(See Recipes Below) ICE CREAM ’N CAKE Shining in their starched dresses, the girls are ready “to recite their pieces,’’ the boys, slicked and combed, are watching them shyly, and everyone’s waiting for re freshment time to come. Of course, it’s an ice cream social, that typically American festi val to which homemakers bring their most delectable cakes and choicest ice cream. There, too, you’ll find lem onade, “made in the shade by the old maid.” There was a time when an ice cream social, though as pleasant an affair as you’d find on the summer calendar, carried with it a great deal of careful preparation. Ice cream had to be kept in heavy con tainers which in turn were wrapped in blankets, and if the speeches and program lasted too long it was apt to be more melted than icy when you were finally served. But no longer do you have such a risk. The ice cream can be stored in your refrigerator and it will be kept real ly hard. Making ice cream with the freez er method is fun, and usually the whole family gets together to do some of the cranking. The freezer has a wooden or metal bucket hold ing the ice and salt and a non- rusting metal container with a close ly fitting cover for holding the mix ture to be frozen. The mixture is stirred by a paddle attached .to the crank which is operated by hand, and sometimes by a small electric motor. Use three parts of ice to one part of salt. Turn the crank slowly at first for about five minutes or until the mixture stiffens, then as quickly as possible until it is difficult to turn. This takes about six .minutes. Add more ice and salt if necessary. Pour off salt water, push down ice and salt being careful to get nose in the can of ice cream. Wipe top of can, uncover, take out the paddle, and beat the frozen mixture with a wooden spoon. Cover can with wax paper, and pack again. Let stand several hours to ripen. If you would be famous for your ice creams and have them spoken of well at the social, follow direc tions to get the desirable smooth, creamy triumphs. Ice cream free from crystals and splinters will get first prize every time. *VaniIla Ice Cream. (Makes 1% quarts) 1% cups sweetened condensed milk (15-oz. can) 2 cups thin cream 1 cup cold water 1 tablespoon vanilla Blend thoroughly the sweetened condensed milk, thin cream, cold LYNN SAYS: Did you know that: Ice creams should stand sev eral hours to blend or ripen the many flavors combined in them? Each flavor will stand out sepa rately if the mixture is not prop erly ripened. , Texture is affected by the method of freezing? Ice cream will be coarse and rough if frozen too quickly, whereas slower freezing improves texture. Be fore putting the cream in the freezer it should be properly whipped or it will be icy. Richer mixtures give smoother textured ice creams? The amount of fat in the cream also affects the flavor. Richer ice creams have full bodied flavor. Ice cream expands? If the ice cream is well m£de, it expands to at least one-third more than its original size, and that this has an important bearing on fla vor. If frozen too rapidly, ice cream is prevented from increas ing size. Flavors should be lightly sug gested, not pronounced? Amount and quality of extracts used are very apparent in the finished product. THIS WEEK’S MENU Ice Cream Social •Vanilla and Chocolate Ice Cream •Walnut Torte Lemonade •Recipe given. water and vanilla. Freeze in one- quart freezer. Remove dasher. Pack in ice and salt for one hour or more after freezing. For Banana Ice Cream, use 'the above recipe, except to substitute 1 teaspoon of lemon extract in place of vanilla. Mash three bananas to a smooth pulp with a silver fork and add to ice cream after removing dasher. Coffee Ice Cream: Proceed as for Vanilla Ice Cream, using 1 cup of cold black coffee in place of 1 cup of water and Vz teaspoon vanilla in place of 1 tablespoon of vanilla. Maple Nut Ice Cream: One of the most requested flavors, made just like the vanilla except mapeline fla voring is substituted for vanilla, and % cup of chopped nuts is added just after removing the dasher. If you like chocolate flavoring, here’s a recipe I’m sure will please you. Rich and creamy, full of sat isfying chocolate flavoring, it’s one kind of ice cream of which there can never be too much made. •Chocolate Ice Cream. 4 eggs separated % cup sugar 1 cup milk 1 teaspoon cornstarch 1 pint cream, whipped \Vz ounces chocolate Mix cornstarch and sugar. Stir into well beaten yolks. Mix and blend with milk, heat in double boil er, and cook until thick. Add choco late and cook till blended. Cool, fold in beaten egg whites and whipped cream. Freeze. Among the pleasant surprises in appearance and in flavor among ice creams is this one called Tutti-Frut ti. If you’re longing for a change from familiar fa vorites this one leaves nothing to ' ” be desired. To make it really gala for the youngsters, take a scoop of it, pop two raisins in for the eyes, a currant for the nose and a cherry for the mouth. It’s a sim ple gesture but one which they’ll appreciate for all it’s worth.

