.Sometimes we meet foods that
are good for us and that at the
same time we like. Gelatin, ancl
especially the prepared flavored
gelatin, seems, to be just this sort
of food. With every member of the
family, from the youngest child to
the grown boy and girl and even
the grand-parents, gelatin dishes
are extremely popular.
For all occasions, gelatin, that
very adaptable and nutritious food,
comes to the rescue of the house-
• wife, whose ever present problem—■
and a difficult one it is, too—is to
■please and satisfy the appetites of
each member of her family.
Gelatin, it is pointed out by the
JRoyal Institute, is a most valuable
food, being a true protein. It con
tains a most important food ele
ment which is lacking considerably
in certain common foods. For this
Teason, it is an important addition
to the diet of growing children. Its
richness in the growth-promoting
.amino-acid, lysine, supplements the
deficiency of cereals in this food
element. In addition, it happens to
he one of the most easily digested
foods known. Therefore, it is
easily understood why gelatin is so
■often recommended for children as
well as adults.
. In the opinion of food experts,
aside from the nutritional aspects
■of gelatin, its greatest value as a
food is its unlimited possibilities for
malting other interesting and many
uninteresting foods more attractive.
This is a great boon to all whose
duty it is to prepare meals for
appetites that require coaxing.
In addition to the fruit-flavored
desserts, there is now a prepared
salad gelatin (aspic) on the market,
•with a meat-like flavor, unsweeten
ed. It saves the housewife a lot
•of time in preparing salads or
tomato aspic, and the finished
dishes are a treat to the whole
family. t
Santa as He Appears in
the Different Countries
So Santa Claus wears a red suit
and a long white beard, and when he
isn’t busy in the toy store, drives a
sleigh pulled by Donner and Blitzen?
Not if you live in Hawaii. There,
New 1937 Ford V-8s Announced
Two of the most popular body

are the de luxe Fordor touring

sedan (below). The new 1937 edi

on a moonlit December night, you
might see Santa come riding* in from
•the-ocean on a surf-board. As likely
as not there would be a lei, or wreath
of flowers, about his neck, though he
wears the same red. suit and water-
,proof boots he dons for boys and
girls of the United States, since
Hawaii is really American territory.
In the Philippines, though it, too,
is American, the white cap- turns con
ical like a Spanish clown’s. He car
ries a red-and-white lantern which
helps him find the home of every
good boy and girl, and drives buffalo,
which they call carabao. The gifts
are packed in baskets slung across
the backs of these creatures.
What would you think of Santa in
a rickshaw? But, after all, if you
were a Chinese child isn’t that what
you would expect? And Santa never
disappoints. In Japan he sits with his
feet tucked under him to take his tea
on a wintry afternoon, and in .the Af
rican tropics—well, you just wouldn’t
recognize the red suit! He has even
taken to using the airplane in our
own country. I am sure, that when
he leaves the reindeer in his barn,
he pats tire nose of each one and
urges the ice elve. to feed them plen
ty of reindeer moss till he come home
again.—Frances Grinstead.
Christmas in Shanghai
Just One of Their Days
When Christmas comes to Shang
hai, a cross-section of the world
makes holiday. The average China
man fails to get the meaning of it,
but such a fun-loving people can do
well with one more celebration. So
the Chinaman himself adds to the din
with firecrackers and gift-giving, par-
i ties and the making of calls.
There is a distinct western touch
to the observation of the season by
this most cosmopolitan city. Shang
hai’s “social registerites” start plans
for dinners and dances as early as
middle of November; immediately re
servation are checked, off on the calen
dars of ballrooms and restaurants.
The exact form of observance varies
with the nationality divisions of the
city. In the Russian section, the day
is observed as it is on the steppes
or in Moscow. The French greet
Santa Claus in their own way, even
though the wax dolls have to be
brought far from the Champs Elysees.
The Japanese prefer to make merry
by( drinking saki. The English must,
have their plum pudding and holly.

