CHRISTMAS PROGRAMS
Bv the Church of Christ


''Never has anything nicer been
given in this church," said and old
member at the close of the Christmas
pageant in the Church of Christ last
year. This year the committee is
working on a similar, but if possible,
a more beautiful pageant to be given
the Sunday evening before Christmas
at 1880 o'clock. The pageant is call
ed "Bethlehem's Inn" First the Her
aid proclaims the decree of Caesar
Augustus to come to be taxed. The
rich are received at the Inn. The
poor are turned away. A blind girl
cries out her relief that she lives in
Bethlehem, because she just couldn't
go. The stable boy receives Joseph
and Mary, the most important visit
ors of them all. There are four wo-
men at the well. The Wise Men and
the shepherds come seeking Christ.
Finally Joseph announces the birth OF
Jesus. The angel warns him to flee
There is a farewell chorus sings fare
we'll to Joseph and Mary. There is
- the occasional of the Wise Men, and
finally the Spirit of Christmas comes
back and receives gifts of substance
for some 500 orphan children, and so
we keep the Kings birthday. "Inas-
much, as We have done it unto one
of the least of these, my brethen, We
have done it unto me-"
The oldtime Christmas tree and
treats has been moved forward to the
Sunday School hour the Sunday be-
fore Christmas. There will be love-
ly program given by all the children
who are willing to take part. Be sure
to have all the children at Sunday
School this day. 1t will be great
hour for them.
The Sunday night after Christmas
the choir will render a cantata-the
Worlds Redeemer. This is story
in song of the birth of Jesus. The
music is especially, all of it, tuneful.
Usually large numbers of people love
to hear this type of program. The
Cantata will also be presented at
North Redwood next week.

Flavofs Obtained From Cheese
By LYDIA lie BARON WALKER.

ramekins. For Welsh rarehit and golden
buck, he names Cheddar cheese. For
inacaroni au gratin he uses equal parts
of Parmesan and Grliyere. and 1t takes
but one and one-half ounces Of each
to supply the 8 ounces needed for crlc-
half pound Of rnacaroni.
In America we are apt to use Ameri-
can cheese for rnacaroni au gratin, for
Welsh rarebit and golden buck. To get
the same cheesy favor the proportion
of cheese has to be increased. Even
then the peculiar zest OF the stronger
and entirely different kinds of cheese
is lacking. Therefore, If you wish an
Italian flavor use the kind of cheese
the Italians use. But If you like the
American cheese flavor use American
cheese either strong or mild as suits
your palate best. Variety to a menu Is
acquired by using different cheeSeS at
times for the same recipe, always re-
membering to reduce the quantity when
the foreign flavor is wanted and the
imported cheese is used and to increase
it for the American style Of dish.
One unusual entree may be welcome.
It is made by frying unpeeled apple,
cut in circular slices from which the
core may be cut If one chooses. II
made with Parmesan or Gruyere cheese
the apple slices may be In rings, Tor
after frying in butter, or some good
substitute. the cheese is sprinkled on
top and the rings put under gas flame
until deiieately brown. If American
cheese is used, leave the apple core in.
Brown thin slices of cheese very quickly
in the hot butter. not allowing time for
the cheese to melt. Then put one slice
of Drowned cheese on each circle of
apple and serve Immediately while
piping hot. This is an excellent entree
to accompany roast pork or pork chops.

The treaty between France and the
American Colonies was signed February
6, 1882, but the French ministers feared
humiliation If the American Congress
did not ratify and for the time being
kept 1t secret.
In March, however, the American
ENJOYS, BENJAMIN Franklin, Arthur Lee
and SilaS Deane, were 6old Louis XVI
would receive them on the morning Of
the goth.
Today we find It hard to understand
the importance of this meeting. The
signing Of the treaty was more vital to
America. However, to the world at
large the appearance Of Franklin and
his colleagues-especially Frapklin-in
the chamber of Louis XVI seemed 70
point the way to new era In human
relationships.
Franklin, scientist and philosopher,
had become the most celebrated man in
the world. AS John Adams said:
His reputation was more universal
than that of Leibnitz or Newton, Fred
erick or Voltaire, and his character
more beloved and esteemed than any
or all of them. His name was
and there was scarcely a peas
ant . lady's maid, or scullion in
the kitchen who did not con-
slider him a friend to humankind.
His plans and example were to
abolish monarchy, aristocracy and
hierarchy"
This was why the spectacle of the
simple, benign old man-for Franklin
was row 72-descending upon the pomp
of the French court, entranced the
world. With him went the hearts of
all the plain, humble beings from whom
he sprang and to whom he still be-.
longed. .

velvet, snowy ruff1es at his bosom and

Louis XVI made slight ceremony of
the meeting. When Count de Vergen-
mes, minister of foreign affairs, ushered
the visitors into his chamber, they
found the ruler with his hair undresseG
and hanging over his shoulders. Per-.
haps it was concession to democracy.

The game went on without inter-

When the game did not need her at

thought of that?
