CAREFUL PLANNING WILL MAKE

America will be lined witb warm,
shining windows, spilling the light of

ajfford, we also realize that careful

Safety Rules
Insure Well
Trimmed Tree
Make Christmas safe as well as
merry.
Christanas would be just another
day without a gloriously lighted
Christmas tree in the home. It’s fun
to trim the tree. It's a lot easier to
trim it the safe way!
First make sure the tree has a
firm base. There are loads of in
expensive tree holders available for
this purpose. It ,is always best to
use a tree holder that is designed
to hold water.
Water at the base of the tree will
greatly retard the drying out of the
needles^ and keep the tree fresh and!
fragrant.
When placing strings of lights on
the tree always start at the top first.
Make sure you stand on a firm sup
port.
Wind the strings of lights around
the tree taking advantage of ithe
branch formation.
A good trick, if you have too few
lights and the tree is large, is to
back the tree against a wall and
string the lights back and forth
across the front side of the tree.
Make sure there is no tinstel or
other matter in the light sockets.
Place the lights on first and then
decorate with glass balls, tinsel and
other ornaments.
To be sure you snould never use
strings of lights with >vorn insula
tion. The wattage of most Christmas
tree lamps is low, however, it is
never wise to place too many lights
on one circuit.
Do not plug in the lights to the
outlet socket until the lights are
completely arranged on the tree. It
is a simple matter to rearrange the
colored lamps to please the eye once
this has been done.
Take the tree down as soon after
the holidays as possible. When re
moving the strings of lights always
first disconnect the current.
^ Remove all the lamps while the
strings arp still on the tree, this way
you will avoid breakage and maks
them last for years and years.
Six-Inch Sermon
By REV. ROBERT H. HARPER
MOSES' CHARGE TO THE
PEOPLE
Lesson for December 9: Deuter
onomy 15-31: 3: 28-28.
Memory Selection: Deuteronomy
33: 27
The lesson text is found among
the farewell addresses of Moses.
The - grand old man, having led his
people out of Egyptian bondage and
after forty years brought them to
a distant view of the Land of
his work was dene, gathered the
tribes, as it were, to his footstool
and gave them the benefit of the
experience that had been- his
through an hundred and twenty
years.
He set before me people a bless
ing and a curse—a blessing that
would be theirs if they should fol
low Jehovah’s leading, and a curse
if they should depart from Jeho
vah to serve other gods.
But he closed with the stirring
assuracne of the Lord’s blessings
upon them if they would do his
will. The eternal God would be
their dwelling place and under
neath would be the everlasting
arms. Many believe that the last
thing Moses ever wrote was the
90th Psalm which begins with
words that have the sound of
stately music—“Lord, Thou hast
been our dwelling place in all gen
erations.”
These words remind us of the >
addresses. These messages evident- 1
ly came out of his own experience. |
when he delivered his farewell
assurance of Moses to his people
When Mozart was dying, his fel-1
low musicians played for him his
favorite music. Moses was ready to j
die in the thought of God.

Plan Carefully
To Enjoy This
Christmas Season
Christmas is the time to gather
friends and family about our fire
sides, to share the warmth and bless
ings of our homes in this troubled
world.
It is an unhappy reality that
mother and dad’s enjoyment of this
beautiful time can, too easily flound
er under the burden of physical lab
ors.
Cleaning, shopping, cooking . . .
holiday decorations, playing Santa
Claus in the wee small hours . . .
all this added to the serving and
clean up necessary for the tradi
tional entertaining may obscure the
enjoyment of the season.
Don’t let frantic disorganization
spoil your holiday. Plan carefully to
make this the finest Christmas ever.
Check your storage arrangements
carefully, well before the holiday
time arrives, and make sure that
your living room has needed drawer
space for entertaining essentials.
Perhaps you need a small chest of
drawers to fit neatly into a snug
corner. /
Will you spend valuable energy
transporting Christmas goodies from
the kitchen to your guests, making
them feel guilty to be the cause of
your weariness? Or can you arrange
all on an attractive table on wheels’*
and make one grand entrance with
the triumphs of your labors?
How is your dining' room? Is there
an adequate buffet to hold linens,
silver, trays and other.-serving ac
cessories?
A pair of host and host ass chains
will supplement thq. dining' room 6
and add a touch of elegance to the
Christmas table.
