TOPIC Christmas service. What can We
give to Christi Math. ii, II: Ps- Il, 6s
Another year has almost passed away,
and the Christmas season is upon us,
suggesting the ever important question,
What can we give to Christ? 1t is
practically the same question every
year, and yet it neither grows old, nor
is it out Of place. Since Christ gave
heaven for rs. when He was born into
this world, it is very fitting and appro-
pirate that We ask ourselves each recur-
ring Christmas seas n, What can we
give to Him?
/. We can give our wills to Christ
(Ps. Il, 6S). In these verses the psalm
ist declares that by affiiction God has
taught him that il is not mere outward
sacrifice and Offering that He wants,
but the conservation of the heart and
will to Him, and He dedicates Himself
10 the Lord. The Lord wants our hearts
above all things. The intention is of
more Importance than the deed. In the
case of Abraham, God accepted the
will for the deed when lie called upon
him to sacrifice Isaac, but He will not
accept the deed for the will. as can be
seen in the case OF Cam. Cain per
formed the deed. but his heart was not
tight, and 1t was not accepted. Abra-
hams heart was right. and God accept
ed his sacrifice without the deed Let

The Most Popular Novel.

What is the most popular novel among
American Teadersr A poll of all the prin-
cipal libraries in the United States, which
appears In the December Forum, shows
that David Copperfeld" leads in popu-
larity every work Of fiction. The nine
most popular novels in the order of their
popularity, are as follows :-"David Cop
perdeld," "Ivanhoe," 1.-The Scarlet Let
ter" "Uncle Toms Cabin" Ben HUI" I"
adam Bede," s.vanity Fair" "Jane
Eyre" "The Last Days of Pompeii."
This is complete refutation of the no
tion sometimes expressed, that Dickens,
and Scott, and Thackeray have lost their
hold. Our own greatest novelist, Ma
thaniel Hawthorne, comes high up in the
list, and "Uncle Toms Cabin" appears
likely to hold its own for all time.
