THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK A man may go to Heavenwithout health, without fame, without great learning, without a great name, without big earnings, without culture, and without friends, without a thousand other things, but he can never go to Heaven without Christ. Jesus said. “1 am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6).

Later, in 1850, paraffin wax was developed and combined with stearic acid to make candles of the modem type. Bayberry candles with their delicate scent are especially popular at Christmas. and they are said to bring good luck to the home. The bayberry candle is uniquely American. Bayberry bushes grew in great abundance in the new world, and after learning to extract the greenish wax from the wild bayberries, the Pilgrims used it to make candles.

Children's sharing at Christmas time

WEST LAFAYETTE - Christmas is a time for both giving and receiving of gifts, and as such it is often an extremely happy time. Raymond T. Coward, extension specialist in child development and family life at Purdue university, reminds parents that the custom of giving gifts at Christmas offers an opportunity to teach children some valuable lessons about sharing. Studies of sharing behaviors in children have identified two major experiences which seem to contribute to development of positive sharing. Children learn to share by observing the sharing behavior of others who are important in their lives (such as parents), and by experiencing that behavior under positive circumstances. Here are some suggestions on how to involve children in the custom of Christmas gift-giving so as to use the experience as a lesson in sharing. — Parents need to provide opportunities for children to earn money with which to buy or make

presents. One aspect of sharing is some sacrifice on the part of the giver. Children who are given money with which to buy gifts never experience this sacrificial aspect of sharing. If money cannot be earned, then children should be encouraged to collect materials to make gifts. Dr. Coward urges. — Children need to participate actively in selecting presents. Although it may be easier for Mother simply to buy a present for the child to give Daddy, the act of selecting the gift heightens for the child the meaning of the sharing experience, the specialist says. Guidance certainly is advisable for young children; however, it is important that the child be actively involved in selection. — Children should also actively participate in wrapping presents. The end product may not be as beautiful as if adults had done it alone, but again, this participation increases the meaning of the total sharing experience for the child. — When receiving a gift from a

child, parents should respond in a positive manner. Dr. Coward advises. Although the tie Daddy receives may not be the exact color he would have chosen himself, it does represent a true expression of the child’s sharing and should be accepted as such. Make the sharing experience a pleasant one for both the receiver and the giver. A living memorial News of the sudden death of a loved one or friend can bring complex and painful feelings. A terrible sense of personal loss accompanies the sorrow. The loss of someone close is difficult to accept, especially when the death occurs without warning. We offer words of consolation to a bereaved family, but this thought persists: Why did he have to die? Why so soon? A major cause of premature death in this country is heart disease. In 1976, it will claim the lives of more than one million Americans. Chief among these are heart attack, stroke and hypertensive disease. High blood pressure, a major contributor to these killer diseases, afflicts 23 million Americans. Through a memorial gift to your Heart association, you can establish a living tribute to one who has died and at the same

time assist the effort to reduce the frightening toll from heart and blood vessel diseases. When you make a memorial gift, the Heart association sends an appropriate message to the family stating that a gift was made. The amount always remains confidential, but the family knows you cared enough

to create a living memorial in honor of their loved one. Heart and blood vessel diseases can strike, anyone, anywhere, any time. Through a memorial gift to your Heart association, you give a gift of life and help to save the lives of others as well. Give so more will live.
