RISSOLES

QUIET CORNER

(Written for THE SUN by the Rev. Charles Chandler, Assistant City Missioner.) QNE of the greatest problems of the economical housewife is how to make use of what's left over. Cold meat for too many days in succession may have accounted for many a good man taking a nose dive over Grafton Bridge. If only that cold meat were more often converted into rissoles there would be greater felicity in a number of matrimonial bargains. Using up what's left over is one of the ways to fortune. Out of butcher's offal comes household soap, " and from the blood and bone of many a ”lowing herd" there is made that which accelerates the growth of cabbages and peas. Using up what's left over from a working-day leads a host of young men through technical schools on to positions of power and responsibility. Wisely using up what's left over of life , after fifty years or more of industry and toil, adds the glory and tranquillity of the setting sun to old age which might else be useless and decrepit. Using up what's left over of our faith, after it has been tried in many fires, helps us to hold on where otherwise we might be tempted to let go. It was upon the pieces of the ship that were left over that St. Paul and his fellow-passengers escaped safe to land, on the occasions recorded in Acts XXVII. Hence in matters culinary and commercial; temporal and spiritual. it is well to consider the matter of what to do with what's left over. NEXT WEEK: RAILSITTERS.
