The spirit of Christmas! What is
the spirit of Christmas? Is it the
generous spirit, the spirit of giving?
Yes, but that is not all. There will be
millions of gifts made between now
and the new year, ard they will not
all express the Christmas spirit.
Some will be made out of pockets of
plenty and thus entail no personal
service; some will be made under
eompulsion of supposed necessity.
How many people give things at this
time because they think they must
They must give to those who, they
hope or fear, will give to them. 1t is
almost unfortunate that giving and
taking has become such feature of
our Christmas celebration because
the mere gift is incapable of express
ing the spirit of this occasion, and the
occasion itself has become a burden
to many because it has been SO much
abused. It is not by giving lavishly
that we honor Christ, whose birth we
celebrate, but by sharing unselfishly
every good thing we possess. THIS
puts the best things of Christmas
within reach Of every human life and
enables every human being however
poor in goods to give generously Of
whatever else he has. We all have
much. Ia money denied us, then let
lis give what is better, word to
cheer, a smile to awaken hope, some
thing out of our hearts treasure. Who
would not rather get a cordial mes
sage from a friend that would express
his thought and appreciation, than
to get a dollar trinket? What heresy
to think that we cannot express an
unselfish love at Christmas time ex-
cept by lavish use of money. The
| spirit of Christmas is the spirit of
Christ. He came on a giving mission
but the gift was Himself-His life!
Silver and gold had He none to give,
but He gave health to the diseased,
sight to the blind, hope to the despair
| ing and salvation to all who will &C.
cept it. He proved His unselfish love
not only by giving but by sharing, by
undergoing, not only for us but with
US, all our griefs and temptations
Would we honor Christmas and enjoy
it, we must not only give but give
wisely. Whether it be a trinket, a
watch, q picture, book, or a cordial

Greatest Event in History.

There have been many great events
in the history of the world, such as
the check given to Persia by the Gre
clans at Marathon Crossing; SUCH as
the defeat of the Grecians by the Ro-
mans at Syracuse; such as the vic
tory of Charles Martel over the Mo-
hammedens; such as the discovery
of the new world by Columbus; such
as the defeat of Napoleon at Water
loo; such as the Declaration of In
dependence and the adoption of
constitutional liberty, but the one
event that stands pre-eminent in the
worlds history is the advent of the
Lord Jesus Christ.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE

remaining 20 cents were spent for
white cotton batting and diamond
dust.
After the tree was put into position,
we proceeded to f1eck it from the top
most branch down with bits of the
cotton to simulate snowfakes. When
this was done, the tree was literally
showered with diamond dust. The
box that formed the base rest was
banked with cotton. From the
branches of the tree were suspended
the tiniest OF colored paper lanterns
(Ieft-oYers from a children's party,
which had been bought for a penny
apiece.
When the candles were lighted, the
effect Of the whole was indescribably
pretty. Indeed, the children decided
that 1t was one OF the prettiest, IL the
cheapest, Christmas tree they had
ever seen.
OF course, having the. lanterns re-
duced the cost q few pennies; but
even when these must be bought for
the occasion, the outlay is trifing
when compared with the pleasure the
children derive from the expenditure.

CHANGED History of World.


The history of the world prior to
Christ is a history of barbarism, cruel
ty and bloodshed. Read the history
of Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome
and you read a history of vice, deg
radiation and crime. A history that 10
written in blood and iniquity. The
classic Greeks and tenacious Romans
worshiped a multitude of gods. Even
the inhabitants of Syria had gone
astray until it was declared by the
prophet. Our worthy ancestors, the
Teutonics, were a semibarbarous
people without literature, without gov
eminent, without refinement and with
out religion, but when they received
the glad tidings of the gospel Of
Christ their habits were changed,
their manners refined and their civil
lization improved. Wherever this COS
pei is proclaimed it is as well OF
water springing up into everlasting
life.
