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?

When stringing beads or pearls
of various sizes place them in or

piece of corrugated paper. It will
then be much easier to slip them

Brooms and sweeping brushes
should be hung up when not in
use. If left standing on the bris

not do their work.

Stuff centers of apricots, pears

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

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.
