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

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

and bake approximately 15 minutes
longer.

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

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

2 cups cabbage (shredded)
1 cup pineapple (diced)

utes. (These too can be baked on the
day proceeding Thanksgiving.)

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.
