Golden Text! Galatians 5:25*
A GAIN the autumn has broilfht
the harvest of the fields—-cott«I
sider the unending harvest of the]
Spirit for those who reach the best]
in Christian living, with the ninel
fruits of the Spirit. Crucifying the
flesh, they walk by thb Spirit, and
live by faith. ^
Christian life at its best must be;
shared with others. The Christian;
cannot live unto God alone. One
way to help others is to restore
the erring in the spirit of meekness.;
A holier-than-thou manner would he
resented. Who reaches such high
and stable place that he can sit in
judgment upon others? Consider
thyself, “lest thou also be tempt
ed.” Nothing could be more ludi
crous, if not so tragic, than think
ing oneself to be something when
one is nothing. Do not expose your
self to the ridicule of men.
While we must bear the burdens
of one another, we must also bear
our own—prove our own work and
establish our worthiness.
We must communicate, cooper
ate, with him who teaches, sharing
the responsibility with him. .
The figure of sowing and reaping
isYamiliar to all. Like brings forth
like in the realm of the Spirit. He
who sows to the Spirit shall reap
life everlasting. And in due season
he shall reap. So let us do good
unto all men, particularly unto
those who are associated with us in
the ‘‘household of faith.” This ex
hortation does not require that we
pass others by, but that we be
especially concerned for our own
brethren.

M OTHERS and fathers through
out America are repeating the
age-old Christmas prayer of “Peace
on Earth. Good Will Toward Men.”
•The deep significance of the words
give us strength to marshal our
forces and carry on with faith and
courage in our Christmas prepara
tions.
Christmas foods and customs are
so steeped in tradition that we cling
to them instinctively.
The Christmas pudding, accord
ing to tradition, held a magic spell
for all who tasted it. While it was
regarded as unlucky to eat it be-
v fore Christmas day, each pudding
that was sampled after Christmas
would bring good fortune for a
month. So if you could partake of
12 different puddings, your luck for
the year would be assured. A wish
made while eating the first spoon
ful was believed ‘‘sure to come
true” during the following year.
The omission of this pudding from
the Christmas feast was considered
an ill omen. Consequently plum
pudding holds first place among
desserts for the Chr.^tmas dinner.
The Christmas cakes of long ago
were known as Yule Doughs or
Dows and were made of white flour
of slightly finer quality than usual
with the addition of sugar and cur
rants. These materials were de
cided luxuries and used only on spe
cial occasions. The cakes were
made in the shape of little images
^of the Madonna and the Christ Child
r or were round with a crude repre
sentation of the Nativity stamped
on them. Our Christmas cookies
are direct descendants of the Yule
Doughs. Our fruit cakes, too, trace
back to the early Christmas cakes.
A piece of the Christmas loaf or
cake was kept for a year as it was
supposed never to become sour or
moldy and to be a cure for various
ailments and to ward off diverse
ills. ’ These virtues were supposed
to be efficacious until the next Yule-
tide specialty was made.
Bread left on the table after the
Christmas meal is finished, fore
tells of plentiness in the household
for the next twelve months.
Apples eaten at midnight on
Christmas eve insure health and
happiness for the coming year. The
apples in mince pie also are sym
bolic of health.
Mince pie itself has a background
rich with superstition. The first
mince pies were served at Saxon
feasts in pre-Norman days and
smacked of paganism. Pieces of
baby pork and bits of the flesh of
the wild boar slain in honor of the
sun god were baked in a pastry.
In the Middle ages the shred pies
of mutton replaced the pork pies.
Christian emblems took the place
' of some of the pagan relics and the
1 crutft was shaped like a manger
\ in commemoration of the Christ
; Child.
