A cOrrelative passage from the

Key to the Scriptures" by Mary
Baker Eddy is; (p. 24O). In trying
to undo the errors of sense one
must pay fully and fairly the ut
most farthing, until all error is
finally brought into subsection 10
Truth. The divine method of pay
ing sims wages involves unwinding
ones snarls, and learning from
experience how to divide between
sense and SOuli. Whom the Lord
lOveth He chasteneth." He, who
knows Gods will or the demands
of divine Science and obeys them
incurs the hostility of envy; and
he who refuses obedience to God
is chastened by Love.

must be exercised when cars are

instill into their children the
realization Of this menace"
Joseph F. Stech, manager OF the
Council, said.
Motorists also are asked TO
forbid children to ''hitch on" and
to stop their cars in order to re-

children playing in the streets
constitute one OF the greatest

Reading Yuletde Stories


THE reading Of ~literature's most
loved Christmas stories, includ-
ing the Gospels. is one Of the best
ways for a family to prepare for the
day itself.
A family reading session. planned
for the last few days before Christ
mas. will make it easier for the
children to stand the tension Of
waiting and will add meaning and
happy family memories to the &C.
casion.
Christmas is. first of all. religious.
and the New Testament accounts of
he birth of Jesus ought always to
be read first. Both the Christmas
tales of Matthew and Luke are
beautiful poetry and literature.
Perhaps the most famous Christ
mas book in the world, after the
Gospels. is Dickens "A Christmas
Carol" written in l843. It is a
tale which will be told and retold
as long as there is Christmas. II is
profound enough for the most adult
taste and it is still a children's
classic.
Henry Van Dykes The Other
Wise Man." is another story which
has become a Christmas classic.

Christmas Went Underground
With Puritan Ban of 1914

THERE was a time when Christ
mas went underground. People
who advocated Christmas we're in
danger o. arrest and Imprisonment
and it looked as though Christmas
was on its way ont.
II all happened around 1914 when
the Puritans in England forbade
any merrirlent or religious serve
ices, by act of parliament, on the
ground that is was a heather
festival. What resulted was much
grumAling, breaking of the law and
q Christmas underground which
wrote and distributed pamphlets in
favor of Christmas.
In ls4s. for instance, was pub
hshed Canterbury Christmas"
This pamphlet gives an account of
the subsequent proceedings after
the Cryer of Canterbury had upon
Wednesday, December %, Openly
proclaimed that Christmas day and
an other superstitious festivals
should be put downe, and a market
should be kept on Christmas day.
Which being not observed. (but
very Ill taken by the country the

II tells of a fourth wise mar who
saw the star rising and set out
to follow it. The great desire Of
this pilgrim was denied. yet full
filed in the denial.
For a good dnoffehsive funny
story about Christmas try How
Come Christmas" by Roark Brad
ford. 1t concerns the efforts of o
group Of Negroes to decide which
came FIRST, Santa Claus or the little
Lord Jesus.
Probably the most famous Ameris
can Christmas tale is Kate Douglas
Virgins The Birds Christmas
Carol" There are other American
Christmas stories well worth read,

of the best.
