The - ’ stormlll THE GREAT ICE FAMILY CIR FREEZLNG-IS FUN anil the old King Snow were having a chat after a pleasant, busy day. I’retty soon they were joined by other friends and relatives. The Bliz zard Boys came along and so did many of the others. “Let us hear,” said Sir Freezing-Is-Fun, "the old, old story of dear Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great Grandmother Ice and the Pond.” “Who will tell the story?” asked the Icicle Girls and just as that moment Lady Ice came along. “Oh, won’t you tell the story? Won’t you tell the story?” “What story?” Lady Ice asked and she smiled her cold, cold smile, but they all enjoyed it for cold smiles and cold ways were what kept them warm and strong. “We want to hear the story of dear Great, Great, Great, Great, Great. Grandmother Ice Had Lovely Dresses and Gowns of All Sorts. Great, Great, Great, Great-Grandmoth er Ice and the Pond.” “Oh, yes,” said Lady Ice, “I will in deed be glad to tell that story. “Years and years and years ago, oh, so many years ago that no one can possibly add them all up so as to tell just how many years ago it was —at least none of us could add up so many years, dear Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great Grandmother Ice was a very young Ice Lady. “How her iced jewels would gleam and sparkle and dance when Mr. Siin would look at them. “Mr. Sun would come out just for the sole purpose of looking at her jew els and he would look at them this way and then that way to see all the colors that were in them. ’And Grandmother Ice had lovely dresses and gowns of all sorts. QAWS By Viola Brothers Shore FOR THE GOOSE— MARRIAGE is like a business ven ture that can be lost from start in’ with too little capital, or losin’ con iidence on the way. A blazin’ fire often won’t make half the trouble that a hidden spark will. Watch out for them little spiteful re marks that has a habit of poppin’ out. There’s no excuse for a woman lookin’ ugly after she’s dressed. FOR THE GANDER— The way some of the girls dance nowadays looks as if they was bent on hip-notizin’ a man. It on’y takes one man to write a show that it keeps fifty men busy puttin’ on. You can’t change a tire on a movin’ automobile.

CdO Byrvflc*t, lac) *'l see where there is a movement for modest dress,” says Observing Olivia, “but any kind of a movement is safe in a modest dress. What we need to know is how to cross our knees 'f an immodest one." (Copyright.) “Some were very magnificent with long trains and great hangings of sparkling ornaments. "And some were simpler and the light upon them would show pale colors. “But one day when Grandmother Ice (I am leaving out all the ‘greats’ for it takes so long to use them all each time and we know by now how many there were) was dressed in her best Ice dress she went to call upon a pond. "The pond was a lovely pond and It had beautiful, clear water in it as a nice pond should have. “Grandmother Ice was charmed with the pond. “ ‘Winter is coming on,’ said Grand mother Ice. ‘ln fact it will soon be here, and I am wondering if you would not like me and other members of my family to cover up the ponds and the lakes and the streams and keep them warm all winter. “ ‘You will be much warmer if we do this.’ “And the pond was delighted and begged Grandmother Ice to do this. So Grandmother Ice sent word to the other members of her family to cover up the ponds and the lake and the streams and so keep them warm all winter. “Then Grandmother Ice fastened her lovely gown over the pond and attached it to the sides of the ponds in the same way that ladies will fast en their dresses with hooks and eyes and buttons. “And then Grandmother Ice whis pered to the pond and said: “ ‘Dear, dear pond, how I love you. I want to put my arms around you and tell you that I think you are so lovely. 1 want to whisper secrets to you of the great Ice family. “‘I want to tell you how beautiful they are, how flue they like to be. I want to tell you how people can take us out after awhile, and save us for the hot months of the summer. “‘I want to tell you many, many secrets.’ “That is the story of Grandmother Ice and we know how she whispered the lovely secrets of the Ice family to the pond and how the other members of the Ice family did the same with the other ponds and streams and lakes. “And we all love to tell these se crets when we’re visiting in the win ter time these days. We tell how Mother Nature helps us, and how Mother Nature’s different children help us, too.” And all of them said: “Ah, yes, we love to tell these se crets and we love to hear again and again the story of dear Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great-Grandmother Ice.” (Copyright.) CTHE WHY of SUPERSTITIONS By ,H. IRVINQ KIN Q L JCKY-BONES DID you ever carry a “lucky-bone” In your pocket? Many people have and many people do. On the eastern coast of the United States and Canada the lucky-bone is the small, serrated bone found in the head of the cod: in the middle western states it is the small bone found in the head of the gar. The lucky-bone not only brings good fortune but in some sections is supposed to have also a therapeutic value as a preventative of cramps—a most valuable pocket piece. In southern Europe a little fish of silver, or some other material, is worn as a charm against the evil eye and other malevolent influences — as a lucky amulet. But a bone fropi a fish’s head is just as efficacious and much less ostentatious. The head being the center of the fish’s mystic life, the little bone in it is well calculated to represent the fish, being its least perishable part and calculated to retain, therefore, most perfectly the qualities inherent in that body of which it once formed a portion. That same magic of asso ciation by which primitive man con sidered the hair, nails and teeth works with regard to the little bone from the bead of the fish. Now the fish, from most ancient times, was the symbol of the reproductive power of water. Water on the fields made the corn grow —gave life to vegetation. A creature that lived in water, like the fish, was an obvious symbol of the re productive power of the element in which it lived—which had, apparently, given it birth. Isis, as the goddess of reproduction, the "Mother of the World” was intimately associated in Egypt! n statues and painting with the fish and frequently wears one up on her head instead of the usual disk and horns. The lucky-bone has a very ancient and respectable descent.

