: |B “My two best years,” Cobb said,
| 9 "were 1911 and 1912, when I was
28 and 27 years old.”
||| ii, e records proved this. In 1911
9 fobb hatted .420, scored 147 runs
9 and stole 83 bases. In 1912 Cobb
9 batted .410 and stole 61 bases. In
9 1515 Cobh stole 96 bases, which is
IB more than the entire cast of two ball
9 clubs will steal today.
9 “When I was around 26,” Ty said,
9 "I had the experience that comes
■ from eight years of play—l started
9at 18—and I also had the spring of
9 youth. At that age the eyes and
9 legs are still young. The reflexes
9 work perfectly. As I got a few
9 years older I noticed that while I
9 could run about as fast as ever, I
■ couldn't start as fast. And the start
9 is a big part of speed.”
9 In those two big years Cobb piled
■up 475 hits. And starting speed
■ was a big factor in this total.
9 "There have been a lot of ball
9 players,” Ty added, “who got bet
-9 ter as they grew older. But the av
-9 era S e winning year is still around
26. Walter Johnson had many great
9 years. But his best season was in
9 1913 when, as I dimly recall it, Wal
-9 lee w°n 36 games and had an earned
9nm average of 1.09. Think of that!
And he won those 36 games with a
fl weak-hitting club that rarely got him
9 many runs. In 1913 Johnson was
9 26 years old. I had to hit
9 against him then and I know what
9 he had. No one before or since has
9 ever had such terrific speed. You
9 knew a fast ball was coming, but
9 that didn’t help a lot. It was too
9 fast.”
9 So there you have Ty Cobb and
9 Walter Johnson with the age of 26,
9 Painting to their twin peaks.
9 Sob Feller, now 22, should be a

chool Lesson
By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D. D.
Dean of The Moody Bible Institute
,t> , . of Chicago.
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
S. S. Lesson for May 4
i»^. e !. son subjects and Scripture texts se

the church enlarging its
FELLOWSHIP
LESSON TEXT—Acts 8:1-8, 14-17, 25.
GOLDEN TEXT Therefore they that
were scattered abroad went everywhere
preaching the word.—Acts 8:4.
In a time characterized by ma
terialism and commercialism, it is
refreshing to consider the manner
in which the early church spread
the gospel far and wide. They did
this without thought of personal gain
or advantage, and with a sacrificial
devotion to Christ which caused men
and women to be willing to die for
Him, and, what may sometimes be
even harder, to live for Him in the
face of persecution. Here was loy
alty that puts expediency to shame,
and sacrifice of self for Christian
principle which needs emphasis in
this “soft” age.
The enlarging of the church is re
vealed by our lesson as being
I. By Death or by Life (vv. 1-4).
Stephen, one of the deacons, “a
man full of faith and of the Holy
Ghost” (6:5), was stoned because
of his testimony for Christ. He be
came the first martyr of the church,
leading the line of those noble men
and women who down to our own
day have been ready to die rather
than to deny Christ. The day may
not be too far distant when some of
us may face that decision. Are we
ready?
To every one of us who is a Chris
tian comes the necessity of living
for Christ. Some in Jerusalem died
I (v. 2), some were imprisoned (v. 3),
; but notice that the others were scat
tered abroad, like brands from a
fire, carrying the message of God’s
Word. They were not afraid, did
not go into hiding, nor did they “ad
just” their message to meet the cir
cumstances. They went “every
where preaching the word.”
While persecution may sometimes
hinder the spread of the gospel, it
also frequently stirs the zeal of
God’s people to preach smd teach.
Just now in the midst of the havoc
of war and persecution the good
news of salvation is spreading in
lands which hitherto knew it not.
Are you and I doing our part?
11. By Preaching That Brought
Joy (vv, 5-8).
Philip, a layman (the first of
many great evangelists) and a Jew,
went to the despised Samaritans
with the gospel, and God so signally
blessed his ministry that a great re
vival broke out and “there was
much joy in the city.”
What we need is more gospel
preaching and teaching. You lay
men, please note that you are not to
wait for the preacher to do it.
Spread the good news yourself. And
note too that it is to be preached to
all people, even to those whom we
might (humanly speaking) be tempt
ed to despise, either by reason of
race or position in life. It was a
glorious thing that happened to Phil
ip in Samaria. It can happen again,
and “it can happen here.”
111. By Fellowship That Brought
Blessing (vv, 14-17).
When the church at Jerusalem
heard what had happened in Sama
ria, they were overjoyed, and sent
two of their leaders, Peter and John,
to encourage and counsel with the
new converts.
Such fellowship always brings
blessing, and in this case it was un
usual blessing: namely, the gift of
the Holy Spirit. On this occasion
God thus gave these new Samaritan
believers the blessing and power of
the Holy Spirit in such away as to
bind them in fellowship to the church
in Jerusalem. Jew and Gentile be
lievers in Christ thus were joined in
one communion of love and faith.
IV. By Broadened Vision That
Brought Action (v. 25).
Peter and John had completed
their work in Samaria and were on
their way home to Jerusalem, but
what they had seen had given them
a new vision. They acted on that
vision, and as they passed through
the villages of Samaria they
“preached the gospel” with joyful
hearts. What an interest and stir
they must have created!
It is one thing to see an oppor
tunity and a need; it is quite an
other to do something about it. For
that, one needs determination of pur
pose. As Lloyd George put it, “You
cannot fight a winning battle with a
retreating mind.” These apostles
were reaching out for God, and un
der His leadership and blessing, into
the villages of Samaria.
The Christian church needs more
real consecrated action; that is, in
the name of Christ and for His
glory. The business man who con
ducts his secular affairs with en
thusiasm and dispatch, often forgets
all that in his church duties. He
advertises and seeks new markets
for his goods, but is not interested
1 in the outreach of the church. He
can get excited about the Rotary
Club or the Lions or what not, but
never develops the slightest enthu
siasm about the Lord’s work. It
goes without saying that such a
“picture” is all out of focus. Let’s
make it right. Vision? Yes, by all
means. But also action for God.

