CHAPTER XVIII.

They had rough weather in the
Bay Of Biscay, storm and rain and
hail. Miss Somers was Frustrated by
seasickness, and Gertrude had been
obliged to keep her berth for days,
suffering, however, more from Ian
guor and listlessness, the loss of the
desire to be up and doing than from
any bodily i'll. DR.. Mansell was anx-
ious about her, and had to insist at
last upon her being dressed and made
to lie on a sofa in the boudoir, where
she could have fresh air and some
small change of scene to rouse her.
Old Lord Wartlebury came and talked
and read to her, and Miss Somers
crawled out of her cabin and did what
she could. Gertrude knew they were
all very kind, and felt grateful; and
because she was grateful, she felt i'm
PEELED to make an effort to please
them, and therefore summoned some
energy, and assumed an interest,
though she felt it not, in what they
said and did.
So they glided from the stony bay
through the narrow Pillars Of Her
cules into the Mediterranean, which
was sapphire blue and bright for
them. And then it was felt that
some change must be made, for the
ladies had been prisoners below so
far, and it was quite impossible for
things to go on like this much longer.
But if they left their retirement they
must meet the patient; and the ques-
ton was: What effect, good, or bad,
would the sight of them have upon
him? DR.. Manse1l said he> seemed
quite sane on all but two points-his
delusion about the appointment at
San Francisco and his utter oblivion
of everything relating to his past life.
He suffered from a perversion of
tastes, too, and a radical change of
tone, which was also no doubt the
direct result of the mental malady.

TemDerancc Notes.

A returning peace delegate declares
that drink is the worst enemy of Eng
land.
1t has been computed that 1,500,-
600 men and women in the United
States are daily, either mentally or
physically, disabled for work as the
result of drinking.
The man who has taken ven small
quantities of alcohol feels that his
brain is remarkably active and capa-
BILE of great thoughts, whereas in
reality his conceptions are ever so
much slower than natural.
If we could sweep intemperance
out of the land, said Phillips Brooks.
there would be hardly poverty enough
left to give healthy exercise to the
charitable impulses.
Said John Burns to an audience Of
workmen in London: 81 believe that
the best and most simple remedy for
drink is abstinence; but this must
be supplemented by local legislative
action"
The difficulty with liquor laws is
said to be that they are ahead of pub
lie sentiment. To which the Bos-
ton News once suggestively added:
That's what's the matter with iGs
Ten Commandments, too"

Arnold,

There are. renewed efforts to paint
Benedict Arnold in clean, white col.
ors. They remind me Of the follow
ing anecdote:
On one Of his raids Arnold cap
tured an American officer in Vir-
ginia. After a few days he said:
Captain, what would u country
men do with me IL they caught me?"
"Well sir" replied the captain, IF
must answer the question, I should
say they would first cut off your lame
leg. which was wounded in the cause
of freedom and virtue at Quebec, and
bury it with the honors of war; then
they would hang the remainder of
your carcass on a gibbet!" New

A Worldly Church.

The present tendency toward a
questionable liberalism in the church,
and toward a mere formality in re-
ligion which is devoid of vital godli-
ness, has been sounded at Richmond,
Va, by the Bishop of London, who
was a visitor at the sessions OF, the
Episcopal Church. The bishop said:
Il have no means of knowing the
trend Of religious thought in the
United States, but from my expert
ence of east, north and west London,
the future lies with no church which
sinks to what is called the new the
Ology. Z
AFTER all Is said and done. the
most evangelistic, the most catholic,
the most orthodox church on earth
will produce no effect upon the world
If it has not still one further char
acteristic. It must clearly and un-
mistakably, and before all the world,
be unworldly itself. Bear with me,
then, when / say, as my last word,
that the greatest danger to the
church on both sides of the Atlantic
Is worldliness.
I'm one sense, 1t is Impossible for
tie church to mix too freely with
the world. Into the slums Of East
London, into the business of Wall
Street, into the mining camps of
Klondike, the church must 60, and
no human interest in the world is
outside the interest of the church.
"But, on the other hand, to run
a church as q man runs a successful
business, to depend upon cleyerness
and management rather than the
grace of God, to neglect prayer and
lntercession in favor of influence with
the press, to lower the teaching iof
the church on its moral, standard; in
order to suit a self indulgent age, is
TO spell ruin and failure and shame
for the most orthodox church In the
world. In a voice which still rings
down the centuries, Jesus Himself
2roclains, my kingdom is not of this
world Detroit News-Tribune.

A Two.sided Justification.

