As we partake of it may it be to us our source of true strength for the purpose of fulfilling Thy will through our lives. Bless all hands that skillfully blend and prepare the ingred- ients, which Thou dost provide, into foods that sustain and strengthen.

In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Rev. R. M. Peterson Recipe For The Day Take a little dash of water cold, And a little leaven of prayer. Add a little bit of morning gold Dissolved in the morning air. Add to your meal some merriment And a thought of ¢kithwand=kin, And then as your prime ingredients Plenty of work thrown in. And spice it all with the essence of love, And a little whiff of play; Let a wise old Book and a glance above, Complete a well made day. Marie Koury Definitions of Unfamiliar Articles Cracked Wheat - Crushed wheat grains. It may be purchased fine or coarse. Tahini - An exotic oil of ground sesame seeds. Grapeleaves - May be purchased in jars in stores or may be picked fresh from the grape vine in the spring of the year. Pick young and tender. Pine Nuts or Pignolia Nuts - Come from pine trees in Lebanon. Feta Cheese - A White Greek cheese. Clarified Butter - Recipe is in this section of the book. (1 pound of clarified butter equals 2 1/3 cups). Filo or Baklawa Dough - Thin sheets of pastry. Garbanzos or Chick Peas - Dried peas cooked and have a chestnut like flavor. Unfamiliar articles may be purchased at Handy Shoppe, Corner Snow and Morgan Street, Raleigh, NeaGe Pine Nuts may be purchased at Planters Peanut Shop, Greensboro, N. C. Orange Blossom Water may be purchased at La Bonne Femme Gourmet Shop, 516 Simpson, Greensboro, N. C. Hints Keep raisins, citron, currants or other fruits evenly distributed throughout your cakes by dusting them with flour before mixing them into your batter. You'll find that a teaspoon of lemon juice added to unbeaten egg whites makes a tender, more stable meringue. You can avoid a '"weepy'' meringue by letting the filling cool before spreading on the topping. Beat the whites until they form moist peaks but are not dry. Add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time and beat until sugar is thoroughly dissolved. Use two tablespoons of sugar for each egg white. To prevent it from shrinking while it bakes, spread it over the edge of the crust to give it something to cling to. Bake in a moderate (350°) oven for 15 minutes. Did you know that drafts of any kind will cause meringue to shrink and weep? So do save the meringue by sparing the breeze.
