far better for many families if their
conditions were not so easy and their
family life richer; if the toiIing man
in the office took more time to ov-
press his affection, to contribute his
strength, to share his intellectual
life, to enrich the breakfast and the
dinner table and the evening with
his large observation of life and

rience which most men of affairs DOS.
sess. If family life is to be put on
the highest possible basis, there must
be the giving Of self. The lover who
lavishes on the woman he loves pres
ents of great material value dcgrades
her if he does not share with her also
the highest and best of his own life,
And no matter what he gives her, if
he withholds this, he leaves her un-
satisfied. If she is in any sense
worthy, and were compelled to
choose, she would take the richer life
and the poorer conditions rather
than the richer conditions and the
poorer life.
The tragedy lies in the substitution
in family life of the material for
spiritual things, and for that ex-
change many men are unconsciou5ly
responsible. They are SO eager to
furnish comfort that they forget to
give life; they are so willing to sur
render their strength and their time
for those they love that they forget
to share themselves.-New York Out

All They Could Afford.

Rev. D. J. Sanders, the negro pres
ident of Biddle University of Char
lotte, this State, related the follow
ing incident to some members of the
Presbyterian General Assembly at a
recent meeting. The story is report
ed by the New York Times:
Negroes are great lovers of pomp
and ceremony, of titles and decora-
tions, and the members of a large but
ignorant negro congregation in
North Carolina conceived the notion
that it would add very much to their
influence as a church if their pastor
could append the initials D. D. to his
name.
Gone of the brethren learned that
a certain institution in the North
would confer such a degree for a
price. He wrote, and got a letter
from this institution, stating that
fifty dollars would secure the desired
honor.
Meantime the members of the
congregation went to work to raise
this fifty dollars, but their utmost
efforts failed to secure more than
twenty-five dollars.
"The committeeman put their
heads together, and it was finally de-
cided to send the money, with this
message, to the Northern institu-
ton:
"Please send our pastor one d.
as we are not able to pay for the
other at this time.'"

Another Cannon Story.

"Uncle Joe" Cannon was the guest
a few evenings since of the Potters'
Association at a local banquet, where
he was belabored by many inquiries
about his Speakership campaign,
which moved him to a story.
"WhiIe Payne, Littlefeld, and DaI-
zell we're laundering around for
votes" said he, Il just went up to
Chicago and did nothing. One day
a Chicago scribe came to interview
me.
"'Young man. [ said, this is for

and peanuts. Eph carried me on his
broad back a part of the way, and at

THE HOME CIRCLE
The Seven Ages of Man.

All the worlds a stage
And all the men and women merely
players;
They have their exits and their en-
frances.
And II man in his time plays many
parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first
the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse $
arms;
Then the whining ~schoolboy with his
satchel
And shining morning face, creeping
like a snail
Unwillingly to school; and then the
Signing like furnace, with a woeful
ballad
Made to his mistress eyebrow; then
a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded
like a pard,
Jealous in honor, sudden and quick
in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the lannon's mouth; and
then the Justice,
In fair, round belly with good capon
lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal
cut,
Full of wise saws and modern in
stances
And so he plays his part; the sixth
age shifts
Into the lean and slippered panta-
loon,
With spectacIes on nose and pouch
on side,
His youthful hose, we'll saved, a
world too wide
For his shrunk shank, and his big,
manly voice
Turning again toward childish treble,
pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last
scene of all.
That ends this strange, eventful his
tory,
Is second chiIdishness and mere OBJ
livion-
Sans teeth. sans eyes, sans taste, sans
everything.

It." Act II, Scene Z.

The Saviour's Birth.

and there shall come forth a rod
out of the stem of Jesse and a
Branch shall grow out of his roots:
And the spirit of the Lord shall
rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom
and understanding, the spirit of

knowledge and fear of the Lord;
And shall make him of quick un-
Outstanding in the fear of the Lord:
and he shall not Judge after the sight
of his eyes. neither reprove after the
hearing of his ears:
But with Righteousness shall he
judge the poor, and reprove with
equity for the meek of the earth:
and he shall smite the earth with the
rod of his mouth, and with the breath
of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
And righteousness shall be the CIR

A Mans Best Gift to His Family.

