Why He stayed Out.

There were two country merchants,
brothers, well along IN years, and
among the most prosperous citizens
Of their county. One Of the brothers
was moved not long ago to believe
that he should join the church.
Neither had ever paid attention to
religious afairs, but q stirring evan
gellst had finally aroused the elder
man to feel that the church Was where
he belonged. BE snd'avorsi to per-
suade his brother to join the church
with him, but whenever the subject
was mentioned the brother always
waived the subject by, and would
not discuss the matter. Finally the
elder brother said one day; John,
why don't you join the church, If |
do2" "Well, Bill, | might /. well
tell you. You go ahead and JOIN the
church, but il join it too, who's go
to weigh the wool'"

The Christmas Opportunity.

The poor are especially to be COM

penury is in sharp contrast with the
sfluence of their neighbOrs. Wheth-
er they are worthy" poor or not, if
they are cold, suffering and forlorn,
Christmas is a good time for extend
ing them a warm hand-olasp and CIV
ing them a subtaDtial lift, not mere
charity, but something mOre-a low
ing human kindness. If possible,
Christmas should bring our unfortu-
nate friends something that is not
mere almsgiving, that partakes rather
of that large tenderness which prompt
ed her who broke her jar Of precious
perfume over the head of our Lord.

About tn, worst case Of illegible
handwriting ever recorded is told by
Representative Smith, Of Michigan,
who says:
many years ago man owned a
building situated on land belonging
to the Michigan Central Railroad.
The superintendent, who wrote awful
spider tracks, wrote to the man or
dering him TO remove the building
The house, however, was not remoy-
ed, and about nine months sfterwsrd
tre superintendent met the man and
asked why he had not removed the
house as he WAS ordered TO do.
81 received no such order" answer
ed the owner Of the house.
al wrote you, sir, to remove it,
said the superintendent.
why, sir, I thought that was a
pass over the road, and | have been
using it as such sll these nine months.

conductors could decipher the paper,

Stopping a Paper.

An acquaintance met Horace Gree

I've stopped your paper" Have
your" said Horace. "Well, that's too
bad" and the old white hat went its
way.
The next morning Greeley met his
subscriber again and said; Thought
you stopped the Tribune $50 I
did" Then there must be some
mistake, said Horace, "for l just came
from the Office and the presses were
running, the clerks were ss busy as
ever, the compositors were hard at
work, and the business was going on
the same as yesterday and the day
before" "OhT CALCULATED the sab.

Keeping Christmas.

1t is good thing to observe Christ
mas Day. The mere markings of
times and seasons when men agree to
stop work and make merry together
is wise and wholesome custom. 1t
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 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 re-
member 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 little more than your duty IN
the foreground to see that your tel-
low 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 ont of life, but what you
are going to give to life; to close
your book of complaints against the
management of the universe and look
around you for place where you can
SOW few seeds Of happiness-sre you
willing to do these things even for
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 lone
illness and weakness 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 50 that it will give more light
and less smoke, and to carry 1t IN
front so that your shadow will fall be-
hind you; to make grave for your
ugly thoughts and a garden for your
kindly feelings, with the gate oren-
are you willing to do these things
even for 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 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 always1
But you can never keep it alone.

IAN that's jest who it was The
man named Miller, who had died

cousin O. the name of Miller had been
sent to meet the children because
their pa had been sick an wasn't
hardly strong enough to come away
over to Singin' River for them. He
lived in little camp only about 20
miles away, but it was hard road to
travel for well man, even. So this
cousin he come, an from all we could
make out, he had lost his way in

thought it to his shame that he just
broke clean down an laughed an
