[ 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.

IMPROVED J UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY | chool Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for February 9 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education: used by permission. 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.
