"They are "apt to stick to 'the pan, so should' be stirred often and more water added if necessary, By way is to use as far as possible a bright and a neutral colour at the same time, and to finish the two colours at different stages in the knitting. For instance, strip could be started in grey and blue. After about two inches the blue could be replaced by green, and then after another inch or two the grey replaced by brown. In the original cover' the gay colours were kept in the two outer strips of knitting, while the centre strip was made of shades of brown, fawn.

grey, and dull pink, and the bojjder "ot crochet was done in dark brown. 'This cot cover was sent to Spain in the hope that it could be of use where warm bedclothes were lacking. It. can easily be seen that a similar, bed cover oh a larger scale could -be made by "two or- -thffce friends working, together to supply, wool and. knit the strips.

Such al bed cover would be acceptable- to ar -family where blankets are' not IIS Anyone" looking through a collection ot gardening, magazines and articles would get the impression that they-dealt with a poor sort of hobby consisting of nothing but work. There are always instructions about what to do in January," or whatever the month may be, but seldom suggestions for what to enjoy. But it seems to. me that even 1 in the midwinter months a few minutes might, be spared from digging and planning for enjoyment. In favoured gardens there are obvious delights" offered by such winter flowering shrubs 'as Viburnum fragrans -or Hamamelis arborea, but these things are not for us in the bleak North.

After enjoying -the yellow flowers of the winter jasmine we pass on to the less obvious things. In this class the prettiest sight at the moment in my garden, -and doubtless in hundreds of others, is provided by the laburnum trees. At this time of the year the seed pods split open, the' pale yellow linings, and the. whole tree looks as though hung with gilt jewellery. Gilt effects are not easily obtained in gardens.

The only other source I know is in the annual grasses. At midsummer the meadow behind my garden is a shimmering gilt mass pricked out with the mauve 'of scabious, the -scarlet, of poppies, later, the-rote colour of the willow herb. I often, think it is a prettier sight than- anything' I can aefneve the colours-iot garden flowers in their background of herbaceous green. The pleasures of midwinter are not confined to the sense of sight. is the sudden transition from the blasts of cold air outside to the still warmth of the greenhouse, where things are beginning to There are sighs of a new.

One is moved to consider the problem of protection, and protection has its There is the. newly planted: shrub which must be shielded from cold winds. An old winterhedge hung with sacking only partly conceals the shrub, and, with a twig sticking out awkwardly at either side, it looks like a modest maiden about to go for a swim undressing behind an out-held macintosh. And one day, when the sharp frost predicted by the weather experts turned out to be a gale of wind instead, the nest of bracken put down to warm the feet of a bamboo was found next morning on the other side of the garden cosily protecting the base UJ. a iurxy-ioos sycamore.

It was in an English evangelical family (writes that a parent punished a child for giving a pony an apple -on a Sunday. Some years ago relations of the present writer were staying at a.place in Wales where they had stayed previously in another house. On a Sunday their brought some fresh; vegetables from her garden for them, Buti the woman of the house not only refused to cook'the vegetables but refused even to take-them into the house since to do so would be to break the At'home (continues this correspondent) we-were never allowed to read our usual books bn'a Sunday.

But we were allowed Foxe's "Book-of Martyrs" with the-DorS designs a work far more sensational, both in text and illustration, than anything that we ever read during the week, and more likely to produce nightmares. Even houses which were supposed to be" broad-minded would not allow cards of1 the mildest kind to- be played on Sundays, nor was any out-of-door game permitted. Till I began, too late, to try to play golf, a game I had despised in youth, I never in my life played any game on Sunday. And at the seaside our lives were conducted as nearly as possible with the same restrictions as at home. Tha-Royal The coming sale by auction in London of a touch coin dating-from.

is. a humbling thought that the children were-so 'sure of -'an. adult's truthfulness that they accepted as chicken' shapeless pieces of meat that they, had "not seen embodied, Their trust had bsen betrayed, and I dare not let them know. Steak and Kidney friend to whom I mentioned my predicament said she had just been aeaung witn a similar case, though in her home the Ue had been less explicit Her' small daughter had eaten- a few pieces of stewed steak and had said to her mother before tasting the one piece of kidney' that had been given to' her, I don't like kidney, only thteak." An right," her mother said, "we'll exchange then. Give roe your kidney- and Til give you some-meat off my.

Two pieces of kidney were exchanged, and the child said afterwards, "That wath a nithe pleth of tmeaK." She had been as much as my children and she too had finished her dinner, to her mother's satisfaction but to the disturbance of her; mother's conscience. Similar deceit is. more frequently and -TeprenensiDiy practised in the of' foods, as, when rice pudding is 'tinted and renamed. Many a child swallows many a plateful under false pretences, and no one, it seems, ja any xne worse- One can. admit, without staying for a "final the truth of the matter is to be sought beyond the actual occa sion, that the, professed distaste was no more than a fad, and' that even though tne cunner was consumed the fad was not.

The latter would not, however, it may be. argued, have been-abandoned if a triumphant watcher had belatedly told Lthe truth and said, "There! eaten and liked it, and you said you couldn't." There is, it would appear, a time for everything, and even truth can be out of season. No one knows better than a parent how difficult it is. and how danaerous. sometimes, to look facts in the face and then present them truthfully to children.

The -responsibility on this occasion was not directly mine, of course, but I could not help wondering if those who could, support "a' partial, dictatorship in the nursery, where- food" and rest are concerned, for1 instance, might be led to deviate further from the golden rule cf reason and to agree that where food is concerned neither reasons nor orders, on some occasions, are "as effective as lies that may be regarded as white, had 'tried, often and in vain, to reason about the desirability of eating occa sionally proffered food for which there was an expressed distaste.

How far that is still true I do not know.

Let me say, then, that for something like a hundred years Carrs Lane Church has been the premier Congregational" church not only in Birmingham and the, Midlands but in some respects in the whole of English Congregationalism. It owes its. proud position mainly to the remarkable succession of great preachers who have been its ministers: Angell James-jR. W. Dale, Jowett, S.

M. Berry, find; now." Leytbn. Richards. It is said that once -during the" early years'-of Dale's ministry 'the late Falr-bairn, who was himself eight or ten years Dale's junior and had been greatly impressed by of. some of his sermons -whan -on -a visit to Birmingham, sought out Cxrs tne "and walked up and down in-front "of the church, saying -to himself, "It is -here--that so great a preacher proclaims the' everlasting Gospel." I had been in the church before, but never simply as a worshipper, A recent Sunday gave me long-wished-for opportunity.

As. I sat- in the church a splendid example of the style, of architecture which satisfied our Nonconformist forefathers, and for which, perhaps, there is a good deal more to be said than some of their successors imagine the sight of two Ionic columns, one on -either side of the large organ, called to my mind one of Dale's happiest and most effective illustrations. There was once a row of these columns. Which- appeared to. support a massive architrave.

When, however, the erection of an organ involved the removal of some of them it was discovered that they were really an architectural sham: they had never supported what they seemed to support; the architrave had always been kept in its place by other means. Some thing like that. Dale said, is often to-be seen in human beliefs their apparent foundations are. not their real and may. be removed without hurt to the beliefs themselves.

It was a splendid congregation that faced "tits. Rlfhardsibut what impressed me' mora than the" alia, of, it was that it was a wor snippuut congregation.
