T1FTER q little over 1900 years
from the birth Of its founder
Christmas has become the
most generally observed re
ngious holiday on earth. There Is
scarcely a land beneath the sun that
does not witness some celebration OF
the day set apart to commemorate the
birth OF the Carpenter of Nazareth
While IN many Asiatic countries few
particip lite in these celebrations, there
are yet enough so that all peoples are
learning the significance of the cere
mOny. Then. too, the number Of actual
participants is increasing year by year,
SO that it takes no very great stretch
of the imagination to picture q time
when Christmas Ob5ervances will be
practically universal.
The charge Of the Master to carry his
gospel 10 all the world has been re-
ligiOuslv Obeyed. and the prophecy OF
the thousand Yeas Of pea e which wero

America are Christian in every part.
The same IS true OF Australia aud the
surrounding islands constituting Aus
tralasia. All Europe fellows the same
faith, with the single exception OF the
southeastern corner belonging to Tur-
key, and even a considerable part Of
the Turkish empire. Including Armenia.
Bulgaria and others OF the Balkan
states. embraces Christianity. while
Christian missions exist in Turkey.
In Africa, where the British govern
Egypt and all South Africa, while
France has virtual control Of Morocco
and other European powers have colo
MES throughout the continent, the faith
of the Nazarene has larger following
than any other religion.
Asia, teeming with its vast Chinese
and HindOo hOrdes. is practically the
only continent IN which Christianity Is
not the dominant faith. and even her,
it has incalculable political and strate'
gic advantages that are rapidly work

but they I'LL end the same way
With this pesSimistic remark the light
blinked wickedly. The door closed on
the young couple as they walked slow

that lorily parsonage, the head waiter,
to assign them to Il place. This astute
parsonage instantly sized them up as

with a hopeless glance at its foreign

Miriam glanced in the mirror and
gave cry Of dismay.

ant anticipatiOns. Time passed. and
the obstinate young couple grew hun
grier and angrier, for now each began
to nurse the situation as a real griev-
ance. But, though the waiter lowered
around with unmistakable anxiety,
no one called him to give the order
The situation was growing tense. Hon.
eyIun was seriously thinking Of get
ting up and going straight home to her
mother, AMI honeybOy was wondering
why men We're fools enough to marry.
The Oil head waiter was sufficiently
Interested ID watch them meditatively
by means Of mirrors, all unsupported.
Something in the air, or maybe 1t was
the Christmas spirit, crept under his
vest, and he felt tugging ut his heart
The bride was SO pretty and the man

this discord. especially tonight. Sud
denly he said to himself:

He called the waiter and gave him
a quiet order and then took from his
pocket small package of cards, each
having either q bit Of mistletoe or
holly in cOlOrs In one corner. On
these he printed in very neat charac-
terS:
GE-CHRISTMAS EVE. VERY
PEPPERY."
The waiter came to him with the
tray, on Which were two plates Of soup
and All the concomitants belonging
thereto and the proper wine The
waiter entered the tiny place and de-
posted the things with grave bust
neSSlike air, putting q card at each
place. and then discreetly retired.
Clinton scarcely noticed the arrival Of
the man. but honeybun saw him. The
soup looked good, and the little card
caught her eye. She was the one woman
in this generation with keen sense
of humOr. She began to eat.
Clinton now turned squarely and
looked at the table He jumped to
the conclusion that she had relented
and had been adroit enough to give the
order unperceived, but. though he
would condescend to eat, and the soup
Smelled very good. he would not let
her enjoy her triumph too soon, 50 he
took his soup In dignified silence. The
next course was ready as soon as he
was. On one large platter filed with
