(Consolidated Features—WNU Service.)
■VTEW YORK.—On the bestowal
end of the Maria Moors Cabot
Latin-American Journalism award,
recently presented, is the 80-year-
. old Dr. God-
Dr. Cabot Inject a f re y Lowell
Hi* Bankroll and Cabot of
Self into Progrea* Boston, also
a generous
contributor to democratic enter
prise. For many years, he has been
a steady ground-gainer against the
disturbers and trouble-makers, not
ii political theory, but in his activi
ties in the field of science and the
humanities. He not only bankrolls
progress, but helps it over the hur
dle by his own resourcefulness and
inventiveness — the true Yankee
genius here.
South America ought to be
particularly interested in Dr.
Cabot’s now successful and
working scheme to bottle sun
shine and keep it in the cellar,
like jelly or preserves. His 1937
grant of $616,773 to Harvard uni
versity was a great help in
storing solar energy and today,
in Florida and other southern
states, household hot-water rigs,
fuelled by trapped sunshine are
almost as common as oil burn
ers up north.
The next year, Dr. Cabot gave a
similar amount to the Massachu
setts Institute of Technology, for the
same purpose. His many contribu
tions to the useful arts of peace,
including his enthusiastic co-opera
tion with aviation, may well be put
down as an antidote to war. He
learned to fly a seaplane in his late
years and invented a system by
which a plane can pick up fuel in
flight.
He attended M.I.T. two years,
finished at Harvard in 1882 and,
after laying the foundation of
his fortune manufacturing lamp
black in Worthington, Pa.,
branched out in gases and car
bides. He has always insisted
that democracy, to survive,
must plow a lot of its gains
back into the business—which he
steadily does. His Latin-Ameri-
ean journalism awards are in
honor of his late wife.
♦
IN 1913, Carlos Davila covered
murders and fires for El Mercurio
of Santiago de Chile. He was a
good reporter and told what hap-
. pened, rath-
Prtze Journafisf er than what
Expounda Faith in he thought
Militant Democracy ought to
happen. Lat
er, as president of Chile and ambas
sador to Washington, he maintained
much of this same detachment.
One thing that he observed in
1936 was that the world was go
ing to hell in a hand-basket un
less there could be a successful
collective “organization of
peace.” He also observed that
it would be foolish to think that
treaties would be an effective
stopgap against the oncoming
apocalypse. He was away out
in front in urging bold affirma
tions and aggressive action, in
stead of pacifistic negations as
the survival technique of de
mocracy—in which he is a ferv
ent believer.
One of the four Latin-American
recipients of the Maria Moors Cabot
prize in journalism, Dr. Davila has
exemplified his faith in a militant
and crusading democracy, which
faith he expounds in the public func
tions attending the prize award. As
editor of the Editors Press service,
he is possibly the most important
journalistic liaison in the new cul
tural and, to a degree, political
entente between North and South
America.
After becoming editor-in-chief
of La Nacion, he came to Wash
ington as ambassador, in 1928
at the age of 34. He became
president of Chile in 1932, in a
period of political upheaval,
helped incline his country to its
present liberal trend and land
ed back in the United States
where his daughters were edu
cated and which he considers
the world’s hope for democratic
leadership. It is doubtful wheth
er we have in South America
any U. S. A. citizen who can
match Dr. Davila’s penetration
of the mind and institutions of
