NOTES OF A NEWSPAPER MAN:
This is the tale of a Hollywood
big-shot, whose relatives and whose
wife’s parasites descended in droves
when the gold started to pour in
. . . Lucille Johnson, the thrush,
who tells it, says they stayed and
stayed and stayed and stayed and
stayed . . . One day, however, one
kinsman, who had been living off
the pair for seven years, up and
died, and they gave him a fancy
funeral . . . Returning from the
cemetery, the wife tried to console
her groom, who was very depressed
. . . “After all, honey,” she cooed,
“your uncle was a pretty old man”
. . . “My uncle?” he screamed, “I
thought he was your uncle!”
Quentin Reynolds, who recently
returned from the London bombings
and blitzes, was speeding to a re
hearsal for his engagement at the
Strand theater. A cop stopped him.
. . . “Where you going?” he asked,
“to a fire?”
“Nope,” said Quent, “I’ve just re
turned from one.”
Gold Acquaintance Dep’t: Thirty-
three years ago Billy Evans of the
song and dance team of Evans and
White, got Madeline Ruffolo her first
stage job dancing in a vaudeville
unit at the request of her father, a
vet trouper ... Evans it was who
held her hand (she was 13 at the
time and wore long dresses to fool
the Gerry society) before she made
her first entrance.
And Evans it is, who greets her
each evening at the Broadhurst
theater, where he is backstage door
man for Ed Wynn’s hit (“Boys and
Girls Together”)—and where little
Madeline Ruffolo is—wardrobe mis
tress.

Here is an example of the Nazi
method to frighten Americans. . . .
A Chicago paper the other day car
ried this ad in its amusement ad
columns: “Little German Theatre-
Exclusive First Showing of ‘Blitz
krieg Im Westen’—Time Magazine
says Americans who see this film
will get an inkling of what sort of
national war effort by the United
States would be necessary to face
the German army or to help Britain
to do so.” '
The Dally Worker’s review on that
show is almost as hilarious as the
hit . . . The Communist organ’s re
viewer reported: “Theodore Roose
velt’s pomposity always needed a bit
of deflating, and this play does the
trick.”
The dope. He refers to John Al
exander, one of the dim-witted
members of the family in the play,
who isn’t T. R. He just thinks he is!

of her genius . . . “We knew,” he
said, “she had the makings of a

she always walked out when her
older sister started doing recita

The time may come when we will
get all our vitamins in little pellets,
but I doubt it—
not when eating
vegetables is as
much fun as it is.
There would be a
big gap in our
meals if such
things as tender
little green beans
■ or whole carrots
^ ' rolled in butter,
disappeared from the dinner table.
Success in cooking vegetables de
pends on such small things—the
amount of water in the pan, whether
the cover is on or off, whether the
vegetables are removed from the
heat when they are just tender or
allowed to continue cooking until
they become slightly mushy.
Remember, it’s “covers off,” for
all green-colored vegetables. Then
the acids which are given off during
cooking are not held in the pan
where they turn the brilliant green
color to a dull olive. To keep the
vitamins in the vegetables instead
of losing them in the cooking water
use just as little liquid as possible.
For mild-flavored vegetables an
inch of water in the bottom of the
pan to keep the pieces from burn
ing is ample. Vegetables like spin
ach, which contain a great deal of
water, should be cooked in the mois
ture which clings to the leaves after
washing.
And if you value your vitamins,
never, never discard the liquid from
canned vegetables. Place it in a
saucepan, heat until the liquor evap
orates to about one-half, then add
the vegetable and heat to serving
temperature.

THE CHRISTIAN’S ATTITUDE
TOWARD POSSESSIONS
LESSON TEXT—Luke 16:10-15. 19-23.
GOLDEN TEXT—Ye cannot serve God
and mammon.—Luke 16:13.
“In the service” is an expression
much used today. Every communi
ty has young men in the service of
their country. But they are not the
only “service men,” for the fact is
that every man and woman serves
under some authority. Our lesson
today reminds us that our attitude
toward our possessions determines
both character and destiny. We de
cide whether they shall rule us or
we shall rule them.
I. Who Is Your Master—God or
Gold? You Decide! (w. 10-15).
The decision here is of the “either
—or” variety. “Ye cannot serve
God and mammon” (which means
“riches”).
Money itself is neither good nor
bad. It is the use to which it is
put that determines whether it is to
bless or to destroy. Rightly gained
and rightly used, money is an honor
to the man who has it, and will,
through him, become a means of
blessing. On the other hand, money
which controls a man will blast his
own soul and those of others round
him.
Who decides which it shall be?
You—and you alone. Here we come
to the central truth of the matter.
“He that is faithful in that which is
least is faithful also in much” (v.
10). We generally read that as
though it said, “He that is now faith
ful in a little will later have an op
portunity to be faithful in much.”
That may be true, but what Jesus
said here was that he “is faithful
in much.”
The point is that the man who is
faithful in the much shows that life
attitude by being faithful in the lit
tle. That is, only the man who is
right in the great matter of his re
lationship with God will be the ruler
over his possessions for the glory of
God and the good of his fellow man.
Someone may say, “I don’t be
lieve that.” Well, you are in bad
company (see w. 14, 15). The Phar
isees, who loved money, who were
self-righteous, and whose attitude
was an abomination in the sight of
God, derided the words of Jesus.
If you don’t like that kind of com
panions, I invite you to come over
on God’s side.
II. Where Will Yon Spend Eter
nity? Your Life Decides (w. 19-23).
Our life beyond the grave is de
termined by our life on this side of
death. Yes, we know that eternal
life is a gift of God received by
faith in Christ as Saviour, quite
apart from our own works or our
merit. But let us not forget that
this means far more than uttering
a few words of profession or going
through a formula.
The man who really turns to
Christ in saving faith becomes a
new creature; he is born again (I
Pet. 1:23). That means that he
walks “in newness of life” (Rom.
6:4). And thus his life in this world
determines both by decision for
Christ and daily living for Him that
he will, like Lazarus, be received
into eternal blessedness.
Sad to say, the opposite is also
true. Living as the rich man did,
for self, will bring judgment in the
world to come. There is no indica
tion that he was especially wicked,
but only that he loved his money,
revelled in the flamboyant display
of his wealth (v. 19), and had no
thought for others (v. 21). Here
again, the point is that these out
ward deeds were the expression of
a heart attitude against God.
| Death came to both of these men.
It will come to all of us, unless the
Lord returns to take us to Himself.
It is not a pleasant matter to think
of death, but only the unintelligent
will fail to recognize the coming
of that day. When it comes, it may
be too late to make any real life
decisions. Now is the acceptable
time. Today is the day of salvation.
The verses immediately following
our lesson in chapter 16 indicate
that the decision of men concerning
their relationship to God is not de
pendent on the miraculous, but on
moral and spiritual truth. The man
who says he would believe if he
could only see God perform a mira
cle is only evading the issue. Verse
31 says that the man who rejects
God’s Word does so because he
wants to, not because he needs to
be convinced by a miracle.
We Sleep to Wake
One who never turned his back, but
marched breast forward,
Never doubted clouds would break;
Never dreamed, though right were
worsted, wrong would tri
umph;
Held we fall to rise, are baffled to
fight better.
Sleep to wake.
—Robert Browning.
