one great purpose of our earthly exist

Or are we blightng the soul against the

centred endsY Every one lives for one OF
two purposes, for self or for others, for
the worldly kingdom or for the heavenly
kingdom No man can serve both Of these

SALE or Red Gross srAmps.

he remarkable success that is attending the
sale OF the Red Cross stamps in this city
and elsewhere is sufficient attest OF the prevailing
Christmas spirit and the disposition to support
this most charitable work. 1t was splendid idea
OF the women of the Delaware Branch Of the Red
Cross Society and it is proving OF inestilnable
benefit to those who are working so nobly for
the support Of the hospital that has been estab-
lished near this city for the treatment of the
dreaded disease.
The sale OF stamps has extended far beyond the
bounds OF Delaware, and the local Red Cross or

receive unexpected aid in carrying on their labor
Help the cause by buying these stamps. They
are emblematic OF the Christmas feeling and each

VIEWS OF CHRISTMAS.

MOT always was the Christmas season the
1 gladsome soul-opening and heart-outpour-
ing holiday that it is to-day. Few in this time
would wish the season is6gured or suppressed
and vet II was not always thus During the early
days Of the country, when Puritanical ideas held
sway, at least in part of the colonies, Christmas
was a season of frowns instead of JOY.
In l6ss. for instance, our foreiathers read such
tracts as christmas Day. taking TO heart the
heathen's fasting day in honor to Saturn, their
idol god The Ppphane mans Ranting day The
superstitious mans idol day The multtudes idle
day. whereon they can DO nothing, they do worse
than nothing" Tt was the custom of the Puri-
tans to hold indignation meetings on Christmas
eve. The churches were kept shut and the mar
ket places were opened on Christmas. Even as
late as 1870 when England was slowly releasing
herself from the grip, OF, Puritanism, it was a
penal ohense to abstain from. work in Boston on
Christmas Day.
How times have changed The old religion Of
gloom gives place to the religion Of hope, and 90
the Christian, Christmas is the greatest of all
days. the time for spiritual rejoicing. And it is
well that it is so. ~f

no power to bring happiness. There IS but
one thing that can satisfy, and that is the
life that was in Jesus Christ, the love
wherewith lie hath loved us. Every one
who finds happiness must come to this
love, for out OF its exercise alone comes
that which satisfies That we might
know the path that leads to it, what It is,
and where TO find the all satisfying life
Jesus said, II am the way, the truth and
the life.' And he who finds that love, be

FOR MODEL TENEMENT HOMES.
A Phlanthropic Enterprise Which In-
 cidentaIly Pays Per Cent Interest.
the New .York Trlhnne.

From the New York Tribune.
 As a result of a movement to improve the dwellings of the poor, begun q few years ago by an association that numbers among it's founders Andrew Carnegie, J. Pierpont Morgan and Miss Helen Gould, four large groups of model tenement buildings for white occupants and an- other for negroes, in all accommodating about 2000 families, have been erected in the most densely populated sections of New York. These tenements are sanitary and wholesome and are amply protected from fire.
 George w. Fallen, secretary of the City and Suburban Homes company, the cor porate name of the association, said yes- terday:
 We are extending our field of opera tions We have another estate on First avenue, east of Forty-irs street. One of the latest and finest groups of tenements is on Seventy eighth and Seventy y-ninth streets, between Avenue A and the East river On the west side there are the AL fred Corning Clark buildings Sixty eighth and Sixty-ninth streets, comprising a group of nine model buildings, and the Tuscogee, in SiXty-second street. The lat ter is a model tenement for negro people, in the neighborhood of the notorious San Juian hill.
 New York's tenement problem is vastly more urgent than London's, yet in the English metropolis more than $1000O 900 has been invested in improved homes for wage earners. We need as much here as it is we have only a little over S5, ,000,- 00u. As one of New York's most promi- nent men once said in this office, Your

From the Kansas City Journal.
 At the Aero club the other night one of the members said that the first man to fly was neither Daedulus nor Iearus, but according to the ancient Teutonic legend, Wieland the smith Weand got into trou- ble with King Nidung, of North Jutland, so the King ordered severed the Achilles tendons of both Wieland's heels. Wieland then built flying cloak, for which his brother Egil provided the feathers. Vie lands faith was somewhat less than that of the usual inventor, since he forced Egil to make the first flight with the cloak. He purposely told him to fly against the wind and to descend with the wind, which made it certain that he would be too smashed up when he landed to fly away with the coat. Egil had terrible fall when he followed his broth CTS advice. Wieland having made sure that the cloak worked all right, put 1t on an1 flew away, deserting his brother.
