reason.
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

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

Passing by it one afternoon Jesus heard the whining voice of an
old fellow who had been lying there for thirty-eight years. Every
time the pool stirred, he made a half-hearted effort to jump in. but
there was always some one with more determination, or more helpful

looked at him with a whimsical smile.

How much do you owe to 1
your family doctor? 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.”
