SIX-INCH SERMON
By REV. ROBERT H. HARPER
EXALTING CHRIST IN THE
LIFE OF THE NATION
Lesson for December 16: Isaiah 9:2
3, 6-7; Luke 1:26-38.
Light has always been associated
with life, from Creation to the pres
ent. The Greeks regarded their su
preme god. Zeus, as the light giver, i
Jesus came as the Light of the
World. In the moral darkness pre- j
valent at the time of His coming the j
world greatly needed the revelation
of God and the teaching of the Mas- j
ter.
Isaiah foreshadowed the fulfill
ment of David's kingdom, not as a
kingdom such as David ruled, but
as the heavenly kingdom, the spir^
itual empire that should have no
end.
Luke writes of the angel's proph
ecy to Mary of the Child's coming
and His greatness. His name would
be Jesus, a later form of Joshua, ?
meaning Saviour. The Son of the
Most High, he would reign over the
house of Jacob forever. Mary's |
question implied that she found the \
wondrous tidings mystifying, the :
angel told her that Elizabeth in old
age would bring forth a son ? the
great forerunner of Jesus ? and add
ed that "no word from God shall
be void of power." Then said Mary,
"Behold the handmaid of the Lord; I
be it unto me according to thy j
word."
Consider now how the coming of I
Jesus exalted Mary and has exalt- 1
ed womankind, children, and the
home. And as we approach the
Christmas season, with thanksgiving j
that it will be much better than the j
last, let us think again of what the |
ccming of Jesus has brought to tthe 1
world, and dedicate ourselves anew 1
with hope and zeal to the blessed
work of spreading the joy of His
coming as far as our hands can
reach.
om the less tender cuts, but make sure
the meat is fresh and kept clean and
cold. Never mix 4n scraps of doubtful

I salt to the pound of ground meat, mlx
i ing well.

3. Pack cakes hot. Leave 1 inch above

use the fat in canning.
5. Add to the meat juice and use in

above meat in jars for head space.

in jars.

Each Swiss Canton
- Has Own Traditions i
Winter beauty and winter i porta ,
reach the acme perfection in .
Switzerland by Christmas time. For I
many of the natives, however, this
glad season signifies in addition a ,
period full of sacred mystery and
the anniversary of days particularly
specified in ancient legends.
However, the ruddy ? cheeked St. ,
Nicholas has in some parts of the
country been supplanted by the
Chris tkindli, or Chris r child. This
lovely angel is said to have come
from the Far North and it always
brings to each home it visits a
Christmas tree, decorated with
all the glittering things associated
with fairyland and heavily laden
with gifts.
Forecasting with Onions.
If you want, for instance, to find
out how the weather will be during
the next year, cut, on Christmas
Eve, an onion into half; peel off 12
layers, one for each month, and
fill the same with salt. Those peel
ings which contain damp salt the
next morning predict rainy weather
for the respective month.
Young people who are anxious to
learn something about their matri
monial prospects are advised to
drink three times from nine differ
ent fountains, when the church bells
are ringing on Christmas Eve and
they will then behold their future
mate standing at the church door.
"Zucher Tirggel," a kind of i
Christmas cookie that have been
made in Switzerland many centuries, {
are an essential feature of the holi
days, particularly In the neighbor
hood of Zurich. Wooden molds dat- ,
Ing back to the 17th and 18th cen- 1
turies are still used. The so-called
"Tirggel sentences" are very popu
lar, which depict an entire series of
some story. The one In the picture
reads, "So ists gut Relsen" or
"Sleigh riding Is fine."
If you are courageous enough to
consult the oracle as to the logth
of time which is still allotted to you
on earth, take your Bible on Christ
mas Eve and the first psalm which
strikes your eye contains in stanzas
the number of years which you are
yet given to live.