A careful study of Romans 1923.
26, R. ", clearly shows justification
has a twofold aspect. The character
Of God had been questioned through
the ages during which sin had been
apparently allowed to go on un-
checked, and it was therefore essen
tial that His character should be vim
dicated to the world. This is what
is meant by the justification of God
to man. At the same time, it was
equally necessary that man should be
justified before God in order to be
saved to all eternity, and the New
Testament term righteousness" in
cludes Gods personal righteousness
as vindicated by the Cross and Gods
justifying Righteousness as provided
through the Cross. Calvary Is at
once the justification of God to man,
and the justification Of man before
God. - Rev. w. H. Griffith Thomas,
in London Christian.

Pleat It Loosely at Night.

At night a little girls hair should
never be tightly curled or pleated If
you want it to grow thick and long,
but be very loosely done in two
pleats, so that In the morning there
are practically no tangles to be
combed out. What does it matter II
they don't look particularly pretty, SO
long as children are healthy and
happy? That Is the great point and
1t is far better for a girl to have
straight hair in nursery days than to
have no hair at all, or only very
skinny locks, when she grows to
womanhood-a quite possible result
of over-much crimping and curling.
Do all you can to make it grow, and
don't bother about kinks, and you
will earn your child's gratitude, not
only while she is in the nursery, but
all her life long.-Hohe Chat

The lessons of the quarter extend
oyer a period of 81 years. They are
all concerned with the life and words
of David and Solomon. A profitable
review could be conducted along the
line Of what the lessons teach about
God. Another would be to study the
teaching about sin, its consequences
and pardon. Material for such re-
views can be found In the notes. Still
another reveiw would be to get each
member of the class to give the cen
trail teaching OF the lesson. A NUM-
Der Of opinions will be given about
the teaching in each lesson. The fol-
lowing are given simply as sugges-
tions:
Lesson 1.-The necessity OF serv-
ing God in the precise waysHis Word
instructs.
Lesson H.-God's superaboundtng
grace; David purposed to build God az
house and God covenanted to build
him a house and to establish his
house and his kingdom forever.

NOW DOUBLE FUDGE
SOMETHING NEW IN THIS EVER
POPULAR SWEET.
White Fruit and Wellesley Style Both
Declared to Be Delicious-im-
provenlent If Butter 10
Not Cooked.

Who remarked that the last word
has been said on the fudge question
There is something new even of the
fudge variety. at least, that is whaI
the guests at an informal party where
double" fudge was passed thought.
To make it boil two cupfuls of gran
ulated sugar, half cupful rich milk
two squares of chocolate and tea
spoonful of butter until it forms q
soft bail when dropped into cold wa
ter. Heat until grained and turn into
shallow pan. Then boil two cupfuls
of brown sugar and cupful of mila
until at the soft ball stage; add tea
spoonful of butter, a cupful of nut
meats and a teaspoonful of vanilla
beat until creamy and turn over tbs
other fudge. When cool mark off int
squares.
Wise ones in the science of fudgers
in general do net cook the butter Blu
add it just before the syrup comes
from the stove. If time is limited ths
fudge can be FASTENED by using hah
the quantity of liquid (milk) but the
fudge is apt to have a coarser grain
The usual chocolate or cream fudg'
is sometimes turned over marshmal
lows arranged on the buttered par
or over broken nut meats or candiec
cherries
Several girls lately have deserted
their old friend, plain fudge. for white
fruit fudge For this they boil two
cupfuls of granulated sugar and cup
full of milkSuntil the syrup forms soft
ball when dropped into cold water
They then add teaspoonful OF butter
and a cupful of nut meats, dates, figs
and raisins that have been run tcgeth
er through the chopper. They beat
until the candy is nearly stiff and Their
turn on to buttered tin and mark OF
in squares.
For cream nut fudge, use two cup
fuls of granulated sugar, cupful o.
milk, a teaspoonful of butter, and a
large cupful of nut meats-English
walnuts are good, but still better are
butternuts. Cook the milk and suga,
to the soft ball stage and then add
the nuts and butter and stir until the
syrup grains.
Marshmallow fudge, which has beer
the Waterloo of many good cand,
makers, is delicious IL the marshmal
lows get melted enough before the
fudge hardcns. This is the way thes
make it at Wellesley: A pound ttwt
cupfuls) of graduated sugar and
cupful of rich milk are heated togeth
er, two squares of chocolate are stirred
in, and the mixture boiled until 1t is
waxy when rolled between the fingers
Just before the last stage is reached
a small piece of butter is added aao
half a pound OF marshmallows are
stirred in, little by little, crushing and
beating each as it goes in. The syrup
is then turned into buttered shallow
pan, and when it begins to harden is
cut into squares.
