Christians spoke of a Kingdom of heaven that was to be established. so the socialists of to-day preach a new order of society and inspire the faith ful with this promises Utopia. As ar guments against the carly Christians were of no avail. so do arguments fail to-day in reaching the masses who have passed under the spell of the socialistic enthusiasm. Christianity did not grow out of a philosophy of llie' 1t grew out of burning passion for life. Socialism is not shaping it. self, as some have thought. out of an economic theory; if is the spontaneous uprising of multitude that has been swept with the flame of great pas sion. If the early. church promised a paradise in the world to come. and had her hymns of spiritual ecstasy bv which the oppressed in this life ex- pressed this craving for a life of bless cdness to come, so the socialists of to- day have their hymns which speak of a paradise to be attained in this world. One stanza of such hymn l quote: "Still brave deeds ard kind are needed. Noble thoughts and feelings fair;
 le, too, must be strong and suffer,
 le too, have to do and dare.
 onWard Brothers, march still onward 1: March still onward hand in hand;
 Till ye see al last mans Kingdom, Till Ne reach the Promised Land"
 These analogles between primitive Christianity and socialism sug- gest to us the possibility of there being some deep cor respondence in the two systems of ehought or. better, in the ideals fol- lowed by each Let us therefore eo beneath the surface resemblances and see if there may be found some com mon ground of truth out of which both movements have grown. And just here l may as well declare the position that I take in this matter. II is my own unwavering conviction that the church will make a great mistake if it contents itself with simply at tacking socialism. The two move ments ought to hold sympathetic rela- uons, for each has something to con
 
 tribute to the other. I see no reason why Christians and socialists should not come together. and each attempt. in perfectly kind spirit. to find ont what the other really stands for and is striving to attain. Christian men. especially, should lay aside that nm reasoning conservatism by which they conclude that the present existing or der of things is permanent. Our in- dustrial institutions are no more per- manent than our political institutions. Even the wage-system itself is -am- paratively recent: and Carroll Wright has just been telling us that both it's origin and its growth predestine 1t to pass away. Every institution of so- ciety is simply a stage in the order of the world S progress. The words of- ten quoted as poetry express A sound economic principie: The old order cllangeth, yielding place

 Perhaps it would help towards such a sympathetic relation between organ ized Christianity and organized social ism. as I have indicated. if it could he clearly pointed out that the ideals of each. in many essential respects. are similar If were addressing an aud fence of socialists I should point out how the church has stood in the past,

LEGEND OF SANTA CLAUS.
Stockings Hung on Door of Mother
Abbess in French Converts.

There grew up a custom in Christian
countries of giving presents in secret
on the Vigil of st. Nicholas.
In Italy it was called the Zopasta,
which means in Spanish a shoe, be-
cause the gifts were put into shoes to
surprise people when they should put
them on in the morning.
In many French converts the board
ers used to place each her silk stock
ing at the door of the room of the
Mother Abbess. recommending them
selves at the same time to st. Nicholas.
And In Germany a boy dressed as a
bishop would go round in vestments
and mitre and fill the stockings hung
up.
This solemnity of the boy bishop
came to be kept here with much care
and ceremony on the feast of ST.
Nicholas to commemorate his youth
and his patronage of children. In
a monument to one of these boy
bishops who died during his term of
office. The same custom was observed
in Spain, and in Switzerland until the
end of the eighteenth century. At one
place in England, the convent of God
stowe, in Oxfordshire, public prayers
were said by a little girl dressed as an
abbess.
The custom, stopped here first by
Henry VIII. and afterward by Queen
Elizabeth, was in "a different form
carried on by the Dutch in America
and became in the end the s%ecularized
ceremony we still use here of Santa
Claus, a person dressed in Dutch or
German winter clothes of the sixteenth
century.

HIS CHRISTMAS SCHEME
Deep-Laid Plot That Resulted in a
Fine Dinner.

