To Ereshen Air.

To freshen the air of a sickroom, ground coffee should be sprinklcd on a shovel or coal-scoop previously heated in the fire A match should then be held to a small piece of camphor-gum, and when this is alight it should be placed in the center of the shovel. The burning coffee gives an aromatic aroma to the room, which is very re- freshing.

RECIPES AND HINTS.

When baking fish, line the pan with
creased paper. 1t will wash much easier
1t is a handy economy to save the
gummed flaps Of unsealed envelopes and
lay them aside for various purposes. They
are handy for mending torn book leaves,
labelling fruit jars, etc. Many advertise
ments can be made useful.
Potato BEER YEAsr-Cook three good
sized potatoes, mash, stir in two table
spoons OF salt and three Of sugar, add one
pint of the water in which the potatoes
were boiled for every loaf OF bread
wanted. When this is milk-warm, add
one yeast cake fany good kind will do TO
start it). In the morning take out one
pint OF the foamy "beer" and put in a
cool place until next baking day. Then
use it instead OF the dry yeast, always
saving out one pint for starter. II is easy to
renew, and the bread will equal Fieisch-

Prayer Meeting Topic For the Week
BEGINNING March %. 1918.

Se9iNHtH9 March ESr sSfos
Topic.-vital living: the lesson of Eas-
teri Cor. iv. SIS Edited by Rev. Sher-
man II. Doyle, d. ..
Easter throbs with the idea of life
1t comes at the season of the year
when life in the natural world, which
has lain dormant for SO long. once
more manifests itself.
The ancient festival Of Easter was
tribute to the Goddess of Spring, the
time of new life in the natural world.
The Christian Easter celebration COM
memorates the resurrection of our Lord
and Saviour Jesus Christ from the
dead-His rising to new life IL also
speaks to us of moral and spiritual
life through faith In the crucified and
risen Lord. Since He was our repre-
sentative we died with Him, and In
Him we rise from moral and spiritual
death to moral and spiritual life. The
vital living referred to is therefore the
Christian life. spiritual life, apart from
the new life Of the body which will
come with its resurrection.
Christianity is d life. 1t Is not a
code of morals or some form Of ethical
philosophy. Before we become Chris
tians we are dead in trespasses and
In SINS" and to become one we must
be born again"
The spirit of Cod must change our
natures, which are sinful, and implant
within us the spirit Of divine life.
which comes through faith IN Christ
and communion with Him. In the
parable of the vine and branches
Christ Himself teaches the doctrine
that Christianity Is life. Paul de-
clares, 1T is no longer | that live, but
Christ liyeth in me-" The mystery of
such a life is apparent, but the fact
cannot be questioned. But why need
we worry about our inability TO ex-
plain life in union with Christ when
physical life, even in its humblest
forms, is as great a mystery?
Christian life to be vital must be
constantly nourished. In all the realm
of nature there is no form of life that
lives upon itself In every sphere Of
life the appropriation Of outward ele-
ments is essential to sustentation and
growth The soul must also be nour-
ished, and God has provided the means
of grace by which this can be done.
There must be daily communion with
Christ. the reading and study of the
Scriptures, private and public worship
and active engagement in Christian
service. There must be spiritual "ex-
ercise unto goodness" They that
wait upon the Lord shall renew their
strength"
Easter should inspire US with a new
desire for vital living. II we have
been careless and Indifferent we should
be filed with a new zeal for service at
the thought of Christ's new life and
the assurance that We. too, shall rise
again and live in communion with
Him forever
