Psalm SINGING.
Associate Reformed Presbyterian.

About the weakest and most radical article

Quarles of Washington and Lee University,
who is we'll known 10 our people In Virginia.
Here are few choice extracts
IF the Palms are good, WHY are not the
inspired Gospels. and Acts, and Epistles, and
Revelation equally good Q"
"ls lteral version any more inspired than
q liberal version ?"
The fatal fallacy Is the ignoring OF Christ
The Psalmody OF the Psalm-singers is Judaic,
mont Christian. The name Of jesus, In which
we are taught all worship should be, is not
found In their literal versions. 1t is Old
Testament worship, such as Jew may rem.
der, such as the Jews do offer. Strange in
deed that those who love and trust Jesus
should refuse to utler his name In their
songs. and should condemn those OF us who
do. The use Of their non-Christian verses Is
questionable"
The name OF God is not in the book of
Esther. Is God not In It? The Docter has
been lecturing this summer on the Evidences
OF Christianity. He ought to stop lecturiDg
for while and spend some time In beholding
Christ In the Psalms. 1t would doubtless be
revelation TO him.

in their behalf. Their hero lies in the

Christmas.

By beautiful road our Christmas comes,
A road full twelve months long,
And every mile is as warm as smile,
And every hour is song.
Flower and flake and cloud and sun,
And the winds that riot and sigh,
Have their work to do ere the dreams come true
And Christmas glows in the sky.
The holly and cedar and mistletOe,
They thrilled, when the nights were chill,
For the maiden's glance and the madcap dance,
And the lovers foot on the sill.
For the Christmas mirth the brave pine grew,
Serene and straight and tall,
The deep woods knew in their dusk and dew.
When the dearest of days would fall.
To the beautiful home our Christmas comes,
The home that is safe and sweet
With its door ajar for the beam of the Star,
Ard its corner for loves retreat.
There the mark on the wall for the golden head
Is higher bit, for lo
Between Christmas coming and Christmas sped
There's time for the BARN to grow.
Our Christmas comes with a royal grace,
(FOrget the ancient grudgeD
Tis the open hand that must bless the land,
(Uplift the toiling drudge!)
And who that has gifts shall hold them back,
And who that has cheer shall wait,
When there's joy in the sky, and the ill things fly
And the Christ-Chld knocks at the gate?
IT'S beautiful time when Christmas comes
All up the street and down,
For hearts alight make faces bright
When Christmas comes to town.
NeghbOr and friend in gladneSs meet
And all are neighbOrs dear,
When the Christmas peace bids evil cease
In the hOliest day of the year.
The fair white fields in silence lie,
Invisible angels go
| Over the floor that Sparkles hOar
| With the glitter of frost and snow.
And they scatter the infinite balm of heaven
Wherever on earth they stay,
And heavens own store of bliss they pour
On the earth each Christmas Day.
IT'S beautiful task our Christmas brings
| For old and young to share,
| With jingle of bells, and silvery swells
| OF music in the air.
To make the sad world merry awhile,
And to frighten sin away,
| And to bless us all, whatever befall,
Is the task of Christmas Day.

A Christmas Fable.

A number of years ago, that day of
all Days, Christmas, had completed
the journey of all the weekdays and
had returned to begin anew another
week by falling on Sunday. That was
of course little inconvenient for the
Older Folks who could not agree
whether to Celebrate it on Saturday,
Sunday or Monday. Not so the Young
People though who contrived to differ
entiate Opinion so far as to get some
people to devote separately each one
of the days mentioned, to Festivities,
thus giving them three whole days of
Merriment instead of one.
Now it so happened that the First
Methodist Church of the little town of
R in balmy Southern State de-
cided to Decorate their Christmas tree
and have an accompanying social sup
per on Monday the last one of the
three Festival days. Everything with
one Exception took place just as the
good people had Calculated upon. The
Exception was little miscarriage of
their ministerial Shepherds forecast
of reaping dainty basket of delicacies
for his loving little Better Half, who
was so ill she could not attend the
Social. In this wise the FiascO dis.
played itself.

His Inner Man.

Dick Kent, attorney-at-law, bachelor
and society nan-of-war, sat smoking
cheroot in an easy chair in his we'll
furnished apartments. The cigar was
good Indian one with magical
Oriental flavor, and as he smoked, its
subtle suggestion of mingled memory,
moonlight and dew, and the feathery
plumage of its winged smoke, gradual
ly,g got the upper hand of his train of
thought so that before he knew it his
mind was galloping down the path Of
least resistance and his iron mood was
gone.
His den was hung with many tro-
phies, the gifts of travelling friends
who loved him and sincerely regretted
the pressure of duty which prevented
him from seeking and finding his ideal
environment-the land where the sun
sets over the roseate Engarean Hills,
or the place where 1t dips, dripping
with glory from the foam of the Indian
Ocean.
Kent denied that he was man of
sentiment, denied it persistently with
every stroke of his vigorous pen, with
every line of his up-to-date figure, with
every act of his we'll regulated and de-
finite existence; denied it and yet pro-
claimed it in each. It was the white
lie of conscious self-deception, but
since one good lie deserves another, he
hung a little sign over the door which
opened toward the outer world.
This second lie was brief, but per
emptory. 1t read, "No Woman Enters
Here" Such sign over such a door
simply points to the fact that woman
has entered and closed the door behinG
her forever. The woman in this cast
had never seen the inside of Kent'
bachelor apartments, but an ey'
anointed would have detected in then
the mysterious charm of her presence
the photograph on the mantel shown,
laughing girl With enormous sleeves
the row of mounted blue prints tie,
together with blue satin ribbons wer
all of her; so, too, was the water-colo
sketch of beautiful head crowne'
with iuxuriant chestnut hair, and tn
porcelain miniature with its ivor
frame of Chinese carving.
On the table, there was slipper case
too precious for Dicks unholy slippers
because she had made it and en-
broidered it with forget-me-nots.
!, The rose-leaf cushions on the couc
were inexpressibly dear to Kent, bt
cause she had sent them to him; but
had other and greater treasures.
The cigar had gone out. He thre'
it away, unlocked drawer in his des
!. and drew out package of old an
faded letters. Then, as he read then
9 a dream figure arose from the mists {
! memory and smiled upon him. All tt
Q Joy and sunshine of his existence Ia
in that single vision of girls swe'
face, crowned with the silvery halo I
