Zurich Herald, 1935-10-17, Page 3MW 7,1 'omen's Worl By Mair M. Morgan t HINTS ON LAMB Lamb is suscep.ible to the flattery of fruit accompaniments: Fried pine- apple slices, broiled bananas, baked pears, or stuffed prunes. Dieting guests will appreciate lamb chops. Lamb has a good reputation On the reducing diet. Minted apples are an attractive garnish for the lamb platter. Small apples cooked in a sugar syrup, color- ed green, may be used to beautify the rib ends of Frenched chops. ,Mint jelly in individual molds de- corates the lamb salad plate. For variety, add a dash of onion juice to the time-honored caper sauce Give a flair to the party with a lamb chop grill. Mint butter is made by mixing i/, cup of butter with % cup of minced mint leaves, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and a dash of cayenne. Top each lamb chop with this just before serving. Lamb a la king in patty !shells makes a company dish of left -over lamb roast. For that different flavor, spread a bit of Roquefort cheese on lamb chops before they have been turned in broiling. Lamb steaks broiled 'medium done' will make a hit with the Wren. Have the steaks cut thick. Lamb chops too, are best if they are cu: farly thick. THEPERFECT FROSTING Perfect cake frostings are easy to make if you understand the part each ingredient plays and the proper hand- ling of the syrup during and after the cooking. What is a perfect frosting? First of all comes the matter of flavour. This means not only the use of tine mat_ erials, but also a perfect blending of the flavour of the frosting with that of the cake. Second in importance is texture. The frosting must feel fine- grained and creamy. Furthermore the perfect frosting must hold it's tzhape, have a glossy appearance, re- main moist on standing and cut with- out cracking. Quite a large order! These much -desired qualities may be obtained in several ways, but the surest and simplest method of secur- ing a delectable frosting is to use light_golzlasy with sugar. The corn syrup gives no savor 'to t21e--rgA,. but ' makes and keeps it soft 11 smooth. Be sure"to measure accurate- ly, however for too inuch corn syrup makes the frosting gummy and too soft. ing for a devil's food cake is made by adding four or five drops of 011 of peppermint in place of vanilla. Then if you cover the frosting. with a coat- ing of either bitter or dipping choco- late, you will have a cake that is a full dessert by itself. Melt the choco- late over warm water and brush over the white frosting on the Dake: Be sure the frosting has thoroughly cool- ed. Use a limber • spatula, or pastry brush to spread the chocolate. "THE "PUNKIN" When one thinks of Canadian cook. Mg from a national viewpoint, two of our most distinctive vegetables are squash and pumpkin. To what varied uses have we put the latterl There are few of us who cannot remember the Jack -o -lantern of our Hallowe'en nights and the fun we had in making them. "Punkin Pie" is the traditional Thanksgiving dessert, but pie is not the only way in which the orange globes may be used, and we hope you will like some of these unusual re_ cipes for those two sisters of the ve- getable world, pumpkin and squash. Squash Biscuits Half cup squash, steathed and sift- ed, quarter cup sugar, half -teaspoon salt, half cup scalded milk, quarter yeast cake dissolved in quarter cup lukewarm water, quarter cup butter, 2% cups flour. Add squash, sugar salt and butter to milk; when lukewarm add dissol- ved yeast cake and flour; cover and let rise over night. In morning shape into biscuits, let rise and bake. Boiled Summer Squash Wash squash and cutin thick slices or quarters. Cook 20 minutes in boil_ ing salted water, or until soft. Turn into a cheese -cloth, placed over a co- lander, drain and wring in cheese- --Cloth. Mash and season with butter, salt and pepper. Pumpkins are same as squash, longer cooking. WHITE FROSTING Two and one-half cups of fine gran. Mated sugar, 4 tablespoons corn syrup 3-4 cup water, whites 2 eggs, 1 tea - i spoon vanilla. Mix sugar, water and corn syrup in a smooth sauce pan. Cover pan and cook over a low fire until boiling be- gins. Remove cover and when ther- mometer reaches 234 degrees F. pour about one-third of the syrup in a thin stream over the stiffly beaten egg 'whites, beating constantly. Return syrup to fire and cook until thermometer registers 240 degrees F. Continue to beat frosting while the syrup is cooking and when 240 de- grees is ieached beat in about halt the 'syrup. Return 'syrup again to the fire and cook until 244 degrees F. is reached, beating frosting constantly. Add remaining syrup and beat until the right consistency to spread. Add vanilla after frosting has cooled slightly. Don't beatfrostingt oo long. As soon as the glossy look becomes slight- ly dulled spread on the cake. If over - beaten the frosting will dry out and "cake. If you put this frosting in a tight- ly covered jar you can keep it for several 'days or a week. Of course you know you can change the flavor of the frosting by using different flavoring extracts.

