ROBERT H HARPER t f The Authority of Jesus. Lesson for January 12: John 2: 1-16. Memory Selection: John 2:23. Two incidents given in the lesson text show the authority of Jesus- over the things of nature and over , men. Both incidents were, as were others of his miracles. Id demonstra tion of the power of God working through Jesus. The reader may also think of the feeding of the five thou sand, calming the waves of Galilee, ond the many works of healing. Attending the wedding feast, . jesus showed his interest in the so- •_ >da2 life about him, and leads us to ‘ j infer that the true religion that cen- t Iters in him has an abundant place [ter Joy and happiness. Certainly Jesus was not an ascetic, and he > •did not call upon us to forsake the j world but to Uve worthily in it: i The great temple on Mount | Moriah had been made the seme of ) graft and corruption. Concessions | were found in the sacred enclosure ) and the wrangling of purchase and , the jtngiing of money being changed \ Into the temple shekels made a | of noise where only the voice l of prayer should have been heard., The presence of animals to be sold lor the several sacrifices polluted the * holy place. Jesus attacked this > stronghold of medal privilege and > swept the temple dean. Consider j 91% pure bravery and its marvelous upon those who had pro- ; God's house. i The only limitation to the Lord’s iority is that set by himself in * giving man a will and the power of choice. “Our wills are ours, to make them Thine." The authority of the right. Indeed of high heaven itself, should have free way in our lives and command our glad obedience. 1 j January Farming Hints For greater success in farming in 1947 County Farm Agent G.

Write for appoint ment. W. E. SHEPPARD R. 2, McCormick, S. C. By MART S. DAGUE ^ ^ AutKoc mi Sbtor Mary’* Kitcfc—■ I F you want to make aome home made soap It’S really very easy. Just invest in a can of lye and fol low the directions on the label. There’s no need to save wood ashes and leach them few i your lye the way our grandmothers did—buy the lye and there you are - all ready to begin. Nevertheless there are tricks to soap making. It’s a good idea to watch the temperature of the lye and the grease and mix them when both are lukewarm. The fat should be clear and free from all “settlings." If the fat is on the rancid side ti should be well boiled and skimmed. Some soap- makers thing they get better soap if they mix hard and soft fats, heated and strained through sev eral thicknesses of cheesecloth, no matter what kind of fat it is, will make good laundry and dish-washing soap. No two people use the same recipe for soap making. Some women even add oil of lavender and have a toilet soap. Others add coal oil—kerosene —some add ammonia and others add borax. The following recipe is tried and true and the soap makes a splendid suds. Hard Laundry Soap One can lye, 5 pounds clear, clean grease, 5 cups water, 4 tablespoons borax, % cup ammonia. Pour lye into an enameled kettle containing the water and stir with a long handled wooden spoon until the lye Is dissolved. As a precaution against a bum keep a cup of diluted vinegar near by in case a drop or two of the solution spatters on you. The lye will become quite hot so alt low it to cool Melt grease and cool to lukewarm. Dissolve borax in ammonia fid add gradually to grease, stirring constantly until it Is thoroughly mixed. Add to lye, stirring constantly and continue to stir for around ten minutes. When the mixture thickens pour into molds and cut in bars before it becomes hard. Shoe boxes make good molds but of course any stiff cardboard box or small wooden box can be used. After the soap is cut in bars let stand until hard. Then break apart and let stand a few days to ripen. Again recipes differ because some advise letting the soap age for six weeks before using. HOLLYWOOD THEATRE McCormick, S.
