PLYMOUTH ROCK
B ECAUSE the proprietor of a
home for toprlsts solicited pa
tronage on hlstotlc old Plymouth
Rock* in Massachusetts, he was
brought before the town council of
Plymouth within whose border the
old rock lies. ^-The ruling of the
council was that the old rock does
not belong to the town or to any
private Individual but to the entire
Vwuutry, all Americans hqvlng the
same rights of ownership—in this
shrine.
The new cars of 1938, now on ex
hibition, are so extraordinarily beau
tiful that every American should see
• them, regardless of Intention to bny
a new car. Most encouraging Is the
^ determined energy that business men
and engineers of the automobile indus
try have shown in fighting the depres-
lion, while improving that which
•eemed beyond Improvement
Rome gives—confirmation—of the
Slaughter of six thousand women and
children by Ethiopian warriors taking
vengeance on the fathers of the chll-
-dreh who deserted to Italy. Rome also
reports the killing of five hundred
Ethiopians by Italian bombing planes,
and “an attempt to assassinate Halle
Selassie by an unnamed American ne
gro.”
Haile Selassie of Ethiopia has “flung
the last available man into the battle
line,” relying on old men, young boys
•nd women to run his government, re
minding you of the late czar’s an-
*. nouncement that he was going to send
“bis last moujik.” He did not live to
do that.
The national effort to “buy ourselves
out of the hole” encounters dlfflcul
ties. The President, to make his four
billions cash spread as far as possible,
announced top wages of $93 a month.
But union labor says, “No; you must
pay us full union wages,” and New
York may have a state wide strike to
back the demand. President Roose
velt. It is said, refuses to concede that
public relief is a branch of union la
bor, and, even with 1938 looming
ahead, may Insist that two govern
ments In the country are one too many.
Heavy windstorms In Florida so late
lb the season are disturbing. Inhab
itants are moved away from the keys.
There Is no danger, however, to those
that occupy houses properly construct
ed and know enough to stay In them
during the short time that the storm
lasts.
Greece Is ready to take back her
, king and many Greeks are growing
“spike” mustaches like his. Many
Germans grew mustaches, curling up
ward, to imitate their former kaiser.
There Is not much- In Imitating mus
taches.
You/wonder why the Greeks cannot
find a Greek for king, If they must
have asking. In days of “the glory
that was Greece” It wasn’t necessary
‘ to go outside among “barbarians” to
find a ruler.
T hanksgiving day t How these
words spelled days and days of
work and worry for the colonial
housewife! A festive holiday It waa
called by proclamation, observes a
writer in the Boston Herald, but actu
ally it represented a day which de
manded more preparation than most
any other in the year. Our old New
England traditions required It—the
Puritans did, so must we—was the com
mon understanding of the day.
In days of yore grandmother would
start her Thanksgiving preparation
weeks la advance. The pies must be
made. Of course she wouldn’t serve
mince pies that hadn’t “ripened.” They
were made in quantity and put down
celjar where they frequently froze to a
solidity overcome only by a hot oven
Just before the feast.
In passing It might be well to remind
you of the custom In one New England
family to have three pieces of pie for
breakfast on Thanksgiving morn.
Mince, apple and squash were the three
dictated by tradition.
Well In advance of the traditional
day one would -see grandmother take
down the seasoning used but a few
times a year, the crackers would be
ground up and. gradually the stuffin’
for the turkey was prepared—this also
went down cellar to ripen. We mustn’t
forget the plum pudding which was
made well in advance and hung In a
bag up in the attic suspended from a
nail so Interested mice could not ap
proach.
Then came the days before Thanks
giving. Sons were drafted to collect
and crack the butternuts, walnuts,
beechnuts, etc. (and more than one fin
ger was smashed In the process).
Daughters were drafted to peel squash,
turnips, carrots, potatoes, sweet and
white, and of course the proverbial tear-
producing onions. .
The turkey must be caught, killed,
plucked, singed and hung up for a day
before he was brought to the kitchen.
Grandmother must make her famous
nut bread for William (“he does like It
so when he comes home”). "Sadie, you
ajake the fudge—Alice, you make the
molasses candy—Sue, you make—” and
so it goes. Everyone hustles, all want
ing the same dishes, the same stove
cover, the mlxin’ spoon, etc.
“Johnnie. Oh Johnnie! Go down to
two the feast took place—and then the
dishes. Stacks upon stacks of dishes,
pots and pans (usually the turkey pan
went under the sink for scouring the
following day).
Games, gossip, etc., occupied A brief
period until time for supper, wbea
again the kitchen staff swung Into ac
tion and made turkey sandwiches,
poured the cider and cut up the pies.
As the lights were blown out it waa
unusual to hear the women folks say,
“Didn’t we have a good time, but isn’t
Thanksgiving a tiresome day!”
This was the Thanksgiving of yore
contrasted to the modern Thanksgiving
of a restful morning, a motor ride
through the country or a- ride, “in
town.” a sumptuous dinner prepared by

You may want to know that In Eng
land, where good times have really
come hack, the Tories have made
|ieavy gains at the present election and
the Labor party sustains heavy losses.
Ramsay MacDonald, head of Britain’s

ly at labor's downfall. His work as
prime minister seems to have changed
his opinions. Experience often changes
our minds.

