"Take Aim.
Rev. Gerard B. F. Hallock

Rev. Gerard B. F. Hallock.
1t is an old saying that if you aim
at the barn door you will never hit
the weathercock on the steeple;
which simply means that we must
aim high if we would hit high. 1t is
just as true in the Christian life. In
the great Christian Endeavor mem~
bership there are just two classes
young men and young women. Both
are greatly influenced by their ideals.
We all are. A high ideal is a help
toward higher life. No sculptor
touches the marble without definite
idea-"I see angelo in it," No build
er begins without a finished plan.
So, too, in character building we need
plan, an ideal toward which we
work. l have thought that to every
earnest young man in the ranks of
Christian EndeavOr there is a worthy
ideal suggested by the motto en-
graved on the coat of arms of the
Prince Of Wales. He ascribes his po-
sition to the grace of God; then be-
low are engraved the words, "Whose
/ am, and whom / serve" This has
the ring of true Christian knighthood.
"Whose l am" to beGod's. Then,
"Whom / serve" to serve God.
First, belonging to God, dedicated to
his name, given over to his worship.
Then, "Whom / serve," cOnsecrated
to his cause, kept for his use, made
over hand and heart to his service.
To be Gods and to serve God {! Who
could imagine higher ideal? Such
an aim, steadily adhered to, would
make any life noble. And to any
Christian young lady there is beau
tiful ideal suggested by a story to be
found in Grecian mythology. The
story is to explain how the island of
Cyprus came to be very beautiful
We are told of a goddess who walked
with a soft and delicate tread about
the island, and that, following hel
steps, every green herb and lovely
flower sprang up by the way. This
may become a literal fact in the life
of every Christian young woman
for if into her soul God has been
welcomed, along her footsteps every
plant of Christian usefulness may
spring up, and every beautiful flower
of Christian adornment may grow
until all shall unite to call hel
"blessed." There can be no higher
ideal for any Christian woman than
to merit the being called, not SC
much bright or beautiful, as "bless,

dish to cool. Cover with a meringue
made by beating the whites of four
eggs beaten stiff with two tablespoon

traps of the bathroom or the kitchen
sink quart of common salt thrown
into them will thaw them out more
rapidly than hot water.
Large towels of heavy crash for
articles about the stove are
very convenient and can be more
easily washed than a holder. They
are, moreover, more convenient than
a holder in lifting large baking-pans
and many other dishes and pots and
pans.
-Four good dishcloths of linen crash
will cost just six cents each, and will
last a year, if they are not used to
scour knives and to wash the bots
toms of iron pots. A large cork is
the best thing to scour knives with,
and an iron dishcloth made of rings
should hang in every kitchen to wash
the bottoms of kettles that may be
sooty from being used next to the
fire.
The exact measurements of the
tick of the pillows now generally
used is thirty inches in length and
from twenty to twenty-five inches in
width. A square pillow, or nearly
square, thirty inches by twenty-sev-
en-, is not often used now, as it is no
longer customary to display pillows
during the day, but to use a round
bolster. If the pillows vary from the
width given, they will be very in
convenient, as the only widths of
pillow-case muslin and linen that
come are a yard and an eight, yard
and a quarter or a yard and a half.
The last width fits the square pill
low" and is therefore not as much
used as the medium width.
SNOW PUDDING.
Cover one-half box of gelatine with
cold water, and let it soak a half
hour; then pour over it one pint of
boiling water, add two cups of sugar,
and stir until dissolved then add the
juice of three lemons, and strain the
whole into a tin basin 4; place this in a
pan of ice water, and let stand until
cold; when cold, beat with an egg
beater until as white as snow; beat
the whites of four eggs to stiff froth,
and stir them into the pudding.
Turn the pudding into a mould that
has been dipped into cold water, and
stand it away to harden.
Make sauce with the yolks of the
eggs, one quart of milk, and a hall
cup ofsugar. Scald the milk, beat
yolks and sugar together until light,
add them to the milk and cook
two minutes. Take from the fire
add one teaspoonful Of vanilla and
turn out to cool.
RICE MERINGUES.
Boil four tablespoonful of rice ir
water for thirty minutes, then drain
mix with it half pint of milk and 6
tablespoonful of melted butter. Beai
the yolks of three eggs and half cuI
