Os Course You Can Bake
“I didn’t have good luck with my
cake baking today.” You and I have
both heard homemakers say just
that—reason enough perhaps for dur
getting right down to cases today
and finding out just what it is that
makes for good luck—or bad 'luck—
as the case may be in this cake
baking business.
Os course it really isn’t a case of
hick at all, for the right proportions
of the right ingredients combined in
the right way and baked at the right
oven temperature eliminate luck en
tirely and assure baking success not
sometimes but always.
Information Please.
Os course you own a measuring
cup but have you looked at it crit-
ically to see
whether or not it
has a rim which
extends above
the accurate cup
measure? If it
has a rim, do you
measure the in
gredients just to
this point accu
rately, or clear to
the top inaccu
rately?
Do you always sift the flour once
just before measuring?
Do you use a fine granulated sugar
when making cakes? There is a dif
ference, you know.
Do you cream the shortening and
mix the cake with a beating mo
tion, not a stirring motion?
Do you level off the teaspoon
measures of baking powder, salt or
soda with a knife so as to be sure
they, too, are accurate?
Do you start the oven 10 to 15
minutes in advance so it will be uni
formly hot before the cake is placed
in it?
Do you use a small, inexpensive
oven thermometer for securing ac
curate oven temperatures if your
range has no oven heat-control?
These are spme of the chief fac
tors, careful attention to which helps
to spell success in cake baking. Try
them out in the group of favorite
cake recipes given below. I think
you will like them and the recipes

PAUL SOLVES CHURCH
PROBLEMS
LESSON TEXT—I Corinthians 1:1-2, 10.
11; 4:14-21; I Thessalonians 5:12-15.
GOLDEN TEXT—Only let your conversa
tion be as It becometh the gospel of Christ
—Phillpplans 1:27.
Victory over the destructive pow
ers of sickness is achieved by an
orderly attack of the problem. The
doctor first makes a study of the
condition of his patient, observing
not only the outward symptoms, but
the general condition of the body.
He proceeds to isolate and identify
the evil forces which are causing
the disease, and then he is ready
to apply his curative remedies and
procedures.
The Church is sick today even as
it was in Paul’s day. We are in
need of the sound advice and the
effective example of “Doctor Paul”
and therefore do well to apply to
ourselves and to our churches the
lesson of today. As we do this hon
estly w r e may find in ourselves that
which is making our own church
weak and ineffective. Let us apply
the cure even though the process of
healing may be a painful one.
I. The Condition.
What’s wrong with the Church?
The excerpts from the letters of
Paul which make up our lesson re
veal three fundamental difficulties
which exist in essentially the same
form today.
1. False Teachers (Gal. 3). This
passage is a part of our lesson al
though not included in the printed
portion. It tells us of Paul’s mas
terly dealing with false teachers.
Erroneous teaching and the substi
tution of the philosophies of men
for the Word of God are respon
sible for much of the trouble in the
Church. It is decidedly not a mat
ter of indifference what your pastor
teaches, what your Sunday School
lesson helps teach, and what your
Sunday School teachers present to
their classes.
2. Divisions (I Cor. 1:10). Some
times these occur over doctrine,
sometimes over church procedure,
but all too often over the most in
significant things. Frequently they
center around personal likes and
dislikes. Cliques and little closed
groups have no place in the Church.
Man-worship in place of the worship
of God will also wreck a church.
3. Contentions (I Cor. 1:11). For
some unexplainable reason the peo
ple who love a fight seem to want
to do their fighting in the Church.
11. The Cause.
The internal troubles of the
Church cannot be blamed on its tes
timony or on its responsibility in
the world, and certainly not on its
Lord. The real cause of the
Church’s problems will be found in
men and women who are not living
as they should.
1. The Contentious (I Cor. 1:11).
These are the fighters.
2. The Puffed Up (I Cor. 4:18).
They have an exaggerated idea of
their own importance.
3. The Disorderly (I Thess. 4:14).
Unruly and erratic folk trouble the
Church.
4. The Faint-Hearted (I Thess. 5:
14, R. V.). Timid and uncertain in
dividuals limit and hinder God’s
work.
5. The Weak (I Thess. 5:14). They
are feeble in spiritual insight and
power.
111. The Cure.
Diagnosis and location of the
cause of a disease is practically use
less unless a course of treatment is
carried out. Consider the steps in
the treatment of the sickness of the
Church and then apply the remedy.
1. Remember that it is a “church
of God” (I Cor. 1:2).
2. Recall and follow the true
teaching of God’s Word (I Cor. 4:
17).
3. Receive grace and peace from
the Father and the Son (I Cor. 1:3).
4. Recognize those appointed by
the Lord to be over the church as
leaders_and teachers (I Thess. 5:12-
16).
5. Be ashamed of ungodly mis
behavior (I Cor. 4:14).
6. Deal plainly with sin and dis
order (I Cor. 4:21). The knife of
the surgeon may cause pain but it
is often the way to healing.
7. Warn those who are unruly (I
Thess. 5:14). The word of spiritual
admonition is too often lacking in
the church.
8. Comfort and encourage the
fainthearted (I Thess. 5:14). Un
regenerate man has no patience
with such folk, but God does. A
note of encouragement needs to be
stressed in these trying days.
9. Be patient toward all men (I
Thess. 5:15). If you feel that you
must be impatient, be impatfent
with your own faults. Patience is a
Christian virtue which has almost
been lost in the dizzy, high-pressure
age in which we live. Let us
cultivate it both in the church an/
in the hearts of believers.
Great Fortune
To be reconciled unto God, to pos
sess God’s favor and friendship, to
be at peace with God, is the great
est fortune, bliss and happiness ■
human being can find on earth.

