fat which it contains makes it a particularly valuable food to use during the cold weather when. the body requires ex- tra heat. It's protein content should not be overlooked, for cheese is one of a limited number of economical foods which provides the body with the necessary tissue -building mater- ial. During the coming months the supper problem may be solved by preparing such nourishing, appetiz- ing cheese dishes as: Escalloped Potatoes with Cheese Wash, pare and sliver very thin- ly, medium sized potatoes. Butter a baking dish and place a • layer of potatoes in bottom. Season with salt and pepper and dredge with flour. Cover with grated cheese. Repeat until dish is full. Pour in sufficient hot milk to reach top layer of potatoes. Bake in a moderate oven until potatoes are cooked (about one hour). Cover during first part of the baking. family is sure this filling.

Season -with salt and pepper and moisten with salad dressing. Place by spoonfuls on lettuce leaves and serve cold. Chopped celery, finely minced onion or pimento in small pieces may be added and give variety to the salad. to enjoy pies with FRUIT CAKES And if you haven't started that all-important item—the Christmas cake—here is a good ,line-up to re- fresh your memory of the necessary ingredients. % cup butter. 1 cup sugar. 1 cup orange juice. 3 cups sifted flour. 4 teaspoons baking powder. 1/ teaspoon salt, % cup seedless raisins. 1e cup candied orange peel. 14 cup candied lemon peel. 1/2 cup candied cherries. % cup chopped nuts.

Add remaining cup of flour with finely - chopped fruits and nuts. Fold in stiffly -beaten egg whites. Bake in loaf pan in a moderate oven (325 degrees) for one hour. KINKS Curtains Stay Clean Longer If you have trouble in keeping freshly laundered curtains from be- coming soiled by blowing out the window, take a heavy thread and fasten the ends with thumb tacks to the side of the window casing about 'six inches from the window sill. This prevents the curtains -from blowing out and is scarcely observable. With the Food Chopper Fasten a paper bag over the end of the food t 1 nipper with an elastic band, when grinding stale bread for breadcriunvbs, and there will be no cleaning up process afterward. New Use for Muffin Pan For tacks, screws, nails and such, use a set of muffin pans to keep them in. Have a tinner solder a handle across the pan, and it will be found very convenient to carry about and one can see at once just what is needed. If added to this is a set of tools that are found put up in a hollow handle, a hammer and small saw, one can repair many things about the house. When Diners. Are Late To keep dinners hot, without hav- ing them dry out, place food on plat- ters and vegetable dishes on which they are to be served, and put in the oven. Leave the oven turned on full and leave the door wide open. AN ENGLISH RECIPE Two or three kidneq,s two rashers of bacon, pepper, salt and mustard, two or three large potatoes. Split each kidney in half, rub with mustard, pepper and salt. Cut the potatoes in half and scoop out a little from the centre—large enough to take a half -kidney. Place the kidneys into the potatoes with the cut side downwards, cut the rashers in half, sprinkle with a little pepper, and place on top of each half -potato. Place two half -potatoes together and tie with a piece of string. Bake in oven for one hour or until potatoes are cooked. To attain the best re- sults, choose very large potatoes. LEMON MINCEMEAT And here we have a recipe that results in a delicious flavor. The Sunday School Lesson LESSON XI—December 16 THE CHRISTIAN AND THE LORD'S SUPPER. -1 Corinthians 11 : 23-34. GOLDEN TEXT—"For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye proc;aim the Lord's death till he come. -1 Corinthians 11 : 26. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time—Paul wrote his first letter to the church in Corinth during his third missionary journey, A.D. 53.- 56, Place—The letter was written in Ephesus, where Paul was making a long stay of nearly three years. Earl Of Birkenhead And His Fiancee 1 , �'"• 6'i` N?wlr4,.•:''i�3li5FY�::'.v r+ l:�r� 4 .,Y". The Earl of Birkenhead photographed with his fiancee„ the Hon. Sheila Berry, after the an- nouncement of their engagement in London. Lord Birkenhead, who is 26, is the only son of the late Earl of Birkenhead and of the Countess of Birkenh cad. He succeeded to the title on the death of his father in 1930. Miss Berry is the second daughter of Lord and Lady Carrose. She is 21. "For I received of the Lord." We must remember ever that the Lord himself instituted the communion feast, and it is not a man-made or- dinance. We go to it at' the invi- tation of the Son of God. "That which also I delivered unto you." What Christ impresses on our minds we are to pass on to other minds. "That the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was betrayed took bread." The writer might have set down the same night in which he washed the dis- ciples' isciples' feet, with the fine suggestion of a moral and spiritual cleansing before men should eat and drink at the table. "And when he had given thanks.' Our Lord was in the habit of giving thanks before every meal, in gratitude to his Father who had provided the food. "He break it." "And said." He knew that, even after all his pro- phecies of his coming crucifixion, his disciples would not enter into the meaning of the rite unless he un- folded