that must be sea soned entirely after cooking is never so effective as one seasoned during the cooking no matter how choice the foodstuffs used careless season ing leaves the cooked dish fiat and un interesting naturally tastes differ widely but the essential point to keep in mind the necessity of choosing a seasoning that will bring out and enhance the flavor of materials used salt sugar pepper and various spices are always at hand and the clever use of them is the art of cooking salt is necessary in nearly every dish prepared desserts candies and sweet of all kinds gain in flavor it cleverly salted any combination containing milk or cream requires salt a few grains of salt added to coffee improves the beverage inadequate salting is the cause of many tasteless dishes sugar improves meats sugar is another everyday seasoning that works wonders when judiciously used unless vegetables are fresh from the garden a little sugar is need ed to restore their natural sweetness a bit of sugar rubbed into the roast con tributes greatly to its richness and flavor all dressings or sauces con taining lemon juice or vinegar require a little sugar to emphasize the acid both sugar and salt are helpful in blending several flavors into a smooth perfect combination highly spiced sauces and bakedstuffs are dependent on skillful seasoning with salt aud sugar the strength of spices and salts varies those which have been ex posed to the air lose much of their savoriuess also some foods absorb more seasonings than others sunday school lesson lesson x december 3 paul in ephesus acts 19820 golden text blessed are they that have been persecuted for right eousness sake mitt 51 the lesson in its setting time pauls three years at ephe sus ad 535 pauls three months in greece and journey to jerusalem ad 57 place ephesus corinth mace donia troas miletus fruitful preaching in ephesus acts 1hs and he entered into the synagogue it is both pathetic and heroic to see how paul clung to his people giving them the first chance at the gospel everywhere he went though he was uniformly repulsed as he had just been in corinth and spake boldly for the space of three months by this time it required great boldness to proclaim jesus the crucified as the messiah of the jews reasoning and persuading as to the things concerning the kingdom of god paul was a logician one of the most convincing the world has seen but when some were hardened and disobedient they had been opposed to the gospel but their opposition grew hard and permanent speak ing evil of the way before the multi tude the early christians called themselves men of the way hav ing reference to christs frequent ref erence to christianity as the way of life and to himself as the way the truth and the life these ephesian jews did not content them selves with failure to believe they began to defame the son of god be fore the crowd he departed from them and separated the disciples the prcious jewels of gospel truth were no longer to be wasted upon these jewish brutes reasoning daily in the school of tyrannus thi tyrannus otherwise unknown was probably a teacher of philosophy or rhetoric who occupied the apartment at other hours and this continued for the space of two years pauls stay in ephe sus was longer than that in any other city that he evangelized persever ance in a good cause is sure to be re warded in the end so that all they that dwelt in asia not the contin ent but the roman province of asia the three little countries on the west ern seaboard of asia minor caria lydia and mysia whose metropolis was ephesus heard the word of the lord probably paul did not confine his work to ephesus but went forth into the other cities of the province paul did not give up his own people but continued to preach to them as he had opportunity mak- 1 ing converts among them as well as among the greeks the sons of sceva acts 19 1116 and god wrought special miracles by the hands of paul al though st paul believed that god for the furtherance of the gospel did allow him to work powers beyond the range of human experience and in which he humbly recogiized the work of the spirit granted to faith nd irayer yet he by no means frequjntly exercised these gifts and never for his own relief or during the sickness of his dearest friends inasmuch that unto the sick were carried away from his body handker chiefs or aprons paul did choose most simple things lest any supersti tion might arise by reason of the price or pomp for he resolved en- tirelv and fully to give all the glory to christ and the diseases de parted from them and the evil spirits went out we have just had another example of the exorcising of a demon by paul in the case o the demoniac slave girl and we are soon to have the most wonderful of all miracles worked by paul the raising to life of the dead eutychus but certain also of the strolling jews then as now the jevs were f nd in all parts of the world ex orcists they were quack physi cians adopting any cure that struck the popular fancy took upon them to name over them that had the evil spirits the name of the lord jesus took upon them implies audacity impudence unholy daring saying i adjure you by jesus whom paul preachcth they heard what paul said and treated his words as a magic charm or spell to drive the evil spirits out and there were seven sons of one sceva a jew only two of the seven are mentioned as attacked by the evil spirit and probably the other five were not present but all seven joined in the evil practice a chief priest who did this probably at some time this sceva had been head of one of the twentyfour courses of priests who ministered by turns in the temple and were called chief priests and the evil spirit answered re plied to their incantation and said unto them jesus i know and paul i know but who are ye the evil spirit knew that jesus had the power t cast out devils and that to paul the same power hal been ganted by- jesus but asked sharply who ire ye that ye dare adjure devils by jesus the son of the living god as if ye were endowed with an apostolical right to expel devils and the man in whom the vii spirit was leaped on them and mas tered both of them and prevailed against them the extraordinary strength of the demoniacs like our insane when the fit was on them is illustrated in the case of the garar- ene demoniacs matt 828 luke 8 2030 so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded gener ally in the new testament the word naked refers to a partial rather than an entire destitution of clothing the great bonfire acts 19 203s and this became known to all both jews and greeks that dwelt at ephesus any supernatural oc currence is quickly spread abroad and fear fell upon them all- and the name of the iord was magnified it was made very plain both that the power of jesus was great and that it was perilous in the extreme to do disrespect to that power many of them that had believed cane confessing and declaring their deeds the natural effect of such an occurrence was to induce a horror of magicial arts and the like and not a few of them that prac tised magical arts brought their books together and buried them in the sight of all it was like the great bonfire of vanities in he square of st mavk in florence when under the powerful preaching of savonarola rich women brought their costly dresses and finery artists their most valued pictures musicians their instruments wealthy men their most precious jewels and tossed them into the flames as a sacrifice to the deity and a token of their repentance for their sins and they counted the price of them and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver the total amounted to from 50000 to 100- 000 a considerable sum as such books were very expensive so mightily grew the word of the lord and prevailed it was not a mere skulking creeping progress it was not a mere gradual acceptance by one and another of a religion commending itself to the hearts and minds of men it was for once mighty growth of the word rsrr real eeauties comments events around the dial by austin moran they were doing their part 15 years ago the

produce a bet ter flavor than black hut it is con sidered a bit easier to digest ml is less noticeable in white sauces and dishes that are not highly colored as a seasoning for meats and dark sauces black pepper is more effective be cause the real strength of the pepper berry is found in the outer shells of which black pepper is made cayenne pepper must be employed very spar ingly but a deft use of it lends zest to many a dish paprika is a pleasing spice in both flavor and color and deserves a pro minent place along with salt and pep per in soups sauces and salads or with flsh meats and vegetables its mild sweet flavor is desirable its dft- licato flavor and vivid color mak it an excellent garnish also remember there are two kinds the hungarian which is pungent and decidedly stimu
