Phil. 3:5. Circumcised the eighth day. Paul was very proud of his Jew- ish ancestry. His family belonged to the strict class. His circumcision was 1 one of the evidences of this, for it was regarded as a primary duty of the parents to see that their son was thus distinguished from all Gentile chil- dren. It was because Paul afterwards seemed to make circumcision of no • value that he was persecuted by his 1 people, Acts 21:21, Hebrew of the Hebrews, His parents were of pure descent, and zealously guarded the privileges or their nation. They brought up then boy to read He- brew. so that he could use the scrip- tures in the original tongue, V. G. A Pharisee. The Pharisees were a sect of about 6,000 in number, belonging to the stricter part of the nation and trying to observe all those things that distinguished the Jew from other nations. They had many excellent qualities, but their tempta- tion was to become very formal and legalistic. We learn Paul went to Jerusalem to complete his studies at the school of Gamaliel, a famous teacher, and rather liberal in his views. Some think that Paul was about fifteen years old at this time. This Jewish training was the lead- ing factor in Paul's early life and it exercised a permanent control over his thinking. His doctrines were largely drawn from Jewish sources. He con- stantly appealed to the Old Testament, holding that the promises made to Israel would be all fulfilled, and though he afterwards fought for the position that a Gentile could become a Christian without becoming a Jew, yet he never rejected his early privileges. He insisted on the observance of the moral law as contained in the' scrip- tures, and he sought to illustrate the doctrines of the Christian religion by passages in the prophets. His doc- trines on sin. resurrection, judgment, were drawn largely from the lessons he learnt from Gamaliel. To his dying day. Paul was proud of his Jewish up- bringing, and one of the saddest things In his life was the fact that his own people so often turned against him and rejected the promises made to the nation, while his fondest hope was that some all Israel would be saved, V. 6.

In England the savory, an' appetizing ]rickshaw that gives just the right finish to a meal, is a course peculiarly British. You can dine in any country you Choose, but only a British menu has ,a sting in its tail. Now let me give you the recipes for typical English savories, only remem- ber that those intended to be served here should be served piping hot and the cold really cold: Sardine Fingers Four medium-sized sardines, 1 hard- boiled egg, pepper, salt, paprika, but- ter to moisten, fingers of toast. Skin and bone sardines, place In saucepan with a dessertspoon of but-; ter, add minced hard-boiled egg, stir till piping hot, adding more butter if necessary. Season highly and servo piled up on fingers of hot buttered toast, garnished with mustard and cress. Finnan and Cheese Toast Four ounces scraped Finnan had- dock, 2 ounces grated cheese, 1 table- spoon milk or cream, 1 egg, halt an ounce of butter, salt and cayenne, fingers of toast. Place butter, fish and, milk in a saucepan, cook (stirring all the time) three to five minutes, theu add cheese, beaten egg, salt and cayenne. Stir over a slow fire till mixture thickens, then pile on fingers of hot buttered toast. Garnish each with a tiny sprig of parsley and serve. The toast should be soaked in butter. Cheese Custard Four ounces grated cheese, 1 gill cream or mills, 2 beaten eggs, cayenne and salt. Stir the eggs and cream into the grated cheese, season to taste with cayenne pepper and about a saltepoon of salt. Pour gently into a shallow,' buttered fireproof dish and bako lightly from ten to fifteen minutes. Soft Roes on Toast This will make the perfect finish to a good dinner. Just tut a slice of hot toast spread with anchovy paste then place a soft roe on each. Sprinkle with salt and cayenne. To prepare roes take them out of herring you are go- ing to season, dip in oatmeal in the Scottish fashien and fry as fo-r break. fast. Or buy them, as we do in Lon- don, in cartoons. No matter, rinse them in cold water, dry them with a cloth, saute lightly in a little hot but- ter and place one on each finger of toast. If you cut toast in squares you will need two roes for each, If pre- ferred, roes may be poached in hot hock or only one may be served on each finger, garnished with a tiny curl of bacon baked on a skewer in the oven, Ham and Egg Toasts Fried croutons of bread; butter, Neat Mending When about to darn or patch any kind of material, t laic the work in embroidery hoops, rather loosely, without stretching and with the place to be mended at the center. If a patch is required, baste it smoothly in plata underneath, then catch the edges of the torn material onto it, using fine thread. The finer the thread the better the finished work will look. Then frosn'the under side catch the edges' 01 the patch onto the material. Use a fine needle and try not to lot it pierce quite through to the right side. A patch shows less if it is possible just to trim off the torn edges of the material and not turn them under. When doing mending, keep all stitches loose so they Will not pull the least bit. This is most important, When a patch is not necessary, fill in the place with threads drawn Pram the goods itself, letting the threads run in the 'same direction ee the threads of the goods. If ,sulk' thread of the, same color. One qften can match the color with embroidery cottons. Mending that has been beautifully done sometimes looks conspicuous afterwards because a wrong method. of pressing has been used: Never press a mended place from the, wrong side because it throws up into thigh relief all the threads used In the mending. Press from the right side, and not too hard nor with too hot an iron. In the 'case of heavy cotton goods or wooden goods, keep a press- ing cloth between tike material and the iron, French Canadians and the • West Bulletin des Agrlculteurs: There are In the Canadian West 91 million acres of 000upied land, as against 147 millions unoccupied, and this land has th'e highest yield per acre of any land on the North American Continent.
