they did they would surely perish. But one morning-all the days there had mornings and evenings, but no night-one morning a beautiful mirage off in the distance began to beckon the young man. The cataracts waved their white skirts of foam, crying: Comet Come!' There the deer, with great eyes of wonderment, watched as the birds sang: "Comel Come! Why don't you come?" So the young man called for his bride, and they started forth out of the island. No sooner did they pass over the little neck of land separating them from the main land than this beautiful mirage vanished. The rocks began to groan and crack, the vapor was licked up, the mountains closed in, and they were in prison.
 When the executioner of Brahma came to lead them forth to eternal death the young man cried out: "Oh, executioner, kill me, but not my loved one. It was my fault, not hers.' Then answered Brahma, "I will slay thee and not thy wife" Nay" answered the wife, If thou wilt not save my husband then let me die, for I would sooner be with my loved one in death than live in Paradise alone" Then says the legend. lon account of this wondrous love for each other Brahma saved them both"
 This is a heather legend. But Is a  heather legend to have more Christian love in it than we have? On this glorious Christmas Sabbath morning can we not feel the good tidings of great joy means that Christ has saved us? And then, with wondrous love for our fellow men, cannot we, like the twain in the Brah- man legend be so concerned for the vel fare of others that we are ro-dy even to die that they may be saved, ready at the risk of health and life to carry the good news of salvation to those who have never heard 1t or in the home land to devote our means, our time and our labor to the task of proclaiming the glad tidings of great joy which have come to all people?
 May this be the happiest and gladdest Christmas of our lives. May 1t be the time when we see anew the face of Jesus and tell of his love, his redeeming love, wherever we may go. wish you one and all a merry, merry Christmas"

CHILD CRIMINALS IN NEW YORK
Conditions in the Poorer Districts Are
 Held Responsible.
From Leslle.s Weekly.

From Lesie's Weekly.
 New York is infested with boy thieves, particularly in the poorer districts, due to the poverty which expresses their par ents The dweller in the Ghetto with eight or ten hungry mouths to feed, and with the opportunity of earning pr 1ba bly no more than three dollars a week in sweat shop, soon loses whatever scruples he may have had against receiving the benefits of crime. If one of his boys can bring him regularly three or four dollars more, the struggling father Is so grateful for 1t that he does not make very searching inquiry for the source of this good income.
 The boy, who is familiar with the ways of the city, while the father cannot even speak the language of his adopted coun- try perhaps tells his parents vaguely that he is working somewhere which de- ceives and satisfies the parents as long as long as the money comes in regularly. More than likely. however, the boy is pocket-book thief He works in the crowds of women shoppers among the push cart mercantile establishments in the east side streets. While a woman is vigorously and yociferously engaged in an effort to induce fish merchant to re- duce the price of fish from nine cents to eight cents, it Is not always difficult for the boy to sndlcn her pOcket-DOok ana lose himself in the crowd. And this pocket-book may contain the result of a whole week of unrelenting labor, and the woman is probably as poor and needy as the mother of the little thief Such is one of the crimes induced primarily by poverty
 The evils of congestion result in other forms of wrong doing. In the crowded tenements there Is little privacy The barriers between families are broken down; the usual customs of modesty are, of necessity. ignored. On a single floor of a tenement house there may be four fam flies, twenty-five persons in all, perhaps. In the summer the heat is dull torture; , and the hall doors of tine dwellings are thrown wide open. half of the persons living on one floor sleeping in the hall way. where there Is a draught of air. The effect of this life is far from benefi- cial to the morals of young girls.

Religion the Last Thing to
Quarrel About

Naturally enough, the orthodox Jews of
the East Side Ghetto are satisfied with their
own religion and are interested in no other.
Their race has felt that way in the whole Of
the nineteen centuries since the advent of
Christianity, and the number of conversions
of Jews to Christianity has been rela-
lively small. They have kept themselves
apart from all other peoples and their relig-
ion is distinguished as the religion of a race.
Everybody in this land of liberty, however,
is free to undertake to convert anybody else
to his religion. Christians on their side and
Jews on theirs.
The East Side, now populated chiefly by
Jews, was once the seat of a Protestant
community of Christians, who had great
churches there. They were replaced by the
Irish and Germans after the great immigra-
ton of those races beginning in the middle
of the last century, almost wholly Roman

lee of it's existence by giving the perform
ance of colleen Bawn' at the Grand opera
house on last Monday night Every seat was
sold at an advanced rate for the benefit OF
their sinking fund. A representative audi
ence of the wealthiest and best of Jewish
society was present and between $4,000 and
$4,000 will be realized for the cause. Fifty
years ago this month fire devasted a part
of this city and several Jewish families were
rendered homeless and penniless thereby.
Twenty of the Jewish ladies prominent here
then formed this society, which has done so
much good since, and it was felt that this
golden anniversary should be marked by
some event quite out of the ordinary.
