The Exeter Times, 1920-10-14, Page 7THANKSGJVI NG BASKETS
We Will Heap Them Up and
Let us make October 18, 1920, a
Teal Thanksgiving Day to those less
favored than ourselves, To, us who
are so fortunate as to be good cooks
and accustomed to supplies from our
own garden and •store houses, it may
be hard to realize what a treat a few
oft these se th n$s would be to those that
cannot or do not have them.
Our Thanksgiving offering might
well consist of a basket'.filled with
homegrown vegetables, a loaf of
home-made bread, a pan of fresh
rolls, a few glasses of jelly, a jar or
two of fruit, a box of cookies or a
fine home-made pie.
Let the children help get the basket
ready! They will love to do it and
all will feel much happier in giving
some one a happy day.
As "new" housekeepers are always
with us,• a few suggestions for that
basket follow, but Land sure most of
you need no suggestions and when
once you are in the spirit of filling
the basket you will not lack for good
things to put into it,
Wheatless Fudge' Bars— % cup
barley flour, 1/1 cup rice flour, 1/4 tea-
spoon salt, 1/2 cup chopped nuts, 1

eggs together then add the grated
bread crumbs, baking powder and salt.
Add the chopped nuts and dates then
fold in the stifflyebeaten whites of
•eggs. Bake twenty minutes in a loaf
pan in a hot oven, This makes a
good-sized loaf. Two small loaves
may be made instead of one. Slice in
half-inch slices or break up into pieces
for serving. Add whipped cream on
top and serve for dessert.
Sent; Where Most Needed
Brown Nut Bread—J: cup white
flour, 1 .cup graham flour, 1 clap 'bar-
ley flour, 2 cups sour milk, 2 tea-
spoons soda, % cup molasses, 1/4 cup:
sugar, 1/ cup raisins, 1/2 cup nuts,
1 teaspoon salt. Mix the dry ma-
terials together, Cut the raisins and
nuts and flour thoroughly. Ad,, the
sour mills to the molasses in a bowl,
then add the wet materials to the
dry, .add the nuts and raisins. Pour
into. well -greased, ,one -pound, baking
powder cans. Fill: cans two-thirds
full. Let stand to rise an hour, then
bake 45 minutes in a hot oven, This
amount makes three loaves.
Spice Calve -1-3 cup butter, 1 cup
brown sugar, 1/L cup molasses, 2 eggs,
1 cup raisins, 1/2 cup strong coffee, 1/2
cup floor, % cup barley flour, 1 tea-
spoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon soda, 1/3
teaspoon cloves, 2 teaspoon salt.
Cream the butter and sugar, add mo-
lasses then well -beaten eggs. Sift
dry materials together and add gradu-
ally to the wet mixture. Cut and flour

be made if desired by dropping a
spoonful into well -greased muffin tins.
Mince Meat -3% pounds boiled
beef, 1 pound suet, 6 pounds apples,
3% pounds raisins, 1%. pounds citron,
3% pounds currants, 1 quart cider, 2
pounds sugar, 2 cups white corn
syrup, 2 ,tablespoons . salt, 6 table-
spoons cinnamon, 2/ tablespoons
nutmeg, 1 tablespoon allspice, 1/
quart sweet pickle. Chop the ingre-
dients and mix in the order given.
Pack into clean fruit jars, seal and
let stand several days before using.
Packing in small jars is a more con-
venient way of storing than the old
way of putting in one large jar. Only
a small portion needs to be disturbed
at a time.
A jar of mince meat makes a pleas-
ing additionto the basket offering.
Another hint: Sometimes we women
find it hard, in making gifts, to select
such as shall pleaseethe recipient more
than the giver. We night like to
make a "lovely" cake for someone who
would rather have a pound of bacon
or a dozen eggs. Make the baskets
practical.

