Woman^s World By Mair M. Morgan Why should jam cupboards be Udden in a dark corner when rows tf sparklinif iellies are so lovely to lok uponf The modern housewife or hostess throws open her jam cup. board with a flourish to show you the beauty of that shelf ranged with the cherry jam sh made with guch ease. There is imprisoned a bit of the July sunshine and all the ripe cherry flavor that makes our Cana- dian cherries so popular for Jams and jellies. Ripe red Canadiur <herries are the most decorative of our small fruit, and in Canada we also proauoe those dark red Knglish cherries or "black" cherries as we sometimes call them and the "white" or Queea Anne cherries. All three kinds re- tain their lovely flavor ami color- ing when made into jams or jellies by the modern bottled fruit jitctin me- thod. Croat baskets of these lusci- ous fruits are now on the market. No wonder the robins and black- birds put up such a fight for them, but here they are and every house- â- wife at o'loe has a yearning to im- prison their color and flavor into nhining rows of jelly . And don't they make a show in the jam i u|i- board! Pale rose colored jejiy from white cherries, clear ruby from the red ones, and deep rich garnet from the black ones. The recipe for cherry jam and jelly is so simple and so sure of suc- cess. The short-boil method would certainly astonish a nineteenth cen- tury housewife with its easy way of achieving jam and jelly that hold • II the finest flavor of the ripe chtir- ries .The satisfaction reaped from â- eeing those jars of jelly and jam which give such importance and prla- Dior to the jam cupboard is nothing compared to the gratitude with which the family consumes them all through the year with cold meat plates, in fruit salads, on cream des- â- erts and milk puddings or between the layers of a white cake. For breakfast and afternoon tea, toast with cherry jelly is most appetizing. Did you ever try it with peanut but- ter on hot Sally I.unns?

LESSON v.â€" August 2. PHILIPS MISSIONARY LABORSâ€" Acts 8 : 5-40. GOLDEN TEXT. â€" They therefore that were scattered abroad went about preaching the word. Acts 8 : 4. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.â€" A. D. 3(i. Place. â€" Samaria, the region in Palestine between Judaea and Gali- lee; Gaza, an old city of the Philis- tines fifty miles southwest of Jeru- stlern; Azotus, thirty miles north of Gaza; and Caosarca, a coastal city, midway between Joppa and Tyre. "Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth dov.-n from Jeruealem unto Gaza." "G.i7,a was the southerniost of the five groat cities which the Philistines had for- merly occupied, and was on the route which a traveller from Jerusalem to Egypt would follow (Josh. 10 : 41; 15 : 47; Judges 1 : 18; 16 : 1, 21). "The same is desert." "There were at least two roads, probably three, from Jerusalem to Gaza; Philip is said to take 'the desert road,' prob- ably the one by Hebron, which went through the desert hills of southern Judaea." "And he arose and went." No doubt Philip wondered why God should at 'his time take him away from a work which was being so abundantly blessed, and ask him to go down into this hot southern country where there could not possibly be as important a center for preaching as thj city of Samaria. Nevertheless, he instantly obeyed. "And behold, a man of Ethiopia." The general name given to the country south of Egypt, now called Nubia and Abyssinia. "A eunuch of great authority under Can- dace, queen of the Ethiopians." The name "Candace" was the name of a series of queens of Meroe, just as "Pharoah," at an earlier period, and 'Ptolemy," later, were general names for the kin""! of Egypt. "Who was over all her treasure." Certainly a man of great importance, and one, no doubt, of sterling character, who could be entrusted with '.l.e treasury of this great kingdom. "Who had come to Jerusalem to worshi|)." This brie' clause is exceptionally rich in suggestiveness. This man of author- ity had travelled twelve hundred mile.5 from his native country to wor- ship in the capital cit;. of the Jews. "Ard he was returning and sitting in hif. chnriot, and was reading (he prophet Lsaiah." He was probably reading this book in a Greek version; it m.-iy easily be that he had pur- chased a copy of Isaiah in Greek when in Jerusalem. "And the Spirit said unto Phillip." "For the first time in the book of Acts, we see the Holy Spirit no longer moving upon the multitude, but con- descending to become the personal guide of one believer." "Go near, and join thyself to this chariot." The phrase "join thyself" expresses "the act of sticking to the chariot," "not losing sight of it or leaving it until the divine purpose was accomplished." "And Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?" Aside from the definite direction of the Holy Spirit in Philip's asking this ((uestion, two things are to be understood here: Philip had a real concern for the spiritual welfare of those whom he met by the way, a virtue which Christian believers to- day do most especially need. Both are needcJ by all of us â€" a love for souls and a knowledge of the Word of God, by which we can bring souls to the Lord Jesus Christ. "And he said, How can I, except some one shall guide me ? And he besought Philip to come up and sit with him." The word here translat- ed "guide" is exactly the same word used by the Lord Jesus when he pro- mised the disciples that the Holy Spirit would "guide you into all truth" (John 16 : 13). "Now the passage of the scripture which he was reading was this, "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before his shearer is dumb. So he openeth not his mouth: In his humiliation his judge- ment was taken away: His generation A Target for Eyes HOW TO ENTER CONTEST Plainly write or print out the in- gredient* and method and tend it to- gether with name and addrei* to Household Sciece, Room 421, 73 Weil Adelaide Street, Toronto.

