THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY, S. C.
Summer Fruits and
Berries Tell Us
That It’s Jam Time
To make jams or jellies, select
ripe berries and pick them over
carefully so you will have no sour
or bitter taste in the jam. Wash
the berries thoroughly before
working with them.
Although it’s the fruit or vegetable
that keeps us going on the job from
day to day with
its vitamins and |
minerals, it's the '
luscious fruit
jams, butters or
conserves that lift
meals from the
humdrum to the
elegant. So, homemakers, plan
to add delight to next winter’s
meals.
If you need a further excuse to
make them, you may consider them
from an economy standpoint, for
jam on the bread or roll will not
take nearly as much of the expen
sive spreads. Fruits and berries,
this season, are among the best, and
are really very reasonable in price
compared to what they have been
previously.
When you make jam, jelly, butter
or conserve, make a small batch.
This takes less time and allows for
less failure. Cooking in small quan
tity also saves the color of the fruit,
and appearance is as important in
jam as is its eating quality.
If you want some good spreads
for next winter make fruit and
berry butter, as these do not take
as much sugar as some of the others.

LYNN SAYS:
Keep on Your Toes
When Making Jelly
How do you know when jelly
meets specifications? It is clear,
tender and sparkling. It has retained
its fresh fruit or berry flavor; it
bolds its shape when turned from
the glass, but is soft enough to be
spread with a knife.
For jelly it’s preferable to use
containers that have a wide enough
mouth from which to slip the jelly
on a plate.

cups with water, if necessary. Mix
well. Bring to a full rolling boll over
hottest fire. Stir constantly before
and while boiling. Boil hard 1
minute.
Remove from fire and stir in fruit

Blackberry Jam.
4% cups prepared fruit
6^4 cups sugar
1 box powdered fruit pectin
To prepare the fruit: Crush com
pletely, one layer at a time, about
2 quarts of fully ripe blackberries.
If desired, sieve half of pulp to re
move some of the seeds. Measure
berries into large saucepan.
To make the jam: Measure sugar
and set aside. Place saucepan with
fruit over hot fire. Add powdered
fruit pectin and stir until mixture
comes to a hard boil. At once stir
in sugar. Bring to a full rolling
boil and boil hard 1 minute, stirring
constantly. Remove from heat,
skim, ladle quickly into glasses.
Paraffin at once.
True marmalades are really soft
fruit jellies, and are wonderful to
use for spreads when lunch box prob
lems come up during fall and win
ter. Have a few choice jars on
hand to take care of the situa
tion.
Cherry-Raspberry Conserve.
3 cups pitted cherries
1 cup chopped pineapple
1 cup raspberry pulp
4 cups sugar
Run cherries and pineapple
through food chopper. Add rasp
berries which have been thoroughly
crushed, and sugar. Heat slowly un
til sugar dissolves, then boil rapidly
until thick. Pour into hot, sterilized
jars and seal at once.
When you make jam or jelly,
it’s a good idea to check and pre
pare the jars in advance. Get some
help with the fruit or berries, if it’s
at all possible.
Have all ingredi
ents measured
out before you
start cooking, as
you will have to
be right on the
spot to watch out
for scorching. With these tips in
mind, the preparation will take on a
simplicity you never dreamed pos
sible.