Thy y .Greatest Gift
Pause we a short day's length, O• Lord,
To offer thanks to Thee
For harvests garnered from the fields,
For gains from lake and sea,
For wealth from mines and forests far,
For blessings close at hand,
For warmth of sun and beam of star,
For all at our command:
Gifts that have reached us by Thy grace,
O Thou who art our dwelling place!
.A greater miracle than gifts
Thy love for us hath wrought:
A larger light has come .to us
Who, miserly, hath sought,
Too commonplacely after Thee,
Asking but bread and gold,
Forgetful of that inward good
By which men's minds unfold
To comprehend Thee, who did'st make
Them in Thine image fair,
To seek that image in themselves,
Enshrine and hold it there.
Through doors of sorrow we have come,
By paths of pain and tears,
By ways of sacrifice and stress,
From depths of abject fears,
To find the old truth stands unmoved:
Thou art our Sun and Shield;
Before the might of Thy right arm
The strongest foe must yield;
Thou art our Tabernacle, there
We shelter and we pray ;
Thou art the Life of all our life;
Thou, our eternal Way.
Our Feast of Thanks we humbly spread;
Thou art our Honored Guest.
Thyself -in -us, Thyself -o'er -all,
Is of Thy Gifts the best!
WHY BE THANKFUL IN 1920
Else when thou shalt 'bless with the
spirit, haw shalt he that oocupieth
the room of the unleaitned say Amen
at thy giving of thanks, seeing he
understandeth not what thou sayest?
—1. Corinthians, xiv., 16.
Thanksgiving Day takes a high
place among our national holidays.
We do well to celebrate on July 1, the
birthday of our own Dominion, to ex-
perience at Christmas the noble con-
tagion of giving, to encourage the
serious thoughts and hopes of New
Year's Day, to commemorate the birth
of Victoria the Good, but the signifi-
cance of Thanksgiving Day makes it
our most sublime national act.
It is our noblest gesture—a confes-
sion of the supremacy of God, a
thanksgiving for many obvious bless-
ings; a pledge of loyalty to divine
principles which insure the happiness
and prosperity of men and nations.
Why is it that nearly all the peoples
of the earth have in their development
arrived at one common decision—that
the first and most important words
to be taught to every child are "Thank
you"? It is because of universal ex-
perience that the thankless child is
wretched and dangerous; that the
thankful child as happy and helpful.
The distinction is true of nations. Our
country has abundant cause for grati-
tude.
For the glorious part she took in
the Great Conflict; for the steadfast
way she faces her reoonstruction
problems; for our vast resources; for
the ,song of the harvester, the hum
of the factory, the wealth of the
mines, the whirr of the saw an the
big timber; but more than these, for -
our human resources—the Canadian
men and watnen of high ideals, keen
minds, warm hearts and strong, prac-
tical hands.; these are our treasures.
For peace' at horre; for the inereas-
ing inspiration of the example of
those who :gave all for our safety and
honor; for the larger morality and
patriotism contributed by our return-
ed hien which stimulates all our •civil-
tan' life..
For our vision of duty at this hour
—to help make wax impossible
through a league of nations whose
provisions shall be effectiv'e, reason-
able lo and honorable; to iYlalrfl yrictoricus
in every part ,of our national life ,,hoed
ideals of justice, freedom and human-
ity for which civilization poured out
lits richest blood; to show ourselves .
woe trhy by an honest enlistment to ex-
tend the victory by sacrifice of lux-
uries, the cessation of extravagance,
criminal in itself and in its influence,
by simpler living and unselfish service,
by an honest and persistent effort to
solve the industrial problem through
enforcing on •capital and labor alike
decisions that are fair to all; by a
practical program for the thorough
Canadianization of the foreign -born,
their children and others. And all of
this vast undertaking inspired .by the
only power which can bring victory—
an obedient faith in God.
Count over your personal blessings,
make much of each one; perhaps they
are undervalued now. Give thanks for
every blessing with your whole heart;
only so can you enter into the heart of
the blessing and truly appreciate it.
If you are not accustomed to give
thanks at table try to begin now. Say,
"Praise God from whom all blessings
flow. Amen!" Let the chrtldren whom
you teach to say "Thank you" hear
you say it to God. Example is better
than precept.
On this Thanksgiving, Day count the
blessings, national and personal;
thank God for them with intelligence
and sincerity; add an "Amen!" with
all your heart in it. You will rise
with increased courage and strength;
life will be more beautiful; the prob-
lems of the nation will seem like
chances for patriots and you will hear
a call. Listen; C-od and the country
are calling you now. Give thanks and
answer.
Thanksgiving.
Then be it ours to -day with one accord,
To humbly offer praises to the Lord
For all His mercies; bless His name
and ne'er
Forget, ungrateful, all His kindly care.
'Tis to His bounteous hand alone we
owe
The blessings that surround us here
below,
Our peaceful homes, dear
Heaven on earth
Friendship and love, rare gems of
priceless worth.
Where much is given, as is most
justly due
Mudie, is required•of' service, teal • and

So may our warm devotion henceforth
prove

ful love.

