Faith tu Our Youth And Our
VI or Id Os Today
We may be old fashioned, but, we still
believe in the innate goodness of the
citizens of our town, our county and our
nation. We refuse to believe with some
who are always ranting about the youth
of today going to the dogs. We believe
in the youth of today, for one reason, be
cause they are more informed. They have
more opportunities to learn both the good
and the bad, then we older persons had in
our time.
We believe that there are just as good
parents today as there were fifty years
ago. Those things which happened fifty
years ago did not receive the immediate
and startling publicity which they receive
today. It seems that any crime or offense
committed by the younger people receives
more publicity than it should. There were
just as many crimes committed fifty years
ago, per capita, as there are today.
We prefer to continue our belief in the
innate good of both young and old. There
are many reasons which tend to
solidify this relief of our minds. If you
will look in the obscure corners of our
newspapers, you will see that more peo
ple are concerned about the unfortunate
of our world than at any time in our his
tory. There are more societies and organi
zations that are taking conizance of those
who are to be the future citizens of to
morrow. There is a concerted effort of
the older people of today to make strong
er bodies, cleaner minds, and stronger
characters, by means of planned and sup
ervised reacreation and training.
These are the older parents, the fathers
and the grandfathers of the youth of to
day, and they are trying to make the
world just a little better for the youth of
tomorrow. The trend of the mind and the

ed. he did not threaten. I Peter
2:21.23.
Our Lord's struggle in the gar
den of Gethsemane had prepared
him spiritually for the ordeal of
crucifixion. In the garden his
agony of spirit amounted almost
to distraction. Although he had
long known what was in store
for him, he passionately pleaded
with the Father to allow the cup
to pass from him. When the Fath
er's answer was No. then the Son
was content. Since it was not the
Father’s will that the cup pass
from him, it was not his will.
In today's lesson we shall ob
serve one of history’s dramatic
events, with Jesus spiritually pre
pared to meet what came upon
him and the disciples spiritually
unprepared.
Our Lord had not suggested to
Peter. James, and John that they
join with him in intercession in
the garden; he had commanded
them to do so. Yet while he pray
ed, they slept; while he agonized,
hey took their rest.
Aft er Jesus was arrested, the
iisciples fled. Peter, fascinated by
what was going on and undoubt
edly moved by curosity, followed
afar off. The apostle John—prob
ably a young man and a member
of a family which enjoyed com
fortable financial circumstances
and some social standing—was
able to go into the building where
Jesus was being tried. He spoke
to the maid who kept the door
“and brought in Peter.” And amid
the enemies of Jesus, Peter
warmed himself at the fire. The
flames lighted up his features.
He found himself surrounded by
a multitude of men and a few
women who had nothing but
words of contempt and hatred for
his Master.
This was poor company for a
disciple of Jesus. Thrice accused
of being a disciple of the Naz
arene, Peter thrice denied.
His last last denial was accom
panied with oaths. The crowing of
the cock—recalling to Peter's
mind the Lord’s prediction—and
the look of pain and pity which
Jesus directed toward his un
faithful friend sent Peter out in
to the night, weeping bitterly.
Again we must remind our
selves that Peter was spiritually
unprepared tn meet the awful
(Our Advertisers Are Assured Os Results)
trend of thinking has a great bearing on
the conduct of our citizens of today. “As
a man thinketh in his hear, so is he”.
These words are just as applicable today
as they were in the time of Solomon. We
think people of today should cease criti
cizing citizens of tomorrow and begin to
take pride in those worthwhile things in
which they are occupied. There are more
young people today interested in more
good things than at any time in our his
tory, in our opinion. If we older people,
will quit knocking, and go to boosting, we
can accomplish much. Young people are
weary of being eternally criticized be
cause a few of their number commit
crimes. There is much more crime com-i
mitted by older people than by younger
people. “Whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are just, whatsoever
things are lovely, whatsoever things are
of good report, think on these things”. As
long as we think on these things, we will
cease to criticize not only the youth, but
tthe citizens of our town, our country and
and our nation.
We can always find those things for
which we seek. We can find the evil in
others if we seek to find evil; but, we can
also find the good if that is what we seek.
We may be an optimist, in fact we are
happy that we can claim that privilege.
We will continue to believe the youth of
today will make fine citizens of tomorrow,
until it has been proven otherwise. In this
day and time when there are so many
things which can be said, and so many
things which can be criticized, we trust
our prayers will remain as David’s in the
19th. Ssalm, “Let the words of nr mouth
and the meditation of my hear ac
ceptable in Thy sight.”
crisis whic h his Lord was able'to
meet with equanimity and cour
age. His unwillingness to be
watchfull in prayer led him to
follow Jesus afar off (which usu
ally is as bad as not following
him at all) and led him to in
gratitude, falsehood, profanity,
and denial.
The lessons here are many.
Peter’s frightful denial cries out
to you and me saying, “Man, be
humble.” It warns the Christian
disciple against associating with
his Lord’s enemies. The cockcrow
corresponds to the call of consci
ence, by which we are warned of
moral danger.
One thing more needs to be
said: Peter was saved and could
be saved only by a power outside
himself. It was not revulsion of
feeling or the triumph of Peter’s
better self that brought about
spiritual regeneration. It was
Peter's consciousness of his moral
hopelessness, the crowing of the
cock, the agonizing glance which
his Lord directed toward him. and
that resurrection appearance
which Jesus vouche-safed to Pet
er privately—a thing so deeply
sacred that Peter seems never to
have disclosed to anyone the de
tails of what happened and What
was said.
Annas, high priest during the
boyhood of Jesus, headed a fam
ily of about as corrupt, cynical,
and unspiritual a lot of ec
clesiastics as ever afflicted the
life of any generation. Each of
his five sons became high priest,
and his son-in-law Caiphas was
high priest when Jesus was ar
rested. Jesus was taken first to
old Annas and later sent bound to
Caiphas.
Here was a group of men from
whom all sense of the high call
j ing of secred office had departed.
At first Jesus refused to an
swer the accusation and ques
tions hurled against him. At last
the high priest said: “I adjure
thee by the living God, that thou
, tell us whether thou art the
Christ, the Son of God.” because
( of the authority of the high priest,
Jesus was under obligation to
make a response. The response
he made sent him to the cross.
He admitted that he was the
Christ and added: “Henceforth
ye shall see the Son of man sit
ting at the right hand of Power,
and coming on the clouds of
i heaven ’ (Matt. 26:64).
To those present, Jesus was be
ing tried by his enemies; to the
host of heaven and to the dis
cerning of succeeding centuries,
, hig enemies were being tried by
him.
We have considered Peter,
Judas, the other disciple d the
chief priests as they plc their
different parts in the pgedy
which took place the night Jesus
was betrayed, forsaken, and tried.
One more figure needs to be
examined—Pilate.
Pilate very evidently believed
Jesus innocent of the charges
brought against him by the Jews.
He perceived their malice and
made a real attempt to save from
death this Jesus, for whom he
seems to have had both a con
temptuous pity and a certain
superstitious admiration. He
plied the JeWs with the question,
"What accusation bring ye
against this man?” He saw
through the trumped-up charges
they brought against Jesus. Yet
never once did he manifest
character enough to stand up and
do what he knew to be right.
Matthew tells us (27:24) that
when Pilate saw that he prevail
ed nothing against the Jews, “but
rather that a tumult was arising,
he took water, and washed his
hands before the multitude, say
ing, ’ am innocent of the blood of
this righteous man.”
The cruel Roman procurator at
last handed Jesus over to the sol
diers, who scourged him. The sol
diers “platted a crown of thorns,
and put it on his head, and ar
rayed him in a purple garment”
and bowing before him did mock
obeisance and then spitefully
struck him with their hands.”
Pilate then led forth Jesus,
bruised and bleeding, "wearing
the crowm of thorns and the pur
ple garment,” and to the people
Pilate said, “Behold, the man!”
“Behold, the man!” said Pilate.
Yea. behold him. And what do W'e
see? First of all we see a hero,
the bravest one that ever lived.
Then we see a wise perceiver of
the nature of life, both divine and
human, the Man who in his aton
ing death revealed to men the
principle of sacrifice and by the
greatness of his own sacrifice
made himself available for the
world’s salvation.
Pilate pitied this poor dream
er. He called Jesus a man. This
sophisticated Roman did not
realize that the Man of the ages
was standing at his side.
Pilate represented earthly pow
er; Jesus represented spiritual
power. Pilate and his ilk reduce
civilizations to rubble; Jesus has
been the light of twenty cen
turies, and he promises us a new
heaven and a new earth where
in dwelleth righteousness.
When Pilate tried to intimidate
Jesus.and received the rejoinder,
“Thou w’ouldest have no power
against me, except it were given
thee from above.” Pilate was
astounded, rebuked, silenced.
Then with a little show of cour-

