“The Name
Is F amiliar—
BY
FELIX B. STREYCKMANS
and ELMO SCOTT WATSON
Lutheran
IT’S a common thing today to say
a person is a Lutheran, referring
to one’s religion. But when Martin
Luther, more than four centuries
ago, began to disagree with just a
few of the beliefs of the established
church, no one thought—especially
Luther himself—that he was start
ing a new faith that millions would
follow and call Lutheranism.
Martin Luther was born in Sax
ony in 1483 and
given a very strict
religious training.
He / became a
priest when he
was 25. Ten years
later he chal
lenged some of
the teachings of
his church. He
had no intention
of starting the
Reformation or
even of denying
j ,„ the supremacy of
Martin Luther c h a i r 0 f gt.
Peter. But the church made such
an issue of his heresy—and he fought
back so zealously—that finally, in
1520, Luther was excommunicated
and his writings were burned at
Rome, Cologne and Louvain. His
answer was to bum the papal bull
which excommunicated him and he
was hailed as the champion of re
ligious liberty.
From 1526 to 1529 he prepared a
new church service, corresponding
to his ideas of the doctrines of the
gospel. The Reformation spread
rapidly.
Wedgwood Ware
F YOU are the owner of a prized
piece of Wedgwood ware, you
probably know that it’s named for
Josiah Wedgwood (1730-1795), the fa
mous English pottery maker. But
do you know that, as an American,
'you have an even better reason for
holding his name in grateful remem
brance? For Wedgwood was a lead
er among the Englishmen who not
only sympathized
with the Ameri
can colonies dur
ing the Revolu
tion but did more
than that. He dis-
tributed pro-
American litera
ture among his
countrymen and
helped build up
such a strong sen
timent against the
war that, the king
and his ministers
were willing to
stop it after the capture of Corn
wallis.
Wedgwood also contributed heavi
ly to a fund which was raised in
England to make easier the unhappy
lot of Americans imprisoned there
during the war and in a short time
this amounted to nearly $500 per
prisoner. We should also remember
him gratefully because his portrait
medallions of hundreds of impor
tant personages of his time (similar
to the one illustrating this article)
give us an idea, which we would
not otherwise have, of the appear
ance of those notables.
Such were the services of this
man who, despite the handicap of
illness and a lack of education, not
only “placed the hitherto undevel
oped pottery industry of England
on the pinnacle upon which it now
stands’’ but was also a very great
artist who belongs to all mankind.

Titian-Haired
f F ALL the authors who have de
scribed their pretty heroines as
having titian hair were placed end
to end and then asked to describe
what they meant by titian, most of
them would be out of luck.
Titian hair — or titian anything
else, for that matter—is a color that
characterizes many of the paintings
of one of the world’s greatest art
ists whose name
was Titian. His
full name was Ti-
ziano Vecelli and
he was born in
the Venetian Alps
in 1477.
The color which
he was the first
to put upon can
vas and for which
present authors
take his name in
vain, is a reddish-
yellow and very
vivid. The yellow
is so prominent and the mixture so
dazzling that girls who had that
kind of hair would scare the heroes
away.
Titian painted thousands of pic
tures and became very wealthy. He
was more than 95 years old when
he died.

SOMETHING NEW AND DIFFERENT
(See Recipes Below)
New Recipes for Your File
“Something old and something
new” is just as important in menus
as it is in a bride’s costume.
It’s a good idea, when you plan
to experiment with something en
tirely new, to in
clude in that
meal one • dish
you know the
family is really
keen about. For
instance, if the
dessert is some
thing very new
and different, be
sure that the
main dish of your meal is one that’s
familiar and well-liked.
And, it’s an excellent idea, when
most of a meal is composed of fam
ily favorites, to include one new
dish for a touch of variety. It may
be a cut of meat that you haven’t
used before, prepared in an unusual
manner; or perhaps it will be a
vegetable that’s new and strange to
you; or it might be just an out-of-
the-ordinary conserve or relish to
supplement last summer’s supply,
which, by this'time is probably run
ning very low.
You’ll find, here, an assortment of
recipes for foods that are unusual
and delicious. There’s a new way
of preparing shoulder of beef—in
one of those easy casserole dishes
you like to serve, where you don’t
want to spend too much time in the
kitchen; serve the Baked Shoulder
Steak with baked or scalloped pota
toes, buttered green beans and rhu
barb pie, and watch your family
beam!
“Pork chop treat” served with a
crisp, chilled salad of lettuce, ap
ples, and dates, needs only a bev
erage, bread and a favorite dessert
to make a completely satisfying
meal; and if you want to please the
man of the family in any kind of
weather, serve “pork chops deli
cious” with cheese biscuits, a sim
ple green salad, lemon meringue
pie and coffee.

