you won't mind taking the extra
time for their preparation.
There was a time when we
thought OF pie as something with a
crust made Of shortening, flour and
water, but now there are many new
crunb crusts from which to choose
- and sometimes these are even
better with certain types of filings.
II you want a real taste delight,
experiment with new crusts, novel
filings, and gather yourself new
and delicious collection of pastries
from which to choose desserts. We
all grow tired Of eating the same
things day in, day out, and there's
so much new in the way Of foods,
it's just not a smart homemaker
who doesn't find different touches
to add to her menus.
Since fall is on the way, you'll be
using pumpkin quite often. Here
are two excellent variations of the
old fashioned pumpkin pie, both of
which are guaranteed to make a hit
with the family.

TODD, disregard Of the poor, ex-
ploitation of the people, and all
the evils that have cursed society
in the past and are found today
even in our own democratic LANDS.
This is a temperance lesson, and
the prophecies of the time in their
revelation of social abuses stress
how large a part strong drink had
in breaking down morale, bringing
woe and destruction upon the ma
ton.
Temperance lessons and lectures
are not popular today. The prev
alent psychology is favorable to
drinking and indulgence, where a
generation ago it was favorable to
total abstinence. It is fair to make
a distinction between drinking and
drunkenness, between use and
abuse of itoxicants as OF other
things.
But it is important to remember
that intoxicating liquor has in it
inherent dangers that do not apply
to all other things. The Bible is
Ia temperance textbook, full ct
warning, and its warnings are
borne out in the history Of men and
nations.
The Northern Kingdom went
down in ruin, and any nation that
does not overcome evil with good
is doomed to similar disaster.

Higgins Relates Facts
AtC0nventi0nC lose

that time up until 1891, Japan
stood for peace and non-aggres-
sion.
Higgins presented a unique rea-
son for Japan's return to an ag-
~gressive policy. He said that the
agricultural population WAC had
always depended upon the sale OF
silk to the, United States, were cut
off during the depression. The
poverty caused by the lack Of a
market, gave the military powers
a reason for expansion, and in 1881
Japan attacked Manchuria.
Appealing to the women pres
emit, Mr.. Higgins said, "The world
is in engaged in writing a peace,
perhaps the last peace" He de-
scribed bombs that could devastate
New York and ever said that re-
Gently a bomb had been suggested
that would destroy a part OF the
universe.
He pleaded with the women
present to fight for peace and
concluded by saying that if every
one could see the ruined cities OF
Japan, no n would fight again.
Following the address, new dis
trict vice presidents, district presl-
dents. department chairmen, and
officers were installed by Mrs.
Karl Bishopric, retiring president.

His address was made before a

Conant also charged that a gov

to the confiscation point to pay fte
bills commits the worst crime
against Americans.
Urging businessmen to maintain

tive i nCongress, he advocated
that the business leaders be guild

"Next to the Emperor, the Japa'

North Carolinian said last night as
he spoke before the closing SEES
sion of the North Carolina Fedora
ton of Women's clubs at Lumina

Saying that the japanese COM
mon people we're deceived into
fighting World War II, Higgins ex-
pressed his firm opinion that the
japanese could be educated against
war. "In the main, I think the
japanese are a sincere people"
he said.
When asked why he considered
Macarthur so successful, Higgins
replied, Macarthur has the sole
authority, and of course, he knows
the people SO WE'LL"
Higgins, who opened his address
by saying that he had no inten-
tons Of making a speech, but OF
telling something of Japan, not
generally known, first outlined the

Lesson
Scripture: II Kings 17:5-l2, n, 23;
Isaiah 28.14


BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, DID.
1.-THE Lord knoweth the way OF
the righteous, but the way OF the
ungodly shall perish"
That is as true concerning peo'
pies and nations as it is OF indivl'
duals. And it is as true today as
it was in ancient times.
Ten of the IL tribes of Israel, it
will be recalled, had revolted I'M
der Jeroboam, the rebel against
Solomon. Jeroboam returned from
Egypt to lead the successful revo-
luton against Rehoboam, Solo,
mons son, when the latter refused
to tighten the burdens that Solo
mon had imposed upon the people.
Two tribes, Judah and Benjamin,
remained loyal to Solomon's sue
cessor, in the Southern Kingdom.
The Northern Kingdom, with its
10 tribes, should have been the
stronger. But it had in it from
the beginning elements Of dissolu-
ton and defeat. Jeroboam, who
came to power with a great oppor-
tunity of correcting the abuses OF
Solomon's reign, was not long in
revealing his baseness and weak
ness. He set up affairs of idolatry
and led his people in false and
dishonorable ways.
Weakness from within left the
nation unprepared and almost help
less when danger struck from
without. 1t was a situation calling
for wise strategy and sound judg-
ment. But what wise strategy or
judgment can there be when there
is a lack of sound and honest char
acter?
The weakness from within had
the familiar aspects of all social
failure and deterioration - dis
honesty and corruption in public
and in private life, RIGHTEOUSNESS
apd debauchery among the we'll
