Which Do You Prefer?

1t is important for reasons of health and
practical economy for every housekeeper
to ask herself this question:
DO prefer pure baking powder like
ROYAL, made of cream of tartar derived from
grapes. or am l willing to use baking
powder made Of alum or phosphate, both
derived from mineral sources?"
The names of the ingredients printed
on the label show whether the kind you
are now using or any brand, new or old,
that may be offered is genuine cream

or alum compound.

Scriptural Promises of a Fu-
ture Life Life Everlasting"

TN both the Old and the New Testament
there are continual references to future
life--the life eternal" and life ever
lasting The distinguished scientist. Sir
Oliver Lodge. asserts that what the Bible
has so abundantly promised it is reasonable
for science to hope to prove TO be true.
IT God communicate ed Will. man. as fire.
Guenty narrated in the Old Testament and
if Christ was in communication with His
Father during Ilg life time, and in com.
nuncation with those who were nearest
Him on earth after His death--why should
science hesitate TO attempt to discover the
means Of communication between the living
and the dead?
1t has been noted that there are fewer
references to Eternal Life in the Old les
lament than in the New Testament. and
the suggestion is made that the Jews took
il for granted, and did not deem it necessary
10 dwell upon this subject. That there was
a prevailing belief in the survival OF men
after death Is plainly shown by such met!
dents as Saul and the Witch of Endor.
Other suggestions are found In the book
Of job and on Psalms as well as in the
prophetica) writings.

that Jesus showed Himself to the disciples

the apostles preached the Resurrection. OF

be read in Acts. w.. 2. They taught the