The country is full of men who are
overworking, not because they care
for money, but because they want to
command the most comfortable con-
ditions for their families; who, if
they were told that they we're short
ening their lives ten years, would not
hesitate to go on, accepting the sac
rifce as part of their duty, and an
opportunity to be welcomed rather
than avoided. Those who know
American men we'll know that there
is a deep vein of idealism in the
great majority of them in their at
titude towards their families. It is
here that they spend themselves Law
ishly; it is here that many give their
lives without hesitation.
But the American father and hus-
band does not always give wisely. It
is a great deal to make the most com,
Portable conditions for women and
children, but that is, after all, only
furnishing the foundation upon
which the life of the home rests: all
that is finest, most influential and
spiritual in it is not to be found in
its material circumstances. The life
of the home lies in the elements of
vitality, a~ffectional, spiritual, intel
lectual, which are contributed by
every member of the family; and the
best that parent or child can give is
always spiritual. In giving his means
a man often gives himself, because
he spends himself in order to acquire

Keeping Christmas.

It is a good thing to observe
Christmas day. The mere marking
of times and seasons when men agree
to stop work and make merry togeth-
er is a wise and wholesome custom.
It helps one to feel the supremacy Of
the common life over the individual
life. It reminds a man to set his own
little watch, now and then, by the
great clock of humanity.
But there is a better thing than the
observance of Christmas day, and
that is, keeping Christmas.
Are you willing to forget what you
have done for other people and to
remember what other people have
done for you; to ignore what the
world owes you and to think what
you owe the world; to put your rights
in the background and your duties
in the middle distance and your
chances to do a little more than your
duty in the foreground; to see that
your fellow men are just as real as
you are, and try to look behind their
faces to their hearts, hungry for joy;
to own that probably the only good
reason for your existence is not what
you are going to get out of life, but
what you are going to give to life;
to close your book of complaints
against the management of the uni
verse and look around you for a place
where you can SOW a few seeds of
happiness-are you willing to do
these things even for a day?
Then you can keep Christmas.
Are you willing to stoop down and
consider the needs and the desires
of little children; to remember the
weakness and loneliness of people
who are growing old; to stop asking
how much your friends love you and
ask yourself whether you love them
enough; to bear in mind the things
that other people have to bear On
their hearts; to try to understand
what those who live in the same house
with you really want, without wait
ing for them to tell you; to trim
your lamp so that it will give more
light and less smoke, and to carry it
in front so that your shadow will fall
behind you; to make a grave for your
ugly thoughts and a garden for your
kindly feelings, with the gate open
are you willing to do these things
even for a day?
Then you can keep Christmas.
Are you willing to believe that
love is the strongest thing in the
world,-stronger than hate, stronger
than evil, stronger than death,-and
that the blessed life which began in
Bethlehem nineteen hundred years
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1902-12-23

ago is the image and brightness Of
the Eternal Love?
Then you can keep Christmas.
And if YOU keep it for a day, why
not always? But you can keep
it alone.-Dr. Henry van Dyke, in
the Youths Companion.

TALKED TO TEACHERS
SUPERINTENDENT ATKINSON ON
CHARACTER BUILDING
Lengthy Address At Normal School By
the Head of the Department-The
Duty of the Teacher.

Superintendent of Education Alatau
T. Atkinson addressed a weekly meet
ing of teachers at the Normal School,
to some length yesterday afternoon.
The lecture was entitled Character
Building" and was broad in it's scope.
After reviewing briefly the addresses
made to the same audience by Cover
nor Dole and DR.. Rodgers, secretary of
the educational board, Mr.. Atkinson
went directly to his subject touching
on the vital issue of making the first
impressions upon the plastic nature of
the material under the teachers hands,
the right Impressions.
Character development" said the
speaker, should be evolved from all
the tasks set to the children and it's
essence penetrate every act of teacher
and scholar. The mental and physical
| training of pupils made fitting compan-
ions for the building up of character.
THE power of expressing and ac-
curing thought was an essential not
always given the right significance.
For example reading rather than
| speaking was too often taught in
schools. Language is the platform of
education.
Life should be impaired to the sub
| ject matters in hand. A teacher can
not be too broad mentally. After
| touching on the Importance of physical
! health in conjunction with mental ac-
| tivity, the speaker closed with an earn
est eXhortation to the younger teach
ers to be, whose failure or success in
their duty would influence hundreds in
| similar directions. The meeting clos
