Sunday Dinner

AS Nation we have many odd
customs and traditions, and one of
the most firmly intrenched among
them is the idea that on the day
when people do the least work they
should eat the biggest meal. Per-
haps in the streamlined life of
teeming cities the custom is less
pronounced. But out in the towns
and villages and on the Nations
farms Sunday dinner is the climax
of the mans gustatory experience.
Through the years Saturday has
been baking day on the farm.
Mother made cakes and pies, cookies
and doughnuts. Not too long ago
she made bread also, and if a young
man planned it right, he could get
a thick slice of fresh-baked bread
with plenty of home-churned butter
and heavy molasses on it. The
heart of Sundays dinner was usu-
. ally a big roast-a huge, juicy affair
with the outside pieces we'll crisped
and brown. There had to be enough
so mother would not need to cook
meat on wash day.
Plenty of good roast beef, roast
pork or roast lamb was taken for
granted. 1t was expected there
would be a huge dish of fluffy
mashed potatoes in which plenty of
cream had been mixed. At certain
seasons the vegetables-green peas
and sweet corn, for instance-were
important; otherwise they were just
an expected part of the meal.
Usually there were plates of home
made bread; occasionally mother
made biscuits. But all this, together
with several kinds of pickles and
relishes, was just good food.
1t was the desserts that took a
lads eye, and it was always a battle
to stop himself from eating too
much of the meat and vegetables
If the vegetables were kinds he liked.
But somehow fellow could always
manage two pieces of deep dish
apple pie, plus piece of the marble
cake with its thick chocolate FROST
ing. And for a final touch a few
gingersnaps with a glass OF cold,
creamy milk hit the spot. Perhaps
he did not need SO much on a day
when there had been no work in the
bayfield,, but Sunday dinner in a
growing boys judgment Is one Of
our best customs.

!. The Strength for Sorrow
By the Req. Gaye L. McGiothlen, Th. D.,
Minister OF the Brookldnd Baptist Church.

famous poem. "Invictus" head
is bloody but unbowed." Perhaps
some will try the hopes offered by
philosophical arguments that suffer-
ing is but an illusion, And others
will resign themselves to the atti-
tude that God wills it: therefore, they
can do nothing. We easily forget
that God is not responsible for all
suffering. Much of it is the conse-
quences of natural law which has
been disobeyed by individuals exer-
cising the God-given power of choice.
u + **
We can rejoice that such reactions
are not the only answers. There is
the Christian distinctive that is "a
more excellent way" The Master
admitted that we shall be sorrowful,
but your sorrow shall be turned into
JOY" Experientially, He found it to
be true when His Garden Of Geth-
semane prayer revolved on the theme,
I'D like to miss the experience be-
fore me, Father, but You know best
and You will furnish the strength for
my suffering"
The sufferer himself has been
benefited by these experiences. They
have been necessary discipline
enabling life to be lived to the fullest.
Ease has always been the bane of
living. 1t has proved to be the down.
fall of men and nations. There was
a popular poster some years ago
picturing portrait of Uncle Sam
with the ruins of ancient Rome in
the background. Above the scene
was the sentence, Beware, Uncle
Sam, ease was once my mistress!"
The Christian triumph over suffer-
ing has provided the means for a
ministry to others who are burdened.
The etymology of the word sym
pathy" indicates the meaning "suf-
fering with" others Suffering has
been the means of glorifying God,
the One who has enabled the soul
enriching faith to be exercised. The
follower of Christ has thus been per-
mitted to feel the experience of sor-
row and suffering turned into a
means of personal enrichment. He
has laid hold of the powers of faith
and prayer.
The Christian has found the
strength for sorrow
Evening star., 1945-08-12