Test for acid by tasting. If it
lacks, add some lemon juice.
Fully ripe fruits make the tastiest
Jellies, but most of these have in
sufficient pectin to make jelly. It is
best to use one-half ripe berries and
one-half not-so-ripe ones.
If you like a spiced jelly, drop a
bag of mixed spices into the juice
while it is first cooking.
Use wide-bottomed pans for cook
ing the jelly so that the juice will
cook quickly and not lose too much
of its color while cooking.
1 WONDERED why I shouldn’t let
Carl Bullard drown. It wasn’t
that I hated him. He was a nice
enough fellow. Just a boy, of course,
and too sentimental and too soft
and too rich. If only he hadn’t mar
ried Constance. I’d have saved him
in half a minute, but for that. . . In
stead, I watched the water swirl
over his head—and wondered.
No one could know what I had
done—that I had killed him almost
as much as if I had pushed him
down and held him under the sur
face.
How could they ever know? I was
quiet and still on the edge of the
pier with my feet dangling in the
cool water and a cigarette between
my fingers. Behind
me sat Carl Bul
lard’s wife talking
calmly with some
of her guests, and
behind her the
shore-line of Carl
Bullard’s land
stretched away se
rene and smooth to
Carl Bullard’s
roomy house on the opposite side
of Carl Bullard’s cove.
And I stared down between my
toes at Carl Bullard’s white body in
the water.
He had looked straight at me as
he went down. It was a queer, tor
tured, pleading sort of a look, as if
he knew exactly what was happen
ing to him and was trying to tell me
with his eyes. He had opened his
mouth to cry out, shipped a full
gasp of water into that boyish chest
of his and gone down with hardly
more than a ripple. Cramps, I
guess. I’d seen the same thing be
fore, bdt not so quick.
The cove was twelve feet deep at
the end of the pier, and greenly
translucent to the yellow, sandy bot
tom. It seemed almost too clear—
too innocent—to kill a man, but I
knew it was happening. I could see
Carl Bullard’s slow, convulsive
thrashing. He was not yet half-way
down.
How long would it be before he
touched the sand? Two seconds?
Ten? But how eternally long a sec
ond can be . . .
Constance had warned him. Said
it was too soon after lunch. Said he
ought to wait a while. But he had
laughed in that small-boy way he
had and chucked her under the
chin. And then he had run across
the pier to jump in over my head. I
could still feel the little breeze of
his passing. It was cold on my wet
back.
It was the chin-chucking, I think,
that made me sit still while he
sank. Constance was not a woman
to be chucked under the chin. You
wouldn’t sing swing in a church,
would you? That’s what I mean.
I’m a fine one to talk about
churches, but that’s what Constance
How long would it be before he touched the sand? Two second?
Ten? But how eternally long a second can be ...
does to me. Yesterday I saw her for
the first time in three years, and
it’s worse with me now than it was
then. A lot worse. Deeper. Not boy-
and-girl stuff any more. Man and
woman. And she’s married to Carl
Bullard.
She would have married me if
things had gone right. They hadn’t,
though. I thought a year in Buenos
Aires—at an unbelievable salary—
would give me my start. Instead of
that, three years in Buenos Aires
and amazing bad luck at any and
all forms of gambling gave me a
taste for living and little to live on.
Three years. . . .
There had been letters between us,
the first ‘few months. “Gee, I miss
you Connie. Wish my year was
up.” “I miss you too, Aleck. Seems
like a year already. Keep writing
often.”
B
UT the letter slowed down after
gether. My fault, I know. I couldn’t
keep lying to her about the money.
I was supposed to be saving it.
It was well in my second year
that I heard she’d been married.
The news filtered down to me one
way or another. I didn’t mind, then.
I had other diversions.
Three years is a long time. Al
most as long as it was taking Carl
Bullard to reach the yellow sand.
He was near it, now, and not clearly
outlined. Just a slow-moving blur.
. . . Three years was enough to give
me a lifetime’s fill of everything
Argentinian.
Somehow Constance heard I had
come back, and she wrote to me.
Just a friendly, welcome-back note.
That meant she held no hard feel
ings. The boy-and-girl stuff was
done with.
And yet I suddenly wanted to see
her, talk with her. I found her here
at the cove. She was still the Con
stance I remembered, if a little sub
dued, a little settled and satisfied.
But there was something in her
eyes, when she looked at me, that

made me wish I’d never gone away
from her. A glow. Not just friendli
ness. More than that.
It was the glow in her eyes that
kept me at the cove. I wouldn’t
have stayed at the Bullard place ex
cept for that.
A flock of guests as dull and chat
tering as guests always are. A hus
band who kept grinning at her like
a gawky boy, and patting her arm
and chucking her under the chin.
The glow in her eyes—whenever she
looked at me—made up for all of
that. .
I wanted to take my stare from
Carl Bullard's body—now nearly on
the sand—and look over my shoul
der toward Constance. I wanted to
see those glowing eyes again, meet
ing mine. But I didn’t move.
Instead I thought of something
very interesting. If I were to sit
still only a little longer, the pier and
the house and the cove—and a great
deal more—would belong to Con
stance. She’d be wealthy, and with
a glow in her eyes when she looked
at me.
Three years in the Argentine for
nothing, and three minutes on Carl
Bullard’s pier—for everything I
wanted. Why shouldn't I let Carl
Bullard drown?
I T’S STRANGE, when you’re tense
and still, how all your senses
become sharp beyond normality.
While I watched the greenish-white
blur that was Carl Bullard, the
feminine voices behind me, which
before had been unintelligible, be
came clear and distinct. Constance
talking to her guests.
“That water looks so good,” she
said. “I wish I could go in.”
“Why don’t you, Connie? I won
dered why you hadn’t.”
“Sh-h-. Doctors orders.”
There was a pause. "Connie! You
don’t—?”
“You might as well know now as
later, I guess. . . . It’ll be in Decem
ber. Haven’t you noticed the way
I’ve put on weight?”
“Why, my dear, we had no idea!
But now I know why Carl has been
so attentive. And that sparkle in
your eyes, Connie. All the signs .. .”
The sparkle in her eyes. The
glow.
Carl Bullard’s body was on the
sand at last, tumbling awkwardly,
shapelessly.
My cigarette dropped into the
water. I heard it hiss. And then I
dived in without taking time to
stand. Carl Bullard's grip nearly
broke my arm. . . .
YOU CAN WHIP NERVOUSNESS
After we’d spent an hour together
in his hotel room, this man and I,
I was almost as nervous as he was.
During that hour he had paced up
and down, his hands shaking, his
eyes glancing furtively to all cor
ners of the room.
I don’t need to tell you, do I, how
ineffective a personality he was?
You know, of course, that nervous
ness is fatal to a personality, yet
nerve specialists tell me that three
out of four persons “wear their
nerves on the outside of their
clothes.”
Take the most successful person
you know, the one with the most ef
fective personality. Was not that
person a serene person?
Some men and women tell me that
they are nervous because they were
born nervous. I think the man who
had the most calmness and serenity
I have ever known, when I com
mended him upon these things, re
marked that he wasn’t born with
them at all. He said he had to ac
quire them.
“Up till three years ago I was
the most nervous person in the
world,” he told me. “Then an old
doctor put me on the right track.
He advised me, each night when
the day’s work was done to go
home, take a leisurely hot bath,
put on pajamas and get into bed
for twenty minutes, not to sleep, but
merely to relax all over.”
That practice not only robbed him
of nervousness, but made him much
more effective in everything he did.

