Zurich Herald, 1934-05-31, Page 3Woman's World By Mair M, Morgan PUDDINGS Puddings are always good.

Then add enough of the remaining confectioners' sugar to make the desired consistency. Form mixture into a roll and sprinkle top with cinnamon. Cut in slices just before serving. Makes 1% cups. SANDWICH FILLINGS Some new fillings for sandwiches. These are always acceptable and if you have no call for them at the moment they are worth cutting out and filing away for some future event. 1. One three -ounce package of cream cheese blended with two halves of stewed apricot finely cut. Delicious on thin slices of nut bread. Makes 1/2 cup. 2. One three -ounce package of cream •cheese blended with one table- spoon honey. Makes 1-3 cup.

Very good spread on thin slices of ,whole wheat bread which have been but- tered. RHUBARB DISHES Rhubarb days are here. If you want a new combination try this:— Rhubarb and Orange Fool Stew some young rhubarb, drain off the syrtip, rub the rhubarb through a hair sieve, blend with % cup pulp one large spoon marmalade, and add 3'e pint whipping cream. Whisk well till it will stand up in points, but do not let it get buttery. Serve in glasses, decorated with a few petals of some fresh flower; vio- lets perhaps or, failing thein, some crystallized rose 'petals. Only a very few are needed. This is also suit- able for a bridge luncheon. With Bananas Cut some bananas into slices with a silver knife and place at the bot- tom of a china fruit dish. Stew some rhubarb and when soft mix in- to it some hot thick custard and pour over the bananas. Top witli cream if you like and serve with finger bis- cuits or wafers. Baked Rhubarb Cut 1 pound rhubarb into into lengths. Place in a baking dish which has a cover. Add -1 cup su- gar and 14 cup cold water. Cover and bake in moderate oven till ten- der. Various seasonings or flavor- ings may be added to change the taste of the rhubarb. Grated orange or lemon rind, ginger root, preserved ginger, raisins, or prunes, fig a cut fine, all or any of these make inter- esting variation in flavor. Rhubarb Dumplings Cut rhubarb into inch lengths with out paring. Place with very little water in a covered casserole, plenty large enough to also hold the dump- lings while they are cooking. Add sugar. Mix up a dumpling dough: Half cup flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 cup fine bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon melted shortening, 14 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 slightly beaten egg, milk enough to moisten. The quantity of milk required will depend on the staleness of the bread crtiinbsensually about 1/2 cup. Com- bine the ingredients, adding egg and milk last. Drop by spoonfuls over the rhubarb, cover, bake in hot oven 15 minutes, until rhubarb is cooked and dumpling's done. Beauties of Scotland Shown in London A Scottish travel exhibition is to open in London toward the end of this month. It is to demonstrate that side or Scotland which is Britain's playground. The exhibits will range from tartan goods to liner models, — an inquiry bureau will give visitors information about holidays in Scot- land. In the evenings lectures, concerts and dances will be given, and films of Scottish life and scenes will be shown. The Duke of Montrose and the Master of Semphill are among the lectures, and Miss Jean Bruce will deal with the primitive home industries of the Hebrides. Many improvements have been made in recent years in the catering for motorists wishing to visit the Highlands, and visitors to Great Bri- tain will no doubt find extra incen- tives for going to Scotland from the fact that the King and Queen are to spend a week in Edinburgh in July, wben they will stay at the famous Palace of Holyrood house and hold an afternoon drawing -room and a garden party. The annual P.E.N. Club congress is also to be held at Edinburgh this 'summer. „ Prefers 'Em High Mark Hill, 70 -year-old cyclist, who has been doing his riding for over 58 years spurns the modern machine for his ancient model. Sunday School Lesgnn Warm Water Aids The Home -maker Tepid Water Will Quickly Remove Sand or Grit From Vege- tables — Try it for Spraying Your Plants It seems that the temperature of water is a small point to emphasize, but the woman who has kept house for years knows that it's attending to the small things that makes for ef- ficiency in household affairs. Of course vegetables must be "crisped" in very cold water, but for the first washing to remove the sand and grit you will find that tepid water does the trick in half the. time. Spinach, leaf lettuce, broccoli, all the root vegetables, asparagus and beans are more easily washed in water that luke-warna or even warmer.. Warm water shoulrl be used to ipray house ?slants, in order to re- move the accumulation of dust from the leaves. Here again tepid water lemore efficacious than cold. IN WASHING FURNITURE,' For the washing of painted wood- work and furniture, warm soapsuds is used. .A. heavy lather first, then a' cloth wrung out of warm, clear 'Water and a final polish witb a soft cloth and all finger marks and smudges disappear like magic. For finished natural -woods, complete the • cleaning with a rubbing with fur- niture polish or liquid wax. For ma- hogany furniture, use chamois in plate of cloth—one for the washing • and another for the rinsing. Very hot or boiling water is the simplest and quickest way to remove fruit stains from table cloths and napkins. If the •, hole cloth does not need laundering, stretch the place with the stain in embroidery hoops and pour hot water through. If you use hot water to sprinkle clothes they will be ,ready for ironing within fifteen or twenty minutes. A garment or piece of. linen dampened with hot water and rolled tight is of how easily it's done. Lesson X. (22).