THE HOUSE
Preparing a Chicken for Roast
ing.—Brush chicken over with ol
ive oil. This makes it tender, and
the flavor is improved.

To Clean Pewter.—Wash the ar
ticles in hot water with a paste
made of soft soap and powdered
pumice stone. Then polish with
a cloth or chamois leather.
• • •
Coffee Hint.—Should coffee not
be freshly ground, place the re
quired quantity in a pan and shake
over a low heat for a moment be
fore infusing. The flavor will equal
that of newly bought coffee.

Shellacking Chairs A coat of
clear shellac over the seats of
rush-bottom chairs will greatly
prolong their lives and keep the

Fruit Stains. — Rub powdered
borax on fruit stains; then pour
boiling water through ths fabric
before washing and boiling it.
• • •
Hair Hint.—Lemon juice added
to the rinsing water will help to
preserve the color of fair hair and
also make it bright and glossy.
• • •
Use for Newspapers.—Put a
thick layer of newspapers under
your carpets. Moths will then give
them a wide berth, and your car
pets will have the tread of a soft
pile. Moreover, the layer of pa
per will prevent dust working up
from the floor into the floor cov
tring.

your Book I—SEWING for
the Home Decorator, and the di
rections for slipcovers are so clear
in the sketches that I have de
cided to cover my living room fur
niture which consists of a daven
port, a club chair and a wing
chair. I would like to have your
suggestions for colors for these
and for curtains.”
With this letter there was a de
tailed description of the rug in the
room. It is not important that the
rug color scheme be followed ex
actly, but do make a little chart of
the rug colors as shown here at the
left. If you do not wish to repeat
the background color for your
walls, use a pale tone of one of
the other colors. A stronger tone
of any color in the rug may be
come your accent color.

8. There are more than a hun
dred, but only one-fourth of them
are inhabited. All are very small.
9. Yes.
10. There is no verse in the Bible
relating to a prohibition of a wom
an’s whistling. The reference may
be to the old English proverb:
“A whistling woman, a crowing
hen is neither fit for gods nor
men.” The origin is unknown.
All for a Friend
It is a noble and great thing to
cover the blemishes and to excuse
the failings of a friend; to draw
a curtain before his stains, and
to display his perfections; to bury
his weaknesses in silence, but to
proclaim his virtues upon the
housetop.—South.
