Most of the AA and A, top grades of beef, are going to armed forces'and utili ty or lower grade beef will be more available for civilian consumption. That calls for pulling out the old- fashioned, flavorful recipes that will really make this beef taste good. We used to do, and can still do it as long as we pull the bunny of inge nuity out of the proverbial hat, or cookbook, as the case may be. Inexpensive cuts of meat can be made tender by several methods. Round steak cm be pounded with a small hammer or mallet to break down the tissues, then braised with liquids and sea sonings to savory goodness. Stew ing is another good method for cooking this type of meat. Adding tomato juice, spices, mushroom soup and other liquids gives peak flavor. Here are recipes which may be made with utility beef, but which will have just as much flavor as the more expensive cuts: Swiss Steak. (Serves 6) Round or Arm steak, cut 2 inches thick Flour Salt and pepper 1 onion, thinly sliced 2 tablespoons lard 2 cups tomatoes 1 carrot, diced cup corn 1 small green pepper, sliced H cup water Mix flour, salt and pepper; pound into steak. Brown steak in lard. Add vegetables and water. Cover pan and cook in slow oven (300 de grees) for 2V4 hours. Add more wa ter if needed. Serve with vegeta bles poured over steak. Short Ribs With Vegetables. (Serves 6) 5 pounds short ribs of beef 3 teaspoons salt H teaspoon pepper 2 tablespoons lard 8 medium-sized potatoes 8 small onions 4 parsnips 4 carrots Wipe meat with damp cloth, sprin kle with salt and pepper and brown in hot fat. Add water, cover and allow to simmer an hour. Prepare vegetables. Add whole potatoes, onions, parsnips and carrots cut in half. Season vegetables, cover and continue cooking until vegetables are tender. Serve meat on platter garnished with vegetables. Lyon Says Point Painters: Use low tem peratures in cooking meat, re gardless of the method. High tem peratures shrink meat unneces- * sarily. Save all the meat you buy. If a roast is boned at the butchers, bring the bones home and use them for soup. Different seasonings add inter est to meats. Try onion gravy with beef. Mushroom soup, diluted and heated, goes well with lamb. Horseradish adds pep to pot roast or short ribs gravy. Pork gravy is good with a dash of sage, lamb gravy with a bit of curry. Leftover vegetables ■ such as peas, carrots, celery, lima beans and green beans added to gravy make it colorful, different and more nourishing.

JESUS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD LESSON TEXT-John 9:1-7. 13, 34-41. GOLDEN TEXT—I am the light ot the world: he that (olluweth me shall not walk In the darkness, but shall have the light of life. —John 8:12. Light is a fascinating subject for study, and especially is that true when we speak of spiritual light. In the lessons of the next three months we are to see the light which Christ sheds on the problems of life today. How appropriate to begin that study by recognizing Christ as the one true “light of the world.” He it is who brought us out of darkness, and it is from His light that we too are lighted and become God’s lights in this wicked world (Matt. 5:14-16). The story which presents our Lord as the light and the light giver is that of the man born blind. Four choices confront us. l. Guesswork or God’s Glory (w. 1-5). Men have an inordinate curiosity about those who are handicapped or crippled. Even the disciples of Je sus had fallen into the sad tendency of seeing in one who needed their help, a case for theological specula tion rather than one in whom God’s glory could be revealed. Need without power to help is a depressing thing, and may encour age man to a bit of scientific or re ligious guesswork. Here is a speci men—let us examine it. How did this happen? Who was responsible? But when we know the power of God, guessing and theorizing is gone. Here is help! Jesus declared a great truth here —suffering is not necessarily the re sult of sin, nor for the purpose of judgment or punishment. This man was here that God might show His grace and power. Those who suffer in our day may be the means of declaring God’s glory, either by His deliverance from pain and sorrow, or by His grace to bear the burden graciously and for His glory. n. Impossibility or Obedience (w. 6-7). "Clay cannot bring sight to a man’s eyes—anyone knows that I All such a covering can do is to make the darkness of sightless eyes even more impenetrable.” The blind man might have reasoned that way. He would have been entirely logical in so doing—and he would have gone right on being blind. It is possible to thrust from you God’s richest blessing by insisting that God’s work be done in accord with your ability to understand. But the blind man chose the obe dience of faith—“he went . . . and washed, and came seeing.” Jesus is the light of the world to those who will believe. The blind man found it so—we may also find it to.be true, if we will believe. The impossible be comes possible—with God, for “with God all things are possible.” Jesus said it (Matt. 19:26); let us believe it and act on it. m. Controversy or Confession (w. 13, 34-38). This is a great chapter, one in which we see the glory of faith con trasted with the controversial small ness of unbelieving men. The Phar isees were religious men, but they hated Jesus (a combination possible even in our day), so they sought in every possible way to discredit Him, to deny the miracle, and to destroy the one who was healed. Against that dark background the light of this man’s faith shines the more brightly. The more they tried to confuse him, the deeper they en trapped themselves, as he answered in simple faith. Testimony is a tremendously ef fective thing, even though it must cling to the elementary and blessed truth “I was blind, now I see” (v. 25). But note that he went on, and under the tender ministry of Jesus, he received his spiritual, as well as his physical, sight. “I believe”— what majestic words, what trans forming words, what world-shaking words! Friend, do you believe on Christ? If not, will you do it right now? IY. Healing or Hardening (w. 39- 41). The same sun which softens the wax hardens the mud. The light which attracts some out of the dark places causes others to shrink far ther into the shadows lest they have to give up their dark deeds and thoughts. So it was in this case. The blind man who had faith, saw, and that sight was the sight of the soul as well as of the body. But the em bittered Pharisees were only hard ened in their sin. Because they boasted of their spiritual sight which made the ministry of Jesus unneces sary (as they thought!), there was nothing for Him to do but to leave them in their darkness. The light of Christ, which is to shine on the problems of life in the lessons of the three months ahead of us, will either bring men to the light in faith, or confirm them in their unbelief.
