4 McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, S. C., THURSDAY AUGUST 15 1940 SUMMER SALADS (Recipes Below.) Household Neuis =ail(P 1 Salads, in summer, are as impor tant as swimming or tennis, or golf! Nothing tastes quite so good as a cool, crisp mixture .of fresh greens, or fruits, or vegetables, served with . just the proper dressing. The very word is refreshing—like a drink of cold, sparkling spring water after a long and dusty hike. Very light salads may be served as an appetizer first course, if de sired. Dinner sal ads, too, are light; they may be served as a separate course, or with the main course of the meal. For lunch eon, salads may be somewhat heav ier, because the main luncheon dish is likely to be light. Many times, a luncheon salad is a whole meal in itself, served with bread or crisp rolls, a beverage, and dessert. And there are many times in informal luncheons and dinners, when salads do duty for dessert. What makes a good salad? Plenty of crisp, fresh greens, a blend of fruits or vegetables or fish, a zesty dressing and a dash of color, say the experts. To make salads appe tizing and refreshing, as they should be, everything must be fresh, crisp, and well chilled. Greens are fresh ened in ice water for half an hour, weU drained in. a salad basket or bag, and left in the refrigerator to chill. To prepare head lettuce for salads, / cut out the core or stem with a pointed knife, and let cold water from the faucet run into this opening. The water forces the leaves apart and cleans them. Use other greens besides lettuce for garnishing salads, and in mixed green salads, as well. Watercress, tender inside leaves of raw spinach, endive, escarole and romaine are good for variety. Add cubed, leftover meats to green salad, for a hearty main dish. And for hot days, plan fruit salad plates for lunch or supper. Peeled oranges, sliced and served with fresh, whole berries, with let tuce, watercress or endive for a garnish, make an attractive and re freshing meal. Crab Apple Salads.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of CTiicago. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for August 18 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. GOD’S CARE OF HIS PEOPLE LESSON TEXT—Psalm 23. GOLDEN TEXT—The Lord Is my shep herd; I shall not want.—Psalm 23:1. Confidence, contentment, assur ance, safety, security—all words ex pressing the deep desires of the hu man heart—fittingly characterize the blessed and beautiful Shepherd Psalm which is our lesson next Sun day. Here the soul meets God in per sonal, intimate fellowship—in the promise of provision for every need, deliverance from every danger, the assurance of both present and ul timate blessing. It has become the best known of all psalms and per haps the favorite scripture of most Christians. Familiarity may cause us to miss the blessing of such a scripture pas sage. To help us to make a fresh approach to this Twenty-third Psalm, let us follow the suggestion of Dr. W. E. Barnes and think of it as describing the journey of life. We find that we may go forth * I. In the Care of a Sure Guide (vv. 1, 2). Nothing is more important in trav ersing an unfamiliar land than to have a competent guide. The jour ney of life is a pilgrimage through a land unknown to us, with its many pleasant places, but also its howling wildernesses, its pitfalls and its ene mies in ambush. “The Lord is my shepherd.” If I am in His flock He will guide me, care for me and give me the joy of green pastures and still waters. The expression “maketh me to lie down” (v. 2) is worthy of special comment—that all too often we be come too busy or too important to take the rest we should have, and the Good Shepherd has to “bend the knee” of the sheep and make him lie down, sometimes even by the force of sickness, or of trying cir cumstance. Why do we make it necessary for our Shepherd to thus deal with us? n. With Every Need Provided (w. 3-5). We are a needy people, constant ly dependent on the loving provision of our God. Dr. J. H. Jowett says that man has three enemies: (1) The sin of yesterday, from which he can not get away; (2) the temptation of today, made more powerful by the pressure of the clever and insidious seducer, Satan; and (3) the fear of death which awaits him tomorrow. Good Shepherd, wilt Thou meet these mine enemies for me? “Yes,” comes His answer through the psalmist. For the sin of yesterday there is the restoring of the soul. Every where the power of God is evident, restoring that which has been de stroyed or broken down, healing the wound; but nowhere is it more evi dent or blessed than in His restora tive ministries to the soul. He cleanses from sin, gives peace through His Word, joy through a hymn or a bit of poetry, comfort in the fellowship of a friend. For today—“He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.” The world offers many by-paths, and makes them seem to be the right way, but my heavenly Guide will lead me in the way of righteousness. This He does, not because of any merit in me, but for His own dear name’s sake— for “the praise of the glory of his grace” (Eph. 1:6). That cares for t#ie need of today. But tomorrow, or on some tomor row, I must go the way of all flesh and (unless Jesus comes) I must “walk through the valley of the shadow of death.” Even there I need “fear no evil.” The Good Shepherd is as much with me in the dark and swelling waters of that valley as He was with me “beside the still wa ters.” Little wonder that this psalm has been the comfort of tens of thou sands of believers in Christ as they have passed through that valley. Why will anyone do without this Christ, who is the Good Shepherd (John 10:11)? Every need finds its full satisfac tion: enemies are discomfited, the oil of gladness anoints our heads, and our cups run over as we go on III. To a Destination Certain and Blessed (v. 6). Not all who set out upon a jour ney reach their goal, but the Lord has never lost one of those entrusted to His care (John 17:12). Goodness and mercy through all the days of our lives would lead only to ultimate disappointment if they did not bring us to the Father’s house. In that house there are “many mansions” or abiding places (John 14:2) prepared for us by our Lord. We know we, shall come to that blessed journey’s end with safety, because He will bring us there, to go in and out no more forever. To study such a lesson is to cre ate the desire in one’s heart that all men should know about this Good Shepherd, to be brought into His flock. Reader, do you know Christ as your Saviour and the Shepherd of your soul? If not, will you not come to Him now by faith? s v^' sc e/ V DERFECT to put on and wear right now in flat crepe, silk print or spun rayon, this beauti fully cut shirtwaist fashion will be a cool delight on the hottest days of summer.
