BUYING NEW DISHES?
KNOW WHICH IS WHICH!
POTTERY, man’s earliest
dishmaking material, is today a
heavy, opaque, informal, gaily
decorative type of tableware. It
is easily chipped and broken
and the glaze may eventually
scratch and craze leaving the
porous substance underneath
unprotected.
EARTHENWARE,
developed in the 18th century,
is made with finer clays and
fired at a higher temperature
than pottery making it more
durable and somewhat less
porous. It is also thick and
opaque, though stronger and
lighter than pottery. Earthen
ware should not be washed in
boiling water or put in the
oven to warm. These may
cause it to craze. When crazed,
shipped or cracked, the porous
body will absorb liquids and
darken. This type of tableware
is available in a wide range of
price and quality.
SEMI VITREOUS WARE,
called fine earthenware in
I ngland, is fired at high
enough temperatures to
become partially fused or
vitrified and less-absorbent.

clays, it is opaque, thinner than
earthenware but thicker than
: china.
IRONSTONE AND STONE
WARE are similar and harder
than any of the above types of
table ware. Very good strength,
chip resistance and interesting
forms make it a popular choice
particularly for family meals.
Hard, close-grained clays are
used in the manufacture and
fired at temperatures high
enough to fuse the clay
particles to present an opaque,
non-porous surface. Developed
during the 19th century, early
examples enjoy popularity in
the antique market as col
lectors’ items.
CHINA OR CHINAWARE
is porcelain. It is called china
after the country of its origin.
For a long time its manu
facture was a well-kept
Oriental secret. The effort to
duplicate the Chinese product
led to the discovery of “bone
china” in England around
1789. Grades in China vary
widely depending on thickness,
cost of ingredients and quality
of workmanship. Top quality

family use.
Though there are dif
ferences in casual china, fine
china and bone china, all use
choice refined clays as a basic
ingredient and are fired at such
high temperatures that the clay
particles melt and fuse to form
a hard, non-porous, translucent
body. All are thin, highly
glazed, delicate in appearance,
light and very strong in propor
tion to size. All have high
resonance, giving off a bell-like
sound when tapped.
CASUAL CHINA is in
formal, heavier and very
durable. It is often ovenproof
and highly resistant to chipping
and cracking.
FINE CHINA, made from a
variety of super-refined clays
and powdered minerals, is fired
at intense heats for longer
periods of tune at each firing
than less costly dinnerware. It
is strong, thin and very trans
lucent. In making line china,
the hard glaze is actually fused
onto the body making protec
tion complete and permanent.
Decorations, usually by hand,
are added after the glaze and
then fired
BONI CHINA differs from
fine china in color. Fine china
tends to be cream or ivory
colored, while bone china is
chalk white because animal
bone ash is added to the
mixture.
MELAMINE, an inexpen
sive, practical, break-resistant
plastic for informal use. is one
of the two strictly modern
dinnerware materials. When
introduced, plastic was often

Defending the Faith

OF CHRIST
BACK TO THE BIBLE
How many times have you !

this area belittled by one who

relegated to picnics and child- I
oriented family meals. But
with better grades, manufactur- '
ing processes and more so phis- '
ticated designing, melamine
became a staple in dinnerware
departments and a favorite for
daily family feasting The deli
cate lustrous appearance of
some top quality melamine can
fool the eye.
PYROCERAM, the regis
tered trademark for a family of
glass-ceramics, is the other
miracle material of the 20th
century. Concocted for nose
cone duty in outer space,
Pyrocerain eventually found its
way into earthling kitchens in
freezer-to-range-to-table pieces.
Then came dinnerware that is
guaranteed not to break, chip

