OUCH popularity must be de-
- served. There are many reasons
why the Bible continues to be, year
| after year, the al-time best seller.
But one of the reasons is its i'm
| pressive variety. 1t is not one
book, it Is a library of books. What
ever your mood. whatever your
need, there is a page in the Bible.
somewhere, for you.
A Christian will try seriously
to appreciate the whole Bible
and not merely one or two parts
Of it. Yet there is such variety
in it that invariably some per-
sons are attracted by one fea-
ture of it while another fea-
ture makes stronger appeal to
others.
Our studies these next three
months will be in THE Literature
of the Bible" and each week we
shall be noticing a different feature.
This week we give thought to the
tremendous variety of the Bible,
along with its underlying unity.
Many Types
T OOKING through the Bible you
- find all varieties of literary
types; you find poetry and prose;
stories, essays, sermons, biogra-
plies, dramas; rhapsodies, love
songs, funeral dirges and battle
hymns.
Here are pages as prosaic as
telephone book and here are
pages more exciting than any
fiction. Here are simple,
STRAIGHTFORWARD ideas that a
child can understand as soon
as he understands the words
and here are mysteries so pro-
found that the worlds mightiest
and SoIdest minds shrink back
in awe.
The Bible is not like a piece Of
music played on one single instru-
ment. like a tune on a piccolo; it
is more like an immense symphony
the more often we listen to it,
the more we hear in it.
Meny Times
NJ ONE knows exactly how long
y it took for the Bible to be writ
ten. Let us suppose that the ear
hest parts came from the pen Tor
stylus of Moses, and the latest
part from about 100 years after
Christ John and the Revelation.
If Moses fourished around 1900
B. c., that would mean that the
Bible was completed IS centuries
after it was begun.
In Is centuries much can hap
pen, and much did. There is hardly
any circumstance or crisis, there is
scarcely any time, however hum
drum or thrilling, which does not
have its match in the Bible. It's
writer's were inspired men; they
knew God. But they also knew the
times in which they lived, and thus
can speak to ours.
One Theme
DOR all the vast variety of the
! Bible, there is in it deep and
lofty unity. It is bound together
by its mighty purpose, which
throbbed in the hearts blood of
every man who wrote a line of 1t.
That purpose is to make God real
to man, and to bring man to God.
The writer's of the Bible may have
had their lighter moments, but they
did not write these pages then.
They wrote under the ire
sistabIe impulse, born OF the
Holy Spirit, to make plain to
other men what God had re-
vealed to them.
So as you come to the Bible, re-
member its purpose is not to make
you admire or revere 1t as a book;
its great purpose is to be trans
parent. a window through which
you shall see God.

were printed and sold by them,
this would make one shelf $40 miles
long.
The Bible is the best selling book
in the world. No other book is in its
class.
Not to know the Bible is not to
know the most widely read book
in the world. The American Bible
society publishes it in only 167
languages, but parts of it have
been translated into as many
as 1000 languages and dialects.

The Chef Saws

In choosing your personal equip
ment you naturally will have to be
guided by the space and money at
your disposal. outdoor units may
be fearsomely elaborate or nothing
more imposing than a portable
charcoal grill. But there are a
few other odd items which you may
overlook and which simply will have
to have sooner or later to bring
your outdoor meals to perfection.
Among these are two iron skillets
and one stewpot as the minimum;
several sizes Of good pottery casser-
oles; several double broilers; long
handled cooking and serving spoons
and forks: tongs; asbestos gloves;
drip plans to go under the broiler
and the pit when roasting; similar
pans for keeping barbecue sauces
warm and to marinate meats.
A big iron griddle is a must" and
for smaller parties you would do
we'll to get that wonderful new
gadget called a happy day grid
die" which is fiat on one side for
pancakes and highly ridged on the
other for broiling meats. bacon and
so on. (This is equally useful in
doors in the winterD Planks for
planked food, wooden bowls for
salads. a carving board, a fine carv-
ing set and steel skewers are other
needs. A portable icebox or large
thermos container will keep you
from running back and forth to the
house for reinforcements.

Newcomers to "al fresco" dining
sometimes are confused about what

wonderful detail-"Cook 1t Out

Both books have any number Of

There are several new things to
tell you about today. First on my
list Is q brand-new salad dressing
that is making its debut in one OF
our popular downtown food shops
this week. Put up in an attractive
bottle with a Walt Disney label, the
dressing has homemade flavor that
Is satisfying. 1t is made Of vegetable
oil and Spanish olive oil base. with
vinegar and tomatoes. sweetened
slightly with sugar and seasoned
with herbs and spices. The hints
on the label suggest using 1t to
mix with a snappy cheese as stuff
flng for celery, or to moisten the
filling for deviled eggs, plus, of
course. the perfect accompaniment
for a crisp green garden salad.
The present owner Of the dressing,
Mrs. Rosalind Kress Frame, dis
covered it in q restaurant in Aiken,
S. C. She happened to lunch
there one day on her way home
from returning her son to his
school nearby. She thought 1t the
best dressing she had ever tasted.
On her next trip to Aiken she went
in to sample the dressing again to
see If her first impression was as
good as she remembered. It was.
So, she bought the rights to the
recipe, the name, and launched forth
into business for herself. She hired
chemists to work on the ingredients
so none Of the homemade goodness
would be lost when it went into
quantity production. First intro

