If sin be considered a disease, Jesus is
the great physician who cures it. If it be
considered a flood he stays it.; a fire, he
quenches it; an enemy, he conquers it.
Jesus Christ is the worlds savior. not by

of God. All philosophy and all science are
swallowed up in the depth of the riches

Sin shall not always have its mad riot. Men
are not always to be the victims Of their
passions. for the promise is sure: "He shall
save His people from their SINS"

Cake.
The greater part of the preparation for a
basket lunch should be made the day before.
Meats should be cooked cooled, chopped,
seasoned and put in the refrigerator; if to
be taken in slices, a very sharp knife should
be used and the sliced meat wrapped in a
damp napkin. If the start is to be very
early one, the sandwiches may be made up
the night before and similarly wrapped to
prevent drying. All sorts OF filings may be
used for the sandwiches, chopped and sea-
Soned meat being, as q rule, most popular
for those who prefer the plain bread and
butter. Cakes should be baked In gem or
patty pans, as they will carry best; jelly
and cream cakes should be left at home.

for wrapping, as ii is impervious TO doors;