THRIFT CUTS—MORE MEAT FOR YOUR MONEY
(See Recipes Below)
MEATS FOR BUDGET MEALS
If you’re meat-wise, then you’re
budget-wise! For the less expensive
cuts of meat have
I ..a’s^MS mins, body-build
ing proteins and minerals as the
more expensive ones. When you
buy a chuck roast instead of chops;
hamburger instead of steak; or baby
beef liver instead of calves liver,
your economy isn’t depriving your
family or guests of even a teeny,
weeny bit of food value. That’s the
verdict of nutrition experts. And
they know.
Economy in purchasing meat
comes from knowing the wide vari
ety of different meat cuts available,
and from purchasing some of the
cuts which are not in greatest de
mand. For example, a pot roast of
beef, delicious as it is and as much
as it is enjoyed by everyone, sells
for considerably less per pound than
a rib roast of ~
beef. The reason, today
of course, is that CHUCK
there is a greater pQAST
demand for rib cfj*
You’ll surely be / T
pleased, and sur- Vafe*,
prised, too, at the
way you can save |yggfr ?
money on your
food budget, at the same time add
ing variety to both your family and
company meals, by following to
day’s penny-pincher recipes.
♦Stuffed Shoulder of Lamb.
How to Buy: Good quality lamb is
pinkish and well-marbled with fat.
Outside fat is smooth, hard, glossy
and cream-white. Look for both gov
ernment inspection stamp and pack
er’s private grade stamp. Find the
grade that suits you, then always
buy it. Ask your meat man to bone
the shoulder, leaving a cavity to fill
with stuffing. (You can use the
bones for broth, soup or gravy
stock.)
How to Cook: Prepare a well-sea
soned stuffing; fill cavity, then sew
up edges or skewer in place. Weigh
meat after stuffing to compute cook
ing time. Place fat side up on rack
in open pan, rub with salt and pep
per. Cook in slow oven (325 de
grees F.), allowing about 35 min
utes per pound. Garnish with mint
leaves and a vegetable; serve. De
licious!
Dressing for Lamb.
2 slices bacon
2 cups bread crumbs
1 cup sour apples, chopped
1 cup raisins
Vz cup celery, chopped
Fry bacon until crisp and add to
bread crumbs, raisins, diced apples
and celery. Season with salt and
pepper and pile lightly into cavity
in lamb shoulder.
Eye-of-Round Roast.
How to Buy: The lean of beef
should be well-marbled with fat,
firm, smooth, glossy: soon after the
meat is cut, the surface should turn
bright red. The outer fat should
be fairly thick, firm, flaky, cream
white. In lower grades fat is soft
er, yellower. Though price per
pound will perhaps exceed that of
rib roast, it is all solid meat—no
bones, no fat, r.o waste of any kind.
LYNN SAYS:
Spread apple or crabapple jelly
over the top of roasting ham,
veal or pork for the last 30 min
utes. The jelly gives an appetiz
ing flavor and a glossy brown top.
Crumbled bacon adds a won
derful new flavor to cooked green
beans, yellow or white squash,
browned navy beans or spinach.
Add the bacon in the last 5 min
utes.
Long, slow cooking at a low
heat is the general rule for cook
ing the thrifty cuts of meat.
Ranking low on the butcher’s
price list but high in nutrition
are such meats as kidney, brains,
heart and liver. They make de
licious dishes when properly
cooked.

Secret of Tanks
Army tanks were so named al
most by accident. They were
called “tanks” by the British war
office early in the 1914-18 war, be
fore they made their public ap
pearance, in order to prevent in
formation of their real nature
passing into enemy hands. Let
ters, telegrams, and telephone
messages concerning “tanks’*|
would cause no suspicion regard
ing their real nature . . . and the
name stuck.
Tanks were first used in the Brit
ish attack on Flers on September
15, 1916.
