Sermonettes

Ungratefulness is the wage of beggars and

parasites.

"God moves in most mysterious ways His wonders to perform," while the world would pry into His ways and cause a blockade.

To submit to the inevitable by no means suggests surrender; it is a temporary armistice, a momentum, to gain time and plan for

a new move.

The enemy destroys the embellishments but never the original work.

Prosecution and Persecution are twin brothers working in harmony to gain their ends.

To have protection we must first see perfection in the things we engage in.

The end of man's endeavor lies within the Infinite, while in the finite we pave the way.

It is conceded that "even the devil utters truth." Evidently he finds it profitable, as do many other institutions of a public nature.

There are many hearts that perish because they fail to see truth when it is presented to them.

Unequal distribution marks every walk of life where the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man appears upon the pages of text-books.

The sacred necessarily appears as a secret to the uninitiated.

"Trust in God and do the right" at least imparts solace to the heart, altho the body may have to suffer.

"To him who overcometh shall be given," says the Apocalypse, and history bears it out.

It is not wise to know of corruption, for wisdom has no companions other than understanding and knowledge.

"This is life eternal-to know God," concludes John, while the prophet has it, "Because of ignorance many are lost."

Season Hints

June, the month of variety and wholesome sports.

To commune with nature paves the way to the Infinite with greater assurance than in a secluded spot void of the open.

To come in contact with the objects of nature is equal to "the touch of the hem of His garment."

To wade in running streams with thankfulness in our heart is equal to a "baptism for the remission of sins."

Small fruits are good when sweet and ripe, while the juices of such fruits can be used as syrups for the mixing of cooling drinks.

Grapefruits are still in season, yet the juice of fresh pineapples is far more effective.

Cherries are at their best. Use them often, but with good judgment.

The fresher the food of the soil that we use, the better we thrive. Storage and wilting robs food of its vitamin.

So long as we cannot afford a vegetable garden all our own, we should see to it that the victuals bought at the market are fresh, crisp and wholesome looking. Better eat less, but pure.

Bananas are in season all the year around, and are to be used when all else no longer appeals. Use bananas whipped, fried, baked and boiled, so as to get various effects. Rice goes better with bananas than any other dish.

There must be no left-overs during the warm season. Should your dishes not fill the want, make up for the deficiency by resorting to doughgods or matzos.

Fresh green peas or string beans may be made the entrée dish; with a salad and a muffin the meal may be complete.

Melons are to the alimentaries what sal soda, soap and water are to the skin, but the rule is "little-but often."

Raspberries and blackberries are better in the form of juice, while gooseberries will prove more wholesome if strained. All three kinds are great tonics and used in small quantities at every meal for five weeks, the vigor of youth is assured.

Tomatoes are refreshing, and combined with tubers, increase the vitamin, and with it the nourishing properties of other dishes.

Eggplants are of great value when combined with toast, using a small salad as a relish. Such a simple repast will convince us that wisely selected food opens the human laboratory unto assimilation.

Asparagus is still efficacious and goes well on toast. It tones the kidneys and bleaches the blood.

Do not indulge largely in the use of melons, neither be confined to one kind. Consider that "variety is the spice of life." Half a melon at a time is the dose.

Fresh potatoes and clabber are in orderalso beets and sour cream, known as "borsht."
