GIFT WRAPPING PARTY WV. FROM AMERICAN INSTITUTE or BAKING

Tsis the week before Christmas and all over the house are stacks of wrappings and packages. Why not make a little party and invite a few relatives or friends to join in the fun of wrapping and ty ing. Such an occasion calls for a buffet-type meal which will feature cold weather food. A savory dish is DOUBLE DECK FIR PORK CHOPS AND FRUIT SHUTTING. The stuffing is made of chopped, tart apples, cranber- ries and cubed enriched bread. Garnished with Christmas-red crab apples, this dish makes a complete dinner with just the addition of vegetables and pip ing hot Brown n Serve rolls.

With Lent almost at the halfway mark, the
penitential character of the observance of the sea-
son is interrupted briefly, it might be said, by
Laetare Sunday, when the liturgy takes on
joyful tone: rose-coIored vestments replace the

day. sounds forth; flowers return to the altar.
Why is this? What lesson is the Church impart-
ing TO US?
We should, by now, have found ourselves
capable of controlling our appetites, and this
in itself is a cause for rejoicng we should
feel ourselves nightly uplifted by prayer, medi-
tation and participation in he special religious
exercises in the Lenten time, and this too. de-

ly restraints or hardships can deprive us OF
happiness while we possess this divinely-pur-
chased liberty, just as no worldly pleasures or
privileges can Of themselves give us true happi-
ness
Men want security, too, in order to be happy,
and no security of arms or wealth has any mean-
ing compared to the security of Gods care and
Gods mercy offered to those who are faithful
and loyal TO Him.
And men need food for happiness; Sundays
Gospel tells of how Christ fed, by the perform
ance of miracle, the great crowd" which fol-
lowed Him, figure of the food for the souls
which He has made available, in the Holy Eu-
charist, to all who continue to follow Him.
So we have cause for rejoicing, indeed, since
we have been granted liberty, full and rich; we
have been granted the security of Gods protec-
ton, available at our petition in any need or
danger; we have been provided with an unfail
ing source of nourishment for our souls. Well
may we then, on this Laetare Sunday, excaim

come together all you that love her; rejoice with
Joy, you that have been in sorrow"

More Than Our Moneys Worth

Usually when we do part to help the
works of charity Of organizations, however good,
we do not see at first hand the actual good they
do. This is particularly applicable to our partic

the works done in our name by Catholic Relief

The amount of good the Bishops were able to
do through this organization in 1856 is unbe-
lievable when totaled More than forty million
people all over the earth were helped. Through
iudicious use of the S5000000 obtained in last
years Laetare Sunday collection more than $50
million dollars worth of food, clcthng, and medi-