The skill in embroidery of the Babylonians, Phyry gians and Egyptians attested to their familiarity with needles. The steel needle was invented by the Chinese. THE ROCKDALE RECORD. Convert On.. Wed..

BARRETT - THE NEW CURRENCY ONE of the interesting events of the new year will be the new pa per currency to be issued by the gov ernment about the first of July. The size of the bills will be uniform for all denominations but they will differ very much in design. Those of one dollar denomination will be ornamen tal in design, especially on the back, while those between one dollar and one hundred will have, instead of an ornamental design, engravings of prominent buildings. Each bill will Dear the portrait of a famous American statesman as fol lows: One dollar, Washington; two dollars, Jefferson; five dollars, Lin coln; ten dollars, Hamilton; twenty dollars, Jackson; fifty dollars, Grant; one hundred dollars, Franklin; five hundred dollars, McKinley; one thou sand dollars, Cleveland; five thousand dollars, Madison, and ten thousand dollars, Chase. The size of the new currency will be G 5-16 by 2 5-IG. Because they will be much smaller than the pres ent currency they will be more easily handled and will be issued at a more economical cost to the government. The size of the currency however will not alter its face value. They will be just as difficult to procure, and just as difficult to save. Their pur chasing power will be just the same. As the silver dollar is of par value, not because it contains a dollar’s worth of purs silver, for it does not, but because of the stamp of the Unit ed States mint, so the new currency, just like the old, is secured by the vast reserve of the government. Our greatest satisfaction will de pend, not upon how much of the new currency we will make, but upon how much of it we will save. (©. 1929. Western Newspaper Union.) How It Started By Jean Newton “BUGBEAR” LITERALLY this word means "a bear goblin,” or “a bear of a gob lin!” To indulge a little further in slang, it is “a whale of a fight!” "Bugbear” for an imaginary fear, a specter, ogre, scarecrow, takes its origin in the old and now obsolete significance of the word "bug” as a hobgoblin. Derived from the Welsh “bwg,” which meant a specter or an elf, the word is found in several pas sages of Shakespeare used with this old significance. So “bugbear” is simply a bear-gob lin, something particularly frightful. And though its modern significance is in light vein it is in the old form that the word has survived in our lan guage.