JEREMIAH DENOUNCES FALSE
PROPHETS
LESSON TEXT—Jeremiah 23:21-3*.
GOLDEN TEXT—Prove all things; hold
fast that which is good.—I Thessalonlans
6:21.
Tickling the vanity and pleasing
the ears of ungodly people with
words of flattery and false comfort,
giving them the assurance of peace
and prosperity in the very pursuit of
their sin, did not begin with the
false prophets of the twentieth cen
tury. Six hundred years before
Christ, Jeremiah the prophet had to
contend with such false teachers.
His manner of dealing with them
Is of great interest to us, for essen
tially the false prophets of that day
used the same methods and had
the same false message that char
acterize their descendants of today,
the so-called modernistic religious
liberals who Sre busy everywhere
attempting to undermine the faith
of God’s children in His Word. They
are revealed as being destitute of
divine authority, without a real mes
sage, and under the disfavor and
subject to the judgment of God.
They are
I. Without Divine Commission (w.
21-22).
“I have not sent these prophets”—-
that should have been sufficient for
the people of Judah. A man who
Is not sent by God has no word from
heaven, no help for needy humanity.
He is worse than an admittedly
secular teacher or philosopher, for
he claims to speak with divine au
thority and yet has only the disap
pointing impotence of a liar and a
fraud.
The reason Judah listened to them
was because they so eloquently
hushed the condemning voice of
their own consciences, assuring
them that all was well, when, as a
matter of fact, everything was
wrong. Men listen to the same kind
of teaching today for the very same
reason.
n. Without a Divine Message (w.
23-29).
These false prophets may delude
men, but they have not fooled God.
He is not a finite being, limited to
this earth (v. 23). He looks on men
from the far off viewpoint of heaven
and judges by His own high and
holy standards.
Nor can they hide from Him (v.
24). God hears the word spoken in
the academic shelter of a college
classroom, secretly poisoning the
young person’s heart against the
faith of his father and mother. A
day of judgment also awaits those
who in their public utterances use
the phraseology of orthodoxy, while
in private they undermine and de
stroy Christian faith.
If a man is foolish enough to sup
pose that the dreamings of his own
mind and heart will help anyone,
let him be honest enough to call
them just that; namely, dreams (w.
25-28). But God will assuredly not
hold those men guiltless who try to
pass off their own philosophies as
bearing the approval of God;
who would have people honor their
assemblies as Christian churches,
when they are at best only social or
intellectual gatherings designed to
magnify man rather than Christ.
Note in verse 29 that the Word of
God is like the fire that consumes
and purifies, and also like the ham
mer, that breaks up the rocky heart
of man.
III. Without Divine Favor and
Blessing (w. 30-32).
God is against every false proph
et. Small wonder that there is the
savour of death in their speaking
and their works. There is no divine
power in their message and no holy
dynamic to enable people to respond
to their admonitions. Prominent
modernists are decrying in our day
the fact that their cultured essays
and polished philosophies are not
reaching the hearts of men and are
failing to transform lives. At the
same time, humble preachers and
teachers of God’s Word, sometimes
in hidden and remote places, are re
joicing as they see the transforming
grace of God come upon lives as a
result of their simple proclamation
of the gospel of grace. Keep on,,
brethren; God is with you.
Observe what God calls the false
prophets—thieves (v. 30) and liars
(v. 32). Hard words, but they come
from One who is all-knowing, who
judges rightly and in love.
Like the Shadow
I am gone like the shadow when
It declineth; I am tossed up and
down as the locust. My knees are
weak through fasting; my flesh fail-
eth of fatness; I became also a re
proach unto them; when they looked
upon me they shaked their heads.—
Psalm 109:23-25.
It Doth Not Yet Appear
You are not what you ought to
be, and you are not what you can
be. You may rise yet, and fight a
good fight yet, and be a good man
once more, after the likeness of God
who made you, and Christ who died
[or you!—Charles Kingsley.

“Good day, sir,” he said. “Have
you any need for a highly intelli

“Well,” said the manager,
“what kind of a position are you

“I want something in the execu

“I’m really sorry,” said the*

“Oh, that’s all right,” came the:
