Zurich Herald, 1949-05-19, Page 3(FC MAY wino!, LESSON Jesus' .Teachings On The Judgment Mark 13:1-2 28-37, Golden Text: Take heed, watch and pray; for ye know not when the time is.—Mark In the final week of His ministry our Lord spoke more particularly of events to come. He foretold the de- atruction of the beautiful temple. "There shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down." Forty years later this prediction was literally fulfilled, So enraged was the Roman general, Titus, at the stubborn resistance of the Jews that he ordered the temple to be fired. The melted gold ran flown between the foundation stones. The Roman soldiers in their quest for the gold saw to it that not one stone was left upon another, The destruction of Jerusalem was a judgment of the Jews. But Jesus taught the judgment of all nations. He himself will return and reward every man according to his works. There are various views with re- spect to the exact order of events connected with the return of our Savior. In rem(' to some details it is better not to be too dogmatic. But our individual responsibility is strik- ingly clear. We have a work to do. At an hour now unknown to any on earth, our Lord will return and take account of our conduct. We are therefore to be in life in constant readiness for His appearing, for on His approval depends our eternal happiness. Let us therefore pattern our lives after the Bible standard, -turning from sin and trusting in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. The life of faith will be characterized by works of faith. There evilbe ne irustration of the <course of justice at the final judg- went. He who wills now to be otir Savior will then be our judge. He will not judge merely by appearance but will judge the secrets of men's hearts.

That record will have been made on June the 9th .of this year (1949) by the Book of Common Prayer. This book was first pubished "at ye signe of ye sunne," Fleet Slfeet, London, in 1549. Sinee then, hundreds of edi- tions have appeared, not only in Eng!ish, but in dozens of other languages, from Japanese to that of Heide Indians of British Columbia, from Esquimaux to that of the an- ciant toneenes Latin, Greek and el,rew, to the modern Esperanto, eo ingeniously contrived to be a second language for all. The authorized version of the English Bible, published in 1611, and the Book of Comnion Prayer, first published 62 years earlier, are the books which have helped most to standardize oor English tongue. For hundreds of years, when other books were scarce, these two books found their way into the homes of all who could read, both in England and also in many other English No doubt you've heard this often enough before this, buto perhaps another reminder won't do any harm—potatoes cooked with their jackets on are much higher in food value than when you peel them. Vitamin C is highly important to health—yet when you peel potatoes before cooking them, you lose from 20 to 80 per cent of the Vitamin C content, besides some of the very valuable thiamin. Now, with that tiny sermon off my chest, how about a few recipes. Here's a "meatless" main dish that's almost guaranteed to please zany family that likes eggs and cheese. It's: Eggs Baked in Cheese Sauce 3 tablespoons shortening 3 tablespoons flour 11/4 teaspoon salt Dash pepper 1 teaspoon dry mustard 11/2 cups milk cup grated Canadian cheese • 6 eggs 2 cups corn flakes 1 tablespoon melted butter cret of frying -pan -baking, or of steaming meats on top of the stove.

When few could read, the language of the Prayer Book was heard, week by week, by multitudes of simple folk, and the dignified and euphonious phrases of that book entered the common speech of the people. We owe dozens of fine expression, in frequent use, to the Book of Common Prayer. The Piayer Book is largely in the lan- guage of Archbishop Cranmer and of Bishop Coverdale. The English of the Prayer Book is of the Golden Age of our language. A hiindred and fifty years later, in the reign of William and Mary, a revision was prepared which for- tunately did not win approval. It is now lost on the dusty shelves of co hole libraries. A long-winded per- iod of English writing had begun. Long sentences with dependent clauses, long words derived from the Latin, replaced the vigorous Anglo-Saxon words, and the short sentences of the English of the Golden Age. William and Mary's re- visers took Cranmer's perfect Col- lects and puffed them out with pious platitudes. But, thank God, this re- vision was never accepted, English speaking folk did not have their dic- tion spoiled by listening, Sunday by Sunday in the House of God, to such bombast. The language of the Book of Common Prayer has a wonderful rhythm and euphony which makes it delightful to read or to hear. It is full of lovely phrases quite peculiar to itself. "We bring our years to an end, as it were a tale that is told"; 'We have erred and rayed from thy ways like ost sheep"; "That peace which the' world cannot give"; "Pass our time in rest and quiet- ness"; "Show forth they praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives"; "A due sense of all Thy mercies." Some have criticized these supposed redundancies of the Prayer Book, such as "rest and quietness," "erred and strayed," but these not only provide rhythm, they also serve a real purpose in corporate worship. They give our slow minds time to grasp the thought, when it is given first in a word of Anglo-Saxon de- rivation, and then one of Latin origin. The Book of Coninion Prayer was the earliest effort to provide for all men in ane book, the Church's cor- porate acts of worship. Hitherto there had lo •n a book for the ser- vices of daily prayer (the Breviary) and another book containing the service of the Eucharist (Missal), yet another book containing the oc- casional offices, and another with the Bishop's special services. These were all in Latin. The people were provided with a book (the Primer) containing a few private devotions in their mother tongue. By simplify- ing the services, and translating them into the mother tongue, and malting them available in one handy voum; the worship of the Church could become corporate, as it had been in the early centuries. Instead of the priests in the Sanctuary re- cithig the service among themselves in one language, while the people in the nave engaged to private devo- tions in another language, all could now wprship together. The priest could recite his part, and the people could respond with theirs. The ideal of the whole community, rich and poor, high and low, clerk and mer- chant, craftsman and farmer, house- wife and workman, offering to God the life and work of the whole par- • ish with common understanding, could be realized.

