Our Chrid.mas rejoicing is deepest
when we can know that Christ IL
its source, and that without him we
could not have h.d it.
All other joys that Christ brought
only follow in the train of the great
blessedness that comes from for
given sin. Peace and pleasure In
life there could not be without the
blessedness flowing from the blottlng
out of sin.
The spirit of Christmas is the
spirit OF giving. God gave us the
greatest possible gift of his only
begotten Son; the very least we
can properly give to him is our undi
vided love and conservation.
We think what JOY it would have Lecn
to share
In their high privilege who came to
bear
Sweet spice and cosby gem.
To Christ in Bethlehem.
And in that thought we half forget
that He
Is wheresoe'er we seek him earnestly;
Still filling every place.
With sweot aboundng grace.

most expressive words are utterly
inadequate when one would describe
to another his own personal vision
oil the Christ.
We may present to God our time
and he can make good use of that
for he is omnipotent. We may give
to him or strength, and that is not
Insignificant in his sight for he can
multiply it. We MAJ present to
him our money, and that is useful,
for he can send it on errands OF
mercy the wide world around but
the best Of all things is to present
ourselves. Here. Lord, | giv'a my
self to thee"
No gift, without love- truly leaves
the hands of the giver. Love is The

Never shone a light so fair.
All hail the power Of Jesus name.

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
General Tfade Conditions.

Bradstreet's says: "Seasonablc win.

panding fttail trade in winter goods,
ruDbers and wearing apparel generally,
killing frosts have about put a period
to the marvellous fall season of 1902,
and in the South the cotton crop may
be said to be made, so far as further
growth is concerned.
All the usual scasonable changes
have about come to pass. Dairy pro.

weather from now on is needed TO in
sure the large movement OF corn cx-
pected, as the result OF active export
and home demand.
The years approaching end finds
prices well up to the highest point in
eighteen months, though meats arc
steadily declining on good receipts.
Next to the expectations, already part
ly realized. that an enormous holiday
business will be done, the most notable
feature is the practical unanimty OF
opinion that a large spring trade is in
prospect. ground for this being fur
nished by the unprecedented volume Of
such business already booked. The
feature in foreign trade is the turn in
the tide of corn exports. which have
at last begun to expand after fifteen
months of scarcity, high prices and
trfling shipments.
Iron trade conditions are queter.
This quieting has strengthened the
feeling that lower prices are to rule
next year. and hence all buyers who can
afford to hold off, Foreign iron still
holds the balance OF power in the East,
but the control is not expected to con-
tinue long. Western furnaces are in
better shape to do work. the breaking

ACCIDENTS TO ANIMALS.
WHAT CAN BE DONE BEFORE THE VEH
Urinary SURGEON ARRIVES.


It has been estimated that over so per cent Of
the deaths that occur among domestic animals
among horses, dogs and cats-are due to th<
treatment that these animals receive in the in
tervaI between their falling ill and the veter-
mary surgeons arrival.
When a pet animal is taken sick or when II
meets with an accident, the first thing most
people do is to send for veterinary surgeon
But his arrival is never Immediate there is al
ways wait, and on the treatment accorded "a
the animal during this wait its recovery or death
often depends.
In general people do not know how to treat
sick or injured animals. Over half of those they
try to treat are killed. There are some simple
rules that if followed, will do much to terminate
the wholesale and involuntary slaughter by the
public of its animal friends These rules were

the most expert veterinary surgeons of Amer

Dogs frequently choke. A bone. nail OF u

danger of death before the arrival of the sur

son for this, for it is easy, without the slightest
danger of being bitten to put the hand in the

tween the teeth and the upper jaw, and in
a similar way another bandage is passed De
tween the teeth and over the under jaw. One
person holding the ends of these two bandageS'
keeps the dogs mouth wide open; a second per-
son can then with perfect ease and safety, put
his fingers down the animals throat and re

Cats and small dogs often break their legs
It is wise in such accidents to hold them in
ones arms, perfectly still; for otherwise they
are likely to hop about and to the edges of
the broken bone to tear adjacent muscles. 1t
is possible to hold cat a dog with broken
limb in such manner that the limb Will not be
moved until the surgeons arrival. while the
animal itself will not be able either to scratch
or bite To do this it is necessary with the right
arm to support the animal and with the right
| hand to hold the hind limbs. while the fingers
| of the left hand must hold the front limbs and
| the back OF the left hand must press back the
animals head But the broken leg must hang

nor bite nor scratch
Cats and dogs are frequently poisoned. Emet-
