Such a, shad^ may be fouud "in the shadow of the great rocc, ' which in mountaiiious sectiona juts «out from tiiue to time from the sur- roundiag barrenness. 8uch great rocks are always moat weicome to the traveller. In tiie long shadows rttat by them there is reireshnient «id rest. Often A SPRINQ OF PUREST V/ATEU gushes from the rock. Vegetation tourishes in the rock's shadow. Ihere is safety, too, in t!i6 caverns <{ the rock against the sudden at- tack of marauders. So David sang "Thou are my rock and my hidicg place." Safety, refreshment and k:6piration are found "in the sha- flow of a great rock in a weary land." Au honorable man in business, in politics, in social life, is a great rock in the circle in which he i^oves, affording refuge, encourage- ment and inspiration. A man of honor in business whose word is as good as his bond, who scorns tri'ik- ?ry, who gives good measure, wfiiso acrvice is honest, whose work la up to standard, is such a rock. The influence of his character ir toot confined merely to those w;>o eome in contact with him. The ihad'jw of his influence reaches to jnultitudes w^hom he does not kno .v who observe him, take notice of hi? integrity and uprightness and know thereby that honor is not yet 'lead among men and are encouraged in their own place and sphere to imi- tate his e.xample. Such, likewise, ig the influence c' a noble woman in the social life of the day, in the midst of the ."can dal of the time, surrounded by tne malicious gossip of a community, for gossip is usually malicious an'i has little connection with the truth. Such a woman puts the vicious j to silence, the scandal-mongprs to j shan.e and renews our faith .'a th3 innate purity of womanhood. Her j influence reaches far beyond the circle of her acquaintance. She is at a "GEEAT ROCK IN A WEARY LA2>.D." The great names in history view- ed from this point of view are great rocks of safety, refreshment and inspiration in a toiling, struggling world. Serene and immovable, like giant peaks, they live their lives in a higher atmosphere, in the midst of petty, self-FfKiking, mean, ambi- tious and cringing selli.shncss of their day. In their presence moral distinctions, which in the hazy at- mosphere in which most of us live heccme obscure and blunted, grow clear and plain. The grace of God can make us rocks of influence in the midst of circles in which we live. Consider St. Peter, the "man of rock," whose name Simon was changed to Peter (which in the Greek means rcK-k). Originally vacillating, un- stable and impulsive in disposi- tion, Christ saw in him qualities that were noble and rocklike and named him what through his grace ho would become, Peter, the "man rf rock." So with all of us. We can overcome faults and failings in our lives ; there can be developed in use new graces and virtues un- known to us, so that standing four square and immovable in the midst (,f the untoward infl.iences of this world, we, too, may be rocks of re- fuge, encouragement and inspira- tion, casting a shadow of blessed influence upon multitudes in this weary world. REV. DE WITT L. PELTON. THE S. S. LESSON ' IXTEEXATIOXAL LESSON, Al'GUST 8. Lesson YI. PuuPs Instructions to the Thessalonians. Gulden Tc.\t, 1 Thes. 5: 15. I. Characteristics of the First Epistle to the Thesoalonians. â€" Note the facts in "The Lesson in Its Setting." 1. Review the circum- stances of the Thessalonian church <s given in Acts 17. See Lesson III, of this Quarter. Three mis- â- ionariea had come there from Philippi, two of them torn and bruised by terrible flagellation at Philippi, emerging from the lowest .dungeon of a prison, their whole •spect bespeaking "their poverty, their sufferings, their earthly in- aignificance. A famine, says Farrar, '"was raging in the Roman empfre, and the commonest necessaries of 'life had risen to six times their •proper value." These poor per- â- secuteil wanderers supported thein- . selves by weaving black goat's hair into tent cloth. Here they .preached a few weeks, founded a ^church, and were driven away by persecution. , 2. Paul longed to visit them ^again, and made three vain at- .tempts to do so, from Berera, from •Athens, from Corinth. He felt their need of training and of more knowledge of the truth, of comfort, ° of guidance. 3. Tiraothv had just come back from Thessalonica, and had brought a report concerning the church, giving a favorable account in gen- eral. But two facts were made known by him. One was that they were suffering severe persecutions from both Jews and Gentiles; the other that they were discouraiged and troubled by the death of some beJore the second coming of the Lord Jesus. 4. The Epistle is very personal and retrospective, breathing a spirit of affection and of joy. It is full of "sweetness and light." "A loving, fathtily spirit breathes in every lino." 5. If it srcms strange that such a letter could be written to a church founded by Paul less than a year before, implying "the wonderful maturity of this infant church, when we compare it with the slow progress of modern missions wo must remember that the first churcii members were Jews and re- ligious proselytes, long trained in the religion of the true God." Moreover, many of the Greeks were cultivated and thoughtful people, â- who through the gospel had been enlightened by the Iloly Spirit. II A Lesson in Morals for the SuihtliiK Up of the Noblest Chris- tian Life.