FOR ETERNAL LIFE
?"Love God Supremely, and Thy
j Fellow-Men With True, Zeal
ous and Constant Love."
THIS is a personal question for ev
ery one to solve for himself. "What
?can I do to inherit eternal life?"
It is written, "This is life eternal
ito know Thee, the only true God."
It is important to know there is
.eternal life, and to know what it is;
?hut the all-important thing is our per
iSonal relation to this great truth.
Do I "know Thee, the only true
God?" For others to know is well fox
]them, but their knowledge will not
answer for my ignorance. The great
question to be resolved is "What shall
J do to inherit eternal lifer'
Through it is evident that the law
yer in the Book of Luke propounded
.this question with an ill and mean de
sign, yet it was a good question, and
Addressed to the one above all others
(best able to answer it. The lawyer
did not believe that the master, as he
.called him, could give any new light
.An the subject Whatever the answer
might be, ho hoped to be able to re
JDIJ that it contained no other direc
tion for ultimate happiness than what
was already known.
The lawgiver paid no attention to
rthe malicious design to tempt him,
hut at once answered the lawyer with
a question, "What is written in the
Jaw. How readest thou?"
He came to catechise the master,
and the master turns to catechise him
and to make him know himself. He
?treated him as a lawyer, as one ac
quainted with the law, and bade him
practice according to his knowledge.
The lawyer answered discreetly and
rwisely that the divino law commanded
*Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
[with all thy heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy strength, and
<with all thy mind; and thy neighbor
as thyself."
The Master's Answer.
And the master said unto him,
"Thou hast answered right; do this
and thou shalt live; live forever
have eternal life."
They were not speaking of the
earthly lif.-, and when the master said
"Thou shall live,'* he meant eternally.
The lawyer is still in doubt as to
one point, or appears to be, in order
io justify himself, and asks, "Who is
my neighbor .'"
The Phar:- ees had wrong notions
about who were to be regarded as
their neighbor.;. They did not under
stand that tho Gentiles were included
in the command "Love thy neighbor
as thyself."
The master, to correct this errone
ous idea, ans we; ,-d the lawyer's ques
tion by a parable representing a poor
Jew in distressed circumstances be
/ "inf^jSiisspred and relieved by a good
.Samaritan. Thc priest and the L?
vite saw the man on the roadside who
had been robbed a ad wounded, but
they "passed by on the other side."
The pood Samaritan when he saw
lim had compassion upon him and
bound up his wounds and brought him
fto an inn, and took care of him.
"Which of these three," asked the
lawgiver of the lawyer, "thinkest thou
was neighbor to him that fell among
thieves?"
And he 6aid he that showed mercy
on him.
Then, said JesuB unto him, "Go and
/do thou likewise."
The answer to the great question
rwas extorted from the lawyer's own
?mouth.
Fulfilling of the Law.
"What shall I do to inherit eternal
life?"
Love God supremely, and all thy fel
low-men. with a true, zealous and con
stant live. "Love is the fulfilling of
rthe law" and whosoever fuliilis the di
rvine law shall be free from the law
of sin and death and shall live for
ever. Love is immortal and ihey in
?whom the divine spirit of love for
Cod and man dwells can never die.
"For God so loved the world that he
?gave his only begotten son, that who
soever believeth in him should not
jperish, but have everlasting life."
It is also written that God, through
?his love and abundant mercy, hath
?provided for his obedient children "an
[inheritance incorruptible and unde
nted and that fadeth not away."
' Oh the gracious thought of an in
heritance that is fadeless and a life
.that is endless.
"And this is eternal life, to know
(Thee, the only true God."-Rev. Har
dey S- Irwin.
African Boy Preacher.
' The Christian Observer tells a beau
Itiful story which illustrates the pos
sibilities of Christian work in Africa.
iDr. William Morrisor Us of a com
imunity in Africa where he found a

?boy twelve years old as teacher and

by his parents began to teach his lit

ilage gathered around and stated that
?they could not allow the boys to learn
jsomething that they did not know;
K o the boy became the teacher of the
?men. Finally they said to him: "You