I3OD TIPS
GOOD cooks use pickles many
ways.
We aren't just thinking of the
tangy pickles that do so much
to liven up short cuts, but of the
pickle as a splendid ingredient
for dishes that have that certain
something. Housewives who se
lect new recipes not only because '
they “sound” good and promise
to be delicious, but because they |
have special nutritive value, will 1
be glad to learn that pickles are
packed full of vitamins, and that
they do not lose any of their;
quality in cooking. So, having
paid our tribute to the pickle, let’s '
get on with some now and de
licious recipes.
Pineapple Pickle Sauce gives
that certain something to cod
fillets that even the usual scorn
er of fish will encore. To serve 4,'
melt 2 tbsp, table fat; blend in
in tbsp, flour, tsp. dry mustard,
1/4 tsp. parika and 1/2 tsp. salt, j
Gradually stir in 1/4 c. each pine- .
apple juice and water and 1/2 c.;
cucumber pickle liquid. Add 1/2
c. each fresh cucumber pickle
slices and 11/2 lb. cod fillets in
greased baking dish; add sauce.
Bake at 400 F. for 20 to 25 min.,
basting occasionally.
Halibut Pickle Casserole to
serve 4-6 comes next. Melt 8 tbsp,
table fat over low heat; blend in
3 tbsp, flour, 3/4 tsp. salt and 1/8
tsp. pepper. Remove from heat;
gradually stir in 11/2 c. milk.
Cook, stirring constantly until
thickened and smooth. Stir in 2 c. ,
flaked, boiled halibut, 1/3 c. sweet
pickle relish and 1/4 c. diced pi
mento. Turn into greased cas
serole; top with 1/2 c. buttered
breadcrumbs. Bake at 350 for 30
min.

GARDEN PEAS
A mulch of pine needles has
been found especially good for
garden peas. The needles are ex
cellent for keeping roots cool,
1 thus prolonging the bearing sea
son, and also for keeping down
weeds.
LEADING ACCIDENTS
Falls were reported as the lead
ing type of accident to farm peo
ple in all regions last year. They ■
accounted for a fourth of all ac- j
cidents, while those involving
machines and animals were next, |
accounting for about an eighth
I of all accidents.
ACCIDENT RATE
The South showed a lower rate
of farm accidents last year than
any other region, with an average
of 27 out of every 1,000 persons
suffering a disabling injury at
some time during the year.
