Keep Flue Clear of SCOT

Chicago News; The good old
fashioned way TO clean out the ilue
is, put on old clothes and use 4
broom or big wad OF cloth, This
makes an awful muss in the base
ment. Also, il persuades many to
postpone the cleaning, Many fur
naceS burn a piece OF zinc on a
hot fire. The zinc may be scraps,
new or old, about as large as two
hands, and should be thrown on the
coal beds when it is red hot. This
will burn the SCOT in pipes and
chimney. Others use tin for the
same purpose, More tin is needed
than zinc, but old cans may be used.
They are burned in hot fire, just
as the zinc, and the same result
is obtained, a SootlesS chimney.
With soit coal it is best to do this
about every two weeks.

Bodily Resurrection.

But what are we to understand by
the resurrection of Christ? Many talk
today as If all that is meant by it is
the continued existence of the person
atty of Jesus after death. Of course
1t means that, but as the very word it
self indicates, 1t means the rising up
of that which has fallen down, it's
standing forth again.
The resurrection of Christ, then, has
to do with the body Of our Lord, which
was buried and in which he again
stood forth from the grave. 1t means
athat the risen Christ is not disem-
bodied spirit, but spirit embodied In
ithat easement of which death robbed
HIT. This Is the teaching of our LORD
himself. "Handle me and see; spirit
hath not flesh and bones as ye see me
Ehaye," was his word to his wondering
land doubling disciples. when after the
he stood in their midst.
|ht is proved by the fact of the empty
tomb the disciples found on that Easter
morning. 1t was an embodied Christ
tDvh0m Mary mistook for the gardener.
II was corporal being who walked
and talked with the men on their way
| to Emmaus. 1t was Jesus in his ris'
en- body who assembled into heaven