it to them plainly. "This is my body, which is (broken, margin) for you. "This do in remembrance of me." This do means, Take this. bread and eat it, as more clearly in Matt. 26 26; Luke 22 : 19; Take,• eat. "In like manner also the cup, after supper." This implies that the bread was taken as part of the passover feast, ais1 the wine after it. "Say- ing, This cup is the new covenant in my blood." The Old Covenant or: Old Testament is the covenant the Lord made with Abraham and his people, sealed with sacrifices. The covenant idea runs all through the Old Testament. The New Covenant between God and man was also seal- ed with sacrifieal blood, the blood of the Lamb of God, not needing re- newal, like the Old Covenant, for the sacrifice was made for us once for all on Calvary. "This do, as often as ye drink it, in remembrance of me." In His in- finite tenderness and foresight Christ provided a universal and omnipresent reminder of himself. "For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye proclaim the Lord's death till he come." The Lord's supper is a witnessing festival, and evangelizing feast. It makes a pro- clamation. It tells the story of the cross. "Wherefore whosoever shall eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner." Not merely, say Estius, with a mind dis- tracted by worldly thoughts, though that is not to be commended, but in irreverent spirit, in a frame of mind unsuitable to so solemn an act; without faith in, or a thankful re- membrance of, the great mystery therein commemorated. "Shall. be guily of the body and the blood of the Lord." They are chargeable with insulting the memorials of Christ's death and so virtually the sacrificial death itself; on the sane principle that he who insults his country's flag insults his country and is a traitorl and sacrifice of Jesus Christ, our "But let a man prove himself." Lord: In the Lord's supper thus we "Examine himself in the King James confess our faith. version. The Lord's table is not to be approached heedlessly and thoughtlessly, but after careful self - correction. "And so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup" Let him take heed of the meaning and purpose of the supper, and so, — not merely and then, but so, — in that manner, in Christ's own way. "For he that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he discern not the body." That is, if a roan does not partake of the Lord's supper as a sacred memorial of Christ's body sacrificed for his sin, he is taking into him- self, at is were eating and drinking, his own condemnation. He is feast- ing on his own punishment. "For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep (the sleep of death). We are not always to connect sickness with sin. Sickness is often due to inherit- ed weakness and often to accident or contagion. But there is no doubt that God often does punish sin with weakness, sickness, and death—pro- bably far more frequently than any amined ourselves carefully and so avoided our sins), we should not be judged." The penalty need not fall upon us, because the sin need not be committed. God never punishes willingly. ' 'But when' we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world." If the Corinthians were punished by the Lord, it was for their good. Their chastening was to free them from worldly entanglements, that they might riot be joined with 'he world in its condemnation. "Wherefore, my brethren, when ye conn together to eat, wait one for another." Some of the Corinthians, in their greed, could not wait for the arrival of the other church members, one realizes. "But if we discerned ourselves (ex - but must fall to on the sacrificial feast without them—so low were their standards in those pioneer days. . "If any man is hungry, let him eat at home; that your coming to- gether be not unto judgment" Eat- ing at home before the communion service would prevent the display of gluttony and greed which the apostle so justly condemned. "And the rest will I set in order whensoever I come." Paul was soon to go from Ephesus through Macedonia back to Corinth. The abuses in the adminis- tration of the Lord's supper were reformed in two ways. The love - feasts preceding the sacrament were gradually abandoned, and the time for celebrating the Lord's supper was changed from evening to morn- ing. The Lord's supper is a great sym- bol. It sets before us the incarnation Should Mothers Fight Child's Battles the smaller boys s wretched and now 1t is evidently my son's turn. Re- cently he forced Ronnie to kneel down in the playground and before a jeering ring of others, recite the Lord's Prayer! I only heard of this by accident from my. younger son, who made me promise not to say anything, but I am both indignant; and worried. I feel like going out and talking to this bully myself next time he passes (he lives quite near) nor complaining to his mother. "Ronnie is quite changed and looks thin and afraid. I know ,my husband .would say that one should ignore all this, and that anyhow, it would 'all come out in the wash: And my boy would hate it if I went to school and made a fuss... ." WHEN FUSS IS NECESSARY But it seems to us that a fuss is necessary here. Bullying where it existed used to be tacitly ignored by the scholastic powers. Indeed many teachers re- garded it almost as part of a curri- culum which taught the youngsters that to "go through it" without squealing was all part of the