Zurich Herald, 1936-08-06, Page 2By Mair M. Morgan Can't you just imagine fresh, ripe cherry flavour that will be caught end imprisoned in these jars when they are filled with cherry jelly? If this picture doesn't make you almost taste that flavor, you are indeed im- pervious to good things! Black cher- ries or red cherries — that lovely tang and color will be preserved by modern short -boil methods of jam and jelly making and how you will apprec- iate it on the cold days of fall and winter Don't let people depress you with tragic tales of a dearth of jams or jellies for cold weather on account of the recent heat wave. The cherry crop has come through bravely — perhaps there are fewer cherries and the price a bit higher but in Canada we are lucky in finding them bright and flavoursome as ever on the mar- ket and since we can use the bottled fruit pectin method in making them into jam or jelly we are just as far ahead because the short -boiling takes so much less fruit than the old-fash- ioned way did. Then think of the extra flavour that is held in them because it is not all stewed out as it often is by long -boil methods, Cherry jam is an asset indeed this particular year — how often you will Indian Women Seek A Man's Education Lord Meston, speaking of modern India at Oxford recently, said: Women, no longer suffering ex- elusion, were demanding education similar to that of men.

(For stronger cherry flavour, add 1.4 teaspoon almond extract before pour- ing). Place fruit in jelly, cloth or bag and squeeze out juice. Measure sugar and juice into large saucepan and mix.

Old-fashioned methods would have given you so much less and with an inferior flavour. Get your supply of cherries now while they are still on the market and even if these days are very hot this short -boil method of making jam or pelly is not the old way of having your kitchen blazing hot with a fire or heat kept on for a long time cook- ing away the fresh flavour of the fruit. Then too, you can use cherries at their very hest if you missed the earliest ones. You can make your jam or jelly some morning before breakfast with this short -boil method and see it all in jars ready for the fruit cupboard before the heat of the day settles in. Cherry Jelly (Any kind except Wild or Chokeberry) 61/4 cups (23.4 lbs.) sugar; 3 cups (11/ lbs.) juice; 1 bottle fruit pectin, To prepare juice, stem and crush about 3 pounds of fully ripe cherries. Do not pit. Add 34 cup water, bring to a boil, cover, and simmer 10 minutes. Attention 1 We will pay $1.00 on publication for the best salad salad dish or re- freshing drink recipe received.

GOLDEN TEXT —'9 was not disob- edient unto the heavenly vision." Acts 26-19. THE LESSON IN 1TS SETTING Time — The conversion of Saul oc- curred A.D. 36. His sojourn in Arabia and eventsqts tum ediatel Y connectedne cted theirewith occurred in A.D. 36-38. And Paul's arrest in Jerusalem was prob- ably in 57 A.D. The Epistle to the Ga- latians was written probably about A. D. 57. Paul's First Epistle to Tim- othy was written about 66 A.D. Place — The conversion of Saul the city Y ofust o took place just Damascus, his arrest and defence that followed, recorded in Acts 22, occur- red in Jerusalem. The Epistle to the Galatians was written from Corinth to the churches in the Roman prov. ince of Galatia. The First Epistle to Timothy was written from Rome, where Paul was a prisoner. "But Saul, yet breathing, threaten- ing and slaughter against the discip- des of the Lord," This refers back to ;the preceding Act of Saul's persecu- ry�khns in Acts 8 : 1-3. "Went unto the liigh:priest," and asked of him letters to Dariiascus unto the synagogues" Damascus was one of the most anc- ient cities.of the world (Gen. 14 : 15), and had been, from its earliest Period, identified 'with the history of the Jews, a great number of whoni were living there at the time of Saul. That if he found any_ that were of the Way." This deeply significant title for the Christian faith and life is common in. the book of Acts (see e.g. 19 :9, 23; 22' 4; 24 :14, 22); more fully given bj' the apostle Peter as "the way of the truth" (2 Pet. 2 : 2). "Whether -risen or women, he might bring them 'bound to Jerusalem;" Paul's purpose was quite to put out the name of Christ by destroying all the godly cruelly. "And as lie journeyed, it cane to pass that he drew nigh unto Damas- cus." It is not known just how far out of the city the •miracle about to be described tdok place. "And suddenly there shone round about him a light out of heaven." In Acts 22 : 6 and 26 13 we are told that the time of day was about noon, and that_ the light which he saw was "above the bright- ness of the sun. "Aiid he fell upon the earth, and head a voice saying unto him." In 22 ,.9 it' is said that Paul's compan- ions heard the utterance, but they did not hear distinct words, or un- derstand who it wv, that spoke. "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?" This announcement Must have South Africa will spend $66,000,- 000 in building 5,000 miles of roads• in the next live years. W.F. counted me faithful." Faithfulness , 3$ the supreme virtue of .the servant of Christ, single -hearted devotion to' the interests of the Lord, "Appoint.' ing me to his service." The noun here translated service is from the same Greek words that the words "minis tration" and "serve" are derived from in Luke's account of the ap; pointment of the first deacons (Acts 6 : 1, 2). "Though. I was before a blasphem- er, and a persecutor, and injurious," This last•word night more accurate- ly be translated "bully" -- it means "one who not only ill-treats others, but does so 'with the insolence of supreme strength." "Howbeit I obtained mercy, because I did It ignorantly in unbelief." St„' Paul does not say that bis sin eons-, witted in ignorance was not sin, but that, because it was committed in ignorance, it was more readily par-; doned than 'presuj'niptuous sins' — sins eomniitted against the light of conscience. Both as a Jew and a Christian Paul had lived .before God in all good conscience. "And the grace of our Lorci abound- ed exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus." The word here translated 'abound' means 'to overiiow its channels.' struck Paul with astonishment. Je- sus, he thought was dead and buried, and the followers of Jesus, in his mind, were enthusiasts of a false Messiah, the enemies of the true faith. "And he said, Who art thou, Lord?" The title, Lord, is here used in rev- erence and awe struck response to the question of a speaker in whose voice accompanied las it was by the super- natural light, Saul recognized a di- vine utterance. 'And he said,I am Jesus whom thou persecutest." This was the name that Paul so much hat- ed. He knew this person actually had lived upon the earth. It was Jesus who had been crucified in Jerusalem. It was the same Jesus who was now speaking to him from heaven. The conclusion that he was the Son of God was inevitable for Paul and arrived at instantaneously. "But rise, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but beholding no man." A long journey, in the days of Saul, was not made by one alone, but in company with. others, for the sake of protection as well as companionship. "And Saul arose from the earth; and when. his eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and they led him by We hand, and brought hint into Damas- cus." This blindness was certainly un- answerable nanswerable evidende that the appear- ance given to him had been a reality. "And he was three days without sight, and did neither eat nor. drink." Undoubtedly Paul, during these days, prevented from beholding the, physi- cal and material objects about him, held precious communion with God, "And Ananias departed and entered into the house; and laying his hands on him said, Brother Saul." The very address that Ananias uses in begin- ning to speak to this former persecu- tor must have melted the heart of Saul "The Lord, even Jesus, who appear- ed unto thee in the way which thou earnest, hath sent. me, that thou may - est receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit." Saul received. the Holy Ghost through an ordinary disciple. Usually the gift of the spirit was conferred only by apostolic hands but Soul was not to be dependent on he twelve, and he whom the Lord had himself called in peculiar fashion re- ceived the gift of the Spirit in quite a different way from that in which it came to ordinary believers. "And straightway there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he re- ceived his sight; and he arose• and was baptized." By this baptism Saul was visibly made a member of the body of Christ.
