What Every Good Cook
Should Know
There are certain principles of
food preparation which every good
cook follows, whether or not she’s
conscious of doing so, or under
stands the reasons on which they
are based.
To be sure, every so often we find
a recipe which seemingly contra
dicts every prin
ciple of cookery
that has ever
been formulated,
and in spite of it,
produces an ex
cellent product. I
suppose that’s the
proverbial exception that proves the
rule I ‘'But in general, following defi
nite rules of cookery produces the
best results consistently.
There is, for example, a standard
method for mixing cakes. Then
there are revolutionary methods
such as that which is used in the
jiffy cake recipe below. But it’s
well to remember that the unusual
method which, in one recipe, gives
entirely satisfactory results, for an
other recipe may not work at all.
These-are general rules (with an
exception to prove every one, I do
believe!) which the good cook fol
lows as a matter of habit:
1. When mixing butter cakes or
muffins, by the standard method,
cream shorten
ing, add sugar
gradually, then
egg yolks. Add
sifted dry ingre
dients and liquid,
* alternately, be
ginning and end
ing with the dry
ingredients.
2. Unless a recipe specifies other
wise, mix onty until the ingredients
are blended. ,
3. Cheese, egg and milk mixtures
require a low temperature for cook
ing. Too high a temperature is likely
to cause curdling.
4. When making pie crust, have
the ingredients as cold as possible.
5. When egg white is added to a
batter, it should be beaten until it
is stiff but not dry, and folded lightly
into the batter.
The recipes below will give you
excellent insults, in spite of the fact
that they seem somewhat contradic
tory. But remember that the meth
ods have been developed for these
particular recipes, and they may not
work if applied to any other.

THE CONTINUING TASK
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 28:16-20.
GOLDEN TEXT—Ye shall be witnesses
unto me . . . unto the uttermost parts of
the earth.—Acts 1:8.
World conquest! The dream of dic
tators and of national leaders down
through the ages is to be accom
plished, for there is One who has
the authority to claim such a place
of leadership who will one day rule,
for then “the kingdoms of this
world” will have become “the king
doms of our Lord, and of his Christ;
and He shall reign for ever and
ever” (Rev. 11:15). While we await
His coming to take the throne are
we to sit idly by? No indeed, for
even now Christ has all authority
and He has commissioned His fol
lowers to go out and to serve Him in
all the world by making disciples in
every nation.
I. The Obedient Disciples (w. 16,
17) .
The Lord never fails to keep His
^Ford, but often His followers miss
great blessing because they fail to
keep their appointments with Him.
He had told His disciples that after
His resurrection He would meet
them in Galilee, and we read that
they met Him at the appointed
place. One trembles to think of
what they anfr we might have
missed if they had failed to meet
Him.
His promise to us is just as true
and definite. “Where two or three
are gathered in my name, there am
I in the midst of them” (Matt. 18:
20) applies to us today. If we meet
Him at the appointed place, bless
ing will come to us and will flow out
through us to all the world.
Observe that “some doubted,”
that is, they were perplexed and un
certain about the risen Saviour. If
they persisted in their lack of faith
we know that it must have shut them
out of a great blessing, but at the
same time it did not hinder the
Lord’s gracious ministry to His oth
er- disciples.
II. The All-Powerful Leader (v.
18) .
Quietly and without any fanfare,
Jesus announced that all power was
given unto Him; or as the Revised
Version more appropriately trans
lates the word, “all authority.” He
does have all power, but He has
more. He has the supreme authori
ty which gives Him the right to rule
over the entire creation, heaven and
earth, spiritual as well as material.
No man in his right mind has ever
laid claim to authority over even so
much as the earth, but here is One
who without hesitation or qualifica
tion declares that to Him has been
given all authority in heaven as well
as in earth, that is, over the entire
creation. Surely it is God Himself
who here speaks to us.
III. The Great Commission (vv.
19, 20a).
“It is the sublimest of all specta
cles to see the risen Christ without
money or army or state, charging
this band of 500 men and women
with world conquest and bringing
them to believe it possible and to un
dertake it with serious passion and
power. Pentecost is still to come,
but dynamic faith rules on this
mountain in Galilee” (Dr. A. T,
Robertson).
Such faith and such a commis
sion call for a worldwide mission.
The church or individual without a
worldwide missionary vision assur
edly does not have the viewpoint oi
Christ. Observe also that it is an
evangelistic mission. We are not
called to entertain the world, nor
primarily to improve the social or
der. Our business is to “make dis
ciples,” that is, true followers of Je
sus Christ, which they can only be
come through accepting Him as Sa
viour and Lord.
Such a ministry will inevitably be
a teaching ministry. “Faith cometh
by hearing, and hearing by the word
of God” (Rom. 10:17). How foolish
is the preacher or evangelist who
fails to teach the Word of God. It is
His appointed method which cannot
fail. Christian baptism is also a
vital part of the Great Commission.
It was first practiced at Pentecost
(Acts 2) and later in the Church
(Acts 8 and 10).
IV. The Abiding Presence (v. 20b).
There is no other statement of fact
(for it is more than a promise) any
where or by anyone that can com
pare with the assurance of Christ
that He is with His witnesses al
ways, even unto the end of the age.
Consider first of all who is to be^
with us, namely, the Son of God, r
the risen Christ, the One with all
authority in heaven and earth! Then
note that He is to be with His dis
ciples “always.” How important that
is, for as we well know, the inspira
tion of even the greatest human
leader largely goes with him to the
grave. The Lord Jesus, on the other
hand, is with each one of His chil
dren always. What assurance thal
fact brings to every witness foi
Christ as he gives himself joyfully
to the carrying out of the Great
Commission!

styles
even if your Spring wardrobe is
not entirely settled in your own
mind! During the months to come,
you’ll want several free-and-easy
sleeveless tennis frocks; and even
before that, you’ll want at least
one “little suit” for street and run
about.. Well, here they both are,
in this truly money-saving pattern
(8597). The tennis frock has a
swing skirt, wide, inset belt and
strap back. Add the pinch-waisted
little jacket-blouse (the fitting is
all by means of easy darts) and
there’s your suit-frock.
What’s more, you can make the
jacket-blouse two ways—with scal
loped sleeves and neckline, and
with a naive, round collar. So you
can see what a help this clever
pattern will be! Perfect for sum
mertime in sports cottons, it will
be very smart for right now in
silk print, tie silk or fiat crepe.
Pattern No. 8597 is designed for
sizes 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20. Size 14
requires 2Vz yards of 39-inch ma
terial for frock; 1% yards for
jacket-blouse; 3 yards trimming.

"Yes. If she can't get up a flirtation

Fair Question
The celebrated pianist had been
boasting all through the dinner.
Finally he held up his hands dra
matically and exclaimed, “These
ten fingers have made me world
famous.”
The bored man opposite him
asked, drily, “Pianist or pick

Side-Slipped
The fancy-dress dance was near

comparing notes.
“Mrs. Smithington-Smythe looks
rather upset, don’t you think?”
said the first, gloatingly.
“Yes, my dear. You see, she
came as a Hawaiian beauty, with
grass skirts and all—and they
awarded her first prize in the hu

The special constable had been
told by his inspector to stop a

“The car was being driven by an

pulls out my notebook, she
snatches it, writes her autograph,
and then away she went.

“Congratulations, sir!” he said
cheerily. “You’re the father of a

“Thank goodness it’s a girl!”
