Morgan Delicious Shortcake Way back in the sixteenth century some doctor in England said of the strawberry: "Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubt- less God never did." For some reason or other we al- most invariably associate shortcake with strawberries, but all the fruits in their seasons may be served in shortcake. Sometimes I think red raspberries are even better than 'strawberries and when we have a hesh peach shortcake I wonder if maybe it isn't best of all. Old-fashioned shortcake is almost a full meal in itself, served with plenty of fruit and lots of rich cream. So plan to use a shortcake dessert Simple Lines Mark This Exclusive Model L Checks in crepe, silk, pique, linen or cotton lead the way to chic in this easy, casual, day dress. While the design empha- sizes smooth slim lines, comfort- able fullness for the skirt is pro- vided by a wide insert at the front. The model cuts quickly and easily, with only seams to join at the sides, panel and waistline. No troublesome armholes to discour- age amateur dressmakers, as the sleeves and shoulder line belong to "one family," and a slim waistline is assured the minute you insert the back darts. This is a perfect utility frock for a mul- titude of daytime needs. You can make it as a house frock too— it's so simple and quick to laun- der: and being collarless, ever easter to iron.

Lately I've been using a lot of but- termilk in baking and it certainly does make a crust of melting tender- ness. • An aside to the bride: one-half eup flour and the other ingredients in proportion will make a shortcake for two. That is, just half the recipe will be plenty for two. If you have a guest, use three-fourths the recipe. A quart of berries will be needed for three persons. Buttermilk Shortcake For Four One cup flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, aa teaspoon soda, 2 table- spoons butter or other shortening, 1 cup buttermilk, % teaspoon salt. Mix and sift flour, baking povvd.er, salt and soda. Cut in shortening with pastry blender or tips of fingers. Cut in buttermilk with a knife. Divide in two equal parts and put one part on a lightly floured molding board. Pull together with tips of fingers dipped in flour and roll with a floured rolling pin into a sheet about % of an inch thick. Put on a greased baking pan and brush with softened butter. Roll remaining dough to fit the lower sec- tion and put on top of dough pan. Bake in a hot oven (375 degrees P. for twenty-five minutes. When ready to serve split sections apart. Spread lower cake with butter and cover with a thick layer of crushed berries. Add top layer and cover with more berries. Cut in wedges and serve with sugar and cream. Soak Berries In Sugar To prepare berries, wash and hull. Cut in quarters or crush with a po- tato masher. Sprinkle % cup of sugar over a quart of berries and let stand in a warm place while mixing and baking the cake. If you like you can cover the top layer of the cake with a thick coat- ing of whipped cream and press fine large berries up. Of course, this makes a very handsome dish to serve at the table. The shortcake made with sponge cake is far more suitable to serve after a hearty dinner than the old- fashioned variety. Bake a light sponge cake in a thin sheet, much as you would for a jelly roll.

Ariatole ascribes to Diogenes Laertius the following definition of fraendship "one soul residing in twee bodies." "And not one of them said0at aught of the things which he pOisessed was his own; but they had all things corn mon." The statement will be com- mented upon when we come to verse 34. "And with great power gave the apostles their witness of the resurrec- tion of the Lord Jesus." The resurrec- tion of Christ was the fundamental theme of apostolic preaching, but in-. cluded in it was, of course, the person and life and death of, Jesus ,Chffist. "And great grace was upon them all." (Cf. Luke2 : 52'; Acts 2 : 47), The phrase probably means that the grace of God was mightily upon them; enabling them to live a ttuly Christian life.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—The events described in Acts 4 : 32-35 occurred in the sum- mer of A.D. 30; the appointment of the deacons occurred live years latei, A.D. 35; the raising of Dorcas oc- curred five years later still, A.D. 40. The Second Epistle to the Corinthians was written approximately A.D. 57. The first Epistle of John was written many years later, some time after A.D. 90. any that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold. And laid them at the apostles' feet: and distribution t was made unto each, according as any - one had need." This common posses- sion of goods in the early church has often been used as an argument for socialism and even communism, but this is misinterpreting the passage. A number et things m.:st be remem- bered: in the first place, it was strict- ly a voluntary matter. There Was no law about this in the early church, and no believer was compelled to sell his posiessions if he was not led to do so by his own conscience. This condition prevailed only among be- lievers. Where love is absent, to en- force such a condition is disastrous. Furthermore, it does not appear that every man, in the church sold all of his property, nor that even those who ad so sold all that they had. More- over, when the fresh warmth of Pentecostal life departed, this prac- tice was given up. It is never re- ferred, to again in the New Testa- ment, and never seems to have been practised outside the city of Jeru- salem. "Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God which hath been given in the churches of Macedonia." The churches of Mace- donia are those at Philippi, Thessa- lonica, and Beroea. "How that in much proof of afflic- tion." "TribUlation has brought out the genuine Christian qualities of the Macedonian churches." "The abund- ance of their joy." A strange clause to be found in a sentence describing trouble and poverty. Their joy really exgeeded their "distress, so that the distress became insignificant in com- parison." "And their deep poverty." The word "deep" mean "down to the depth," and indicates that their po- verty, had already reached the lowest possible stage. 'The Romans had been especially hard on them. "Abounded unto the riches of their liberality." Te clause would seem to mean that thare was a simplicity of purpose in thi hearts of these people -which at- tracted them toward relieving the necessities of others. The apostle is speaking of the largeness, not of their gifts, but of their minds. "For according to their power, I bear witness, yea and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord."

