Zurich Herald, 1949-06-09, Page 7NDAY SCIIOOL LESSOX By Rev. R. Barclay Warren Jesus Rises From the Dead Mark 16:2-7; John 21:3-4; 7-12 Golden Text: But thanks he to God, Which givet'h us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 15:57. A beautiful Australian Jewess, Caroline Jonas, heartbroken be- cause of the unfaithfulness of a lover, determined to commit suicide • that very night. As she was going up .the steps of her hotel in Mel- bourne, a young woman heard her sigh, deeply and began a conversa- tion with her which ended with her giving her a New Testament. She assured her that it would tell her about a wonderful friend who would help her. She went to her room and started to read. When she came to the story of the cruci- fixion, she was breathless with fear and yet with hope, and thought that Christ would come from the cross arid defeat His enemies yet. When. she read that He was dead, she closed the book in despair. She returned it to the giver, saying, "You are welcome to your book Your Christ is a dead Christ, but when our Messiah comes, He will he a living Messiah." She was • urged to read further. When she read of the resurrection, she fell to her knees, exclaiming, "0 God, 1 believe that Jesus is our Messiah." The cross is meaningless without the empty tomb. If Christ could not conquer death, then He cannot free us from the total effects of sin. But He vanquished death and lives forevermore. When Jesus said, "Go tell My disciples and Peter," his special mention of Peter must have been comforting to this man who had denied Him. Nevertheless, Peter, with others went fishing. Peter would have to be doing something. I.hen Jesus appeared on the shore' and though they had taken nothing all night as they obeyed his direc- tion 153 fish were taken in the net. On reaching shore they found that the resurrected Saviour had pre- pared them a meal. Fuzzyless Wuzzy—Colliplete with war spear and native garb, pastor Robert Salau, 42, son of a reformed Solomon Islands head hunter, arrives in New York with a GI haircut. Before he left his home island, Salau had a fine crop of bushy hair, just like the other fuzzy wuzzies. His only reaction to being told of his 12 -week tour of the U. S., to spur missionary contributions for the Adventist Church, was to sneak off and get a haircut. because they want him to get back his south sea island glamor. Now his chaperons won't let Salau get near a barber shop because they want him to bet back his south sea island glamor. Science cannot explain the resur- rection. Here is an act of God. It is symbolic of the Divine power in raising men and women from the power and death of sin. "He lives, He lives, salvation to impart. You ask me how I know He lives, He lives within my heart." ev crvdol% e 0. C la r ,e We haven't had a "million dollar ram" yet. but we have had a shower which might possibly be worth a hundred dollars, more or less—just enough to show us what a little moisture can do, The morning of our first little sprinkle I had been out to the vegetable garden, looking longingly and despairingly at the long rows where never so much as a single seed had sprouted—and that after two weeks. During the day we had a little 'shower. About an hour later, for some unknown reason, I wandered off ,to the garden again —and what did I see but little shoots of this and that coming 'up in every row. My eyes were fairly, popping :'.. I just couldn't believe. it—what. 1 saw was almost akin to Jack and the beanstalk. Things couldn't grow that quickly! But there they were—and 1 wasn't dreaming. However, such phenome- nal growth didn't last long. As yogi know, the weather changed, it became cooler, and, although there was rain all'.around us, we didn't get any more here, so our little plants got disccruraged and quit growing. Today we got a bit more raid. It all helps and we are thankful for small inereiet—but what we want is a real gond soaker. Partner says the pasture is terribly dry • with scarcely any growth at all. How- ever, we haven't turned the cows out.yet, so at least what little grasp there is isn't betting chewed off. Ah, those cows—and calves! A few tinges lately, Bob has been working late with his truck so 1 have been down at the barn helping Partner at chore time. i can't say r do match in the way of work .. . but since we still have Live calves running around, my job is to see that those same calves stay with their right mothers. They start out all right—When let loose each calf goes