The Spirit of

OF all the years festival days, Christ

divine and immortal; for the power
that raised Christ from the dead has
passed into the lives OF the millions.
Il comes with peculiar appropriate
oess al the season of the year when
uature is awakening to spring and
everyw here are warm winds. sunshine,
growth and beauty.
Thanksgiving is our festival OF Di-
vine Providence, celebrating the low
ing care Of God over all that He has
made. II comes al the time when, In
agricultural communities. the earth's
fruitage has been garnered and the
years work draws 10 close. IL Is a
good time in all pursuits TO close the
books with God. and to bring TO Him
the only possible return for His benef-
cence. the gratitude and appreciation
OF our hearts.
But Christmas Is the climax OF the
Christian year. II is our festival of
love. and as such Is 1t not beautifully
citing that the day should be cele-
brated by the bestowment OF gifts?
IT is as natural for love TO give as for
birds to sing and for flowers to grow.
The spirit OF Christmas Is the spirit
Of giving. This spirit takes hold upon
all classes Of people. carrying into
every soul the sweetness and purity OF
loves ministry. 1t lavishes gifts in
homes OF wealth and II finds a way in
the direst poverty.
Christmas was the day when God
gave His richest gift to men-Jesus
the Christ-and that marvellous gift OF
the ages has proved the inspiration
OF the day and given birth to the
spirit OF giving among men. And for
this reason let us give remembrance
TO just as many people as we can az.

every man might take heart in the
struggle and have a reasonable hope
Of being able to live likewise.
This gift Of service Is the best gift
which can be given 10 the world. And
this gift is within the reach OF every
body. There is no excuse for those
who do not make it. None are too
busy TO be friendly and none too great

But this spirit OF Christmas which
is 10 find its expression in the gift of
loving service is not the spirit Of mere
benevolence. Kindness that is not in
spired by comradeship is not beautiful
at all. II may be pity from a proud
heart. but that Is not friendship. and
il is not the deep brotherly love Of
Christianity. Men needs friends more
than they need aims. We all need
each others friendships. We are in
separately bound together as men OF
one race and men OF all races. The
powerful need the sympathy and rec
ognltion OF the humble. the rich of the
poor, and the cultured Of the unrehned,
and for this reason the life which finds
its expression in unaffected and uni
versal friendship is the life which has
most nearly caught the spirit Of Christ
and OF Christmas. Let us give gifts.

loving service. Thus will the spirit
of Christmas be shed abroad and make
the world brighter and better.

Carving
the Christmas
Turkey

To carve the Christmas turkey skill
fully and successfully requires a
knowledge more than that acquired by
general observation. To the amateur
carver as he watches the practlced
hand Il seems the simplest thing in
The world. but when he attempts TO
duplicate the feat he soon discovers
that careful study OF the birds an
atomy is necessary.
AT the Christmas dinner the turkey
is OF first Importance and the proper
handling OF the fowl means much
toward the success OF the Wand.

carving knife and fork. There seems

bird in all its brown and savory splen-

THROWN INTO BULL RING.
Drunken Man Who Causes Goring of
Matador Cast to Certain Death
by the Spectators.

City of Mexico,-A drunken spectator,
who was responsible for the goring OF
Sylverio Chico, famous matador, was
torn to pieces at a bull fight in Durango.
Five bulls had been killed by Chico, and
he had exhibited such skill that the
thousands of spectators in the amphi-
theater were wild with enthusiasm. The
sixth and last bull of the exhibition
proved to be particularly large and
fierce, and the cleverness of the matador
in playing" the animal gained him
fresh applause. Just as he lunged for
ward, his sword penetrating the heart OF
the animal, a drunken man hurled q
piece of iron pipe. The pipe struck the
matador on the head and he fell in front
of the bull. The enraged animal was
upon him in an instant and succeeded in
goring him six times. AS soon as the
people realized what had happened there
was rush for the drunken offender. He
was thrown into the ring and there torn
to pieces.
