Al CHRISTMAS TIME.
BY Inez May Felt.
Within an old cathedral dim
The white-robed choir chant hymn,
That old, old story DER again,
OF peace on earth, good will toward
men.
A holy silence fills the air.
And every head is bowed In prayer,
While from the tower the joy-bells
chime
AT Christmas time.
Far out upon the briny deep
The mariner his watch doth keep
For his bright, guiding Bethlehem
star,
The beacon light that shines afar;
And, as he sees it's kindly rays,
He thinks of home and other days,
,Of loved ones in q distant cline
AT Christmas time.
Again at the old homesteads door
Dear friends and kindred meet once
more,
To sit around the hearthstone's glow,
And heary to bells across the snow.
They talk of youth and hope and love,
And gently speak Of those above,
The missing ones, with faith sublime,
At Christmas time.

MODERN SCIENCE.

Only for modern science in Optomi-
terry Mrs. Reed would have been as
helpless today as she was 50 years ago.
Science in Optomitery has maze it pos
sible in such cases to bring out normal
vision by the use OF glasses. All her
eyes ever would have needed was pair
OF lenses ground in such manner as tc
properly refract the light into her eyes,
which properly ground glasses alone
can do. Mrs. Reed labored under the
Impression for over 60 years that he,
eyes were diseased In this she was
mistaken, as only the shape Of the eye
balls were at fault, which could easily
have been remedied by the use Of
glasses. OF course in such cases COM
mon glasses would have worked an in
jury. which can easily be understood
by examining her present glasses, pre-
scribed by DIR. Lew ArntZ. as with them
not one in a hundred with normal eyes
can see even the largest of print. and
ordinary glasses for Mrs. Reed would
not only be worthless. but exceedingly
harmful.

THE NEED OF COOPERATION.

OF the many so-called shortcomings
with which the race is cursed none
helps to keep us down SO much as the
lack Of unity.
This lack of cooperation pervades
the race not only in Iowa but ev ary-
where in this country where Ethiopt.
ans are gathered together, and it may
be seen in every phase Of our race,
life and activity. It is seen in our
refusal to aid one another in business.
It matters not how good business
member of the race may conduct,
it may be clean or it may be other
wise, we would rather go blocks away
to some white store because it is a
white store. 1t is seen when mem
Der of the race gets little money,
instead of investing some Of it in
some enterprise that would be OF ser
vice to the race he digs a hole in the
ground and seals it up, or attempts
to amingle with the whites"
In cooperation there is strength.
We seem. however, to be deaf, dumb
and blind as to the truth of this tru-
ism Welet envy, jealousy and every
other thing which is low and con-

Mr.. Robert H. Terrell, writing In
the New York Age of November cath,
Of the Coleridgs Taylor musical fes-
Itival rendered at the nations capital
November 1917. says in part: when
Samuel Coleridge Taylor, of London,
walked upon the platform Of Conven.
ton Hall Wednesday night and made
his bow to four thousand people, the
event marked an epoch in the history
of the negro race of the world. It
was the first time that a man with
African blood in his veins ever held
baton over the heads Of the men,
bers of the great marine band. There
also was a chorus Of more than 200
voices, the best aggregation Of sing
ers, white or colored Washington has
ever had. And what a wonderful per-
pormance did band, chorus, soloists
and leader give! The whole affair
was simply indescribable and we may
never see nor hear its like again.
There was Samuel Coleridge-Taylor,
one of the worlds greatest musicians;
there was the Samuel ColeridgeT Taylor
Choral Society: there was the orches-
ira of the foremost band in our coun-
try. and there We're the soloists, Nine.

A large congregation assembled in the
Mathewson street Methodist Episcopal
church, last evening. to listen TO the
fourth OF series OF sermons on THE
Twentieth Century Man" by the pastor,
Rev Charles NJ. Meldon. Prior to the
sermon. the subject OF which was THE
Temptations OF Twentieth Century
Man" an excellent musical program was
given by Frank r. streeter, the church
organist, Bowen r. Church. who rem
dered "Cujus Amman from the stabat
Mater, and selections by the church
choir. and a bass solo by Albert A.
Walker.
After Scripture reading and prayer by
DR.. Talbot. the sermon by Dr. Meldon
was delivered, part of which was as fol-
lows:
Among the principal dangers con-
fronting the young man OF the present
day. Judge selden p. Spencer mentions
a loose view OF temptation, leading one
to forget its author. to daily with its
pretended pleasures and thus to weaken
the Will and lessen the power of re-
sistance.'
That we may the better remember. I
shall mention certain classes of temp
tation. Among the 6rst may be cited
those arising from social life. Everyone
who mingles In what is called society
feels the pressure OF certain laws or
conventions, which hold their subject in
a despotic power. He Is expected to
conform to them, and must do so or be
regarded as boorish and ill-mannered.
Unfortunately some OF these customs are
such that conscientious person feels
that he cannot observe them. He must
either sacrifice principle or endure cen
sure II not ostracism. Furthermore, the
demands OF society are expensive There
are parties and entertainments. re-
ceptions to be attended and to be ten
dered
Fashionable dissipation costs a great
deal OF money and many people of limited
means are led into serious financial diff
ficulties in trying to keep up with their
neighbors. The temptation to extrava-
canoe is a common one. It's victims are
legion. II is the prolific mother OF dis
honesty in various forms. The secret OF
many a trusted persons downfall Is
found in his extravaganza in his de-
termination 10 keep UP with his neigh
Dor.
1T Is the same old story. In order
to supply funds for their ventures all
too often men are led into the crimes Of
forgery. theft or embezzlement. Many a
man tonight is languishing in a felon's
cell, or a fugitive from justice. who can
trace his downfall TO the mania for
gaming In some one OF It's multitudinous
forms.
But the fact still remains uncon-
trovertible, that for every sin. for every
evil deed. the individual himself is re-
sponsible. Let no man say he Is tempt
ed OF God God tempteth no one. Do
not make the awful mistake that your
sin will not be followed by the legitimate
consequences. You, and you alone, will
be held responsible, for every man must
give an account OF himself to God"
