God the Only Cause and Gre ator" will be the subject of the Les son-Sermon for Sunday, December l8.
 The Gclden Text is from Hebrews 3:4. Every house is Duilded by some man: but he that built all things is God"
 Selections from the Bible include the following: T have made the earth, and c&eated man upon it! :. have ra,seG him up in righteous ress, and /! will dr ect all his ways: :" Qsaiah 45:12, 13
 Correlative readings from the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scrip tures", by Mary Baker Eddy, in clude the following Opp. 507:21-25, 28-5): "A material world implies a mortal mind and man a creator. The scientific divine creation de- clares immortal Mind and the un- iverse erected by God. Creation is ever appearing, and must ever continue to appear from the nature of its inexnauStible source. Mortal sense inverts this appearing and calls ideas material. Thus miSinter- preted, the divine idea seems to fall to the level of human or material belief called mortal man. But the seed is in itself, only as the divine Mind is All and reproduceS alias Mind is the multiplier, and Minds infinite idea. man and the universe, is the product"

 Today we are faced with an in- comparably greater need, with a more challenging call to Golden Rule observance than we have ever had before.
 As a contribution both to house. hold economy and the character building program of the home, the Golden Rule Foundation provides a series of economy menus for use during Golden Rule Week. These menus are carefully tested by na- tionally known household econom- ists and are certified as containing adequate food values at minimum costs. This year a typical national dish is presented from each of ten invaded and more or less devastated nations of Europe and Asia. A rec ognized authority from each coun- try has been asked to suggest food such as refugee mother there would wish to give her children if she were obliged to combine the ut most economy with adequate nour- ishment and enjoyment.
 The menus with recipes for these national meals have been approved by members of the royal families or other recognized authorities of the respective countries and further tested and certified as satisfactory by the Good Housekeeping Insti- ute.
 Copies of tkN menus and addi- tional information concerning Gold en Rule Week may be secured by communicating with The Golden Rule Foundation, 60 East 42nd Street, New York.

BISHOP CORRICAN
 PRESENTED MEDAL
Catholic U. Rector Hon. Ored By Missionaries of
 Most Holy Trinity

Washington, D. C., Dec. 7-Pre- senting Bishop Joseph M. Corrigan, Rector of the Catholic University of America, here this afternoon with the first of thousands of Holy Trim tty medals being distributed throughout the nation by the Mis- sionary Servants of the Most Holy Trinity, the Rev. Thomas OKeefe, MS. SS. T., vicar of the Commit nifty, quoted Abraham Lincoln's Civil War Proclamation of March 30th, 1863.
 "It is the duty of nations as well as of men," wrote Abraham Lincoln, ito own their dependence upon the over-ruling power of God and to recognize the sublime truth, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord, and that na- tions, like individuals, are subjected to punishments and chastisements in this world"
 Father Thomas pointed out that these eloquent words are even truer now than they were during the days of the war between the States. We hear much about the forgotten man, when we should hear about the forgotten God'", said Father Thomas, emphasizing the need of bringing God to the people and the people to God.
 Toward this end, the Missionary Servants of the Most Holy Trinity an organization of Catholic priests and brotners, propose to strengthen devotion 70 the basic belief of Chris tianity through distribution of the Holy Trinity would be increased throughout the land. Pointing to the dove shown on both sides of the rledal, he voiced the belief that a wider acceptance of the significance of the dove as symbol of the Holy Spirit and of peace will ultimately bring abou. that just peace under God which is the only lasting solu- ton of the worlds problems.
 "Nazism flaunts its swastica, Communism its anti-God emblem It devolves upon all Christians proudly and courageously to display the symbol of their Faith uniting them against the brazen forces Of irreligion and materialism," said Father Thomas.
 with conviction born of implicit faith, we beseech the people of the world to turn to Goo the Father of Mankind for deliverance, to God the Son of forgiveness, and to God the Holy Ghost for guidance during this crisis. ITO peace through God, should be the watchword of the world"

 neIius Vanderbilt Jr., WOrId-R Renowned Lecturer

Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., world renowned lecturer, journalist, au- thor and sportsman, will be the speaker at the Forum of the Sec ond Congregational Church tomor- row evening, at 7:30 D. m. His sub- ject will be What This War Means to America"-( Christianity or Cha oS.)
 Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., is, one of Americas young cosmopolitan intel- lectuals whose every day life is full of adventure and the unusual. At sixteen he had dined with every crowned head In Europe cross ed the Atlantic A times. He has lived in every country of Europe, in Mexico, in Canada, in every corner of the United States; he has motor ed over half a million lniles-has twice won the Astor cup for yacht racing. He has known earls and em- perors, millionaires and multi-mil- honaireS, prelates and presidents And he has been in the headlines since the day of his birth. In 1917 he went to war and in 1919 to work and it was perhaps unnecessary for him to do either. Today, he is one of our most distinguished authors and lecturers, becoming what he is not by power of his family's wealth andposition, but by his own force- full personality and versatile nature
 He has written nine books, deal- ing with events in his checquered past, the most daring of which probably is his Farewell to Fifth Avenue" his valedictory to an epoch in American life which has defi- nitely closed in so far as he is con- cerned. He covered the Corona ton of George VI and was one of the five American journalists grant, ed seat in the Abbey. He has in- terviewed such people as Mussolini Hitler, the ex-King Edward, the King of the Bedoins, Gandhi, Roos- eVelt. Chiang- -Kai-Shek. Pu-Yi. Sta

Dear Santa: Give us liberty, But don't give us war, The way things are in Europe Who knows what it's for. Give us the good old freedom, Eeaders bold and brave, But don't give us so many red Who only rant and rave. Give us good schools Where the right things are taught, Let us keep the good old principles For which we always fought. Give us peace and comfort, But keep us from ugly fights, Give us good old New England pines All decorated with colored lights. In closing, dear Santa give us liberty, But don't give us war, Leave us our happy homes, Who could ask for more
