Bless T his House
Bless this house, 0 .Lord we. pray,
Make it safe by night and day;
Bless these walls, so firm and stout,
Keeping want and trouble out;
Bless the roof and chimneys tall,
Let Thy peaoe lie over all;
Blessthis door, that it may prove
Ever open to Joy and love.
Bless thesewindows shining. bright,
Letting in God's'heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth -a-blazing there,
With smoke ascending dike a prayer,
Bless the folkwho dwell within,
Keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless usall that we may be
Fit, 0 Lord, to dwell with Thee,
Bless us all that one day we
May dwell, 0 Lord, with Thee.
As sung by Gladys Swart11out
on the Prudential Family Hour
In the excitement of Christmas parties, safety from fire may be
forgotten. But only a nor entary forgetfulness will allow a disast-
rous fire to start. No victim of fire ever thought that fire would
cone in the manner or at the time it occurred. Safety suggestions
are based on actual experience which show how fire accidents hap-
pened and the precaution- that could have prevented them.
Most fires occur from special Christmas lighting, particularly
.nndles. Any open flame lighting should. be arranged in fixed suita-
ble holders well away from flammable decorations, Christmas trees,
window curtains 1tnd table cloths. Constant watch by adults should
be maintained over thein while lighted. Electric lighting circuits de-
signed for tree illumination should be examined for defects and
proper size fuses.
For eandlelight services, only fixed holders for candles should be
permitted, and these located well removed from decorations and
from where the public will pass. Much to be preferred are fixed
electrical systems with specially designed electrical candles. The
dangers from carrying or holding lighted candles by the public tak-
ing part in the services are touch too great ever to be allowed. Flash-
lights have been satisfactorily adapted for members of the choir or
for services requiring moving lights.
Flammable decorations should be kept to a minimum. They pro-
vide fuel for a rapid fire from any source of ignition. Metal, glass
or asbestos decorations should be preferred in any selection. Flame
proofing treatment for paper and fabrics is available at low cost.
In public buildings, flammable decorations should be prohibited.
Smoking habits are particulary important because of the quanti-
ties of wrappings, decorations and trees that might become involv-
ed. Matches and lighters should not be used near a tree, curtain or
i
decorations, and extra care exercised to lighting or throwing away
matches.
An evergreen tree dries out rapidly in a warm roma and should
remain in a building for a few days only. It will retain freshness
longer if the base is cut diagonallly and stands in a pan of water.
Location and support of the tree is important—well away from
fireplaces, stoves, heaters and light bulbs and far distant from exit
doors. The tree should be well supported, preferably with metal rods
or wires.
