THE POLK COUNTY NEWS, TRYON, N. C. An Awkward 1 Position ! By REV. I H. RALSTON Secretary of Correspondenca Department, Moody Bible iattituto of Chicago JU h ?rT,DiT I not see thee in 4116 garden with him? John 18:26. Peter's position as indicated by this question depends on two or three things; :he person to whom" it was addressed, , the person referred to in the closing pro noun, and the cir cumstances that the question in volved. The per son addressed was Peter, the .person referred to in the closing pronoun was Jesus, the c i r c u m stances were about these: Jesus was on trial before the Roman governor; Peter was in an outer hall way warming himself by a fire; one of the maids connected with the house hold of the governor recognized Peter as one that she had seen in the gar den of Gethsemane with Jesus and she at once accused him of being a disciple of Jesus by asking the aues- . tion of the text. Out of, the question mat indicated Peter's position grow some helpful suggestions. Companionship Indicates Discipleshlp. If Peter was with Jesus he was prima facie his disciple. When Jesus was gathering his disciples his fre quent word was, "Follow me." We read that Matthew left all and fol lowed Jesus, and so with other disci ples. "Sell that thou hast and fol low me." ' "Whosoever will come after me let him deny himself and take up Lis cross and follow me." We find that the disciples attached themselves to the person of Jesus because they were his disciples or learners, keeping within easy reach of' the great teacher's voice. Jesus Christ does not ask this mark of discipleship with out guaranty of reciprocal companion ship. He fulfilled to the letter the promise, "I will never leave thee nor forsake thee." Disciple Cannot Escape Recognition. Christians are marked men, not with the stigma such as St. Francis fan cied he carried, but with marks easily discovered by the world. A professor In a theological seminary, addressing a new class entering the institution, startled them by saying, "You are marked men." They soon found out that on the streets, in the stores, in social circles and elsewhere, they were recognized as theologues. The disciple of Christ are usually marked by a public union with the Christian church and thus recognized as church members. The world primarily under stands that church membership means true discipleship, however false many church members are to their vows; yet the least distinguishing mark of the Christian is his profession. He must bear about with him every day the marks of the Lord Jesus as Paul did. He must be always doing the will of God, going about doing good, mani festing his true character as a servant of all, and showing the spirit of self sacrifice, even unto death. Test of Discipleship. The test of Peter's discipleship here was the most trying one that could have been put on him, and at the same time it gave him an opportunity of showing the true fiber of his character and thus proclaiming his loyalty to his master. It is not difficult to be a Christian on the Lord's day or in the revival meeting, but it is difficult to be a Christian when one is surrounded by drunkards, profane swearers and the licentious. It was a hard thing for a believer to be a Christian in Rome, for that city was infamous in its im morality. It was hard for Peter to be sincere where he was, and this difficul ty primarily had its root in his folly In being where he ought not to have been. The greatest pains the Chris tian suffers are the. reproofs he re ceivesfrom the world because of his inconsistencies. " There is a peculiar delight among the people of the world in casting up the inconsistencies of Christians to them. Peter was true enough in the garden, but before the servants he was as false as a man could be. He was brave enough in the garden, but before the kitchen, maid he was timid. But it is before the world that the best testimony can be made, indeed, it is the Christian's business to witness In a world of sin. The testimony of the master himself was given in the world, and for two thousand years that testimony has stood and is as ef fective today as when first given. Even the memory of Jesus Christ, as we might say the tradition of Jesus Christ, has a place in the world that nothing else can take. Ease of Apostasy. And there is an Incidental sugges tion in connection with Peter's base denial, in that the step from close companionship with Jesus Christ to apostasy is not a long one. Peter was in a true sense a primate among the disciples, yet his base denial of bisTLord is told as widely as the per fidy of Judas Iscariot himself. rest in any relationship to Jesus Christ Tth too great confidence Is joTuremus. MAYONNAISE EASY TO MAKE Popular Dressing Has Wrongly Been Considered Too Difficult for the Busy