straight to its own mother and loses no time in finding the source of nourishment. But half way through a meal our sweet little calves are just as likely as not to drink that possibly the milk from some other cow :tight taste a little better. So, if one of them should escape my watchful eye, it is down the stable on the run and quite likely to get ander the very cow that Partner is milking—a little matter which both Partner and the cow would naturally resent, Partner verbally, and the cow with her heels, So 1 have learned to keep a pretty strict watch on our feeding calves until they are through. Then they are allowed to run around— providing they run in the right di- rection. Watching these calves exercise is really something. They get in the feed way—a long passage with hay piled up at the end. They chase each other in. and over, and around the hay. They race back and forth with terrific speed—and then stop dead in their tracks. i really think Nature must have pro- vided calves with booster brakes— they stop so suddenly. But when• it is time to return to their pen, our unpredictable little calves lose all power of locomotion. They be- come absolutely immobile—or if they do move, it is always in re- verse. Partner tugs and tugs at their collars, with little or no result. Then he gets slightly annoyed and propels the calves forcibly from the rear. Suddenly, without any warning, the calves kick up their heels and away they go, with their tails in the air, and Partner in hot pursuit -hot in more ways than one. Since 1 have Nen helping Part- ner a bit at the barn, Honey has taken to visiting the stables. How- ever, we quickly discouraged her sociable intentions. Cows, calves and horses are enough, but if Honey should get mixed up with then, that would be just too much. Honey likes to play with our house cat, hot what would 'happen if Honey should start chasing our barn cat around while the cattle were in the barn I wouldn't like to say, Somebody might get killed— and it probably wouldn't be Honey. We intended shipping one of our veal calves out this week, but when we phoned the trucker he said, "It will be the middle of the week before I can pick it up—Tuesday is a holiday, you know." A holiday: . . So it is—and 1 suppose people in offices, stores and factories have been looking forward to it. But on a farm, we always seen to forget about holidays— until we are reminded by the baker not corning, or the grocery stores being closed. For the life of me, I never can remember which holi- days the mailman takes off and which not, so I always go down anyway. We are quite happy for the mailman to have his day off, but we do wish it were possible to get our mail at the post office by going in far it. There always seems to be something important we are looking for just when s holiday comes around. When you're down and out some- thing always turns up, \'onr friends' noses, for instances, Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee Q. Is it good form to use the spoon to test the temperature of the coffee? A. Yes; this is far better than burning the mouth, or perhaps sput- tering out the liquid. But after test- ing it, the spoon should be left in the saucer and the coffee sipped from the cup. Q. Is it all right for a bride to have a married woman act as one of her bridesmaids? A, Yes, this is quite often done. Q. When writing a Ietter of appli- cation for a position, should it be hand written or typed? A. A typewritten letter for this purpose is preferred. Some buiness firms, however, instruct applicants to write their letters by hand. Q. How should one eat a bowl of soup properly? A. Lift the soup with an outward sweep of the spoon, then take it into the mouth from the side of the spoon, never from the tip. Q. How long should a call of con- dolence be? A. For the length of time neces- sary to perform the required duty, never longer. Q. If all the guests at a dinner, with the exception of one, have re- fused to accept a second helping of a certain dish, is it all right for that one to accept? A. It is better not to do so, as this would naturally cause a delay in the serving of the next course. The well-bred person is always consid- erate of others; and that is a prince secret of popularity. HOW CAN 1? By. Anne Ashley Q, How can I brighten a dingy rug? A. After the rug is thoroughly cleaned and placed on the floor, and it still has a dingy, faded look, get a pan of warm water and put a cup 'of vinegar and a tablespoonful of ammonia