—June 3. Jesus in the Shadow of the Cross.—Mat thew 26:1-75. 'Golden Text. — He went forward a little, and fell on his face, and prayed,saying, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass away from me, neverthe less, not as 1 will, but as thou wilt. —Matt. 26:39. The Lesson in its Setting. TIME.—Thurscky, April 6, A.D. 30, the day before the crucifixion. PLACE — Bethany, Terusalein, the Mount of Olives. • PARALLEL PASSAGES —Mark 14; Luke 22; John 13:1-38; 14:148: 27. "Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended in me this night" The shadow of Gethsemane is begin- ning to fall on Christ's own spirit, and he knows how it must fare with men unprepared for what is coming. "For it is written." Christ, who found the Old Testament an anticipatory biography, quotes from Zech. 13:7. "I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad." Jesus was the Shepherd who was about to be smitten, and he foretold the scattering of the sheep. "But after I am raised up." Once more, as so often before, aur Lord foretells his resurrection. "I will go before you into Galilee." Still the Shepherd of the sheep, our Lord would precede ,his little flock, as an Eastern shepherd goes before his flock and does not drive it before him, "But .Peter answered and said un- to him." Peter, the bold, the im- petuous, the outspoken, who may have said only what all the others wanted to say, but did not dare to. "If all shall be offended in thee, I will never be offended.' There was in Peter's words a vanity -which would set him above all his brethren, even above the sainted John and the valorous James. They might forsake the Master, but he never would! Yet he was the one who did. "Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee." Our Lord's earnestness should have carried a double warn - the same dampness all over and irons as easily as one which was dampen- ed with cold Water and allowed to stand over night. Try it some day when you are in a hurry to iron and can't wait to "damp ni down" the laundry. • Alawys put fresh vegetables on to cook in boiling water. The cooking time is shortened there is less loss of food value, and their color is pre- aerved when they are started in boil- ing water. IN GELATIN.DESSERTS Moulded gelatin desserts and salads as well as those frozen in moulds are easily removed from the moulds for serving if they are plunged into a pan of hot water for a few seconds. They should be kept in the hot water just long enough to melt the gelatin or frozen mixture against the metal of the mould, and this won't take even a minute. You can hasten the rising of your rolls if, after they are shaped and in the pans, you place them in a cup- board near a pan of steaming water and close the door tightly. The moist warmth will penetrate the dough and make the rolls rise quickly. This is particularly well worth keeping in mind when making ice -box rolls be- cause these take double the time for rising that ordinary rolls'do. The raw taste of so many uncooked icings is overcome i the icing is per- mitted to stand over hot water for fifteen or twenty minutes. Also you can keep icings in a pliable condition if they are put over hot water while frosting the cakes. Sometimes merely dipping the spatula into hot water makes the frosting spread easily. When cutting marshmallows for desserts, try dipping the shears into warni water between snips and see ing to Peter's over -confident spirit. "That this night, before the cock crow." "Before the cock crow twice," says Mark 14:30. Peter, Who was Mark's informant, accord- ing to tradition, would remember the exact words. "Thou shalt deny me :thrice." As actually happened; read Mark 14: 66-72. "Peter saith unto him." "He spake exceeding vehemently" (Mark 14:31) "Even if I must die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. "He wanted to set out at once for martyrdom in Jesus' behalf! "Likewise also said all the disciples." The disciples trusted themselves: they did not mean to fall. "Then cometh Jesus with them into a place called Gethsemane." Gethsemane," means, significantly, "an oil press." Our Lord went there that night primarily for prayer before his terrible ordeal, and also to separate from his trouble the kind- ly family who had given him their hospitality for the last supper. "And saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while.I go yonder and pray." "There ,are some acts of life in which every :one