To Iron Silk.

Commence, as in washing, with the
white and light-colored silks. Smooth
the silk out well on the ironing table,
place an old handkerchief or a piece
Of thin muslin over it, and iron with q
moderately hot iron. When partially
dry remove the covering, iron the silk
with the bare iron, and in the case
Of scarf or handkerchief, first on
one side and then on the other to pro-
duce gloss. If the silk should feel
in the least stiff or hard, shake 1t out
rub it between the hands and iron
again. When finished it should be an
smooth and as soft as when new.
Some silks, such as ribbons and
corded silks, are better kept covered
all the time, as the iron gives them
a glaze which is not suitable; discre-
ton must be used in this matter.
When ironing bright.colored silks put a
piece of muslin or old linen over the
ironing sheet to prevent its being
stained.

God Speaking to the Soul.

It has been remarked that "the subject
Of the first chapter of uenesis is not the
creation, but the Creator; what it gives us
is, not n world, but God"
Let those who will search the Scriptures
for the light they shed on past concep-
tons OF science and upon the history of a
unique race in the annals of the world.
Let them study their literary development,
and seek thus a keener appreciation OF the
men who wrote them. They cannot fail
to be enlightened and interested. But the
sincere Christian approaches the Scrip
lures with different interest and purpose.
He passes over the historical, the literary
and the scientific features of the Bible
with small attention to his passionate
search for that which the Scriptures are
designed to reveal--namely, the person,
will and work of God, and the nature and
relationships of man. From Genesis to
Revelation-in history, in law, in psalm
and prophecy, in parable and epistle and
Apocalypse, on every page, God speaks to
the human soul.-Rev. George L. Bates.

How Can We Enlarge and Improve

where is the fruit? Where is their
unselfish toll for others? Where Is
the self-sacrifce, so essential to the
enlargement of Christian work?
What do such know Of denying them.

following in the footsteps of Him who
showing of leaves might answer, II
the tree were not designed and con.
structed for fruit-bearing. This
teaches that God expects us to carry
out the plan be has decided upon for
every life.
Christians who are typified by the
fig tree are those who fail to utilize
their powers for personal development
and consequently do not bring forth
the fruit that they should for others.
The fig tree had gone far enough to
have a large supply Of leaves, but 1t
was seriously lacking in completeness.
With people as with the tree, the pen.
atty for not bearing fruit Is loss Of
capacity for fruit-bearing. Charles
Dickens describes a visit to what he
calls Skitzland. A man digging a hole
in the earth broke through the crust
and fell into the interior. Here he
found a strange world. It had one
striking peculiarity. For example,
their children at certain age, how
ever perfect in body previously, found
that the parts Of the body not exercis.
ed became incapable Of use at all,
leaving only dangling bones. A
coachman, for instance, had only
stomach and hands. A lawyer had no
use Of his legs. but protruded an i'm.
mehse jaw. The butterflies of fash.
ion were only bundle Of nerves,
with bewitching eyes ever in motion.
Unused powers become atrophied.
Fig trees that bear no fruit dry up at
the roots.
Nearly all our finest-f1avored domes.
tic fruits have been developed from
very inferior wild ones. Every com.
mon virtue Of the natural, mregener.
abed man may be greatly improved by
the touch of Christ. BY the real work
OF the Holy Spirit every grace of the
soul Is lifted to higher efficiency and
greater beauty and richer flavor.

What God Is:

Home is the first school. There is no
education like that which it can give.
There is no influence such as it may exert.
1t has its elements of authority 1t carries
its splendid sovereignty throughout its en-
tire domain. But such authority and sov.
ereignty! Would it not have been better
had always been interpreted and illumin-
ated by this supreme thought of home?
Was it not a mistake to abandon this most
precious of our earthly relationships and
seek instead to understand our Heavenly
Father by means of earthly monarchs and
earthly courts of law? Instead of taking
the best in human life as a means of inter-
taken the second best? Can we ever exag.
gerate what God is? Can we ever make
Him seem too good? Rather, is it not our
danger that we shall make Him too mea.

A Dish Draiper.

A dish drainer that was thought out
by an invalid whose mind is much
stronger than her body. 1t was so
cleverly thought out that it saves at
least one-third of the work-the great,
great work-of dish drying. The dishes
are firmly held at their lower edges
and cannot slip because Of curved re-
cesses in the bottom of the wire
basket. They are rlnsed on both sides
at the same time and do not steam.
There is a central basket which holds
knives, forks and spoons upright, in
suring perfect drainage and prevent
ing soaking and loosening Of knife

Gods Best Gift.

We have but narrow and unworthy
conception OF prayer if our only thought
of it is making requests OF God. In human
friendship it would be very strange if
there were never fellowship save when
there were favors to ask the one of the
other. Loves sweetest hours are those in
which two hearts commune on themes
dear to both, but in which neither has any
request to make.
The truest, loftiest prayer is one OF com
munion when we speak to God and He
speaks to us. The deepest answer we can
have to our praying il not Gods gifts,
however precious these may be, but God
Himself, His love, His grace. The prayer
that rises highest and Is divinest. is that
in which We lose ourself in God, when God
Himself is all about US, filling US, inspir-
ing our dull life with His own infinite
blessedness. II. Miller.
