Now if we divest Jesus of the COM
pick theories of warning commentators,
strip him of bewildering creeds, which
in any event never came into existence
until hundreds Of years after his death
we find his message to the world one of
intense simplicity. Drawing in our
minds from the cares of the conflict of
life for few moments, possibly we
may find inspiration to effort by look
ing back at this man who led the world
out into broad truth; whose simple
character is after ages of thought fore
ing itself to the front just because it is
so simple.

Onward from the narrow thought of
the Jews who selfishly regarded the
God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as
their own peculiar possession and
whose character was often outlined as
little more than that of blood-thirsty
leader of a fighting nation-onward
from the myriad deities of reverential
Asiatic and European minds who
sought by the very multitude of Gods
to include all truth-onward with
greater clearness than all seekers who
had preceded him, he led the worlds
thought to assert the existence of one
God of one universe. He did not argue
Him to exist; he assumed Him as the
simplest explanation of the powers,
visible and invisible, of mighty crea'
ton.

Furthermore, as omniscience, omnip-
otence, omnipresence are beyond the
powers of our finite minds to grasp,
Jesus makes God greater than the Wild
est theories of eager souls, and yet sim
pier than the simplest Interpretation of
Him, by announcing Him as "Father"
and as "Love." The troubled soul can
understand that, and rest. The "Fath-
err" chastens His little ones that they
may develop. He breaks down His
truths into small fragments to suit
their growing powers. He interprets
thorny ways into upward paths. His
love makes all things work together
for good to those who love Him. Every
woman heart can understand Him as
"Love," for in her has been the ascent
OF man" and in His love has been the
ascent of the soul.

Seasons revolve and we once more
greet the festival of "The Child" Who
can exaggerate its hold upon the hearts
of those who celebrate it? There is not

the contented mother into the holiness
and possibilities of all children.

Over all virtues let us set simplicity.
Great messages, great truths, great
happenings are ever simple in their
elements. Simplicity is the grandeur
of the great and the greatness of the
obscure. 1t is the charm of prattling
childhood; it is the diadem of the
learned.

A LAYMAN's CHRISTMAS.
BY "NEMo."

JON again Jne anger cnOruS;
Tell of Gods great gift to men;
For the time is now before us,
When the Christ child comes again
Ever bringing to the nations
Thoughts of sweet simplicity,
AS they pour their glad oblations,
At the shrine of infancy.
Sing the joyous Christmas carol,
How the Great One came to earth,
Not in glorious apparel
But by lowly human birth;
Unto all men manifesting,
That Gods greatest gift is still
Nothing but spirit resting,
Child-like, on Partners will.
So we vain and hayward mortals,
In earth's wilderness beguiled,
Safe may reach the golden portals,
Helped and guided by child.

The Philomathean Literary Society OF
the University of Washington, which has
not held meetings for over a year, was
recently reorganized and last Friday
evening gave its opening programme. The
chief feature of this programme was a
talk by DR.. Smith. which was his first
appearance before the students.
AS President c. III. Steffen stepped for
ward to call the meeting 10 order, score
Of young men arose and gave the college
yell, with usual vigor. Mr.. Steffen stated
the reasons why the society had rested
for a year, and then announced the IN
tention Of its promoters TO run the soci-
ETY. on the most approved plan, and TO
make II a credit TO its members and the
university, and a great help in training
us all for the practical affairs of life.''
The following programme was given:

DR.. Smith expressed regret that he him
self had not given more attention to liter
airy societies when I'm college, and warm
~ recommended such work as of greater
value 10 the student, perhaps, than some
OF the regular studies. He dwelt upon
the responsibility Of individuals 10 soci-
eASy anu asserted lfldt Special sciences ana
arts had been developed 10 an abnormal
degree at the expense of political and So
cial studies. He called attention to the
fact that Adam Smith, in his economic
writings, did not recognize monopolies
which play so important part IN the
social system Of today, and which have
been brought about by the special devel-
opment of certain sciences and their prac-
teal application. What society needs he
said, Is young men and women with
clear understanding OF the problems OF
the day and a desire TO do what is right
in correcting the evils As illustrations
Of the way in which Americans neglect
their duties as citizens and members or

American Commonwealth opened the

man was the first to make a scientific
study Of American monopolies and pub
lish the results OF his Investigations.

The success OF a man In crossing the
English channel, leaving the coast a.
Eastbourne and landing In France, will
serve to stimulate aeronauric expert

upon which 70 base hopes OF scientific
advancement Journeys OF equal dis
lance have been safely undertaken on
several occasions, and even with the
very primitive gas balloon there is no
danger provided the wind be only mod
crate enough TO drift 1t and to descend

Of practical devices for affording pro-

advance can be made.
The discovery of the light metal
aluminium, the mastery OF electrical
storage. and better knowledge Of the
production OF safe and equable gases
have held out promises which SO far
seem unlikely TO be fulfilled. The bird
has successfully defied the efforts of

Attorney General Winston has been
obliged 70 make public the fact that he is

Winston is of the opinion that the state.

a purse as travelling expenses for him TO
go on TO Washington and confer upon the
supreme court the high privilege of max
ing him a member OF the bar. It was
really an oversight that the late legisla-
ture did not take steps in this matter. The
