Golden Text, Luke 2. 30, 31. Verse 21 intervenes between our last lesson and this one. It records the circumcising and naming of Jesus on the eighth day, according to the law, and emphasizes the fact that the name given him was in ac- cordance with the angel's command at the time of the annunciation. 22. The days of their purification -Really the days of the purifica- tion of the mother, These, in the case of the birth of a son, covered a period of forty days, according to the law of Moses, as found in Lev, 12. 2-6. 23. As it is written -Compare Exed. 13. 2, 12. 24. A sacrifibe-Tho law required "a lamb a year old for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon or turtledove, for a sin offering," and in eases of extreme poverty, "two turltedoves or two young pigeons, the one for a burnt offering, the other for a- sin offering." From the fact that Mary and Joseph brought the miniinum sacrifice per- mitted in ease of poverty it is in- ferred that they were in humble circumstances. Zac arias an LAUNDRY. How to Iron Clothes. -Is to iron the back of a skirt first. Then the sleeves, next the collar and bosom, and then the front. In ironing a frock first de the waist, then the sleeves, then the skirts. The skirt should remain rolled while the other parts are being ironed and a chair should be set to hold the sleeves while ironing the skirt. Iron calicoes on the right. side. this helps to keep them clean longer. Silk should be ironed on the wrong side quite damp with the iron mod- erately hot, as a hot iron is liable to change and fade light colors. For Frosty Wash Days. -In frosty weather it is the hanging of small things like napkins, handkerchiefs, stockings, etc., -especially when there are many children, that takes the time in the cold air and makes our fingers suffer. Still we like our clothes dried out of doors. It is a good plan to have several strips of line outside of the regular clothes line, binding each end firm- ly with a strong piece of cloth. Pin your handkerchief, etc., to these lines in the house, dropping them into the clothes basket as you go along. Take out 'one line at a time in the basket and fasten each end firmly to the regular line with one clothes pin and one in the middle. It will take but a moment to do and it is a great convenience in cold weather. Smooth Starch, - Starchmaking requires skill en a,gas stove to pre- vent- burning. • Instead of dissolv- ing the starch in a kettle and pour ing boiling water upon it in the old way, when it browns before cooking, try placing water in a, ket- tle, previously rubbing a bit of clean lard on the bottom. To each quart of boiling water add one ladle .of starch dissolved in : 1 • tie water, and stir in as you would thickening to gravy. Wet Wringer Wheels. -To light- en wringing on washday, dip the wheels on each side of the wringer in the tub of- water before putting it on to wring, and it will work as easily as if it had been oiled. Sew Curtains to Sheets. -If fine net curtains have become ""ten- der," baste on to the sheets before putting them into water. They can then be washed without danger of tearing from their own weight. The sheets may be pinned to the flour till dry, when :they are ready to hang. Milk Stn.rch,-Use skim milk for starch. Take sweet milk that has stood long enough for all the 'ream to sernrat-e, skim, end nee milk for etarehing black underskirts, dark red perrrules, etc, Iron nn wrong side.

Their keen spirited insight revealed to them truths to which the learned scribes were blind, and made them expectant, looking forward to the fulfillment of the prophecies coir- oerning the coming of the Messiah here referred to as the consolation of Israel. 26. The 'Lord's Christ -Or, the Christ of God, as the same expres- sion is translated in Luke 9. 20 - that is, him whom God has se:at as the Messiah. 27. Came in the Spirit -Guided by the Spirit -into the temple. 29-39. This exquisite hymn, for the preservation of which, together with the Benedict -us and the Mag- nificat, we are indebted to Luke, has been used in the Christian Church in its vesper and other ser- vices since the fourth century. It is usually called the Nanc Dimittis, and is in thorough harmony -with the spirit of the gospel in that it includes the Gentiles in the king- dom of the Christ. 29. Servant -Greek, bond -ser- vant. Lord -Greek, 'master. According to thy word -Referring 'to the special revelation vouch- safed to Simeon and mentioned in verse 26 above. 30.

Their own city 'Nazareth - Luke makes no montaoa of the visit of the Wise Men or the flight to Egypt, bods of which must have intervened between the presenta- tion in the temple and the return of Jesus with his parents to Naz- areth. Taken in connection with the fact that Matthew dues record these two incidents while omitting others of i n ergs ace which Luke mentions, and the further fast that Luke in the introduction to his Gospel (compare lc son fir Janu- ary 7) speaks of having "traced the course of all things accurately from the first," would seem to warrant the oonclusioa Haat each of the evangelists, Matthew and Luke, used sources of information to which the other did not have ac- cess, and that the narratives of the two men were written whollyinde- pendently of each other, neither having the work of the other before him at the time of writing.

"We make archipelagos and islands on our floor," he explained, "while the floor is a sea.

When the desire comes over them "for something to whiz" they build or try to build a mountain rail- road 'to reach up to the table."
