Spice Bin
A country store spice bin shaped like
a Pagoda sold for $3,300 because
of its rarity, condition and size. The
3-foot-tall lithographed tin Pagoda
held six different spices that were
ladled into bags by the store clerk in
about 1890.
Why not collect food-storage
antiques? Food had to be
specially prepared to last during
the centuries before ice boxes
and refrigerators. Long hours
were spent smoking, pickling,
drying and canning foods. Fresh
fruits and vegetables were
available only "in season." Ice
boxes were used in the 19th and
20th centuries. A block of ice
was cut from a frozen lake then
wrapped and stored in a special
zinc-lined box. It melted as it
cooled, and the housewife had
to empty the pan of melted ice
water at least once a day.
The first electric refrigerator
was made in 1911, and by 1923,
Frigidaire was selling a home
refrigerator. Early refrigerators
used freon in the cooling process,
but to keep the planet green, the
chemical was outlawed in the
1990s. The refrigerator-freezer
combination we use today was
first sold in 1939. But spices
still are used to store, flavor and
preserve food.
Grocery stores of the 1890s
sold spices from a large
container, or later, the small-
sized tins sometimes used today.
A spice display was an important
part of the store. A 36-inch-tall
Pagoda-shaped spice bin with
original paint sold at a Showtime
auction in 2015. It was a six-sided
tower that held ginger, cinnamon,
mustard, cloves, allspice and
pepper. The revolving tower had
ornate lithographed labels on the
tin sections. The rare antique
sold for $3,300.
If that is too big, look for the
small (2- to 3-inch) tins that
used to hold spices. The best
have unusual graphics. Prices
range from $5 to $25. They are
still found at house sales, flea
markets and online, but rarely
at auctions because they are so
inexpensive.

Q: I'm downsizing and want to
sell my dining-room furniture. It's
made of maple and is marked
"A genuine Cushman Colonial
Creation made in Bennington,
Vermont." I have a table with two
leaves, hutch, six chairs and a
wet sink. How much do you think
I can get?
A: The H.T. Cushman
Manufacturing Co. was in
business in North Bennington,
Vermont.from1892to1971,when
it was bought by Green Mountain
Furniture. The company was
founded by Henry Theodore
Cushman. The furniture probably
won't sell in antiques sales, but
a house or garage sale could be
good. You should get about one-
third the price of comparable new
furniture if your set is in great
condition.

Pope Calls For
Re-Wording
In The Lord’s
Prayer
Pope Francis has called for a
re-wording of the Lord’s Prayer,
saying the current translation
gives God a bad name and,
essentially, does not give the
devil his due.
In a TV2000 interview,
Francis questioned the wording
of the line “Lead us not into
temptation,” suggesting it was a
bad translation because it implies
God actively pushes people into
temptation.
"It's not a good translation," he
said in the interview. "I am the one
who falls. It's not Him pushing me
into temptation to then see how
I have fallen. A father doesn't do
that; a father helps you to get up
immediately. It's Satan who leads
us into temptation — that's his
department."
The Catholic Church in France
agreed to switch from the French
equivalent of "Do not submit us
to temptation" to "Do not let us
enter into temptation." The pope
said he was impressed with the
new wording.

What is the difference between
the temple and the synagogue?
Thanks for your question.
The Temple, once located in
Jerusalem, was the center of
Jewish worship from the time
of Solomon. It was the one and
only place where sacrifices
and certain other Jewish rituals
were performed. It was partially
destroyed at the time of the
Babylonian Exile, 586 BC, and
then rebuilt. That temple was
known as the Second Temple.
The Second Temple was
remodeled by Herod the Great,
around 20 BC. The remodeled
Temple was the one that Jesus
and His disciples would have
known that we read about in the
New Testament. That Temple
was destroyed by the Romans
in 70 AD, and has not been
replaced to this day.
According to the Jewish
Virtual Library, a synagogue, at
minimum, is a house of prayer.
Although a Jew can satisfy
their daily obligation of prayer
anywhere, there are some
prayers that can only be recited
in the presence or a quorum, 10
adult men.
A synagogue also serves
as a place of study. Children
receive their basic religious
education there. However, for the
observant Jew, study of sacred
texts is a life-long task. The
synagogue normally has a well-
stocked library of Jewish texts
for members of the community to
study.
Most synagogues function as a
Town Hall of sorts. Religious and
non-religious activities are held
there.
Synagogues collect and
dispense money and other items
for aiding the poor and needy.

malnourished children in Malawi.
We went to two villages seeing
over 600 children. Using UNICEF
guidelines (age, height, weight,
and upper arm measurement), we
gave packets of enriched peanut
butter to those children that
needed additional nourishment.
At the Nkhoma Hospital, we
went room to room with the
chaplains, visiting the sick. We
met with patients, many with
terminal illnesses, to encourage
them and share the love of Christ
with them. One evening, there
was a showing of The Jesus Film
at the hospital. We could figure
out the events of film but could
not understand it as the narrator
and all the characters spoke in
Chechewa.
During our time there, we
walked through corn fields to
very small villages (as few as 5
or 6 huts). Whatever work the
people were doing, we joined
them in their tasks. With the help
of translators, we got to know a
little bit of their lives and lifestyle.
At one hut, a woman had a
large open wound on her ankle.
We were able to get her to the
hospital (about an hour away)
where she received the care she
needed.
Helping in an African
orphanage is always a delight.
Many of the children at the
Nkhoma AfriCare orphanage are
HIV positive. We walked with the
older children to and from school,
and held, hugged, and played
with the little ones every day.
To help the orphanage in
another way, Hillside Church
purchased 500+ baby bottles,
20,000+ Band-Aids, and an
assortment of creams and salves,
to help its day-to-day needs.
For the older children of the
orphanage and villages, Hillside
also purchased 20 soccer balls
and 4 pumps. Real soccer balls
are a premium in the villages.
They typically play soccer with
balls made from plastic bags
wound with string!
The saddest day of our trip
came when one of the orphans
died at 3 months of age. His
mother was only 15 years old
when she gave birth (10 weeks
premature), and was HIV positive.
This was our 5th mission trip to
Malawi. Everyone on the team,
and others in our church, are
ready for the next one!