GOLDEN TEXT—I waa clad whan
they aaid unto me. Let ua go Into thn
house of the Lord. Paalm 122:1.
PRIMARY TOPIC—A New Houaa for
God.

Worship.

YOUNO PEOPLE AND ADULT
TOPIC—Building Adequate Churchea.
After the returned captives had set.-^
tied down in the towns surrounding
Jerusalem, the people were called to
gether for the purpose of establishing
the worship or the Lord God. This
movement was led by Joshua the priest
and Zerubbabel the governor. In view
of the fact that Ihe clearing away of
the debris of the old city and temple
and the erection of the new temple
would take a long time, an altar was
erected where sacrifices might be of
fered at once to God.
I. The Laying of the Foundation of
the New Temple (Ezra 3:8-13).
This was an auspicious occasion and
was celebrated with Impressive cere
monies.
1. The priests In their official ap
parel (v. 10). These garments sym
bolized their consecration to the Lord’s
service.
2. The priests with trumpets (v. 10)
Trumpets were used in calling the peo
ple together.'
S. The Levltes with cymbals (v. 10).
This was according to the arrange
ments made by David (I Chron. 15).
4. They sang together by course (▼.
11) . This means that they sang to
one another responsively.
5. Mingled weeping and singing (vv.
12, 13). Some of the older men who
had seen the magnificent temple of
Solomon wept when they saw how far
short the present foundation came of
the former temple. Others were glad
because of the favor of God which hid
Drought them back.
II. The Building of the TempleJUn-
dered (Ezra 4).
The leading adversaries were the
Samaritans, a mongrel people, the off-
.spring of the poor Jews who were left
In Palestine and the foreign people
who were sent into Palestine after the
Jews were taken captive. The three
perils which delayed the building of
the temple for about fourteen years
reveal the persistent methods which
the enemies of God use to hinder the
building program of God’s people In
every age.
1. An unintelligent pessimism (3:
12) . Because things were not as prom
ising as they should be, some were
not disposed to go forward with a
constructive program and even hin
dered those who possessed a hopeful
outlook. Under the circumstances, a
glorious beginning had been made
which had- promise of great things in
the future.
2. Worldly compromise (4:2,
The adversaries said, “Let us build
^with you: for we seek your God.’
P This Is Satan’s most common and ef
fective method. The help of the un
regenerate in forwarding the Lord's
work should not be accepted by the
Lord’s people.
3. ' Open opposition by the world
(4:4-24). When refused a part in the
work, open opposition‘was resorted to.
III. Asauranpe of the Completion of
the Second Temple (Zech. 4:6-10).
By means of the golden candlestick
is represented the restoration of the
lewish nation and the fulfillment of
its divine purpose. It was to be a
light In the world. There were
Insuperable difficulties In the way of
accomplishing their restoration, repre
sented by the great mountain, but as
surance was given that God by his
Holy Spirit could easily accomplish
their restoration. The mountain would
be displaced by a plain. The two
alive trees represent Zerubbabel and
Joshua. The Holy Spirit was to ac
complish this work through them.
IV. The Temple Finished (Ezra 6:
13-15).
Through thjLnlnlstry of the proph
ets, Haggai and Zecharlah (Ezra 5:1;
Hag. ,1. 2), the people were encour
aged to resume the work of the build
ing of the temple. When the temple
was finished, they solemnly dedicated
it to God (Ezra 6:16-22).
V. The Blsetedfiesa of Dwelling In
God's House (Ps. 84:1-4).
1. The longing of the soul for God's
.louse (vv. 1, 2).
2. The sparrow and swallow find
protection In the sacred precincta of
God’s honse (v. 3).
3. At home In God’s house (v. 4).
Those who have a heart for God find
their chief delight In dwelling in his
house.
Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pies
From the time the first golden pump
kin makes its appearance until the last
one has been taken out of storage,
there's no more universally popular
dessert than pumpkin pie. Although
canned pumpkin is available at all
times and makes excellent pies, pump
kin pie enjoys a definite season and is
most appreciated during the autumn
months: Everybody tfafi his own very
definite ideas of Just what s pumpkfr
pie should be from .-olnr to last*.
Hie question of variation of the
meat dish always puzzles the busy
housewife who must choose her
meals in reference to the time in
volved in the preparation. She nat-
nraUy depends on stefiks and chopa
and ham, all of which can be broiled
or panhrolled in a short time. These
are among the more expensive meats
and for this reason she varies them
with the well-known hamburger
steak, which may be very good or
very poor, depending upon the way
t la seasoned and cooked. Nothing
s more unappetizing than dry, poor
ly seasoned cakes of steaks. How
ever, there are many ways in which
It may be prepared so that the fam
ily will enjoy it rather than eat It
with resignation.
I wonder U you have ever pre
pared meat balls in the Swedish
fashion, which la not only unusually
good but which la also very econom
ical. Another recipe in which I like
to use chopped meat la known at
baked hamburg. The meat is well
seasoned with onion, a bit of catsup
If you like, as well as the usual salt
and pepper. It la made Into large
flat cakes, and, as the old-fashioned
recipe says,'"made white with salt,
yellow with mustard and black
with pepper.” A few onions may be
sliced on the 1 top before It la put
in a hot oven and baked far 15 or 20
minutes.
