iTSa Mmc, ENTERTAINING WHEN THE WEATHER’S WARM (See Recipes Below) If the mercury seems likely to pop right through the top of the thermometer, and guests are com ing for dinner, you can still keep cool! Plan your menu to permit as much preparation as possible in the cool er hours of the _ i /_ morning. Remem ber, when you plan the meal, that quality rath er than quantity will please your guests, and that a beautiful, cool, crisp salad will be more appetite-tempting, by far, than all the complicated hot dishes you can name! It’s wise, of course, to include one hot food in your menu, even though the weather’s torrid. There’s some thing about the contrast of hot foods and cold that makes a meal more pleasant to the taste (and to the digestion, as well). A cup of clear, hot soup, which might be prepared the day before • and reheated just before serving, a hot main dish that’s not too hearty or just a hot beverage, if you prefer it, will do the trick. You’ll find menus and tested reci pes for all kinds of summer enter taining in my cook book, “Easy En tertaining.” There are menus (and recipes) for teas, for buffet suppers, children’s parties, and for a wed ding reception, too. Orange-Grape-Pear Salad in Ice- Lined Salad BowL (Serves 8) Oranges, pears, grapes — sum mer’s juiciest fruits—in an ice- chilled salad bowl! What a decora tive answer to every cook’s prayer for something tempting to serve on hot weather menus. For a buffet party, serve it in a double bowl with ice to keep the salad chilled to just the right degree. With a sharp knife, peel 8 oranges, removing skin and inner membrane down to juicy meat. Cut in thin even slices. (Cal ifornia oranges are firm-meated and practically seedless, which makes them es pecially suited to slicing.) Peel and core 4 pears. Cut in slices. Halve and seed 2 cups of grapes. Combine fruits and put in salad bowl, which has been lined with romaine and watercress. These two salad greens incidentally give an interesting color contrast of light and dark green that is refreshing and that may well be used in any salad. ' Serve with sweet french dressing.

JOB’S REPENTANCE AND RESTORATION LESSON TEXT—Job 42:1-13. GOLDEN TEXT—And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends.—Job 42:10. The problem of suffering, like every other question arising in man’s inquiring heart, finds its true solution in a right view of God. Job found it to be so. As long as he and his friends concentrated their attention on his person and his troubles, they only became more deeply involved in confusion and doubt. Much of their discussion was on a high moral and philosophical plane, and they were all doubtless earnest and capable men, but in the end Job learned, and they learned through him, that the real difficulty was that they did not know God. Then God Himself appeared and brought before Job a panorama of the glorious works of God and His bless ings upon mankind (chaps. 38-41). Where was Job when the world was created (38:4)? Who holds the world together (38:6)? What is the origin of light (38:19)? What about the glory of the snowflake (38:22)? Job is told to consider the hand of ,God in the animal kingdom (chap. 39) and upon those that dwell in the sea (chap. 41). It dawned upon Job that he had been arguing against the providences of the all-knowing and all-powerful One—the eternal God. In that conviction and the repent ance which it brought forth, he ex perienced— I. Renewed Fellowship (w. 1-6). Job came to the realization that he had not really known God Him self until now. His religious experi ences and convictions hitherto, pre cious and important as they were, had been by “the hearing of the ear,” but now he had met God and all was changed. Fellowship with the Lord was renewed, but on an infinitely higher plane. Job had a real revival in his life which caused him to “abhor” everything that he had said and done; yes, even to set himself aside and to take God to be all and in all. Our churches are full of people who only know God by hearsay. They have heard about Jesus Christ since their childhood, but they have never met Him. They have read of the Holy Spirit, but they have never known His power. We need a God- sent revival, one like those of the past which “have broken out like fire . . . consuming dead and out worn systems, burning sin like a roaring flame, and casting a new light across men’s pathways” (E. L. Douglass). II. Restored Usefulness (w. 7- 10a). God’s rebuke of Job’s friends is significant, for it centers, not in their failure to deal rightly with Job, but their failure properly to represent God. It is a tremendous ly serious matter to attempt to tell others about God, for in doing so we must not in any way misrepre sent Him. To stand before men as religious teachers and leaders and not to know Him so well that we rep resent Him rightly, is to invite His judgment and condemnation. Job, on the other hand, was re stored to a place of honor and use fulness. His friends, who thought they knew so much more than he about God, are told to ask Job to pray for them. He thus was af forded the opportunity of returning good for evil and was again enabled to serve God in serving his fellow men. Salvation is by faith (Eph. 2:8, 9); but being saved, we are re stored to the place of usefulness to God. HI. Returned Prosperity (w. lOb- 13). The abundant blessing of God upon Job is described in oriental terms of money, herds of cattle, and of a large family. These are the tangible evidences of God’s bless ing, and even to us today they speak of a liberal and loving God. God can and does prosper His own obedi ent children even in material things. Such outward mercies, however, only feebly represent the blessings of the soul, the ultimate and eternal joys of the spirit. They point us, it is true, to the assurance that as we yield ourselves in uncondition al obedience to God’s will, we may confidently trust Him with the dark days of sorrow and affliction, as well as the days of sunshine and pros perity. No matter how tangled may seem the threads on this side of the loom, we know that the heavenly Father behind the scenes is weav ing the pattern of beauty which shall one day be revealed as we stand complete in Christ. Death of Saul So Saul died for his transgression which he transmitted against the Lord, even against the word of the Lord, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it.—I Chronicles 10:13. Temptation To resist temptation once is not a sufficient proof of honesty. HCNP?. SEW ^ Ruth Wyeth Spears S O MANY of you have written me letters of appreciation about the new SEWING BOOK 5 that I want to thank you all here at one time. In Book 1 is sketched and described methods of making slip covers, curtains, bedspreads, dressing tables and other things for the house. Next came Book 2 with gifts, novelties and a glossary of embroidery stitches. Then, in Book 3, I began to share with you some of the human interest side of this fascinating job of mine, and to tell you about the adven tures of many clever women who make the things that tney want for their homes—sometimes from almost nothing. There were more of these adventures in Book 4, and there are still more in Book 5. There is nothing that pleases me so much as when you tell me that my sketches are so clear that you can see at a glance how to make things. I am glad that everything needed is in today’s sketch about this remodeled washstand be cause I have used up all my space now; and the frill around the top shelf is five inches deep.