James Branch Cabell Youth And The Mode •1 Preparing For Stork •• Evelyn Venable, film star, who expects stork within a month, makes ready for his visit with her cameraman husband,' Hal Horh, by practicing "baby care" with a life-sized doll, "IH d A Friend" A friend is one who brings out the best in you; comforts you in time of grief; encourages in defeat; rejoices in victory. Perhaps the truest example of real friendship was that between David and Jonathan. Perfect trust. No put- ting oneself above the other. Jonathan knew. that David was a rival for his throne. But Jonathan's friendship ne- ver wavered. He was big enough to see that David was even bigger than lie. Therefore he took a lower place and let the better man rule. It takes a big person to be a true friend. Can You really rejoice when you see an honor come to your friend? Can you truly acknowledge that in some particulars your friend is your superior? Are`you willing to take ad- vice from your friend? Even to take a lesser seat than the throne if your friend is better fitted to occupy the throne. Or when the friend announces that he has been honored, do you at once think of a greater hbnor that came to you and tell it? When there is a choice of places do you stand back to allow your friend the first choice? Or do you frantical- ly hasten forward to get the chief place? There is a test for choosingfriends and it is well to know it. I! a person does not help us to be brave!, clean- er, to have more confidence in our- selves; to dare more, to do better deeds, to think success thoughts, he is not the best friend for us. "I had a friend." Can those who know you intimately say that of you.—Georgia Moore Eb- erling. Small Words Best Avers the Christian Science Moni- tor, small words are best. Leave the long ones to those who need to show they have been to school. Short words have force. Most of the strong thoughts and acts and hopes of men take short words to tell them. Might and right, strength, faith, are words of just one sound each. And such words speak well in small groups. From start to the full stop need be but a few sounds—each sound like trees and grass and lakes and the a word, each word a punch, and the whole a cause won. Things for which men feel awe niay be held each in a small word. Things they love, too, sea, the blooms in the yard by the door. Things they hate need not be tord, nor things they fear, but these, too can be felt in the sweep of a short string of short words. More could be found to say for words of one sound, fo:hains of words with few links. This should show that one can talk long though he uses short words, and he may say less in long ones and more of them. School and college girls are nearly always attracted to two- piece dresses, because they can be worn as separate items. For instance, today's model, features skirt and tunic in either length. Make the skirt of light; weight woolen and the tunic °• of novelty silk with wool effect. By the way of change, wear a sweater with your skirt. And perhaps you'd like to make the shorter tunic or blouse of satin crepe or of plaid angora. Style No. 3309 is designedfor sizes 14, 16, 18 years, 36, 38 and 40 -inches bust. Size 16 requires 2% yards of 39 -inch material for full length blouse and 2%s yards of 39 -inch material for skirt.

THE MESSAGE OF JEREMIAH Jeremiah 7: 1-11, 21,.23 GOLDEN TEXT — Hearken unto my voice, and 1 will be your God, and ye shall be my people. — Jeremiah 7:23. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING TIME — This particular pro- phecy of Jeremiah occurred, it would appear from the text itself, at the time when the great revival broke out in the eighteenth year of Josi- ah's reign,, which was the fifth year of the ministry of Jeremiah, and, therefore, about B.C. 621. PLACE At the entrance or gate of the temple in Jerusalem. We place this chapter in the eighteenth year of Josiah's reign, which was the fifth year of the min- istry of Jeremiah, B.C. 621. "Stand in the gate of Jehovah's house." In Herod's temple there were seven gates connecting the in- ner with the outer court, viz., three on the south, and one on the west. If this represented the state of things in Solomon's temple, Jere- miah would probably have stood at one of -these looking down upon the people who were assembled in the outer court, prepared to pass in. "And proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of Jehovah, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship Jehovah." All the people of Judah could only be addressed if there was some na_ tional feast being observed at this time. "Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place." Ways will mean rather the settled habits; doings, the separate acts which go to form them. Trust yea not in lying words, saying." The word is often used by Jeremiah to describe the vanity and falsehood founded on the method of the teachers who opposed him. "The Jehovah, the temp.le of Jehovah, are temple of Jehovah, the temple of these." The th:ecrold repitition is for the sake of emphasis. "For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye thor- oughlr execute justice between a' roan and .his neighbors." The empha- sis' here is upon righteous living, i.e., upon right and just relationships between a manand his fellow -Ween, "If ye .oppress not the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow. The Mosaic law was stronger in it de- nunciations of these sins (Ex. 22:21 ff,; Dent. 24:17ff,), "And shed not innocent blood in this place." That is, by false accusations and unfair trials and the persecution of the in- nocent. "Neither walk after other gods to your own hurt." It should always be remembered that the laws which God gave to level were given for their good (Dent, 6:24), and any violation of a law, the obedience to which would certainly bring good, must result in hurt. "Then, will I cause you to dwell in this 'F;e, in the land that I gave to your fathers, from of old even for evermore," As a great German scholar, T. H. Kurtz, has said: "This bond still continues, ev- en though Israel has been banished for seventy, and again for eighteen hundred, years from the land of its inheritance. As the body is adapted and destined for the soul, and the soul for the body, so is Israel destin- ed for that land and that land for Israel. "Will ye steal, °murder, and com- mt adultery, aad swear falsely." All of these sins are referred to in the second table of the decalogue. How deeply Israel was guilty of each of these sins at this particular time, we do not know. "And burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods that ye have not known." The sins here re- ferred to belong to the first table of the decalogue, and, in reality, are those which are generally first in- dulged in before sins against one's fellow -men are committed. "And come and stand before me M this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are deliver-' ed; that ye may do all these abo- minations?" Jeremiah actually; charges these people with believing in their minds that, by the discharge of the duty of offering sacrifices and worshipping in the temple of Jerusalem, they were set free for a return to wickedness. "Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes?" This verse is the one to which Christ alludes in his de.. munciation of somewhat similar con- ditions in his own day (Matt. 21:13; Mark 11:17; Luke 19:46). `Behold, I even I, have seen it, saith Jeho- vah." Jeremiah, here, no doubt, touches ironically on the false con- fidence with which the Jews deceiv- ed themselves. "Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Add your burnt -of., ferings unto your sacrifices, and eat ye flesh." Burnt offerings were consumed whole, while of sacrifices wg,ty rnrinl?,c • were, reserved._to ferer. The scene here is Add -one` sacrifice to another — multiply your victims ad libitum; it will af- fect ffect you not. "For 1 spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt concerning burnt - offerings or sacrifices." The asser_ tion here made is a very difficult one to understand on the surface. That sacrifices were instituted in the wilderness, the Pentateuchal` books clearly reveal, and some have concluded from this that those par- ticular passages in the Pentateuch speaking of sacrifices were inserted centuries later. The correct explana tion of this passage is well stated by Professor A. W. Streane. The phraseology of Jeremiah proves that he had in his mind the promulgation of the Ten Commandments on Sinai.' Now, among these, we find no di- rection concerning sacrifices and they were the only precepts which had the honor of being treasured up. in the ark. "But this thing I commanded them, saying, Hearken unto my, voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people; and walk ye in all the way that I command you, and that it may be well with you." From the fact that obedience to the moral law always ranked first, it follows, and this is Jeremiah's spe• cial point, that sacrifices were wholly 'worthless when offered by the immoral.