and girls are taught in separate class

In interior China, however, most
of the people prefer to celebrate their
omu Dragon-boat, Mid-Autumn, and
New Y.ear holidays rather than this
“imported” one. They do not even
try to understand these queer for

just another day!—-Frances Grinstead.
Why Christmas Day Comes
on the 25th of December
Christmas, which seems to have
been first officially instituted a
church feast day by a decree of Fope
Telesphorus, between 142 A.D., and
154 A.D., was a movable feast. In
deed, it was the most movable of all
the Christian festivals. It was usual
ly celebrated by the eastern branches
of the Christian church in April or
May, while in the western part of
Europe days in January or other
months were observed as Christmas.
In A.D. 337 St. Cyril, bishop of
Jerusalem, obtained from Pope Julius
I. authority to appoint a commission
to determine, if possible, the precise
day of Christ’s nativity. From the
chronological archives of the Roman
censors, establishing the times of oc
currence of certain events of the
same period of the . Roman Govern-'
ment of Palestine, the theologians of
the eastern and western divisions of
the Christian church agreed upon De
cember 25th as the date of the birth
of Jesus, and thereupon this became
the officially decreed and generally
accepted Christmas day.
| THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON |
CHRISTMAS LESSON: THE
SUPREME GIFT OF LOVE.
Sunday, Dec. 20.—I. John 4:7-19.
, Golden Text:
Glory to God in the highest, and
on earth peace, good-will toward men
(Luke 2:14).
It is good to have another lesson
on love, as a greatly needed antidote,
to the ignorant and debased ideas of
love that are so popular and appeal
ing among many.
There are three different attitudes
or sentiments to which the word love
is attached.
The lowest of these makes of love
mere animal passion, physical lust.
The second is human, or natural
love at ist best, such as parents and
children, unselfishly loving frTends,
or husband and wife, may have for
one another.*
The third is supernatural and di
vine. God makes it possible for hu-

