[A  paper  read  by  Mrs.  Montrew  Sanders  on  the  occasion  of  the  opening  of  the 
basement  of  the  church] 

"Where  there  is  no  vision  the  people  perish"  are  the  words  that  were 
spoken  by  one  who  was  in  close  contact  with  human  life  in  its  various  con- 
flicts and  triumphs.  That  inactivity  is  followed  by  retrogression  and  that 
circumscribed  vision  results  in  loss  of  power  and  opportunity,  is  a  fixed 
law  in  the  spiritual  realm  as  well  as  in  the  physical. 

Thousands  of  churches  in  America  to-day  have  ceased  to  be  bulwarks 
of  power  in  extending  the  kingdom  of  our  Christ,  simply  because  the 
membership  was  content  with  small  things.  Hundreds  of  churches  are 
closed  and  are  mouldering  away  by  tbe  roadside,  because  the  congregations 
lacked  a  vision  of  a  larger  field  atid  were  unwilling  to  pay  the  price  of  a 
larger  growth  and  an  increased  power  of  evangelism.  These  empty  church 
houses,  where  once  the  gospel  of  love  was  proclaimed  by  men  whose  hearts 
were  aglow  with  heavenly  fervor,  and  where  the  struggling  multitudes 
gathered  in  from  the  various  walks  of  life  in  order  that  they  might  receive 
spiritual  food  and  guidance,  have  now  become  mere  habitations  for  the 
straying  bird  that  seeks  refuge  from  the  disturbed  elements.  The  faithful, 
along  with  the  aged  trustees  and  loyal  members,  have  either  passed  on  to 
their  reward  or  lapsed  into  lethargy  and  inditTerenoe.  The  young  men  and 
maidens  spend  their  hours  in  frivolty  and  pleasure.  The  boys  and  girls 
roam  the  fields  and  loiter  on  the  streets.  The  heart  of  the  parent  becomes 
burdened,  and  their  eyes  send  forth  tears  of  anguish  on  account  of  the  iu- 
ditferennce  and  waywardness  of  their  children.  When  we  seek  to  find  out 
the  cause  of  all  this,  we  invariably  find  that  it  is  a  process  of  spiritual  de- 
generation and  decay  that  had  already  begun  as  the  result  of  a  failure  on 
the  part  of  the  christian  forces  in  those  communities  to  break  away  from 
obsolete  customs  and  antiquated  methods,  and  keep  apace  with  the  pro- 
gressive spirit  of  the  age  by  attempting  larger  things  for  the  cause  of 
Christ. 

We,  as  members  and  friends  of  this  part  of  the  christian  church  have 
learned  some  practical  and  very  helpful  lessons  along  this  line  during  the 
last  few  years.     All  of  us  can  remember  when  the  congregations    which  as- 


sembled  for  worship  in  this  village  from  time  to  time  were  content  with 
quite  crude  and  commonplace  facilities  for  the  promotion  of  religious  wor- 
ship and  the  extension  of  gospel  privileges.  No  matter  how  comfortable 
and  cuzy  might  be  our  own  firesides,  we  thought  little  about  it  if  the  housfe 
of  God  was  not  in  harmony  with  our  homes.  We  saw  the  hand  of  pnjgrebs 
as  it  wrought  its  mighty  transformation  as  if  by  the  touch  of  magic,  in 
other  phases  of  human  endeavor,  but  we  realized  that  the  church  was  not 
keeping  pace.  Tiere  came  a  time  however,  when  conditions  began  to 
change — a  brighter  day  was  dawning,  and  a  new  star  was  appearing  in  tlie 
spiritual  heavens  which  destined  to  shed  its  sombre  light  over  the  entire 
community,  giving  new  hope  and  new  life  to  all  who  would  come  under  the 
influence  of  its  marvellous  power.  I  refer  to  the  larger  vision  that  has 
come  to  this  church  in  rejeut  3'ears,  and  tne  rem^irkable  growth  and  material 
enlargement  that  followed,  the  culmination  of  which  we  meet  here  to-night 
to  celebrate. 