another country.
Living in New York off and on for
quite a few years now, he mixes
around casually, knows a lot of peo
ple, speaks quite a lot of our idiom
and demonstrates hemisphere sol
idarity in his small, compact,
alert person as few North or South
Americans have ever done.
Bombs and bullets were some
times an obligato to his rapid rise
in Chilean statesmanship. He helped
build the Chilean state and knows
that democracy is not easily come
by. He says we were soft, but are
toughening up and getting back our
“crusading spirit and stoic fiber.”
Christmas Baking Begins With Luscious Fruit Cake!
(See Recipes Below.)
Holiday Fare
Christmas is something pretty
tpecial, I’m sure you’ll agree, and
as such deserves something pretty
special in the way of food. To my
notion the fruit cakes and plum pud-
iin’s are that special something
with their handsome brown, fruity
richness and delectable flavors.
The charm of both these kinds of
delicacies lies in their ripened,
mellowed flavors
which comes only
with proper aging
when the spices,
fruits, nuts and
butter blend
themselves into
mysterious good
ness. So bake the
fruit cakes an<i
puddings in ad
vance and give them a chance to
acquire their best in flavor.
While you’re about the big busi
ness of making a fruit cake, bake
several small cakes in small glass
or pottery dishes to give as gifts.
Gaily decorated with sprigs of holly
and mistletoe and holiday ribbons
they make a perfect gift.
Dark Fruit Cake.
(Yields 10 to 12 pounds)
12 eggs
4 cups sifted flour
2 cups butter
1 pound brown sugar
2 pounds raisins
2 pounds currants
1 pound pecans
1 pound citron
1 pound almonds
1 teaspoon each, nutmeg, cinna
mon, mace
V* cup lemon juice
V* cup canned peach juice
6-ounce glass jelly (blackberry,
currant or grape)
% cup cream
Wash and dry raisins and cur
rants. Blanch almonds, drain and
cut with pecans into quarters. Cut
citron into thin slices. Place fruit
in large mixing bowl. Sift flour,
measure and sift with spices and
mix with fruits until well-coated.
Cream butter and sugar, add beaten
eggs and jelly. Stir in flour and
fruit alternately with fruit juice first,
then cream.
Line pans with heavy waxed pa
per and butter slightly. Fill pans
almost to the top. Bake small loaf
cakes 3 to 3 Vi hours at 275 degrees.
Bake large loaf cakes 4 to 4Vi hours
at 250 degrees. Cool.
Cool cakes on a rack. When cool,
wrap in heavy waxed paper and
store tightly.
If you prefer the lighter fruit
cakes, why not try this less rich
but just as elegant cousin of the
Dark Fruit Cake:
Light Fruit Cake.
(Makes 3Vi to 4 pounds)
1V4 pounds mixed crystallized
fruits (cherries, pineapple, etc.)
V4 pound mixed lemon, orange,
citron peels
V4 pound blanched, chopped al
monds
18 maraschino cherries
Vi cup diced preserved ginger
2 Vi cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
LYNN SAYS:
Christmas wouldn’t be Christ
mas if you didn’t have good
things like fruit cake and plum
puddin’ on hand. But since these
take lots of time to make, plan
to be in the process of making
them for several days so one day
won’t tire you out.
Fruits and nuts can be cut and
chopped several days in advance
since they usually involve consid
erable time.
When putting the batter in the
pans be sure that the corners
are well filled with batter so
you’ll get a nice looking cake or
pudding.
Store the cake or pudding in a
cool dry place. Have it tightly
covered preferably in a tin con
tainer. Sound apples may be kept
in the container itself to keep
cake or pudding moist, but must
be replaced if they become de
cayed or shriveled.

