good fortune, could only weep. Happi-
ness was restored to a home that had
been very miserable. As for Adelaide

sensation her acting had caused was so
tremendous that the whole feeling of
her husbands family changed. Italians
are all artists enough to feel pride in
genius like hers, and when she unbur-

longing to return to the stage they gave
their consent, and SO that greatest of all

mean. How do you treat them? We
must not scorn them or shudder before
Them. Familiarity, remember, blunts
the keenest edge. So it is best to con-
slider calmly the possibilities of the
greatest grief and suffering. A heart
broken mother told me once she had
never thought it possible her child could
die, and then I understood her grief
better. She was not prepared for it in
any way; not even the poorest prepare
ton had been made. Do not, by any
means, be morbid, but let us give re-
signed recognition to all possibilities.
We shall be happier and more thankful
if we see the sternest forms of sorrow
turned away from us and standing in
the background. But we must be &C
quainted with them, or else we shall
not be able to discern their distance
even. We must be hopeful and CHEEKY,
filing up our lives with works of love,
and then whatever comes we shall be
prepared to meet it-prepared by
charmed life, the secret of which is mot
to be ministered unto, but to minister"

THE TRUE SPIRIT.

>"Not tn He Minlstered Unto, But to Min
ister."
The New Year has overtaken us and
carried us on with it. Those who stop
to question ask: ''Where?' and
''How?'
The first question NO one can an
swer, but the other is for us to reply to
by our acceptance of what the year
brings us. Our feelings are particular
ly keen just now. Love seems to burn
up brighter on the hearth, no matter
how brightly it burned before. Selfish
ness has for time been conquered.
Our hearts are warm. What has
warmed them?
Tell us, grandma, was it the warm
shawl which you received at Christmas.
or the bright and unusually kind smiles,
that warmed your heart most? Could
it have been the card case from the
thoughtless granddaughter who knew
you never made calls, or was it the
sweet thought that she had not forgot
ten you, which made you happy?

ANOTHER CHRISTMAS.

Some of the Many Things We May Conf
IDENTIFY Expect with the Day.
Another Christmas day is about to
dawn, and the Customary thanks are
awaiting the customary presents, and
everybody is prepared to criticise the
Christmas sermons, and compare the
weather of this year with the weather
of last year, and we are all ready to
wish all our friends .sMerry Christ
mas and good many more Of them.
We speak softly of those who are
gone, and recall with tenderness. the
gracious memory of their sweet pres
ence; we wonder where we shall be next
year at this time, and we all hope for
something better and more satisfactory
as time goes on.
The young people sigh because Christ
mas comes but once a year; the old peo-
pie are sad because it comes so often.
The man of large family and lean
pocketbook wishes it did not come at
all, and the hungry boy, with his grow
ing appetite, welcomes it as an epoch of
plum pudding and turkey, with all the
''stuffing" he can eat, and pound cake
in unlimited quantities to top off with.
The churches hang their walls with
graceful ferns and evergreens; the
choir practices for week beforehand
on some noted anthem with zigzag
quavers and trills in it, and the good
and hard-worked pastor changes pull
pits with a brother in some adjacent
town, and by this arrangement the two
manage to work off their last years
sermons on the new and unsuspecting
congregation. And who can blame
them? For if it does not require genius
to say something entirely new on the

Make the New Year q Happy One.

Make the New Year q Happy One.
Everyone of our actions finds it's re-
Fiction in the life of some one else. No
matter how humble may be our sur
roundings, we have an influence on
some other life. Individual good cheer
means general happiness. If we are
bright we brighten our neighbor; the
neighbor is an emissary to the commu-
nifty, and the community, in turn, to
the great world at large.
Thus in the year before us we have it
pretty nuch in our own hands. Ma
tional advantages are ours; we need
only supply the individual elements.
The past is valuable only for the les
sons it can teach; the present for it's OPP
portunities; the future for it's POSSIBLE
tiles. Whatever the past year may
have meant to you make it dead his
tory. But let the new year be living
issue. With a big, fresh sponge, drip
ping with the clear water of forgive
ness, wipe clean the slate of your heart.
Enter the year with a kind thought for
everyone. You need not kiss the hand
that smote you, but grasp it in cordial
good feeling, and let the electricity of
your own resolves find its connecting
current-which very often exists where
we think it not, An ill-natured thought
often makes us unhappier than the per-
son to whom it is directed. A happy
mind is an elixir, and as are the spirits
of the wife in the home, so will be
those of the husband, who in turn will
carry them into the outer world. Do
nestle happiness often colors CONNER
cial prosperity. The hearthstone is the
corner of the counting-room. An un-
happy wife makes blue merchant. As
we men live at home, so we work in the
outer world.
Therefore, to the thousands, yea,
may say the million and more of women
to whom speak with these words, let
me say: Make the new year happy
one in your home; be bright of dispo-
sition; carry your cares easy; let your
heart be as sunshine, and your life will
give warmth to all around you. And
thus will you and yours be happy

