A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN R. GUM.
Temporal Blessings.

And also that every man should
eat and drink, and enjoy all the good
Of his labor, it is the gift Of Cod
Ecce., ILLS.
All our temporal blessings, no less
than our spiritual blessings, are gifts
Of God. And God meant all these
creatural comforts for our enjoyment.
He meant them, not only to make life
possible, but to make life pleasurable.
Spiritual things afford to the spir-
ltually minded delights superior to any
earthly delights. But material things
were meant to afford us delight, and it
is entirely proper, indeed a duty, that
We should delight in them.
Life has a higher end than eating
and drinking. and making merry in the
pleasures that belong to the physical
side Of our existence. But I am sure
our Heavenly Father Is pleased to see
his children eating and drinking, and
enjoying the temporal bounties spread
upon His table.
These bounties are best enjoyed by
those who recognize them as provisions
of the Father and partake of them
with thankful hearts. To get the
greatest enjoyment from all creatural
goods, we need to remember always that
they come from God and never to for
get to be grateful for them.
Another thing, we need to learn not
to want too much, to be content with
such things as we have, and not to be-
grudge other people the things they
have because we cannot have them. II
we have too much, we are apt to lose
the enjoyment of what we have
through surfeiting. And there is no
surer way Of spelling our enjoyment of
the little We may have than to be al
ways wanting more and envying others
who have more.
Remember these things, go your way.
eat and drink, and enjoy your temporal
blessings.

diet, including more proteins as we'll as
fresh fruit and vegetables, If you expect
to gain your normal weight and to have
your complexion clear. You should
have from eight to nine hours sleep
every night, and for young, growing
girl half hour more would do no harm.
In addition to getting more sleep and
eating nourishing foods, try the follow
ing treatment for your type Of complex
ion: After cleansing your face thor
oughly at bedtime, battle 1t for sew
eral minutes in hot boric acid solution.
which Is made by diSsolving one heap
ing teaspoonful of boric acid in one pint
OF boiling water. Allow it to cool so as
not to burn the skin. Gently press out
the larger blackheads and battle again
in fresh boric acid solution. Dry and
pat little of the following salve on the
stubborn blackheads: Four teaspoonfuls
petroleum, two teaspoonfuls powdered
zinc oxid, two teaSpoonfuls powdered
starch, one teaSpoonful precipitated sui
phur. Mix to smooth Salve. Leave the
salve on over night In the morning
wash the face with warm water and a
mild soap. Rinse in cold water and dry
with clean, soft towel, using little
friction. Pat on little of the follow
ing lotion and allow it to dry on the
skin: One dram sulphate Of zinc, one
dram potassium sulphide, six ounces
rose water. Shake well. Avoid using
makeup and face powder until the skin
is cleared up and in a good condition.
Dry boric acid powder may be busted
on the skin after the lotion has dried,
however.
Second, the bumps under the skin are
very likely whiteheads, and these are
an indication that your skin Is very
sluggish. The same treatment as above
will help them, or you may steam the
affected parts and open the whiteheads
with q sterilized needle and gently press
out the whiteheads after bathing In the
hot boric acid solution.
Third, use three tablespoonfuls of
peroxtd and six drops Of ammonia.

(N.A.N.A.) Cecil Beaton, graceful ex-

for young art men, arrives in the village
with the express purpose Of going ber-
serk with SIS camera.
The youth whose weird notions of

He should have no trouble In this
village. They go In for novelties whole

known to begin while the party Is still
young. And, come by-by time, he
should be able to get some interesting
angles on I1otables fiat on the floor.
And as a final fiillip to the merry
making the Santa Claus of gelatinland
will arrive in a parachute from the

his red flannel suit and beard. He will
be present at the village tree and then
return to his sky by means Of q

Lessen From Shepherds.

