You can buy frillins: by the yard to use to trim youv new dresses and blouses or you make frilling yourself at small expose. On the blouse shown in today’s sketch a simple and effective sort of gathered frilling is used that you should know more about. To make it you will need strips of ma terial six inches wide. Figure how much frilling you need and then add half the amount, to tell how long your strip should be. That is ■m/ ^ /or f/ie oitte by Hancu Hart Experience Service Facilities Those *.re the important things in measuring the worth of a funeral director, and should be borne in mind .when you have occasion to choose one DISTANCE IS NO HINDRANCE TO OUR SERVICE and there is no additional charge for service oat of town J. S. STROM Main Street McCormick, S. C. AN ADV. WILL HELP YOU — — - * No matter what you may want— buy, sell, find, trade, or rent—an ad vertisement in THE MESSENGER will help you. There is no limit to the results it may bring. Your mes sage goes into the homes of several hundred people, and will be read in leisure time when decisions are made. You won’t miss the small amount that advs. in this paper will cost. ‘\ x-t if you need twenty inches of fin ished frilling you should have 30 nches of th2 six-inch strips. Lay tho strip of material before you and measure the sides off in two-inch spaces. Then make lengthwise bastings two inches ?rom each edge. These bastings vill be two inches apart. Now nark off a scroll betwen these two bastings so that each scallop is two Inches wide. Mark this scroll lightly with crayon and have the material machine hemstitched along this line. When the work is done cut carefully along this line so that you will have two strips with scalloped edges. By this ar rangement there is no waste of material and you have two strips of material from the six-inch wide strip with which you started. Now make two or three rows of shirring an eighth of an inch apart along the straight line of the strips. If you are going to use the frilling for accessory collars and cuffs mount this shirred edge in a nar row band of cotton material and stitch down. Shirred frilling of this sort has a decided advantage over pleated frilling since its ap pearance Is not changed by wash ing and ironing. GOOD WITH NUTS Hickory Nut Macaroons Mix one cup of lut meats, chop ped fine, with one cup of sugar, one-half cup flour and one egg Drop on buttered tins and bake in quick oven. Hazelnut Cake Nine ounces of flour (a pint of sifted flour, heaping measure), four ounces of butter, four ounces of sugar, four ounces of chopped haz elnuts, four eggs, teaspoon of van illa, quarter teaspoon of salt, tea spoon of baking powder. Bake in shallow pan in medium oven and when cold, ice with boiling icing. Good Salad A smart tea-room .serves this combination, which is indeed de licious: A mound of potato salad on a lettuce leaf or two on a plate, and lying against the mound, on each of its four sides, a bone less, skinned sardine. This is real ly a very delicious luncheon com bination, and one that would be of the cosiest for home preparing. With Mint An attractive confection can be made from mint leaves. Select regular leaves and boil them for a minute only in a syrup made from one cup of sugar and a quart er cup of water. The syrup should have been boiled a few minutes be fore thp mint leaves are added. Take the leaves from the syrup and let dry for four or five hours. Have ready an unbeaten egg white. IMp each leaf in this and dust with fine granulated sugar, and let dry on the top of stove or in an open oven. Parsnip Saute Having boiled the parsnips, cut them in long narrow strips like cigarettes. Put them into a sauce pan with a large lump of drippings or butter, and shake occasionally until the butter absorbs and the edges of the parsnips become slightly browned; do not allow ;hem to fry crisp. Chop a table- *poonful of parsley fine, stir it, with pepper and salt, into the parsnips, and serve. Shepherd’s Pie Cut cold mutton into inch dice and place in a baking dish. Cover with hot gravy. A thinly sliced onion may be added if liked. Boil, mash and season 1 quart of pota toes and heap on the pudding dish. Bake in the oven until the pota toes are browned. Spinach Au Gratin Chop two cups of drained spin ach and add a little salt and pep per and two cups of medium thick white sauce. Butter a baking dish, put in a layer of this, then a lay er 6f bread crumbs and a layer of cheese. You will need one cup of the crumbs and one-half cup of grated yellow cheese. Continue un til all ingredients have been used.

