CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.
Topic for the Week Beginning Dec
27-Conment by Rev. Sill. Doyle.

ToPIc.-O:.c spiritual truth have LEANED
this year.-P>. &. liz.
The Nmcj.eIh Psalm is one Of the
most inttlos,.lg Of the Psalms 1t is SO
because il Is iuC NEST ancient Of all,
o having been N-ltten by Moses 1t is in
teresting also for its SublImc character.
1t deals with the eternity of God and
the mortality Of man i'll this life. 1t
suggests retroSpectlon. 80 teach us to
number our days that we may apply
our hearts to wisdom is its prayer,
based on the fact that human life is
short and uncertain.
The only way to read the future is by
the past. As we stand at the close of
the year and recall its successes and its
failures, if we want to improve upon the
past the best way is TO be guided by what
it teaches us. We should number our
days. We should recall the past, that
we may be wiser III days to come. The
strong points of last years life and char.
acter Will be the strong points of the
coming years life and character. The
weak places viii be weak unless, recog-
nizing them, we apply our hearts to wis
dom and strengthen them.
Experience is the best Of teachers. 1t
is so because it is divine teaching God
is in human events. He controls all
things. He speaks to US through expert
ence, another n&,le for His providences.
Experience Is also demonstration. Dem
onstration is always better than theory.
Theories may be correct; facts must be.
They are the ipdisputable things of life.
No one can successfully dispute them.
That which benefited US last year will
under the same circumstances benefit us
this year. That which hindered US will
hinder us again. That which tempted
US will tempt Us again. That which
overcame us will overcome Us again un-
less we stand more strongly against it.
Let Us recall the past and learn the les
sons which experience teaches us.
What lessons may be learned from
one brief year! Each year is so much
like each other year that the whole
range Of life is contained in one single
year W hat lessons on the attributes Of
God. His goodness, His justice, His mer-
cy, His love. What lessons nffalth and
-
ing character Of God and His dealings
with men. What lessons of warning
warnings against sin, against indifftr-
ence, against neglect, against procr.,s
tination, against worldliness. What les
sons on lite--its hrevity, the certainty Of
its end, the Ae@ ssity of being prepared
for its close at all times. No year but
that teaches important lessons upon
these all important subjects. Let US
number our days. Let US apply our
hearts 10 wisdom.

Can't Go Home For Christmas.

No drearier mortal can be imagined than
tho man who cannot go home from college
for Christmas He hangs around the de-
serted buildings with most forlorn air, or
hovers over his study fire if he has "A study
fire in vain attempt to get warmth. Or
perhaps he takes a different tack and
thinks to find Christmas cheer in "a lark all
by himself. Alas! the spirit of Christmas
Is essentially communistic; to be thorough
ly enjoyed, it must be shared No theater
can appease the loneliness of the solitary
one, and the only solace he finds is in sleep,
where he can forget that he is a man who
cannot go home for Christmas.

from the plane of humanity and from hu-
man sympathies. They prefer to regard
him as only a man, but the very best, the
nobest, the grandest of his race. All
creeds, all schools, all PHILOSOPHERS honor
him to the fullest. Even the Jews, who
are charged with putting him to death
and hating his memory, sincerely respect
him, though they do not allow the super
natural claims made for him. 1t was only
one of their sects, the Pharisees, who clam
ored for his execution. The body of the
chosen people hold themselves guiltless of
his blood. The educated Brahmanists,
Buddhists, Mohammedans, Shintoists,
Parsees, place Jesus in the front rank of
mortals. The savagest iconoclast the rank
est intidel, always speaks of him with adj
miration. OF God there is no end of o. u
ions; of Jesus, morally, humanity, there is
but one.