Mrs. Skinem.' he timidly began as
the landlady of the boarding house
came to her door in answer to his
knock. Il called to see you just a
moment regarding the Christmas din
ner."
We'll" she asked with a scowl that
made him wish he was a thousand
miles away.
You see" he went on, we've
were talking it over just now, and we
decided that it would be best not to
have turkey or plum pudding or ice
cream on Christmas, as
stop right where you are, sir
stop right where you are!' cut in the
landlady, angrily. WHO do you think
is running this boarding house, any
way"
Why, you, of course, ma'am."
"Who provides the meals here at
great trouble and %expense?"
you do, my dear Mrs. Skinem."
'Who sees that the people of this
house always get what's best for them
to eat?"
"You-you do. Mrs. Skinem."
Am | a woman, do you think, who
is capable of running a first-class
boarding house as one should be
rum she demanded to know as she
looked him up and down in a way to
make his hair curl with fear.
"You-you certainly are he prompt
ly replied.
"Well then" she said, you may go
down and tell the other boarders that,
just as long as | am at the head of this
place and pay the rent and buy the
provisions | propose to do as | see fit.
and | will take no orders, sir, regard
Ing the meals"
And instead of the beef stew and
bread pudding that Mrs. Skinem had
planned for the Christmas dinner she
provided a 20-pound turkey and a
mammoth plum pudding and a gallon
of ice cream, and she went around
all day with a chip on her shoulder,
just wishing that some one would
make a complaint about it.
But there were no complaints.
There were only chuckles and smiles
and whispers over the little game that
had been played so neatly on Mrs.
Skinem, and sometimes a SILVER as
some of the more timid thought of
what would happen if the husky land
lady ever learned of it.

SPOILED BY A COOK
CHRISTMAS EXPERIENCE IN A
WoMEN's BOARDING HOUSE..
How a Famished Tableful Had to Wait
for Their Turkey Until the Bel
lieerent Female Could Be
Coaxed from the Room.

MY most unpleasant and yer most
comieal experience of keep
ing said the concert singer. dates
back TO the time when | lived for
economy's sake in a home for working
women. The cook we had was a good
one. and so. when Christmas day came.
We all fell assured that at one o'clock
we should have our orthodox turkey
and-plum-pudding dinner.
But one bottle of whisky. snug
gled into a Christian kitchen. will up
set the expectations of 80 hungry
boarders. Just how many drinks the
cook had that morning. | cannot say,
but when dinner time came she was
b~elligerently drunk. The turkey was
as well roasted as though she had
been sober, but what was that to the
boarders in general. when she stood
aver 1t, c%arying-knife in hand. declar-
Ing that not a soul in that dining-room
should have a mouthful of it but
ANN and myself?
"Vainly did the matron threaten and
entreat. The determined cook was not
TO be disarmed. Mamma and | were
|bountifully helped, but the others sat
and waited, wondering what would be
the outcome of the trouble. Finally.
the defeated matron came out of the
kitchen, and with tears in her voice,
said to me:
q can do nothing with her. Will
you go in and see what you can do?'
HAnd CO uant II md l., -. x,z,f
affable manner invited intoxicated
Bridget to sit down and have a friend
ly cup of tea with myself. She COM
piled, though with an eye still on the
turkey. After we had had our tea. by
eXerting all of my arts and wiles | per-
suaded her to go III stairs and to bed.
II was not until she was safely out of
the kitchen that dinner was served to
the other boarders.
"Of course the next day there was a
bad quarter of an hour for that cook,
one that ended with her getting her
buds together and skipping Many,
in fact, all of us. were ready to plead
for her, knowing that she could not
easily be replaced but the matron
was adamant, protesting that in her
experience with the creature she had
already forgiven her until seventy
times seven, and she wasn't going to
forgive her again. And heard after
ward that it was really a year or
more before the woman was taken
back again into that kitchen.
Naturally, it was easier for the
other b%oarders, who, you may be sure,
resented that invasion of their wit
ties, to forgive the cook than to make
friends with mamma and me, and from
that time On we were the most unpop-
ular persons in the house. We had
been ruined by a cooks favor. 1t
would not have mattered SO much
about the boarders, but the detection
of her kitchen head vas too much for
the matron's m~agnanimity, and as she
managed the lady managers of that
institution, it was not very long before
we too, in our culinary friends Ian
guage, had to get II buds together
and skip"