No one need argue the fact of
sorrow. Its presence all about us
speaks loudly of its reality. When it
comes, the platitudes of pious
preachments may prove as empty
wells. Men cry, out, Where will the
strength for my sorrow be found?"
The Christian answers back, Look
to Christ! His way of life offers just
what you SEEK"
We need to affirm with all our
hearts today that the Christian re-
ligion is sufficient for the hour of
sorrow and soul suffering.
There Is a certain inevitability to
suffering An old Spanish proverb
reminds us. There is no home in all
the land which does not have its
hush" Sorrow may enter in the form
of blighted physical health. Broken
life plans and disappointed hopes
bring their share. Perhaps 1t comes
through personal bereavements in
the loss of child with the glow of
young life upon its cheek, or the
passing of youth with ambitions
and plans unrealized, or the going of
an adult in the prime of life.
Indeed, one may count himself
peculiarly blessed if he has lived long
and not felt the pangs Of these, or
similar, trials.
When the world thus crumbles in
on men they seek to meet the crises
produced in various ways.
A chapter in Carl A. Glovers help
full book, Victorious Suffering" gives
an analysis of some negative chan
nels of escape that are tried. Re-
sentiment and embitterment become
the reaction of many. The cry is
why should this happen to me?"
Especially is it tragic when the fire.
quent correlative plea is offered that
loyalty to the spiritual exercises of
prayer, church attendance and the
making of offerings should have pro-
duced happier experience than the
tragedy. Continuance of this attitude
may result in self-pity as troubles are
paraded before others and grief is
magnified in bid for sympathy and
the morbid satisfaction 1t produces.
A stoical attitude sometimes pre-
walls. Refuge is sought in the hu-
manistic spirit resounding from the

in the harnessed atom will be univers-
ally shared.
Nothing less than the survival of our
world is now at stake. It is no blasph-
en1y to say that not since the birth Of
Christianity has there been an event as
important as the dawn of the atomic
age. What is needed now, indeed, is a
second coming of Christ-of the Chris
tian spirit, of Christion values-to the
hearts Of all men everywhere. Other
wise, having eaten so much of "the tree
OF the knowledge OF good and evil, ;" it may
well be that in sorrow shall we eat of it
all the days Of otn life, and that that
life, In awesome fact. may not last much
longer in the time-terms Of its past and
eternity.

to shield 1t from competition in the
open, 1t will squat where 1t is."
Further, he says: There would be
no object in rescuing a year, even
out of chaos, If there were nothing
to do with it or only something worse
than nothing" The months spent
in training are to be devoted to
developing democracy as well as
discipline and learning.

International WATERWAYS


Although overshadowed in imme-
diate public attention by more sem
sational topics. notably the atomic
bomb, one little-featured portion of
President Truman's report to the
Nation on the Potsdam Conference
merits special consideration because
: of its long-range implications. This
is the section dealing with the in
terna ationalization of Europe's wa
terways.
The President begins his exposi-
tion of this topic by stating that
"one of the persistent causes of war
in Europe in the last two centuries
has been the selfish control OF the
waterways of Europe. I mean the
Danube. the Black Sea Straits, the
Rhine. the Kiel Canal and all the
inland waterways of Europe which
border on two or more states"
Mr.. Trumans itemization of those
waterways he deems especially
trouble-breeding is highly signifi-
can't. In the first place his list in
cludes both those created by nature
and one (the Kiel CanaD con-
Structed entirely within German soil
and hence. under traditional con-
ceptS of international law, wholly
under the builders control. Equally
significant is the Presidents naming
OF the Black Sea Straits; because
that age-old problem of diplomacy,
though revived in acute form by the
current neg citations between Tur-
Key and Sovie. Russia, was not men
toned in the joint communique is
sued after the conclusion of the
Potsdam Conference. It has been
generally assumed that the straits
and cognate matters concerning the
Near and Middle East were raised
and discussed at the conference, and
the logical inference was that failure
to mention them in the communique
INDICATED failure to arrive at an
agreement as to their handling. Now
the President proposes that the
straits shall fall within that cate
CORY of waterways which will be
dedicated to free and unrestricted
navigation" assured by interna-
tional development and control. And
the President specifically enumer-
ates membership on the interna-
tional agencies" as including the
United States alongside Britain.
France and the Soviet Union, plus
those states which border on the
waterways" Mr. Truman concludes
by saying: Our proposal was con-
sidered by the conference and was
referred to the council of ministers.
There, the United States intends to
press for its adoption"
The broad craftsmanship of the
Presidents proposal is self-evident.
II war-blasted Europe is to recover,
its economic life must be nationally
integrated, regardless of its many
national frontiers, most of which
run in defiance of economic consid-
erations. Europe's waterways play a
much greater role in its transporta-
tion system than do ours in the
United States. To be sure, traffic on
the Rhine and the Danube has long
been regulated by commissions set
up under agreements between the
riparian states. But a broadening
OF these precedents into a general
system under full international con-
troll would seem to be eminently de-
sirable as major factor in Europe's
postwar reconstruction.