In  the  worthy  achievements  of  the  past  few  years  the  women 
of  the  church  have  borne  a  noble  part.  They  have  stood  side  by  side  wiih 
their  sturdy  brothers  in  an  united  etfort  to  plant  the  church  upon  a  higher 
plane  and  a  firmer  foundation.  The  organized  work  among  the  women  of 
the  church  had  its  inoeption  about  five  ) ears  ago,  when  a  number  of  the 
women  in  this  community  met  in  the  old  church,  which  formerly  stood  up- 
on this  sacred  spot,  and  organized  the  Ladies'  Aid  Society  of  this  church 
wtih  eighteen  members  enrolled  at  the  first  meeting.  Mrs.  Sallie  Edwards  was 
elected  president  Plans  were  inaugurated  and  put  into  practical  opeiation 
which  had  as  th;;  chief  (jhject  the  assuming  of  part  of  the  re^jponsibility  of 
providing  funds  for  the  support  and  extension  of  various  departments  of 
the  work  of  the  church.  The  ladies  entered  into  their  new  labors  with  a 
spirit  of  fervency  and  cheer,  and  in  a  very  short  time  tje  Aid  Society  be. 
came  one  of  the  leading  faetois  in  the  church  life. 

A  few  months  after  the  society  entered  upon  its  useful  career,  some 
one  sus^gested  fhat  Honey  Creek  should  have  a  resident  pastor.  The  idea 
was  a  popidar  one,  and  the  Aid  Society  took  up  the  discussion,  and  con- 
tinued the  agitation  which  resulted  in  definite  steps  being  taken  towa'-d  tiie 
building  of  a  home  for  the  pastor  of  the  church.  The  society  came  for- 
ward wlien  the  success  of  ihe  enterprise  was  in  jeopardy  and  pledged 
$100  00  to  a'u\  in  building  the  parsonage.  It  was  a  glad  day  for  the  society 
as  well  as  for  the  entire  church  when  the  pastor  and  his  fajnily  were  moved 
into  the  new  parsonage,  the  first  house  of  iis  kind  in  the  village 

With  the  completion  of  the  parsonage,  and  the  spirit  of  sacrifice  and 
service  that  the  society  developed  in  their  efforts  to  provide  their  part  of 
the  funds,  came  a  still  lartrer  vision  of  greater  opportunities.  When  a  new 
house  of  worship  was  proposed,  the  Aid  Society  was  not  found  laokins  in 
support  ami  enthusiasm  A  pledge  at  $500.00  was  ma.irt  before  the  build- 
ing was  begun.     The  greater  [)art  of  this  sum  was  paid    before  the    church 


was  completed.  An  additional  sum  of  $200  00  wa%  pledged  on  the  day  of 
dedication,  and  now  the  society  is  expecting  to  bear  the  greater  part  of  the 
responsibility  of  providing  for  funds  for  the  completion  of  the  basement. 
About  $400.00  more  will  be  expended  for  these  improvements,  which  will 
make  the  entire  amount  expended  by  the  society  during  the  last  Ave  years, 
something  near  $1200.00  As  to  how  this  large  sum  of  money  has  been 
collected,  almost  every  person  in  the  community  understands.  The  women 
have  been  toiling  arduously,  early  and  late  and  in  many  ways,  in  order  that 
they  might  carry  forward  the  work  that  lay  so  near  their  hearts  Practi- 
cally the  entire  community  has  encouraged  them  in  a  substantial  way,  and 
the  splendid  work  that  has  been  accomplished  is  due  largely  to  the  hearty 
support  received  from  the  many  friends  of  the  socioty,  all  of  which  h  is 
been  greatly  appreciated  by  those  who  have  had  the  work  in  hand. 

Friends,  it  has  been  a  long,  hard  pull.  There  were  times  when  the 
roads  were  not  smooth,  and  the  "weather  was  not  pleasant.  There  were 
conditions  that  made  it  embarassing  for  us  to  carry  on  our  work  Throb- 
bing heads  and  aching  limbs  have  told  the  frequent  story  of  a  day  of  in- 
cessant toil,  but  a  full  purse  when  the  day's  work  was  over,  caused  a  joyous 
spirit.  The  burden  ot  the  responsibility  has  been  .great  and  many  times 
seemed  more  than  we  could  bear;  but  in  the  midst  of  all  our  sacrifice  and 
labors,  we  have  been  happy  and  hopeful,  realizing  our  labors  were  for  Him, 
who  gave  his  life  for  us.  As  we  sit  here  to-night  amidst  these  beautiful 
and  pleasant  surroundings  beneath  the  roof  of  this  splendid  temple  dedicat- 
ed to  the  worship  of  Almighty  God,  we  glance  backward  over  the  pathway 
over  which  we  have  traveled  and  see  how  the  way  has  been  opened  up  for 
our  advancement  and  realize  that  the  hand  of  the  loving  B'ather  has  guided 
us  to  this  present  hour  of  victory  and  promise. 

