ANDREW'S CHURCH MR. AND MRS. G. W. Mc- LAUGHLIN GIVE PIC- TURE "PEACE" Is Subject of Sermon by Rev. F. J. Maxwell, Pastor of Church A 'beautiful picture, "Peace," which has been presented to the Sunday School of St. Andrew's United Church by Mr. and Mrs. George W. Mc- Laughlin, provided the subject for an interesting address last evening by Rev. IY, J. 'Maxwell, pastor of the church, on the subject, "A Beautiful Picture of Peace. The picture, a large oil painting, was painted in London, England, by Bouverie Goddard, and was purchased by Mr. McLaughlin recently at a sale in Toronto, whence it had been brought from Great Britain. It de- picts the prophecy of Isaiah, in verse six of chapter eleven, "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them." \ The prophecy, said Rev. Mr, Max- well, related to the time when the Messiah should triumph, and when the passion of men and beasts should be subdued and peace should reign. "All nations are beginning to sec that there is a much better way of settling international disputes than by war, and that there is a peaceful settlement possible in every interna- tional dispute," he said. The great-leaders of all nations were seeing the folly of war, said the speaker. Kellogg, of the United said that for 2,000 years the nations had been vainly striving to find peace and prosperity by war; Churchill, known in Britain as a mili- tarist, said that even the most com- plete military victory did not accom- plish a lasting result; Frederick the Great had exclaimed, "If my soldiers would really think, not one of them would be in this battle;" and Napo- leon, on St. Helena, said, "War up- sets everything, the more I study the more I am convinced of the inability of brute strength to settle disputes." Merchants 'and neighbors were no longer resorting to the duel to de- cide questions in dispute, why then should nations? asked the speaker. One of the bright signs of the times was the new enthusiasm for the re- duction of armaments and the settle- ment of all international disputes by peaceful means. Isaiah had not been content how- ever to prophesy that men would be- come at peace with each other; he had. widened his predictions to in- clude the animals of the lower plane. Countless examples of devotion to helpless children by otherwise fero- cious animals, and many incidents of companionship between animals or- dinarily classed as bloodthirsty, and other animals and even men, forced men to acknowledge that even in the animal world brute force was not the only force by which beasts were gov- erned, and that kindness had its more powerful sway, he declared. Despite the utterances of pessimists, the people of the earth were dropping brutal tendencies, and living more in harmony with one another, Nation after mation was becoming converted to Christianity, and the world - was moving nearer to the day when the prophecy of Isaiah would be fulfilled. And it was becoming more and morc evident that Christ had a real place for children in bringing their parents and others into a right. relationship with Him; truly, "A little child shall lead them," the speaker deciarcd. Try using a gravy boat to fill jars and tumblers with jelly and preserves. It can be dipped into the hot liquid by means of the handle and the long spout will fit into almost any size jelly tumbler and thus prevent waste by spilling.

The following be found helpful. "Don't wear gloves that zre too small; they are apt to breuk out; have the right hand fitted. Don't put gloves on too hurriedly. 'Don't pull gloves off by the cuff-- the cuff is for decoration only. Don't forget that delicate kid gloves will quickly show rough usage, Don't pull long gloves over the arm until the head 1s well fitted. The right way to put gloves on is to work the fingers 'on thoroughly before inserting the thumb. This will prevent straining the rest of the glove. It may require a little more time, but it will insure more wear and greater satisfaction. The wrong way to put gloves on is with the thumb inserted at the same time with the fingers, thus causing strain on the gloves and resulting in tear later. The damage caused may not show until some time afterwardbut it will even- tually weaken the skin and ruin the gloves. { "don'ts" will "In removing gloves, they should be turned inside out and rolled gently off the fingers by clasping the body of the glove itself. After being re- moved, the glove should be pulled gently into shape and laid flat, as gloves that are frequently allowed to remain rolled after removing will crack and pull away from the seams when they are worn again. "Drop stitches and broken threads in fabric and silk gloves are easily caused by the gloves being too small or by being caught on ring points or other sharp objects, In washing gloves, beneficial re- sults should be obtained by follow- ing these suggestions: Make a suds of pure, mild soap, melting the flakes as directed on the packages, Wash and rinse the gloves on the hand using lukewarm (barely warm) water. Do not use hot water. Press the suds through the soiled spots--do not rub. Rinse thoroughly, squeezing water out and being careful not wring or twist. After removing the gloves from the hand, they should be reshaped carcfully, Puff the fingers by blow- ing into them, and then lay on a towel to dry them. Do not expose the gloves to sunlight or attempt to dry them on a radiator. the to Helpful Hints for Harassed Housewives If you want to clean the children's leather windbreakers try using one part vinegar and two parts linseed oil.

