true or false, whether its customs are
Pagan or Christian, SO that the season
brings peace on earth and goodwill

lousy blossomed annually on the fifth
of January, yet there are saints as
good as he who walk the earth still,
and flowers and fruit of human kind
ness fairer than any that ever flourish

ships of the old carol-freighted with
love and mercy, SO that all may sing,

Without the door let sorrow lie,

Well bury it in Christmas pie,

REAL LESSONS OF CHRISTMAS.

TOO often in our Christmas relig-
l ious Observances is this thought
almost entirely lost sight of, or not suf-
ficiently emphasized" writes Edward
Box in the December Ladies Home
Journal. ""There can be no love for
God which is unattended with love for
man. The final test of a Christian life
is not the worship of God, but aways
the love of man for man. If the mes
sage of Him whose birth we celebrate
at Christmas teaches us one thing
above all others, it is not that we shall
try to do for Him as person, but that
we shall seek to do for one another.
That is knowing Jesus and clearly
understanding Him. And wherever
this true conception of His life and
teaching is reached, there we find
men and women thrilled with the pas
sion for giving. The little child
wakes on Christmas morning with its
heart full to overflowing with glad
ness, and by every gift in stocking, or
beside cradle or bed, is taught anew
the old, old lesson of love. Hus band
and wife, brother and sister, lover and
sweetheart, friend and friend, as they
receive their gifts are reminded once
more that love is not dream, but
reality-and a reality which grows more
vital, more precious and more endur-
ing with the years. The sick, in chair
or in bed, as they open their Christmas
packages are almost reconciled to
loneliness and pain. The friendless,
the poor, the outcast, the waits on the
streets; those who have sinned and
seem shut out from God and from man,
all begin to feel strange thrills of hope
and renewed aspirations as they are
taken up and embodied in the richness
and fulness of the Divine love as it
comes to them through human love or
attention on Christmas Day. That is
knowing Christmas in its highest and
noblest sense; in its truest conception;
knowing it in that spirit from which
we derive the surest happiness"

SEASONABLE PROVERBS.

Here are a few seasOnable proverbs
interesting perhaps to those who con-
Germ themselves about the weather:
If a Christmas ice hangs on the will
low, clover may be cut at Easter.
December changeable and mild, the
whole winter will remain a child.
The month that comes in good will
go out bad.
January warm, the Lord have mercy.
If it SHOWS on Chistmas, we expect
a good hop crop next year.
The first three days of January rule
the coming months.
The II days commencing Dec. 25
and ending Jan. 5, are said to be the
keys to the weather of the year.
If the sun shines through the apple
tree on Christmas day, there will be
an abundant crop the following year.
The Germans say, THE shepherd
would rather see his wife enter the
stable on Christmas day than the sun
The enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 188?-1899, 1898-12-21

CHRISTMAS has a two-fold interest,
material and a spiritual. Some love it
because it comes but once a year, and
when it comes it brings good cheer;
others, because it is pre-eminently the
season of universal reconciliation, of
peace on earth and goodwill towards
men."
