Lemon Chiffon Pie A
Sign Of Good Eating
GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST ADDS FINISHING TO "KING
DESSERTS"

When one settles right down to
think of it, is there anything that
will, nine out of ten times hit the
spot as good as a Lemon Chiffon Pie
with graham cracker crust?
Probably not many of you have ever
eaten or even for that matter heard
Of such combination. It's a great
favorite out west where pies are eat
en- as one of the duties of the day.
Out there, all kinds of pies are serv-
ed in a graham cracker crust, it's
become a sort of National Anthem
or the symbol of good eating. There
are some bakeries that charge as high
as a dollar apiece for them, and the
funny part of it is that these bakeries
are still in business and going strong
so there really must be something to
it. Try it in your own home and see
for yourself, it's better that way than
taking some other PERSONS word for
it.

RADIANT LIVING
BY Their Fruits
By Rev. C. M. Griffeth
stor Methodist Church

PastOf Methodist Church
Ridgely, Md.
t of the pages of historic Meth
in North Carolina there comes
5 a story of those early times
preachers who travelled long and
" circuits on horseback were en-
Iined at public inns free of charge.
re one day, it seems, there came
MS inn a preacher who was put
or the night. AS he was leaving
next morning, however, he was
sented by the proprietor with bill
his meals and lodging.
'Why, thought preachers were en-
Irtained free!" he demonstrated.
"Are you a preacher?" the proprie-
5r asked, surprised. when you ate
your meals here, I never noticed you
lsking any blessing. You didn't have
prayer when you retired for the night.
And come to think of it, you have
alked about everything else since you
rave been here but religion. How
lid know you are preacher?"
Does not this story recall to mind
the statement made by Jesus: "By
their fruits We shall know them?"
When you see tree upon which
peaches are growing, do you have to
be told that it is a peach tree? In
the fall of the year, even a child can
pick out an apple tree.
The fruitage of a tree reveals its
inner nature.
And what is the fruitage of any
tree but the outward expression of
he inner nature Of that tree. What
the fruitage of our words, our deeds,
habits, but the outward expression
he nature that is within us.
live radiantly therefore, one
st have within him the radiant
Eture of the living Christ.

A recent article in a
weekly magazine of
wide circulation fore
casts a revival of Dry
strength. However, we
would like to point out
that the history of Pro-
hibition is that it never
has succeeded wherever
it has been attempted
and its apparent gains
have been small. Abso-
lutte Prohibition still
prevails in Prince Ed
ward Island, the small
est of the Canadian
Provinces. In the United
States there hasn't been
a single year since ma
tlonal repeal in which a
state has not left the Dry
ranks to Join the Vets.
At this writing the
mockery Of Prohibition,
In respect to statewide
areas, is in effectonly in
Oklahoma, Mississippi
and Kansas. If Prohibi-
ton taught us anything
it proved that law
makers cannot keep
liquor out OF dry areas or
outof the hands of those
citizens who want it.

he had frankly admitted we had not
a flow of private capital into the
utility field and that the reason for
that failure was Government per-
secution and Government policies,
instead of attempting to fix the
blame, as he did, on what he called
constitutional lawyers
ut seems to me that was sour

me to wonder how much we can
really rely on the rest of his speech.

provisions are as satisfactory as
possible to meet the framework of
the entire program"
The major feature of the new
tax plan is a combination personal

The sales tax with a rate of 2 per
