And there’s noth ing that tastes so good as food eat en in the great wide spaces in sand, under the pines amid the smoke of a fire. Our recipes and suggestions today are designed to fit those who Want to do part of their cooking at home, and finish when they arrive at the picnic. It is easy to lay out a swell spread when everything is well or ganized and planned ahead. You’ll like the recipes because they’re not fancy. They do make for some downright good eating, though, and will give you a grand experience in outdoors eating. Food is best packed in hampers or tied in cloth. It’s easiest to carry that way. If you have anything breakable, use a metal container. Best Type at Fire. For those of you who want* to cook outdoors, use the trapper type of fire. Never start cooking until the wood has burned and is a bed of glowing red coals. To make this type of fire, place 2 medium sized logs (green) 8 to 8 inches apart. Be tween these set up dry twigs and shavings. Carry something that will make the fire start easily, a bit of tissue paper with a few dry twigs. The logs can be adjusted to fit the cooking utensil. Our recipe round-up starts with the favorite hamburgers. If you snuggle in the extra cheese, you’ll like the flavor: All-American Hamburgers. (Serves 6) 1V4 pounds hamburger M cup milk 1 teaspoon salt Dash of pepper >4 pound American cheese 4 tablespoons hotter 6 buttered buns Mix meat with milk, salt and pep per. Form 12 thin patties > of the meat about 3 inches in diameter. Cut 6 slices of cheese slightly small er than meat patties and place the cheese in between the meat patties, sandwich-fashion. Seal edges well. Melt butter in a skillet and fry the patties slowly for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve on toasted buns. Hot Cheese Frankfurters. (Serves 10) 20 frankfurters 20 slices of bacon pound sharp cheese Split frankfurters lengthwise and* fill with long strips of cheese. Wind a strip of bacon, spirally, around each frankfurter and fasten at ends with toothpicks. Toast on forks or long-handled toasters over fire until bacon is browned and cheese is melted. Place in a hot toasted roll and serve with relish. Creamy Scrambled Eggs. (Serves 6) 8 eggs 34 eup milk Lynn Says Campfire Cosy: Make sure the drinking water is safe on your camping trip. Boiled water al ways is, sparkling water isn’t nec essarily. A hole dug in the earth in the shade of the tree, lined with small stones makes a nice outdoor re frigerator. Moist caves, shallow underground streams, small drops or falls are all good “re frigerators.” Be sure to put your campfire out. Water is the best thing, soil next best. A canoe paddle makes an ex cellent bread board or a checker board! Paint squares as for checkers and* play with cookies or candies. Lynn Chambers’ Picnie Mann •Bacon Sandwich •Roasted Corn Cherry Tomatoes Cocoa •Rocks Fresh Fruit •Recipes Given 36 teaspoon salt 4 tablespoons batter 34 enp diced Amerienn cheese if desired Beat the eggs well. Add salt and pepper, if desired. Melt butter in heavy skillet and pour eggs into pan, stirring well as the mixture begins to thicken. When eggs are partially cooked, add cheese. Serve on toast when thick. Do not overcook. Bacon is a grand outdoor appetite tempter. It is also an important concentrated source of food energy that you’ll need after working hard outdoors. If you are frying bacon at the pic nic, then this is the best method to follow: Place the strips in a cold skillet over a low fire. Turn fre quently until all parts of ba-Tn are evenly cii :p but not brittle. Do not let fat smoke. For extra crispi ness, drain off the fat as the bacon cooks. Bacon Sandwich. To make delectable sandwiches, fry the bacon as directed above with thick slices of fried onion and to matoes served on toasted buns. Have you caught some fish? Noth ing will taste better than a chowder made in a chowder kettle over a bed of coals: Fish Chowder. (Serves 6) 5 slices baeon, diced 3 medium onions, diced 42 pounds fresh fish, boned 2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon ptpper 5 to 8 medium potatoes, sliced or diced 1 quart milk 4 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons flour Fry bacon and onion together un til onion is light brown. Cut fish into small pieces and rub with salt and pepper. Add potatoes to chowder kettle. Cover with boiling water and cook 30 minutes. Blend flour with 34 cup milk. Add remaining milk to fish and stir in flour mixture. Add butter, simmering constantly. When mixture thickens, serve in soup bowls with crackers. Like vegetables cooked outdoorsT Then, here is one: Roast Corn. Use fresh sweet corn. Remove corn silk but leave husks on. Dip the ear, husk and all into a pail of water and lay on a grate over a hot bed of coals. The water turns into steam within the husk coating and thus cooks the corn, making it steamy and juicy instead of dry and tasteless. Corn may also be roasted by burying in the ashes. Cookies and fruit make the ideal campfire dessert. Take cookies easy to carry such as: Rocks. (Makes 5 dozen) 1 cup shortening 134 cups brown sugar S eggs 1 teaspoon cinnamon 34 teaspoon doves 3 cups sifted flour 1 teaspoon soda 134 cups walnuts 2 cups raisins Cream sho lening and sugar. Add eggs and beat well. Add sifted dry ingredients, chopped nuts and rai sins. Drop from spoon onto greased cookie sheet and bake in a mod erate (350-degree) oven. // you with additional instruction for canning fruit or berries, write to Miss Lynn Chambers, 210 South Desplaines Street, Chicago 6, Illinois.

