PAUL REVIEWS HIS LIFE STRAWBERRY-WHIPPED-CREAM ICE See Recipe Below. Cold, Frosty and Delicious Do you remember how, as a child, a party just wasn’t a party unless you had ice cream? Do such child hood memories even now create lit tle appetite loggings for that frosty, flavorsome dish—longings that send you hurrying to the kitchen to make up a batch of your own favorite frozen dessert? Homemade ice creams and sher bets are more popular than ever now that effi cient modern ice cream freezers make quick work of their prepara tion. (You can freeze smooth, velvety sherbets and ice cream in r 5 to 10 minutes flat!)

LESSON TEXT—Philippians 1:1214, 21- 24; 3:12-14; II Timothy 4:7, 8. GOLDEN TEXT—I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, 1 have kept the faith.—II Timothy 4:7. Self-examination may be a most profitable experience if carried out in the right spirit and for a good purpose. It may be very hum bling to look at one’s experiences and accomplishments in honest ap praisal, but the very humility which is thus brought about may be the first step toward better things and may prove to be a real means of blessing. Paul, whese life we have been studying together for the last three months, made a review of his own life and experience in various places in his epistles. We cannot study them all, but in the brief portions before us we find that the apostle had laid hold of those certainties without which life is largely mean ingless and useless. He had found victory •ver both himself and his circumstances. He was perfectly clear about his eternal destiny. He had a goal toward which his life was directed in earnest endeavor, and he had in view the reward which was to be his when he met his God. What an excellent oppor tunity we have to bring out the truth as related to ourselves on this com ing Lord’s Day. I. Living Above Circumstances (Phil. 1:12-14). Paul had been imprisoned for the gospel’s sake. Did that stop him? No, for he made the very guards who were assigned to watch him at his house the objects of his min istry and they, in turn, became mis sionaries of the cross. He sought to win each one as he took his des ignated period of guard service and then sent him out as a testimony to “the whole Praetorian guard and to all the rest” (v. 13, R. V.). What a consistent and glowing Christian life Paul must have lived day by day. Not only were some of his Chris tian brethren encouraged by his ex ample to preach the gospel, but we note in verse 15 that others, taking advantage of the fact that Paul was in prison, went out to preach just to show that they were as good as he, making their very preaching an expression of their envy of his popularity. Paul showed victory over circumstances by thanking God that the gospel was preached, even though it was done in a wrong spirit. II. Facing Eternity With Joy (Phil. 1:21, 24). To Paul, departure from this life would mean his entering into per fect fellowship with Christ and un limited service for Him. He there fore had a strong desire to depart and to be with the Lord. He would not, however, turn away from his present privilege and duty. If it was God’s will that he should abide in the flesh, he purposed that it I should be literally true of him that ! to live is Christ. If that be true in a man’s life, then it must neces sarily follow that to die is gain. The reason men fear death is that in place of saying “to live is Christ,” they say “to live is money,” “posi tion,” “pleasure,” or even “sin.” III. Pressing Toward the Goal (Phil. 3:12-14). These are the words of the man who possibly was the greatest Chris tian and Christian worker of all time. Was he satisfied with him self? No, the Spirit of Christ in him and the vision of the goal which he had not yet attained made him press on. The spiritually minded Christian has no word of commendation for past success, he gives Christ the glory. He does not permit past failures to hold him back, for they have been put under the blood. He is not content merely to hold his own, for he knows that to stand still is to go back. Christian friends, let us by God’s blessing and grace take a forward step today, and to morrow, and the day after, that we may, like Paul, press on toward the goal to the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Scripture speaks frequently of the reward which shall come to the faithful Christian at the close of a life of holiness and service for Christ. It is no doubt commend able that Christians do not often speak of their reward, for it should be true of every servant of Christ that the love of Christ should con strain him. On the other hand, it is important that we keep before us the fact that at the end of the road there is recognition by “the Lord, the righteous Judge,” and that we may properly look forward to the receiving of the crown of righteous ness from His hand. The life of the Christian has glorious meaning from beginning to end, yes, and on through all eternity! Christ’s Power One of the undeniable miracles of Christian history is the mystic pow er of the disciples of Christ to re main faithful to Him in spite of all possible temptations to desert thf faith. Frederick the Great Knew How To Rebuke a Grumbling Officer It is a story they tell of Fred erick the Great, how at one of his levees toward the end of his reign an old field officer came up and prayed a word with his majesty. “Why not?” says Frederick, who loved his soldiers. “Step over to the window with me, good Herr Oberst. You were saying—” “Majesty,” says the Oberst, “I have spent my life in your service. My hair has grown gray, follow ing your standard. My health is broken, my old body is covered with wounds, from your cam paigns and your battles. And Maj esty, all these hard yeaae, all this toil, all these battles and marches count as nothing when I see youn- kers promoted over my head—chil- The Art of Conversation On the Road THRIVING is often monoto- ^ nous, and to break the te dium drivers indulge in con versation. Sometimes this pas time leads to serious accidents. Following is a guide for motor ists: Don’t discuss anything debat able or join in any arguments. Converse on innocuous sub jects such as the weather,. clothes, sports, hobbies, art, en tertainment and books. Don’t tell or allow your pas sengers to tell jokes. A person often closes his eyes while laughing heartily. — Joan Ed wards in Kansas City Star. dren who were cadets wfyen I led a company in your grenadiers. Look at so and so, look at that one —lieutenant generals, and I am still a major. Majesty, I grow to the end of my mortal term. For all my years of service, if for noth ing else, grant me promotion.” The Prussian king took his arm and pointed to the window, where a picket line of artillery mules munched their straw. “Major, you see those mules? You see the old flea-bitten mule at this end? They have made many campaigns; the old one, this way, has made 20 campaigns. But, my good Herr Oberst, they are still mules!”—John W. Thomason Jr. in American Mercury. The captain of a cable ship re cently reported that he had re paired a break in a submarine ca ble off the coast of South Africa with little or no difficulty. How ever, even if all goes well, the job of locating and repairing an ocean cable seems intricate and arduous to a landlubber. Electricians on shore first de termine by means of special in struments where the cable is bro ken. Then the cable ship steams to the spot. The ship lowers a grappling hook and steams slowly back and forth at right angles to the path of the cable. When the cable, which is often buried in the mud, is hooked, it is immediately pulled to the surface and repaired.
