There was time lin the wide re-
volving shades of centuries past when
our globe was wholly in the possession
of walking. swimming and flying rep
tiles. Being the dominant type, they
divided naturally into three great
classes. In the oceans they became 81
gantic padding enaliosaurians; on dry
land. or, rather, wet land, for the whole
face of the globe was doubtless n
quagmire at that time they became
monstrous, erect dinosaurians, some of
which had legs fifteen feet or more in
length; those which inhabited the re-
gions of the air were the terrible flying
pterodactyls.
For a vast but unknown length of
time these awful creatures literally
ruled the earth. Finally after they had
"seen their day" they began to grow
less and less. One by one they died
out in the face of the younger and more
vigorous fauna until at the present
time only few miniature alligators
and crocodiles and a few toy snakes
remain as reminders of skulking liz
ards and geckos and of the enormous
reptilian types that once crowded land

In the morning the little ones came
whispering, begging US to go upstairs,
but we dared not, fearful to let them
see more. Yet nothing we did would
quiet them, and we were afraid of an
outburst of tears. Mother looked at us
with suspicion, not knowing why we
whispered, and we did not dare to keep

done. So we told them Santa Claus
had taken the toys away, and if we
were very, very good and never spoke
of them again he would bring them
back on Christmas eve. Satisfied, they
began to play III the usual way. We
played, too, hoping to forget. but could
not. When the little ones took their aft

to take one peep, but were hidden to
stay downstairs. We longed for sight
of our treasures. One glimpse would
make us happy, we felt sure. but we
could not get 1t and hung about, uneasy

toys would be our own, but we were

until Christmas. When night came,

from our action we were sick. We tried
to sleep. but could not, thoughts of the
treasures over our heads keeping us
awake. We got together and whis.

toys, and, knowing that all were safely
asleep, quietly took the night candle
and crawled up the garnet stairs to the
cupboard Again the sight filled us
, with longing. Again the daring pirate,
aloft in his chair ship, took down one
after the other, and in the delight Of
their possession we lost ourselves and
played and played until the Growing
of the cock warned us to our beds.
Next morning we slept long, and
mother again feared some sickness.
We could not eat breakfast; we were
feverish and excited. We jumped at

Real joy is us sacred and divine
thing as there is. You know that it is
true that we may if we choose begin
to enter upon our Inheritance Of eternal
things now, here, in this life, Especial
ly is this the case with this divine gift
of SiadnesS of the soul. Do not rest
content with any more small, finite,
temporary thing and call that joy; it is
some mere passing earthly elevation of
spirits. That is merely selfish i'm
preston. That is not connected With
any feeling of regret for our Imperfect
ton, as true joy must ever be- In true
JOY there can be no selfshness. 1t is
the delight that comes from conscious
ness Of the nearness of God, conscious
ness of love to Him, consciousness of
sin forgiven, consciousness of living
for the good Of our brothers and siSters
of the human family.-Sinclair.

"That whatsoever beheveth may in
Him have eternal life"
From Anglo-Saxoh customs and an
cicnt times comes much of the practice
of the great festival Of the winter
| solstice. The sun has reached his
| farthest southern limit and wheeled on
his return to the northlands From
ages beyond record our ancestors kept
| this time as a season of festivity and
feasting Great logs for the hearth
| fire, wild beasts for food, evergreens
for decorating home and Gods house,
greetings and good cheer marked the
occasion as the grandest of all festi-
vals
| 1t was wise in the early Christian
missionaries to recognize the worth
and deep significance of this annual
Yuletide observance and give to the
Anglo-Saxon heather practices new
and better meanings. Under their
| teaching it became the festival of
Christ's birth and the most joyous of
all Christian holy days. Better than
the sun returning to the frostbound
land was the fact of the coming of the
| God Man to earth with heavenly saliva
! ton for all men.
| Our custom of making gifts and all
the other observances which have
grown up and around Christmas and
to which the hearts of the young cling
so fondly have much to commend them
beside the momentary qualification of
kindly impulses. Beyond all the bene-
| fit which the business of making and
trading ge&p GEosn this season we prize
the rehearsing Of the Christ story. The
wonderment grows greater as the
years pass. Childhood takes the pre-
cious narrative so eagerly and reals
tically! Why should not angels come
from heaven and sing to listening shep-
| herds? Have not angels always been
near and dear TO the heart of child
hood, which has no difficulty in be
| lieving in them and can almost see and
hear them at all times.
To the young people Christmas means
somewhat more than 1t used to mean.
| 1t holds vaster TRUTH deeper purity
and reaches of love unfathomed, per-
haps unfathomable. 1t is promise of
| unutterable riches and revelation I'M
ceasing. 1t beckons into years yet to
come with marvellous possibilities Of
achievement and enjoyment. 1t means
the limirless unfolding of the Christ
| life In self and in society-all possibili-
| ty of all good.
To the middle aged it speaks no less
decisively, even if more soberly. The
virgin birth and angel song may be
| held less clearly than once, but the
eternal life in prospect comes nearer,
and the hopelessness of the struggle Of
earth without the Christ help presses
more deeply home to the soul.
To the aged ones the Christmas time
brings a mellowing influence to the
spirit, mystical touch to the faith al
most childlike in It's simplicity. Angel
songs and mother sweetness mean
more than in all the bygone years.
Heaven lies not far away.
To all the Christmas message is eter-
nal life for you if you believe and love
| Him who is life eternal.
