In this respect, lamb 1s a most 'accommodating meat and any cut, no matter how little it costs, may be prepared in a vari- ety of appetizing ways. It is (rue that some cuts ol lamb are higher in price than others, which is partly due to the greater demand for these cuts. Therefore, if you are interested in saving on the family budget, it is wise to se- lect -the less-demanded cuts of lamb. You are sacrificing nothing in flavor, tenderness or nutritive value; , you are merely taking advantage of your knowledge of limb possibilities over the "hit-and-miss". shopper who thinks of fresh lamb only an terms of leg and loin, and your reward will he an appreciable saving in dol- lars and cents. nh Most of the forequarter cuts of fresh lamb helong to the economical group; shoulder, breast, shanks, neck, as well as trimmings suitable for stews and ground meat dishes. The neck is a cut rich in meat extractives which give meat its fine flavor and is usually used for stews, patties, and broths, The shoulder gives delicious, large, meaty chops and roasts," while the shank is a smal- ler cut whith can be roasted, stew- ed or used for broth. i The breast is mosf suitable for roasting and stewing, or may be used in a boneless lamb roll made up from shoulder, breast, and shank, Any desired weight may be bought in this form to make a splendid piece of solid, fine-flavored meat for a family roast, ment's bulk is the chief drawback at present, but the inventor is confid- ent that it can be reduce] ta-pocket- camera size. cece pit It is zaid that the smallest person ever born was Lucia Zarate!

"The Beard in a speech at a meeting of American teachers and school super- intendents at St. Louis is one that is central in 'all discussions of aca- demic freedom," oh Newry the Balti- moye Sun.. Professor Beard said the present age is inescapably one ot conflict" and, since honest teaching cannot overlook that reality, it must, therefore, take account of subjects which are controversial and of muit- ters about which people feel stronz- ly. And one of the chief hopes which tertain is 'that a more . exact and profound understanding of the causes and the nature of deep and universal difficulties will eventually equip mankind to overcome them in large measure. To disregara the issues which this study involves, or to treat them as if they yielded at once to easy formula, is to falsify the whole position and to defeat the most important ends which ecduca- tion has 'in view. That was what Professor Beard said when he re- marked that the "perversion of in- struction" by the blinking of palp- able facts, and the -hushing of all ideas which" may be recardea as dangerous, "is more than a betrayal of knowledge and truth. It 'assumes that knowledge and truth are of no importance; that a nation can live by lies and dégeption." So [ar as we can see that rarcu- ment is irrefutable. IPallacious ideas are best dealt with when they are openly exposed; "dangerous'" sub- jects are never rendered safe by sup- pression. If education not only neg- lects the conflict of ideas, but rvuoles out all reference to that conflict in a period which 'breads it, the bright- est hope that exists for resolving our problems is condemned. + Natives of Papua have to get per- mits to wean clothes, according to Sir Hubert Murray, Lieutenant-Gov- ernor 6f Papua.