of us must be alone." "And he took with him Peter and Ithe two sons of Zebedee." These were James, who was to be the first , martyr among the disciples, and ,J.ohn, -" the disciple whom Jesus loved," as he designated himself in proud and glad humility. "And began to be sorrowful and sore troubkd." The reality of Christ's sufferings sets forth more clearly the greatness of his love. "Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even unto death." No one of us can imagine the awful weight of the world's iniquity pressing down upon the pure spirit of the Saviour. "Abide ye here, and watch with me." It was a very human feeling that Christ showed, this need of compan- ionship in his sufferings. "And he went forward a little, and fell on his face." TIM'S he showed his utter abandonment to grief and en- treaty. "And prayed, saying, My Father." Always, however bitter the cup extended to him, he knew that it was in his loving Father's hand. "If it be possible, let this cup pass away from me." By "cup" through- out the Bible, is meant "fortune" or "fate," coming woe or coming joy. "Nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt." These were the two points of his prayer. — 'If it be possible' and 'nevertheless.' "And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them sleeping." Sleeping with the Son of God agonizing for them only a stone's cast away! "And saith unto Peter." Peter was the one who had made the loud protesta- tion of fidelity. "What, could ye not watch with me one hour?" "In the last great service Peter did not fail him, for Peter was crucified for Christ. James, too, laid down his life for him, and John went into exile in the isle of Patmos. Where the,r all failed was in the lesser thing in the duty that was comparatively 'Watch- and pray, that ye enter not into temptation." We must either be Christ's soldiers, or the .vil's slaves. "The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." How ready was Christ to make allowances! "Again a second time he went a- way, and prayed, saying, My Father, if this cannot pass away, except I drink it, thy will be done. Essen- tially the same as the first prayer, not because Christ did not mean the first prayer, but because he meant it so much. "And he came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. Not even their Lord's ten- der remonstrance had served to a- rouse them from their slumber, and keep them awake. "And he left them again, and went away, and prayed a third tine, say- ing again the same words." We read (Luke 22:43) that at the height of Christ's agony "there appeared unto him an angel from heaven, strengthening him." "Oh, what do you offer to the dear Lord in his garden of sorrows? "Then cometh he to the disciples." His hour of trial was over and his conflict was won, but still he longed for companionship. "And saith un- to them, Sleep on now, and take your rest." "Such unconcern, thrice re- peated, was surely as much a denial as that of St. Peter afterwards; and the depressing sense of the disciples' frailty and lack of sympathy must have added no little to the bitter load of sorrow which the Saviour had to bear." "Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners." "Sone had come to his hour. He was the centra figure in the supreme paradox o ti me, "Arise, let us be going: behold, b' is at hand that betrayeth "Wi have a suggestion here of the calm ess of true courage. Bean Weevil Dislikes Canadian Winters The bean weevil is unable to sun vive when exposed to winter ten' peratures in Canada, says Alan G Dustan of the Dominion Entomolo' gical Branch. Accorrdingly bean; should be stored in unheated grana. ries or seed houses where the tem- perature inside the building will closely approximate that outside. In- fested seed should never be planted without previous treatment. If beans contain weevils, they should be fumi- gated with carbon bisulphide, The greatest care, however, must be exer- cised in the use of carbon bisulphide as the fumes are poisonous to human beings and quickly ignite and explode when brought into contact with fife in any form. Athough this fumigrant can be purchased at most seed houses or wholesale drug stores, its use should be confined to expert and ex- perienced men, Neighbors Neighborliness is a trait that is predominant in Canadian character. Perhaps it is because the small town forms the background for so many Canadian lives and it is in the small town that neighbourliness reaches its highest development. Yet, even in the crowded cities, there is --just below the surface—a golden vein of neigh- borliness. The sums raised in cities for unemployment relief, and the splendid response to benevolent ap- peals, attest the existence of a feel- ing of affection and responsibility for those who live nearby. All too often we hide an interest in others behind a mask of assumed in- difference. We are afraid someone will think us soft and sentimental. Never has there been a time in the history of our nation when true neighborliness was more important, Never has there been a time when our neighbors need our help and In terest as they do now.
