INVITE THEM ALL—AND HAVE BAKED POTATOES
(See Recipes Below)
LET’S SERVE POTATOES
Guests are coming for dinner. You
have your meat and vegetables, and
you have planned your dessert. You
have potatoes on hand. But have
you decided how you’re going to pre
pare them?
I’ll wager you haven’t. It's an oft-
repeated story in kitchens from
Washington to Florida, Maine to Cal
ifornia. Because the POTATO is
such an old standby, you perhaps
wait ’til the last minute to decide
its preparation. Then it’s too late
to try “something different.” t
Don’t treat the potato as though
it were the CindereDa of the vegeta
ble kingdom. Re
member, it re-
’ sponds well to
careful treatment.
While it is usual
ly considered to
have a bland
flavor, proper
cooking will bring
out its subtleties.
Although there are only three ba
sic ways of cooking potatoes—bak
ing, boiling or frying them in their
raw form—there are innumerable
new and different things to do with
this vegetable.
I wonder if you have ever tried
frankfurter- or sausage-stuffed pota
toes, potato croquettes, pancake po
tatoes, Idaho Suzettes or potato
doughnuts?
• If not, resolve to use these reci
pes. I guarantee they’ll help you
“get the most out of your potatoes!”

LYNN SAYS:
Baking potatoes is perhaps the
most healthful method of prepar
ing them, because steam escapes
from them and results in a mealy
product. No valuable minerals
are lost, and, if the skin is also
eaten with the contents, all bene
fits of the potato are realized.
If you are not quite ready to
serve your potatoes when they
are ready to come out of the
oven, cover them with a towel so
that moisture will*be absorbed,
and at the same time warmth
will be retained.
Sweet potatoes bake in less
time than white potatoes.
It is important to retain vita
min C in potatoes, as well as in
all vegetables. In order to do
this, store them in a cool place;
peel just before cooking; cook
whole, if possible; have the water
boiling rapidly before plunging
them in; use a small amount of
cooking water; cook only until
tender.

Salt and pepper
Select medium-sized or large po
tatoes; scrub and bake at 459 de
grees F. until
each is soft when
you pick it up and
squeeze with a
cloth. When done,
reAove a piece of
skin from the side
of each potato to
make it boat
shaped, or cut

Scoop out the inside, being careful
not to break the shell. Mash the
pulp thoroughly, or put it through
a ricer. Add butter, salt and milk
and beat well. Pile the mixture
lightly back into the shells. Refill
the shell to the top and make a de

to. Break an egg into each depres

CHRIST PROMISES POWER
/ ■■ ■ —
LESSON TEXT—Acts 1:1-12.
GOLDEN TEXT—But ye shall receive
power, after that the Holy Ghost is come
upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto
me, both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea,
and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part
of the earth.—Acts 1:8. *
Important things bear repetition.
Luke, who wrote both the Gospel
and the Acts, presents the ascension
of Christ, His promise of power, and
His command to witness, at the con
clusion of the Gospel and at the
beginning of the Acts. “The one is
all suffused with evening light; the
other is radiant with the promise of
a new day. The one is the record
of a tender farewell; in the other,
the sense of parting has almost been
absorbed in the forward look to the
new phase of relationship which is
to begin.”—(Alexander Maclaren).
I. The Proof of Christ’s Resurrec
tion (vv. 1-3).
Before telling of “the day in which
he was taken up,” Luke makes it
clear that the ascended Christ, who
had made the promise of power to
His disciples, was the very one who
died for our sins, but who could not
be holden of death or the grave. He
arose, of which there are indeed
“many infallible proofs” (v. 3). At
Easter time we recall the fact that
leading historians and experts in the
field of evidence have declared that
the resurrection is the best estab
lished fact in all history.
The fact that for forty days after
His resurrection Christ was among
His disciples, speaking to them of
the things of the kingdom of God, is
significant and conclusive proof in
itself.
As the indispensable dynamic of
their service as His witnesses, He
now assures them that they will
receive power.
II. The Promise of Christ’s Power
(vv. 4-8).
They were to tarry In Jerusalem
until the power of the Holy Ghost
came upon them. This took place
on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2)
when the Holy Spirit come to abide.
We no longer are called on to tarry
for the Holy Spirit to fall on us, for
the moment we believe. He comes
into our lives in blessed abiding
presence. But we do need to tarry,
to wait for His fullness of power,
before we attempt to minister for
Christ. We need to yield to Him for
His fullness, bringing out emptiness
that He may fill us and then use us.
The disciples had an important
question to ask (v. 6) regarding the
restoration of the kingdom. The re
ply of Jesus turned their attention
from that future matter to their
present obligation to witness for Him
and their need of power for that wit
ness. This does not mean that His
followers are to lack interest in the
Kingdom which Christ will one day
establish, nor that they should fail
to be interested in prophecy and its
fulfillment. It does clearly mean
that we must leave times, seasons
and dates to the Lord and be dili
gently about the business of witness
ing for Him.
How greatly the little band of
disciples needed power in that day
to face a hostile, unbelieving world,
sunken in bondage to Satan, and
bring to it the convicting and con
verting message of the gospel. They
received that power, and in spite of
every hindrance the gospel through
the centuries has made its way to
the hearts of men, and won its vic
tories for God.
We need that power today. The
Holy Spirit is here to give it to us,
as we yield our lives to God. There
are many Spirit-empowered men
and women in the Church today, but
relatively their number is small.
Who is ready to yield to His control
now, and thus swell the host of faith
ful and effective witnesses?
III. The Pledge of Christ’s Return
(vv. 9-12).
We mentioned last week that ser
mons are seldom preached on the
ascension of Christ, although it has
an important place in the Bible.
Even more glaring and disturbing
is the failure of preachers and teach
ers to declare the truth of the sec
ond coming of Christ. The promise
of it is written large on the pages
of the Bible, but some men seem to
ignore it.
How plain and understandable is
the promise in this passage. “This
Jesus”—not some other—“shall so
come”; that is, personally, literal
ly, and visibly. There is no ground
here for spiritualizing, to say, for
example that He comes in death,
or that this was but a metaphorical
expression.
The text is very plain and em
phatic. In agreement, we find,
among others, such texts as Luke 21:
7; John 14:3; Philippians 3:20, 21;
I Thessalonians 1:7-10; I Thessaloni-
ans 4:16; II Timothy 4:8; Hebrews
9:28; Revelation 1:7. Unless we re
ject God’s Word, we must receive
this truth, and should receive it with
joy, for it is the blessed hope of the
Church (Titus 2:13). He is coming
again!

I entered this court today I could
