CARE OF FINE FURNITURE
AND INTERIOR WOODWORK.

Several times year all the interior
woodwork and furniture should he rub.
bed with a soft cloth molstened with
yellow parafiin oil, costing about 10
cents a pint. The finish Is greatly I'M
proved by this treatment, and the wood
will last much longer In perfect condi'
tion. This paraftin oil is also an excel
lent cleaner and will remove the dust
and grease deposit found oh woods
cleaned with dry dust cloth.
A great many people clean white
woodwork with strong soap or the va
rious cleaning powders. The woodwork
will be clean. but 1t will soon wear OF
or become dry and faded. 4 thin paste
OF powdered whiting is far the best
cleaner for all painted wood, furniture
and enamel beds. The whiting Is mixed
with water TO make thin paste about
the consistency Of cream. This Is rub
bed over a small surface Of the white
woodwork until It becomes Glenn; the
surplus whiting Is rubbed OF, and no
rinsing Is required.
Many houseEeeper has grieved over
a highly finished table or stand which
Is ruined by white spots caused by
water from flower pots or bowls. These
white spots may be readily removed by
n little careful treatment. Wet a soft
cheesecloth with wood or denatured al
cOhol and lightly sponge the spot.
When the white disappears pour
enough of the yellow parafin oil over
the spot to cover and allow to stand
several hours; wipe OF the surplus oil
and polish when thoroughly dry.
Remember, then. that finished woods
require cleaning. but they are ruined
by strong soaps and washing powders
aud should be carefully handled with
an intelligent understanding Of their
composition.

The Sunday School Lesson

a gift OF the Son OF man. "For him
the Father. even God. hath sealed"
Jesus claimed that bis ministry had
already been certified to by God, show
ing that he did possess the power to
grant eternal life. The reply Of the
multitude was characteristic. Jesus
had reproached them for working for
the wrong kind OF food. To that they
said. What must we do that We may
work the works OF Godr The ques-
tlon, while II showed willingness to be
taught, also showed that the multitude
was In a mental fog. They missed al
together the essential fact in the words
OF Jesus, that lie was q giver OF eter-
nal life. Perhaps they even missed
the inference that he was the Son OF
man. The only thing they grasped at
all was his command to work for the
eternal food OF God. And they asked.
as persons stepped In the ritual or
a formal worship. what works they
might perform to secure this bread.
Jesus was quick to answer that 1t was
not works that God requires. but
single work" and that this is belief
on him whom he hath sent" Faith
In Jesus Is the supreme Christian re-
qulrement. Immediately the counter
demand was made, What then d0est
thou for q sign, that we may see and
believe thee? 80 Our fathers ate
the mama In the wilderness" In 9TH
er words, II Jesus il the greatest Of all
Gods leaders, he must be able to per-
form miracles which shall surpass
those performed by Moses, until then
the highest type Of divine representa-
tive.
The demand Of the multitude showed
the crassness OF their thought. Jesus
Immediately turned their thoughts back
to his words by saying. 1T was not
Moses that gave you the bread out OF
heaven" The mama might have saved
the bodies OF the Israelites, but they
knew that there had been no eternal
spiritual nourishment in It. "My Fa-
Their giveth you the true bread out Of
heaven" 1t was this Jesus had come
to proffer.
Verses 33-35.-The bread Of life.
Jesus did not leave any doubt as to
the implications OF his words. This
true bread OF God is that which COM
eth down out Of heaven and giveth
life" 1t Is possible to translate the
verse by substituting "he" for that"
But even as the words stand the fig-
ure Is so thinly yelled that 1t seems
remarkable that the crowd did not
catch their meaning. Il am the bread
OF life: he that cometh TO me shall not
hunger. and he that believeth on me
shall never thirst" Here is the an
nouncement to which oil the rest had
been leading. In Jesus is TO be found
complete and abiding spiritual salts
faction.
