past eight years spent two terms at
Chapel Hill and received pharmacists

during his summer vacations. He was
a quiet, unassuming young man with
attractive disposition. He was duti-
full to church as well as business
and was an active member of the
choir of the Methodist church, with

good can be said for the deceased
because he deserved all that could be
said for him.

ROAST GOOSE FOR CHRISTMAS
How to Prepare Fowl Which for Hun
dreds Of Years Has Been ConVeD-
tionaI Holiday Dinner Dish.

For hundreds Of years goose has
been an important conventional Christ
mas dinner dish. Select young, ten

depends on this, one weighing about
eight or ten pounds, says an expert
enced houSekeeper.
For the dressing take four cupfuls
Of hot mashed potatoes, two and one

removed just before serving.
Put the goose in the dripping pan
with two cupfuls of boiling water and
roast for nearly two hours, according
to size of fowl, basting often and free
Iy. Remove the goose to a hot platter,

REV. A. 1. JUSTICE MAKES
STRONG APPEAL FOR HELP
IN MILLION DOLLAR DRIVE

An Appeal to the Church Managers,
Pastors and CanVaSsers In the
Carolina Association for the Million
Dollar Fund for Schools:
My dear friends and fellow workers:
I am making this another appear
to you, in the interest of the greatest
undertaking in which our Baptist
hosts in North Carolina have ever
engaged, that of raising a million dol
lars right now for the endowment
and equipment of our colleges anG
schools.
The campaign was to have closed
with November, but owing to the Flu
conditions the State Convention was
postponed until January the 14tn.
This gives us further time in which
to work. Not a church in our as
sociation so far as I know with pos
sibly one exception has made a COM
plete canvass of it's membership, anG
yet some of them have raised more
than their apportiOnment with only
partial canvass.
AS church managers, pastors and
workers let's be real busy on this
Job, the remainder of the time that
Te have. Let's see to it that no mem
ber of the church or Sunday school
fails to have the opportunity to take
part in this task.
suggest that on the 1st Sunday In
January we unite in one grand rally
in every church in our association
and that we see to it that every man,
woman and child who has not already
subscribed to this fund shall on that
day and the day following have the
opportunity of doing so. We MUST

CHRISTMAS THEN AND NOW
In the Old Days Gifts Were Tokens OF
Love, in Keeping With the Day
Celebrated.

! What a vast difference there Is in
the Christmas of today, from the
Christmas of our forefathers. In those
days there was not the hurry scurry
shopping, and costly, somewhat useless
gifts given with the thought that the
receiver might give a finer one in re-
turn. The gifts given in those days
we're gifts of love, wholly in keeping
with the day celebrated, says 8 CORE
spondent in an exchange.
For many weeks and months did
mother spin, color and wind the yarn,
and knit on wooden needles or bone
hook the warm neck scarf or mittens
for her loved one, every stitch bear
ing a message of love. And then as
the time drew near how savOry the
kitchen Smelled every time one en-
tered, but. of course, nothing was visi-
BILE for mother or aunty or grand
mother had safely hidden away the
tender gingerbread and spice cakes,
and the brittle molasses taffy, plates
of butterscOtch and other candy rich
in nut meats.
What happy times when the stock
fngs Of all sizes, and almost all cob
crs, were hung on the mantel shelf
above the wide fireplace, where old
Santa had no trouble at all to come
down and deposit TIE numerous things
from his pack IN the dangling stock
ingS.
Everyone was remembered with
some sort Of a gift, none were forgot
ten, and I feel sure the homemade
goodies were devoured with as much
relish and with less after effects, as
the store goodies Of today. There
were no coal tar dyes in the Christmas
candy grandmother made.
Then when the team was hooked to
the farm sled, with the farm wagon
bed on it partly filled with straw and
bed covers, what a fine ride to church
ever the shining snow, to hear a real
Scripture sermon about the birth Of
our Savior, on earth peace, good will
to men.

WRAPPING ADDS TO THE GIFT
Home Art Specialist Suggests Use OF
White Ribbon and Tissue Paper
With Bits of Foliage.

The wrapping of Christmas gift is
an expression of the giver..as much as
the gift itself, asserts Miss Aram1nta
Holman, instructor in home art in
the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege.
"a pretty gift will lose much Of it's
charm If it is wrapped carelessly,"
said Miss Holman. GAS much care
should be taken in the wrapping as in
the selection Of the gift.
The wrappings should be dainty
and inconspicuous, and in harmony
with the gift and the sentiment that
the giver wishes to accompany the
gift. White tissue paper tied with
white ribbon with bit Of foliage for
color, makes a prettieF and neater
wrapping than colOred paper and col
ored ribbon. IF the gift is to be
sent through the mail, the outside
wrappings must necessarily be of
strong paper, but if tied neatly and
securely with t1nsel Christmas cord,
the package will make an attractive
appearance, and at the same time will
protect the gift"
Personal touches, such as original
sketches on the gift card or a spray of
foliage from the region of the giver's
home convey a deep sentiment and
thoughtfulness on the part of the
giver, according to Miss Holman.
While holly and mistletOe are the en-
blematic Christmas foliage, a spray of
hemlock, bittersweet, pepper bough,
OF any pretty native foliage may be
used.

Come, joy, thy sweet bells ringing!
Behold! His star is shining bright;
The angel choir is singing.

But near-too near, the cannon's roar,
The shield and saber's rattle;
The Christmas anthems sound no more.
Across-the field of battle.
Oh, Christmas spirit! Calm our fears,
Close down in pity stopping.
AlasI Thine eyes are filed with tears,
Thy radiant wings are dropping.
The happy bells, the joyous bells
That set the echoes rolling
Through silent streets and frosty dells,
Are slowly, sadly tolling.
Come, glory night! Come, spirit light!
Come, joy, thy mute bells ringing!
Through clouds the star is shining brighti
Far off the choir is singing.

Christmas PlumS

Christmas-co-Operation, cheer!
1t is a catching affair-this spirit
of ChrfStmaS-and the nearer it aD-
proaches the more contagious it be-
comes.
Every time that Christmas comes
around again we wonder why we
haven't cultivated the Christmas
spirit all the year.
Here's hoping that al our soldier
boys, on land and sea, will have a
few Christmas plums on the day of
good will-even though this year they
may be mostly in the pudding.
Probably the girls are saying the
same thing this year that they have
said every year In the past-"Well,
I'm going to start making presents
right away for next Christmas"
We get most Of the enjoyment of
Christmas out Of the dreams that
SOu0 OCAOGO hAu h1IGGS OuO BO UEN6u

while it Is here, and to appreciate It
when 1t has goneI
At least we are reasonably sure Of
one thing-whlch Is that no soldier
viii have to go without a good Christ
mas dinner. Well, this is as 1t should
be, slnce-to paraphrase our old
friend, Mr.. Dryden-surelY the brave
deserve the fare.
Not namfn' any names, we are viii
ling to admit that there are folks In
this world whose Christmas dinner
doesn't interest US in the least-ex-
cept that we hope they'll have plenty
of food for reflection, and that after
the meal is over they'll get their just
desserts.