duced in the South, several leading
hotels in New York now feature 1t
on their menus, and this week made
its initial appearance on the Wash
ington market.
Food editors, commentators OF
women's radio programs and a
group Of special friends were guests
Of Mrs. Frame at luncheon today.
We were given q preview Of some OF
her other products that are due to
reach the Washington market just
as soon as production can catch up
with demand. Foods we sampled
included shrimp in special sauce,
slow baked limas, artichoke hearts
put up In a creole spiced vinegar,
and a mustard sauce that is perfect
to serve with baked ham.
Next, keep your eyes open for
special offer on a well-known HOT
roll mix this week. You can make
literally dozens Of tempting breads
from this basic mix: Golden-crusted
rolls for dinner, spicy cinnamon
rolls for tea, or sweet orange-mar-
malade rolls for lunch. If your
family is small, only bake half a
batch Of dough, keep the rest re-
frigerated for later baking. With
so many things to do outside these
early spring days, this is q mighty
handy package to keep on hand. All
the ingredients, including an en-
velope Of yeast, comes in the single
package.
Last, but by no means least, are
two new gadgets I've added to my
kitchen recently. Baked potatoes
are great favorites Of mine but un-
less I am going to use the oven for
something else I hate to heat up
the kitchen for just one potato.
With this new gadget you can bake
a potato right on top Of the stove
which adds up to a cooler kitchen
and considerable saving in fuel.
It really works like charm. The
potato emerges with nice crisp
Jacket, and the inside is dry and
mealy. For the person who "lives
alone and likes it," this potato baker
can't be beat. Or, If you frequently
have occasion to bake a single potato
for juniors lunch this baker would
be ideal. The second utensil is two
speed mixer that really cuts minutes
off the time used in beating egg
whites, cream or any Of the jobs
requiring an egg beater. 1t Is
equipped with two gears. one TOR
light beating and one for the heavy
jobs. The handle is put on at an
angle, this makes 1t much easier to
hold steady and not nearly as tiring

publican or Democratic, just as they
please. In fact, the colored popula-
ton really has more freedom than
the rest of the electorate because it
has no tradition of following strict
pattern.
A Democrat, however, is he lives
in the South and if he is to remain a
Democrat, has to vote with the
Democratic party, even if he does it
with anger in his heart and tears in
his eyes. Since the administration
banks on this, we see even presi-

FEARFUL:

Cattle, hog and sheep growers Of
the u. S. continue to live in the
shadow Of fear that the hoof and

mating livestock in Mexico for
many months will spread across

joint committee of the cattle, hog
and sheep raisers forwarded a plea
to Secretary Of Agriculture Clinton
Anderson to renew efforts to eradi-
cate the disease.

men requested that these actions
be taken:
I Renegotiate with high Mexican
L. officials on plans for resuming
the interrupted slaughter and burial

broiled.
One night, my boss, who knew
everybody in Washington, took me
along to introduce me to the British
commercial attache-Tm not sure
that was what he was called in
those days, but it describes his job.
He talked with us quite a while,
much more freely than he would
have conversed with me alone, for
I was a stranger to him.
In the course of the conversation,
he mentioned that tomorrow, or
next day, Great Britain would an
nounce what amounted to an en-
barge on American wool (Britain
wanted to switch her buying to Aus
tralia). The attache explained the
background of the move in detail.
When we were out on the
street, my boss pulled out his
watch and remarked to me:
''NOw, If we were crooked, we
would still have time before the
markets close to make a lot of
money selling short, wouldn't

He didn't have to explain further.
AFTER the British had made their
announcement, I was able to write
a good follow" interpreting the

ever expect.
The same thing applies to govern

COLD CHICKEN:
No Fuel Oil

Campaigning politicians this year
may have to eliminate "a chicken
in every pot' from their lists Of
promises because there might not
be enough chickens to go around.
Reports from the poultry belt in
the Midwest say that the severity Of
the fuel oil shortage is cutting into
the 1948 baby chick hatch to threat
en- poultry and egg production this
year.
Thousands of farmers cancelled
chick orders for early March deliv-
cry because they couldn't get oil for
their brooder stoves. Iowa and the
Northwest were suffering most
from the situation, but it also was
bad in Illinois and Indiana. The
kerosene shortage has been severe
enough to cause hardship in most Of
the poultry producing area.
Some poultrymen were deferring
chick deliveries until later dates,
hoping that warmer weather woul6
ease the tight oil supply.
Officials of one large hybrid chick
hatchery in Iowa claimed they
needed six tank cars Of fuel oil to
get their 1948 production under way.
One Of the most vociferous COM
plants generally being made among
farmers was that city consumers
were using up all the fuel oil.
