The Scots have always made a
big fuss over New Years, and no
wonder. The wassail bowl goes
'round at New Year’s time, filled
with savory liquid and nostalgic
memories. ?
Traditionally, the wassail bowl
itself should be an ornament of
graceful design; its contents should
be warm and spicy—with sweetened
wine, ale, sugar, and nutmeg.
Custom dictates that at the stroke
of 12 on New Year’s Eve, the head
of the household should sip the mix
ture and then pass it among those
present. A favorite custom of the
Scots has been to pile into wagons
or sleighs carrying kettles full of
the wassail, cheese and buns. The
party stops at various houses in
the community and the refresh
ments go ’round at each stop with-
o t paying much attention to the
approaching dawn.
"Optn House" on New Year’s
Day was quite the vogue in the
Uni led States around the turn of
the 20th century. Newspapers car- ;
ned columns of ‘at home’ notices
announcing the hours during which
visitors would be received. And
having duly received, hosts and
hostesses closed their receptions
and joined the procession of callers
at other ‘open houses.’
Hunmn nature being what it is,
receptions were often ‘crashed' by
st.angers prompted by the acces
sibility of free punch, and a succes
sion of several ‘open houses’ some
times resulted in the most welcome
guests arriving in excessively
boisterous or mellow moods and
contributed to the abandonment of
the publicly announced ‘open
house.’ But intimates still toa^t
each other around a private was
sail bowl and “drink a cup of kind
ness yet for Auld Lang Syne.”

A Very Unique Service
On Christmas Sunday morning a
very unique service was held. The
regular order of worship was ar
ranged so as to create within the^
hearts of all present the true spirit
and meaning of Christmas. Christ
mas carols were sung, the Christmas
story read in unison by the congre-
tion and the pastor delivered a
Christmas message on the theme
“Christmas in Every Land.” How
ever, what made the service unique
was special mention of four wed
ding anniversaries being celebrated
during the Christmas season, namely
Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Thomas, married
forty years; Mr. and Mrs. David
Word, thirteen years; Mr. and Mrs.
Marce’.le Barker, eleven years, and
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Hamilton, fif
teen years. By request, in honor of
the.'e couoles, the pastor rendered a
vo: al solo, entitled “Lead Me to
Calvary,’’ after which he made ap
propriate remarks in which he con-,
gratulated them on reaching these
mile-posts together, wishing them
many more happy and siiccess'iil
vears of married life.
A Christmas Party
On Tuesday evening, December
20, a lovely Christmas party given
in honor of the junior missionary so-
rety was held in the home of Mrs.
Murray Adams, sponsor of the so
ciety. The girls, accompanied by
"Miss Marie Weir at the piano, sang
songs appropriate to the Christmas
season.
Mrs. Adams served dainty refresh
ments in Christmas style, after which
Santa Claus made his appearance in
the room and delivered gifts to all
present.
