"Amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the Lord your God." ? Jor. 26:13. PRIMARY TOPIC ? God Saves a Brave Prophet. JUNIOR TOPIC ? The Story of a Brave Prophet. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC ? Standing Bravely for the Right. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC ? Jeremiah's Message to His People. I. Jeremiah's Solemn Warning to | Judah (vv. 1-7). ? The Lord commanded him to stand in a conspicuous place in the Temple and proclaim the judgment, which was about to fall upon them because of their sins. The object was to provoke them to repentance (v. 3)., it they would not repent, God would make the Temple as Sliiloli (v. G).. Just as Sliiioh was once^-Uie dwelling place of the Lord and now fallen into decay and abandoned, so will It be with the Temple. Jeremiah was sent to speak the words which the Lord had told him and not to diminish a word. II. Jeremiah on Trial (vv. 8-11). 1. Cause of Arrest (v. 8). It wa9 for faithfully , speaking all the Lord had coimnunded. The one who speaks boldly what God commands shall be opposed. The time-server and self seeker will noi stand for such ^ min istry. *rire Isaiahs and Jeremiuhs must suffer. 2. The Charge (vv. 8, 9). It was a capital crime. They said, "Thou shalt surely die." His guilt .according to their charge was twofold: *(1) Pre tending to speak for God; <2) Speak ing against the temple and the city. According to their charge he was guilty of blasphemy and sacrilege. The one who prophesied without God's command was to be punished by death (Deut. 18:20).. Blasphemy was also punished by death (LeV. 24:16). Both Jesus aifd Stephen were accused of blespuemy. 3. The Princes Sit In Judgment (vv. 10,11). When the excitement reached the ears of the princes they came to Judge of the merits of the case. Mat ters of state were not entirely in the hands of the priests and elders, but were partly controlled by members of the royal family. III. Jeremiah's Defense (vv. 12-15). Threats of death did not deter him from preaching, but only made 1dm le peat his message. 1. Reiterates His Diving Commis sion (v. 12). ' He had nothing to deny, but to repeat what he had said. He ? plainly told thom that in opposing him they were opposing God, for he was God's messenger. 2. His Exhortation (v. 13). He urged them to amend their ways and obey God, and God would not bring upon them Judgment. 3. He Gave Himself Up (v. 14). rfe did not resist the powers of govern ment (Rom. 13:1). Knowing that he was sent of God he was content to trust God for delivers aoe. 4. Warns of Fatal Consequence (v. 15). He frankly told them that God had sent him, and If they killed him they would be guilty of defying God. Woe would not only fall upon them, but the nation and city would suffer. IV. Jeremiah Saved (vv. 10-24). He* was acquitted. God Is abte to raise up friends and advocates from the ranks of those who oppose us. 1. Judgment of the Princes (v. 10). They pronounced him not guilty, as he had spoken in the name of the Lord. Jeremiah's words convinced them that he was speaking the truth. 2. Speech of the Elders (vy. 17-23). As the princes probably Represented the king, so the elders represented the people. The elders pleaded for Jere miah and adduced several cases In Illustration : (1) Micah (vv. 18, 19). Micah had prophesied against Jerusalem, but King Hezeklah instead of putting lilm to death, repented and thus turne^ aside the punishment which was Impending. (2) Urijah (vv. 20-23). Urijah prophesied against the city and land and thus Incurred the wrath of | Jehoiakim, who even brought him back from Egypt whence lie had fled and slew him. Though all this was done, Judgment was not thus thwarted. Killing God's prophets does not prevent God's judg- , ment, but intensifies it. In the case of Hezekiah God's Judgments were, turned aside through heeding the words of the prophet, and in the case of Jehoiakim Judsmertt fell upon the na tion because of refusal and maltreat ment of the prophet. 3. Rescued by Aliikam (v. 24). Ahl kam must have been a man of influence to be able to Interfere at such a time. Opportunities We may not at first see it, but al most always opportunities are hiding back of the, difficulties ? and It pays to hunt them out. ? iV . . * ? > ?*"*? ^ - m , mm t m "S J,: v # V - ?

