To prevent this a col- lar of lint should be slipped over the neck ot the bottle to absorb the oil. To make the collar, take a small square ot lint, cut a round bole in the centre just large enough to fit over the bottle neck, and trim the corners oft neatly. When the collar becomes saturated with oil replace It with a fresh one. To keep the cork ot an oil bottle firmly In place lay a small rub- ber band across the top ot the cork, stretch the ends dow non each side of the bottle neck, and secure them just below the rim by tying a string tightly round. The band will keep the cork in position, but will stretch sufficiently to allow it to be taken out and replaced. To Mend Lamp Shade Parchment lampshades which hare split may be mended with an adhesive transparent tape, which will be scarce- ly i>erceptibie. Washing Rugs Small rugs may be washed quite simply at home. Shake well to re- move loose dust and rinse thoroughly in cold water. Then prepare a large vessel ot lukewarm soapy water, using flaked soap and squeeze the TMg well in this. Rinse In warm, and lastly In cold, water, using one teaspoon ot vinegar to every quart of water for this last rinse. Put through wringer with a very loose tension and shake vigorously to raise the pile. Dry In a warm place or in the wind, shaking ouce or twice during the drying. Cretonne and colored cotton curtains will look much better if washed In bran water instead of with soap. It does not harm the colors, and imparts S slight stiffness to the material, so that starching is unnecessary. .\n e.xcellent ironing blanket can be made from old newspapers. Stitch to- gether several large sheets, keeping tUcm quite flat. It will be found that the newspapers retain the heat. When making a milk pudding or a baked custard, stand the dish in an- other di.sh containing cold water. The custard will not boil over, and will be quite firm when cold.

April 9. Lesson II â€" Jesus Requires Confession and Loyalty â€" Mark 8: 27-38. Golden Text â€" Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. â€" Mark 8: 34. ANALYSIS. I. THE CONFESSION, Mark 8:27-30. II. THE CHALLENGING CALL. Mark 8.: 31-38. Introduction â€" Leaving Decapolis, Jesus made His way into sjme desert region. After satisfying th physical needs of the crowd (Mark 8: 1-9) he c-ossed the lake to "Dalmanutha." There he encountered some Pharisees who engaged him in the ujual con- troversy, vs. 11, 12. The departuitj for Bethsaida seems to have been hur- ried; thL disciples forgot to provision the boat, vs. 13, 14. The lack of real understanding revealed in what fol- lowed (vs. 15-21) indicates how urg- ent was the need for training. The healing (vs. 22-26) h.id the usual re- sult. Jestia moved on again. I. the confession, Mark 8:27-30. Going northward, Jesus and the disciples made their way up the south- em slopes of Mount Hermon until they came into the towns growing up around Caesarea Philippi. Here again Jesus seems at last to have Tound the quiet retreat which he had been seek- ing so long. We now come to another stage in the Costly Way. This stage (Mark 8. 27 to 10: 45) is marked by solemn and repeated predictions of approaching death for himself, and persecution for his disciples, Mark 8: 31; 9: 31; 10: 33. They "ring out like the muffled strokes of a bell," giving the whole section a tense and sombre character. Suddenly Jesus asked his moment- ous question, v. 27. Qiwting other people's opinions is always easy (v. 28), but Jesus made it personal, 'Whom do ye say that I am?" Peter broke the silence with his great con- fession, v. 29. The disciples had been coming to this conclusion for some time. Their faith, wavering as it often was, would l>e streni^-thened, made r.ore definite, by this expres- sion of it. "No impression without expression," say *he psychologists. Hence the evangelist at a re\'ival meeting calls for a public decision. He knows that it will strengthen the faith of the convert. Temperance workers call for a pledgei It is easier to be a Christian if one joins the Church. Not until he had a cliaiice to ac- quaint the people with the new idea of Messiahship would Jesus permit the truth to be told. Divulged now, it would do more harm than good. II. THE CHALLENGING CALL, Mark 8.: 11-38. To Peter and the others, "Mes- siah" meant the national deliverer for whom Isiael had hoped for cen- turies. All that w-as needed m,w was to give the signal, march on Jerusa- lem, and there inaugurate the new kingdom. But they had to learn a disappointing lesson. Their Master was different from the Messiah they had planned for. Njt by the way of military stratagem and triumph, but by the way of suffering, rejection, death, resurrection, was he to win liis spiritual kingdom, v. 31. Peter's vehement protest must have reminded Jesus of the first time that an easier, more popular alternative presented itself to him. Did not the Tempter suggest that God would pro- tect his faithful servant? Matt. 4: 6. Quick as lightning came his answer, "Get thee behind me, Satan." Once more it was the Costly Way, vs. 32, 33. Ha now called openly upon ..!1 the people to undertake with him this hazardous venture, v. 34. The terms of discipleship were self-denial. To "deny" oneself ia not to do without sugar in one's tea and put the money i ' the missionary