Faith i'm God.

The divine wisdom. power and good
ness are infinite. Therefore. there Is
no reason why faith should not be I'M
limited in Gods willingness and trust
worthiness TO do for his children what
ever he sees to be for their best good
From this point of view certainly there
is no limit to faith. From another
point of view there are limits. Sin in
us operates as limit So far as we
consciously continue to do wrong. to
that degree we hinder ourselves from
the exercise of perfect and trium-
plant faith. and so to speak, put it out
of the Divine power to reward our faith
We make it impossible for God to hon
or our faith consistently with his own
nature and his knowledge of what is
best for US.

Why WE COOK FOOD.
Necessary Preparation for Its Receptiea
s In the stomach.


Necessary Preparation for Its Receptiea
~. In the stomach.
It would be absurd, in the face of the
tempting viands daily placed before
lis, to say that food would be just as
we'll uncooked. Yet to render food
more palatable is the least OF the rea.
sons for cooking it.
& Man is endowed with teeth which
are suitable for the mastication Of both
flesh and vegetable diet, and it would
need but a comparatively short time
to accustom him to raw food OF either
description.
Unfortunately, or fortunately, as the
case may be, all food has to undergo
certain changes before it can be taken
into the system as nourishment. Part
Of these changes take place In the
mouth when the food is subdivided by
the process Of chewing or mastication,
and part are made by the action of the
Juices of the stomach upon the mass.
Nourishment depends upon the com.
pleteness with which food is changed
by the processes of mastication and de
gestion. In this modern era, when ev-
erything is done with rush, there is
great danger of throwing upon the
stomach more work than 1t can do, by
the hasty and inefficient manner in
which we chew our food. =
Herewe perceive the great province
of cooking-that of an intermediary
agent between an insufficient mastica-
ton and an overtaxed stomach. In
other words, cooking may be made to
serve, to some degree, the purpose OF
mastication. Potatoes cooked till they
are "mealy" need much less time and
chewing than those which are boiled
hard and ''soggy." e.''s - '7' e ~
On the same principle, the pride OF
the housewife is in her light and
spongy' bread. It is better than the
hard cakes of milled corn and water
that were relished in primeval days,
because the minute bubbles of air
which are incorporated into the bread
facilitate its digestion, without the Ia
Dor of long chewing which the cakes
demanded. g fa s-H
Meats and vegetables upon being
properly cooked, lose the covering in
side of which the fbers and grains of
nutriment are hid, a result which, it is
true. may be similarly obtained by
mastication. 81 8}fig.=s sl.Ht s,#.t.fs.,4s7
We must not suppose, however, that
1t is easy to obtain proper results in
cooking, or to recognize them when
they have been obtained.i Because an
article of food is palatable and slips in
| to the stomach without effort, may be
| the last of reasons why it should be
nutritious and easily tsken care Of BY
| the stomach. IL -,,Ei .s,5s.- ~.
Indeed, SO great are the difficulties
in mastering the proper methods Of
cooking, and SO important are such
methods to the human economy, that
the subject deserves to be treated rath
er as science than as an art.-Youth'l
