years he served the church OF Christ IN
several capacities. His uniform Christ

MOMENT OF REFLECTION

amidst the general call TO happi-
ness, the hustle of the spirit, and stir Of
affection, which prevail at this period.
what bosom can remain insensible?
1t is, indeed, the season of regenerated
feeling the season for kindling not
merely the fire of hospitality in the
home, but the genial flame of charity
in the heart.
1.-The scenes of childhood again rise
green to memory beyond the sterile
waste of years, and the idea of home,
fraught with the fragrance of home
dwelling joys, teammates the dropping
spirit as the Arabian breeze will some-
times watt the freshness of distant fields
to the weary pilgrim of the desert.
Away from home, and among strange
people as one may be-though for him
no social hearth may blaze. no hospit-
able roof throw open its doors, nor the
warm grasp of friendship welcome him
at the threshold-yet he may feel the in
fluence of the season beaming into his
soul from the happy looks of those
around him. Surely happiness is re-
Elective. like the light of heaven; and
every countenanee bright with smiles,
and glowing with innocent enjoyment,
is mirror transmitting TO others the
rays of supreme and evorshining be-
nevolerce.
'He who can turn sellishly away from
contemplating the felicity of his fellow
beings, and sit down gloomily, and re-
pining in his lonliness when all around
is joyful, may have his moments of
strong excitement and selfish gratilica-
ton, but he wants the genial and social
sympathies which constitute the charm
of Merry Christmas and "A Happy New
Year.
These were the thoughts of Irving;
and coming as they do from one who
knew what it was TO be alone in the
world, and understood what it meant TO
undergo The reverses of fortune and MI
that cause so many to be down hearted
and detected, as result of his sympa-
thetic nature and love for his fellow
being he possessed all that constitute
the charms of this season-the Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year.

William r. Jackson died at his resi-

and 4 months. William jackson was
born in the village of Port Cornwall,
England, in the year 1878 During his
early childhood he possessed very
meek and quiet spirit In after years
and up to manhood he was favored with
such a degree of the fear OF God. which
is the beginning of wisdom. that he was
graciously preserved from that course
which commonly markes the period Of
youth. In 1871 he married Miss
Thoma :, of Redrulh, now his sorrow
ing widow. In the early part of 1915
he earnestly sought the Lord: he wrest
