There is an old tale which becomes apropos chiefly at the
Christmas time.
An agnostic-a disbeliever in God—made this offer to a pine-
year old:
“I will give you an orange if you will tell me where God is.”
The youngster was equal to the challenge. *T will give you two
oranges,” he said, “if you will tell me where He is not.”
Many great men have cbrays felt the spirituality of Christmas,
and some have managed to put it into words. For instance, when
Woodrow Wilson was asked to prove the greatness of Christianity,
whose founder was the Christ-child, he said simply, “Try it.”
Cardinal Spellman had a Christmas gift for the mind when he
said:
“The joy of Christmas is a joy that war cannot kill, for it is a joy
of the soul, and the soul cannot die. Poverty cannot prevent the
joy of Christmas, for it is a joy no earthly wealth can give. Time
cannot wither Christmas, for it belongs to eternity. Hie world can
not shatter it, for it is a union with Him who has overcome the
world.”
The late Franklin D. Rnosevelt once illustrated the spirit of
Ch cd with this story:
“A thief broke into the home of a priest and stole his purse.
T1 at night the priest wro e in his diary: ‘Let me be thankful. First
i ;h r* I was never robbed before. Second because although he
Ual; r iy purse he never took my life. Third because although he
t- ' nM I hud it was not much. And fourth because it was he who
' \ and no’ I’.”

HOPE THAT SUSTAINS THE WORLD ... If there is anything more
touching and inspiring than the sight of a little boy or girl waiting
patiently for the arrival of his beloved Santa Claus, the world has yet
to produce it. With boundless hope, after hanging up his stocking, he
finally goes to bed, knowing as sorely as he knows his own mother and
father, that the Glftbringer will have been there when he awakens.

T IKE Santa’s pack, your stock of
" holiday goodies should be plenti
ful and interesting. Since callers
will be as much present as holly
and gifts during the holidays, do
your baking of cakes and cookies,
so your cupboard will be re. dy for
any who might drop in.
Home-made delicacies served
during Christmas a'nd New Year's
are as heart-warming as the sound
of the yule-log crackling on the
hearth. If you have a fruit cake,
a variety of cookies and perhaps a
few candies, and if you serve these
with a festive beverage, you will
have gone a long way in spelling
holiday cheer to those who come
to say “Merry Christmas” at your
home.
Here is a simple type fruit cake
which does not need the aging that
a traditional cake requires. The'
recipe makes two 9x4x3 inch
loaves and is the perfect answer as
to what should be served during
the holidays:

Sift flour once, measure and add
baking powder, salt and sugar; sift