Does  it  pay?  Have  our  labors  been  in  vain?  Nay!  Nay!  All  our 
labors,  all  our  sacrifices  and  all  our  energies  have  been  transformed  into 
bulwarks  of  spiritual  power  and  have  become  pillars  in  the  temple  of  our 
God.  Our  work  is  only  begun.  This  enlarged  vision  will  carry  us  into 
new  and  larger  fields  of  endeavor.  Let  us  not  relax.  Let  every  step  be 
forward  and  upward,  until  the  last  battle  is  fought,  and  the  victor's  crown 
is  placed  upon  our  brow.  Then-^perhaps  not  until  then,  will  we  kaow  the 
real  joy  of  unselfish  service.  Then  we  will  forget  all  about  our  conflicts, 
our  conquests,  and  our  crosses,  for  we  will  hear  again  the  beautiful  wonA 
which  were  spoken  at  Bothany,  ''She  hath  done  what  she  couli"

The  Baking  of  Bread 

TliG  oven  should  bo  hot  cnoiijih  to  turn  a  piece  of  while  paper  a  dark 
brown  in  five  minutes  for  the  baliing  of  bread,  The  heat  should  inoreaso 
HJightly  for  the  first  ten  roinutes,  and  gradually  deerease  tiU  the  end  of  the 
baking.  The  heat  in  the  center  of  the  loaf  should  roaoh  213  degrees,  other- 
wise  the  starch  cells  will  not  be  ruptured  or  the  ferment  jjerms  killed.  The 
heat  changes  the  starch  on  the  exterior  of  the  loaf  to  dextrine.  If  it  burns, 
the  dextrine  is  turned  into  oararael,  and  has  a  slightly  bitter  taste.  When 
the  loaf  is  removed  from  the  oven,  place  it  where  the  air  will  circulate  free- 
ly  around  it.  Do  not  cover,  if  you  like  a  crisp  crust.  When  cold  put  it 
into  a  clean,  sweet  bread-i)ox,  without  any  wrapping,  as  the  latter  will  give 
it  a  musty  fl  ivor.  The  pan  for  baking  bread  should  not  be  over  four 
inciios  wide,  four  inches  deep,  and  suited  in  lentrth  to  the  oven  When  the 
loaf  is  larger  than  this,  there  is  danger  of  the  temperature  in  the  center  of 
thf  loiif  i!0t  reaching  212  degrees  Fahrenheit,  and  the  yea^t  germs  not  be-

Soup 


Soup  stock  is  made  from  cheap,  tough  cuts.  The  meat  should  be  cut 
1q  small  pieces  and  soaked  in  cold  water  for  half  an  hour  to  draw  out  the 
juices.  Bone  is  added  for  the  sake  of  the  gelatine  which  it  contains,  and 
which  will  give  body  to  the  soup.  A  good  proportion  is  one  pound  each 
of  meat  and  bone  to  each  quart  of  water.  Use  a  kettle  with  a  very  tight 
cover  and  simmer  slowly  for  a  number  of  hours.  Stock  is  better  when

Saratoga  Chips 

Tbe  secret  of  preparing  this  daiunty  dish  mcoly,  lies  in  cutting  the 
slices  to  the  thinness  of  heavy  paper  and  soaking  them  in  cold  water,  with 
a  pinch  of  powdered  alum  added,  not  less  than  six  hours.  Moon,  the 
originator,  is  said  to  have  soaked  thera  in  ice  water  twelve  hours.  This  is 
done  to  draw  the  starch  from  the  potato.  When  you  are  leady  to  fry 
them,  drain  them  from  the  water  and  dry  with  a  cloth.  Have  not  less  than 
two  quarts  of  hot  fat,  have  it  hotter  than  for  almost  any  other  dish.  Do 
not  attempt  to  fry  too  many  at  a  time,  as  they  cool  the  fat  and  the  chips 
are  greasy  and  lack  crispness.  A  granite  kettlo  is  belter  tlian  a  frying 
pan,  as  in  order  to  keep  the  fat  of  an  even  temperature,  it  will  be  neces- 
sary to  move  it  from  time  to  time.  Allow  the  chips  to  fry  six  minutes 
after  the  "boiling  up"  has  stopped,  which  always  takes  place  when  the 
Potatoes  are  first  put  in.  They  should  be  crisp  and  a  deep  yellowish  white, 
but  not  brown.  Drain  them  on  brown  paper,  dredge  over  with  salt,  and 
serve  immediately  in  a  hot,  uncovered  dish.  — Selected.

