ChurchPOinY.

And, best of all, by churchgoing we
have our share in the greatest act of
Christian worship-the show ing forth
Of the Lords death in the holy sacra-
ment. We may eat the flesh and drink
the blood Of Christ to the strengthening
of our soul No private prayer, no BIZ
BILE reading at home, will make up for
the loss of this, for this is the Chris
tian's highest duty and the Christian S
dearest privilege. By churchgoing you
honor your God, you win His blessing
on all your pleasures and all your cares.
By forsaking your church you lose the
blessing of His presence, and your soul
will faint and perish, until you come
near to forget God. And then how
shall He remember you when He calls
together His people at the great day?
If you have any love and gratitude to
God for creating, redeeming and sancti-
flying you-if you want anything from
Him, if you have soul TO be saved
don { give up going to church. If you
don love God, if you don t care about
salvation, it is useless to argue with
you. Evangelist.

The women Of to-day are not as strong
As their erandmothers.
They are bearing burden in silence
that grows heavier day by day; that is
sapping their vitality, elouding thei. hap
piness, weighing them down with the woe
of III health.
Mrs. Alexander B. Clark, of AT Mic :
gan Avenue, Detroit, is a typical WOMB
of to-day. A wife with such ambition Is
only loving wife can have. But the
joys Of her lie were marred by the ex-
istenee of disease.
Suffering as thousands Of her sisters have
suffered, she almost despaired of lie and
yet she was cured.
To-day she is well!
She wants others to profit by her ex-
perience; to grow well; TO enjoy health;
TO be as happy as she is.

That is the testimony of many Others
who have used it here:
Take one can OF Rabbits potash and
dissolve in one quart of boiling water in
agate or porcelain, Iron can be used, but
it gives the fluid a yellow shade. After
dissoIving, add three quarts more hot
water and one ounce salts Of tartar, one
ounce or two tablespoonfuls of ammonia.
Stir, and set to cool; then bottle and put
out of the reach of mischevous fingers.
When washing day comes, take one
eHpfuI OF the fluid and put in the boiler
with three pajt~ of water, or enough to
wet the clothes nicely. Cut enough
common hard soap into it that you
would use to boil your clothes usually.
Then put in the cleaner clothes and let
them boil. Remove and put through two
waters. No fear need be had of putting
the towels and more soiled clothing into
the hot water after removing the first
boiling, for you will be surprised how
easily and quickly the dirt will be re-
moved.
l use a rub board through the first
water, as it is an easier way to get all the
streaks from the children's clothing, but
the sheets and pillow slips will be per-
feetly clear without any rubbing and the
clothes will be white enough to suit the
most particular OF housekeepers.

Comment by Rev. =. IL. Doyle.
ToPIC.-How to keep the Christian Endeavor
pledge.-Math XIV, l4-a0.
The p;raLle of the talents, which
forms our topical reference, was spoken
by Christ TO a mixed multitude on the
Mount of Olives a short time before His
crueifxion. II illustrates the faithful
and unfaithful use Of different gifts
md talents and the results. 1t may well
introduce US to the study Of the subject
of how we should keep the Christian
Endeavor pledge.
/, We should keep the pledge as a
duty and an opportunity from Christ,
In the parable Of the talents the master
who goes away and intrusts talents to
his servants represents Jesus Christ,
who has gone to heaven and left duties
and opportunities to His disciples. The
duties and opportunities Of the Endeavor
society as represented by the pledges are
obligations owed To Christ. We pledge
ourselves to Him. Our vows are given
not to the society, hut to Christ. We
promise Him that we Will do whatever
He would like to have us do. That mo
ment the Christian Eudeavor society
with all its opportunities for service be
comes hrist'S vineyard. The oppurtu
mites become talents infrusted by Him TO
US, to lie used for Him and to be &C
counted for to Him. II we would keep
these facts constantly i'll mind, We
would keep the pledge more faithfully.
, We should keep the pledge i'll ac-
cordance With our diversified gifts, All
the servants did not have the same
number Of talents. To one the master
gave five talents, to another two and to
another but one, according to the abll-
ity of each one. Christ has not given Us
all the same ability. To some He has
given five talents, to others but one.
This should not make those who possess
great ability proud and arrogant, but
humble and charitable, since it is gift
of Christ and since also great abilities
bring correspondingly great responsible
tiles. Nor should those who have but
one talent say, "Since | can do so little
I will do nothing" If Christ has only
given US one talent, He will only re-
quire US to account for one. but He will
call US to account for that one. The I'M
faithful servant did not escape punish
ment because he only had one talent.
He was held to as strict an account as
the servant who had five talents. With
all the ability, be it much or little
that the Master has given Us let US per
form the duties and obligations Of our
pledge.

Here are two good ways to cook apples,
which are now just hat the system
calls for:
Take Baldwin apples if you have them,
though any tart apples will do, dig out
the eyes and stems, cut cap from the
eye end, as boys cut a pumpkin fora jack
o'-lantern, dig out the core from this
opening and fill with sugar, replace he
top, set in pan with little water and
bake till the apples are soft through. If
very tart little sugar may be added to
the syrup. Serve with cream il liked and
they are good either hot or cold, but are
best when fresh from the oven.
Another way is to peel and quarter the
apples and after adding sufficient sugar
to sweeten them, steam till soft and
puffy. Serve like the others. A nice
sauce for them is made with beaten egg
and = to % cup of milk, a pinch Of salt,
tablespoonful OF sugar and little cassa
or lemon. This may be brought to a boi
to thicken little if preferred, but is nice