It provides the answer to man’s age-old question, “What must I do to be saved?” (Acts 16:30). “This was a question with which Paul had himself grappled, and for years he had sought salvation in the traditional Jewish way. Then one day he met Christ and he under went a spiritual transformation through faith in Him, apart from the works of the law. Because of that experience, and because of the divine revelations made to him, he was able to show others how to be saved and how to live a life of vic tory. Among the writers of the New Testament it is Paul who most clearly sets forth the doctrine of justification by faith, a doctrine which has brought comfort of soul to multitudes, and the conscious ness of sins forgiven.” (Olmstead). I. How Can God Be Just and Justify Sinners? (Rom. 3:21-31). The portion of Romans just pre ceding our lesson is devoted to a devastating treatment of man’s sin fulness, bringing him face to face with the question, “What can I do about it?” The answer has a hope less ring to it. 1. Man has no righteousness of his own, and cannot by any of his own works save himself. “He has tried many ways, in every age, but no human being, or groups of men or women, have ever devised any scheme, have ever conceived of any ritual, have ever established any re ligion by their own efforts, through which peace with God has been found and a sinner has been en abled to stand before a holy God without condemnation. Man being helpless, God now intervenes” (Wil bur M. Smith). 2. ’ Christ paid the penalty for man’s sin by His own blood. How clearly verse 25 declares the sacri ficial death of Christ to provide a covering of blood (the real meaning of “propitiation”) which will enable a just God to forgive the sinner that believes in Christ (v. 22). Why not receive it in all its grace and power, not trying to explain it away or to evade its requirements? Why at tempt to provide some other means of salvation when we know that “without the shedding of blood is no remission” of sin (Heb. 9:22)? 3. Man receives salvation by grace through faith, apart from works. Man can only be “justified freely by his grace” (v. 24). It is for “them that believe” (v. 22), it is “through faith” (w. 25, 26) and, note with care, “man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law” (v. 28). Thus God establishes the law (v. 31) and yet becomes the righteous justifier of a repentant be lieving sinner. II. What Happens When a Man Is Justified? (Rom. 5:1, 2). These verses sound like the uplift ing music of a mighty organ, with the celestial choirs joining in to sing. “Therefore being justified by faith, we have” — What? Oh many pre cious possessions, three of which are here mentioned. 1. “Peace With God.” “Through our Lord Jesus Christ” the barrier of sin with all its mali cious enmity has been broken down and the believer is at peace with God. What could be more wonder ful than thus to be really “in tune with the Infinite”? That is some thing, by the way, which can only be true of the believer, one who has both peace with God and the peace of God flooding his soul. Every sin ner who covets that experience may have it—now—by faith in Christ. 2. Standing in Grace. “To stand in grace is to occupy the position wherein love is able to carry out its desires. To stand in grace is to come into such relation ship with the Lord that He may do that thing that is in His heart, the thing which His love prompts. To stand in favor is to be unafraid. It is to be able to pass into the presence of One of whom we are unafraid, and | know that there will be welcome. It ! is to know that to come into the pres ence of this One is to receive, not necessarily a gift, but love, and of Himself, in a communion which is unbroken and perfect” (G. Campbell Morgan). 3. Rejoicing in Hope. The world is sorrowful for it has lost hope, but the believer rejoices “in hope of the glory of God” (v. 2). The Christian has the forward look. His future is as bright as the promises of God. He knows that he will one day see the glory of God revealed in all His holiness, power, love and grace. Even now the be liever has that hope in his heart, and lives a rejoicing life (or should do sol). It’s a great thing to be saved! PA TTEPNS SEWING CIRCLE TT’S the new frock young Ameri- A ca loves.
