Now right at this point is where Science stumbles over nature, and fails to see the forest for the trees or the yen for the heart beat. Imagine advising a young that if his heart skips a beat meeting a girl, he have his heart examined, and if it is healthy he marry the girl.

Robert R. McCormick, a reprint of a speech or an article which he wrote; and the other a piece by John T. Flynn. The latter cares so little about accuracy that he doesn't point out the differences between UNESCO and the Economic and Social Council! His theme seems to be that UNESCO is a propaganda organization that is devoting its entire time to misleading our children and to making them give their allegiance to "One World," which, according to him, UNESCO invented: The "One World" expression, so far as I ever knew it, was first made popular by the late Wen dell Willkie. There was nothing wrong in his conception, nor is there anything wrong in the way UNESCO or any of the rest of us may nappen to use it.

Whether Mr. Flynn likes it or not, transportation and communication in the modern world have hroneht ne mh physically, to being one than we ever knew before. That is why it is a good thing to know about the rest of the world because In so many ways we can't escape being touched by what happens in it That is absolutely all anyone is suggesting to the youth of the world.

Also, because of the story of his having brought his brother to the Lord, Andrew has been taken as patron by the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, a men's organization of the Episcopal Church. Memhers of the Brotherhood are pledged to "bring Christ. Tradition Andrew was crucified on an shaped cross. That is why the is called a St.

Andrew's cross. if you know a man whose first name is Francis and whose middle initial te you may be pretty sure he is named for St. Francis Xavier, one. of the most important missionaries of all time, is honored on Tuesday, Dec. 2.

Xavier was a professor of philosophy at the University of Pans when he met Ignatius Loyola, who at that lime was just getting the Jesuit order started. Inspired by Loyola, he left his University post and set out for the Orient. From 1542 on, his life was spent in India and Japan and he, more than any other man, is responsible for the plant ing of Christianity in Asia. He dreamed, too, of carrying the Gospel to China, but he died on Dec. 2, 1552, while on his way there from Japan.

ine Dusiest of all the saints and probably the most popular is Nicholas. He is the patron of Russia. He is also patron of travellers, of persons in sudden distress, of sailors and of girls who are having a hard time finding a husband. Besides all tins, he is patron saint and Santa Claus to millions of children. Nicholas was a wealthy man in Asia Minor in the Fourth Century.

When he died, in 324, he was Archbishop of Myra. There are many legendary tales about him, two of which account for his present position in our hearts. One has to do with a family Myra in which there were three daughters of marriageable age who had no dowries. St. Nicholas secretly provided the dowries by throwing gold night8 ta thB irl8' wind0W8 Some say it is from this story that pawnbrokers get their sign the three gold balls.

That is not certain, but there can be no doubt that the custom of giving presents, on St. Nicholas' Day comes from the presents he gave these three ladies The other story is about two children whom St. Nicholas brought back to life after they had been butchered by an innkeeper It was this miracle that made St; Nicholas the patron of children. Combine the two traditions the giving of presents and a love tor children and inevitably you have a saint who stands for the giving of presents to children.
