HOPE you are having Christmas
l pudding this year. You know,
according to tradition 1t casts a
magic spell over all who tasted 1t.
II is unlucky TO- eat It before
Christmas day, but each pudding
that is sampled after Christmas Is
supposed to bring good luck Tor a
month. In ofden times 1t was the
thing to taste at least twelve pud-
dings-those made by friends II
possible-luck for each month|of
the year.
A wish made while swallowing
the first spoonful was sure CO.
come true, too, during the year,

omission Of the pudding from the
Christmas feast used to be con.
,idered a bad omen.
An Omen Of Plenty
Bread left on the table when

Apples eaten at midnight on
Christmas Eve insure health and

The apples in mince pies also are
symbolic of health.
Mince pie itself has q back

were served at pagan Saxon feasts
in pre-Norman days. Pieces OF
baby pork and bits Of the flesh OF
the wild boar slain in honor OF the
sun god were baked in a pastry.
In. the Middle Ages pies OF shred

Christian emblems took the place

John 81. ,: :, tho
Christian life for the present
quarter has been "To interpret
and deepen Christian experience
bv showing how it is rooted IN
Christian faith, develops by study
and worship, and expresses itself
in Christian attitudes and sherV-
ice." !, -
lis practically summarized in this
lesson which is concise and
comprehensive passage from the
writings of John the Apostle of
love. In our look with him at the
tests of a Christian we have a
backlook showing how Christ
helps us to live our best and an
onlook to victory through Christ
both on earth and in heaven.
ACCEPTANCE OF CHRIST:
REDEEMED
A Christian is a Child of God,
The greatest possible change that
can take place in any human be-
ing is to "begotten of God" That
means not rebirth but new birth;
not reformation but regeneration,
not an old nature reshaped but
new nature created. What are
the evidences that such a change
has taken place? What proofs OF
it can be given? Here are four
great tests: The first is faith. 1t
is fair in a Person. That Person
was Jesus of Nazareth. Not only
was there such a historical person
but he was and is the Christ, the
Messiah promised through the
prophets of old. If he is the
Christ he is the Son of God. His
Messiahship and his diety go to-
gether. Faith in him is funda-
mental. The second is love. Faith
and love go together. The love
of God is supreme in the Chris
tian heart and life. AS he loves
God he devotedly loves Christ. AS
he loves Christ he loves Chris
tians who share witt him the
same faith and hope and love.
The third is obedient. Love to
God inspires and implies obed-
fence to his will. Indeed obed-
fence is the proof of love and Of
faith. To one who loves God his
commandments are not irksome
for he is willing and even anxi-
Gus to do them. They are not
even burdensome for the Chris
tan gainst strength by doing
them and God furnishes addition
al strength as needed. Moreover,
obedience to God is the best ant,
only channel for the expression
of love to the brethren. The
fourth is victory. Life even for
the Christian is full of struggle.
The victorious life is possible and
indeed a duty. But it is accom-
plished not by the Christian alone
but by Christ in him and through
him. Thus we may be "more

DESTROYED crops and took hum

the worst years in the far east;
The storms and floods extended
from Japan and China to the
Philippines and India, taking ter

The floods were complicated IN
Japan by 4 drOuth in the south

priyed the people in that locality
of ample water supplies and
threatened an epidemic. In the
north. the floods destroyed vii
lagos, bridges and commumca-

Tokyo residents who sought
refuge in the hills and at beaches
during the summer returned to
learn that those who remained in
the city slept under blankets most
of the usually sitting season.
The weather experts, however,
were less interested in this phe-
nomenon than in the damage by
floods totaling millions of dollars.
The drouth, they estimated,
also caused losses running to
more than S1O,OOO,OOO in major
crops, including rice. Rice, millet,
wheat. fruit oranges and null

LAID TO REST.
Fruitland' Residents Fu-
neral Held Yesterday
Afternoon

Funeral services for the late
Samuel B. F. Lanning, 63, farm
er of the Fruitland section, were
held Wednesday, Dec. 26, at l p.
m., at Fruitland following his
death Monday, December "a, at 5
p. m, at his home.
Mr.. Lanning was born in this
country, the son of the late
James and Mrs. Leah King Lam
ming, the former of Hoopers
Creek, and the latter of Blue
Ridge townships. Death was the
result of low blood pressure. He
is survived by his widow, who be-
fore her marriage was Miss Rosa
Greene. Six children, all of the
Fruitland section survive. They
are: Brownlow, William, Coda,
Hiram and Viola Lanning and
Mrs. J. L. Maxwell. Three broth

to the weather bill for the past
year.
The worst storm of the year
struck in September, when a ter
rifle typhoon swept Osaka and
Western Japan, killing scores and
spreading desolation for miles in
that industrial and farming sec
ton. The wind was followed by
a huge tidal wave which swept
many into the sea, causing ship
ping damage as we'll as sucking
seashore houses and population
into the swirling waters.
The freak summer followed a
mild winter in 1884, which may
have been caused by a change in
the course of warm ocean cur
rents. So far, the experts say
evidence is lacking that the
changes were due to earthquakes
on the ocean floor. as reported
recently, but are unable to ex-
plain the climate changes puz-
cling meteorologists here.

loved u.s."
TESTIMONY TO CHRIST:
REDEEMER
A Christian Believes in Jesus
Christ. Here is difficult pass
age describing and identifying
Jesus Christ. Does water refer
to. baptism initiating his ministry
and blood to crucifixion consum-
mating his atonement? This
would combat certain false teach
ers of the time who said Chrlst's
higher nature had part in pap
tism, "water only" but not in his
sufferings and death. Did John
refer to the water ard blood that
poured from the spear-pierced
side of Jesus ~on che cross, the
blood for our regeneration and
the water for our sanctlficatlon!
Was there primarily, or even
secondarily, reference to the
symbolism of the two ordinances,
baptism and the Lords Supper?
Is there in the passage as a whole
an affirmation of a trinity wit.
Messing to Christ on earth and
answering to the divine Trinity in
heaven? At any rate John strik-
ingly answers the question, Who
is the Christ of Christian faith?
To him there is treble testimony:
The first is the testimony of the
spirit. The spirit not only reveals
truth and illumines truth but is
truth. His testimony to Jesus as
the Christ the Son of God is
therefore entirely reliable. He
bore his testimony at the baptism
and many other times in the
earthly life Of the Lord. His
agreement with the symbolism of
water and blood is identical in
the ascription Of deity to Jesus.
The second is the testimony OF
the Father. A heavenly voice
rang out at baptism and on the
Mount of TRANSPORTATION ack-
nowledging the divine Sonship of
Jesus. Again and again Jesus re-
peated the assertion of his Son.
ship. Many Bible passages aver
it to be true. The third is the
testimony of the Christian. AS
he believes on Christ the Chris
tan has witness within himself to
the sovereignty and lordship of
Christ. This experimental knowl-
edge is also conclusive. What
then does an unbeliever do? He
rejects Jesus as the Son of God.
In doing this he expresses 'disbe-
lief in the witness that God has
borne concerning his Son. And
in doing this he reaches the hor-
rible wickedness of making God a
liar. .... s.-..,
ETERNAL. LIFE IN CHRIST:

is more than mere existence.
Eternal life is more than exist
ence forever. 1t is not synony-
NOUS with Immortality. 1t means
life at it's highest and hottest and
