a man past middle age, will oc-

In some parts of the country
there is dismay just now over the
proposal to do away with the
doxology in church services. But
why should anyone worry over
such a proposal? The doxology
has been too we'll established to
be abolished through the whims
of some worshipers who have
more thought of worldly affairs
than the church tenets. Let such
worshipers be silent when the
good old doxology is rendered at
the church service. There is moth
ing to compel them to join in
the singing, and why try to de-
prive others of that form of wor-
ship? The doxology will continue
to be a part of the church ser
vices as long as there is church
in which to sing it.

The general public, prosperous
and happy, and naturally looking
forward to a merry Christmas in
their own homes, should bear in
mind that it is their duty to cast
a little sunshine into some home
of poverty at Christmas-tide by
some act of charity. 1t may not
be generally known, but right
here in Sistersville are many des-
titute families, some with sick or
good-for-nothing husbands and
fathers; some without either faith
er or mother, to which the herald
ing of Christmas brings no happy
anticipation-no expectations of
being remembered with gifts, and
often no prospects of even food
and fuel. 1t would certainly be
cruel for little boy or girl with
in sight of our own home to run
eagerly to their stocking on Xmas
morning hanging in front, per-
haps, of fireless mantel-piece, to
find it empty.
