EVERYTHING FOR HER NEW KITCHEN
(See Recipes Below)
It E ALLY PRACTICAL!
Whether the bride-to-be is bound
for a six-room "dream house" or
for a one-room kitchenette apart
ment, you can't go wrong if you give
her a kitchen shower . . . one that's
practical, of course!
And. knowing that some of you
are anxious for new, clever, unusual
ways to entertain, I'm ready with
plans for a kitchen shower that's
really different!
In Chicago's huge Merchandise
Mart, where buyers from all over I
me country come
to purchase kitch
enware, I found a
variety of inex
pensive, yet dura
ble gadgets which
anyone about to
be married would
love.
io make the party practically all
play and no work for the hostess, I
decided to place the gifts on the ta
ble (see picture lit top of column).
When luncheon is over, everything
is hers!
The tablecloth is of a fancy new
type oilcloth, and the place mats
and napkins are none other than dish
cloths.
An angel food cake pan serves as
the base for a "gadget bouquet" cen
terpiece of measuring spoons and
cup. carving set, sugar scoop,
funnel, spatulas, pancake turner,
strainer, tea ball, grater and other
vital kitchen helpers.
The plates are pie tins. The Hat
ware is a very inexpensive kind with
gaily-colored plastic handles. And
note the spice jars to the right
which, because they're to be gifts,
hold salt and pepper while doing
table duty. They're from the Grif
fith laboratories.
The first course of the luncheon is
a tart "Cardinal Salad, set on the
'able right in its aluminum ring
mold. A tasty Beef Stew in a cas
serole follows. Iced tea is poured
from a tall aluminum pitcher into
matching "glasses." And rolls, all
buttered, are served from a com

your party, and conversation,

a clever game that suits a bridal
shower to a "T."
To each guest pass a slip of
paper titled "Things Found in the

(7) pavndorte, (8) blaet, (9) nur

(12) pocarbud.
Ask each person to rearrange
the letters in each of these 12
words to make them spell an
article of furniture that would be
likely to appear in the bride's
new home.
The answers are (1) range, (2)

FIRST JERUSALEM CONFER
ENCE ON WORI.U MISSIONS
LESSON TEXT? Acts 13:0-11.
GOLDEN TEXT ? Dut we beUev* that
through the grace of the Lord Jesus Chrtst !
we shall be saved, even ts they.? Acts 15:11.
The conference on missions in
Jerusalem was not the result of an
appeal to a ruling church organiza
tion for a decision, but rather a gath
ering of the bpicvers from Antloch
with those in Jerusalem to confer
regarding a serious difference of
opinion. The earliest converts to
Christianity were Jews, who had
come by the way of Judaism into
their r.ew faith in Christ. But now,
through the preaching of Paul and
SarnuuGS, coriuin Ccmilcs had be
lieved in Christ. Their new-found
joy was soon beclouded by a theo
logical problem. Certain tcachcrs
from Judea (Acts 15:1) declared
that the Gentiles were not saved un
less they came into the Christian
faith the way of the fullfillment of the
Jewish law. Paul and Barnabas at
once realized that this was
I. The Vital Question ? Is Salva
tion by Grace or Works? (vv. 7-11;
see ulsu vv. 1-5).
Paul and his fellow workers had
rightly apprehended God's plan of
salvation apart from works of the
law. Pau! realized that the entire
future of the gospel ministry was in
a sense dependent on the solution of
this problem. Christianity is the
only religious faith in the world that
presents justification by grace as the
way of redemption; all others follow
(more or less) the path of salvation
by works.
The question now was: Shall
works of the law be mingled with
grace ? can Jesus Christ alone save
men, or is salvation through Jesus
Christ plus something else?
II. The Christian Solution ? Coun
cil Rather Than Controversy (vv. 6,
7, 12-18).
There may be times when it be
comes the duty of the Christian
worker to take an uncompromising
stand for the truth of God and refuse
to be moved, come what may. But
certainly there should be no such
spirit in dealing with differing in
terpretations of Scripture on the part
of sincere and earnest Christian
brethren. How much would be
gained in the Church today if, in
stead of magnifying differences and
permitting personal desires ana am
bitions to intervene, men were will
ing to sit down in the spirit of Christ
around the tables of Christian coun
cil and brotherhood, presided ever
and directed by the Holy Spirit (see
Acts 15:28).
The whole question was honestly
and earefully considered by the
council at Jerusalem, with the result
that there was a vindication of the
preachers of God's grace.
James finally spoke, giving the
conclusion to which the Holy Spirit
had led the conference (see v. 28). j
Here for all the future we have
III. The God-Given Answer ? Sal
vation Is by Grace (vv. 19-21; see
also vv. 22-35).
In his epistle to the Ephesians
(Eph. 2:8, 9), Paul succinctly states !
this truth: "By grace are ye saved
through faith; and that not of your
selves: it is the gift of God: not
of works, lest any man should
boast." The teaching of Scripture
is very plain on this point, and we
do well to receive it in all its beauty
and grace.
Let us observe, however, that the
decision in Jerusalem, while it laid
no further burden on these Gentile j
believers (v. 28), did quite properly
require of them that, as those who
had been saved by grace, they must
"walk in newness of life" (Rom.
o:4) which they had in Christ. Paul
had the same thought in mind when
he supplemented Ephesians 2:8 and
9 with verse 10, declaring that God
has ordained that we should walk
'in good works."
There arc two opposite tendencies
(both of which are wrong) in this j
matter, which consistently hurt the
Christian church. The one which we
have already stressed tries to mix
works with grace, making salvation
either entirely or partially by works. |
Sad to say, some who have soughi
to avoid this error have gone to the
opposite extreme and have done vio
lence to God's plan of salvation by
making grace an excuse for sin,
using their freedom from law as a
justification of lawlessness. We are
God's "workmanship, created in
Christ Jesus unto good works" (Eph.
1:10).

< ?iil Mining With Ice
The modern miner has the as
sistance of a new agent to help
him in his job. He can bore a
hole, stick a piece of dry ice in
j it, and seal it. The me'tmg ice
| then generates a powerful gas
which soon attains such a pres
sure that it acts like an explosive
and blasts the coal face. Miners
are not the only people to harness
the energy in dry ice. Drillers
are now using it to clean their
wells, and nurserymen pack the
roots of trees with it when they
want to do heavy transplanting.
The earth solidifies and comes
away leaving roots undamaged.
Dry ice is used for deadening
the skin in local operations, in the
engineering ?vorld and, of course,
for refrigeration. It is a danger
ous substance to handle, "burns"
if in contact with bare skin, and
! it should never be used to chill
; drinking water, for if swallowed
even a tiny particle might causo
serious injury.

flre Women Better
Shoppers than Men ?
GRANTING a woman's reputation for wise buying, let's trace the
methods by which she has earned it. Where does she find out about
the advantages and details of electrical refrigeration?What tells her
how to keep the whole household clean ? rugs, floors, bathroom
tiling ? and have energy left over for golf and parties? How docs
she learn about new and delicious entrees and desserts that surprise
and delight her family? Where docs she discover those subtleties
of dress and make-up that a man appreciates but never understands?
Why, she reads the advertisements. She is a consistent, thought
ful reader of advertisements, because she has found that she can
believe them ? and profit thereby. Overlooking the advertisements
would be depriving herself of data continuously useful in her job
of Purchasing Agent to the Family.
For that matter, watch a wise man buy a car or a suit or an insur
ance policy. Not a bad shopper himself! He reads advertisements, too!