It took us over a week, and several of
the boys were badly frost-bitten. We

far we walked; I hardly knew in
what direction we were going; my
one thought was to keep moving.
The poor fellow near me was complete
~ gone, and lay down to sleep. 1
begged him to get up, to try to move. I
beat him; 1 dragged him along; but he
only begged to be left alone. grabbed
him by the collar and just pulled him
along, stopping to rest every few min
utes couldn't see; couldn't feel;
myself longed to lie down in the soft
snow and go to sleep. Then thought
of the dear ones at home; would never
see them again. This gave me
renewed energy, and, dragging
my half-lifeless comrade, stumb-
ling under the weight of the
pack, plunged on. Finally was COM
pletely done; I couldn't go another
step; felt that death couldn't be far
off. Oh, the utter misery of despair of
that moment! sank down and cried
in utter helplessness. 1 don't know
what made me, but I struggled to my
feet once more and called again and
again, but the storm only Knocked me,
and sank down once more. I was so
sleepy and tired, and it was SO nice and
soft lying in the snow. The next
thing I remember was feeling some
whisky being poured down my throat,
and then that I was being dragged
through the snow and that 1 was home
and safe. Well, boys, do you know
who did it? Why, it was that little
woman sitting SO quiet by the fire,
there. It appears that she somehow
had presentiment that was out in the
storm and she kept going to the mouth
of the tunnel every little while, as she
had been doing nearly every night.
When 1 gave up to die I was nearer
home than I thought, and she heard
my call. She got some whisky, and,
making the man hold q torch so that
she could find her way back, she
plowed through all that snow and
storm until she found me, and then by

heard one of them saying that the
bronze ever his aunt gave him was just
for, for eighteen years. Now we think
he looked over the little piece of bronze
beyond that and discovered some
thing else which made him happy.
The grand contagion of self-forget-
tulness which RACES at the Christmas
tide warns all hearts and ightens all
burdens. How long will it last? All,
that is what zoe must decide, and want
to ask all to join me and take this motto
for the New Year: ''Not to be minis
tered unto, but to minister" This will
insure us our Christmas feelings for all
the year round, and sweet peace will
settle down upon us besides. How
about "joy" and happiness you say?
Well, we cannot be sure about them,
but peace is better-best of all, really
quiet, restful happiness, joy under con-
troll, activity without friction-peace

any door which opens upon peace.

cency the numbers of merchants who

Let me mete it out to others that it may
endure. Nothing must be allowed to
stop with us. We must pass it on, for
we ourselves stagnate when our feel
ings and experiences do. Let us not
confound peace and rest with stagna-
ton. They are sweet and beautiful; 1t
is something to be avoided, even if not
foul
An old italian proverb says: "He is
richly endowed who is cheaply divert
ed" If we take a view of American life,
we shall recognize how much need there
is of this rich endowment. People can
not be ''cheaply diverted" The fault
lies largely in our education. We must
learn to divert ourselves more by min
istering unto others. Let us turn more
often and more lovingly to nature. She
is never-failing source of delight and
instruction to those who are able to re-
ceive what she can give. Then let us re-
vive the sweet and real friendships that
used to be in the good old tines when
the world moved slower and the people
had more time. Now the idea of friend
ship is degraded to mean an acquaint-
aace of variously modified degrees. We
all need friends that are true, deep
sources of joy and strength. But these,
too, must come through ministration.
If we would gain the greatest friend
ship we must be the greatest friend.
I cannot turn my thoughts to other
things without taking you with me
where have been since 1 made the re-
solve above. We have read the kind
wishes of many friends for a Happy
New Year, and thoughts grouped
themselves about us which, push them
back as we might, persisted in being
recognized. Yes, sorrowful thoughts I
