SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON

The opening verses of our lesson
chapter find Jesus teaching in the syna-
gogue among his own people who could
not understand how he, whom they
had known from childhood, could teach
as he did. and do such mighty works.
They knew his brothers and sisters,
Mary's other children of. whom he was
the firstborn Cps. CO.'S; Lu. 2:7). and
supposed that he was like them Of or
dinary human parentage. not knowing
or not believing the manner of his
birth Matt. 1 30. 2D. Their unbeief,
at which he marveled, hindered him
from doing any mighty works among
them except healing few sick folk
(4-6) but he went round about among
the villages teaching. II some will not
hear others will and there will always
be an open door somewhere for those
whom he sends forth In his name. We
saw In former lesson that he called
unto him twelve that they might be
with him, and that he might send them
forth OLA, 15) and now we see him
sending them forth, by two and two, to
teach and heal In his name (7-13).
They were not to go to the Gentiles or
Samaritans, but only to Israel; and
proclaim the kingdom of heaven as at
hand, healing the sick. cleansing the
lepers, raising the dead, casting out de-
mons, and doing all freely (Matt. 10 10
y. The kingdom must begin with
Israel. and will begin there when it
shall be set up at his return. Because
Israel rejected him and his kingdom.
the, gospel is, in this age of his rejec-
ton, and a postponed kingdom, to be
purchased among the nations to take
out of them people for his name, the
church which Is his body and bride |;
and then shall Israel be saved, and
then all nations (Acts 15:13-1s).
lnasmuch as human hearts are al
ways the same. enmity against God
thom. SCI, 81, we may still expect
much or the same treatment which the
twelve were told they would receive
(Matt. 10:16-25). and we must be con-
tent to be as sheep in the midst Of
wolves, for his sake killed all the day,
long. We are not to fear the sltfnh
death OF the body. knowing that f @
believer to die Is gain, and absenI n

and also that as they went In his name
they must have no anxious care about
food or raiment or recompense Tvs.
$40; Matt. 1919. 10. 40-42). On the
last night before he was crucified he
asked them. "When sent you without
purse, and scrip. and shoes, lacked ye
anything?" and they said, Nothing"
Luke % :35. 1t stands ever true for all
his faithful followers, that II we make
the coming of his kingdom our chief
concern, he will see to the supply of
all our needs Matt 9 :33; Phil. A :19).
AS to anything we may be called upon
to bear for his sake, we must count
that a privilege, and be comforted by
the assurance that such affliction or
trial is working for,us far more ex-
ceeding and eternal weight of glory,
and that the sufferings of this present
time, are not worthy to be compared
with the glory which shall be revealed
In US. (Phil. 20; 2 Cor. ALI, 1s;
Rom. S:1S). AS Herod and his COM
panions heard of the wonders wrought
through Jesus Christ, some said that
he was Elijah, but Herod's guilty con-
science remembered the birthday party,
and how to please wicked woman he
had caused John to be beheaded, and
he said: ''It is John risen from the
dead" Tvs. 14-16). II the terrors of a
guilty conscience are so awful here In
this world, who can imagine what tho
torment of the lost must be even be-
tween death and resurrection, and then
In the lake Of fire Uuke 16 :23, "a;
Rev. IA :9-11). Does 1t not seem that
If we really believed God concerning
the happiness of the redeemed and the
sufferings of the lost we would have
more Of the zeal Of Paul, or a ID. L.
Moody. or a William Sunday In reach
ing after sinners to deliver them from
the wrath to come? 1t would be a great
thing for every teacher and preacher,
and for every true believer, to DO every
evening as the disciples and apostles
did after the burial OF John the Bap-
lists body-tell Jesus all things that
had been done and said through the
day Tvs. 20. .20). II 1t was our custom
to rehearse to him all We have said
and done, We might perhaps learn to
leave unsaid and undone many things,
and to say and to do others which we
are neglecting. He does not need that
we should tell him, for he sees and
hears and knows all. but II would be a
great benefit to us to talk II all over
with him. and he would love to have us
do so.

Scotchmen Trained Bankers

Scotchmen, it seems, are peculiarly
and particularly qualified for the
banking business, judging from the
number who are in it. No one will
undertake to say exactly why they
are as well adapted to the business
The best reason for itgis perhaps be-
cause they are cautious to a degree.
A very rich man, whose opinion is
worth while, and whose association
with Scottish people interested in in
vestments has been very large for at
least half century, says that the
qualifications for banking are bred
in the bone of the Scotchmen because
of the hardships and poverty which
they had to undergo centuries ago.
They had so little that they were
compelled to economize. When they
began to accumulate, it took them so
long and their accumulations were
so meager, that they became cautious
because of the fear of losing what
they had. The same authority con-
cluded by saying that unremitting
prosperity is the most unfortunate
thing that can happen to man or to
a nation. 1t was apparently unremit-
ting poverty that has made great
bankers out of Scotchmen.

