Braising is method often used
for pot roasts, Swiss steak, veal
chops, or pork chops. The meat is
first Drowned with or without flaw
oring. Then the meat is placed in
a heavy container tightly covered
to cook in it's own juices until done.
Milk, sour cream, tomato juice, a
little water or mixed vegetables
may be added.
Stewing implies the simmering
of meat in liquid at a temperature
slightly below the boiling point.
Stewing and braising are suitable
for such cutst of meat as rump,
round, shank, flank, tail, chuck,
neck, plate, brisket of beef, all cuts
of veal, all cuts of pork, and
shoulder, breast and neck of lamb.

temperature until done. This was
done to develop flavor and to seal
the juices in the meat. 1t is now
understood that instead of sealing
the Juices in the meat, soaring ac-
tually increases their loss. For
the same flavor and more eco
nomical use of fuel, place the
roast in a cold oven and then raise
the heat to a soaring temperature
Shrinkage of the roast is in
creased by covering. Beef, pork
veal. lamb and fish are all best
roasted uncovered. The generally
recommended temperature for
roasting beef is 300 degrees.
Broiling is another method suit
able only for tender cuts of meat
It may be done directly by the
flame or in an uncovered pan on
top of the stove without fat OF
added water. Pour off any fat
that melts out of the meat or you
will have a fried product when you
finish.
Roasting and broiling do not
make meat more tender and toe
long cooking at too high temper
ature will make it more tough.
Slow cooking in a covered con-
tainer with added moisture does
make meat more tender. The ad-

TRUSTING
DIVINE LOVE
BY Rev. c. M. Griffeth
Pastor Methodist Church
Cecilton, Md.

Many soul has been lost by
despair. Having been caught in
the snares of misfortune, they have
given up all hope. 1t may be that
you too are feeling the downward
pull of Encouragement.
But when all goes wrong, why
not turn to God? Have you for
gotten the divine invitation. Come
unto me all ye who are weary and
heavy laden, and I will give you
rest?
Gods love is always available
to the soul, even to the soul lost in
sin. God therefore needs 10 en-
treaty to make Him wiling to tuIn
to us in our need. He does not need
to be prolongingly implored to help
us as though it were wo"k which
He is reluctant to undertake.
Gods love, as the ra3iaac5 of the
sun, is perpetually constant. One
needs but to turn to the light. end
he shall not be in darkness. Seek
then, not to turn God unto your
self, but rather seek to turn your
self unto God. And turning to
Him, trust Him with all that sim
plicity with which a child puts his
confidence in his father Then
shall the moral gloom, the misery
of your heart, and the troubles
which distress your mind. be dis
PEELED by the radiance of His Divine
Compassion. The blues cannot live
in Gods sunshine!
When this realization of the con-
stancy of Divine Love is born in
your soul, it will be as resplend-
ant dawn of a new born day. 1t
will be an hour laid up in everlast-
ing memory.

che suddenly felt inside. You're
telling me? Melvyn, I'm starving!"
He eased the car to . halt and
climbed eagerly to the ground.
Watching him stride gayly over to-
ward the roadside stand, Elaine
found herself marveling over the
effect her smile and gay words had
upon him. II ever there had been
doubt in her mind concerning his
true feelings for her, his present
reaction would have eliminated
them. She could feel herself grow
ing tense on the seat. II she re-
fused to marry him he would be
hurt, grievously hurt, and she didn't
want to hurt people any more. And
yet, what If she did marry him?
Was 1t right to consent to marry q
man you knew you would never
love?
Melvyn II Gay.
Before she had time to answer
this question Melvyn's voice again
broke into her thoughts. He came
striding over to the car, a cardboard
plate in one hand, a bottle Of soda
in the other.
"Here are two hot dogs" he said,
smiling, "and a bottle Of soda and
box Of ice cream. No one can
ever claim I don't treat my women
we'll"
mo one would ever think of saying
that" she assured him gratefully.
Gracious, Melvyn, don't know why
you are so nice to me. What have
I done to deserve it?"
His reply was long in Forthcoming.
For full 10 minutes he sat quietly
at the wheel, tooling the car care
fully along the congested road, and
Elaine had consumed the food and
drunk the bottle of soda before he
decided to answer her. Drawing the
car to halt before clump of huge
naples, he turned to face her, eyes
glowing, lips pursed into a serious
line.
"You know why I am nice to you,
Elaine. You know that love you,
that I would do anything in the
world for YOU
It had come. Just the moment
she had been expecting, and dread
ing. Yes, dreading. Elaine suddenly
became aware of this as he took her
hand tenderly in his. She had been
dreading this moment because she
was not ready for it. She had to get
things straight in her mind: she
had to have time to think carefully
before she could answer him.
Marriage to a man you loved was a
serious step; marriage to a man you
only liked.
She made an effort to withdraw
her hand but he clung to it. You
shouldn't say such things" she told
him softly, looking him straight in
the eyes.
A Surprise for Elaine.
He sighed and his bronzed face
grew troubled Eyes, I know. You
haven't had time enough to get over
Eric. Elaine, I wouldn't have said
that, only-well, I haven't much
time either. I'm leaving for China
in two weeks"
"China?" Elaine was round-eyed
with surprise. His disclosure made
her forget momentarily her feeling
Of embarrassment. But Melvyn,
when did you decide that? Why
haven't you told me sooner?"