When a man meets a woman acquaintance on the street, and turns to walk with her, should he offer to carry any parcels that she may have in her arms or hands? A. It would be the courteous thing to do, provided the parcels are rather large or heavy, but somewhat silly if the woman is merely carrying a book, or some equally small package. Q.

Clovrike We must surely be "by the gods beloved" because every time we ar- range to have a meeting here it is a nice day—and often a nice day sandwiched in between rough or stormy weather. Last Thursday was no exCeption—warm, bright sun- shine all day—even warm enough to e bring a few daffodils out in bloom so that I was able to have spring flowers in the house. All this cheeri- ness was very acceptable as our little get-together happened to be the annual meeting of our local Women's Institute, Everybody knows what a headache an annual meeting is at times, and how often it is dreaded, But there was no need to dread this one—everyone was so agreeable, and willing, and co-oper- ative only once did we hear that little word "no" after a nomination had been moved, and it was excus- able. I was really proud of our branch. So here we are, ready to latmch out on another year of ser- vice for Home and Country—just like other branches all over the province. The day after our meeting it was cold and wet—and then turned to snow. So you see why I think we were lucky—or maybe it was just the Institute that was lucky. Now that I am nicely started on one of my favourite topics I might as well keep it up—just in case there may be a few women somewhere who have not yet realised what a worthwhile organization we have in the W.I. Perhaps you are a new- comer to your district, perhaps you may even be a newcomer to Can- ada. If that is so there will be plenty of people in your district that you have never met; customs you have never heard about—and the best place to find out about both is to join the W.I. The country women of Canada are friendly; there is hardly one who would not go all-out to help a neighbour M an 'emergency. They have always been so inclined, but I must admit that somewhere along the way, and more especially of recent yeals, there hasn't been the same visiting back and forth there used to be. Women, these days, rarely thnk of just slipping on a coat over a clean apron or house- dress, picking up a bit of sewing or mending, and stepping over to Mrs. Goodenighbour's for an afternoon visit. It is hard to find a really satis- factory explOnation — dear only knows women fifty years ago were busy enough. Perhaps it is that country women, now that a lot of them have household conveniences like their town and city cousins, have also absorbed some of the self-suffi- ciency—perhaps I might even say self-centred attitude of the town dweller. You know how it is—a woman in town can live for many months in a district without even knowing her next-door neighbour at all. We don't want that to hap- pen in the country—it is surely something to guard against. Neigh- bourliness is an essential to country living, The newcomer, who thinks he—or she—can be an isolationist, is always the loser in the long run. Bet vhdting takes time—and if we feel we cannot take that time to visit back and forth as often as we would like to, then the W.I. pros, vides a medium for neighbours get- ting to know each other and dis- cussing their common problems. It is also a contact from which many a dear and lasting friendship may be the direct result. Yes, farm folk need the Institute as never before because we don't even get a chance to visit on the telephone the way we used to. Party lines are all so busy these days that there is hardly time to say any more than hullo and boodbye. But perhaps there isn't a Women's Institute branch in your district. That is an obstacle easily overcome. If there isn't ane, start one. There is no time like the present; no per sonbetter for the job than YOU. Phone your neighbours; ask them if they would like a branch organ- ized in that district, and if they wilt help. Do you know what the an- swer will bet I'll tell you. Nine out of ten neighbours will say—"Yes, it would be fine, and I'll be glad to help . . but I'm not sure about joining, I am afraid I would never be able to get to the meetings -1 em just that busy." But don't let that discourage you it is what most of them say. If you are sincere in wanting an Insti- tute branch, get in touch with your District President; call an organ- ization meeting and the rest will take care of itself. You will get your Institute—and the ladies WILL turn out to the meetings. You call lay your hand to your heart on that.