â€" V. 23. First, the Ideal and Aim. The first sentence-s of the Lord's Prayer, and, therefore, of ah prayer and all living. It is as necessary to have the right goal of life as for a sea captain to know the port for which he is s:.'ling. It is by the ideal that we test our daily lives. "The religious view of heaven is no unpractical thing. Think of it, earth the place where heaven is shadowed forth 1 This means that our life and affairs and conduct are to show forth the very highest that we can know or con- ceive. If then heaven be the place of the real and true, is not that great, and noble, and practicall" The same is true of life. Every young person should know definite- ly and decidedly where he wants to go, what he wants to become, what is his ideal. 23. And the very God of peace. Better as R.V., "the God of peace himself," the God who brings peace â€" peace with himself, through sins forgiven, and natures in har- mony with his ; peace in the soul, peace of conscience, the peace of trust in God our Father ; peace of righteousness, for it is only when righteousness is "as the waves of the sea" that "peace can flow like a river"; peace with nature and providence; peace with our fellow- men. Sanctify you. Make you holy, pure, free from sin and im- perfection, from every taint of evil. Wholly. Unto completeness, to full perfection, in degree and in kind ! Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: . . . and grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ (Eph. 4: 13, 15). Whole spirit and soul and body. Every part of your nature, the spirit that allies us to God, the highest moral nature. And soul. Our real selves, our immaterial nature, including all the faculties of our being. And body. The home of the soul, which should be as pure as a temple of the Holy Ghost. No one is preserved blameless, i.e., without spot or imperfection for which one can be blamed. No one is perfect till his body is under per- fect control of his moral and men- tal nature, a perfect instrument of the spirit. Unto the coming, Greek "in (or at) the coming" of our Lord Jesus Christ. As in Matthew 25, that you may be among those on his right hand, belonging to, having a part in his everlasting kingdom of righteousness and love.

Wireless telegraphy, of course, has to a certain extent revolution- ized old-fashioned methods of ship Signalling, and we had a striking demonstration of the value of Mr. Marconi's invention as applied to the transmitting of distress signals at sea. Although vessels many Jiiles distant from each other can now talk by the aid of wireless tele- graphy, however, flag signalling is still used, as hitherto, when one vessel is passing another and wishes to ask or answer a question. JUNIORS DIP TO SENIORS. Flag etiquette is, in fact, strict- ly observed by captains of vessels, toi by its means they are able to act in a courteous and polite man- ner towards one another when on the high seas. For instance, when two liners belonging to the same owners sight each other at sea they hoist flags immediately, and in pas- sing the junior captain always dips his ensign to the senior captain. Then, again, according to that nau- tical authority, the editor of the "Shipping Gazette," if two liners belonging to different owners pass each other at sea, and the captains happen to be acquainted, the mas- ter who realizes that he is the jun- ior invariably dips to the other ship. TRAMP STEAMERS AND LINERS. In the case of a British liner sighting a foreign liner there is no definite practice, but, as a rule, the commanders of foreign liners courteously dip to any large Brit- ish liner they meet on the high seas. It is just a matter of courtesy, and often the commander of a British vessel will run up his ensign first. A certain code of etiquette ex- ists, too, between the tramp steam- er and the liner. If a tramp steam- er approaches a liner, it is not cus- t<jmary for the latter to hoist her flags unless the tramp takes the first step. Then, as soon as it is seen that the cargo boat has hoist- ed her flags, the liner responds. Mail and passenger liners, for in- stance, when passing along the coast of Portugal, may sight dozens â- ^f cargo steamers, and, naturally enough, will not show their flags unless the tramp does first. But if a dozen or more cargo boats hoist- to their flags to the liner, the lat- ter would be expected to acknow- ledge them. INTERNATIONAL SIGNALLING. In the case of men-o'-war, all merchant ships, tramps, or liners dip their ensign, whether British or foreign. Signalling between British warships and merchant ships has received a good deal of attention during recent years, and both naval oflicers and mercantile officers welcome an opportunity of signalling to each other. In fact, commanders of liners rarely sight men-o'-war at sea that do not have their colors flying as soon as the liner is in sight. It is nearly half a century ago since the system of sea signalling called the "International Code of Signals" was compiled in