Christmas Changes.

The Yule log has given place to the
steam radiator, the furnace register and
the base burning heater, but we who are
warmed by any of these means on Christ
mas eve are quite as likely to enjoy Christ
mas as were our forefathers and foremoth-
ers, who used to celebrate it's festivities
when gathered about the old time fire.
places. There have been changes in heat
ing apparatus, but human nature and
Christmas remain as they were and will
probably so remain after the present ap-
paratus has been displaced by electric heat
ers. We grumbIe about our furnaces, our
radiators and our stoves and will probably
grumble about our electric heaters but in
Yule log times our ancestors were often
roasted on one side and frozen on the other.

Skeleton of Lay Sermon Tor christmas.

FirSt.-YOung women who are thinking
of giving Christmas remembrances to their
pastors should remember that the straight
and narrow path is not an easy road to
travel at all times and therefore stout
walking shoes may be more appropriate
than embroidered slippers.
Second.-Measure the value of the gifts
you receive by the motives of the givers
and not by their intrinsic value. Often
times when the proper standard is used the
humblest gift, costing but few cents, is
found to be of more real worth than the
richest, most expensive present.
Third.-If you have made up your mind
to give So-and-so a Christmas gift just be-
cause you think you are going to receive
one from that quarter, you would better
abandon the idea altogether. Christmas
gifts prompted by anything but desire
to confer real pleasure upon the recipient
had best go ungivcn.
Fourth.-It's a good thing to eat the old
time Christmas dainties at Christmas time
tho rich black plum pudding, the boar's
head and tho juicy baked goose-just the
same as our forbears did. But if you have
indigestion the next morning do not
grumble. Go out into the sunshine and
walk five miles, OF, better yet, hunt up
an ak and log of wood and make the
chips fly for an hour or two. 1t is a law
of nature that whose will not physically
labor shall not overeat with impunity.
Fifth.-It's a good thing to remember
that the recording angel is likely to make
a bigger entry to your credit on his books
because of the gift of a half worn overcoat
to shivering fellow man or dinner to a
half starved and possibly grimy urchin
than because of a costly jewel given to a
favorite of fortune.
Sixth.-Christmas is the day of all the
year on which the unlovely traits of your
character should be smothered, and it
would be great thing for you if you were
to manage in some way this year to get
rid of those traits altogether.

old world Chrlstmas Proverbs.


Every one in America knows the old
world proverb, ga green Christmas
makes fat graveyard, " but few others
of the old world Christmas saws are cur
rent here. Some of these saws are ex-
ceedingly interesting and not less in
structive as showing the changes that
time and location have made in the
proverbs of the country people. Here are
a few:
ga warm Christians, cold Easter. "
ga light Christmas, heavy sheaf."
ga green Christmas, a white Easter. "
elf there is wind on Christmas day,
trees will bear much fruit. "
eff ice will bear a man before Christ
mas, it will not afterward. 5"
1.-THE shepherd would rather see his
wife enter the stable on Christmas day
than to see the sun shine in at the stable
door -
eff the sun chimes through the apple
tree on Christmas day, there will be an
abundant crop the following year.
The meaning of all these is clear
enough, but there is one that is not SO
clear:
"If Christmas finds a bridge. he'll
break it; if he finds none, he'll make
one.

apostolic times, and that copies of it were
taken and are still cxtant That this
statement has no foundation In fact would
appear to be evident from the circumstance
that the old masters, in their representa-
tions of the Saviour, follow no recognized
model and are as various in such portrai-
lures as were their conceptions of what the
real Christ should be.
This diversity must be apparent to all
who have examined such paintings in the
Louvre and other large collections. In
Fra T. Lippi's Madonna and Child, - for
instance, an exquisite creation, the face of
the infant Saviour, though perfect in con-
tour, has look of precocious intelligence
which seems unnatural in one so young.
Carlo Dolce, Murillo and others, though
displaying different types of child life, are
perhaps equally successful in conveying a
nearly satisfying ideal in their representa-
tions of the child Christ They all, how
ever, pay no regard to ethnic considera-
tions in their work, and as a result the
face is Italian, French, Spanish or FIem-
ish, as the case may be, rather than Jew
ish, as it should have been.
In paintings of the man Christ there is
a still greater diversity noticeable. as
would be naturally expected. The face of
Christ in F. R. Francia's painting, 1.-The
Virgin and Two Angels Weeping Over the

vinest conception of it ever traced on can
VAS Though the face is evidently that of
the dead, all the emotions of the soul seem
to be mirrored upon it. In BorgOgnone' S
Christ Bearing the Cross, Correggio' s
'tEcce Homo Guido Renis "Ecce
Homo" all marvellous creations, as well
as in others perhaps equally meritorious,
however different they may pc, they at
least convey an ideal Christ, which does
not shock Christian sensibilities as does

Mess-On Short RatiOns.
My recollections of Christmas expert
ences in the army are mostly connected
with the matter of grub, and I suppose ev-
cry other old soldier, if he is frank enough,
will admit the same thing. AS a rule we
always looked for boxes from home on
Christmas day, and those boxes were toler-
ably certain to have something in them
that made delightful change from the
ordinary rations. When we got those
boxes, we celebrated Christmas. When we
didn't, we didn't celebrate. Christmas
was pretty much the same as any other day
under those circumstances.
The particular Christmas that stands up
above all others in my memory was that of
1862. We had gone into camp after Fred
ericksburg, at a place called White Oak
church, about six miles from Falmouth,
Va, and lay there when Christmas came.
We looked for our boxes, of course, for we
