R OF COURAGE.
Knowledge of Gods Presence
Mistakes Bound to Occur.

Jesus invited men TO courage on the
ground of Gods good will. Fear not,
little flock, for it is your Fathers good
pleasure to give you the kingdom"
There is this deep and broad distinction
between Christian courage and any form
of stoicism; that it % and lives in
the atmosphere Of Gods presence. 1t is
the courage of the child rather than of
the soldier. Though ready to endure and
strive, a y the Boston Congregational
list, though DESTROYS of all the soldier
like qualities, assurance comes because
God is our helper and not because we are
strong. In acknowledging our weak
ness we are facing the facts of life. In
trusting God for help we are putting on
the armor which secures us against as
saults of pride.
One of the crying needs of our own
time is Christian courage. We are not
to be secure by putting ourselves on the
defensive. but by acting for God. 1t is
not good praise for a Christian to say
that he never makes mistakes. You
might in these same terms praise a stone
in the pavement, or a knothole in a
board. The real question is whether the
Christian is attempting anything for
Christ. If so, he will be sure to make
mistakes; we may say, indeed, without
irreverence, that God intended him to
run the risk of laundering, for that seems
to be the only way of learning open to
us mortal men.
The true courage is willing to risk mis-
takes, if it can only accomplish
thing. The one thing it is forever I'M
ture. We al only understand it when
we define our life in terms of acquaint-
ance with God. He who always
recognizes Christ's presence is not
afraid that blunders arising out of we'll
considered and unsel1sh effort can be
irretrievable. True Christian courage
recognizes more than Christ's presence;
it feels the impulse of His trust. Christ
believes in us. He has intrusted His
honor to our hands. Therefore we may
go on, w%atchfully indeed. but without
fear, to any work to which His voice
may call us. The Holy Spirit is our
guide, and we are listening for the indi-
cations of His purpose. We are not
afraid that, whether through us, to our
happiness. or without us, to our shame,
His purposes can fail.
Optimism may be a mood. passing, as
moods pass. into it's opposite, discour-
agement and despair. 1t should be rath-
er a form of courage founded on a child's
faith in the good will of his Heavenly
Father. So it becomes at once indie
pendent of our feelings and surround
ings and a help to others. How much
we all lean on men who have the
steady cheer of this u%nvarying Chris
tian courage! To look for the best. not
because the world is good, but because
God is working in it to bring about His
purposes. which cannot but be good: to
cultivate the social love which seeks the
best in man to count disbursement a
forgetfulness of God, and idleness an in
gratitude, this is the way of courage and
of JOY, which is at once becoming and re-
warding to the children of Cod

DINNERS FOR SMALL INCOMES.
Dishes Few in umber and Excellent
in Quality Should Be
the Aim.

Ordering the dinner is to any Of us
women a very serious and often try
ing ordeal, particularly when hampered
by the smallness of the housekeeping
allowance. We are apt hen to think
how easy it is for u more lucky SIS
tiers who can buy the pick of the mar
ket and command the services Of first
rate cooks, etc, W. may find comfort
in the knowledge that it is by NO
means always in these establishments
that the most enjoyable dinners are
served, says the American Queen.
The men of the family are more or
less critical in regard to the principal
meal of the day, and it is best, for
the general peaca, to spend a little
time in thinking out the menu and
yourself superintend the laying of the
table, so that you are sure the glass
and silver are irreproachable, and the
flowers freshly arranged.
Do not aim at a number of dishes.
A soup, joint or bird and a pudding,
with well-cooked vegetables, will be
ample, and may be varied another
night with fish, a made dish of some
kind, and a savory, the last mentioned
frequently being preferred to any
sweet.
There are so many inexpensive and
appetizing sweets and savories that no
one need be at a loss, more especially
II you or some members Of your fam
lily understand enough cooking to pre-
pare some of the dishes yourself.
