The Authority of Jesus.
Lesson for January 12: John 2:
1-16.
Memory Selection: John 2:23.
Two incidents given in the lesson
text show the authority of Jesus-
over the things of nature and over ,
men. Both incidents were, as were
others of his miracles. Id demonstra
tion of the power of God working
through Jesus. The reader may also
think of the feeding of the five thou
sand, calming the waves of Galilee,
ond the many works of healing.
Attending the wedding feast, .
jesus showed his interest in the so- •_
>da2 life about him, and leads us to ‘
j infer that the true religion that cen- t
Iters in him has an abundant place
[ter Joy and happiness. Certainly
Jesus was not an ascetic, and he >
•did not call upon us to forsake the
j world but to Uve worthily in it: i
The great temple on Mount |
Moriah had been made the seme of )
graft and corruption. Concessions |
were found in the sacred enclosure )
and the wrangling of purchase and ,
the jtngiing of money being changed \
Into the temple shekels made a |
of noise where only the voice l
of prayer should have been heard.,
The presence of animals to be sold
lor the several sacrifices polluted the *
holy place. Jesus attacked this >
stronghold of medal privilege and >
swept the temple dean. Consider j
91% pure bravery and its marvelous
upon those who had pro- ;
God's house. i
The only limitation to the Lord’s
iority is that set by himself in *
giving man a will and the power of
choice. “Our wills are ours, to make
them Thine." The authority of the
right. Indeed of high heaven itself,
should have free way in our lives
and command our glad obedience. 1 j

I F you want to make aome home
made soap It’S really very easy.
Just invest in a can of lye and fol
low the directions on the label.
There’s no need to save wood ashes
and leach them few
i your lye the way
our grandmothers
did—buy the lye
and there you are
- all ready to begin.
Nevertheless there are tricks to
soap making. It’s a good idea to
watch the temperature of the lye
and the grease and mix them
when both are lukewarm. The
fat should be clear and free from
all “settlings." If the fat is on
the rancid side ti should be well
boiled and skimmed. Some soap-
makers thing they get better soap
if they mix hard and soft fats,
heated and strained through sev
eral thicknesses of cheesecloth,
no matter what kind of fat it is,
will make good laundry and
dish-washing soap.
No two people use the same recipe
for soap making. Some women even
add oil of lavender and have a toilet
soap. Others add coal oil—kerosene
—some add ammonia and others add
borax. The following recipe is tried
and true and the soap makes a
splendid suds.
Hard Laundry Soap
One can lye, 5 pounds clear, clean
grease, 5 cups water, 4 tablespoons
borax, % cup ammonia.
Pour lye into an enameled kettle
containing the water and stir with a
long handled wooden spoon until the
lye Is dissolved. As a precaution
against a bum keep a cup of diluted
vinegar near by in case a drop or
two of the solution spatters on you.
The lye will become quite hot so alt
low it to cool Melt grease and cool
to lukewarm. Dissolve borax in
ammonia fid add gradually to
grease, stirring constantly until it
Is thoroughly mixed. Add to lye,
stirring constantly and continue to
stir for around ten minutes. When
the mixture thickens pour into molds
and cut in bars before it becomes
hard.
Shoe boxes make good molds but
of course any stiff cardboard box or
small wooden box can be used.
After the soap is cut in bars let
stand until hard. Then break apart
and let stand a few days to ripen.
Again recipes differ because some
advise letting the soap age for six
weeks before using.