conse- quence of action taken by the Brit- ish Board of Trade, and adopted by nearly all the commercial na- tions of the world. The system con- sists of eighteen flags and a code pennant. In using and interpreting these signals it is, of course, nec- essary to be in possession of the signal-code book, in which the nieanings attached to the flags and combinations of the flags are print- ed. Each nation, however, prints its own copy of the signal book in its own language, and thus two ships totally ignorant of each other's language may converse by means of these flags. \ ih^ Home COLD DISHES FOR WARM DAYS Emancipation from serving hot, heavy meals should be the house- wife's declaration of independence during the summer months. If her family has not yet learned that summer should be mother's vaca- tion time, too, let them begin lee- sons at once. When possible it is good to follow the custom of women m smaller towns and serve the hot meal at noon, and a cold supper, generally with creamed potatoes and tea biscuits as the hot dish. Coid sliced meat, salad, and fresh fruit complete this sensible menu. Many housewives have their famil- ies trained to eat cold rice or mush and mlik, or merely a dish of berries or other fresh fruit and cake for the evening meal. This plan is more difficult for the city or suburban housewife, whose men folks eat a hasty luncheon at noon and depend tin plays as a food, but they have discovered that it is not worthless as food and that it is sufficient to sustain life when combined with other substances which would them- selves be wholly insuificient if given alone. Gelatin must always be flavored to render it digestible and nutritious. It is a fine food for the sick, especially valuable in cases of diaeaae of the intestines, as typhoid fever, bo much when you are in- clined to look upon gelatin as only a "fancy" food used for decorative purposes, remember that you can well aSoid to serve it. Aspic is gelatin made of the meat stock. One can make a great variety of vegetable aspics. Boil the vege- tables (one or several), as carrots, beets, celery, peas, string and lima beans, asparagus, and when coid cut them into dice, slices, or fancy shapes. They can be arranged iu layers and covered with the aspic, letting each layer harden a little before arranging the next. When covered with the aspic set away to harden. Chicken, tongue, and other meat aspics are delicious. With a little experiment, one can become expert in decorating a mold with designs of hard boiled eggs auu vegetables, arranging the slices of chicken or mieat attractively and I covered with the aspic, so tlie dish on a hearty dinner at night.

Seam Board. â€" When ironing vests and linen suits, in fact all garments *ith heavy scams, use a thickly padded board ; an inch thickness is none too much, tetarch in mod«^r- ately thick, well cooked starch. Dry thoroughly before sprinkling, ^18 the stick element in starch ivaporates in drying. Let garments stand at least two hours after sprinkling. Starch should never be allowed to get cold and lumpy, sticky starch is the result. When ironing vests stretch garment well into shape; begin ironing on wrong side, then rignt side,' alternately, until thoroughly dry. Finish on wrong side if dull finish is desired. A thickly padded board is half of the battle. Whice Clothes. â€" If there are rurt spots remove by an application o£ li-mon juice and salt, place in thd sun.

Like individuals, the nations of the earth have nicknames. Some are appropriate, some are not. Englishmen, for instance, are called "John Bull." That's all right, because they have "the pluck of the brute." A Scotsman is "Sandy"; an Oirishman "Pad- dy" â€" from his national patron saint St. Patrick; while an ancient nur- sery rhyme proclaims that "Taffy was a Welshman." The French- man calls himself "Jacques Bon- homme" â€" Good F'ellow ; and Cou- sin Michel is the nickname by which the German is known to Continent- al nations ; Mynheer Closh â€" an ab- breviation of Nicholasâ€" is the name applied to Hollanders ; the Switzer rejoices in the appellation of Colin Tampon. And we all kuow Uncle Sam. SURE ENOUGH. "You must not interrupt me when I am speaking, Ethel.'' "Why, that's the only time I can interrupt you, mama."

The tomato and the milk a:-o heated separately, the latter be- ing cooked and strained soda is added to the tomato and it is stirred into the milk, not vice versa. Season with salt, popper, and butter to taste. City house- wives buy the tomato soup in cans and make creaju of tomato with that. This soup served in cups with whipped cream ana an English wal- nut on top is a dainty first course at luncheon. Onion soup is populai- with the French and Italians. To prepare this put two ounces of but- ter in a saucepan and when melted add a tablespoonful of flour, stir and when it begins to turn yellow, add four or five onions sliced. Stir until fried, add one quart of broth and let boil about fifteen minutes. Mash through a colander, put bock on the fire, give one boil, salt auid pepper to taste. Have a slice of b.ead or bits of toasted bread (crcnitons) in the soup tureen. Italians serve grated cheese with onion soup. This is the national soup.