Cook. . The making of mayonnaise dressing Aras formerly regarded as a very trou blesome affair. Exceptional cooks or housewives, it is true, would assert that It was no trouble, once the knack was acquired; but as a rule it was not i popular dressing with busy cooks. The reason was not far to seek. In the first place, tradition held that if mayonnaise dressing curdled it must be thrown out and a new mixture started; and, as it often curdles, this was not a -cheerful prospect to face when time was short. In the second place, tradition asserted that good mayonnaise could be made only by adding the oil drop by drop a lengthy and troublesome process. Tradition in both instances was wrong, if the mayonnaise curdles, an egg yolk should be broken into a clean bowl and beaten thoroughly and the curdled mixture added to this drop. In this way the mayonnaise will be recovered. The three-minute mixture that saves the tedious drop-by-drop process is made as follows: Measure out the salt and mustard into a bowl and add a whole egg, both yolk and white. Beat this mixture thoroughly and then add one-third of a cupful of oil, all at once., Beat this until it begins to thicken, then add an other third of a cupful of oil. This makes a fairly thin mayonnaise. If a thickerj one is desired more oil must be added, making a cupful of oil in all; beat until very stiff, then set the bowl on ice until the dressing is wanted. Mayonnaise made by this process is less likely to curdle than that made in the old way, and the mixture is quite as good. A bowl or jar of mayonnaise will keep for some time if put in the re frigerator, and it is very useful to have on hand. It is well to remember, too, that a mayonnaise can be trans formed into a tartare sauce by the ad dition of chopped gherkins and capers. Therefore it is economy in time so to plan your menus that a fish dish served with a tartare sauce is fol lowed the next day by a salad requir ing a mayonnaise dressing, or vice versa. FOR USE IN THE LAUNDRY Best Soap Is That Made of Fat and an Alkali Excellent for Disin fecting Clothing. The best laundry soap, (made of fat and an alkali) is, during the proc ess of making, kneaded like' .dough. This admits air into the soap and causes it to float when hardened. A soap that floats dissolves easily in wa ter and is excellent for disinfecting purposes. The alkali and the salts of the fat acids combine with the water and this solution readily penetrates porous substances and adheres to solid surfaces, killing any . fully developed bacteria that it touches Such a soap solution combined with boiling water Is invaluable for disin fecting clothing from the sick room, where there has been an infectious disease. Pour the boiling water and soap solution down the pipes of the kitchen sink and the bathroom con nections. Use it once a week at least for cleansing the garbage receptacle. The solution may be used for disin fecting floors. Have one pail of the soap and water and another of clean hot water. Scrub the floor and base board with a stiff brush dipped in the soap and water, rinsing the brush carefully in the hot water after each application. Today's Magazine: Strawberries in Jelly. Make some lemon jelly with one pint of water, six small or four large lemons, ten ounces of sugar, about an ounce Of gelatin and one wineglass of sherry wine. Squeeze the juice from the lemons on the sugar, adding the water, and, when dissolved, strain It and add the gelatin which, has been dissolved. Pour this into small folds or cups and set on ice to harden. When ready to serve, turn them carefully from the cups and cut out the cen ter, which is to be filled with choice berries and whipped cream. Rice Meringue. Cook half a cupful of rice in one quart of milk until tender, and the yolks of four eggs beaten until light and mixed with half a teaspoonful of salt and half a cupful of sugar; cook two minutes longer, then remove from the fire, flayjor with two teaspoonfuls of vanilla and turn into a baking dish. Beat the whites of the eggs until stiff, fold in three tablespoonfuls of 'pow dered sugar, flavor' with a few drops of lemon. Spread this over the pudding md brown lightly. . Vanilla lee Cream. Two quarts of milk, two cans con densed milk, one-half pint of cream, one tablespoonful vanilla and very lit tle, if any, sugar. This is smooth and fine grated. Coffee ice cream is made In the same way by using three pints of milk and one pint of strong coffee. Strawberry Sauce. Crush a large cupful of strawberries and mix with half a cupful of granu lated sugar. Whip a cupful of cream till very stiff. Then stir the straw berries lightly into it Preserving Rhubarb: Just wash it and cut in small pieces. Put In jars all it will hold, then fill up with cold water until it runs over. Put covers on.