Macaroni  and  Cheese 

Boil  macaroni  in  salt  water  twenty  minutes,  drain  salt  water  otF,  a 
layer  of  macaroni,  one  of  cheese,  let  the  top  layer  be  cheese,  pour  over  this 
a  cupful  of  cream,  bake  a  light  brown.  — Alice  Wright. 

A  Substitute  for  Lard 

Buy  the  fat  of  beef  known  as  cod  fat.  This  is  the  fat  of  the  flank. 
Do  not  buy  the  kidney  fat  as  that  is  very  hard.  Cut  the  fat  in  slices  three- 
fourths  of  an  incli  thick,  place  in  cold  water  for  several  hours  to  withdraw 
the  blood  then  place  in  a  covered  pot  or  skillet  over  a  medium  Are,  turning 
the  pieces  occasionally.  When  most  of  the  fat  is  withdrawn  pour  into  a 
vessel  to  cool,  pressing  the  pieces  with  a  fork  or  spoon  to  extract  all  the 
remaining  fat.  If  the  fat  is  well  extracted  the  "cracklings''  may  be  thrown 
away  but  if  not  they  may  be  saved  for  greasing  the  griddle.  If  properly 
cared  for  this  fat  will  be  as  soft  and  white  as  lard  and  may  be  used  in  the 
same  way.  Pie  crust  made  from  this  is  far  sweeter  and  better  than  from 
any  other  fat.      The  writer  has  used  this  for  twenty  years. 

— Mrs.  L    E.  Custer. 

Deviled  Cheese 

One  and  one  half  cups  grated  cheese,  two  tablespoons  olive  oil,  two

salt  and  pepper.  Add  the  oil  and  beat  until  creamy,  then  mix  in  the  vine- 
gar and  sauce.  Spread  on  hot,  toasted  crackers,  or  spread  on  ordinary 
crackers  or  toast,  and  heat  for  five  minutes  in  a  quick  oven.

Stuffed  Tomato  Salad 

Six  ripe  tomatoes,  one-half  pint  cream  dressing,  two  cucumbers,

easily  removed.  Cut  a  slice  from  the  top  of  each,  and  with  a  small  spoon 
remove  the  seeds.  Peel  the  cucumbers  and  cut  them  into  dice,  season 
highly  and  mix  with  at  least  half  the  dressing.  Fill  the  tomato  cups  with 
this  and  pat  another  spoon  of  the  dressing  on  top.  Sprinkle  a  very  little 
finely  chopped  parsley  over  and  serve  on  a  bed  of  lettuce  leaves.

as  the  rust  is  bleached  out,  wash  the  article  right  out  in  clean  water  to  keep 
acid  from  injuring  the  goods.  Applications  of  lemon  juice  and  salt  is 
good,  laying  the  goods  out  in  the  sun,  or  holding  over  the  spout  of  a  boil-

Some  Uses  of  Salt 

For  removing  egg  stains  from  silver,  salt  applied  with  a  soft  cloth  will 
act  like  magic. 

If  salt  is  rubbed  on  fruit  stains  when  they  are  fresh  all  trace  of  them 
will  disappear  in  the  washing. 

A  pinch  of  salt  added  to  the  whites  of  eggs  will  cause  them  to  whip  in 
half  the  time  usually  required. 

A  pinch  of  salt  added  to  ground  coffee  just  before  the  cooking  ac- 
centuates the  natural  flavor  of  the  berry  and  gives  "body"  to  the  drink. 

•  Greens  used  for  palads  should  be  thoroughly  rinsed  in  salt  water  to 
dislodge  possible  insects  or  their  eggs  too  small  to  be  seen  by  the  naked 
eye  when  picking  over  the  greens. 

Sprinkle  salt  over  a  dingy  carpet  before  sweeping  and  the  transforma- 
tion wrought  will  convince  the  most  skeptical  of  the  value  of  salt  as  a 
cleanser  all  along  the  line. 

Everybody  Knows,  or  at  least  should  know,  that  nothing  is  so  effectual 
for  putting  out  fire  in  a  burning  chimney? as  salt.  To  kill  weeds  apply 
boiling  hot  salt  water  in  liberal  quantities.  To  remove  grass  from  brick 
walks  spriukle  freely  with  salt  and  let  stand  several  days. 

