NEWS ~ OF INTEREST IN THE = SOCIAL REALM thought; for the day Today’s burdens will last only through today. They may be removed before tomorrow, but if they should be renewed tomor row, strength to bear them will also be renewed. Today is all that we need to think about dur ing today, and one day is not very long. Here is a message of rare com fort that someone has spoken: “Anyone can carry his burden, however heavy, until nightfall. Anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day. Any one cnn live sweetly, patiently, till the sun goes down. And this is all that life ever really means.” But it means one thing more, that even between now and night fall we do not have to bear the burden alone. —Selected. BIRTHDAY PRAYER Lord Jesus, Thou hast known A mother’s love and tender care: And Thou wilt hear, while for my own Mother most dear I make this birthday prayer. Protect her life, 1 pray, Who gave the gift of life to me; And may she know from day to day, The deepening glow of Life that comes from Thee. And once upon her breast Fearless and well content I lay. • So let her heart, on Thee at rest, Feel fears depart and troubles fade away. * Her every wish fulfill; And even if Thou must refuse In anything, let Thy wise will A comfort bring such as kind mothers use. Ah, hold her by the hand, As once her hand held mine; And though she may not understand, Life’s winding way, lead her in peace divine. I cannot pay my debt. For all the love that she has given; But Thou, Lord will not forget Her due reward—bless her in earth and Heaven. —Henry Van Dyke. “JUST NONSENSE.” With a Bitter Sigh. Some time ago a man named Smith went into a big city cafe and dejectedly took a seat at a corner table. For a moment he listlessly scanned the menu card and then turned to the waiter. “How about that calf’s heart?” he asked. “Is it nice and ten der?” “Oh yes, indeed, sir!” was the prompt assurance of the waiter party. “Then bring it along,” sigh fully ordered Smith. “If there is such a thing in this world as a tender heart I want it.”—Phil adelphia Telegraph.

One can use lemons, oranges, all small fruits, any fruit syrup, and always the sugar syrup. One ‘delicious drink is a mixture of lemon and orange juice in equal proportions, with grape juice ad ded —say six oranges, six lem ons, a small bottle of grape juice, two quarts of water, enough syrup to sweeten, and crushed ice ad libitum. For variety, instead of the grape juice, use a can of grated pineapple and a cupful of rasp berry or strawberry syrup. Again, use the lemons and a quart of tea, a fresh pineapple, shredded; two cupfuls of fresh cherries, stewed; a quart of wa ter, syrup to taste, and a few sprigs of mint. This one is es pecially fine and might be served at any afternoon or evening party. Red currants are a good addi tion to fruit punch, so are a few slices of cucumber. It is best not to combine more than two or three fruits, and one may make endless combinations, each taking its name from the preponderating flavor. Sour-Milk Chocolate Cake- Dissolve two ounces of bitter chocolate in half a cupful of boil ing water. Beat two-thirds of a cupful of butter to a cream, with one cupful of sugar; then add three well-beaten eggs and one cupful of sour milk or sour cream in which an even teaspoonful of soda has been dissolved. Beat in two cupfuls of flour, then the melted chocolate, and finally a teaspoonful of vanilla. Bake in layers and fill with dark choco late filling, icing the top with white frosting or chocolate.
