the war right home to Holly
wood. More than 100 pilots of
the company who worked for
% month in Canada are now in
service overseas. James
Cagney, Alan Hale, George
Tobias and Dennis Morgan
now would rather talk about
the Royal Canadian Air force than
about anything else. They have so
many friends in it!
By the time the picture is re
leased, virtually every one of the
Canadian fliers who appear in it
will be overseas.

for granted that she’ll have to

CHRIST OUR SAVIOUR
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 20:25-28; Lukt
19:1-10.
GOLDEN TEXT—For God so loved th#
world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth In him should nol
perish, but have everlasting life.—John 3:16.
“I believe in God, the Father Al
mighty, . . . and in Jesus Christ
His only Son, our Lord ... I be
lieve in the Holy Ghost.” How often
we have solemnly repeated these
words in the Apostles’ Creed, and
how appropriate it is that our pres
ent three month series of lessons on
great Christian teachings should be
gin last Sunday with a study of God,
the Creator and heavenly Father,
and continue today with Christ the
Saviour, and present next Sunday
the Holy Spirit, the Comforter.
These are profound Christian
truths, but at the same time they
are so simple as to be grasped by
the youngest child. Today we have
the great privilege of presenting in
our classes our Saviour, the Lord
Jesus Christ. He was
I. The Self-Denying Servant (Matt.
20:25-28).
Scripture clearly teaches that
God’s standards are not the same
as the world’s standards, and that
His methods of operation are just
the opposite of those of the world.
All too often Christians and churches
imitate the world both in principle
and practice, with disastrous re
sults. Consider
1. The False Greatness of the
World (v. 25). “Rulers”—“great
ness”—“exercise authority”—how
altogether up-to-date these words
sound. They are the big and swell
ing words of the small hearts and
minds which rule after the manner
of this world. They epitomize the
ambitions of the great majority of
mankind, but they are definitely
non-Christian. We see that as we
go on to consider
2. The Humility of True Great
ness (w. 26, 27). Service in the
spirit of humility and self-sacrifice—
this is the standard of Christ. Yes,
and it is His command to His fol
lowers. To be great for Christ one
must become the servant of others.
This teaching appears all through
Scripture (for example, see Luke
4:11; John 13:13-17; I Pet. 5:5, 6).
Twentieth Century-Fox sort of
faced a problem recently; Ginger
Rogers was to make one picture for
the company, and there just wasn’t
a good story for her. And Ginger’s
valuable property nowadays. So—
she’s going to appear in a re-make
of “Chicago,” which probably will
be called “Roxy Hart.” She’s also
slated to start in “Self-Made Cin
derella,” Lubitsch's first one for
Fox.
Too bad the off-stage dialogue of
Myma Loy and William Powell
can’t be used jp “The Shadow of
the Thin Man.” The other day they
made a scene in which Asta, the
famous dog, had to sit on Powell’s
chest. Asta seemed to feel sort of
silly. v Powell retired to his dress
ing room for a few minutes, and
when he returned they tried it
again, and Asta adored sitting on
his chest.
“I changed my necktie for a few
strips of bacon,” Powell explained,
exhibiting a neat bow.
“Do you suppose Asta was Inter
ested in the bacon,” asked Miss
Loy, “or in the ham?”

How often service in the church is
rendered in a spirit of pride, self-
glory, and for the commendation
and reward of men. When that re
ward is not forthcoming or some
real humbling sacrifice i$ required,
the work is not desired or the work
er becomes offended. Here is one
of the roots of trouble in the church.
Let us put it away as we look upon
3. Christ Our Example (v. 28). He
paid the price of our redemption,
going to the death of Calvary for
us. From the highest glory which
He had with the Father (John 17:5),
He graciously stooped to deepest ig
nominy as He became sin for us
(II Cor. 5:21). Throughout both His
life and His death He perfectly rep
resented that self-denying, self-hum
bling service which He expects of
His followers.
H. The Seeking Saviour (Luke
19:1-10). r
There is much that is precious
and beautiful to be said about our
Lord, but perhaps nothing which
brings Him so close to needy hu
manity as the fact that He had
“come to seek and to save that
which was lost” (v. 10). He was
The fourth picture dealing with
the Burma road will be Metro’s
“China Caravan.” Columbia plans
“Burma Road,” Fox plans “Over
the Burma Road,” Universal has
“Burma Convoy” all done. Evident
ly everybody decided at the same
moment that the Burma road was
news.
To make factual, uncolored news
available to the people of Central
and South America, one of the big
radio makers is sponsoring a daily
program of press association news
over local radio stations throughout
Latin America; it’s the first special
news program for general distri
bution there to be sponsored by a
United States company.

There are more ways than one
to make an excellent living and a
solid reputation in radio. Alice
Youngman is doing it via the dram
atized commercial route; she has
assignments on “Are You a Miss
ing Heir?”, “Helen’s Home” and
the Lanny Ross programs.

