North Carolina Family
Lives on Soy Bean Diet
It used to be that a self-respecting
cow wouldn’t eat the lowly soy bean
unless it was exceedingly hungry.
But today this once-detestable food
is being made to perform a variety
of dietetic functions at the home of
Jay N. Judd of Asheville, N. C.
Judd is a farmer. He also is one
of the growing battalion of men who
have taken upon themselves the job
of preaching this gospel; “The soy
bean is the greatest health food on
earth. Eat it." And Judd practices
what he preaches.
In some form, soy bean is the base
—and often an embellishment—of
three meals a day seven days a
week in the Judd household.
He’s manufacturing about two
dozen different products from the
peanut-sized bean, and that’s just a
beginning of what he hopes to do.
Judd says there’s a ‘‘gold mine"
for the South in this crop if the peo
ple can be convinced that the bean
is good. Extensive consumption of
the bean, he asserted, has greatly
improved his health.
"There was an old automobile
parked out in the garage that 1
didn't have any use for. So I rigged
it up with a mill I'd bought and
started feeding this contraption with
soy beans I'd bought from farmers."
Since that time, hundreds of
bushels of soy beans have passed
through the mill making the flour
from which a strange assortment of
foods is derived.
"There’s soy bean milk, for in
stance,” Judd said. "Not only docs
it look like cow's milk, but it actual
ly curdles when it gets a few days
old. From this milk my wife makes
cottage cheese, butter and several
other things.
"Then there’s soy bean oil. We
use that for making mayonnaise,
seasoning cakes, flavoring salads
and ordinary cooking purposes.
"As a matter of fact, you can al
most add ‘soy boon’ to everything
we eat.”
Lad Awarded Six Cents
After ‘Loss’ of Tonsils
Edmund Sikorski of Goshen, N.
Y., 11 years old, received six cents
because a physician removed his
tonsils instead of stitches from a
lacerated hand. A Supreme court
jury awarded the* damages after
about an hour’s deliberation.
Testimony showed the youth en
tered the Goshen hospital about 10
days after cutting his hand. He had
been told by his physician to return
for removal of stitches. His older
brother, Henry, about 23, misun
derstood, however, when a nurse
asked if Edmund was “one of the
doctor’s tonsilactomy cases" and re
plied in the affirmative.
Edmund was then put under an
anesthetic and his tonsils were re
moved. The physician, who hud
several other tonsil operations on
his schedule that day, did not recog
nize the boy. He said the tonsils
were diseased and that the opera
tion was beneficial rather than
harmful.

ISAIAH GIVES GOD’S INVITATION
LESSON TEXT—lsnlih 55;M1.
GOLDEN TEXT—Seek ye the Lord while 1
he may be found, call ye upon him while he
Is near.—lsaiah 95:6.
Thirsty? A thousand signboards •
will tell you what to drink to refresh
yourself. Most of the suggestions
are there only to get your money, |
and often their proffered lift is a ■
push downward and their refresh
ment is only a prelude to destruc
tion. But they do declare that thirst
is universally present. Throughout
the Bible thirst is used to express
man’s need of and longing for God.
He is a spiritual being made in the
likeness and image of God and in
tended for fellowship with Him.
Never will he be fully satisfied until I
he comes to God and meets his hun- 1
ger and thirst with that "which is
good."
The invitation of Isaiah is present
ed under the figure of a purchase,
“Come ye, buy.” In carrying out
that thought we suggest that there
are four steps in buying and using
anything.
I. Listen (v. 1).
"Ho, everyone that thirsteth.”
This is as Spurgeon says “the cry
of a salesman at a fair.” Amid the
confusing sounds and disturbing
sights surrounding his customer the
salesman must make himself known ,
and catch the interest of his cus
tomer. The latter must listen to the
offer and the recommendation of the I:
things for sale. j
This is an unusual offer. Isaiah
invites the buyer to make his pur- ]<
chase "without money and without
price.” Does that mean that the
thing for sale is cheap or worthless?
Far from it, for it is priceless. Sal
vation is free for the sinner, but it (
cost God the price of His only begot
ten Son, It is because Jesus paid
the price of redemption that we may :
have it freely without cost,
11. Compare (vv. 2-5). *
A good shopper compares values 1
lest he make a bad bargain or buy 1
that for which he has no real need. I i
What is the situation of the one vrho !
is invited to buy what God offers? I j
He is a sinner who has been fool- i (
ishly seeking to satisfy himself with i |
what the world has to offer. With
money he has tried to buy happi
ness, contentment, recognition. The
bread of this world will never satisfy 1
and the water of this world only in- t
creases one’s thirst. (See John 4: i
13, 14.) i
Compare what God has to offer, (
“that which is good,” that which
delights the soul (v. 2). Here is I
life (v. 3) assured by the promise ,!
of One who made an "everlasting
covenant” with David, assuring him
•f His "sure mercies." It results in
ultimate glory (v. 5).
The one who honestly makes such
a comparison is quickly satisfied •
that the time has come to
HI. Buy (vv. 6-9). *
Penniless, the sinner may "buy"
without money. Ho may call upon | (
God, for God has already called him. I]
He may seek God, because He like j
the good shepherd has been out seek- ;
ing the lost sheep (Matt. 18:12). (
While man can certainly not save (
himself, there are things which God
expects the sinner to do. First, he i
is to “seek the Lord." Where? (
Right at your side, sinner, for “he i
is near" (v. 6). Then when the sin- 1
ner meets the Lord he is at once i
conscious of his sin. What shall 1
he do with it? Forsake it in both
thought and deed (v. 7) and God 1
will "abundantly pardon." Observe <
that men may by their sinful rejec- 1
tion of Him bring themselves to the
place where they not only do not '
listen to God’s call, but actually do
not want to hear it. "Seek ye the ;
Lord while he may be found" (v. 6).
IV. Enjoy (vv. 10, 11). !
Some foolish folk buy things and j i
put them away where neither they ;
nor anyone else can enjoy them.
\ Some worry so much about the price
they paid or are so concerned about ;
the preciousness of the thing pur- 1
chased that they find no pleasure in
j using it.
Salvation is not a thing to be
! hidden or put on a shelf. In fact,
j it is not a thing at all, but a life.
| It is lo grow, to bud, to blossom and
1 to bear fruit. How? By being ready
to receive God’s Word which comes
down like the rain from the heavens, 1
i refreshing, encouraging, and fructi
fying the life of the believer.
God’s Word never returns to Him
i void. He prospers it to accomplish
His own purpose. But pray tell me,
if we never study it or even read
it, how can it help our lives? We
"grow in grace” only as we grow
. I “in the knowledge of our Lord and
. Saviour Jesus Christ” (II Pet. 3:18).
. | We grow in knowledge as we study
God’s Word. Thus we come to enjoy
! our Christian life.
i Healing Powers
i There came also a multitude out
of the cities round about unto Jcru
i salem, bringing sick folks, and them
which were vexed with unclean spir
i its and they were healed every om.
