 Christmas Thoughts.
 How many who have received the Christ fail to give like the Christ.
 "rls not always the great who receive vision of the angels. Many of Gods lowly shepherds hear the songs of the Sera- phim.
 Peace Peace. What a blessed message for warning world.
 The stars lead some men, not to the manager, but to the precipicc.
 Gold for love: frankincensc for deeds ; myrrh for penitcncc for sin.
 Let us love our children more for the coming of the Christ child.
 How wonderful that, ,thc All Mightiness should stoop to the all humility.
 None who read the story of the babe of Bethlehem need despair. For if God gave us His Son, He will not fail to give us of His loving aid in our troubles.
 The hope of immortality makes heroes of towards.
 A Christian is Il man who is restoring Gods likeness to His character.-[ Rob ertson.
 A great many men employ the first of their years to make thier last msera- ble. Spare when young and spend when old
 Why cannot men begin to glorify God with n yard stick, 4 pair of shears, hand saw and n pen in their hands and not wait for golden harpst
 Very much less than we think does our happiness depend upon what is external to us. If there be no Heaven within, all the cXternalities of an out ward Heaven would be insufficient to produce happness.-[ Dr Reuen Thomas.

 Never despond; never say, "It is too late" Fear not, even if you relapse again, again. If you fall, do not lie grovelling, but rise upon your feet once more and struggle bravely on. And, ii aroused conscience make you suffer keenly, have patience to bear it. God will not let you suffer more than you need to fit you for grace.-[Margaret Fuller.
 IThe one who will be found in trial capable of great acts of love Is ever the one who is always doing considerate small ones.-[F. W. Robertson.
 Personal purity is a priceless possess sion. Suppose that the foulness leaves no stain on the cheek and the illicit con nection is never discovered by human eyes, no sophistry can hide from the wrong doer himself the blazing record of the act of wantonness. Self respect crouches beneath the lashes of guilty conscience, and there Is no Iethean tide that can wash from the memory the ac- cusing lines. The warning finger which Solomon placed at the gateway of that downward course wherein he had suffer- ed, and along which he had seen so rrnany wrecks, is illumined with ghastly light that must attract every eye. The words of the wise man are repeated from n thousand startling echoes as the re- verb erations of the tragedy fall on every ear. No man can take fire in his bosom and not be burned, therefore no one who enters upon life of impurity may hope to escape the revealing blaze. "Avoid 1t, pass not by it, turn fromit, and pass away, are the warnings that Wisdom utters to all who come near the seductive path. And the Grave in n deep under tone repeats the solemn word.--l New York Journal of Commerce..
