THE SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C, MARCH 19, 1943 IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson BY HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D. Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) y OU would think, at the rather * ripe age of 81, that a fellow would be looking backward through his memories of big days and great years. But Colonel Matt Winn insists on looking forward. We tried to get him to tell us about that first Ken tucky Derby in 1875, just 68 years ago, when the Colonel was a kid of 13. “You must have gotten a big thrill from watching Aristides win that first Derby,” I said. “Or can you remember about it?” “1 can remember everything about it,” the Colonel said. “Sixty-eight years back isn’t so long ago. That was a good Derby. But wait till you see our 1943 special. That will be the one.” “How is the walking between New York and Louisville?” I asked him'. “Very good,” Colonel Winn said. “I might add—excellent. You ought to leave about three weeks ahead, al lowing for 30 miles a day. Maybe a little longer. But you will find COL. MATT WINN good roads. You will see a beautiful countryside. You can look at flares of dogwood blooms and hear birds singing in the April maples. You can also take along a form sheet. You can read about Count Fleet, Oc cupation, Ocean Wave and possibly some 18 starters.” “Thirty miles a day,” I whispered. “I can already hear my old dogs barking after two days. Did you ever read Masefield “On Growing Old”? I asked. "Who has to grow old?” the Colo nel growled. “What did he say about it?” “Stay with me, beauty, while the fire is dying. My dogs and I are now too old for roving.” Getting There “Did you know,” Colonel Wim. continued, “that racing lovers in England and Scotland have frequent ly started three weeks ahead to see the English Derby? And they walked ail the way, hundreds of miles. Of course, this wouldn’t apply to any one needed in any form of war work. We intend to see that no oil or rub ber will be used. But there will be many Kentuckians who will either walk to the track or come by wag ons, buggies and street cars.” “I can tell you, honestly, that I am not thinking in terms of attend ance or receipts. The thought of losing money doesn’t bother me a bit. Anyone can get discouraged and quit. But we need all the color we can get today, some outside in terests for thousands of people to think about in odd moments. “The Kentucky Derby is some thing more than a two-minute race. It begins building up interest weeks ahead—interest among hundreds of thousands who have no chance to be at Churchill Downs in May. Count Fleet? Ocean Wave? Many others. No Novice Speaks “I have been looking at Kentucky Derbies for exactly 68 years. There have been a lot of yesterdays packed in since 1875, when both baseball and football were young games. “Suppose everybody not directly connected with the winning war ef fort had quit and called everything off? Suppose we had no racing—no football—no baseball—no form of competitive sport left? Would that help the morale of 135,000,000 peo ple, including 11,000,000 servicemen? That would mean we would stand as about the only nation in the world to be so badly flattened out. Fifty thousand at a football game in Moscow, with the Germans 30 miles away—from 20,000 to 30,000 watching British soccer football only a few days ago at many parks— Australia, Japan, Germany, keeping certain games going—but the great est sporting nation of all time fold ing up in the way of sport? “No sane person would ever advo cate any sport that interfered in any way with the matter of winning this war. Even a half-wit knows this. “But, I say, at the age of 81, who should know what sport means to the United States, that sport, cor rectly controlled and directed, can be a helpful factor without asking any favors. “If I knew we were going to lose $100,000 on this next Derby I would still be in favor of holding the race. Please believe me.” Colonel, we do. Lesson for March 21 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. OUR LORD’S INTERCESSORY PRAYER LESSON TEXT—John 18-2«. GOLDEN TEXT — “Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one. as we are."—John 17:11. There are some times and places so sacred that one is instinctively hushed into reverent devotion. When Christ prayed in holy intercession (as recorded in John 17) on the night before His suffering His disciples must have been lifted into the very presence of the Eternal One. It was a holy experience. He prayed for Himself, but even more did He pray for His believing followers. To know that someone is praying for us is indeed an anchor in a time of storm, a strong help in the hour of conflict or of service for Christ. But to know that the Master prayed for you and me—that is enough to send us, like the disciples of old, out to face an unbelieving world in His conquering name. He prayed for Himself—and He prayed for me! I. He Prayed for Himself (w. 1-8). He looked up and said: “Father,” and then He was ready to pray. So close was He to God that there was just this simple recognition of their communion. In Christ are we not as close as He? What did Jesus ask for Himself? At first thought it seems a little un usual that He asked 1. For Recognition of His Divine Glory (w. 1-5). Why would He who had just given the disciples an example of and an admonition to humility desire to have His glory manifested? Be sure it was not a matter of selfish i#Hde. He had finished His work (for He counted redemption as complete throughout His prayer), and now the glory which He laid down when He caipe to earth (Phil. 2:6-8) was to be resumed. He wants man to see Him now not only as the compassionate Son of man, but the glorious Son of God, able to save. It is right that the glory of Christ should be magnified and recognized by the whole crea tion. He is worthy! 2. For the Manifestation of His Grace (w. 6-8). The Father had given Christ the heart devotion of those who believed in Him. Note that their faith rested on the name of God (v. 6), and upon Hi < Word which had come to them and to us through Christ. He recognized their position and standing in Him and established it before God and man. He then prayed for them (read w. 9-17) that they might be kept in an evil world as a testimony to the grace and power of God in the human heart. This leads to His intercession for all believers. II. He Prayed for All Believers (w. 18-26). Christians are not simply the avowed adherents to a particular form of belief, they are “sent” ones. ' As the Father sent Him into the world, “even so send I them into the world,” said Christ. Christ has gone to be with the Father, but He has left those who believe in Him as His witnesses, His representatives. For this they need holiness. He prayed: 1. For Their Consecration (w. 18, 19). For their sakes He consecrated Himself. Surely if He needed it, ^ve do far more. It is not only His will for us, but His prayer. How won derfully that prayer was answered we see as we look back over the intervening 19 centuries, from His immediate disciples on through the martyrs, the missionary pioneers of all ages, the faithful preachers and teachers of the gospel, yes and “liv ers” of the gospel too. He knew, He prayed, God answered. Are you in that blessed host of consecrated believers? 2. For Their Unity and Glory (w. 20-26). There is a refreshing simplicity about the Christian faith which is utterly different from all the com plications which man has prepared and superimposed upon it. Essen tially it is a matter of God having sent His Son into %he world to be the Redeemer of men. He and the Fa ther are one, He and His followers are one, and so we are all one. We who today believe are included (read vv. 20-23). This is an inward unity of the Spirit, not an outward union of or* | ganizations. The answer to our dif- I Acuity is not the dissolution of de- j nominations (although there do i seem to be far too many subdivi- 1 slons, too), but the uniting of all groups in a oneness of love and devo tion to Christ, and a united emphasis on the gospel. There is something more here. This unity puts Christ’s followers into the place where His glory may be revealed in and upon them. It is His prayer that we should behold in our Saviour the glory which God had given Him because He loved Him before the foundation of the world. mtum WWW imms Today’s Cake Fixings Are Simple, Food Saving (See Recipes Below) ON THE HOME FRONT A man why lost his job soon after war began went to see a friend who had obtained a post in a much- criticized department. His friend was sympathetic and said: “I think I can fix you up with a job here.” The job seeker was taken along the corridor and installed in a com fortable office. His friend left him with these words: “Now, don’t be surprised at our way of doing things. You'll soon get used to it.” The man settled down in his of fice, read his newspaper from cov er to cover, and solved the cross word. Then it was time to knock off. The same thing happened ev ery succeeding day. During the second week he met his friend, who asked him how he liked the job. “Fine,” he replied. “The office is cozy and warm. I’m quite comforta ble, but I don’t think they trust me here. Every time I set foot outside the office I’m followed by two young men. They even shadow me when I go to lunch. Am I under suspi cion?” “Not at all,” replied his friend. “Those fellows are your secreta- Bake Your Own! Those ot you who have chosen homemaking as a career can set aside a half day for baking your own goodies right in your own oven. There are few things nicer than coming into a kitchen full of busy bustling, testing the cake, plump ing fat loaves of bread on racks to cool, or packing cookies in fresh wax paper for pantry shelves—for those fine boys in the service! When sugar rationing first came into the picture, most of us feared that it would not allow enough for home baking needs, but we have found ways to make sugar stretch. Or, perhaps we should say, com syrups and honey to make baking possible. With eggs up in price and fats becoming scarce, we have changed our recipes to fill these needs, too! Today’s recipes may not call for the quantity of materials that yes terday’s did, but they can make just as tempting a product. *Hot Water Sponge Cake.

