Curtains That Will Fit
Your Color Schemes
By RUTH WYETH SPEARS
T'HE first curtains of this kind I
* ever saw were made of the
long pieces of good material left
at each side of a sheet after the
center part had begun to wear.
These were dipped in dye to make
a soft cream color for the founda
tion part of the curtains. Wide
stripes of gingham and narrow
ones of prepared bias trimming
were then stitched in place to
make stripes. The chart shows

the colors that were used and
gives the widths and spacing of
the stripes.
Os course, you will have some
ideas of your own about the
stripes and colors. Perhaps you
can copy the color scheme of the
rug in the room or the wall paper.
Or colors in a picture may offer a
suggestion for colors for the whole
room.
Whatever the materials used you
will have fun planning the stripes.
In case you should want to use
short lengths of goods for the foun
dation part of the curtains, stitch
these together with the seam on
the right side; then place a stripe
over the joining.
There are 32 other homemaking
ideas in the booklet which Mrs.

Perfection in Pies
There’s something about a piece
of really good pie, with its flaky,
golden-brown crust and a filling
simply oozing flavor and goodness,
that makes it the
crowning glory of
a meal. Just a
whiff of the fra
grance of a juicy
apple pie, or the
sight of a quivery
qustard in a crust
that crumbles at
the first touch whets the appetite;
and one glance at a slice of dainty
chiffon pie, with its feather-light fill
ing, is enough to make even a
strong-willed calorie-counter forget
his diet!
Making pies that achieve perfec
tion isn’t as difficult as it sounds.
Standardized equipment (such as
measuring cups and spoons) and
oven thermometers and heat control
have taken the uncertainty out of
measuring and baking. With a
proven recipe, good ingredients,
standard equipment and some easily
acquired technique, any woman can
make good pie and make it every
time!
Pointers on Making Pastry.
1. Unless you are making hot wa
ter pastry, have the ingredients for
making pie crust cold.
2. Cut shortening into the flour,
using a pastry blender or fork; or,
if you’re an experienced cook, and
work quickly, blending in the short
ening with fingers is permissible.
3. Add water sparingly, using only
enough to hold the ingredients to
gether. Handle dough as little and
as lightly as possible after adding
water.
4. Roll out the dough on a lightly
floured board or on a heavy canvas.
Cover the rolling pin with a child’s
white cotton stocking (with the foot
cut off) and flouring it lightly simpli
fies handling the dough.
5. Place the dough loosely in the
pan to help prevent shrinking.

Dean of The Moody Bible Institute
of Chicago.
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
Lesson for October 8

Council of Religious Education; used by

THE FORERUNNER OF THE
KING
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 3:1-17.
GOLDEN TEXT—Prepare ye the way of
the Lord, make his paths straight —Mat
thew 3:3.
When an earthly king visits his
dominions or makes a journey to
another land, great preparations are
made for his coming. Everything
is done to expedite his journey and
to assure him of safety and com
fort. The United States and Can
ada have recently had that interest
ing experience. The King of kings
and Lord of Lords who in loving
kindness and gracious condescension
had come to earth to be our Re
deemer had now grown to manhood
and was prepared to enter on His
public ministry. God sent John to
be His forerunner to prepare the
way and to herald His coming.
1. A Herald Prophetically Fore
told (vv. 1,3, 4).
The coming of John (usually
called the Baptist) was of such vi
tal concern to God that He had re
vealed it to His prophets hundreds
of years before (see Isa. 40:3).
We should study and believe the
message of the prophets. The same
prophecies that pointed to John the
Baptist and Christ’s first coming
also point to the second coming
(Mal. 3:1-6; 4:1-6). We know the
former took place, why should we
doubt the fulfillment of the latter?
We do well to take heed to the
word of prophecy (II Pet. 1:19).
Let us also prepare the way of
the Lord, not as John did, for his
was a special ministry, but by mak
ing ways for the gospel to reach
the hearts of men. We can remove
hindrances and obstructions, prepar
ing their hearts to receive Him as
Saviour and Lord.
11. An Unusual Man with a Burn
ing Message (w. 2, 6-12).
What an arresting appearance
John must have made as he
emerged to the edge of the wilder
ness to present his startling mes
sage! God had kept him (like Moses
and others) in the quiet of the des
ert where He could talk with him,
away from the distractions of so
called civilization. This simple liv
ing had made John a striking per
sonality, quite unusual and uncon
ventional. The man who strives
for such an appearance to attract at
tention is but a fool, but on the other
hand unconventionality will not de
stroy one’s usefulness if he has a
message from God.
The preaching of John was a burn
ing message of repentance. There
had been no prophetic message
since the time of Malachi, and in
the intervening 400 years the reli
gious life of the Jews had settled
down into a barren legalistic formal
ity. John came with a simple, prac
tical, and plain-spoken indictment of
sin, which led to repentance and
which made religion vital and real
again.
We know that the gospel of the
grace of God in Christ goes far be
yond the preaching of John. But we
also know that the Church needs to
get back to the proclamation of a
vital heart-searching message, and
some genuine old-fashioned repent
ance. Then we like John will bring
men to Christ for salvation, for sanc
tification, for service.
111. A Humble but Privileged
Servant of Christ (w. 13-17).
The crowning event in the min
istry of John was the recognition
of Jesus as He came to be baptized.
He was deeply conscious of his own
unworthiness for this great work and
pointed to the coming Saviour as the
One in whom they should put their
trust (vv. 11 and 14. See also John
1:29). John was not jealous of his
own position, nor seeking his own
advancement (see v. 3 and John
3:30).
To this faithful and humble serv
ant came the inestimable -privilege
of baptizing the Saviour. The bap
tism of Jesus presents a mystery
which we cannot fully solve. It is
certain that He did not come to be
baptized for the remission of sin,
for He knew no sin. The best ex
planation seems to be that in His
obedience to His Father He was will
ing to subject Himself to every ordi
nance of God—a spirit which is not
too common, by the way, among
His professed followers. He was not
a sinner, but He took the sinner’s
place, and thus He both entered
upon His ministry and pointed for
ward to that day when God made
Him "who knew no sin” to be “made
sin for us” so that "we might be
made the righteousness of God in
him” (II Cor. 5:21).
Gracious Amid Gloom
Yet for all my Lord’s gloom, I find
Him sweet, gracious, loving, kind;
and I want both pen and words to
set forth the fairness, beauty and
sweetness of Christ’s love, and the
honor of this cross of Christ, which
is glorious to me, though the world
thinketh shame thereof. — Samuel
Rutherford

Hollywood tycoons are beating
drums and singing words of praise
these days for a man by the name
of Jack Dawn. They jubilantly
claim that Mr. Dawn has extend
ed the possibilities of the screen
a thousand-fold by creating a plas
tic makeup that makes any film
characterization effective. It is ac
complished by the use of rubber
like masks that are sensitive to all
facial movements. By using the
new makeup it is no unusual oc
currence to make a Chinaman into
an authentic Irishman in a few

what he thought was the familiar

The other turned round, and, to
Jones’ horror, presented the face
of a complete stranger. "I beg
