T1MPS0N WEEKLY TIMES—Tim peon, Tex., May at, 1964
400 Against Om
Lmmb for May IS, 11M
EVERYTHING was set lor the
*-* great offensive. The cause of
the war was beyond criticism,
as those days went The enemy
controls one of our cities, and
we aim to get it back. Armies
and nations have argued like that
since the beginning of history.
So it looked to the two kings.
Jehoshaphat and Ahab. on the eve
at their military adventsre to
Ramoth - Gilead. That was the
name at a city which had been in
Israelite hands generations before
this and now for
some time had
been under the
domination of the
aggressive and
land-hungry coun-
try at Syria. Je-
hoshaphat. King of
Judah, *bad been
a strong and wise
king as kings went
In Judah; and Dr. Foreman
even Ahab. bad as bis reputation
is in history, had been a rather
strong king of Israel. These two.
uniting against Syria—bow could
they lose?

Yes-Men
Ahab was never bothered by n
conscience, but Jehoshaphat had
misgivings. He sincerely wanted to
know bow God thought of all this.
He felt in his heart that if God
(fid not approve, the whole venture
was sure to fas. So he asked his
royal colleague Ahab to find out
what was the word of the Lord
about ail this. This was Jehosha-
phat's first mistake, for Ahab was
the last man to know, or to want
to know, the will of God. How-
ever. Ahab. being up-to-date and
very rich besides, had a stable at
yes-men whom be called prophets,
men he hired, men who knew on
which side their bread was but-
tered. It seems ridiculous to call
such men prophets, but false
prophets look and sound 'very
much like true ones—especially
when they tell us what we want
to hear! So Ahab called a meet-
ing of these yes-men and asked
them the question: Shall I go to
battle? Their answer was prompt
it was just what the king wanted
to hear, as they well knew. What
is God's will? Go. by all means.
What will*come of it, bow*will
the battle go? The Lord vQ give
it into King Ahab’s bands. Two
lies; perhaps the prophets knew
it perhaps not Perhaps they did
not care whether it was true or
not; all they knew was what they
were paid to say. and they said it.
“Whom the gods destroy, they
first make road," says an ancient
Roman proverb. Wc could revise
that and not be far wrong: Whom
God wishes to destroy, he first sur-
rounds with yes-men.

Truth No Mottor What
Jehoshaphat was still nervous.
Unanimous opinion about a de-
batable question is suspicious in
any language. So he asked if the
king bad any more prophets. Well,
yes, there was one. a man named
Mieaiab—only you will never hear
anything good from him. said
Ahab. However. Micaiah was
sent for, and in his coming and
In what he said be put his name
on the honor roll of history. Mi-
caiah had everything against him;
the vote in the Prophets’ Associa-
tion was 400 to 1; the king would
not believe him. the wax woJd
start and would fail, anyhow;
and furthermore Micaiah himself
would never be thanked for tell-
ing the truth and might end his
days eating bread and water in
jail Nevertheless, Micaiah, being
a true prophet knew what the
truth was. knew God’s will and
mir.d, and dared to speak it out
The world needs Micaiahs. We
have any number of men who win
tell the truth when it is popular,
when people will believe them,
when it “gets them” something.

400 to 1
This story shows, moreover,
what a mistake it is to decide
what is right and what is wrong
by counting votes. Even it foe
vote is 400 to 1, the one man may
be right. Even if Micaiah were
silenced (as he was) and his
“sour note’’—as Ahab thought it
—no longer disturbed that beauti-
ful harmony of foe 400 yes-men,
they still could not make a lie
true by agreeing on It. In a dem-
ocratic country like ours we tend
to forget this. We decide so many
things by popular vote, that we
come to suppose we can settle
what Is right and what is wrong,
by popular vote. We read in a
book that a great majority of
people interviewed by the author
do what we have always known
was wrong.

While Eggs Are
Low Priced, Save
Them By Freezing
College Station.—With eggs
lower in price now, house-
wives can save money by
freezing them. Frozen eggs
will keep in good condition
from 9 to 12 months. Eggs are
broken out of the shell for
freezing.
Yolk and white may be
frozen separately, or whole
eggs can be stirred to make a
uniform mixture. Foods and
nutrition specialists of the Tex-
as Agricultural Extension Ser-
vice say freeze eggs in quanti-
ties to be used at one time.
Stir whole eggs with a fork
enough to make a uniform
mixture. Do not beat. Strain
through a sieve. To one cup of
whole eggs, add Vi tablespoon
of ONE of these—sugar, corn
syrup, or Vi teaspoon of salt
according to the kind of re-
cipe in which the eggs will be
used.
Yolks frozen alone should
be stirred with a fori: and
strained through a sieve. Add
to a cup of egg yolks ONE of
these—1 tablespoon sugar, 1
tablespoon corn syrup, tea-
spoon salt.
Strain egg whites through a
sieve, and freeze without stir-
ring or adding anything.
The trays used for freezing
ice cubes make convenient
containers for freezing in
small amounts. The trays
should be lined with Cello-
phane. Frozen eggs may then
be forced from the dividers
and stored in the freezer.
Thaw at room temperature,
in cold running water or in re-
frigerator. Mix contents of
package thoroughly before
using. Use thawed eggs with-
in 24 hours. Do not Tefreeze.

Family Quarrels
Laid to Aching Feet
Coral Gables, FIs —The na-
tion would have more happy
marriages if it had more com-
fortable feet
So says Mrs. Wilma Miller,
a former milliner now operat-
ing. a health establishment.
Mrs. Miller says her big inter-
est is feet, because that is
where tensions itsa begin
which can upset the entire
body.
For happier marriages, she
suggests a woman give a tired
husband a foot rub-down to
keep an argument from ex-
ploding.
And, she says, if hubby is
cross and yon must shout at
him, don’t yell, "go soak your
head.”
Instead, say "go soak your
feet,” and both of you will
feel better.

Calhoun county farmers like
what they have seen of a new
clover, Floranna, which was
introduced to the county three
years ago by the Experiment
Station and Extension Service
of the Texas A. and M. Col-
lege System. They believe it
will grow wherever Hubam
thrives and is faster growing
and earlier maturing.