chool Lesson
By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D. D.
Dean of The Moody Bible Institute
of Chicago.
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
Lesson for December 7

Council of Religious Education; used by

THE NATURE AND WORK OF
THE CHURCH
LESSON TEXT—Acts 2:41-47; Ephesians
*4:11-16.
GOLDEN TEXT—Christ also loved the
church, and gave hlmsell for It.—Ephesians
5:25.
The church, which is so much the
center of life for Christians is not
as well understood as it should be.
We have come to regard it as just
one organization among many com
peting for the attention and interest
of men, when it is really a divine, liv
ing organism established by Christ
as His Body and representing Him
in this world. Our lesson presents
significant truth for both study and
teaching. The church is
I. A Fellowship of Believers (Acts
2:41-47).
The church is made up of those
who are saved (v. 47), those who
have received the Word by faith and
witnessed a good confession of their
faith in Christ (v. 41). This is a
fact to be remembered in a time
when there is so much laxness in
receiving members into the church.
It is not a religious or social club.
It is not a rallying place for those
who wish to work for sortie eco
nomic, political, or social project. It
is not a gathering of good people
who wish to share common inter
ests.
The church needs to cleanse its
rolls of all unbelievers, all hangers-
on, and get back to the purity which
it had when only those were re
ceived who were manifestly "add
ed” by the Lord (v. 47).
Such folk have many interests
which bind them together in fellow
ship, devotion, and service. The
early church was interested in sound
doctrinal teaching (v. 42), an excel
lent thing. They had fellowship in
prayer (v. 42); we need that too.
They had gladness of heart (v. 46);
do we not need a renewal of the
song of the Lord in our midst?
They had such fervent love for
each other that they established a
communal system of sharing with
one another, something which God
had never commanded and which
apparently failed with them, for it
was later abandoned. But the point
is that they really did love each oth
er and thus showed their true dis-
cipleship (see lesson of last Sun
day).
II. A Center of Christian Ministry
(Eph. ■4:11),
The church is God’s chosen de
pository for spiritual gifts, among
them being the special ministries
mentioned here. The Holy Spirit
calls men as He chooses. Blessed
is the church which recognizes His
choice of teachers, evangelists,
preachers, and leaders and gives
them liberty to serve the Lord in
their calling. ‘
It is God who calls men for these
various activities in His vineyard.
Self-appointed or man-chosen lead
ers and. preachers are destined to
fail, but God’s men may be assured
of His blessing and power.
HI. A Place of Spiritual Growth
(Eph. 4:12-16).
The purpose of the gifts c? the
Spirit is the edifying and building
up of believers. A church should al
ways be evangelistic in its efforts.
The pastor should be a soul-winner,
but essentially his ministry is to so
edify and instruct believers that
they may go out and win others to
Christ.
Verses 13 to 16 tell us how this
“perfecting of the saints” moves
forward. There is unity of the faith
and a growth in knowledge, a stead
iness which keeps believers from
being led astray by error or the
cleverness of men. Thus kept from
drifting, and being steadily enriched
in knowledge of the truth, the believ
er grows up to spiritual manhood.
Do not miss the beauty and help
fulness of verses 15 and 16. Like the
body “fitly framed and knit togeth
er,” the church of Christ is to be a
perfectly co-ordinated organism, ev
ery member performing its perfect
service in building up the body in
love for the glory of its Head—
Christ.
This figure of the Church as the
body of Christ and the working to
gether of the members for the glory
of the Head is further developed in
I Corinthians 12, which the reader
is urged to consider, especially
vejses 12 to 27.
Watching to See
With the Christian who takes the
deep true view of his religion as a
guide in all earthly matters, materi
al or spiritual, there is never any
feverish, blind-alley skirmishing in
the face of threatened ill. He just
waits vigilantly, trustfully, upon
God, ready to do His will the mo
ment it is made clear to him. “I
will watch to see what He will say
to me.” Watching to see! In those
telling words lies the whole secret
of the thing that mystifies non
religious folk so completely—the in
violate calm and courage with which
real Christians meet the worst ad
versities that can befall them in the
world.
Barnum Had Plugged Holes
And Was in the Money
When P. T. Barnum, as a young
man, left Danbury, Conn., to
make his way in the world, he
ieft numerous unpaid bills behind
him. To one creditor the imagi
native showman said with great
intensity: “I’ll pay you what I
owe you as soon as I get rich.”
The other laughed and eyed the
youth disdainfully.
“That will be when a sieve holds
water,” he jeered.
But in a few years the master
showman was well on the road to
success, and with great satisfac
tion wrote the man the following
note:
“Dear Sir: I have fixed that
sieve.”
Ideals as Stars
Ideals are like stars;, you will
not succeed in touching them with
your hands, but like the seafaring
man on the desert of waters, you
choose them as your guides, and,
following them, you reach your
destiny.—Carl Schurz.

conversation chairs so
much at home in a Victorian
setting would be just as smart in
a modern room. They are com
fortable too, and any man who
can nail together a box of one-
inch pine boards can make a
frame for one. The lady with
needle and thread then takes over.
If ready made spring cushions are
used it is best to buy them first
and then plan the box base to fit.
The dimensions in the diagram
tilt the back and seat at comforta
ble angles. Domes of silence at
the four corners of the base make
the chair easy to move.

The Soul
About what am I now employ
ing my own soul? On every occa
sion I must ask myself this ques
tion, and inquire, what have I now
in this part of me which they call
the ruling principle? and whose
soul have I now? that of a child,
or a young man, or of a feeble
woman or of a tyrant, or of a
domestic animal, or of a wild
beast?
Longer mileage and greater durability result
from the use of Vitamic rubber, produced by
adding a new rubber vitamin called Vitalin
to both the tread and cord body.
Protection against skidding and side-slips
is greatly increased by the new Safti-Stop
Gear-Grip Tread.
Protection against blowouts is greater
because of the patented Safti-Lock Gum-Dipped
Cord Body and Super-Speed Construction.
Here’s the tire that will give you outstanding
performance and most miles per dollar. See
