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.

Tasty Cases
Green peppers, cut in halves and
simmered for 10 minutes, make
tasty cases for creamed or scalloped
fish. After the peppers have been
filled put them in the oven for five
minutes or so to brown the tops.
Clothes Space
For additional clothes space in the
closet fasten a bird-cage hook to the
top of the closet door. This will hold
six or eight hangers and will keep
long dresses up from the floor.

By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D.
Dean of The Moody Bible Institute
of CTiicago.
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
Lesson for August 18

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?
