stale bread stale bread and rolls may serve in delicious guise not only in the fam iliar bread puddings but as accom paniment for cream soups melba chips croutons and toast sticks are easily prepared and are crisply de licious the melba chips are made from stale rolls sliced crosswise in very thin slices these are placed in a shallow pan in a slow oven to dry out and brown the smaller the rolls the more attractive the chips the slices before drying should not be more than an eighth of an inch in thick ness and with a sharp knife this may be lessened to paper thinness croutons are made from stale bread the bread must be firm of texture and fine stale but not too dry the bread is sliced about half an inch in thickness and these arc cut into halfinch cubes with a very sharp knife the crusts of course are removed the cubes may be dipped m melt ed butter and browned in a moderate oven or they may be dropped into a kettle of hot fat and fried a golden brown the fat should be hot enou to make them crisp and brown in six ty seconds the croutons should be stored in a widemouthed jar or cov ered bowl until they are used they are served in one of two ways 1 passed to each person im mediately after the soup is placed before him the dish may be an or dinary vegetable dish or bowl with a tablespoon in it 2 if the soup is served from a tureen english fash ion at the table the host places one or two tablespoons of croutons in the dish before ladling in the soup croutons are supposed to go into the soup ami form a part of it crack ers on the other hand are never i broken up and dropped in the crou tons are never eaten with the fingers toast sticks are also made from stale bread instead of being cubed the bread is cut into slices about threequarters of an inch thick and these in turn are cut into sticks threequarters of an inch wide and three to six inches long the sticks are toasted in a hot oven and serv ed unbuffered like crackers they may be piled up logcabin fashion each person helps himself and but ters the stick or not as preferred the toast sticks are not broken in to the soup but are eaten from the fingers time or whether the fish of their own accord had come

summer unci fall of ad 28 place the fishingsee and the call of matthew with the para bles which follow took place en toe shore of the sea of galilee in and near the city of capernaum as did also the healing of the paialvtic the miracle of the healing of the leper took place somewhere in gali lee now it came to pss while the multitude pressed upop him and heard the word of god luke is the only one of fha gospel wiicr who characterizs the subject of christs preaching as the word of god 811 21 1128 that he was standing by the lake of genne- sarel this is the only place in the xew testament where the sea of galilee also called the sea of tiber ias is referred to as the lake of gennesarct tim name is perhaps a corruption of the old hebrew word kinnereth which means a harp and if one will look at an outline of the lake on a large map one will easily see the appropriateness of such a name and he saw two boats standing by the lake but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets the washing of the nets was preparatory to hanging them up to dry and he entered into one of the boats which was simons and asked iini to put ofu a n lie jioii iriitl it is significant that the recoro docs not state that the lord asked for the boat and he sat down and taught the multitudes out of the boat he was truly the very word of god a teacher sent from god anil he seized every opportunity in ful filling the divine commission which had been given to him and when he had left speaking he said unto simon put out into the deep and let down your nets for a draught we hesitate to auid out into the deep of faith into the deeps of gods care into absolito trust and to surrender to him pad dling about in the shallows our life becomes shallow and simon answered and said master tile original word here used by luke is different from any other word employed by the other gospel writers translated in our bibles as master it literally means an overseas or superintendent oc curring only in luke and only in ad dressing christ 824 15 033 40 17 13 we toiled all night and took nothing but at thy word 1 will let down the nets there is no es caping the test at a certain mom ent in our experience often long after we have become disciples the master comes on board the ship of our life and assumes supreme con trol there cannot be two captains in the boat if it to make a suc cessful voyage and return at last laden to the waters edge with fish and when they lad done this if they had not done this there would have been no results they inclosed a great multitude of fishes and their nets were breaking whether the lord brought a great multitude of fish from some other part of the lake at that particular the big bills the day of the largesized twodollars and five dollar just about over the reign arge bills lasted for quite a dollar bill is of the while but it will soon be a rare thing to see one handed over the counters of our stores ov through the cages of our banks according to bank man agers and some of the proprietors of the largest stores in the town the big bills arc disappearing rapid ly and the prediction was made that before very long the small bills in troduced not o very long ago will be in evidence there must be reason for this ami there is when the small bills were brought out they were thought to be more or less a nuisance now the tables have turned the large bills are placed in that category and the bankers in particular have no desire to handle them its easily understood if a banker has a couple of hundred one- dollar bills to count mostly small ones but with the odd big one mix ed in its a difficult job then again placing them in a bundle with small bills is not the easiest thing exchange are as numerous as the vagaries of illiterate