game. But not now. School is recognised as the train- ing ground par excellence for after life. Here things begin to take on relative importances and values. And the whole scheme and system of character -forming this implies is up- set if a strong, cruel and thoughtless boy is allowed to tyrannise over the younger and smaller fry. Our correspondent will make a mistake, however, if she angrily tackles the bully herself or speaks to his mother who will, naturally, defend her son. The matter is one for the school to deal with, and one day, without saying anything to her children, she should go quietly to the Principal and lay before him this in- formation. Not because the coni -i plaint specifically concerns her own child, but because he should know . about it, as an item of importance in the life of the school. For the modern school principal not tolerant of ragging. Versed in psychology, he knows the dire effects, of bullying on tender minds, and the complexes of fear and inferiority' thus set up. He knows that one overbearing and cruel boy can do untold harm in a school, not only among his wretched little victims, but also in spreading the habit of cruelty. Generally Speaking "No" But Some Cases Are Ex- ceptional and Need Special Handling Should mothers fight their children's battles? To all mothers, this question looms up, colors the earth, the air, the sky, at one time or another during their children's development. There is the Big Bully at `school; and there is little John.... "Oh, leave them alone," cries father when she gets all worked up about little John. "He will have to, go through it sooner or later; and the less parents interfere the better a boy gets on at school. Why, when I was a youngster—" But mother interrupts impatiently. For her child is always so much more liable to hurt than his father. "John is sensitive," she says. "He came home today, his nose pouring with blood. It was that horrid boy again. You know Robert, that aloof attitude of yours can be carried too far." NOT INDIFFERENT But it isn't that the father is in- different. He loves his small son, his little daughter, with passionate tenderness. If he could he would divert all pain, all harm from thein. It makes him, who should be their strong protector, their God, feel futile when they suffer. If they are ill the another can dash about im- portantly, and do things, thrust a thermometer into their mouths, get hot water bottles, give a dose, stick on a poultice; while he just stands about, impotent, wrung by anguish. When he sees his boys are having a hard time, being "put upon" by others, having their little noses punched, their heads sat upon, he would like to dash out and deal chastisement where chastisement is due. But he holds his arm. Sym- pathy, he feels, is also out of place. The youngsters must learn to figle their own battles. A MOTHER'S PLAINT Whereas the mothers. . . . But listen to what one mother says about it. "I want you to tell me just what I ought to do," she says. "My hus- band's business takes hien away a great deal, so the responsibility of bringing up the family devolves upon me. I have a little daughter of three and two boys, aged seven and nine. They have gone to a new school and at first were very happy, but now I find that the elder boy is constantly being set upon by an- other, the bully of the school. "This boy makes the lives of all MU 11 AND 1i✓1+'�-- TURK 1514 BATH 0 LfDIES' DAY U; 00000o000O. STEPiM 1200M O.k.,MISS, YOU'RE 8 XT- LIZA, HELP 'THE LADY UNDRESS AND CKECK TIE JEWEL -RV! THIS WAY, LADY fy ,,,/✓N (ylX,LizA, NIX: -I AitqT NO WOMAN! - SEE! She need not worry that her boy will suffer as the result of her visit. The principal, if he is wise, will not have the two boys hailed in front of him to face the mother, thus spread- ing the news in the school that the smaller boy had "told" and there- fore was a "muff." He will watch, secure evidence, and take measures' to deal with the bully, and see that the tendency to cruelty is wiped out., Of course, in the larger issues, her husband is right. Things that are regarded as of great importance at the time, do "come out in the wash." And the young ones must learn to stand ep for themselves. If they come crying every time anything happens and expect mother to go out and fight their battles for them, her hands will be full. GAINING SELF-RELIANCE And they will never learn self re- liance and courage. Sometimes it is necessary for a mother, however much she loathes it, to stand by and let two combatants, of whom her son is one, fight it out. If they are evenly matched, her interference can do no good. But, of course, fighting is a fool's game; and children must be edu- cated into thinking of better ways. The only thing a mother can do is to give her boys and girls a ground- work of character which, because it will enable then to see things straightly and to deal fairly with others, will sustain them through troublous times. Gaiety and light-heartedness arc grand bulwarks against the pett3 storms of life. When the children cone in with a long tale of woe, in- stead of encouraging them to self- pity they night be taught to laugh at things. To turn the tragic inci- dent into a farce, even when one is the centre of it, is an art that cane not be too early learnt; and it car- ries one a long way. 13 By BUS) '- iSHEiq 'r GIRL oFiHEGAY NINETIEa'=- GooD NEWSREEL MATERIAL, JEFF, GOOD NC.'WS �',/��w-.G�Ei+I.