WORRIED BY PIMPLES
AND ECZEMA
Complexion Unblemished
after Six Weeks of Kruschen.
“For the past two years/’ writes a
woman, “my face ^was covered with
hard pimples and red* blotches, and
I also had eczema on my neck and
fore-arms. I tried lotions, creams and
ointments, without the slightest ef
fect. I was so worried. Fortunately
I decided to. give Kruschen a trial,
and without any exaggeration, within
six - weeks my face was without a
blemish, and I have not had a sigp of
eczema since. I take Kruschen reg
ularly every morning, and would not
be without it,”—(Mrs.) J.A.
Pimples and eczema are frequently
due to impurities in the blood—irrit
ant poisons which sluggish body or
gans are failing to expel from the
system. Kruschen Salts help to keep
the body organs functioning normally
and healthily, thus preventing the ac
cumulation of impurities in the blood.
man beings to have it, yet only by
the miracle of the new birth, when
God’s own life is received by faith in
His Son as Saviour. Our Christmas
lesson tells us much about this mir
acle-love.
The lesson opens with these chal
lenging sentences:
“Beloved, let us love one another:
for love is of God; and every one
that loveth is born of God, and know-
eth God. He that loveth not knoweth
not God; .for God is love.”
This is enough to show us that the
love of which the apostle John writes
is something unique, supreme, divine.
Yet all through this chapter we find
no definition or description of love.
How, then, can we know what love
is? >
God has not left us to guess about
it, or to form our own theories and
opinions. He has given us a perfect
and complete description of tills love
in a great and immortal chapter, the
thirteenth of First Corinthians. 'We
had that chapter in the lesson of Oct.
25, on “Christianity as Love,” and it
would be well to turn to it and keep
before us, in this lesson, the amazing
and ' “impossible” characteristics of
love. Because such love is quite im
possible to the natural man, the mir
acle of the new birth is necessary.
It was the .love of God for a lqst
world, filled with lost sinners, that
made possible our salvation, our new
birth, and our showing forth of His
own divine love in our lives.
After the human race fell, through
the sin of Adam, mankind, was help
less to love as God wants us to love.
Men left to themselves could never
have originatedlove in their hearts
for one another or for God. But men
were* not left to themselves; God
sought them out in order to do for
them what they never could do for
themselves. Let us be very clear on
this: the secret of salvation and et
ernal life is not man seeking God,
but God seeking man.
John tells us: “In this was mani
fested the love of God toward us, be
cause that God sent His only begot
ten Son into the world, that we
might live through Him. Herein is
love, not that we loved God, but that
He loved us, and sent His Son to be
the propitiation for our sins.”
Again, John, tells us: “And we have
seen and do testify that the Father
sent the Son to be the Saviour of the
world.”
That is why we celebrate Christ
mas. It is the anniversary of the
Bethlehem Birth, when God made the
supreme expression of His love in giv
ing His Son to be our' Saviour. It
was the costliest gift that earth or
heaven, time or eternity, can ever
know. That first Christmas night it
was announced to ‘ the shepherds,
“keeping watch over their flock by
night,” as the angel of the Lord pro
claimed: “Feat not: for, behold, I
bring you good tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people. For un
to you is born this day in the city of
David a Saviour, which is Christ the
Lord. Then came the song of the
heavenly, choir: “Glory to God in the
highest, and on earth peace, good-will
toward men.”
Let us never forget that it was
God’s great love that made possible
this gift, this salvation, this Saviour,
and all that Christmas stands for.
Because God loved us so unselfish
ly and supremely, “let us love one
another,”
And let us remember that this true,
highest love is inseparably connected
with God. Love and God cannot be
separated. Not only are they con
nected, they spre identified, For “God
is love,”
Only by receiving the Son of God
as our Saviour, letting Him enter in
to its and take us into Himself, cart
we have His own love in our lives
and hearts for others and for Hint.
God^gives His Holy Spirit to every
one who believes on His’Son as Sav
iour, and the Holy Spirit brirtgs to
pass the miracle of divine love Itt our
hearts. For Athc love of God is shed
abroad In our hearts7 by the Moly
Ghost which is given unto us” (Rom.
5:5). And “the fruit of the Spirit is
love” (Gal. 5:22.)
At this glad Christmas season, re
membering that "We love Him, be
cause He first loved its,” let us keep
singing in our hearts, “Thank's be un
to God for His unspeakable gift?’
Santa Claus
There is a Santa Claus. His real
name is Spirit of Charity. He is the
symbol of benevolence, compassion
and altruism, He is the ideal of that
small legion of really human humans
who pave unselfishly numerous paths
to happiness with kindness, sympathy
and charity.
He Was a Dutch Boy
Christmas was celebrated Hong be
fore Santa Claus was ever thought of.
His prototype was the Dutch boy
bishop St, Nicholas, who on Decem
ber 25 used to go round punishing
little children who did not say their
prayers and rewarding those who did.
Gradually he was changed from a boy
into a jovial old man, while the sled
and reindeer are modern additions.
Actually, Santa Claus was unknown
in England a hundred years gao, The
Dutch founders of New York intro
duced him to America, and England
borrowed him from the States.—'Lon

Blooms at Christmas Time Edward Finds Haven in Austrian Castle
According to tradition the famous
thorn at Glastonbury Cathedral was
brought and planted there by Joseph
of Arimatliea and was part of the
crown of thorns that was pressed up
on the brow of Christ. According to
tradition it blooms at Christmas time
and the possession of a piece is said
to insure good fortune through the
year.
Mistletoe, a Tree Parasite
Despite its popularity as a Christ
mas green, there is little worry about
conserving the country’s supply of
mistletoe. For this attractive plant,
with its shiny, dark leaves and waxy
white berries, grows as a parasite
high on branches of trees and does
considerable damage to its host trees.
Science has revealed that the mistle
toe seeds are carried from tree to
tree by birds.
Select Sturdy. Toys
Well-built toys which- will provide
happy p|ay throughout the year are
better than those which make a brave
showing on the Christmas tree mut
which are soon broken or discarded.

the owner found hjs man seated in

The following recipes surely offer a
variety of pleasing dishes for the Christ
mas season. A hot luncheon beverage,
a spaghetti and meat combination that
will prove a prime favorite because of
its ease of preparation, a pork tender
loin for small families, pudding, cake, a
pudding sauce, and even candies. By the
way, the unusual ripe olive stuffing in the
pork tenderloin, compliments all meat
flavors. Any Christmas roast of fowl or
meat, ripe olive stuffed, will achieve the
needed special atmosphere of celebration.
