i V \ A I McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, S. C„ THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1940 ' AFTER THE FOOTBALL GAME See Recipes Below. If you are entertaining the crowd after the game, you’ll find substan tial refreshments in favor; for the same crisp air that puts football players on their toes breeds keen appetites. t It’s good social strategy to ar range everything buffet style and let the guests help themselves. You’ll Irant a table that is festive, easy to handle, and yet casual. You may even want to set up card tables in the living room to make your guests comfortable after they have helped themselves from the buffet. Natural colored linen, or rough homespun cloth will make a smart background for your serving table. Candles are often used very effec tively, when serving buffet style, for they add both atmosphere and light. If you double as hostess and chief cook, you’ll enjoy the game twice as much if you plan a menu that can be prepared beforehand. Sandwich makings and a hot steaming bever age are a wise choice. Then wind up the feast with ice cream and chocolate cake. Frankfurter Sandwich. Boil or steam ers until tender and juicy.

LUNDQUIST. D. D. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for November 10 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. THE GOLDEN RULE LESSON TEXT—Luke 6:27-38. GOLDEN TEXT—As ye would that men should do unto you, do ye also to them likewise.—Luke 6:31. Hiding in a dark cellar will not stop the sun from shining; it will only deprive us of its warmth and life-giving power. Likewise the fail ure of mankind to receive and prac tice the great principles of Christian faith does not alter nor weaken them, even though it does deprive humanity of their blessing. It may seem foolish to some to ob serve an Armistice Sunday in the midst of a world at war, to talk about the golden rule in a selfish world where men hate one another, but the fact is that now is the time to really proclaim the solution of God for man’s problems. Then too, let us remember that the failure of mankind as a whole to receive the truth of God does not hinder us from receiving it as individuals. Our re lationship to God is an Individual matter, even though we also belong to a race or nation. Our lesson pre sents I. A Great Christian Principle (vv. 27-31). The magnificent breadth of this principle of Christian considera tion has often been lost sight of in argument over the detailed inter pretation of verses 29 and 30. Sure ly there is not in mind here any casting to the winds of an intelligent appraisal of the needs of those to whom we give; nor is there any thought of a self-glorifying turning of another cheek in physical combat. It does not teach that our nation may not defend itself against those who attack us. At the same time we must note that it means much more than most of us are willing to read into its words. What does it mean? It means that in the spirit of Christian love we will give of ourselves and our sub stance in “large handed but thought ful charity.” It means love for our enemies—no small withholding even from'unreasonable people. It means doing unto others what we would have them do unto us. It “re quires that we should sell to others as we desire that others sell to us . . . that we buy of others as we desire others to buy of us . . . that we talk about others behind their backs as we desire that others should talk about us . . . Are we doing it?” (Dr. John W. Bradbury). The Golden Rule is not the Gospel. No one is saved by living according to it; in fact, that is quite impos sible apart from faith in Christ. II. Its Divine Foundation (vv. 32- 35). The so-called golden rules of men lack the divine element of grace and are all in the negative. Confucius said, “Do not do to others what you would not want them to do to you.” Others spoke similarly, but Jesus, building on the divine love which does good to even the evil and the unthankful (v. 35), gives a positive admonition of gracious consideration of others. We are the children of the Most High God (v. 35) and are to live in accordance with His standards and, what is of equal importance, by His grace and strength. Even Christians are prone to live as their neighbors live (vv. 32-34) until they see how much better God’s way is, and realize that He gives enabling grace for a daily walk in that better way. HI. Its Practice and Reward (w. 36-38). Jesus has already admonished His followers to love and serve both friend and foe. The manner in which that is to be put into practice is further developed by urging them to be merciful, not setting them selves up to judge the conduct of others, but rather giving liberally to them in a spirit of love. This does not forbid judging on the part of those whose official duty it is to judge, nor does it set aside the exer cise of sound judgment (Isa. 56:1 and I John 4:1), but it does forbid unauthorized and unkind judgment. “But will all this pay?” asks Dr. Bradbury (in “The Gist of the Les son”) and answers: “Indeed it will . . . The measure that we use in measuring out to others is the very measure God will use in measuring in to us. The reason many of us get so small a blessing from God is that we use such a small measure in our beneficences and blessings to others” (see Phil. 4:19, noting vv. 15- 19; II Cor. 9:8, noting vv. 6, 7; and I John 3:22, noting vv. 16-21). “One of the most fundamental conditions of prevailing prayer is generosity in giving. A stingy man cannot be a mighty man of prayer (Prov. 21: 13).” Read these verses with care, and they will bring a real blessing to your life. Giving and Receiving Give, and it shall be given unto you good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be meas ured to you again.—Luke 6:38. Ask Me Another 0 A General Quiz The Questions IATTERN [Vj % AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA^Au PA RIM ENT 1.