For his life is taken fi-oni the earth." The quotation is from the Soptua- gint or Greek version of Isaiah 03 : 7, S. Of course the entire fifty-third chapter of Isaiah refers to the Mes- siah who was to come, and would suffer under the hand of God for the sins of man. "And the eunuch answere/ Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom spcak- cth the prophet this? of himself, or of some other?" Perhaps the idea that thi.s chapter in Isaiah might re- fer, net to the Messiah, but to Isaiah himself, had been expounded at Jeru- salem in the hearing of the Ethiopian, and, in the confusion of Jewish inter- pvetations, he did not know which rea!ly to believe. ".\nd Philip opened his mouth, and begiiiiing from this scripture, preach- ed untj him Jesus." How the heart of this African must have been moved as he discovered all the phrases of Isaiah's prophecy to be, ai it were, the very Tnes of a portrait that de- picted perfectly and humiliation and death of the Messiah! ".\nd as they went on the way, they came unto a certain water; and the eunuch saith, Behold here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?" Undoubtedly Philip mast have been talking to this Ethiopian about bap- tism, after he had explained to him the life and death of Jesus, for bap- tism was not a rite commonly prac- ticed among the Jews. "And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. Cer- tainly this verse would at least indi- cate that Philip and the eunuch were standing in the water, though the phrase cannot be made to necessarily imply submersion. Into the question of the mode of baptism, we do not choose to enTer. God is equally hon- oring those great sections of the Christian church which practise bap- tism by sprinkling, pouring or im- mersion, and the reality of the Chris- tian experience in all of these com- munions must be acknowledged. "And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing." "As far as we can possibly tell, the new convert went on his first journey homeward with nothing but hit Isaiah and his bap- tism to help him, bereft, we under- stand, of all Christian surroundings â€" no (Christian public worship, no' Chris- tion New Testament. Aye, but he had the supreme secret He had found the Lord. "But Philip was found .t Azotus." This is another name for Ashdod, one of the old cities of the Philistines, about thirty miles from Gaza, mid- way between it and Joppa. "And passing through he preached the gos- pel to all the cities till he came to Caesarea." Among these would cer- tainly be Joppa, Lydda, and the nu- merous villages in the fertile plain between Ashdod and Caesarea. The latter was the chief city of Palestine under Roman rule at the extreme north of the plain of Sharon (see Acts 10 : 1; 21 : 8). Here we find Philip again, twenty years later, en- tertaining Paul and Luke.- Smart Shirred Sleeves Have Piquant Charm U » Enoch Arden Tale Unfolded Ending Different, Wife Seeks Aimulment to Rejoin First Mate MONTREAL â€" A 20lh century Enoch Arden story with a new ending was recounted in a Montreal court reccntlv.

Fortier after Mrs. Bak- er had related the story from 1918 on. That year she married Mongeau. In 1920 she left him because of alleged ill-treatment. Then he disappeared. Certain he was dead, she married Baker, a taximan, in 1932. A daugh- ter, Norah, was born. Then, in 1935, Mongeau turned up. Immediately, the: wife said, Baker became sul'.en and soon put her and the girl out of the house. It. April of this year, she«told the judge, the taxi driver took away her daughter on the pretext of taking her for a drive. He has kept her ever since. The woman asked His Honor for the return of her child. Earning her own living as a housekeeper, she said, she was able to give Norah a good home.
