This truth is slowly dawning These hectic and depressing days The suspense^ that some are en during , Would be almost impossible to bear If God did not give strength and courage. In answer to their fervent prayer. The world has grown so wicked The righteous have no show at all Sunday is no longer kept holy But spent in riotous living and brawl. It is becoming a Sodom and Gormorrah. But we know God is in charge And will bring order out of chaos And his dominion on earth enlarge. We see signs ot improvement already Neighbors are more consid erate and kind Visiting and sympathizing with each other Helping the needy from time to time. This story comes from war torn Europe And happened in a small town Where a Catholic Church was partly demolished. By bombs that were hurled down. I Catholics throughout the' known world Celebrate on Christmas Eve Christ’s • Birth with a mass at midnight In honor of this advent on earth. Soldiers of every nationality and creed Out of pity and kidness of heart Went to work and repaired the Church, Each one faithfully doing his part. When finished they took up a Cbllection of two hundred dol lars For the good priest and his poor Listen to another story that follows: A General gave orders to his men That all must work on Christ mas day Several Jews offered to take their places. So the Christian soldiers could celebrate and pray. This is the spirit that is neces sary To win the war and stop the fight Let us pray to our Heavenly Father That this day will soon be in sight. —Mrs. J. M. Lee.

Get Good Furniture on Easy Terms . Well, As / Figure It, We’rr Better Off Than They.' Now What Have They That We Haven't? ‘ Jane Stanford * turned * slowly before' the full length mirror. The dress, she thought, was a trifle low. It showed too much of her back to look really de cent, but the Jong full skirt seemed to be rather slenderizing and that was important, since for the last four or five years she had put on a few pounds. Even though she was resolved to diet, she’d lose it or starve to death—she seemed never to get started and instead of losing she kept adding a few ounces so gradual like she never realized it until she’d weigh. She picked up the hand niirrow to get a view of the back of her hair—a coiffure arranged by her daugh ter Loris. She’d thought to go to a beauty parlor but the dress had cost more than she’d in tended to pay and when one had two sons in college and a daugh ter in high school one had to watch the pennies, and Loris had a knack for doing hair. "Oh, Mother you look just plain elegant.’’ Loris was stand ing in the door-way admiring her mother. "More plain than elegant, I imagine,” Jane laughed. “No. Mother, honestly you’re a knock-out. You’ll simply bowl ’em all over tonight.” , “Such language?’*’ Jane re proved, secretly feeling a little flattered by this praise coming from her' critical sixteen year old. “Hasn’t your father come home yet?” “Here I am now!” Boomed her husband dodging Loris on her way out and precipitating himself into the room like a cyclone, his coat landing on a bed. "Get the glad rags laid out for me?” One shoe hit the floor—then another. “Use your eyes,” Jane said dabbing a bit of expensive per fume on the lobe of each ear, “and please hurry, Roger. We mustn’t be late—all those im portant people—.” “Who’s so important?’ ’ grunt ed her husband. “Well Marje and Joe Douning and Maybe Fred-and Alice Stew art.” “Small town stuff—like our selves,” Roger commented, “But not any more,” Jane insisted. “Marje and Joe have gone places—as Loris would say, “the’re in the money now.” “Maybe so,” Roger agreed, “but I cant say I envy them. ! Got any kids?” u “No—I think not,” Jane said slowly. "Well, as I figure It, we’re better off than they, ( Now what have Fred and Alice Stewart that we haven’t?” “Oh. Rosier,” Jane laughed. He had come to stand behind her to adjust his tie before the mirror. “You sound as if you resent my feeling that they are superior to us. Fred is a play wright and Alice has been on the stage and still may be for all I know. They have two hoys, I think and have made a mint of money and well, after all, Roger ■ we’re just an ordi nary couple.” “You look quite extra ordinary to me old Lady!” he said bend ing to plant a kiss on the back of her neck. Arriving at the party, they found several of the guests al ready there. Among them, Joe and Marje Douning and at the farther side of the room Jane saw Alice Stewart seated quietly in an obscure corner. But Fred seemed to be absent. , Marje gushed effusively over their greeting. She was as slen der and pretty as ever, but a close-up showed Jane that she too had wrinkles and her hair well, it definitely had a dyed look.' Involuntarily, Jane put a hand to her own graying locks. Joe came up to join them, pompous and loud. Evidently he’d had one drink too many and Jane was glad when he moved on. Later in the evening Jane saw her hostess deliver a mes sage to Alice Stewart. As she read it her face paled and Jane caught the look of stark tragedy in her eyes as she made her excuses and disappeared. "What ever do you and Roger do here?” It was Marje again. “Isn’t it awfully dull?” “I’ve never thought of it in that way,” Jane laughed. “We have three children, you know, and things are never really very dull. We are just ordinary small town folks. I guess, and do the usual small town things. Go to church on Sunday, listen to the radio programs, see a good show when one happens to qome our way and have our social, gatherings.” “I’m afraid I’d be bored to dead drunk in their hotel rod Alice came early, she spillei lot of her troubles to me. , very sorry for her. but Ml Douning—well, sympathy wc be wasted there.” i “What do you mean—I hav noticed anything wrong us| “Then you haven't been n ing the papers—scandal tttti fast; It has to do with Joe i another woman. But here I gossiping and a good hdsi doesn't talk about her gui at least,” she laughed, ’*U they’re out of the house. ^ Jparje Douning has that suj ior Condescending manner . it just burns irie up.” She a ed on and Jarie was glad wl it was time to go home.
