THT ANGEL SONG

TAI ANGEL SCNG
(Ey Request
In the field, with their flock abiding,
They lay on the dewy ground;
And glimmering under the starlight,
The sheep lay white around;
Then the light OF the Lord streamed
Ger them,
And 10! from the heaven above
An angel leaned from the Glory
And sang his song of love.
He sang that first sweet Christmas,
The song that shall never cease;
GLORY to God in the Highest,
On earth good will and peace"
To you in the city of David
A Savior is born today;
And sudden a host of the heavenly
ones
Flashed forth to join the lay.
o never hath sWeeter message
Thrilled home to the souls of men,
And the heavens themselves had
never heard
A gladder choir till then;
For they sang that Christmas carol
That never on earth shall cease:
GLORY to God in the Highest.
On earth good will and peace"
And the shepherds came to the man
ger,
And gazed on the Holy Child;
And calmly DER that rude cradle
The Virgin Mother smiled
And the sky in the starlit silence
! Seemed full of the angel lay:
ITO you in the city of David
A Savior is born today
| On they sang, and I ween that never
The carol on earth shall cease;
| GLORY to God in. the Highest,
On earth good will and peace"

Christmas Dinners
Dear Mrs. Thomas: Please suggest
a Christmas dinner that the average
home can afford. l asked a thrifty
| housekeeper, one living in town and
fully up on the high cost of liv-
| ing, and here is what she will have;
Turkey and cranberry sauce, corn
| pudding and mashed potatoes, can
| died sweet potatoes, mashed ruta-
| bagas, egg bread, hot biscuit, apple
| pie, cake, nuts, cheese. coffee. Then
[ asked another and she said: A
| pork roast would take the place of
the turkey, rice the place of the
| mashed potatoes and mince pie in
stead of apple pie, as she would serve
apple sauce with the roast pork. She
said an old-fashioned chicken pie and
sweet potato pone also appealed to
| her; lemon custard and lemon cheese
cake were enticing, and at last all of
| us decided she would not really know
what she would have until she got
ready to buy her dinner.
| Last year I had no regular help,
so l got my turkey, cakes and a boil
ed ham ready before the day APP
| pointed, that gave me ample time for
| the vegetables, salad and fixing the
| table. I stuffed my turkey and the
tight rooster, cooked the dressing
while heating the turkey. Where one
| expects as many as a dozen guests a
turkey and a ham will be needed, and
| the left-overs will save a lot of cook
| ing during the holidays. but up here
we are getting, or giving as the case
