TWO REQUESTS

Mrs. II. M. r., Washington
As a bride of less than a
year I have found some Won
derfully helpful household
hints in the RICH and read it
avidly. now have two prob
lens that do hope some OF
the readers might be able to
help me with.
First, / will shortly be re-
quired to serve late refresh
ments to some club members
of my husbands who meet
each month at a different
members house, and this will
be the first time for me to
meet them and be their hostess.
I understand they usually
serve frankfurters and beer.
but I should like to offer
something different, though
inexpensive, and would love
some suggestions.
/ should like to start plan
ming in advance for a very
modest party to celebrate our
first wedding anniversary
tpaper. I have seen some
articles in the past in RICH
along these lines, but didn't
clip them. Since the expense
involved is a very real factor,
and a fairly large group of
people will probably be invited.
I would be very grateful if
some of the readers could offer
some ideas that would tie in
with the occasion as to deco
rations, what to serve, ETC., on
an economical scale. Many
thanks.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
Bv WILLIAM RIFT

wealth only to leave it for others
to fight over. It's not worth the
candle. Money does not make one
happy. In getting rich the author
notes that there is injustice, cor
ruption, wickedness and oppres-
sion. Most of these evils come out
of wealthy oppressors and with
such encumbranceS one cannot find
much in common with God. All
these experiments leave one emp
ty-handed and we find life all vani-
ty.
The Solution
This disillusioned Preacher
finally comes to himself. He thinks
of his early training, before the
evil days came upon him. He sums
it all up when he says, Fear God,
and keep his commandments" He
finally found the truth, the crux OF
the matter. Like the Prodigal Son,
he came to himself, and decided to
return to his Father.
1t might be a wise thing to ex-
pertinent in life, but the expert
ments should be in accord with
well established facts. This writer
was an inductive philosopher who
took nothing at face value. He is
the chap who sees Fresh Paint
tackled on the wall, and puts his
finger on it just to see If it is
fresh. Youth is just like that. They
hear but fail to heed the advice
and admonition of their elders, on
ly to pay dearly. Benjamin Frank
lin said, Experience keeps dear
school, but fools will learn in nc
other way"
A youngster might well consider
the days of his youth. 1t is said
that Dean Swift, a famous English
divine, arrived late one day il
London and looking at his watch
saw that he had but two minute:

Service At
LIST Baptist

On Sunday morning, the sermon
topic at the First Baptist Church
will be taken from Second Corin-
thians 9:15 Thanks be to God for
His Unspeakable Gift
It is safe to say that about moth.
ing in human history has so much
been spoken as about this gift OF
God. One moments thought of all
the literature of the Christian
Church will prove that this is so.
Yet, it remains an unspeakable
gift; a gift about which, however
much may be said, the final thing
can never be said.
Act Of Grace
The Gift-given by God-for the
salvation of the world-not sent tc
those who merited Him-was given
as an act of Grace to poor, wretch.
ed, and unworthy humanity.
The manner in which this Gift
was bestowed (D BY promise, as
to our first parents, to Adam, to
Abraham. (2) In types and sha-
dows, as set forth in the Old Testa.
ment in ancient sacrifices - the
lamb, the scape goat. 60 In pro.
phecies of the Old Testament, "To
Him bare all the prophets wit
ness" like great painting, with
each one of the prophets adding
his touch of the brush. (4) In the
fullnesS of time, at the time, place,
and manner fOretold by the pro.
phetS.
Gods Gift is unspeakable in its
value, in its origin, which is the
love of God, in its worth, in the
benefits bestowed. In Him we have
light, life, pardon, peace, adoption,
boldness, and eternal glory. 1t de-
mands grateful thanks.
Ordinance Of Baptism
At the beginning of the evening

Rogers Topic {
Is "Time Is
Running Out"

This is a time for serious reflec-
tion and meditation. The New Year
is just around the corner and it is
customary to take one glance at
the past, then after you add up all
the gains and subtract the losses,
make resolutions as to what we ex-
pect to make out of the coming
year.
In line with this thought the Rev.
erend Mr.. Rogers has selected for
his sermon topic this week, "Time
is Running OUT
The first service will be conduct
ed in the open at the Stock Island
Drive-in Theatre at 8:45 Sunday
morning. The regular service then
will be conducted at the Chapel,
535. Francis Street at IL o'clock.
Sunday School
The Sunday School will be held
at ten o'clock under direction of
Mr.. Ralph Noble and the Youth
Fellowship will meet at $50 pm.
under direction of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Padgett.
Visitors and Service families will
find a most cordial welcome at
these services.
Speaking of his sermon Mr.. Rog-
ers has said that occasionally pa
tient is told that his physical con-
dition is such that he has but a
short time to live.
To the Christian, this should
mean nothing since he is engaged
daily in the duties of his faith. One
saint asked what he would do If he
knew that he had just one more
day to live. replied, I'D just keep
on hoeing my garden" :"
It's a wonderful consolation to
know that one has done the best he
could along the way, knowing all
along that the time would eventual
" come when he would join 1.-The
innumerable caravan, which moves
to that mysterious realm, where
each shall take his chamber In
the silent halls of death.
One saint who recently passed
away. knowing all the time that
her days were numbered, said
..There is so much to do and such
a short time to do it,"
We're naturally procrastinators,
nutting off until tomorrow what
should be done today. What are we
doing for our neighbor, for the
Kingdcga of God? Why stand We
here all the day idle?" (Mt. 20:6)

