SERMONETTES.


No man ever was convicted by scold-
Ing.
Daily bread is not sweet without
daily duty.
You cannot work for God without
love for men.
There is nothing resistless in the
restless life.
He only always is wise who ever Is
gaining wisdom.
The good we do is the best antidote
to the Ill we rue
You cannot lift the world by pulling
down your face.
An honest smile is worth ten million
sunless sermons.
Signing for lost Eden will not
make a new earth.
The double-faced man always is con-
vincing-to himself.
Days are sacred in proportion as
they serve high ends.
If your faith possesses your heart it
will propel your feet.
Many an alliance with sin is hidden
by a defiance of the devil.
The heart is dead when the smile of
a child cannot stir its depths.
People with putty heads usually like
to think they have brittle hearts.
The best way to worship the heav-
emily child is to give every child some
heaven.
Whether earth shall be like heaven
depends on whether heaven is in our
hearts.
Some men think the only way to
preserve the landmarks is to sit on
the fence.
Folks who take their time from every
clock are always sure the sun is off
his schedule.
Many are soured on life because they
have been trying to make its spice do
for the bread Of life.
You can teach a congregation to en-
JOY sermons of nothing but wind, but
they will die of their education.
When a man steals the honey from
sin he always tells himself that he will
pay for it with the coin of repentance.

found for the self, and that somehow
one may serve and help others?
If we put those two motives togeth-
er do We not have the highest and rich
est life the world has yet conceived?
The life lived out to its own fullness,
yet so lived only with the motive of
leading all lives out to their fullness, is
saved both from the paralysis of re-
nunciation and the grossness Of greed.
We ought to be the best we know /;
there is a moral and spiritual obliga-
ton on every one of us to find the fur
thest reaches Of life, to bring person
atty and powers TO their perfection.
Life Is ours only to make it larger.
These years are our opportunity to en-
rich all the years. No power, faculty,
or possibility is ours for which we
shall not have to render account at the
great assize of the universe and by its
laws Of LIES obligations.
Then comes the saving motive in this
process Of seeking the full life; 1t is
desired not for itself but for its ser
vice. We would make the most Of our
selves that we may have the more to
give to the friend, the neighbor, the
city, the times, our world.
In the exercise Of our powers for
others we secure their fullness for our
selves. No life finds It's fu1lness until
it finds the work 1t can do. No powers
remain ours save those we apply in ser
vice. That selfishness which grasps at
power only for purposes Of personal
profit brings upon itself the deepest
loss.
The good life Is the one that is great
with goodness, enriched with every re-
source, daily growing, becoming more
enjoying more, and finding such COM
pletion in the attempt to awaken dor
mant lives, to lift tagging lives, and to
lead its fellows into the life that Is
life indeed

Short Suggestions,

A tablespoonful of caramel added to
the pot of black coffee served after
dinner will add much to its flavor,
Mix pastry several hours before it IS
to be rolled out, and much labor is
saved and a better result obtained.
When brushing a room sweep toward
the fireplace, otherwise the draft from
the chimney draws the dust in that di-
rection.
Parmesan cheese sprirkled thickly
over stewed tomatoes that are later
Drowned in a baking dish gives them
an added Zest.
Break the eggs into a small-sized
funnel. The whites will all pass through
into the bowl below and the yolks will
be left in the funnel.
Try adding chopped figs to a nut and
apple salad The flavor Is immensely
improved. Not much Of the fig is used
just enough to give a suspicion of spicy
sweetness.
Cold shrimps or cold chicken cut into
dice, and mixed with cold peas, makes
a delicious leftover when creamed with
butter, salt, pepper and a little milk
or cream in chatting dish.
Turnips, carrots, onions and cabbage
should be boiled in great deal of
water, taken off Immediately and drain
ed. Too little water will turn them
dark, and overlooking destroys the
taste.
The cheaper grade of almonds with
hard shells are quite as good as the
Jordan almonds for sailing. They are
no more trouble to prepare if a ham
mer. or nut cracker is used to break
them.
To candy fruit for immediate use
make a strip which will crackle in a
glass of water. Dip each piece of fruit
with a fork into the taffy, then drop
into plate of powdered sugar. Use a
spoon TO dip juicy fruit
To temper lamp globes put them in
cold water, bring them to a boil and
let the water cool. Often a fancy
shaped globe cannot be matched, and
this treatment will prevent the usual
accidents that happen to untempered
glass.

DoN,Ts FOR CHURCHMEN.

Don't fail to learn that singing cures
more sorrow than signing.
Don't expect to open the doors Of
paradise by knocking the saints.
Don't expect to become welded to
truth by clipping with single idea
Don't forget that character is the only
absolutely Indispensable capital.
Don't hesitate to fight your appetite
if you would realize from your aspira-
lions.
Don't forget that only wings of pride
imagine themselves rising on the breath
Of applause.
Don't make the mistake Of substitute
ing the church as an institution for the
church as an aspiration.
Don't fail to observe that the valleys
of service everywhere outnumber the
mountains Of TRANSPORTATION.
