Gods Presence Everywhere.

If we lift up our eyes to heaven,
Gods glory shineth forth; If we cast
them down upon the earth, it is full of
his goodness. The hills and the val
leys rejoice and sing fields, rivers and

think of God when we play and when
we work; when we walk out and when
We come in; when we sleep and when
we wake; his praise shall dwell con
tinually upon our lipS.-Anna L. Bar

Soups of Various Kinds.

Soup is Il food that is equally good
for old and young, and a nourishing
soup is especially good for growing
children and should be often found in
the ration prepared for them.
Cream soups and purees are more
nourishing than the clear broths. The
latter serve valuable purpose when
followed by hearty meat dish. but
the heavier soups are meal of them
selves if served with plenty of good
bread and butter. Children should
have much simpler meals than the
parents and, when possible, have their
meal earlier, so that they may have
plenty of sleep.
Soup meat should never be put into
water to be washed, but carefully wiped
with a damp cloth, rs washing deprives
it of its juices.