BASIC THOUGHT OF CHRISTMAS is
GOODWILL TO OUR FELLOWMEN

Yes tomorrow is Christmas. How long does it seem
since last Christmas? To children it to be long,
long tme but to adults particularly those in advanced
life, it yesterday" the Bible says about
thousand years after they are passed and gone.
It makes difference how long you may live, what
appears to be the longest time in life is the time between
childhood and twenyone Those years are snail
paced We have heard many say it seemed to him
that he would attain the year that is viewed as the
beginning of manhood But when he becomes twenty yone
the passage of time begins shorter and the long
er he lives shorter be- Birthday annversar
les comes faster and faster the longer life goes
But whether last Christmas to you long,
long time, yesterday its significance is the
the observance of the birth of the Author of Christianity
the worlds greatest force for good. That truth is firm
and fast regardless of the you observe celebrate
Christmas You may be listening to the singing of Silent
Night" written than century ago, to Irving
Bern's "White Christmas of the last few years,
watching fireworks display, yet the basic thought of
Christmas remains unchanged "Peace earth, good
will to all men,"
"Peace" at first thought, seemingly is the i'm
portant word, but it isn't Peace is dependent good
will, for without goodwill can't have peace The Rus
slams prate about peace but if they had goodwill there
would not be any need of their pratng The kind of
peace they giving the world stems from chicanery
not goodwill.
If you have goodwill toward your fellowmen, not
only during the Christmas but also all the tme
you may be sure you live an exemplary life.
The Citizen is not going to preach about the great
Importance of goodwill in werounded life, for every
and is of that truth. Were it adhered
to by everybody then would have that that
announced in connection with the birth of the Author of
Christmas.
The Citizen wishes its readers and the public gener-
ally Christmas of cheer and goodwill, together with
thankfulness for the life we have to live.

BY CAMERON p. HoFF
We heard the bells at Christmas.
Over the frozen rice paddles they
pealed their joyful song. Salvaged
form some ruined temple where
once a pagan god was worshipped,
their melodic voices now praised
tke living God. From the thatch-
rooted native dwellings bright-eyed
babies and wrinkled old papa
sans" watched in wonder as the
graceful, lighted Christmas tree
shed its colorful radiance upon the
frozen parade ground. Where only
Christmas ago the sullen throb
of bombers filled the air, now the
heavens were glad with the sound
of carols.
We heard the bells at Christmas
as we gathered in our chapel on
the hill. A hundred candles spoke
softly to the night, and we remem-
bered when lights were afraid to
shine as we listened in the unre-
lieved darkness and sirens Shrek
ed their warning. We know the
meaning of silent night. We have
lived through other nights made
hideous by the shrek of shrapnel,
the deadly chatter of machine gun
and rifle, the dull crash of enemy
mortar and artillery. Now in sill
ent night "all is calm, all is
bright"
We heard the bells at Christmas
while we remembered those for
whom the bells tolled not many
months ago. They were among the
worshipers last Christmas, meeting
in tiny groups wherever the chap
lain could call a congregation TO-
gether. They gave their lives on
the treacherouS raids and patrols
in mo mans land" They died
valiantly on savage Korean hills in
a war-spawned hell of steel and
flame and fantastic enemy hordes.
Now the bells are singing, "Sleep
in heavenly peace, sleep in heaven
ly peace"
We heard the bells at Christmas,
and they brought to mind the
church bells that ring out in coun-
try and city and town back home.
Some of our men are spending
their first Christmas far from their
homes and loved ones. There are
lonely hearts in Korea at Christ
mas. Many of the familiar Christ
mas customs are missing. All but
the simplest holiday trappingS are
absent. The mission of American
forces in Korea cannot pause even
for this holy day. The lonely out
posts overlooking the demarcation
zone must be manned. The fortifi-
ed bunkers and the long main bat
tie positions must be occupied.
When you heard the bells at
Christmas did you remember to
pray that the peace of which the
angels sang might come to our
troubled and sinful world? When
you enjoyed the beauty and glad
ness of the holy season, did you re-
member to thank God for homes
bright with the light of love, land
] blessed with the bounty of the Al

Husband Mike ,O'Shea wanted
Virginia to play a movie star in

Chrysler, but Warmers refused
permission. They have a tie-up

compared acting for the stage
and screen: You have to be more

But Paul misses the familiarity
that comes with a role after it is
played night after night on the
stage.

Columbia owns for the screen,
how about Aldo Ray for the