Renovating  Soap 

Good  for  cleaning  spots  from  clothing,  grease  from  coat  collars,  etc. 
Ivory  soap  one  fourth  pound,  alcohol  one  ounce,  beef  gall  two  ounces,  salt- 
peter one-fourth  ounce,  borax  one-fourth  ounce,  sulphuric  ether  one-fourth 
ounce,  spirits  of  turpentine  one- fourth  ounce,  camphor  gum  three  drams, 
pipe  clay  one  dram,  common  salt  one  small  te^spoonful.  Mix  the  pipe 
clay  into  beefs  gall,  the  camphor  into  the  alcohol,  pulverize,  saltpeter  and 
borax,  after  two  or  three  hours,  slice  the  soap  into  a  porcelain  kettle,  with 
the  gall  mixture  and  place  over  a  slow  fire,  stirring  until  melted,  remove 
from  fire,  add  all  the  other  ingredients,  stir  until  mixed,  put  into  a  glass 
fruit  jar,  as  it  soon  hardens,  keep  lid  screwed  on  tight  as  it  loses  strength 
by  evaporation;  keep  in  a  dark  closet  as  light  injures  it.  To  use,  take  out 
a  tablespoonful,  dissolve  it  in  a  quart  of  boiling  water,  use  as  hot  as  pos- 
sible by  dipping  an  old  brush  or  cloth  in  the  hot  liquid  and  rubbing  the 
soiled  spots,  dry  quickly.

Preserve  Flowers 

To  preserve  flowers  in  water,    mix    a  little   carbonate  of   soda   in   the 
water,  and  it  will  keep  the  flowers  a  fortnight.

sugar  and  take  some  occasionally. 

The  juice  of  half  a  lemon  in  a  cup  of  black  coffee,  without  sugar,  will 
cure  sick  headache. 

Lemon  juice  added  to  fruit  juices  that  do  not  jell  readily,  such  as 
cherry,  strawberries,  etc.,  will  cause  them  to  jell. 

Xo  relieve  rheumatism,  add  lemon  juice  to  milk  until  it  curds;  then 
bind  these  curds  upon  the  swollen  parts. 

Lemon  Extract — Let  stand  the  rind  of  four  grated  lemons  in  half  a 
pint  of  alcohol  for  about  three  weeks.  Drain  off  the  fluid,  bottle  and  cork, 
and  you  have  a  finer  extract  tkan  you  can  buy  at  the  stores. 

Things  to  Remember. 

To  prevent  salt  from  becoming  damp  or  hardening  in  the  shaker  place 
a  few  grains  of  rice  in  shaker  when  filling. 

In  flavoring  puddings,  if  the  milk  is  rich,  lemon  flavoring  is  good; 
but  if  the  milk  is  poor,  vanilla  makes  it  richer. 

To  keep  the  flies  on  the  screen  door  from  coming  inside  rub  the  door 
with  kerosene;  the  flies  do  not  like  the  odor.  A  cloth  saturated  with  kero- 
sene in  a  room  drives  flies  to  the  floor. 

Delicate  blues  and  pinks  can  be  laundered  without  fading,  in  the  fol- 
lowing way:  One  teaspoontul  of  turpentine  put  into  half  a  gallon  of  water. 
Wet  the  goods  in  this  and  hang  in  the  shade  to  dry. 

An  easy  and  convenient  way  to  remove  the  silk  from  sweet  corn  is  to 
use  a  small  vegetable  scrub-brush. 

If  any  member  of  the  family  is  very  sick  at  the  stomach,  beat  up  the 
white  of  an  egg  and  let  him  swallow  it.      It  acts  like  a  charm. 

A  very  valuable  remedy  for  cases  of  proud  flesh,  an  obstinate  out- 
growth of  flesh  from  small  sores,  consists  of  alum.  A  lump  of  alum  is 
placed  upon  a  heated  stove  just  hot  enough  to  enable  it  to  turn  to  dry 
powder.     The  powder  placed  on  the  affected  part   repeatedly   and   covered 


144 


with  a  bandage  can  be  relied  upon  to  effect  a  speedy  and  inexpensive  cure. 
It  has  never  failed  to  cure  when  even  the  services  of  a  physician  were 
vainly  resorted  to.  — A.  A.  H. 

Rice  has  a  finer  flavor  if  washed  in  hot  wa'oer  instead  of  c^ld,  before 
cooking. 