into it. Wring a woolen cloth out of the water and wipe the rug all over. Both acid and ammon- ia have a tendency to restore faded colors. Q. How can I keep cracker crumbs from absorbing grease? A. Remember never to use crack- er crumbs when covering food for frying. They will absorb the grease, which bread crumbs will not do. Q. How can I remove paint spots from glass surfaces? A. Try using a little vinegar. Q. How can I remove a musty amen from jars? A. If jars and bottles that are to be used for preserving have a musty, disagreeable odor, fill them with cold water in which soda has been dissolved. This will soon freshen them. Wash in hot water and suds, rinse well, and • they are ready for use. Q. How can I keep a crack in a window from leaking? A. A coat of clear shellac over a cracked window pane will keep it front leaking until a new pane can be installed. Q. How can 1 make cleaning fluid odorless? A. Add a few drops of oil of sassafras to each quart of fluid used in cleaning clothes, This will de odorize it and entirely remove ani disagreeable odor from the gavel( after the cleaning. BLE, or clam Andrews. I think it as Solomon --somebody in the Good Book, anyway—who is quoted as saying "Of the making of many books, there is no end"; and around this time of year, after glancing at various cookery col- umns appearing here and there, one is inclined to think that "shortcake recipes" might well he substituted for the word "books." Still, who am 1 that I should try and be different; so here's a recipe which, I imagine, might be new to some of my readers. It's called POT SHORTCAKE Sauce 2 tablespoons butter 3 cups strawberries 1 cup sugar 1 tablespoon flour Shortcake I t i cups flour i§ cup Sugar s4 teaspoon salt -2 teaspoons baking powder i:ii cup butter ,q cup milk 1 beaten egg. Method: Melt the butter in the bottom of a kettle and add the strawberries, which have been mixed with the sugar and flour. Place over a low fire while you mix the batter for the shortcake. Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together. Cut in the butter and add the egg and milk. Beat this mixture hard and pour over the strawberries. This can be then covered tightly and cooked on the top of the stove, or it can be baked in a moderate oven for 25 minutes. Not a very scientific sounding recipe, I'm afraid, with those "eighths" and "third," but very good eating, for all that, as I'm sure you'll agree. All the way from England comes this next recipe for tarts that are really delicious. Strawberry Tarts 14 cups flour 1 teaspoon sugar teaspoon salt cup butter 1 egg (beaten) 1 tablespoon thick cream 2 quarts strawberries 1 cup sugar Method: Sift the salt, flour and sugar together. Work in the butter, then bind all together with the beaten egg. Roll the mixture out gently on a floured board and spread it with the thick cream. Roll it up; unroll it; then roll it up again. Set in your refrigerator or other very cool place for two hours. Wash and inspect the berries and pick out 48 of the most perfect - ones. Crush the rest and add the cup of sugar. Simmer gently for half an hour. Strain and continue to boil until the sauce is thick. Now roll your chilled dough in snail circles, large enough to fit into muffin tins: Crimp the edges and brush with beaten egg, and. bake in a hot oven, watching care- s- riss el to Crossword Muzzle fully that they don't burn. Now place four whole strawberries in each tart, and glaze with the straw- berry syrup, Sounds like a lot of trouble? Maybe so; but well worth it I think you'll discover. Next item—and last for this week —is a recipe for Lazy Daisy Cake rz cup milk 1 tablespoon butter 2' eggs 1 cup sugar 1 cup flour, sifted,- 1 ifted -1 teaspoon baking powder 74 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla. Scald milk, to which butter has been added, and keep hot while mixing other ingredients. Beat eggs until light and foamy. Then add sugar and beat well with egg beat- er or electric mixer. Sift the flour, salt and baking powder and add, beating again 'til well mixed, then add vanilla and hot milk, stirring carefully. Bake in a greased pan, either loaf or oblong flat pan, in a 375° oven. While cake is still warm spread on the following mixture: Two-thirds cup brown sugar, one- third cup melted butter, two table- spoons thick cream and one-half cup cocoanut. Return to oven and leave 'til the frosting caramelizes, but not long enough to dry out. Good-bye for now; be seeing you next week, I hope.