1. Ever Interested in Sinners (w.
1-7). Jesus was on this occasion
coming up to Jerusalem for the last
time. The cross was ahead. He
was much taken up with His coming
death and greatly straitened in
spirit (see Mark 10:32 and Luke
12:50). He was passing through the
great and wicked city of Jericho,
' yet in the midst of His deep sorrow
1 and out of the vast multitude of that
city He reached out to touch one
sinner.
Zacchaeus was a man despised
for his calling of tax collector, and
hated for his dishonesty. He was
an outcast from his own people and
a stranger to God’s grace, but Jesus
was interested in him. Are we ready
thus to go to seek and save the
lost? Are we better (or busier) than
our Lord?
2. Always Able to Save Sinners
(vv. 8-10). Zacchaeus was a rich
| man, but he was a sinner. It is not
easy for a rich man to be saved,
but it can be done (see Matt. 19:
23-26). Read the preceding verses of
that chapter (w. 16-22) and you
learn of another rich man who was
not saved, the rich young ruler. He
was a far better man than Zac-
rhaeus—honest, upright, honored in
his community. How was it that
the wicked and despised rich man
was saved and the good and respect
ed rich man was lost?
The answer is that the former ad
mitted that he was a sinner and
thus made it possible for Christ to
save him, while the latter loved him
self and his gold more than Christ
and shut the door against His ro
deeming love.
AMERICA’S FAVORITE DESSERT
I
Confess now, how often would you
turn down a tart lemon pie, a deep-
dish apple pie, or
a juicy cranberry
one with the
bright berries
peeking out of the
lattice crust? Not
often, I imagine,
or pie wouldn’t be
our country’s fa
vorite dessert. So here’s to pie, fa
vorite at dessert time or at a bakery
sale, made in big tins or as indi
vidual servings:
* Lemon Angel Pie.
(Makes one 8-inch pie)
4 egg yolks
% cup sugar
Yt cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon butter
2 egg whites, stiffly beaten
Cream egg yolks and sugar to
gether. Add lemon juice and cook
in double boiler until thickened, stir
ring often. Add butter. Remove
from heat and fold in beaten egg
whites. Pour into a baked pie shell.
Top with meringue and brown in
moderate (325 degrees) oven for 15
minutes.
Meringue.
2 egg whites, beaten until frothy
4 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Add sugar gradually to egg whites
and continue beating until egg holds
up in peaks. Fold in lemon juice.
Any pie is as good as its crust,
and if you’ve mastered the art, your
pies will always
be something to
come back for. A
good crust is ten
der, short, flaky,
well flavored and
smart enough to
stand by itself. If
you make a crust
to )>e filled, cool the filling before it
comes in contact with the crust so
you won’t have sqggy pie.
Flaky Pie Crust.
2 cups flour
% cup shortening
3 A teaspoon salt
About % cup ice water
Mix and sift flour with salt. Work
in shortening using pastry blender,
fork, knives, or fingertips, until mix
ture appears crumbled. Moisten with
water until dough just holds togeth
er. Roll out on floured board and
cut to fit pie tins. This makes
enough for a double crust for a 9-
inch pie tin. For a one-crust pie,
use: 1 cup flour, % cup shortening,
% teaspoon salt, and 2\fc to 3 table
spoons water.
Delicious Rhubarb Pie.
IV2 tablespoons quick-cooking
tapioca
IVs cups sugar
Yt teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
1 tablespoon melted butter
4 cups cut rhubarb
1 pie crust
Combine ingredients and let stand
about 15 minutes. Line a 9-inch pie
plate with pastry rolled one-eighth
inch thick, allowing pastry to extend
1 inch beyond edge. Fold edge back
to form standing rim. Fill with rhu
barb mixture. Moisten edge of pas
try with cold water; arrange lattice
LYNN SAYS:
To keep your pie crust short,
have the shortening and water ice
cold. If possible, have your bowl
cold, too, and when handling the
crust, use your fingers as little as
you can, to keep the heat from
the hands from getting into the
dough.
Avoid rolling extra flour into
the dough for this makes tough
pastry. Fold the pastry over sev
eral times while rolling to help
make flaky pastry. Never stretch
the pastry into the pan. Make it
large enough before fitting into
pan.
Pie crust should be baked
quickly on the lower shelf of the
oven to prevent sogginess. The
intense heat of the oven expands
the cold liquid in pastry into
steam, making the crust rise in
flaky layers.

Spicy Cranberry Pie.
(Makes one 9-inch pie)
1 recipe pie crust
4 cups cranberries
2Y2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice *
Grated rind of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon cinnamon
% teaspoon ground cloves
1% tablespoons cornstarch
Y2 cup water
Wash and pick over berries. Bring
to a boil with the water, add sugar,
boil gently, being careful not to
break berries. Boil 5 minutes, re
move from fire, cool, and add lemon
juice, rind, and spices. Fill un
baked pie crust, cover top with
strips, and bake 30 minutes in a hot
(400 degrees) oven.
There are pies in which you bake
just the crust, pies in which you
bake crust and filling, and other
pies which you don’t bake at all. In
this latter class are those pies whose
crust is placed in the icebox to cool,
then filled with filling and cooled un
til set. Here’s a pie with crust, rich
and crumbly, a filling that really
melts in your mouth:
Coconut Custard Pie.
(Makes one 9-inch pie)
2 egg yolks
1Y2 cups milk
Y2 cup sugar
Y\ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons gelatin
% cup cold water
Soak gelatin in cold water. Cook
egg yolks, milk and sugar in double
boiler until thick and pour over gel
atin. Cool, add vanilla, and pour
over a crust made of:
3 cups oven-popped rice cereal,
rolled fine
% cup butter melted
Ye cup sugar
Combine cereal crumbs, sugar and
butter and press evenly around the
sides and bottom of a pie pan. Chill
before filling. Pile meringue on top
of filling. Use 2 egg whites stiffly
beaten, to which add Ys cup sugar
slowly, and Ye cup of coconut. Brown
lightly in broiler.
In making a successful meringue,
beat the egg whites until stiff and
glossy, then blend in sugar com
pletely to prevent beads of syrup
from forming on top of the me
ringue. Leave the pie on the top of
the oven after it is baked. Cold air
striking the meringue will cause it
to fall.

jacket is long sleeved, waist

the youthful, wide-skirted jumper.
The latter is cut with a square
neckline, low enough in front and
in back to allow a great part of

be clearly visible. The jacket