SUNDAY SCHOOL
OCTOBER 17Th
Jesus Begins His Ministry, St. Mat-
thew 4. 12-25. Golden Text,
Matthew 1
St.M v 4.. 7,
12. John was Cast into Prison; The
story of John's denunciation of the
crime of Herod Antipas, king of
Galilee and Perea, and his consequent
imprisonment, told in chaip, 14: 1-5.
Jesus may have expected a similar
interference with • His own work in
Judea, or it may be that He regarded
John's imprisonment as the signal for
a more aggressive prosecution of His
own ministry.
13. Leaving Nazareth. Luke tells
us that He began to teach in the
synagogue of Nazareth, His home
town, but that some of the things
which. He said so displeased the peo-
ple that He was in danger of death
at their hands. He came and dwelt
in Capernaum, a town on the north-
west shore of the Lake of Galilee,
upon an rirportant road which led
south and westward to the Mediter-
ranean sea coast. The ruins of a
synagogue at a:place now called Tell
Hum are supposed to mark its site,
but the town itself has long ago dis-
appeared.
14-16. That It Might Be Fulfilled.
The passage quoted is from Iso. 9:
1-2. There it follows a description of
the terrible distress and trouble which
the ;prophet expecte to come upon the
people of Israel by reason of the in-
vasion of the country by the Assyrian
armies, He predicts the birth of a
wonderful child who shall be his peo-
ple's deliverer. He recalls that the
first shock of Assyrian invasion was
felt by the northern provinces of
Zebulun and Naphtali (see 2 Kings
15: 29), and expects that the light of
a great deliverance will come to them.
It as, of course, evident that Isaiah
was speaking of deliverance from As-
syrian armies, and that the salvation
which Jesus set Himself to accomplish
was of a quite different character. But
it is also true that the hope of a great
Saviour, which he was the first to
declare, was cherished through all the
centuries that followed, until Jesus
came, laid hold upon it, and gave it a
new meaning and a new direction. It
is the same hope, purified and enlarg-
ed, to which He is about to give a
larger fulfilment. The writer of the
Gospel regards it as significant that
this new light of hope in the teaching
and preaching of Jesus should now be
shining in this very land of Zebulun
and Naphtali, the land of Galilee.
18. Walking by the Sea of Galilee.
Jesus was a lover of the mountains
and the sea. He knew their quiet
places, their companionship, their rest-
fulness He knew also the sudden
storms which swept down from the
hills and. threw the level lake into a
' sea of tossing waves. He knew the
pleasant pasture lands, and the plow-
ed fields where the farmer sowed his
seed and the harvest ripened,, acid the
laden vineyards, and the fishing boats
whose white sails gleamed in the
morning sunlight. Best of all He knew
and loved the people, and He found
His first disciples amongst the hardy
fishermen.
Simon. and Andrew. Sinton is bet-
ter known to us as Peter, a Greek
name meaning "a rock," the Aramaic
equivalent of which was Cephas.
Simon and Andrew, as also James and
John, had been disciples of John. The
story of their first meeting and earlier
assoeiations with Jesus is told in John
1-8. By those earlier associations
they were prepared for the call which
now came to them to leave all and
follow Jesus.
LESSON
28-25. In All Galilee. Mark tells (1:
82-29) of a Sabbath evening in Caper-
naum, when the multitudes gathered
about the door of the house where
Jesus was, bringring their sick ones to
Him for healing. There He minister-
ed to them until the darkness com-
pelled theme to return to their homes.
Early on the following morning He
sought a quiet place, remote from the
town, where He might pray alone.
But again the multitudes were abroad
seeking Him. Then, to His disciples
who came looking for Him, He said,
"Let us go elsewhere into the next
towns, that 1 may preach there also;
for to this end came I forth." It was
not enough to awaken this soul hunger
in and to satisfy the need of one
place. He felt that He must go
abroad and carry the message every-
where. It may be that already the
shadow of the cross was upon His
path and that He knew His tame was
short. Jesue sent for His disotpies,
and sso for all His followers in every
age, the eaoannple of dilligent, cease-
less, and unwearying effort to spread
abroad the Gospel. Three times, dur-
ing His ,short ministry, He went about
making a tour of the cities and towns
of Galilee, preaching, teething and
healing.
Wherever He went the people fol-
lowed. And they came attracted by
His name, from more distant places,
from Syria, and from east Jordan
land and from the Greek ties to the
north-east. Compare Luke 6: 17,
where there•is 'mention also of those
who eiuue from the sea coast of Tyre
and Sidon, and from all Judea and
Jerusalem. The multitudes were but
the fororteeners of that vast host of
every land and nation which, down
through the ages since, has been win-
ing to Jesus and stili as coning, for
help and healing, for body and soul.

