HAD FINE EYE FOR HAIRS.
Professor of Natural History Was Too
Keen for Mischievous
Students.

An eminent naturalist who holds-and
fills, as well-a chair in a university, an
nounced to the members of his class one
morning that he had something of un-
usual interest to show them, relates
Youths Companion.
Il have here, gentlemen" he said,
Some hairs from the skin of young
crested seal, and we will proceed 10 study
their peculiarities."
Unfolding the small piece of paper that
contained them. he spread the nairs out
on a sheet of white cardboard and turned
to get his microscope, which was on a
desk behind him.
While his back was turned a roguish
student quickly swept the hairs off the
desk into his hand, and substituted others
very closely resembling them.
Young gentlemen, said the professor,
severely, moment later, as he glanced
at the sheet of cardboard, there has
been some underground work here. These
are mole hairs"
They never attempted to fool the pro-
fessOr again.

and acceptable service rendered for the
Christ. The first essential need is the
making room for Jesus. The crowded
condition of the inn may find its coun-
terpart in our lives where the cares and
activities of this life would crowd out
the claims of God upon us, ard make US
prone to turn the Christ away with the
excuse that there is no room, that we are
busy providing for the present guests
who have found lodgment with us. To
reject Christ does not require that we
show open enmity and hatred towards
Him. Christ was not driven from the
door Of that inn at Bethlehem in cruel
hatred. 1t was enough that Mary anG
Joseph should be told, perhaps ever SO
politely and reeretfully, that there was
no room. 1t served the same purpose OF
shutting out the Christ, and so with you
and me. We may know OF no bitter or
position or hatred ruling in the heart
which keeps the Christ out. All that is
necessary is to be so filled and crowded
with other things as to lead us to turn
Him politely away, end say: Some
day, when we are not so pressed for
room and time, we will be glad to well
come you" But Jesus does not wait on
such invitation. The opportunity OF
sheltering the Christ came to the inn
but once, and that opportunity lost was
lost forever, and so it may be with you.
Jesus comes at this Christmas time. He
seeks for room and shelter in your heart
Will you not make place for Him there
at once. even though every other thing
has to be turned out and given up? Bet
ter have the Christ than all else that the
world can give.

Doing Great Work.

That Dodd's Kidney Pills are doing a
great work in curing the more terrible
forms of Kidney Disease, such as Bright S
Disease, Dropsy and Diabetes, every body
knows. But it must also be noted that
they are doing still greater work in wip-
ing out thousands of cases OF the earlier
stages of Kidney Disease. Take for in
stance Mrs. Peter Barteau, of this place,
She says:-
81 have been subject to pains in my
back and knees for about three years, but
since l have been taking Dodd's Kidney
Pills I have been entirely cured"
Others here tell similar stories. In fact
in this part of Missouri there are scores
of people who have cured the early symp-
toms of Kidney Disease with Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. The use of the great American
Kidney Remedy thus saved not only the
lives of Kidney Disease victims, but thou
sands of other Americans from years OF
suferings.

L sary of the birth of Christ is cele-
| brated is not enough. One may share
| in all the activities and pleasures OF
| the day, and still be an inmate OF the
| inn, and a stranger to the true signifi-
| canoe of the birth in the stable. One
may hear the wonderful Divine mystery
whereby the Son OF God left Heaven and
became flesh through the operation of
the Holy Spirit and still be blind to the
Divine light that filed the stable re-
cesses. Think you not that the inn was
astir next day with the news of the
events which had transpired in the
stable? Think you not that every one
was talking of the Babe in the manger.
OF the story of the shepherds and their
visit in the early morning? Ere the
mornings sun had climbed the Beth

still the Christ is absent, kept out by
| the crowded condition of the inn. The
news of the birth of Jesus has reached
the inn and it freely joins in the ceIe-
bration of the event, but the stable
where room is found for Jesus is The
place where the true celebration is held.
You may be content with the festivities
of the inn, and never care to enter into
the deeper joys of the stable where
Jesus is. AS of old, it is the question

recently about the evils of cigarette

asked what the youngsters would think
if they should meet an angel wandering

display the scene of the lowly stable ct
Bethlehem. Before the window stood
two little girls, their faces beaming with
pleasure, while they talked to another
little girl between them, and around
whom they had their arms. This dear
child was quite blind, and to her poor
sightless eyes the pretty window told
no story. But the loving little friends
told the blind child of the rude stable.
the hay, the cows and the sheep, the
sweet mother beside the manger IL
which the Christ-child was sleeping,
the open door through which the won
dering shepherds were coming and the
bright star above which shed soft light
over all. The little blind girl listened
with absorbed interest, drinking in
every detail of the window decoration
as it was described, and reproducing it
in her minds eye until her face lit up
with a joyful z~,ile. and, clespiDg her
hands together in rapture. she ex-
claimed, again and again: "Ah! that
is beautiful" And ah! how many there
are who, like the little blind girl before
the show window in Berlin, where the
scene of Jesus birth was depicted, stand
beholding the Christmas celebration
and yet because OF blindness of heart
they do not see and realize its hidden
beauty and meaning! All. how we
would love to throw our arms about
such and try and tell them all the Won
derful story of Gods love and Gods gift!
How we long to bring such to open the
heart and make room for the Christ
Who has come into the world to seek
and to save the lost! Why stay in the
inn. away from the Christ, when we
may enter into His very presence and
realize, as did the shepherds that night.
that unto Us is born in the city OF
David, a Saviour, Which is Christ the
Lord" Between the experience of the
inn and the stable there is the same diff
ference as that which marked the blind
girl and her little friends. God grant

~ HAT is the message of the stable?
" What is the message of the inn?
One stands for cooperation with God,
the other rejection and Indifference to
His claims One becomes the recipient
Of blessing, and the medium of exalted
service, while the other in narrow
selfshness loses both blessing and the
privilege of service. The characteristics
of the stable and the inn are still to be
marked in the world to-day. There are
those who are willing to receive the
Christ, and who thus become instrl-
ments in Gods hands of great service
and blessing. On the other hand, there
are those who typify the inn and refuse
the Christ admittance, and maintain an
attitude of supreme Indifference to His
claims upon them. Al the glad Christ

which to consider this supreme ques-
ton? With you and me it is either the
stable or the inn. There is no neutral
ground. The Christ child, the Christ

heart and seeks for admission. Shall
the rejection of the inn, OF the welcome
Of the stable, mark Our attitude?

only the feeble light of mans pro-

stamped with the Stigma of inhospital-
iIy. The stable became the center OF
interest for the angelic hosts as they

wondering shepherds where the Babe
was TO be found, while the inn passes
into the obScurity OF oblivion. The