proach, coupled with an un
fortunate ignorance of salva
tion and other related Bible
topics.
First, there is nothing wrong
with dogmatism as long as the
position is right. Every denomi
nation in this county is just as
dogmatic-if not more so-as
any church of Christ. Second
ly, not all the members of the
church of Christ in this county
are ignorant of the Bible, but
those who are have the ability
to cast an unwelcome shadow
on the rest of us.
What does the church of
Christ teach? What are its rules,
doctrines, government, and dis
position toward other groups
of religious believers? These are
important questions and
should be answered frankly
and openly.
For now, consider the basic
plea of the church of Christ.
Many of you are familiar with
Barton W. Stone, James
O’Kelly, Thomas Campbell,
and others of the 19th century
restoration. But few of you
know what they believed or
taught. Their plea was simple.
Alexander Campbell wrote,
“The Bible alone must always
decide every question involving
the nature, the character or the
design of the Christian institu
tion." (Richardson, “Memoirs
of Alexander Campbell," 11, p.
495).
What is so strange or dog
matic about allowing the Bible
to be the only authority in
religion? To the people of
Judah, Jeremiah said, “Thus
saith the Lord, Stand ye in the
ways, and see, and ask for the
old paths, where is the good
way, and walk therein, and ye
shall find rest for your souls
.. . (Jer 6:16) Does this
statement mean nothing to us?
Can we not see that a right way
and a wrong way exist for all
situations?
The church of Christ makes
the same plea today Let the
Bible be the only guide to spiri
tual enlightenment Consider
the evidence for this view.
Jesus said, “Ye shall know the
truth, and the truth shall make
you free.” (John 8:32) Jesus
said, “He that rejectcth me,
and receiveth not my words,
hath one that judgeth him: the
word that I have spoken, the
same shall judge him in the last
day "(John 12 48) The Berean
Jews "received the word with
all readiness of mind, and
searched the scriptures daily,
whether those things were so."
(Acts 17 111 Paul said. "For I
am not ashamed of the gospel
of Christ for it is the power of
God unto salvation to every
one that beheveth, to the Jew
first, and also to the Greek.”
(Rom. 1:16) Paul told
Timothy that all scripture was
given by inspiration and was
profitable "that the man of
God may be perfect, thorough
ly furnished unto all good
works." (2 Tim 3 16. 17)
Since salvation is in Christ's
gospel and Jesus' words will be
the standard by which man will
be judged. why not let the
Bible function as it should’’
Those of the religious com
munity who understand this
plea but still ridicule it simply
do not believe the Bible is
(k»d’s word The church of
Christ accepts the Bible as the
only authonty and deny that
man may tamper with that
authority We are ready at any
time to show with the Bible
that our worship and practice
is in line with the Bible We are
ready to "contend for the faith
which was once delivered unto
the saints." (Jude J) Our plea
is that every person accept the
Bible as the only standard of
faith and practice With such a
resolution the world can surely
reclaim New Testament Chris
tianity.

The Presbyterian Forum
By George K. Preston
I recently read an article by
Dr. Kohn, who is a minister of
the Congregational Church and
a writer on nature, psychology,
and inspirational subjects.
Selections of his writings have
appeared in anthologies of the
world’s wisdom and inspira
tion.
Life Above The
Animal Level
“A significant difference
between man and other
members of the animal king
dom is man’s power to use his
reason to restrain or direct his
conduct in the light of his basic
principlesand ideals.
“Animal life bears out this
picture: each stimulus tends to
get a direct and immediate
reaction. The fox spies the
rabbit, leaps upon it and
devours it. The great horn owl
sees the grouse and instinctive
ly dives upon it, kills it and
then eats it. Accidentally step
on a dog’s tail and he growls
and snaps at you. Every crea
ture in its natural, undomesti
cated state, is an instinctive,
impulsive reactor.
“But man at his best
tempers instinctive reaction to
a stimulus with reflection, care
ful judgment, with understand
ing and compassion. He does
not react impulsively and ex
citedly to the slightest slur or
insult by calling his offender
humiliating names or by bash
ing him in the nose. The
mature person has ideals and
principles that enable him to
control impulses toward a
natural reaction.
“When we are mere
reactors, we place our manners
in the control of others. If they
treat us politely first, we will

they speak first or smile first,
we will respond by speaking or
smiling. But if they snub us, we
will snub them. They, not we,
determine whether we will be
gentlemen or barbarians.
“Moreover, when we are
mere reactors toward others,
rather than the initiators of our
own behavior, we place control
of our happiness under the
command of other people,and
we become their obedient
slaves. If they treat us nicely,

warmth and appreciation. But