THE THOUGHTFUL
HEART
Thankfulness is the magician o
the heart. Without thankfulness, the►
life turns grey as, the desert on whit
no rain falls. The dog who sullenly
snatches his bone is a dog to fear.
The little child who snatches calla
from your hand without a response
of genuine thankfulness, is a child
for whom to weep. The adult who ds
not spontaneously thankful for all the
good that life brings him, is one' for
whom one may well weep. The men
and women who have risen to such
heights that they can give thanks for
all that life visite upon them, knout -
ling that, having donetheir honest
best, only good outcomes can be for
them—these men and women are fl4
to be Ieaders indeed.
Since the history of manbegan on
the earth, there perhaps has been no
more universal spirit of Thanksgiving
than sweeps around her zones to -day,
Not that there have been more good
gifts to the people. "God is always
on the giving hand," as old people
used to characterize His bountiful-
ness, We are more thankful because
we are wiser. Discipline and suffer-
ing have taught tie. Some of us never
knew enough about the value of bread
until we were made to save white
flour. Some of us took granulated
sugar as a very common gift indeed
until we were jolted awake. Some
of us, most of us indeed, did not
realize the blessings of peaceful lives
until war's horrors burst upon us.
In short, we did not know enough
about the gifts of God to be thankful
for these. Well, the thunder awaken-
ed some of us. We who are awake
must not only not go to sleep again
but see that the other boys and girls
wake up and get up and get , busy
about the Father's business. That
business is that every son and daugh-
ter in the world -family gets a square
deal!
It were well to have pause for
Thanksgiving, -not alone on Monday,
October 18, 1920, but en every Mon-
day of every year—on every day of
every seven days of all the weeks to
come! The spirit of Thanksgiving
should be a flaming torch in each
heart, burning away selfishness and
lighting the way to our increased
worthwhileness as sans and daughters
in the world -family.
Games for the Holiday.
Pull In, Pull Out, is a jolly romping
game which the younger boys and
girls will enjoy. It is played in this
way: Rollback a rug from the centre
of the floor and on the boards snake
a small square :with chalk. The square
can be about half :a yard in diameter;
there is no specialsize. All the
young people then join hands, form-
ing a circle, with the chalk square in
the centre. The circle must consist of
an equal number of players, who are
called reds and blues or by any other
fanciful names. The music, some live-
ly air, ,begins; the circle dances away,
"ring around a rosy" fashion, each
,player trying to draw some member
of the opposing faction into the
square. Any person drawn into the
square is out of the game. The Sid.
having most members remaining when
the game is declared at an end for
want of breath on the part of the
players Is declared victorious.
Another jolly game is called Three
Deep. Twelve or more players form
a circle of pairs (one behind the other
facing in) with space enough between
the players to turn and run in any
direction. Two players on the outside
of the circle and at a distance of two
yards from'each other begin the .game.
One of them, the "tagger," tries to
tag the other before he can place
himself in front of one of the pairs
forming the circle. If he succeeds in
doing this the player tagged becomes
"it" and the former "tagger" in turn
tries to run to a place of safety in
front of some pair. Whenever the one
being pursued emceeds en getting in
front of a pair before being tagged,
this forms "three deep" and the one
in the rear of the other two must take
to his heels and try to get a place.
in front of some other pair before
being tagged. In seeking to avoid the
"tagger," the players being pursued
may run in any direction, either to
left or right, or across the circle, but
not to pass in front of a pair so as to
indicate a stop and cause a false start.
A. hindmost player may step in front
of his own rank, making the middle
man hindmost or "third" and In po-
sition to be caught.
For that good old game Going to
Jerusalem, arrange claire in a long
row down the middle of the room,
placing them ao that one faces one
way, the next the other, and so on
down the line, There should be one
chair Jess than the number of players.
Form in line, start the music (a bright
march on the talking machine is just
the tiring), and when all are marching
merrily around, stop the music. All
scramble for setae and the one who is
left rover stands aside out of the game.
Another chair is removed, the .music
starts use again and then stops mule
deafly. Again a player is left out,
until it gets down to two players and
one their, the ozio who finally gets the
chair wins the game.
