Vitamin-containing foods keep the body “tuned up” so to speak, and help us ward off infections. Some of them are necessary for growth, and others help in the use which the body makes of other kinds of food. Six different vita mins have been recognized by sci entists, and there are doubtless a number more. Some of them are found in vegetable foods, some in milk, in fruit, in fruit juices, and in fatty foods. Some are destroy ed by cooking and others by drying in the air. Some, on the other hand, maintain their value in spite of almost any ytreatment. We shall have more to say about vitamins in a later article. Mineral-containing foods provide certain mineral elements, such as lime, phosphorus, sodium, potas sium, iron, copper, iodine, and oth ers which are necessary for various purposes in the body. Calcium and phosphorus build bones, and hy Rev. CLarles E. Dunn, GOD’S GIFT TO MAN Lesson for December 25th. Luke 2:8-20 Golden Text: John 3:16 How human is the Christmas drama! Bethlehem, with its stout farmers, its petty governors, its brutal soldiers, its priests, its idlers, preoccupation and all forgetful of Joseph and Mary, is human in its selfishness. The rugged shepherds, simple men of the open air close to the soil, are human, too. The Magi also, on their camels, one a scholar, one a soldier, the third a merchant, impress us as true repre sentatives of humanity. But that which appeals tr* us as most hu- ! man and lovable is the holy Child and its sweet mother! The celebration of Christmas is also profoundly human. It is a day of the home of gift-giving, of fun and jollity, of friendship. Pecul iarly dear is it to children, the most human of all God’s gifts. But rich as is Christmas in human attributes, it is grander than humanity. It expresses a mightier love, a more majestic music than flesh can reveal. The shepherds heard an angel song that rang out of heaven. The Wise Men saw a star that never set. And Mary brought into the world a new Life! To interpret all this aright we must pass from the human to the divine. We must realize that God came into human life with the advent of Jesus. Thus the entire course of history was completely changed. His birth year is the year One, the central point of time. This divine note, moreover, runs through our celebration of Christ what they desire morning. tXt-r most on Feeding The Family Dr. Roe E.

Passing by it one afternoon Jesus heard the whining voice of an old fellow who had been lying there for thirty-eight years.

How much for his “days of danger, nights of j waking,” that you might be more comfortable and more fit for the stern trials of your own life? There are thousands today, who do not have the cash to me'fet the well-thumbed page in the doctor’s ledger. But, don’t you owe him more than that? Haven’t you time to sit down and think how good he has been in your hours of trial—and—couldn’t you just kneel I down tonight at your bedside and ask God to bless him? It would mean so much for him—I know. There is not enough sordid gold in the world to buy the answer to just one little prayer. Did you ever look at it that way? ' The family doctor may be likened to a shepherd who gives his life “for the sheep.” I have seen this faithful servant of man, tend erly caring for the lambs—as if they were his very own; I can think of no type of service more consecrated—more self-sacrificing. Natur ally I cannot imagine a service more deserving of reward. That’s why, I have been a “family doctor.” 1 b*. ■ ■*- Experience Service Facilities Those are the important things in measuring the worth of a funeral director, and should be borne in mind when you have occasion to choose one DISTANCE IS NO HINDRANCE TO OUR SERVICE and there is no additional charge for service out of town J.
