rejoicing with the children. A beauti-
full silver call bell, marble mounted,
was presented him on behalf of the
pupils by a committee, consisting of
Blanche Oder and Annie Hawke, two
OF the smallest children in the room,
the former of whom came forward and
addressed her teacher as follows:
Mr.. DEWITT-It gives us pleasure to con-
gratuate you upon your recovery from sick
ness and to welcome you again to our school.
As slight mark of this feeling l am COM
missioned by my fellow-pupils to present you
this little bell
We hope it will prove useful in your future
efforts to control and train those under your
charge.
Mr.. Dewitt was greatly affected by
this mark of the children's affection,
and spoke briefly as follows:
Ny LITTLE GIRLS AND Boys-I cannot ex-
press how your kindness has stirred my heart.
In life we somehow or other get used to
sorrow and unkindness, but word or act of
affection is always fresh and new and sweet.
Your goodness has made this day as bright
to me as the sunlight without.
Wishing you happy holidays, l thank you
sincerely.
Although anticipated for several
days by the pupils. Mr.. Dewitt was
completely surprised by the presenta-
tion. The scheme was, therefore,
happily executed. FLADIMUs.

THE Law or HOLIDAY.

Cessation from activity at intervals
is one of the many wise adjustments
Of life. The human constitution,
physical and mental, in growth and
work is punctuated by pauses for
eating, sleeping and recreation.
These come in regular order.
There are also periods of time in
tercalated, so to speak, which fall in
oddly, like birthday anniversaries of
heroes, introducing new rests in the
music Of the future.
If we allow liberty to conjecture
there is reason to believe that there
are lulls in space-brief holiday oc-
casions among the stellar globes.
Lately new star in the great con-
stellation Of Andromeda broke upon
. human sight. 1t was puzzle to the
astronomers. Some declared that its
appearance destroyed the carefully
elaborated theory of the nebular hy-
pothesis of creation. But this body,
sixty millions times larger than the
sun, which sprang, full -orbed, into
existence in night, disappeared al
most as suddenly.
Thus the regular motions of orbit
yield now and then to speclalties Of
astral phenomenal. The incursion of
some wandering sphere diverts at
fractions and brings certain breaks
in the continuity of movement.
Planets now refulgent, now tlickering,
wax and wane like the moon. Even
the suns change of place publishes
eras in ornamental history. The
rosy sunset and cleaning comet, once
mistaken for tokens Of evil, are now
translated into signals of still on
coming ages.
Who knows of how much Joy
among the nebula, Of sidereal festiv,
ity, or ornamental rapture these be-
nign beacons may typify, just as the
"visible universe" has been taken us
''the adumbration of the invisible
God 2"
Giving rein to faith in Scripture,
there was Il great day on high when
the morning stars celebrated the ad
vent of our sphere into the solar
galaxy.
And at the Incarnation, strangely,
though beautifully siglialized by the
star which stood over Bethlehem,
there was gala escort OF the glitter.
ing host.
1t Is this last great event which the
christian world has learned to regard
above all anniversaries.
Whatever may be said against the