From now on Parisian children will not confuse the hair-cutting chair with the dentist's chair, All suen wapleas- ant things as neck scrapers and clipping scissors are concealed in brightly colored boxes. What is perhaps nicer is that when a yourg person has to wait for his or her turn, there is a won- ! derful wall decoration to look at, picturing all the old fairy stories of France, There are also low tables and chairs, the right sort of reading material and a phonograph which turns on the right melodies to in- terest small folks. MINISTER SCORES BRIDGE PLAYING IN MOTHER'S LIFE} IS "DAMNATION" WHEN} REPLACING CARE FOR | HER CHILDREN Bouquets Presented at King Street Church to Oldest and Youngest Mother "An occasional game game of cards. may | or may not be of any harm; but when any mother allows a game of bridge to take the place of her hus- oy and her children, it becomes a damnation to her," declared Rev. C. E. Cragg, pastor of King Street Church, in his sermon yesterday mor- ning. Rev. Mr. Cragg was referring to an incident in Toronto recently when a mother, who had a bridge en- gagement, had lulled a sick child to sleep by a sleeping powder and had left it alone in the house, the child subsequently dying. Rev. Mr. Cragg's subject in a spe- cial Mother's Day service, was, "A Great Woman," his sermon centering around the story of the prophet Eli- sha and the woman who had reserved a guest chamber for him and who entertained him every time he passed through her village. This custom of the early life of Canada, of having a guest chamber in the home princi- pally for the entertainment of the minister, was one of the finest foun- dations of the country's development, for it brought the ministers of the church into intimate contact with the home life and the young people of that day, said Mr. Cragg, who re- gretted the passing to such a great extent of the former custom of open hospitality. Good looks did not make a woman great, although this woman of the Bible was a fine looking woman, Mr. Cragg declared. Neither did intellec- tual ability, nor the fact that a wo- man was a social light, "although hundreds of women today 'break their mecks' in an endeavor to be social lea- ders," he said. A woman might be ambitious yet not great, although there was no harm in the worthy am- bition for goodness of self and fam- ily. "The woman of the Bible story was great in her purpose, which was to build a home--she had married be- neath her, and yet her chief purpose was to make a comfortable home," he said. Another way in which this woman had shown her greatness was in her belief in the prevailing power of prayer. She had no child, and through prayer was granted a son. Then, when the boy died, she sum- moned the prophet, and through pray- er he was restored to life. 'None of us know," said Rev. Mr. Cragg, "how many hundreds of people are restored to health, or restored to a right relationship to God, through the prevailing prayer of a mother, It is mothers and their prayers that re- deem humanity." In closing, Mr. Cragg urged the members of the con- gregation that, if their mothers were living, not to let any patience or trouble be too great in being of ser- vice to them. During the service, bouquets were presented to Mrs. George Vice, over 80 years of age, who was the oldest mother present, by W. H. Grooms, for the .adult Bible class; and to Mrs. George Hause, aged 21, the youngest mother present, by Mrs. O. D. Friend for the Ladies Aid Society. During the service, "Home, Sweet Home" was sung, unaccompanied, by 2 male quartette comprising H. C Treneer, F. Walters, B., Wood and F. Hare, including verse especially written for Mother's Day by Mr, Tre- neer, organist and choir leader of the church. F¥, Herring also sang a solo appropriate to the day, and a Moth- er's Day anthem was sung by the male choir which led the musical ser- vice. THE POOL The water pond or pool is a new feature of decoration. The home lot has become glorified and is no longer 'the back yard". Ito has developed into "the sunken gard- en," in which a generous price may be sunk, what with stone benches, bird bath, sun dial, gazing globe, rare shrubbery, the rock garden, and the pool. The pool is usually made of ce- ment, One resourceful woman de- vised a pool for her sun parlor which she had made of copper, so that it would not rust nor leak.
