McCORMICK MESSENGER. MeCORlVlfrR. S. C.. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 16. 1939 Rotten Apples ^ \\7ERE you ever a youngster ** back East, where they bought apples by the barrel and stored them in the cellar over against the long winter evenings? When winter came, did you spend most of your Saturdays sorting over the barrels of apples, picking out the rotten ones so they would not make the whole barrel that way? And didn’t you and the family eat nothing but rotten apples the next week? Isn’t life like that? And didn’t you live in the kitch en, because the parlor should not be mussed up? And isn’t it the truth that you lived in the kitchen all your life? And didn’t you always wear your old clothes, because you had to keep the good ones to go to meeting on Sunday? And as a re sult, weren’t you run down at the heel and patched on the seat most of the time? And did you ever get over it? Haven’t you gone through life with an inferiority complex, hold ing musty ideas and most of the time the same old worn-out no tions until they were ready for the grab-bag? Do you still wait for somebody else to step ahead and do the pioneering? You do—if you’re still eating rotten apples.—W. L. Y. Davis, in Los Angeles Tribune. Gems of Thought N OR deem the irrevocable past as wholly wasted, wholly vain, if rising on its wrecks, at last to some thing nobler we attain.—Longfellow. Happiness never lays its finger on its pulse. If we attempt to steal a glimpse of its features, it disappears. —Alexander Smith. As a moth gnaws a garment, so doth envy consume a man.—Chrysostom. Better it were, that all the miseries which nature owns were ours at once, than guilt.—Shakespeare. Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every year find you a better man.—Franklin. Courage does not consist in the absence of fear, but the subjugation of fear. It is as easy to call back a stone thrown from the hand, as to call back the word that is spoken.—Menander.

LET US TELL YOU MORE ABOUT IT MEMORIES OF THANKSGIVING PRICELESS HEIRLOOMS (Recipes Below.) Cooking the Thanksgiving Dinner Incredible as it may seem the cal endar is bringing Thanksgiving time again and with it comes to every homemaker thoughts for the Thanks giving menu—plans for its prepara tion and anticipation of the family’s return. Today, however, I want to re verse this whole situation. I Want to suggest to you that enjoyment of your family on Thanksgiving day should be the key note of every one of the plans that you make for the day. Now that does not mean for one minute that I am suggesting that the Thanksgiving dinner be slighted. I couldn’t do that, for who of us for one minute would sacri fice those precious memories of Thanksgiving dinners at grandmoth ers that are really priceless heir looms. No, I say—we won’t sacrifice the dinner—but we will plan it so that you will be as free as possible on Thanksgiving day so that you too can enjoy the family and let the family enjoy you. A miracle you say? No—not really—just wise plan ning—plenty of work the day before perhaps—but time—no worry—and an easy dinner on Thanksgiving— and that’s worth while isn’t it? How to do it? Well here are my suggestions. First, it is entirely pos sible to clean, prepare and even stuff the turkey the day before Thanksgiving rather than on Thanksgiving morning. Then put it on a rack in an open roasting pan and store it in your refrigerator over night. If you have a mechani cal refrigerator it will be running of course. If you have an ice refrig erator, be sure to get an ample sup ply of ice so that your refrigerator can really work for you over this holiday. Vegetables—salads—relishes, in cluding celery, radish roses, etc., even desserts, one and all can be gotten ready on Wednesday and as I say, then all that remains for Thanksgiving day is just the cook ing, the table set ting qnd later the serving of the viands. Below I am including a number of Thanksgiving recipes which are all planned for just such Thanks giving ease. And—a happy Thanks giving to each one of you. Roast Turkey. • Allow % to 1 pound of turkey per person served. Dress, clean, stuff and truss turkey. Brush well with unsalted fat and place on rack in large open roasting pan. (Store over night in refrigerator if desired). Roast in moderate oven (325 de grees) allowing approximately 20 minutes per pound roasting time for a 12-pound turkey, 17 minutes per pound for an 18-pound turkey and 15 minutes per pound for a 22- pound turkey. Brush with melted butter just be fore serving. Dressing for Turkey. 10 cups soft bread crumbs 1 cup butter (melted) 1 tablespoon salt 1 cup chopped parsley 2 tablespoons poultry seasoning Mix all ingredients thoroughly and use for stuffing the turkey. Note: This amount of dressing is sufficient for a 10-pound turkey. If a larger turkey is to be stuffed the recipe should be increased proportionately. Giblet Gravy. Pour off liquid in pan in which turkey has been roasted. From liq uid skim off 6 tablespoons fat; re turn fat to roasting pan and brown with 6 tablespoons flour. Add 3 cups stock in which giblets, neck, and tip of wings have been cooked; or if preferred, 3 cups milk may be substituted instead of the stock. Cook, stirring constantly, until thick; then season to taste with salt ^.nd pepper. Add giblets (cut in small pieces), heat well, and serve hot. Oranged Sweet Potatoes. (Serves 6-8) Parboil 6 medium sweet potatoes, peel and slice lengthwise. (Prepare to this point on Wednesday and store overnight in refrigprator.) Arrange slices in baking dish and sprinkle with % cup brown sugar, dot with 2 tablespoons butter and add 1 table spoon grated orange rind. Pour over this Vz cup orange juice and scatter 2 tablespoons brown sugar and a little paprika over top. Bake cov ered for 30 minutes in moderately hot oven (375 degrees). Uncover and bake approximately 15 minutes longer. Creamed Onions With Cream Cheese. (Serves 6) 2 pounds small white onions 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons flour 2 cups milk Vz teaspoon salt 1 block cream cheese Boil onions until tender in salteu water. (This can be done on the day before Thanksgiving and in this way the onions will be all ready for their final baking on Thursday.) Melt butter, add flour and stir thor oughly. Add milk and salt and stir until thick. Then add 1 block of cream cheese broken in small pieces. When blended, pour over onions in a baking casserole. Sprin kle with buttered cracker crumbs and bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees) until crackers are browned. Serve at once. Cabbage-Pineapple Gelatin Salad. 1 tablespoon unflavored Gelatin % cup pineapple juice (canned) 1 cup water (boiling) lYi teaspoon salt tablespoons vinegar 2 cups cabbage (shredded) 1 cup pineapple (diced) Soak gelatin in the cold pineapple juice. Add to hot water and stir until dissolved. Add salt and vine gar. Chill. Add remaining ingredi ents and pour into mold. Chill un til set. Pumpkin Pie. (Makes 2 pies) 3 cups pumpkin 4 eggs IVz cups brown sugar % teaspoon salt % teaspoon grated nutmeg % teaspoon ginger Ys teaspoon cloves Ya teaspoon allspice % teaspoon cinnamon \Yz cups milk (scalded) To cold canned or cooked pump kin add the eggs (slightly beaten).

