how to reach the masses" by carrying the
Gospel to the homes.

message of light and truth. These are some Of
the things that are done by these workers
every day. Are they happy in their work
Yes. 1t is God-given work. and it is the
carrying out of the life purpose that brings
genuine happiness. No one not in tho Masters
service can ever know how royalty He rewards
His servants for even the cup of cold water

At 6 o'clock the evening meal is served,
where the bright bits of the days experience
are related, and at the close of which an even
ing hymn is sung, and in earnest prayer the
Superintendent lays all the efforts Of the day
at the Masters feet Some of the Deaconesses
repair at once to their rooms to prepare for an
evening service, others to read or study, while
some always linger in the parlors for social
converse. The difficult, cases, with the dis
couragements of the day, are carried to the
Superintendent, and sympathy and wise coun-
sci lovingly given. And each feels that she has
q home in all that the word implies.
During the three Summer months more than
1000 calls have been made. Each of the
workers have had months vacation. AS
they did not nil go away at one time the work
went steadily on.
One of the most interesting features of our
Summers work was the transferring of more
than 300 poor children from the close, foul
tenement-house atmosphere to enjoy the fresh
country air for two weeks Blessed results
have accrued from these efforts During these
same months almost $500 have been expended
from our sick and poor fund" and more than
1000 lunches of flowers have been given out.

Some rules for broiling chops in pan to have
the effect as broiling them right over the
GOALS are the following: The pan should be
very hot when the chops are put in, but it
should have no butter in it. Drop the chop
in, count 10 and then turn it. Count 10 and
turn again. let it stay for a minute. and then
draw to the sides or back of the stove and fin
ish cooking it. A chop one inch thick will
take from five to seven minutes to cook in this
wav. Season and serve. To cook chops in
pspe2 cases take note paper or heavybrown
paper in sheets large enough to double over
the chop, and have the edges folded securely
in. They will have to be more than twice the
size of the chop. Butter these sheets and put
the chop in them Then fold the paper over
them and crease the three sides, creasing them
twice. Broil these over the Goals. not near
enough to make the paper catch fire, nor so far
away that the meat will not cook. Tho chop
broiled in this way is basted in butter and
its own juices, and is especially delicate If the
paper ignites, take the chop out, butter another
sheet and try over again. The broiler is best
held near the Goals and turned very often
about once in 20 seconds. A chop three
quarters Of an inch thick ought to cook in five
minutes and one one inch thick in eight.
