Cor. 9-25-COmmentary Prepared
by Rev. ID. Nj. Stearns.

The title of this lesson Is THE I'm
portance OF Self Control" and that fits
well into the last lesson, for we can
not be faithful unless Spirit controlled.
According to the Golden Text and its
context. the self life must be persist
emily reckoned dead If we would win
the incorruptible crown. Paul In that
passage had no thought or reference to
the loss of his soul. but was speaking
only Of service, which he knew might
be rejected or disapproved, and he suf-
fer loss. according to Cor. iii, IA, 10.
This is called a Temperance lesson,
l suppose because of its references to
drunkards and strong drink oversees 1,
3, 7, 81. but the whole chapter and the
context refer TO those who scorn the
word Of the Lord and take refuge In
lies verses IA. 15). No doubt the priest
and prophet, as well as the people,
were given TO wine and strong drink
and thus were out of the right way,
drinking themselves drunk like those
in l Kings xvi, o; Xxx, 10. The filth
ness and beastliness OF actual drunk
ards are seen in lesson verse s, and
those who continue such cannot enter
the kingdom Of heaven. but there are
forgiveness and salvation for all kinds
OF sinners if they will only turn to the
Lord, according TO | Cor. vi. Oil. In

Hints on Cake Making

There are certain principles govern
ing the amounts of the different ma
terials used in cake recipes. For in
stance, your recipe may call for
three eggs and four teaspoonfuls
baking powder. If you use two eggs
instead of three in the cake recipe,
use five teaspoonfuls baking powder
instead of four. One egg is consid-
cred as having the same leavening
power as one teaspoon of baking
powder; but the texture will not be
so good when the additional baking
powder is used.
AS the amount Of fat in recipe
is increased, the amount of liquid
should be decreased, thus giving a
firmer texture which keeps the rich
cake from falling.
If you wish to make a chocolate
cake from your standard recipe, add
two squares 1.-TWO ounces and or one
half cupful) and use two tablespoon
fuls less Of flour than the recipe calls
for.
Or add four tablespoonfuls of boil
ing water to the grated chocolate and
cook until of the same consistency as
the cake batter. This may then be
added to the cake batter without al
tering the amount of flour.
If nut cake is wished reduce the
amount of fat by two tablespoonfuls
and add one cupful of finely chopped
nuts.
If making spice cake, wet the
spices with a bit of boiling water
just enough to moisten them. If a
very dark spice cake is wished, use
brown instead of white sugar, and
then the scalded spices.

Threshed Beans Third Time

Howard City.--It is not often that
a farmer threshes his beans three
times in the same season but prices
have been SO extremely high this
season that no one desired to feed up
much actual money by leaving beans
in the pods. Last week, John o..
Miles, of Ensley, had his bean straw
threshed third time and secured six
bushels-or the equivalent of about
$50. The same week Edward Kelley
threshed his beans a second time and
secured twenty-one bushels or the
tidy sum of 500 for his vigilance.