Use green vegetables as soon as possible after buying. They lose quantities of their vitamin C just sitting and being exposed to air. Add dressing immediately to vegetables and fruits after cut ting them. The coating prevents some vitamin loss. Put away the soda box when cooking green vegetables. It’s alkaline and destroys vitamins. Shell peas or lima beans only just before using. Wash leafy greens just before cooking. The percentage of vitamin loss will be lessened. Start cooking frozen foods be fore thawing. It is believed that less vitamin C is destroyed by that method.

I know what my intentions are. Chip Off Hard Block With a big struggle, the farmer had sent his son to college. At the end of the first year the lad brought back his report. He stood second in his class. “Second?” said the father coldly. “Why weren’t you first? What do you think I’m sending you to col lege for?” So at the end of his second year he proudly displayed his report. "First this time, dad!” he ex claimed. The farmer looked at the report in silence for a few moments; then he shrugged his shoulders. “Huh!” he said curtly. “At the head of the class, eh? Can’t be much of a college!” Knows the Answers Peter was visiting his aunt in the country, and this relative was strict with him. One thing upon which she insisted was the observance of Sunday as not a day for play. So v/hen she found Peter sailing his toy boat in the bath on Sunday afternoon she was grieved. “Don’t you know, Peter,” she said, reproachfully, “that it’s very wicked to sail your boat on Sunday?” “Oh, but aunty,” explained Peter, anxiously, “it’s not a pleasure trip. It’s a missionary boat going to Africa.” Leaf Falls Abbott—Costello, where did you get that bump on your head? Costello—My wife hit me on the head with a maple leaf. Abbott—That’s ridiculous. Where did she get a maple leaf in the win ter time? Costello—From the middle of the dining room table.

Her friends were astonished and asked her why she would marry four men in her not-too-long career. She said: “My first husband was a banker, my second was an actor, my third was a preacher, and my fourth is an undertaker.” When she was asked why she was marrying an undertaker, she said: “One for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go.” Bolero Frock for W armer Weather Bolero Froek.