NEED FOR CARE IN SWEEPING
Effective Removal of Dust Without
Unpleasant Results Requires Care
in Operation.
1 Sweeping should be a process of
complete and careful removal of dirt,
its purpose being to geather the coarse
dirt with the attached dust, and its
aim to scatter as little of this dust as
possible into the air, in order to pre
vent a transfer of dirt from one place
.0 another. In order to sweep carpets
and rugs effectively a somewhat in
flexible, stiff broom is best, because
it reaches into the depressions and
among the fibers to dislodge the dirt,
says Mother's Magazine. If the broom
is too dry it will Bnap and throw off
a great deal of dust, consequently it Is
always best to have the broom a little
damp so that It will hold the dirt
down and keep it all together.
The raising of dust is always more
or less of a problem. But with Bhort,
light, wiping, overlapping movements,
and then by the stopping of the broom
on the floor Instead of in the air, most
of the Inertia of the rising dost cur
rent may be overcome. In removing
the gathered dirt from the floor to the
dustpan, which ia another occasion for
dust to find its way back to the car
pet, If a newspaper dampened can be
fitted over the dustpan and made to
stand up as far as possible at the back
and sides a surprising amount of fly
ing dust will be collected in this way.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS OF VALUE
Best Method of Sweetening Jars or
Tins-Hov/ to Ascertain if
Coffee ls Pure.
To sweeten jars and tins which have
contained tobacco, onions or anything
else of strong odor, wash the article
clean, then fill it with fresh earth,
cover it and let it stand for 24 hours.
Then wash it and dry it and it will
be quite sweet and fit for use.
If you wish to know whether your
coffee is pure sprinkle a small quan
tity on the surface of a tumbler of
water. Pure coffee floats; the adulter
ated article sinks to the bottom and
discolors the water. This is a sim
ple but effective test.
To remove fruit stains from table
cloths, cover with powdered starch
and leave this in the stain for a few
hours. All the discoloration will then
be absorbed by the starch.
In cases ol illness where ice is not
procurable for cooling the head of
feverish patients, cut a strip of cucum
ber, peel rather thick and lay the in
ner part on the forehead. It is deli
ciously cool and remains so for a long
time.
Kitchen Easket.
Have you ever thought of the con
venience a kitchen work basket might
be? If not. 'do arrange to have one
at once. The moments you will save
by its installment will be many. Place
a comfortable, low rocker in the
brightest corner of the kitchen and
near by make a nook for your work
basket. Into lt drop such sewing as
requires no machino, work, the stock
ings to be mended, the bit of darning
and unfinished garmeuts which re
quire a little hand sewing to complete
them. While waiting for a cake or a
pudding to bake or the kettle to boil
many odd stitches may be taken and j
much accomplished.
To Make French Pancakes.
Take two ounces of butter, two
ounces of fiour, two ounces of sugar,
two eggs, a little baking powder and
half a pint of milk. Beat the butter
with a wooden spoon until creamy,
all the eggs slowly, also the sugar,
flour and baking powder, and when
quite smooth stir in the milk. When
well mixed turn the mixture into sau
cers which have been previously
rinsed in hot water, BO that they do
not crack. Have them well buttered,
and put in the mixture about half an
inch thick. Bake in the oven a nice,
crisp brown, and when done put a lit
tie jam in each pancake, fold once a
serve.
Lemon Apple Pie.
Grate the rind and strain the juice
of two lemons. Pare, core and chop
fine one large tart apple. Round two
crackers very fine. Mix with two tea
spoons of melted butter. Mix the
lemon juice and rind and apple with
two scant cups of sugar. Beat the
yolks of two eggs to a thick froth and
the whites stiff, mix and beat togeth
er and mix with the lemon, apple and
sugar and add crumbs and butter.
Beat thoroughly and line two pie tina
as for custard pie. Pour in filling and
baku until crust ls done.
Quick Graham Bread.
Two cupfuls of graham flour, one
cupful of white flour, one-half tea
spoonful salt, Bift together. Add two
large ; ablesponfuls of molasses and
about rwo cupfuls of sour milk in
which one teaspoonful of soda has
been dissolved. Mix to rather stiff
batter, "urn into greased bread pan
and bake at once for one hour in slow
oven. J
Grapefruit Salad.
Peel separately the sections of
grape fruit, remove the seeds and
skin, blanch Malaga grape? by throw
ing into hot water for two minutes, cut
In two, remove seeds, mix with grape
fruit and serve with mayonnaise dress

South Carolina Plans to W? Back
Southern Record Lost
in 1913.
Atlanta, Ga.-(Special.)-Enthusias
tic plans are already under way in
Georgia, South Carolina and e<aoV
Southern states tor the 1914 corn club
contests. Those contests have in
creased the South's corn production
by millions of dollars during the past
few years.
H. G. Hastings, chairman of the ag
ricultural committee of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, has renewed
for 1914 his annual offer of corn club
prizes in South Carolina and nine
other Southern states. Mr. Hastings
offers $1,200 in prizes. Of this amount
$100 goes to South Carolina in three
prizes of $50, $30 and $20 each. These
prizes aro awarded under the direction
of the United States government of
ficials in charge of the farm demon
stration work.
Word comes that the South Caro
lina boys are going to make a power
ful effort this year to regain the South
ern record, which they held in 1912,
but which was taken away from them
in 1913 by Alabama. The South Car
olina . "ord of 228 bushels, held by
1er ore, was beaten by 232 bush
ised by Walker Lee Dunsoa of
jama.
An interesting echo from last year's
contest comes from Arkansas, where
tho $50 prize, offered by Mr. Hastings,
was won by a 14-year-old girl. Miss
Delphine Moore, who competed against
2,400 boys, because there was no giris*
club in the state.
The corn club work has made won
derful advances throughout the South.
The fathers of the corn club boys, who
first looked on the movement as a
fad, have at last come to realize its
great practical value and are now just
as much interested as their aon&
