Widows Pensions.

In his annual report President Eliot
has this to say about the pensions
provided for the widows of professors:
las resource for widow In cases
Of sudden disability or death, the pos
sibility of a Carnegie pension is al
ready great comfort to mel Of small
means who give their lives to the high
er education. 1t does not relieve men
who can get their lives insured from
the duty OF so doing, but there are
some men with families who cannot
get their lives insured upon any
terms, and others whose expenses are
SO near their incomes that they cannot
save the money for premiums on any
adequate amount OF insurance"

The Last Thing in Hats.

A woman's hat must be in the latest
style or she can have no peace Of

thing In fall hats at Eliasons? They
are very high In the crown and the
brims incline to be narrow with a
slight mushroom drop. The Eliason
Sisters have just received consign-
ment OF them from New York, which
every woman In the valley should see,
II she wishes to know what's what In

won't be able to resist them, for they
are beautifully trimmed and you will
find them just the thing for YOU.

all to make Christmas presents OF
this day. Why Is this? 1t is not be

gift to the world, the gift OF His Son.
All, yes, there is something divine in
it. A Christmas gift is q wonder to

Of these gifts into your house for size.
This 10 the day for Peace on Earth
and Good Will toward Men.
This Christ spirit must dominate all
hearts on this glad, festive day. The
world must settle its quarrels today.
Let all the sons Of men gather about
the manger, and worship the Prince Of
Peace. and learn how blessed 1t is to
forgive and love. This is the day to
seek out the sick and the poor, and
knock at their humble doors, and min

He who most loves little children has
not ordained 1t so, and those who try
to impose a sabbatic sobriety upon the
New Testament silence and upon the
eternal fitness Of things have not met
with any luck. BY the working OF
His providence through Christian cen

childhood and to Unreasonable Joy

the cunning devices of pure human

A JOYFUL CHRISTIANITY.
(By REV. GEO. II. MACK.)

What testimony to the influences
of Christianity that the birthday OF
its Founder is the high day Of all the
year! The day to which young and
old look forward and for which they
prepare; the time marked by festive
joy and generous giving. Christmas
is the product of a joyful Christianity.
And 1t is equally expressive of the
heart of Christ with another day in
the Christian Year Sometimes we
walk in the dark shadows of our re-
ligion when, true to life, we empha-
size the elements of sin and death,
Calvary and the tomb; but Christmas
and Easter are representative equally
with Good Friday and Passion Week
Christ came to bring Joy and peace.
Sometimes they are gotten only
through sorrow for sin and deep re-
pentance but a true experience will
come to them at last.
Everyone should be happy at this
season-and in our Joy we suppose
everyone is. But there is many a
heart hiding away in a corner keeping
10 its own solitude and darkness. One
such took his own life a few nights
ago. without friends" no one to
,are for him and no one to love. And
n the midst Of this Christmas Joy too!

from any other source. No writings
OF the first three centuries speak OF
any special observance OF the na-

then kept his court at NIcomedia. the
tyrant, finding multitudes OF Chris
tians. young and old, met together 20
celebrate Christ's nativity, commanded
the church door TO be shut, and Are