The  smaller  a  roast  of  meat,  the  hotter  should  be  the  oven  at  first,  that 
the  least  possible  amount  of  its  delicate  juices  may  escape. 

Bread  should  never  be  covered  with  a  cloth  when  taken  from  the  oven, 
but  laid  on  the  side  and  allowed  to  become  perfectly  cold;  then  keep  in  a 
closely  covered  tin  box,  without  any  wrappings. 

A  spoonful  of  vinegar  put  into  the  water  in  which  meats  or  fowls  are 
boiled  makes  them  tender. 

When  corks  swell  and  are  two  large  for  a  bottle  throw  them  for  a  fi-w 
minutes  into  a  basin  of  boiling  water.      They  will  then  soften. 

The  best  way  to  freshen  home  made  bread  so  that  it  is  as  good  as  new 
is  to  dip  the  loaf  in  cold  water,  put  it  in  a  pan  and  bake  it  until  it  is  heati'd 
through.  Then  wrap  in  a  damp  cloth,  and  when  cold  it  is  as  good  as  when 
first  baked. 

A  good  bath  for  tired,  swollen  feet  is  to  bathe  the  feet  in  a  bath  with 
alum,  one  ounce;  rock  salt,  two  ounces;  borax,  two  ounces;  using  one  tea- 
spoonful  to  each  quart  of  water.  Bathe  the  feet  in  this  water  every  niglit 
for  a  week. 

If  grease  is  splashed  on  a  stove,  a  little  salt  sprinkled  on  it  prevents 
any  unpleasant  smell. 

A  little  vinegar  kept  boiling  on  the  stove  while  onions  or  cabbage  are 
being  cooked  will  prevent  the  disagreeable  odor  going  through  the  house, 
or  a  small  pinch  of  carbonate  of  soda  in  the  water  preserves  the  color  of 
vegetables  and  lessens  the  unpleasant  odor  of  cabbage  and  onions  when 
cooking

How  to  Cook  a  Husband 


A  good  many  husbands  are  utterly  spoiled  in  the  cooking.  Some 
women  set  them  constantly  in  hot  water;  others  let  them  freeze  by  careless- 
ness anil  indifference.  Some  keep  them  in  a  pickle  all  their  lives.  It  is 
not  reasonable  to  suppose  that  any  husband  can  be  tender  and  appetizing 
treated  in  this  way,  but  they  are  really  delicious  when  properly  prepared. 
In  selecting  your  husband  vou  should  not  be  guided  by  the  silvery  appear- 
ance, as  in  buying  mackerel,  nor  by  the  golden  tint,  as  in  picking  salmon. 
Be  sure  to  select  him  yourself,  as  tastes  differ.  Do  not  go  to  market  for 
him.  The  best  are  always  brought  to  your  door.  But  it  is  far  better  to 
have  none  unless  you  will  patiently  learn  how  to  cook  him. 

A  preserving  kettle  of  tbe  finest  porcelain  is  best;  but  if  you  have 
nothing  but  an  earthen  pipkin,  it  will  do,  with  care.  See  that  the  linen  in 
which  you  wrap  him  is  nicely  washed  and  mended,  with  the  required 
number  of  buttons  and  strings  securely  sew£d  on.  Tie  him  in  the  kettle 
by  a  strong  comfort  cord.  The  duty  cord  is  breakable  and  apt  to  let  him 
fly  out  of  the  kettle  and  become  burnt  and  crusty  on  the  edge.  Of  course 
you  know  that,  like  a  crab  or  lobster,  you  have  to  cook  him  alive.  Set 
him  near  a  clear,  steady  fire  of  love,  neatness  and  cheerfulness.  If  he 
sputters  and  fizzles,  do  not  be  anxious.  Some  do  this  until  they  are  quite 
done.  Add  a  little  sugar  in  the  form  of  what  confectioners  call  kisses,  but 
no  vinegar  or  popper  in  any  account  A  little  spice  will  improve  him,  but 
it  must  be  used  with  judgment.  Do  not  stick  any  sharp  instruments  into 
him  to  see  if  he  is  becoming  tender.  Stir  gently,  watching  the  while  lest 
he  lie  too  flat. and  too  close  to  the  kettle,  and  so  become  flabby. 

If  thus  treated  you  will  find  him  digestible,  agreeing  nicely  with  you 
and  the  children.  He  will  keep  as  long  as  you  like,  unless  you  become 
careless  and  set  him  in  too  cold  a  place.
