rIMELY TEsTEo REcIPEs.

Dear Editor of the Social Corner: Herewith I send few recipes and hints:
 Cranberry Fluff: Cook one quart of cranberries in one half pint of wa ter until they pop open, then run through a colander. Use a four sitter instead of & colander, as it saves time; add the same amount of sugar as you have of berry pulp, and boil until as thick as maTmalade. When cool add the whites of three eggs beaten stiff Fold well together and bake until it sets, fire or ten minutes; serve cold with whipped cream
 To Keep Cloth From Freezing: Throw a handful of coarse salt in the last rinsing water and cloths hung out during winter weather will not freeze.
 To Remove Walnut Stains from Clothes: Saturate the garment well with kerosene oil and wash in warm water. Afterward boil them, and the stain will disappear.
 Annette: Why don't you write Co me. The plants are all alive that you sent me.
 Lucy Acorn: Hope you are having a pleasant Christmas.
 I wish all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

LITTLE SAMUEL

When little Samuel was old enough to understand what was said to him, his parents. Rev. NIT. Symond and wife, endeavored to instilI right prin- ciples into his little mind especially that of obedience and of keeping ones promises.
 Samuel was four years old, and like all boys in general active, mischievous, persistent and a little inclined to be self-willed. Belle, the maid, would oftentimes yield to his persistency and mamma could not always withstand his childish, artful affectionate man. ner, so he sometimes had his own way. But papa's word was law, so he never coaxed or fattered him, and after one or two punishments Samuel learned to answer his fathers call at once.
 The Rev. Mir. Symond's house was situated so near the church that one could sit in the study window, or on the veranda and hear the music and sermon. One particular summer Sum- day morning the minister and his wife left their little son on the pleas ant veranda with Belle, who was read ing, and the little fellow was seated on the floor looking at pictures
 Rev. Mr. Symond discoursed that morning on The Child Samuel, and the scripture lesson was the third chapter of Samuel, which told of the 1OTu $ Sc1huSA- uC LltLiO fellow on the piazza heard his name and ere he could rise to his feet. he heard it again. Not realizing any thing but the fact that his father call ed him. he shouted ''Ise coming. Dad dy," and trudged away as fast as his chubby little legs would permit.
 The paftering of his little feet on the steps and gravel aroused the sleeping maid, who hastened after the little fellow and overlook him just as he was about to run up the center aisle of the church. She was persuad- ing him to return home with her, just as his father read the tenth verse and as the child caught the words, Samuel, Samuel, he called out in a choking voice, 'Ise coming, Daddy, if you will tell Belle to let me go.''
 Mrs. Symond knew her sons voice and rose quickly, while the astonished people turned their heads and smiled when they saw the curly haired little fellow endeavoring to convince man. ma that daddy wanted him. The min ister waited. hoping that Samuel would listen to his mamma, then with merry twinkle in his eye he looked down upon his congregation whose heads were turned towards the door, land said:
Norwich bulletin., 1914-12-26

Please excuse me-
 Then he stepped to the right and stopped at the head of the steps and said:
 Samuel. mamma will excuse you, so come and sit with daddy"
 The child ran up the aisle. One could see the smiles on his face, al- though the tears were chasing each other down his cheeks. His father gathered him in his arms, whispered in his ear. then placed him on the sofa, after which he turned and be- gan his discourse.
 Samuel sat there contented and happy. but many of the younger peo- pie and perhaps a few of the older ones must have strained their necks as they tried to peep and see if they could see the little fellow. Only once did he utter a word and that was when his name was repeated again. Then he slipped off the sofa and looked up at his father. saying:
 'Why, daddy. have not gone away: Ise right here"
 Rev. MT. Symond stopped and as he took his boy in his arms he again whispered in his ear, then turned and finished his discourse. The eyes of the congregation were upon their min ister. They were either impressed with the words uttered, or with the picture before them of a man standing with his child's curly head nestling on his shoulder. After the benedic- ton the minister hurried to the out CT door and stood with his little son by his side to shake hands with every one as usual.
 Nearly everyone either spoke to the little lad, or of him to his father, who could not resist saving with a hu- morous smile to some of the young people, 'I pass over the scene at the door, but afterwards his behavior was better than that of some other per- sons Don't you think so?s'
 Those who had been uneasy and peered about took the rebuke in the same Good-natured manner as it was given.
 On reaching homo the minister and his wife halted in the hall to exchange few words. then they laughed heart fly for second. Samuel's father took him on his knee and told him that he was net calling him, but that he was telling the people of the boy Samuel in the Bible. He also told him that he was a good boy to come to daddy when he called him, and he must re- member another time. even if he was calling him, to stop and hear what mamma wished to say to him DIANA.

Dear Social Corner Sisters:-This is just a chat from Paula.
 Do people in general know how to appreciate the true spirit of the Christmas festivities? Are our chill dren brought up with the correct dis cernment of the motive of giving gifts on this day?
 A few are taught what to give and how to give, but to some Christmas means only hard work, worry and anxiety, to gather with the giving or useless gifts, perhaps, to some person or persons who do not in the least ap- preciate them.
 We should try and give of our love, mercy, kindness. hospitality and com panionsf,ip. Some poor souls are more in need of sympathy, advice, friends and counsel than they are of any ma terial gift which money could possibly buy; and the beauty of giving such gifts is the more you give the more you have.
 How truly wonderful it is that Christ gave gifts eternal and gifts which could not have been purchased with a thousand pieces of gold.
 Thankfulness should help us to make the birthday of the Saviour one If joy and peace to some unfortunate. Nn opportunity is always given for the promotion of good deeds for poor peo- pie. If every person on the face Of the earth who pretends to have Christ in his heart should do one good deed, help one poor soul, then how happy each would be and Christ's birthday would really mean Peace on earth, good will toward men,"
 Wishing you all 8 Merry Christmas.
 PAULA.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.

