Drain carefully, remove all bits of
shell, and sprinkle with pepper and salt,
and set in a cool place for ten or Is
minutes. Then, if oysters are small,
pour them into pan of crackers rolled

stand five minutes, add little salt and
pepper, mould into small cakes with two

Father, guide them;
Oh! we know not what of harm
May betide them!
Meath the shadow of Thy wing, p
Father, hide them;
Waking, sleeping, Lord, we pray,
Go beside them
When in prayer they cry to Thee,
Do Thou hear them;
From the stains of sin and shame
Do Thou clear them;
Mid the quicksands and the rocks
Do Thou steer them;
In temptation, trial, grief,
Be Thou near them.
Unto Thee we give them up,
Lord, receive them
In the world we know must be
Much to grieve them
Many striving oft and strong
To deceive them;
Trustful, in Thy hands of love
We must leave them.

Home.
Since the world began the human
heart has loved a home.
Aye, even the birds that build their
Tiny nests in the leafy trees; the ami
mails that burrow into the ground, or
that select their lair among the rocks
and IN the jungles and in the forests, are
each and all endowed by an all-wise
creator with an instructive affection for
permanent abiding place. Taken
either fguratively or literally Eden was
the home of the God-made pair of hu
man beings, and they wept when thew
were driven from it.
The history of the world is a history
OF human struggle for home.
Among the Egyptians, the Persians.
the Jews, the Romans, the Greeks. and.
in later days, the Normans, the Saxons
the Gauls, the Britons, men were bat
thing for homes
The inspiring thought of nearly every
historical invasion was land on which
to settle and build up homes.
Immense bodies of men, armed and
equipped for war, took their wives and
children with them, ready to settle upon
conquered or newly discovered terri
tory.
Since the Pilgrims landed upon the
bleak shores of Massachusetts the west
ern tide of empire has been sustained
by the desire to obtain land and build
homes
The longing for a home animates the
heart of the emigrant as he crosses the
ocean to the new world, the same as it
does the western settler who JOURNEYS

women today what of all things thew
