THE MOUNTAINS REMOVED.

|. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: In the gospel, according to Matthew. taenty-firsu chapter, last part of twenty first verse. it says: If ye shall say unto the mountains be thou re- moved and be thou cast into the sea it shall be done" And this is one of the best known parts of the Bible The general impression is that the Book is figurative in this place, but is it?
 Many infidels say that the impossi- ble is quoted at this point, but is not their argument built upon the sand Because in the first place Christ did not say when the mountains would be rcmoved nations prayer for nineteen centuries after the Saviour that the mountains should be removed and ap- parently their prayers were not an- swered. -.....- .-- :.s--, In the twentieth century the wire less telegraph appeared, and by means of it the message was sent through the mountain and on its way with the same speed and accuracy as if the mountain had been taken away; at the same time it remained with all it's grandeur and the diamonds, the gold, and other valuable treasures were left as gifts of God to man, things which would have been lost had the moIn- tain been taken up and cast into thc sea as the first Christians expected it to be.
 In the long ago the mountain was ' messages for it took a great deal of time to go, over or around it. but the wireless defied it's greatness. therefore all the burdensome part of the noun tain has been removed and all the de- sirabie part has been left by Jehova, the Sovereign of nations as that won derful song words it.
 Not long ago in a sermon a minis ter said no man has ever been bet ter business man than Christ. The good man s always the shrender one all other things being equal. Might not Christ have had the wireless in fnfnd at the time he spoke of the re- noval of mountains, and perhaps would have given it to the world in it's childhood. had the world bene ready to receive it in faith and make use oft. He might have known they would only have doubted Him, and he did not care to cast pearls before swine to that extent.
 However that may he, I feel sure in cur age. by means of the wireless reIe- graph we have seen the removal of mountains which the Bible has kept on the tongues of nations since Christ has lived.

THINGS WORTH REMEMBERING

Dear Social Ccrnerites: These are, little economies worth practicing:
 To keep lemons fresh, place on plate and cover with tumbier-this excludes air and prevents the lemon from drying up.
 Use q small cookies or biscuit cutter to scrape pots and kettles. It will 1t in where a knife cannot be used and isp much better than the common wire dfshcloth of wire rings.
 When sewing long seams, use wire paper clips to fasten the edges of the cloth together and no basting will be necessary. Turn up a hem the de- sired depth and place the fasteners at the bottom edge to hold if in place.
 Never use small coal without first dampening it. If you put 1t on dry it will fall through into the ashpan, but fl dampened 1t will cake into a hard lump and. in addition to lasting, will give out a splendid heat.
 Clothes scented with lavender have R delightfully."- clean. fresh odor. Make colored chiffon. Fill three-quarters. full with the dried lavender, tie with rib bon finished with a rosetta, and you will have the da1ntiest sort or scent bags at a trifiing cost.
 Coffee removes grease from black silk without making 1t shiny. It is a splendid cleaner for black silk or black hair ribbons Equal parts of coffee and ammonia should be used for. the latter and for all stiff silks
 If you want a glue that will stick paper to paper, paper or cloth to wood, metal or glass, take a tablespoon of ordinary cooking gelatin and dis solve it in two to two an done-half tablespoons of boiling water. Boil for q few seconds and add little sugar while still hot It will stick anything without staining. It can be kept in definitely and used by merely warming slightly.

SOCIAL CORNER POEMS.
FORGET IT.

Forget it, my dear boy. forget it; That's the very best thing you can
 do;
 It will do you no good to remember The mean things that are said about
 you.
 This fife is too short to get even For every mean act that you know; So forget it, my boy. forget 1t,
 Forget it, and just let it go. Forget it, my dear boy, forget it: For you see every knock is a lie; Be decent and never repeat 1t;
 Just forget it, and let it pass by. You may think that the story is funny, But to tell it you've nothing to gain; So if it's a knock, just forget it, And never repeat it again. Forget it, my dear boy. forget it. For knocking's a very poor game; It never made one fellow happy, But causes much sorrow and pain. When you chance to hear some fellow
 knocking,
 If he's knocking friend or foe, I want to impress this upon you, Forget it, and just let 1t go. Some say that knock is a boost, boy, Forget it, for that is not so, A boost is a boost, and a knock is a
 knock. It's the same thing wherever you go. So when you hear somebody knocking Let them know that their knock is
 in vain, For as soon as you hear it. forget it, And never repeat it again. Many good men have been ruined And many good, pure women, too, By some knocl1er starting a rumor, And not a word of it true. So if you hear some fellow knocking A mans or woman'ss good name, Just bet it's a lie and forget 1t, And never repeat it again. George W. Hubbard, in the Seattle
 Argus.