GOLDEN TEXT—But ye shaJl re ceive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samatia, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus’ Friends Carrying; on His Work. JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus’ Friends Car rying on His Work. ‘ INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—The Coming of New Power. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Empowered for a World Task. 1. The Holy Spirit Promised (Acts 1 :G-S). , i. q'he disciples’ question (v. C). They said. “Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?” They were right in their ex*- pectation of the kingdom, for it had been covenanted to David (II Sam. 7:S-1G). predicted by the prophets, and declared to be at hand by John the Baptist and Christ himself. However, they were in darkness as to the call ing and establishing of the church. 2. Times and seasons in God’s hands (v. 7). Christ turned their attention from the desire to know times and seasons, which belong alone to God, to their supreme duty. The Christian’s supreme obligation is to preach re pentance and remission of sins through the shed blood of Jesus Christ to all the world (Luke 24:4G-41>) In the power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8). 3. The missionary program (v. 8). The Holy Spirit came to empower them to preach the gospel to the world. a. In Jerusalem. This witnessing was done by the twelve immediately fol lowing Pentecost. b. In Judea and Samaria after the hands of wicked persecutors were laid upon them. c. Unto the uttermost parts of the earth. Beginning with the first for eign missionary enterprise this work has been carried on with varying de grees of success till the, present time. II. The Holy Spirit Given (Acts 2:1f). 1. The time of (v. 1). It was on the “Day of Pentecost.” Pentecost means fifty. It meant, therefore, the feast that was held fifty days after the wave sheaf was offered (Lev. 23:15, 1G). It was observed by presenting two.loaves made of new wheat (Lev. 23:17). These loaves were baked with leaven while leaven was excluded from the Passover Feast (Lev. 23:6). The rea son for this was that the Passover Feast typified Christ’s sacrificial death, while Pentecost represented the Church, composed of Jews and Gen tiles—the two loaves. 2. Upon whom the Spirit came (v. 1 Cf. 1 :13-15). The twelve and others to the number of 120. The gift of the Spirit was not merely for the twelve but for all believers. 3. Marks of the Spirit (vv. 2-8). a. The sound of a mighty wind (v. 2). This suggests the all pervasive life-giving power of the Holy Spirit. b. Tongues of flame (v. 3). Each of the 120 was crowned with such a tongue. “Tongues” show the practical purpose of the Spirit’s gifts, and “fire” indicates his purifying energy. e. Speaking in other tongues (vv. 4. 8). Men of every nation heard the gospel in their own tongue. III. The Holy Spirit Working (Acts 2:14-47). 1. Peter’s sermon (vv. 14-40). This sermon is as wonderful as the gift of tongues. It demonstrates the presence and power of the Spirit, because Peter was a Galilean fisherman without lit erary training. His analysis is per fect. lie begins with a brief defense and scriptural explanation of the phenomenon of tongues (vv. 14-21), and follows by a threefold argument proving the messiahship of Jesus. In his conclusion he appealed to them to repent and he baptized in the name of Jesus. 2. Three thousand converted (v.24). Many people were convicted of their sins. 3. The abiding fellowship (vv. 42- 47. The evidence that the Spirit had really come and that his work was real was that a. The converts continued steadfast ly in the apostles* doctrine (v. 42). b. They continued in fellowship with the apostles (v. 42). The surest way to grow is to keep in fellowship with Christians. e. In using the means of grace (v. 42). They continued in the breaking of bread. God has instituted ordi nances in his house. d. In prayer (v. 42). The apostolic church was a praying church. e. In praising God (v. 47). The ex perience of the indwelling Spirit is sues in praise to God. ILLS RATS and mice—that’s RAT-SNAP, the old reliable rodent destroyer. Comes in cakes—no mixing with other food.