LESSON TEXT FOR JUNE 29—Psalm
119:105; Isaiah 2:2-4: Micah 6:1-8.
MEMORY SELECTION—He will teach
us of his ways, and we will walk In hi*
paths.—Isaiah 2:3.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Lesson subjects
and Scripture texts selected and copy
righted by International Council ol Re
ligious Education: used by permission.
By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D. D.
Of The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago
A T THE end of the road the He
brew nation may have—yes,
should have—stopped to look back
and see what it had accomplished.
Israel was now in exile, to return
only in part, and with greatly limit
ed greatness and glory.
What was God’s purpose for
Israel? It was threefold:
(1) To be a repository for his
truth in the earth.
(2) To be a channel for the com
ing of the personal Redeemer to
the earth.
(3) To be a national witness to
the one true God to the other na
tions of the earth.
The first two they fulfilled. They
kept for us the Word of God as re
vealed in the Old Testament, and
from their nation came most of the
men through whom the Holy Spirit
wrote the New Testament. It was
through their nation that the Son
of God came as Jesus of Nazareth,
our Saviour and Lord.
But they failed to be the witness
that God had meant them to be—
and for this they came under his
judgment.
Were they then a complete fail
ure? Certainly not—our lesson
makes that clear in three ways.
Teachers will find the scriptures not
too well selected, but they do serve
as a background for these thoughts.
The nation Israel showed us:
I. The Enlightening Word of God
(Ps. 119:105).
T ET us never forget That the pre-
cious Word of God, which is
our light on the way through this
dark world, came to us through
Jewish hands.
The Old Testament, which we
come to appreciate more and more
as we grow in grace and knowl
edge of the Lord, was committed to
Israel by inspiration of the Holy
Spirit, and preserved by the Jew
ish nation even at the cost of their
own lives. Nothing was more pre
cious to them than the sacred Scrip
ture. We owe them a great debt of
gratitude, and ought to honor them
for their service to God and man.
We may say then that the Bible,
unsurpassed in all the world of
literature, and beyond compari
son as the guiding light for man’s
heart and life, was given to us
through Israel. We could well say
a hearty “Thank you” for that
right now if we have never done
it before!
II. The Exalted Worship of God
(Isa. 2:2-4).
T HE prophet looks into the future
to that glorious and blessed day
when the nations shall have learned
to live in peace and righteousness,
when war shall be no more, and
the worship of God shall be the de
sire and the joy of men.
When will that day come? Will it
be brought in by the efforts of the
church, or by conferences of nation
al leaders? Not for a moment would
we minimize the value of every true
effort to spread peace and righteous
ness through the earth. We honor
those who faithfully try to bring con
cord in the affairs of men.
But the clear teaching of Scrip
ture, which has been so abun
dantly proved by experience, is
that we can expect the delightful
condition of which Isaiah speaks
only when the Prince of Peace
himself has returned to reign,
namely, our Lord and Saviour and
coming King, Jesus Christ. We
look for that day!
In that blessed time Israel shall
worship the Lord in the beauty of
holiness, even as their history under
the hand of God in days past was
one of true worship of the Lord.
Here again they made an endur
ing contribution to the life of the
world. Then note their witness to
IH. The Effective Work of God
(Mic. 6:1-8).
W E HAVE here words of anoth
er Hebrew prophet. He speaks
of God’s plain dealings with his peo
ple, his judgment upon their sin,
and the need of a careful and a
worthy walk before him.
Back of all the admonition and
appeal is the remembrance of how
God had worked on behalf of Israel,
delivering them from bondage, giv
ing them effective leaders, going be
fore them in battle, in fact, prov
ing his goodness and love by his
mighty works.
Israel’s service for God and
man is an example of what God
can and will do for those who
obey him and walk with him. It
is equally true that they thus re
veal the inevitable judgment
which comes upon a sinful and
disobedient nation. Let us not miss
that lesson, for we need it today.
