The REVIVAL MEETINGS

The revival services conducted by
Evangelist Cell at the Central Union
church continue to attract good audi
ences. Rev. Cell breaches a practical
religion. He teaches a REDEMPTION on
earth as well as a redemption In the
skies. He seems as anxious to save
the lives of men and women from the
miseries of earth as he is to save their
souls from the agonies of perdition.

A Christmas Legend.

Ever since that first Christmas eve
the cock has crowed all night long on
the anniversary to keep away evil spir-
its; for the cock is a holy bird and a
knowing one. There is a pleasant tale Of
him and Saint Stephen, the first martyr.
" hose day is December 20, close by his
dear Lords.
Saint Stephen was King Herod's stew
ard. it seems, who served him IN the
kitchen and at table. One night "a he
was bringing in the boar's head for his
masters dinner he saw the St. shining
over Bethlehem. Immediately he set
down the huge platter and exclaimed:

that you would desert my service for

Nay" answered Stephen. Il lack nei-

THAT is as true quoth HerOd, smit-
ing the table with his fist, ''as that this

How Christmas is
Spent in Many Countriec.

Down in Australia. where Christmas
customs of older peoples are chung to te-
naci0uSly, they have only visions of fall
ing snow and frozen skating ponds. Their
Christmas cards are covered with draw
ings of the kangaroo and embellished
with representations of the wonderful
blossoms of the hills and ferns of the
valleys. One December, not many years
ago, they were building 4 new railroad
through the heights of the Blue noun
tains, where occasionally a Tittle snow
collects In the creyices of the rocks. An
enterprising Sydney jeweler paid the
foreman of a construction train TO collect
half a truckful of this snow and deliver
as much of it to him as he could. On
Christmas day in the jewelers. window
was a huge SNOWFALL, resting on a deep
iron tray, and when the news spread
about the city traffic was blocked for
several hours until the novel sight had
melted. Men who had not seen snow for
forty years. when they emigrated from
the odd country hobbled out among
the crowds. and people swarmed and
struggled to get a glimpse of what they
looked on as Il sort of eighth wonder of
the world.
Nowhere do people stick closer to the
old Christmas traditions than in Germa-
ny. where the humblest peasant will beg
gar himself for months to give a little
Christmas tree treat. or ''Tannenbaum,
to his babies. There is pathetic story
and true one illustrative of this senti-
ment among the German people. In the
dreary winter campaign soon after the
outbreak of the Franco Prussian war a
great part of Prince Frederck's army
corps was cut off for days from its COM
missariat. Christmas day came with
thousands of men cold and hungry. but
the old home traditions were not forgot
ten. The soldiers gathered together
slaves of wood. pointed the tops of
them, and sticking them in the snow
hung Jumps of black bread from
them. Then they joined round these pitt
full little Christmas trees and sang songs
of the fatherland till daybreak.
Foreigners in Egypt used the plain
branches in lieu of Christmas trees, thus
unccnsciously going back to the very
birth Of the idea, for it was the habit OF
the ancient Egyptians in hanging pres
ents from the frondS Of the palm at Ger

The Outsider at ChristmaC.

| have long held that we ought to be
bigger hearted at Christmas than we
are, and that our homes should he more
elastic then, writes Mrs Margaret f.
Sangster, in Good housekeeping. Or.
If not our homes, our holiday planning
should be large enough to send win
some cheer to homes not of plenty or
want. but homes that are wistfully
aware of absent loved ones. and while
we are about it we should have an eye
to the people who are practically home
less; derelicts stranded in hotels; bache-
Tors with no domestic ties; saleSwomen
far from their own folk: clerks whom
business forhids the luxury of a home
visit for a single day. and all sorts of
people who are poor in friendship. though
they may have real estate and money
in bank. Why not conquer the instinc-
tive suspicion or aversion which is altent
in most of us where the stranger is con.
cerned? Why not signaliZe Christmas
by some bit of thoughtful unselfishness?
Among the chief outsiders at Christ
mas are wage-earning young people, who
live i'll boarding houses and cannot spare
time or money to &C home. If you and
know such girls or such men, by a little
cOntrivance we may easily invite them TO
one meal or to one merry-making in our
great dav. A little individual preparation
for their pleasure, q gift, however mex
pensiye, that may mean something be-
cause designed especially for them, win
not be bestowed in vain