W.F. that they gave "of their own accord," Le., "not of necessity" (see 2 Cor. 9 : 7). "Beseeching us with much en- treaty." Probably the apostle had been reluctant to take money from these people who were so extremely poor, which led them to beg him to receive what they could give for the poor in Jerusalem. "In regard Of this grace and the fellowship in the min- istering to the saints." Three beau- tiful words are here used in describ- ing their gifts to others—"grace" (see 1 Cor. 16 : 3); "fellowship" (Rom. 15. : 26); and, finally, ..."administer- ing" (2 Cor. 9 : 1, 12). "And this, not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God." (Cf. Ex. 14 : 31). "They placed themselves at the apostle's dis- posal for the service of Christ." "Insomuch that we exhorted Titus, that as he had made a beginning be- fore, so he would also complete in you this grace also." "It seems clear from the words 'as he had begun' that Titus went a second time to Corinth before the apostle arrived there. His first visit began, his sec- ond completed, the collections for the saints." "But as ye abound in everything, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all earnestness, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also." Here, for the third time, is liberality in giving called a "grace." Without the presence of liberality in the life of Christians, there is a de- cided incompleteness in their Chris- tian experience and activity. "I speak not by way of command- ment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love." A Christian who claims to love other believers and the Lord Jesus can show the sincerity of such devotion in no greater way than by relieving those whom he loves when they are in distress. "For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might become rich." Dr. A. C. Gaebe- lein, in his remarkable message on this verse, reminds us that Christ was rich in possessions (Ps. 19 : 1; 24 : 1); in love (John 17 : 24); in glory John 17: 5 ; all these would the Lord Jesus, for our sakes, give up. He faced voluntary impoverishment that we might be made rich. Either Way "Can you serve company?" asked housewife, when she was hiring 'he servant. "What do you mean?" asked the puzzled one. "So's they'll come again, or stay away." • Taking the Curse Off Spinach—",50 Good For You" Since mothers have learned of; this vegetable, spinach, the demand! has increased and so stimulated its' culture that you can bay the vege- table at markets the year .around., However, the early spring harvest is the heaviest and of the finest quality.; When you market for spinach leoki for plants with plenty of good healthy leaves. The condition of the: leaves is of prime importance. Medi- uni-sized plants of good, dark green color, leaves :fresh and crisp, free' from sand or dirt, are desirable and. mean that the vegetable will be tend-' er and an attractive vivid green. Sand Won't Drain Off Nowadays it's seldom that a ship - Ping of spinach is weedy. However, weedy spinach means loss of weight! as well as time in sorting out • the weeds. Spinach which is very sandy or dirty is difficult to clean, for the dirtl seems to defy all washing. I never, did blame the little girl who said' she didn't like spinach because the; vitanairs got in her teeth. She was served gritty spinach, if the leaves are light colored, of, a yellowish tinge and tightly curled,' tiny insects are apt to be pres6nt and I'd look further for my dinner vegetable. In washing, always lift the leaves from one water bath to the other. Ia this way the sand settles to the' bottom and is .not disturbed. If you' pour the water 'off without removing! the leaves the sand is distributed' back through them and they're very little cleaner after several baths. ' I always cut the leaves from the, stems, discarding both the root and stems. Let Excess V''ater Drain Off, After throughly washing spinach, let it drain in a colander for a few' minutes to remove excess water.' then cook it covered about five min- utes. Remove cover and toss lightly. with a fork. Cook, uncovered, un-. til tender and almost dry. Season. With salt just before removing from the fire. If you chop the vegetable finely it will be necessary to reheat it be-, fore service. Careless serving has done more to make spinach unpopu- lar than the taste of the green it-, self. Be sure it is very hot and well, seasoned. Some men like a bit of horseradish for seasoning, or toma- ties.

Cheerfulness Begins at Home London Sunday Dispatch writes: Nothing succeeds like success. The, confidence already engineered by our progress since 1933 should not; be allowed to wane. Vigorous enter- prise in a time of cheap money, and courageous spending and investment, can keep the wheels of commerce turning with increasing speed. Nobody would advocate rashness in these things, but courage and caution are not conmentary. With a protected home market, with cheap money to finance exportable goods, and with wages already rising above the cost of living, Britain can be cheerfully confident about her affairs at home, however gloomy affairs abroad may be.
