The Christmas chimes are pealing,
softly pealng; the joyous sounds are
ringing, ever louder and clearer, ever
nearer and nearer, like a sweet-toned
benedictiOn falling on the ear. Glad
ringers are pulling the ropes, and in
one grand swell of melody Christmas,
with its old yet ever new and marvel
Gus mysteries. bursts triumphantly
upon the world once more.
The cattle have turned their heads
to the east and knelt down to worship
the king Graded in the manger; the
houses are decked with holly; The
gray shadows sweep away; the sun is
up and the bright-eyed children, who
have laid awake all night listening for
the uatter of old Saint Nick's tiny
steeds on the roof, only to fall asleep
at tile eventtul moment, wake hurried
ly to find the stockings running over
with toys and sweetmeats. - -.

Christmas All the Year.

1t is Jesus Christ that makes Christ
mas the>most joyous day in the calen-
,tar. Without him there would be 10
Christmas carol, and no Christmas
gifts. But why limit to one day what
ought 10 he our experience on every
day of the three hundred and sixty
five? Some Christians are happy only
on special occasions when the sun
shines or their "ship comes in" The
rest of the time they sulk, or groan, or
grumble. Sunny-souled old Paul,
even when he was chained in Ner"s
guardhouse, rings out the jubilant
words, "Rejoice in the Lord alway ;
and again + say, Rejoice ~ Ought
every Christian to be happy? Yes /;
and every one of US may be happy all
the time If we only look in the. right
quarter for our joys. Paul was too wise to
bid US rejoice in money, for hard times
have run some purses pretty low this
year or to rejoice in health, for some
of Christ's children will probably read
this articlein a sick room a; or to re-
joice only in the hours of worldly sue
cess. Our joy, to be solid must rest OIL
something immovable, and not on q
shifting sand-bank. There is one,
and only one, solid permanent possess
ion and that is the loving Christmas
Christ, dwelling all the while in our
hearts, Saviour faithfully served
every day in the year.-Theodore L.

(St, Louis Advooate.)

Preaching is different from all other
kinds of public speaking, and some
thing more than mere oratory or rhet-
oric is needed to make it effective. A
preacher who sacrifices strength to
rhetoric and force to elocution, Is max
ing q. radical mistake. When a man
reais and essay or attempts to declaim
from the pulpit, he is perpetraIing a
travesty on his sacred calling and is
degrading the office and work Of the
ministry. Two of the indispensable
requisites to pulpits power, are earnes'-
ness and sincerity.
Let either of these be lacking :and
the preacher is Samson shorn of his
locks, and has wholly misinterpreted
the message he hal to deliver. We
confess to q feeling of mingled mortifi-
cation and indignation when we listen
to preacher who is evidently declaim-
ing for effect and whose self-conscious-
ness is apparent throughout his entire
serman. Such q man is unworthy to
occupy a pulpit and has not learned
the first principles of his high calling.
Though he may have genius, learning
and eloquence, his preachi ,g is but las
sounding brass or a tinkling cymhal."

1t is an old and trite saying: "HoW

times as relentless. unsparing de-
stroyer, but oftener as swift-winged
and beautiful angel changing, yetnot
taking away this worlds blessings /;
making our past SORROWS l.'nk dim in

benediction Of time. Dickens has said !:
"Father Time is not always hard
parent, and, though he tarriesfOr none
OF his children, often 'lays his hand
lightly upon those who have used him
well, making them old men and women
inexorably enough, but leaving their
hearts and spirits young and in full
vigor. With such people the gray
head is but the impression of the old
fellows hand in giving them his bless
ing, and every wrinkle but a notch in

Old "Santa Claus'' is quite an OBJ.

glad the hearts of many poor and
needy children, if spent for fooL and
raiment. ThoughtIess mortals, we
are. Instead of.spending our money
for the trifies of life, we should see to
1t that the suffering hosts around US
are made happy on this memorable
day. Shoes for little chapped feet
warm clothes for little shivering bod
dies, wholesome food for the poverty.