(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for November 19 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. WARNINGS AND PROMISES LESSON TEXT—Matthew 7:l-i4. GOLDEN TEXT—And as ye would tha» nen should do to you, do ye also to them Skewise.—Luke 6:31. “How to Win Friends and Influ ence People” may be worthwhile to study, unless it is done from a pure ly selfish desire to be popular so that one may make more money and get on in the world. Everyone should desire to make more friends and better friends, and the Chris tian in making friends should make them for his Lord as well as for himself. Actually the best of the rules and suggestions offered on this subject are already an integral part of Christian conduct as revealed in the Word of God. I. Avoid Judgment (w. 1-5). By not judging others censoriously we escape such judgment of our selves both by God and by our fel low man. The admonition, “Judge not,” obviously does not mean that we are not to exercise our God- given ability to discern between good and evil, nor does it mean that we are to stand silent in the pres ence of wrongdoing. Verse 6 in this very chapter calls for the use of judgment (see also I Thess. 5:21). In all such judgment we are to avoid an unkind spirit and the hy pocrisy described in verses 3 to 5. We are to be certain that our own lives are above reproach regarding that which we condemn (v. 5). The none too common exercise of cor recting our own faults will serve a salutary twofold purpose of improv ing ourselves and of making us too busy to find fault with others. II. Be Reverent (v. 6). While we are not to judge oth ers, we are not to go to the opposite extreme of being so lenient in our attitude that we permit ungodly men to profane and trample down sacred things. This does not mean, as some would have us believe, that we are not to present the gospel to the low est of sinners; for example, to a drunkard. Only thus can such an individual be saved. But it does mean that in dealing with holy things we are not only to be rev erent ourselves, but we are to be careful that we do not permit wick ed men to misuse and to profane the holy things of God. III. Pray in Faith (vv. 7-11). Here is a straightforward prom ise from the lips of our Lord Him self, assuring us that prayer will be answered. It seems that He must have foreknown that some would feel that the promise was too good to be true, so He stated it in three fold form and repeated it twice. Why not believe it, act on it, and re ceive the answer? Observe that there is to be im portunity in prayer, we are to seek if we would find. “Our Lord does not guarantee to us anything at first asking. God does not open His treas ury to a passing bugle-call or the tap of a careless hand which just touches the door and then passes on. Prayer is not a momentary wish or a transitory whim. It is the ut terance of a confirmed and persist ent and unwearying longing. If you want a prayer answered, you must go on praying” (J. G. Greenhough). We have included the so-called Golden Rule under this section be cause the word “therefore” links it with that which goes before. Dr. G. Campbell Morgan aptly says, “If we omit the ‘therefore,’ we cannot obey the verse. If we retain the ‘therefore,’ and are driven to ask, to seek, to knock, and to know that the Listener to the asking, to the seeking, to the knocking, is our Fa ther, then the rule is golden with heaven’s own light, but in no other way.” The Golden Rule is really the ful fillment of the law and the proph ets, but in the light of Christ’s glo ry it is also a great principle of Christian love and consideration. IV. Walk in the Narrow Way (vv. 13, 14). The road to heaven is a narrow way because it is built to carry us through the quicksands of this world to a glorious consummation. It is not a dismal road, for it is lighted by God’s glory; and it is not a lone some road (even though few go that way), because Jesus walks with us. The road to destruction is broad. The entrance is easy; there is much company, but one soon finds that the company is distasteful—just fellow sinners. Jesus is not going that way. The best people, God’s people, are going the other way. The road leads into all kinds of by-ways where pit- falls abound. The earthly pleas ures one thought to enjoy have, as Maclaren puts it, “a strange knack of losing their charm and at the same time increasing their hold.” Full of Grace I will neither be content with what .Treasure of grace I have, nor im patient of God’s delay; but every day I will endeavor to have one drop added to the rest; so my last day shall fill up my vessel to the brim.— Joseph Hall. | -w m- or*, k. ■ vx. *7* C.