Lesson for January 27 THE HOLY SPIRIT LESSON TEXT—John 16:7-11; Ro mans 8:12-17, 26, 27. GOLDEN TEXT—For as many as ar* led by the Spirit of God, these are son* of God. PRIMARY TOPIC—Our Unseen Help er. JUNIOR TOPIC—Our Unseen Helper, INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC —How the Holy Spirit Helps Us. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—The Work of the Holy Spirit. I. The Personality of the Spirit (John 10:7, 8). Personality Is here implied liy the use of the personal pronoun, lu the original Scriptures personal pronouns are used uniformly in speaking of the Spirit Then, too, He is called the Comforter. The word “comforter” lit erally means one called to stand by the side of another ns a helper, coun sellor and guide. While Jesus so journed in the world He was such to His disciples. He assured them that upon His withdrawal the Holy Spirit would take His place as friend, helper and counsellor. The personality of the Spirit is also proved by the fact that He performs acts only possible to per sons. In John 14:26 He performs the function of a teacher. He not only teaches, but He speaks as a person, giving direction to the disciples as in Acts 8:20 and 13:2. His personality is again proved by the fact that men act toward Him as they could act only toward a person. In Isaiah 63:10 the prophet declared that men vexed the Holy Spirit. It would be manifestly improper to speak of vexing an inilu ence; only a person can be vexed. In Matthew 12:31 Jesus speaks of men blaspheming against the Holy Spirit. It would be impossible to blaspheme against an influence. In Ephesians 4:30 Paul speaks of grieving the Spirit. Again, it would be manifestly improper to speak of grieving an influence. Further, in I Corinthians 12:11 Paul speaks of the Holy Spirit exercising the function of will. One of the es sential characteristics of personality Is that of volition. The Holy Spirit is represented as divine. He has the attributes of deity. In Psalm 130:7-9 He is declared to be omnipresent; In I Corinthians 2:9-11 omniscient. He also performs the works of God. He is the creator and renewer (Ps. 104:30). He is called God in Acts 5:3-4, and II Corinthians 3:18. 11. How Believers are Related to the Holy Spirit. They are regenerated bv Him (John 3:5-8); they are in dwelt by Him (I Cor. 6:19 Gal. 4:6). He also fills (Eph. 5:18 and Acts 4:31). To be filled with the Holy Spirit is -the duty of every believer. No one has the right to perform any work for Christ without this filling (Luke 24:48,49; Acts 1:8). Even the temporalities of the church should bo In the hands of Spirit-filled men (Acts 6:1-3). 111. What the Holy Spirit Does (John 16:8-11). 1. Convicts the world of sin (v. 8). The one awful sin of the world is unbelief. The Holy Spirit convicts the people of the world of their error con cerning sin and shows their guilt be fore God. 2. He convicts the world of right eousness (v. 10). The resurrection and ascension of Christ prove that He is the Righteous One, and that righteousness is only possible as He is accepted as Savior. 3. He convinces the world of judg ment. To be convinced of the reality of judgment is the crying need of the world today. Sin unatoned for shall be punished. The sinner who refuses the righteousness which God provided in Jesus Christ also shall be judged. 4. The Spirit mortifies the deeds of the flesh (Rom. 8:12, 13). The only way to get the victory over our carnal natures is to give the place of rulership to the Holy Spirit 5. He leads the believer (v. 14). The Spirit-filled believer lives the life of the Son of God. 6. He gives assurance to the be liever (Rom. 8:15-17). The Holy Spirit witnesses together with the human spirit to the reality of the new birth. 7. He enables the believer to pray according to the will of God (Rom. 8:26, 27). While the believer does not know how to pray as he ought the Holy Spirit helpeth his Infirmity. All prayer which the Holy Spirit, indites the Heavenly Father answers.

Atwate r Kebtt RADIO "I know that man— that is exactly the way he talks” SHE was listening to a demonstration of an Atwater Kent. Turning th Full-vision Dial from one station to another, suddenly she heard the voice of a friend she had not seen for years. She listened eagerly. It was "exactly the way he talked.” "I’ll take the set,” ahe said. "This radio tells the truth.” Anyone can convince himself that Atwater Kent receivers and speakers do give faithful reproduction. Listen to an orchestra and pick out the individual instruments. Each has its own character —its own identity. Turn to a male quartet, a piano solo, a radio drama with all the varying voices and inflections —or to the President when he speaks. Every sound is true to the original. That is the standard of Atwater Kent performance. Atwater Kent gives it to you for less money. Less money because Atwater Kent Radio is manufactured in great quantities, making econo mies of production possible. Yet this huge output does not affect quality in the slightest. For every set, besides being made of the finest materials, has to pass 222 tests or inspections in the course of manufacture.

The writer, however, admits that there are some athletic activities that are dangerous. “Rowing, especially In four-mile races,’’ he writes, “is held up as the most dangerous of all con tests In its after effects, and the quar ter and half-mile runs are deemed the most dangerous In track athletics. The terrific strain upon the respira tory system in these contests is dan gerous except to perfectly prepared men, and they sometimes result in permanent heart injuries.” Will Cold Worry You ThU Winter?