They had no doubt entered into a life of prayer at the heginning of their fellowship with Jesus, wth great earnestness and perhaps with Iaith. ful regularity, but, as persecution and misunderstanding arose, as the first thrill of their discipleship passed, and the burdens of their ministry be- ceme heavier, their prayer life andy casily have become mechanical, "And he said unto them." The fol- lewing prayer has been divided into two parts. The first has Deen called "The Purposes of God," the second has been called "The Pilgrimage of Man." ) ' "When ye pray, say, Father." In the Old Testament God is seldom spoken of as Father, and, then, in reference to the nation Israel, not to the indi- vidual (Deut. 32:6; Isa. 63:18; Jer. 3:4, 19; 31:9; Mal, 1:6; 2:10). Thus the Lord Jesus really gives to men, for their life of fellowship with God a new name. : "Hallowed be thy name." The name of God expresses the character of iod, To hallow his name means to treat as holy, to venerate (1 Pet. 3:15 "Isa. 20:23), "Thy kingdom come." The earth is the 'very centre of God's king. dom. It is here that he had proposed to reveal his glory in the ages to come. Jesus is to he King over all the earth and to sit on (he throne of his father David. This is the true and ule timate meaning of the 'prayer, "thy kingdom come." ' "Gives" day by day our dally bread." We might translate the first phrase, literally "continue giving to us." The petition includes move than that_of the one in Matthew, where, interpreting literally, the petition is for bread "for the coming day." In Luke, the petition might be para. phrased: "Continually give us day by day our bread for the coming day. "And forgive us our sins; for - we ourselves also forgive every one that is indebted "to us." Somé one says, That §s not the ground of grace and that does not helong to us. Let it be remembered that -Jesus did not. give that prayer to men outside the King- outside, steeped, in sin, IT do not say, If you promise to forgive, you will be for- given. The man outside gets his for- giveness with no condition, when he prays, but, onte he is in the kingdom he does not get forgiveness unless he is ready to forgive, unless he has for. given. "And bring us not into tempta- tion." Temptation is sometimes spo. ken of in Scripture as coming from God, sometimes as coming from Sa- tan. God tempts no man to evil. but for good; he tries and tests, as he tempted Abraham ind the children of Israel in the wilderness. Satan tempts unto evil; he tries to infuse evil into the human mind. "And he said unto them, \Which of your shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say to h'm, Friend, fend me three loaves." In the Orient, to avoid heat, travel is often engaged in at night. \WWhen the books are opened, it will be discovered that more imporfunate and prevailing prayer has been offered at midnight than at all the other hours of the day and night taken together. "For a friend of mine is come to me from a joyrney I have nothing to set before Mim." Even the deepest poverty was not.held to excuse the primary Eastern virtue of hospitality. "And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not." It is the trouble that he minds, not the part. QUNDAY CHOOL gssON ing with the bread. It is the mood of a. man made heartlegs*and selfish by comfort. Comfortable people, we know are, apt to be hard-hearted. =~ | ern doors were n6t so easily opened ag are those of our northern homes, where all one needs: tp do is to turn a key in the lock and take hold of a kuob. "And my children age with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee." In Oriental homes, frequently the members of entire families would sleep in the same room, "I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him because he is his friend, yet because of his importun. ity." The English word importunity comes from the adjective importune, which in word meaning unfit, unsuitable, trou- the condition of he'ng unseasonable or inopportune and in this case, trou- blesome pertinacity in "solicitation. : "He wijll -arise and give him as many as he needeth." Possibly the 'man's generosity may have been in- creased by his own conviction that he had, up to this point, acted most sel- fishly. "And I say unto you." The "I" here is emphatic. The same voice in the preceding verse introduces a "state- ment based upon the natural reason, but the voice in this verse introduces a statement based upon the definite authority of the Lord Jesus, who alone can-make promises to men, concern- ing the effectualness 'of their prayers before the throne of grace. "Ask and it shall be given unto you; seek, and yo shall find; knock and jt shall be opened unto you." These three verbs are in the present imperative and mean continue asking. John 16:24; Matt. 21:22; Mark 11:24. "For every one that asketh receiv- eth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knockelly it shall be op- ened." What an experience it is, what a moro than heavenly joy it is, when the door is at la3 opened, and the loaves are handed out. - "And of which of you that is,a fa- ther shall his. son ask a loaf, and he give him a stone? or a fish. and he for a fish give him a.serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he give him a scorpion." Similar words were spoken by our Lord in his Sermon on the Mount (Matt. 7:9-11. The appeal of the Lord Jesus here is to personal ex. perience. i "Il ye then, heing evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Heavenly Father "give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?' It is evident, that none of the disciples, With the pos- sible excgption .of Mary of Bethany, asked for the Spirit in the faith of this promise. It was a new and stag- 'gering thing to a Jew, that, in advance of the fulfillment of Jgel 2:28? 29, all miglit receive the Spirit. To go back to the promise of Luke 11:13 Is to forget Pentecost, and to ignore the truth that now every believer has the indwelling Spirit (Rom. 8:9, 15; 1 Cor. 6:19; Galatians 4:6; 1 John 2:20 and 27). > "No Women Wanted E OTTAWA.--Very Rev.