USE BISCUIT DOUGH FOR'f MAklNG $AKES Opinions Differ as to Merits of Old-Fashioned Delicacy.: ????? i r ?? (Prepared by the Ignited States Department of A?riculture.)j 1 ? Opinions will always differ as to the respective merits of the "old-fashioned strawberry shortcake" made with bis cuit dough, and the kind In which "cake" literally cake. The suc cess, of the first kind can always be relied on If the housekeeper is con sidered a good biscuit maker, for she simply bakes her biscuit dough in one large round piece in a pie tin, and splits it open when done. She may, of course, cut the dough with a cookie cutter and bake individual shortcakes If she prefers. j j If one wishes to make the other type of strawberry shortcake it Is sometimes a question as to just which one to use of the many different cake recipes offered in the cookbook. Many persons prefer a sponge cake or sun shine cake. Tfcis !s not a "short" at s :u ? I ? | Strawberry Shortcake. all and it combines pleasantly with the whipped cream tht^t garnishes the strawberries. Tlie following recipe is recommended by the experimental kitchen of the United States' Depart ment of Agriculture. i . Sponge Cake. 4 effprs ' % pupful pastry \ cupful sugar flour 1 teaspoonful va- } % teaspoonful salt nilla . 1 teaspoonful bak 1 teaspoonful- lem- lng powder on juice To the well-beaten yolks of eggs ?gradually add the sugar and the flavor ing. Sift together twice, the flour, salt and baking powder, and fold into the egg yolk and sugar. Fold this mixture into the well-beaten egg whites. Bake the cake In shallow pans In a moderate oven for about 30 minutes. This makes two sheets about 7 by 10 Inches. When done, place the two sheets to gether with the slightly crushed ber ries and whipped cream between and on top. The whipped cream should be sweetened and flavored. ! Government Recipe for Making Superior Starch An excellent starch is made by add ing one cupful of water to from one to four tablespoonfuls of starch, ac-, cording to the stiffness desired, says the United States Department of Agriculture. When the paste Is smooth add one-half tablespoonful of borax, one-half teaspoonful of paraffin or white fat and one quart of boiling water. Boil 20 minutes, stirring thor oughly until clear and smooth. Jf a scum or lumps form, strain. Use hot for all except colored clothes. , Turn garments wrong > side out before starching and starch first [those things In which the most stiffness Is desired, as water from the garments thins the starch. Freezing and wind both take* the starch out of clothes. } ISCRteNS SHOULD GQ~ jJpEARLY W SPRtNti ? - Hoatekeeper Will Guard ; , . ' Against JFlies. ) rpreoared b r the United 8tatM Dapartrntnt (Preparea or ^ There are three general measures to. be observed in combating flies in the home : Keeping them out entirely, by means of ^screens; using fly paper, traps, and poison to destroy any that manage to get in; getting rid of all near-by breeding places, through per sonal or community effort. The bureau of entomology of the United States Department of Agricul ture has explained many times overj exactly why the common houfife fly is such a dangerous visitor. Every school child understands that this in sect breeds in manure and decaying garbage, that the adult may alight on animal or human excreta and then fly directly to the food on the table, car rying filth and dangerous disease germs, and that a ^ell-screened house, promptly closed doors, and a good fly swatter are aids in protecting the fam ily from contamination and possible sickness. ' m / .1 ; ? It is the part of the good house keeper to have the screen doors and window screens iu place early in the season before the flies get into the house, and to trap, or otherwi.se kill, as many of 'the early-season flies as possible, before tl^ey have had an op portunity to multiply. An individual female fly will lay from 120 to 150 eggs at one time and will usually lay from two to four such batches during a sea son. These eggs will hatch, under fa vorable conditions, In less than -4 hours. The *larva, or1 worm, stage usually lasts, lu" summer, from four to seven days and the pupal, or sleep* Ing stage from three to - six days. A few- flies usually manage to get lu any house during the warm weath er, either when doors are opened and shut, or through unnoticed cracks or spaces prou?d screens, broken window panes, or other entrances. All foods should be kept covered or screened so that stray flies cannot light on them; Putting sticky fly paper and poison preparations about helps to rid the house of those which accidentally get ' In. A very effective fly poison Is mad? by adding three teaspoonfuls of com mercial formalin to a pint of milk or water sweetened with a little brown sugar. . It Is perfectly obvious, from all that*. Is known and has been written about the life habits of the house fly, that screens, flytraps, fly paper, and poisons would be unnecessary If Ml 'substances in which flies lay their eggs and breed were properly attended, to. These include horse, chicken, hog, and cow manure, fermenting garbage, human excrement, and a great variety of fernienting and decaying 'Vegetable and animal materials. All accumulat ions of these substances should be eliminated, or, if this is not possible, tightly covered or screened so that flies cannot reach them. In the coun try the main" source of flies Is the necessary manure , heap. Farmers Bulletin 851 tells how to care for ma nure so as to reduce this difficulty to a minimum. The proper disposal of sewage in rural districts is also of the greatest ? Importance because of the likelihood of the spread of fly-borne diseases ? from human excrement. Other bulletins of the department make valuable suggestions forfcnod ern methods of sewage disposal for the farm home. OF IMPORTANCE TO KEEP FOODSTUFFS DRY Closet Arranged to Keep * Dry Foodstuffs Dry. (Prepared by the United 8tatea Department of Agriculture.) The keeping quality of foodstuffs, such as flour, sugar, raisins, dried com, and rice and other cereals, depends chiefly on the fact that they are dry. In the home, therefore, .these foods should be kept dry and plean and protected against insects and other vermin. For tea, coffee, and spices the containers should be as nearly air-tight as possible In order to prevent loss of flavor. Dried meats, such as smoked hams, strips of bacon, and jerked beef, and home-dried fruits and vegetables are best kept in muslin bags hung In a clean cool, dry storeroom. If dried meats are hung in the cellar or dried fruits .or vegetables are stored in the steamy kitchen, they are likely to mold. There are special points about keeping milk, fresh meat, fish, poultry, eggs, leftovers, fruits, vegetables, cooking .fats, table oils, bread, crackers or canned goods, all of which are discussed in a new Farmers' Bulletin 1374, en* titled "Cure of Food In the Borne." It may be obtained as long as the supply, lasts, by applying to the United States Department of Agriculture, / t] r f - 'f ???"? ? f* -r? _ -- ? - | r >'&*-#'* I >i* fv ^\| 30 D*y?'

Sap TISTS tell us that wholesome properly raise i biscuits contain more calories and more nourishx lent than any other bread. But every one , knows tl: at to be healthful and easily digested, bis cuits mu it be carefully and properly baked. "Happfl y, my experience has shown that it is almpst impossibly to *nalrf> poor biscuits with ? self-rising flour," writes a housewife of Blythe . Wood, SpC. "My biscuits in the North, made i tHth ordinary flour, were invariably a failure, but I can truthfully say that when I use self-rising flour the reverse is the case. . . . Through a number |of years' experience I have found self rising flour to be all and more than its manufac turers-claim it to be, ? ? ? Its convenience and economi rln saving both time and labor can hardly be over-estimated." , Because! it simplifies the work of baking and practically eliminates failures, self-rising flour is the most economical flour you can use. Asidf .from this, dietitians and food experts commend its healthful equalities. Next time you cook bisj ?rising flour.
