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.

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.

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.

Lynn Says:
Tie a String Around Your Fin
ger: The technique’s different
when you do your own vegeta
bles—and you must keep these
pointers on tap if you would get
the most out of them:
Peel potatoes thinly—their min
eral treasures are hidden right
under that skin.
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.

KNOWS OWN MIND
Father—Betty, what are the in
tentions of that young man you are
permitting to call on you so often?
Betty—Never mind that, Dad. 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.
GOOD LOOKS
“How do you like my new fur
coat, Hubby?”
“Well, if it’s as expensive as it
looks, I’ll be sorry you looked at it.”
On Her Mark
A woman was about to be mar
ried to her fourth husband. 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.”
