MOTHERS NEW YEARS PRAYER.
Lord. though ] cannot lift my voice
to sing
The lifting tune that from my heart
doth spring,
And though / cannot paint the sunset
glow
That shines across my fields and stirs
me so,
And though / cannot utter all the love
That warns me when ] lift my eyes
above;
Though ] am dumb, and holding mute
and still
Lord. but this humble prayer fulfill
Let me. with mop and duster scour
and shine,
This small brown house where dwell
those who are mine;
And let exquisite care serve them lor
wealth,
And food prepared with love preserve
their health.
Let me with child and husband kindly
deal,
Teach growing bodies and curb youth
full zeal.
Mine be the gift of healing, mine the
strength
TO do my work throughout the New
Years length.

might be called practical prayer,
and very appropriate for busy house
keepers and homemakers.

Apple Cream Cake-Make any
light cake; bake in round tins. Beat
the whites of two eggs light; pare
three apples and CRATE them. Add
to the egg whites, with bit of salt,
three-fourths cup sugar and one-half
teaspoon vanilla. Serve either cold
or a little warm, and report how
you like them. The apple cream is
better than COWS cream for bad
stomachs.-El Elizabeth.
Baked Apple Dumplings-Pare,
core and chop six tart apples.
Make a rich cream tartar biscuit
dough; roll one-half inch thick
spread the chopped apple evenly
over it, put little sugar, spice and a
sprinkle of salt. Roll as you do
jelly cake, and, with a sharp knife,
cut off the roll in one-inch slices.
Bake and eat with any sweet sauce,
1t will keep several days. Brush the
tops with sweet milk, warm, and
they are as light and moist as when
| baked Elizabeth.
