What Is There h. Religion?

The French, Jew, Solomon Reinach has defined religion ''as collection of scruples which impede the free exercise of our faculties"
 For some people religion is noth- ing more than chain binding them in head, hand and foot. but the re are tthers who have eX? 2iiancG1 the emancipating power of religion A better definition of religion is the one given by Professor Gilbert Murray who says, Man is impris. oned in the external present and what we call mans religion is the thing that offers him a permanent means of escape from that prison, a breaking of the prison walls which leaves him standing in the pres ent, but in a present so enlarged and enfranchised that it becomes no1 prison but free world"
 Christ's Religion brings the great est freedom to men and women. Il brings freedom from sin and selfish ness, freedom from fear and worry and sickness. Therefore the religion of Jesus is refreshing religion II builds us man by giving him new hope and faith and strength.

to the table when a turkey or other

carve on the board when the meat
clings than, on the slippery dish.
The carving board is being adopt
ed where serving is still done at the

are also silver and nickel insets,
which dress the plank for the ta-

old-fashioned platter if it is not
used frequently enough to count
nance the outlay for the inset. The

SUGGESTIONS THAT
ARE USEFUL FOR
All HOME MAKERS

Sometimes cloudy windows only
need wiping with a clean dust clotn
to make them quite clear again.
when sieves are obstinate and
hard to clean, rub the strainer por-
tion with salt. Then wash thor
oughly. The operation may be re-
peated if necessary.
The silver change purse that has
become blackened can be bright
ened by soaking it in buttermilk
over night. Rinse in lukewarm wa
ted and dry thoroughly.
If a space is desired, sink
stopper wall do away with the dish
pan.
Veal and pork should be thor
ouhgly cooked to be absolutely
wholesome.
Lamp wicks that are soft and
loosely woven will burn far better
than the heavier variety.
Dimity is nice for window cur
tains4 Besides being dainty and
pretty it is easy to launder.

nature has endowed upon it green

Incohgruously enough, the scarf
is worn even with the bathing suit
today in France. 1t matches the
suit, and is knotted loosely about
the neck.
Distinctive braiding trims some
of the English long over blouscs.
It is placed at neck, sleeve ends,
and waist so that the lines at these
points are the first things to
strike the eye.
Plain and demure in line are the
new cloth frocks for young girls.
They are exactly suited TO the needs
of early autumn class rooms, or
indeed, to late summer street wear.
The latest wrist bags often have
a decidedly Chinese air. The long
mandarin tassels, the bits of carved
crystal or jade, and the embroid-
cred dragons emphasize the present
mode for oriental things.
The three colors most chic in
jewelry for early autumn are sap
phirc blue, deep red and emerald.
Oriental bracelets in all these col
ors combined are novel and de-
ightful idea.