Appetizing Fish Recipes

Economical Fish SOup.-This can
be made of the head and large bones
of any good-sized fish, or the heads
or pan-fsh. They should be covered
with one quart of water. Add two
good-sized onions sliced, and let boil
very gently for half an hour and then
strain and add any small pieces of the
fish that remained when it was baked,
boiled or fried. Cut these into small
pieces and free from bones and skin.
Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter or
butterine or oleo, and add two table
spoonfuls of flour and the fish-stock.
Let it come to a boil, and then add one
cupful of milk, heat thoroughly, add
the halves of four crackers, and serve.
Fish Croquettes.-For these you
use any finely chopped cold fish that
has been boiled, baked or fried. To
each cupful add one large soda crack
er rolled to powder, or the same guam
tity of dry bread-crumbs, one well
beaten egg, and one tablespoonful of
milk. Season we'll with pepper and
salt, and if liked, add little finely
chopped raw onion. Make into balls
and fry in deep fat or in fiat cakes and
fry in drippings until Drowned on
both sides. Garnish with parsley and
serve very hot
Delicious Goldfish BalIs.-Soak one
cupful of salt Goldfish overnight. rinse,
boil and put through the food-chop-
per, and to this add two heaping cup
fuls of mashed potatoes. Moisten with
one beaten egg, or if eggs are very
expensive, use three tablespoonful of
milk instead. Season with a little
salt, and shake of pepper. Make into
small, fiattish balls, roll in flour or
Indian meal and fry light brown in
Ard or drippings. These fish-balls
can be improved by dipping them in
beaten egg before frying, and then in
bread-crumbs, but they are very good
and much more economical cooked in
the way first described.
Steamed Goldfish
This is a better method of cooking
fish than boiling it, unless the water
in which it is boiled is saved for soup
or fish chowder, or to make the sauce
The fish also has a better flavor
steamed than boiled. 1t should be
washed and put into a steamer, or if
you have not such utensil an excel
lent one can be improvised by placing
the fish in wire strainer over a ket-
tie or water and covering the whole
with a big pot cover to keep in the
steam. The fish will be done in from
three-quarters to an hour, according
to the size Of the piece. 1t should be
served with drawn butter or egg
sauce, the same as boiled fish. Had
dock can be cooked in this way also
and so can halibut, sword fish, or any
good-sized fish.

A Dry Texas

An almost completely dry Texas
WITHIN 30 to 60 days was the oppor-
tunity which dry leaders predicted
they had within their grasp at the
opening of a special session of the
/ Legislature.
This session was called by Cover
nor w. p. Hobby to declare a 10-mile
: dry one around army camps in Texas.
The drys asserted that in passing this
bill they they would b cable to add
clauses to include ship building in the
same category as army camps in such
way as to render the state practic-
ally all dry. They predicted further
more that they hoped for the enact
ment of statutory prohibition which
would shut out liquor completely.
: The proclamation of the governor
of Texas was issued after Secretary
of War Baker had written him that
"the War department will be deeply
interested in any effective measures"
enacted b ythe special session Of the
legislature (which will make it more
difficult for soldiers in the camps of
Texas to obtain liquor" Gov. Hobby
said that all doubt as to what he
should do regarding this legislation
was removed from his mind after re-
ceiving this expression from the sec
retary of War.
There now are approximately 1000
saloons in Texas. 1t is estimated
that the legislation providing a 10
mile one around army camps will
eliminate between LOO and 1000 of
this number. If the legislature passes
the 10-mile law and includes cities
which have plants now working on
government shipbuilding contracts
and the drys say they will try to
force such clause into the bill-this
number of saloons will be still furth-
er reduced. If the legislation can
put out of business the breweries in
the 10-mile zone, the only brewery
left in the state will be located at
New Braunfels, about As miles east
of San Antonia.
Records in the state comptroller's
Office show that three-fourths of the
state of Texas now is dry. There are
251 counties in the state and 200 of
these are wholly dry. Fifteen are
totally wet and 80 partially dry.
With the exception of two counties
in the northwestern part of the State,
Tom Green and Dallam it is said the
only counties that will remain wet If
the 10-mile law Is enacted with the
additions hoped for by the drys, will
be in the southern part most Of it in
the vicinity of the border.
This legislature has been over
whelmingly in favor of prohibition.
