Rinse Clothes
Many a Rood wash lady slights the
job of during and then wonders why
the dollies don’t look clean. Soap
left in fabric may make it dingy,
yellow or even brownish in streaks
and may eventually weaken the fi
bers. Ideal for rinsing is an abun
dant supply of hot soft water. Home
management specialists in tests
have shown that rinse water about
as hot as the wash water removes
soap and loosens dirt most easily.
Hot water has the advantage of soft
ening fabric, opening the weave, and
dissolving soap quickly. When 1
clothes go from a hot wash j
water to a cold rinse, the fabric j
contracts and may actually hold in
some soap and dirt. Even lukewarm
water is better for rinsing than cold
water. Rinse until the water shows
no trace of soapiness,

Soften Water
Conserve soap and get snowier
washes by softening the water first
—unless you’re fortunate enough to
live in a soft water locality. Hard
water requires extra soap for a good
suds. It forms a scum that clings
to clothes with maddening tenacity
and leaves ugly rings around sinks
and tubs. The “what" and "how"
of water softening are covered In
our leaflet "How to Soften Water
Safely." Hard-to-wash sweaters and |
gloves come out looking like new
with no shrinking, stretching, stiffen
ing or running if you know the cor
rect procedures. Water and drying
temperatures, handling, shaping are
important. Learn the best way to |
do these from our leaflet "How to i
Wash Sweaters, Socks and Gloves." 1

MAKING THE HOME CHRISTIAN
LESSON TEXT—Luke 10:38-42; I Corin
thians 13:4-13,
GOLDEN TEXT—Love suffereth long, and |
Is kind—l Corinthlarfc 13:4.
Things do not just happen. It takes
praying and planning and real ef- ,
fort to accomplish a worth-while
purpose. We are thinking these
weeks of the home as a Christian
center of influence. We trust that
many are asking in their hearts, f
“What can I do to make my home
really Christian?”
The answer is clear. A home will j
be Christian when those in it are j
Christian and put their Christianity ,
into daily practice. First, you must
be sure of your own salvation and
that of the members of your house
hold. Then you can proceed to put
the principles of godliness to work.
Our lesson presents the believing
home as one that is well-balanced.
There is both:
I. Work and Worship (Luke 10;
38-42).
No home can be a place of com- i
fort and pleasant fellowship without
much work. A disorderly, dirty or
run-down house is a disgrace and a (
discouragement to all that is finest
in the relations of those who live in
it.
Home need not be a mansion. It
does not have to be richly furnished, 1
but it does need to be clean and
orderly. Meals must be made.
Cleaning must be done. So far
Martha was right, but she went too j
far. She let the labor of the house
hold hinder her from what she so
deeply needed fellowship, not only
with her family but with the Lord.
Now, notice that Mary had not,
shirked her duty to share the work.
Observe the word "also” in verse |
39. She had worked, but she also sat
at Jesus’ feet. She knew when it
was time to call a halt to labor and
make the most of good comradeship, j
Blessed wisdom! Would that many
burdened housewives would learn of I
Mary!
Jesus made it clear that life in j
the home is to strike a proper bal-1
ance between work and worship. If
you do not know whore to make the
division in your home, err on the i
side of worship. Give that more j
time than it should have rather
than less.
Alas, is it not true that in most
homes, even in Christian homes,
worship is almost, if not entirely,
forgotten! Something should be done
about that. Will you do it in your
home?
11. Love and Longsuffering (I Cor.
13:4-7).
We arc apt to think of love as the
warm feeling of interest and emo
tion which suffuses one's nature in
moments of special pleasantness or
of intimate fellowship. But life is
not made up of a succession of |
pleasant incidents, of sunny after- j
noons and moonlit evenings.
Life is real; it is earnest, and
often it is drab and irritating. What j
about such times? Can love meet I
them? Yes. for love knows how to j
be longsuffering.
But someone may ask, Does love
really work, or is this just a fine
sounding but, obsolete theory? It
works!
Think of the things in life which
irritate and depress us. Then put
opposite them the qualities of Chris
tian love as given in verses 4 to 7,
and you will agree that what this
world needs most of all is love.
Remember that talking about love,
or rending about it, or studying it in
the Sunday school will not make
it effective. We must put it into prac
tice. Why not start now? You will
be surprised at the results.
111. Promise and Perfection (vv
8-13).
Christianity has a hope, and that
is not just a vague wishing that
something might come to pass; it is
a sure hope. In Christ all the rich
promise of prophecy, of faith, of
hope will come to pass.
The Christian home is the place to
teach boys and girls to believe with
I assurance that He who has begun a
j good work in us "will perform it
until the day of Jesus Christ" (Phil,
t 1:6).
We who sec only dimly shall one
| day see our Lord face to face, and
love shall abide through all eternity.
Many gifts are only temporary in
their usefulness; in fact, almost ev-
I erything that man makes or does
(apart from his service for Sod) is
transient.
Even as vital a matter as
prophecy shall one day find its end
• >n fulfillment. Hope shall eventually
find its longing expectation satis
fied. Faith will be justified in seeing
what it has believed. Childish things
will be put away by the full
grown man; knowledge will increase
; and darkness disappear.
But love love is eternal. It
never fails, and will never fail. God
is love, and God is eternal. From
all eternity and unto all eternity
love continues. Therefore, we agree
| with Paul who, in the verse preced
ing this chapter (I Cor. 12:31) says
that while you may covet the best
gift, hare is the more excellent way