box, desirable as that might be. When Peter "denied" Jesus in the High Priest's palace, he "repudiated" his Master. Here is the stme word. To deny (.neself is to re- pudiate oneself. "It doesn't matter about me" must be the attitude of every follower tf the Christ. It is only the one who can take this attitude toward himself ^ ho will be able to take up the cross, v. 34. A "cros.s" is not one of the many trou- bles which liCe brings to us â€" a pain- ful illness, a financial loss, a wayward .son. It is the hard and dangerous way which we deliberately choose when an easier, safer way is open to us. Dr. Maclaren said: "The law for every disciple is self-denial and tak- ing up his cross. How present his own cross must have been to ,?hrist's vision, since the thought is introduc- ed here, though he had not spoken of ii. in foretelling his own deathi It i? not Chri.st's cross that we have to Next year was the fiftieth of her reign, and iu Juno the splendid anni- versary was celebrated In solemn l)omp. Victoria, surrounded by the highest dignitaries of her realm, es- corted by a glittering galaxy ot kings and princes, drove through the crowd- ed enthusiasm ot the capital to render thanks to God in Westminster Abbey. In that triumphant hour the last re- maining traces ot past antipathlaa and past disagreements were altosether swept away. The Queen wa« hailed at once as the mother of her people and as the embodied symbol ot their imperial greatness; and she responded to the double sentiment with all the ardour of her spirit. England and the ' people ot England, she knew It, she | felt It, were. In some wonderful and yet quite simple manner, hers. Ezul- | tatlon, affection, gratitude, a profound ' sense of obligation, an unbounded pride â€" such were her emotions; and, colouring and intensifying the rest, I there was something else. At last, af- ter 80 long, happiness â€" fragmentary, perhaps, and charged with gravity, but true and unmistakable none the less â€" had returned to her. The unac- customed feeling filled and warmed her consciousness. When, at Bucking- ham Palace again, the long ceremony over, she was asked how she was, "I am very tired, but very happy," she said. And so, after the toils and tempests ot the da.v, a long evening folinwedâ€" mild, serene, and lighted with a golden glory. For an unexampled atmo** phere ot success and adoratio» '^vest- ed the last period of Victoria'a Ufa. Her triumph was the summary, Ui« crown, ot a greater triumph â€" the cul* mlnating prosperity of a nation. Th« solid splendour of the decade between Victoria's two jubilees can hardly ba paralleled in the annals of England. The sage counsels of Lord Salisbury seemed to bring with them not only wealth and power, but security; and the country settled down, with calm assurance, to the enjoyment of an es- tablished grandeur. Andâ€" It was only natural â€" Victoria settled down too. The last and the most glorious ot such occasions was the Jubilee ot 1897. Then, as the splendid procession pass* ed along, escorting Victoria through the thronged re-echoing streets of Lon- don on her progress of thanksgiving to St. Paul's Cathedral, the greatness ot her realm and the adoration ot her subjects blazed out together. Ths tears welled to her eyes, and, wbiU the multitude roared round her. "How kind they are to me! How kind they are!" she repeated over and ovei again. That night her message flew over the Empire: "From my heart I thank my beloved people. May Go4 bless them!" â€" Lytton Strachey Ifl "Queen Victoria." (New York: Han court. Brace,'*. take up. His sufferings stan< alons, ' incapable of repitition and needing none; but each follower has his own. To slay the life of self is always pain, and there is no discipleship without crucifying "the old man." Taking up my cross does not nerely mean meek- ly accepting God-sent or men-inflicted sorrows, but persistently carrying on the special form of self-denial which my special type of character re- quires. It will includtr these other meanings, but it go*s deeper than they. Such self-immolation is the same thing as following Christ; for, with all the infinite difference be- tween his cross and j.urs, they are both crosses, and on * the one hand there is not real discipleship without self-denial, and on the other there is no full self-dei-ial without disciple- ship." Ultimately this cosUy way is the only way, if one is going to /it)''. The man who hoards up his powers and oppoi-tunities and uses them for sel- fish ends -will lose his higher life. He who IS willing to .suffer physical loss, even physical life itself, will develop his spiritual life. So valuable is a man's higher life that nothing physical or material can be balanced against it. Supposing a man makes a lot of money, has every creature comfort, enviable worldly position, what of it, in the gaining of them, he has starved his finer nature, vs. 36, 37'? Verse 38 does, not appear to be clearly related to the rest of this sec- tion. It deals, not with a suffering Messiah which is the themo of this passage, but with the Son of man in glory. Nevertheless, it is likely tliat Jesus did, in some way, insist on a personal loyalty to himself. V ' Youthful Woman Diplomat Spain's Latest Appointment Madrid â€" The daiigUt&r ot the writ- er.
