SUPPER the PRINCIPAL MEAL
In Former Times MONDAY DINNER"
Was Only Luncheon, According
to English Ideas.

The change in mealtimes is eyi.
denced by the old rhyme:
To rise at five and dine at nine.
To sup at five and bed at nine
WIN make a man live to ninety-nine
But one suspected that the change
is in the names of the meals rather
than in the hours. Our ancestors
would have termed our luncheon din
ner, and our dinner supper II is a
curious fact that in some of the Ok
ford colleges, where the founders
made allowances for the meals of the
students, a much larger sum is al
lotted for supper than for dinner, i'm
plying that the former was the more
substantial meal. Taken at five or six
O'Clock, it was really early dinner"
Some particulars of the mealtimes
of our ancestors may be found in Will
liam Harrison's Description of Eng
land" published 1887:
with us the nobility, gentry and
students do ordinarily go to dinner at
eleven before noon, and to supper at
five or between five and six at after,
noon. The merchants dine and sup
seldom before twelve at noon, and six
at night, especially in London. The
husbandmen dine also at high noon
as they call it, and sup at seven OF
eight but out of the term in our uni
versities the scholars dine at ten. As
for the poorest sort they generally
dine and sup when they may, so that
to talk of their order of repast it we're
but a needless matter. = London

lENRlNETEEN hundred years
MN ago q star poised above 9
N2SA lowly manger in Bethle
EHSvN hem, and above the moon
lit hills of Judea the an
gels heralded the beginning of the life
of Jesus Christ upon this earth. And
once more the birthday of the Saviour
approaches.
How fast these festal days follow
one another! Only few days ago
was penning a Thanksgiving day mes
sage. Now we are looking forward
with happy hearts and bright antici
pations to Christendom's great gift
giving day.
Gratitude inspires in US the grace
of giving.
Gratitude is the great Original
source of noble living and service
just as sin is the original source anC
root of all selfishness. The great all
seeing eye of God, as it surveys this
planet, with all its scenes of revelry
and its riot of sin. beholds but one
fostering ulcer-selfishne ness-and gaZei
upon one thing of great beauty-gratl
tude-which recognizes in every neeC
of man the voice of God,
The immortal Frances E. Willard
said: 81 regard ingratitude as one oi
the basest of sins"
The Psalmist said: What shall
render unto the Lord for all his good
ness to me?" Then answers his own
question by saying: 81 will take the
cup of salvation and call upon the
name of the Lord"
Never before have we so seriously
faced the question of our obligation to
Almighty God There are thousands
of heavyrhearted, world-worried men
and women who will never find life
worth living until their lives are
linked with Jesus Christ.
There is no safety save in service
We must use or lose. The Dead sea
gives nothing out, and that's why 1t is
dead. Many lives are like the Dead
sea- If you would have the Joy OF
Christmas, you must find it in doing
what Jesus did. He went about do
ing good. No one will ever find the
Christian secret of happy life save
by trying to make it easier for others
to do right and harder to do wrong.
There is Joy in lifting any burdens
Of others, as the little girl found 1t
who was carrying her baby brother
across the street. He was almost as
big as she was.
Isn't he heavy?" asked passer-by.
"Oh, no; he's my brother"
You cannot be Christian without
being a good fellow in the sense of
trying to help others to be good, or,
as someone has put it, Except you
erect the cross in your own heart,
Jesus will profit you nothing"

All That Man May Do.

The maximum achievement of any
mans life, after it is all over, is tC
have done the will of God. No mar
or woman can have done any more
with life; no Luther, no Spurgeon
no Wesley, no Melancthon can have
done any more with their lives, and g
dairymaid or a scavenger can do as
much. Therefore, the supreme princi
pie upon which we have to run our
lives is to adhere, through good report
and Ill, through temptation and pros
perity and adversely, to the will oi
God, wherever that may lead u.s.

Work.

II above other things in this trou-
bled and somewhat tangled world
there is one thing which brings good
cheer and help to US, it is to see q
mans life not shrinking from its duty,
resolute under all things to work its
will, bearing the ineffaceable marks Of
real and unconQuerable manhood.
We have many callings, God clearly
sending some of US to one kind Of
work, and others of US to other work.
But we are all equally bound to put
our hands to work so that altogether
we may help on the world. Wick

BEST WAY TO CURE
COLD IN CHEST

Doctors advise not to allow cold in
chest or sore throat to hang on. Pneu-
monia ofttimes results. The minute
your chest or throat shows signs of
soreness rub on true Mustarine,
which only costs about 25 cents, and
which any druggist can give you in
the original yellow box.

it ends cold in chest overnight.-AdV.

white fondant, press it into a small
biscuit tin that has been well creased; I;
on top of this layer press a pink one,
then layer of yellow and lastly a
layer that has been favored with
chocolate. When ready to unmold
turn out and cut in thin slices, wrap
each in waxed paper and here is a
candy that IL almost like nougat. The
whole loaf may be covered with melt

when that is dry cut in strips.
Plum Pudding Bars.-Chop very
fine two tablespoonfuls each of
chopped candied orange peel. cur
rants, sultana raisins and dates. Beat
the white of an egg and mix all to-

cold roll over and cover the bottom.

puddings and mince pies that the
older ones enjoy should not be given
to them. So often a simpler dessert
which they may eat without dis
tressing the department of the in.
terror will be found convenient. The
following pudding is rich enough for
the occasion, taking the place of the
plum pudding:
Fig Pudding-To half pound of
chopped figs add two cupfuls of
grated stale bread, one cupful of
brown sugar, one cupful of finely
chopped beef suet, one cupfnl of sweet
milk, one teaspoonful of salt, one
quarter of teaspoonful Of cloves, a
teaspoonful of cinnamon, one tea
spoonful of baking powder, all sifted
into the mixture; then add two eggs,
beaten light and thick; pour into a
buttered mold two-thirds full, cover
and steam three hours. If cooked in
individual molds, three-quarters of an
hour is sufficient to cook them. Serve
with hard sauce daintily heaped
around the pudding. A wreath of holly
on the edge of the platter makes this
a truly festive dish.
Cranberry SnoWbaIls.-Sift together
two cupfuls Of flour, a pinch of salt,
and three teaspoonfuls of baking
powder; add sufficient sweet milk to
make a soft batter, one cupful Of
sugar, one and half cupfuls of cram
berries, rolled in -four, and two we'll
beaten eggs. Pour the mixture into
buttered pudding cups and steam for
two hours. Serve with hard sauce
and spoonfuls Of cranberry jelly.
Wild Rose cakes.-These are made

ception of rose extract instead of al

A Christmas Prayer.

Give me the eyes to see my brothers woe;
Grant me the vision that perceives his
care,
That I, amid my Christmas joys, may go
And take some touch of mitigation
there.
God point the way that may quickly
find
His acre waiting for the glad relief,
And ope my eyes that may not be blind
To tasks of love that ease the sting Of
grief.
