Make CkrtUma^
family Party
Chrtotma* U the time tor family
get-together*. One of the beet w«ye
to make these gathering* memora
ble tor all concerned is to engage in
game* which the whole group can
play.
A nice one to start oft with would
boa Sugar Plum Hunt. Have one
member of the family hide Christ
mas candies ahead of time in vari
ous nooks and corners around the
house. At a given signal everyone
starts hunting and gathering the
pieces. The one who gathers the
greatest number would be given a
prim.
The Christmas Puxsle is another
good one to get things going. Look
through some magazine*, which are
tilled with pictures of Santa Claus
at this time of year. Cut out enough
of these to go around, paste them
on stiff cardboard, and cut them
into pieces. Then put each group of
pieces in a separate paper bag. At
the signal, everyone opens a bag
and starts putting the puMle to
gether.
The Xmas Scramble Contest is
good for a group with older children
in it This is simply a contest to
see who can unscramble a group of
words the fastest. Just tor tun, seo
if you can work out the following—
astna, erlreden, ehsgil, dynca,
gosiknct. erto, trepesn. bupnc,

If Santa Misses,
Reindeer Supply
Will Be at Fault
If Santa Claus misses some young
■tors this year, it could be offered
plausibly that he was not able to
round up enough reindeer for his
yearly trip around the globe.
The reindeer shortage has be
come, in recent years, much too
acute. It has been estimated that
wolves have destroyed 500,000 of
Santa's helpers within the last
decade or so, leaving an approx
imate 50,000.
The difficulty of keeping the ani
mals alive in a temperate climate
makes It unlikely that any of the
tew remaining will be transported
WfF\ ’I- MW 'W*?
from their native region* to other
lands for the holiday season, as
has been done In the past.
American boys and girl* will
have to be satisfied with stand-ins
i The few department stores featur
. Ing Santa’s complete outfit this
year will be using native deer a*
substitute for Dasher, Prancer, and
f company.
Qk/Udtmai
Did you know that the observ
ance of Christmas was once for
* bidden in England—the home of
the Yule Log. th* Carol-singer and
\ th* wassailers?
During the Reformation many
believed the undue jollity of Christ
, mas day was sacrilegious. ParHa
ment, on December M, 185 J, or
dered that "no observance shall bo
Itald of the five and twentieth day
of December, commonly called
Christmas day; nor any solemnity
used or exercised in churches upon
that day < respect thereof.’’
This edict proved to be very un
popular with the masses of th*
people. It was not until many years
later, however, that Christmas was
MM* again regarded as a holiday
Comments On Here
And Hereafter
"Him that cometh unto me 1
will in no wise cast out,” These
wonderful words fell from the lips
of our Lord! For two thousand
sorts of people have been coming
to Him and He never has cast
out anybody—old people, young
people, good people, bad people, all
sorts of peole have been coming
to Him. There are no hopeless
cases if you can get them to Jesus.
All cases are hopeless away from
Jesus. There is no name given
under heaven among men whereby
«z r W • »**W WW'**' j
we may be saved but the name
of Jesus.
“I am not interested in doc- j
trines, I am interested in a Chris- .
tian experience.” That ia what ।
a minister said in a pulpit not I
long ago. That statement sounds I
very good until you analyze it. I
As a matter o ffact, all Christian
experience depends upon the doc
trine of the atonement. This does
not mean that a man has to un
derstand the atonement to have a
Christian experience, but the
Bible states explicitly that with
out the shedding of blood there
is no remission. Since the Bible
is true, then the salvation of the
soul depends upon the blood atone
ment which Jesus Christ made on
the cross. The Bible teaches clear
ly that the death of Jesus Christ
was substitutional and vicarious.
He took our place. He died on our
account. He bore our sin in His
body on the cross. That is plainly
taught in Scripture. Ah the Bible
doctrines have a practical value.
Since Christ laid down His life
we should lay down our lives for
for us, then according to the Bible
the brethren. Since He bore His
cross, we should take up our cross
and follow Him. Since He was
obedient unto d*ath, we should be
obedient unto Him. Since He is
coming again and may come any
time, we should be looking for
Him and should keep our lamps
trimmed and burning
