guide him rightly for many q day he'd
sought
And there not single volume on the
shelves above or below
That could throw any light on the problem
that puzzled and yexed him so.
For the harvest season was over, and Christ
mas was close at hand,
And the glow of the rising splendor already H.
lumed the land;
And there on the desk before him, In orderly
neatnesS lay
The sermon he meant to deliver to his people
on Christmas day.
So twas not this that disturbed him, nor was
he q moment veXcd
By any doubt or delusion in regard to his
chosen text;
For he preached but simple gospel, in Ian
guage as terse and plain
AS the smooth. round pebbles that David took
when the mighty giant was slain
The pastor thought Of his little flock, the chill
dren great and small,
And great was the loving kindness with which
he regarded all:
And yet wave of trouble ran over his heart
because
They thought much less OF Jesus Christ than
they did Of Santa Claus.
For and another whispered-their words
had an eager ring
''WEat shall l get on Christmas? What will
Santa Claus bring?'
And as everywhere ana ever the thirst for
gain increased
The charm of kingly presence was missed
from the royal feuSt
The pastor sat in his study when his good
wife opened the door,
And together they held communion and talked
the trouble DER;
And She being quick OF fancy, in moment or
two had planned
A better way for keeping the day that was now
SO close at hand.
The pastor gave tie notice from the pulpit,
next Sabbath morn,
And to brain and heart, like swift-winged
dart. was the startling message borne,
For he spoke in words of fire the truth they
must all believe:
1.-THE Master has said: 1T IS far more blessed
to give than to recei"o;'
And If at the Christmas season you'd be richly
and truly blest
Bring hther your votiye of1ering,-and let it
be OF your BEST
And give to the poor around you with generous
heart and hand,
That peace and goodwill to men may fill tie
length anu breadth OF the land"
Twas early in bleak December the barrels
came rolling in
The farmers sending their choicest from we'll
stored barn and bin:
There were apples and pears In plenty and
pumpkins, yellow as gold,.
ana nuts ana potatoes, together enough Tor q
vessels hold ..-
And bags on bags OF flour and OF coffee and
chests of t"a
And strings OF onions and peppers oh twas
goodly sight to see
And the work Of nimble fingers to such an
amount was there,
1t seemed as il the collection outrivaled the
County Fair
There were dolls OF assorted sizes. and some
that had been much used,
For the little folks had nought else to give and
not gift was refused
For the pastor would teach the lesson to chill
dren OF tender years.
That the gift that secures q blessing must be
COnSecrated with tears.
Oh, crisp and Gear Christmas dawned that
year: the church was with holly drest,
And the bells rang out merry chime that
echoed from east to west;
And around the altar and down the aisles were
baskets and barrels slowed
While up on the pulpit and into the pews the
gifts had overf1owed

Life Of General Sherman.

No literary announcement OF the year
is Of grearter interest to the general public
han that of a comprehensive Life ofGen-
eral Sherman, which is abou to be pub
lished aud sold through agents by the
noted house of Hubbard Brothers, OF
Philadelphia. Admirable biographies of
Grant and Sheridan, complete to the time
of their death, arc already familiar 10 the
public, but a life Of the third great COM
mander, to finish the series, has beer
lacking. The variaus biographies of
Sherman hitherto published have neces-
sarily been incomplete; and oven his own
memoirs, written in 1873, said almost
nothing OF his intensely interesting life,
and not Il word of course, of the more Than
twenty years of social activity and frater-
nifty with old comrades since the war.
The work which is now TO be ISSUED will
splendidly supply the widely felt demand
for a history OF the great strategic COM
mander. 1t IS being written by General
o. o. Howard, a man of fine literary
attainments, who knew Sherman better
than any other of his commanders now
living, and ranked next but one 10 him In
the army, and by Willis Fletcher Johnson
whose ability as a historian is familiar to
the reading public of America through
his former unusually popular works,
which had millions Of readers, and the

sales of their vast editions enriched an
army of book agents. That this history
Of Sherman, the last Of the great Generals,
will surpass all others in popularity is not
TO be doubted.
The story of this great Generals career
Is of a marvellous march from the noun
tains of time to the sea of eternity. OF the
three great war heroes, Sherman was by
far the most interesting personality. He
was the best known To the public and the
best loved for his genial disposition and
warm sympathy with the popular heart.
lie has Joined his illustrious compeers
in his eternal bivouac of the the death.
His is n life to study-to emulate-and is
a profound inspiration. The forthcoming
volume will toll the whole story of his
marvellous career, and from the author
ship engaged upon il we arc assured it will
be told in "A way that will enthral the
Interest of every reader from first to last.
1t Is a book every American will want
and ono every American youth should
read. IL will doubtless be the best life of
the great chieftain published, and we
predict for il wonderful popularity.
