Recalling the fact that ThanksglV-
ing day is the last Thursday IN NO
vember (which isn't so far away 1t
isn't a bit too early to begin thinking
about this day of days.
It is the ambition of every house
wife to have Thanksgiving dinner the
most outstanding dinner of the year
and to do this, she must begin plan
ming in advance and preparing those
things that are to make the dinner
such a great success. There is, OF
course, the turkey which is the star OF
the picture. Co-starring, we find
cranberriesl 1t is well known that
cranberries play a very important part
IN this picture and in many homes fill
two roles; that of sauce and then OF
ielly, both of which are made by the
housewife. The sauce of course, is
made only a little in advance of the
dinner but the jelly can be made right
away and kept until needed. Jellled
in a fancy mold, cranberry jelly will
lend an air of gaiety and attractive
ness to the table that can't be substl-
tuted. To make this jelly, cook four
CUP of cranberries and one cup OF
water over a hot fire about five min
utes, or until the berries burst. With
strong spoon, press the pulp through
q coarse sieve. add two cups of sugar
and stir until the sugar is dissolved,
then pour into a mold. The sauce will
not iell if boiled after the sugar has
been added.

WORLD-WIDE WARRIOR

w
dedicated to the u. S. Marines who
celebrated their 163rd anniversary,
November 100
He's snappy and happy,
Or sometimes is scrappy,
While serving on missions afloat or
ashore;
A seagoing rover,
Who roams the world over,
With faith in his country, himself and
his Corps.
Success marks his story
Of valor and glory,
Won in Mexico, France, or the far
Philippines;
A land, sea and airman,
Or devil-may-care man,
Who is proud to be one of the U. S.
Marines.
With courage unbounded,
He's never confounded
When he fights against odds in some
turbulent scene:
The always dependable,
Highly commendable
Warrior known as the u. S. Marine.

TWENTY YEARS AGO

TWENTY YEARS AUO
Just twenty years ago today a joyful
message came,
A ruthless war had spent it's force and
our men would be home,
Soon we would hear the marching
feet, the sound of fife and drum,
For years destructive war had waged
and now at the long last
The bloody battlefield would be re-
moved far in the past.
Comrades who died begging you take
message to their Mother,
Or when in patriotisms cause you
must shoot down brother.
And all the sores that never healed,
The blind whose sight was ever seal
ed
The lame that never more would walk
We prayed would never like a ghostly
memory stalk.
We speak of ignorance, of the stone
age,
Of children's quarrels, disputes wo-
men engage.
But when will men learn singly, or
nations get the sense
Quarreling, fighting is a hideous way
of settling arguments.
And to forget and never know, war
of twenty years ago.
Grant us the time when wars forever
cease
And all the world is ever more at
peace.

RADIANT LIVING
Have You Time to Live?
By Rev. C. M. Griffeth
Methodist Pastor of
Deals Island, Md.

Deals Island, Md.
There is no mind so empty as that
in which there is no thought concern
ing God. Although ones mind may
he filled with a multiplicity of inter-
ests. pleasures and cares, yet it may
be empty of real values.
Some men may be filling their lives
50 full of money-making that they
cannot sit down and breathe slowly
for five minutes. They have no time
to look at a sunset. They are too
busv to listen to a singing bird. They
have no time to admire the beauty OF
a rose.
Tt is just rush, rush, rush, strain
strain,-snap!
Can you distinguish between the
glitter of materialistic wealth and the
resplendent gold Of spirituality?
How many business men never learr
until it is too late the wisdom in the
words of Jesus: clay not up for your.
selves treasures upon earth, where
moth and rust doth corrupt, and where
thieves break through and steal: bu-
lay up for yourselves treasures il
heaven where neither moth nor rus
doth corrupt, and where thieves do no
break through nor steal.
When busy men also have time fo
God, they find release from strain
They breathe deeply. They admir-
the beauty of the sky. They hav
time to live.