"And there were in the same country
shepherds abiding In the field keeping
watch over their flock by night. -
Luke 2:8.
It was the night the Christ Child was
born In Bethlehem. Out on the hill
side a group Of shepherds was keeping
watch over the flock, when suddenly
from heaven, saying, Fear not, fol
behold bring you good tidings of great
JOY" Then appeared multitude Of
the heavenly host praising God and
saying, "Glory to God in the highest
and on earth peace, good will toward
men,"
Why were these shepherds chosen fol
the visitation of these heavenly mes.
sengers who came to announce the birth
Of the Messiah? Does 1t not seen
strange that these plain, simple mer
should hear the heavenly birth sons
Of the King OF Kings, rather than some
centers Of the worlds life? Why, then
were they chosen?
The evident answer Is that the shep-
herds were SILENT thoughtful men
while unused the fire burned" said
the shepherd psalmist. These men
unused. They were students Of the sky
They were ready for the celestial visi-
tants
This suggests o lesson much needed
in these days Of rush and hurry, OF
anxious strain and stress. VisitantS
from heaven do not appear to US be-
cause we do not scan the sky. The
greatest revelations Of spiritual truth
are vouchsafed only to the quiet and
thoughtful.
No wonder some Of us never see any
angels, never hear any heavenly no.
sanas. We are never stu long enough
never alone long enough. The place
Of spiritual vision Is the place Of silent
and solitary reflection. There Ia moth

the shepherds.

Price Of Presents.

Last year I promised to tell a few
stories this year in time to avert heavy
Christmas expenses. Expenses which
are met by the recipients of gifts. not
the givers. Often the price paid by
the giver Is equaled in time by the
recipient.
One thoughtful and confederate wife
last year had made some money ON
the market. She bought her startled
husband limousine. He couldn't drive
1t, Of course, and O chauffeur was hired,
Adding garage and other costs to the
bill, this rather unfortunate husband
paid more than $4,000 during the year
for the Christmas gift It is rather
a high price to pay for ones wifes
generosity.
Shortly after Christmas an irked
woman wrote about the awful curse
Of being given an heirloom. Her aunt,
who had kept an ancient locket for
years and years, decided to pass II
on and off at Christmas. It is highly
valued for sentimental reasons and none
other. Its loss would be a family
catastrophe. The present possessor had
to hire a safe deposit vault for that
one old locket.
OF course, every year some happy
go-thoughtless person sends flowers
with many league stems which won't
mt any vase in the house. Usually the

This is not only charming, but it

such as this would leave room for a

which the average-sized room scarcely
ever has space enough.

Puhiness Under Ewes.

Dear Miss Leeds-u) Can you
tell me something to do for my eyes,
which are pulled underneath, especially
IN the morning? Is there a massage
and lotion that can use for them?
Cd Please tell me something to use
for very thin neck and bust. I have
always been very thin, but seem to be
in good health. work every day.
S. w.
Answer.-As you are very thin ana
also troubled with pufiness under the
eyes, I am afraid that there may be
some underlying physical cause. If you
have indigestion, kidney trouble or 9TH
er internal disturbances, you will con-
tinue to have puffiness under the eyes
and lack robust health, regardless of
any local treatment that you may give,
unless you remove the underlying cause
Consult your physician and have u
thorough physical examination as well
as local treatments. Be sure that you
have suftlcient sleep and rest and take
some mild exercise in the fresh air every
day. Try to gain until you are as near
your ideal weight as possible. At beu-
time cleanse the skin thoroughly, using
cleansing oil or cream. and then WASH
with warm water and a mild SOAP
Rinse well and dry. Then pat on q little
tissue cream, food cream or q nourish-
ing oil under and around the eyes ana
leave 1t on overnight Be sure to mas
sage very gently. Use the first ana
second fingers on both hands. Place the
finger tips directly beneath the eyes,
press gently around the outer corners
and upward, following the contour OF
the eyes. Give this massage every
night.
In the morning after washing the face
apply the following mild astringent:
Four ounces witch hazel, five grains
tannic acid, one scant teaspoonful boric
acid, two ounces rosewater. (2) Please
write for my leaflet on care Of the neck,
which gives exercise and massage for
building q greceful neck. Ask for my
leaflet on how to gain weight at the
same time. Inclose self addressed,