Of Tbs Moody Bible Institute of ChleacOk Released by Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for August 20 XjftMon subjects and Scripture texts aa-i lected end copyrighted by InternattoaM! Council of ReUgious Education; used by« permission. THE PROPHET IN THE LIFE OF1 ISRAEL LESSON TEXT—I Samuel 1:3-11. GOLDEN TEXT—He that hath my smrd. let him speak my word faithfully.—Jeremiah 23:21. Remarkably up-to-date Is the helpful guidance found in this les son. When our nation finds itself facing those other nations which would destroy our Christian faith, and we know that we need the key both to a true victery and a satisfac tory peace, the message of this scripture comes with fine helpful ness. The prophet Samuel (who was also priest and judge) served God in ruling his people at a time when they were under the hard heel of the Philistines. The way out of op pression was revealed in God’s Word, which brought revival and deliverance—which was not forgot* ten in the day of triumph. I. God’s Word Declared (3:19-21). While a prophet had the ministry of foretelling, his chief work was forth-telling. He told of the future, but his larger ministry was to de clare the message of God. As Sam-j uel did this In faithful devotion to the Lord, there was the immediate blessing of God which established the prophet throughout the whole land. Those who are timid about “limit ing” their ministry (imagine that!) to the Bible should learn of Samuel that It is the only really effective message. God will not “let you down” if you teach and preach His Word. He let none of Samuel’s “words fall to the ground’’ (v. 19) and He will not desert us as wo give forth His truth. Note that the Lord Himself came to strengthen and encourage Samuel (v. 21). He is just as gracious to His servants today. He comes to them in that blessed strengthening fellowship Which stirs their hearts and fires them anew with holy de termination. n. Man’s Heart Revived (7:3-8). The response of the people to Samuel’s message was whole hearted. They were sick of their sin and idolatry. They proved tho reality of their repentance by put ting away their heathen gods. Such repentance and appropriate action is a prerequisite to spiritual revival. God cannot give us His blessing if we hold on to our sin and idolatry. Note how the revival expressed it self. They gathered together and prayed (w. 5, 6). Spiritual life thrives on the gathering together of God’s people. The crisis in Israel was met by a convocation of the people. We need to revive the great soul-stirring religious gatherings of a generation ago. Go yourself, and encourage others to go. Let the fire of God bum, and let those who meet scatter far and wide as brands which will light new fires. “I will pray,” said Samuel. He was a great intercessor (I. Sam. 15:11, Ps. 99:6; Jer. 15:1). Revival starts in the faithful intercession of a burdened heart. Should we not ask ourselves, “Have I really prayed for revival in my church, my city, and my country?” HI. A Nation DeUvered (7:7-11). “Cry unto God ... he will save us,” was the word of Samuel. They cried, and He did! "The Lord thun dered with a great thunder,” and discomfited the enemies of IsraeL In these days of warfare we might well cry out, “Lord, do it again,” thunder upon our enemies and de feat them in such a way that they and we shall see that it was the hand of God and not of men! (See Ps. 20:7.) That is one thing for which we might well pray, for “behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear” (Isa. *9:1). Seeing Israel at prayer, the enemy took advantage of them and at tacked. In the previous battle at this very spot (see last Sunday’s les son) Israel had been defeated be cause they had fought with the weapons of man. Now, with God’s weapons of prayer and faith, they had glorious victory. IV. God’s Mercy Remembered (7:12). Samuel raised a stone of remem brance, to remind Israel in the years to come that the Lord had been their help. A defeated, dis heartened, sinful people had turned to God in repentance and faith, and God had given them victory. They must never forget His mercy. One of the great concerns of think ing men in our day is the fear that victory may come to us before we are spiritually and morally ready to receive it. If it does, we shall see a mad rush into excesses of all kinds, a bold glorying in our own ability and power, and even greatei forgetfulness of God. What America needs now is a deep going spiritual revival which wil both prepare us for a God-givei victory, and for the peace which ii to follow.

Roads and Cities Were Built by Salt and Incense Salt and incense were the chief economic and religous necessities of the ancient world, and most of its great commercial routes were established because of them. One of the oldest roads in Italy is the “Via Salaria.” The salt route from Greece to the mouth of the Dnie per led to the same salt pans that supply the Far East today in nor mal times. It can be said that London was built by salt, for the first settle ment on the banks of the Thames owed its origin to the fact that there rested the pack-trains carry ing salt from Cheshire en route to the shores of the channel for ex port to Gaul.
