Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. .. , (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) WITCHES’ NIGHT OUT Spooks and fun while the goblins, black cats and ghosts make merry— isn’t that an in spiration to have one grand, merry party before the winter sets in? Come, let’s plan stew and brew and set the witches’ cauldron boiling and, bub bling! * You’ll need hearty sandwiches, plentiful and hot since the weath er’s slightly nipped with frost. Of course you’ll have cider and dough nuts because they’re wedded togeth er and traditional. To top it off, have a witches’ cake, a chocolaty, honest - to - goodness devil’s food, moist and crumbly, and perhaps one of those pumpkin shaped molds of ice cream, or at least orange ice, to carry out October’s orange and black color scheme. The party starts as soon as the invitations are sent out. These can be pumpkin, black cat or cauldron shaped, made double with the invi tation written on the inside. Send them early so your guests won’t make other plans. The more, the merrier. Twirl some streamers of orange and black crepe paper around the room, bring out the frayed straw hats, checked shirts, and grand mother’s costumes from that trunk in the attic. All set? Here we go: *Sandwiches. These can be made on the buffet or at the table if you have a sand wich toaster. If made in the kitchen use the broiler. Have assorted bread, butter, place cheese on first layer, then another slice of buttered bread, then a slice of ham, and top with a slice of bread. Toast, cut in three, and fasten with toothpicks. To bewitch your family and guests completely serve them a cake with that agreeable melt - in - your - mouth quality. Measure the in gredients careful ly so you’ll attain that feathery lightness so es sential to a good cake. After the icing is spread on the cake, make decorations with melted chocolate. *Witches’ Cake. (Devil’s Food) 2 cups sifted cake flour 2 teaspoons double acting baking powder Vz teaspoon soda V« teaspoon salt Vz cup butter or shortening 1 cup sugar 2 egg yolks, well beaten 3 squares unsweetened chocolate, melted IVi cups milk 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 egg whites, stiffly beaten Sift flour once, measure, add bak ing powder, salt and soda. Sift to gether three times. Cream butter thoroughly, add sugar, and cream LYNN SAYS: A Halloween party can be a success without the least fuss. First of all, decorations and ta ble settings don’t have to be letter perfect, for you can have the most fun in the midst of the basement or barn decorated with sheaves of cornstalk, pumpkin faces, rakes, hoes and goblins made of sheets. For your table use a large piece of burlap or cotton sacks sewed together and dyed scarlet or gold. A centerpiece of pump kin with candles inside the hol low or fruit and burnished au tumn leaves will bring cheers. Write fortunes and place them in apples or nuts. Play pin the tail on the cat. Bob for apples. Have target practice with bean shooters. Dance the Virginia Reel and other square dances if your floor can stand it—all amid plenty of black and orange crepe paper. Halloween’s the time for all this noisy fun.

CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY RE GARDING BEVERAGE ALCOHOL LESSON TEXT—Deuteronomy 5:32, 33; 11:26-28; Isaiah 28:1-6; Habakkuk 2:li. GOLDEN TEXT—Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.—Proverbs 14:34. Legal approval of the sale of alco holic beverages has largely taken the matter out of the hands of the home and the church and has made liquor a civic problem. That, of course, does not provide us with a convenient excuse for evading our personal responsibility, for the na tion is made up of you and me, of your home and mine, of your church and mine. We must share the na tion’s responsibility gladly and ac tively if we are to be worthy of our citizenship. Especially is that true of the Christian, for he sees the spiritual and moral implications of the matter, and he also knows what to do about it. I. “Righteousness Exalteth a Na tion; but Sin Is a Reproach to Any People” (Deut. 5:32-33; 11:26-28). That may sound a bit old-fashioned and it may appear that men have abrogated that principle, but if we wait a bit we shall see that it still works. 1. Righteousness Brings Blessing (Deut. 5:32, 33; 11:26, 27). In this callous and indifferent generation we need to repeat with emphasis the fact that there is laid down in the very constitution of the universe a moral distinction between right and wrong. Right is always right and wrong is always wrong. The book of Deuteronomy piesents the fundamental laws of God. In this fifth chapter there is a review of many of these laws and a practi cal appeal for obedience. It is point ed out that the way of liberty in the walk of life is to turn neither to the extreme of legal bondage nor to the opposite extreme of human license, but to “walk in all the ways which the Lord your God hath commanded you.” Walking in His ways brings all the blessings of Deuteronomy 5:33, a promise which is repeated in 11:27. 2. Unrighteousness Brings Judg ment (Deut. 11:28). Turning aside from God’s ways must bring upon man His curse. It is no light mat ter to be under God’s disapproval. We who know how much the approv al or disapproval of frail human be ings around us may mean, should consider what it means in the life of a man (or of a nation) to have the eternal, omnipresent and omnipo tent God against him. Then what about a people which countenances the manufacture and the sale of intoxicants, which they well know bring about wickedness and vice which can only call for the judgment of God. Many believe that the great war in which the world is embroiled is simply God’s judgment upon the nations (including England and America) because they have turned aside from His holy ways. That means that the most effective way to stop the conflict is national penitence and prayer. Why not be lieve and practice II Chronicles 7:14? II. Civic Greatness Cannot Be Built on Sin and Oppression (Isa. 28:1-6; Hab. 2:12). Yes, that sounds old-fashioned too! The theory of today seems to be that the road to greatness is by way of disregard of God’s laws, and by the application of the mailed fist of cruel conquest. But let us remem ber that others have tried the same violation of God’s law, and let us recall what happened to them. Did you ever hear of Napoleon?—of Al exander the Great?—of the “glory that was Greece”?—and the world conquering power of ancient Rome? Modern military leaders could well afford to spend less time on their books of strategy and their war maps and more time reading the Bi ble and the pages of history. 1. Drunkenness and National De cay Go Together (Isa. 28:1-6). The leaders of Israel (Ephraim) lingered long over their wine bowls as they spoke with pride of their nation, and especially of Samaria, its crown. It was a city beautifully situated on a hillside surrounded by a fertile terraced hillside. Does not that all have a vaguely familiar sound? A great nation of our day which now lies in bondaga to its neighbor dictator not long ago spoke with pride of its attainments and its security, while (according to the testimony of its own leaders) the use of intoxicants went on apace, even in the army. 2. Permanent Power Cannot Be Built on Oppression (Hab. 2:12). Here again history reveals the cor rectness of Scripture. Many a na tion has sought to find its “place in the sun” by building with the blood of its vanquished enemies. It has never worked, and it will fail now just as it has in the past. What about the city, state, or na tion that attempts to promote its own growth out of the taxes on liq uor and its sale? MILLION!

It will then be much easier to slip them onto the needle. • • * Brooms and sweeping brushes should be hung up when not in use. If left standing on the bris tles, the bristles get bent and will not do their work. • • • Stuff centers of apricots, pears or peaches, with cubes of mint or currant jelly. Brush with melted butter and broil five minutes. Serve with meat, fish or fowl. * • • Pour a cup of cold water over cooked cereal before leaving it for the night. This prevents a hard crust forming on cereal. Pour off water in the morning and reheat cereal. As might he expected since Camel cigarettes are America’s favorite, the induction into service of thousands of selectees and vol unteers has only emphasized the service man’s preference for Cam els. Actual sales records from serv ice stores show Camel is the fa vorite with men in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. Prince Albert is another big fa vorite with men in camp or on ships. Since service men have in dicated in all surveys to date that tobacco ranks first in the gift line up with them, it is natural that local tobacco dealers are featur ing cartons of Camels and pound tins of Prince Albert as ideal gifts for the men in the service from the folks back home.—Adv.