Dear Editor and Friends: Repeated efforts have not been successful in my getting a letter to our beloved Corner, so I will make another at tempt.
 I wonder how many enjoyed the ice storm as did. There is nothing that gives one the feeling of seclusion like a good storm: a feeling of freedom, knowing you have an excuse for de- mands upon your time connected with outside activities, unless you are obliged to battle with storm and weather to get to your place of bus mess or work, but that is a disagree able feature of the case I am not con- sidering.
 How beautiful everything looked when the sun came out in dazzling splendor.
 There ought not be any sore toes around The Corner this winter with so many remedies rfor chilblains. I, too. have been victim, recently, and as I have stated before, a very good and lime water, thoroughly shaken. What is good for a burn Is also ~ood for chilb'ains. Sometimes I. have had to. use scraped raw potato to stop the itching and give relief.
 ' was amused at how near Betsey Bohbett came to the reality of things in her good story. For her benefit l will say I have a blank book now in my drawer for that very purpose. but it is very incomplete as yet
 At this season when our thought is full of love for those near and dear to us, and our hands busy makir 2 tokens of that love. to give to those we wish to remember; also remem- bering to bring cheer to those who are less fortunate, the poor and needy, through all the demands upon our time ard thought I wish to remind our sisters of our shut-in sister, Di- ana. and show our love and thought of her at this time.
 I was surprised to find some of our number. this summer that had not heard of our almost helpless invalid sister that is cheered by any atten- ton we show her: a card or letter or some small gift she can enjoy; anything you would like yourself if you were in her place, and can't get about at "' or walk a step. or even do much help support herself or the wido' sister with whom she lives. One year we sent small sums such a way that they were a source of delight as we'll as useful and neces- sary. She is also glad to receive post age stamps-canceued, but not torn.
 I suggest we give her a shower this Christmas, as I know she will be pleased at our thought of her and will rejoice for weeks to come over anything we may send from a postal card to a dollar bill
 One of our thoughtful sisters has subscribed for The Courier for her so she keeps in touch with each and every one of us and has more leisure

 He became so thoroughly ashamed of himself that he got over that fool ishness.
 Avoid arguing. It is very seldom 1t amounts to anything. Don't forget the old saying: "To convince a fool against his will, he is of the same opinion still"
 Don't forget to have his laundry in order and in place.
 Money matters have caused much dissatisfaction with young people. have known husbands to lay money aside for some purpose and the wife has taken it for something she fan cied- If possible try and have your own private purse. It does render a woman so independent.
 It is not always that a mans income may be judged by his wife's clothes, for often she has an income Of her own.
 Try and study the husbands likes and dislikes- If he wants to smoke a cigar in the best room, let him. Never mind about the lace curtains getting smoked up. Just keep in mind there will be plenty of lace curtains when both are dead and gone.
 It is a sad thing when a man mar ries that he does not realize a girl has mind of her own, and usually likes to use her mind once in while.

Don't talk about your husband What you have to say-say it to him, and be careful to say it Tn a nice, quiet way.

HOW TO ROAST THE CHRISTMAS
 BIRD.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner. You will see by this letter that I am home again after an absence of four weeks.
 I wish to thank all the Sisters for the cards I found waiting for me on my arrival home. L will answer each one personally later.
 I wish to tell the Sisters that while away I had the pleasure of meeting BalSam Fir. She certainly is one jolly good person to meet, and she sends all kinds of good wishes to everyone in The Corner.
 I am going to send you A Good Way to Roast the Christmas Bird; For a turkey weighing about ten pounds make a nice dressing; cut off all crust be dried and rolled on kneading board. With a coarse grater and the hands, rub the bread till 1t is quite crumbly: to this add a tablespoon of salt, half a tablespoon of Bells poultry seasoning; rub these through the crumbs; add half 8. cup of butter, rub hing it well into the crumbs; moisten this with broth that has cooked the giblets: stuff both. breast and body with this and truss the turkey very carefully. If well skewered it need not be sewed After it has been skewered, salt; then dredge with flour and put in the pan.
 Put in a well heated oven with a pint of water boiling hot, and in five minutes begin to baste. After three hastings, once in ten minutes, dredgs with flour again. Then lessen the heat of the oven to a more moderate degree Turn the turk" over about half an hour before it is done, that it can be browned evenly.
 Gravy for the same: Boil the neck, heart, gizzard and liver in one quart of water till tender; chop the heart and liver and gizzard very fine. Pour this into the pan after the turkey is taken up. When it boils, add two ta- blespoons of flour, stirred, smooth in a little cold water: season to taste. probably half a teaspoon of salt and about quarter of a teaspoon of black pepper may be added. Let this simmer slowly at the back of the stove for about ten minutes. then pour into gravy boat and serve hot. This is very good giblet gravy.
 Wishing all a Merry Christmas and Happy New V""~

Daily Bread,

Before you pray at the foot of the bed "Gtve Us this day our daily bread" Come with me and learn to say: ''T et me know what I must pay Ere T kneel before the Cross; Teach me now tO count the loss Men a~d women starving now Men who toiIed behind the plow'' Know ne as break my bread.'' That i@ what the Master said; Do this simple act and be 1E communion with Me- Can your heart be near to Christ While these men are sacrificed? Do not shut your eyes to pray; Open eyes have most to say; Leave the darkness to the blind, And the idle words behind Men and women starve tonight: Can your bread be VERY white? --Dougla Nassie. in Labor Leader
