Rev. Edw. G.. Allard, pastor of the
First English Baptist Church, surprised
his congregation last Sunday morning
by announcing his resignation to accept
a call to the Baptist Church in Cristield,

Christmas

To-day, or some day centuries hence,
the breaking of tomb in Palestine may
disclose the apparent frightful prob
ability that the First Evangel did never
rise
This would be the material view.
But what spiritually? What of all
the faith reposed in His resurrection on
the third day? What of all the scruples
of conscience, all the prayers, all the
tears of sixty generations of penitential
devotion?
Let the Christian take heart. Let
him reflect with all the surety of GER
talnty-all the certainty of surety, that
the fruits of His c0ming are here.
Let him bark to the testimony of the
infallible Inner Witness that whatever
may have or may not have happened at
the tomb near Calvary-thrjSt is Here
here in every good gift as in every
"good word and work, especially every
deed animated and electrified by the
Heaven born spirit of the Golden Rule

NOnDluSSed.

The report goes that a Mt. Savage girl
wanted Ralph Wilson to endow her
with an automobile for a Christmas Gift,
but Ralph thought it not just the thing.
Still she insisted. Finally, Ralph got on
his feet and in his most impressive man
ner detained
The whimbledy- Wiling is a fearsome thing,
And frilp of tnksome feather;
But the chortling chort with the squishful
sqwOrt
Can snickle the squimps in tether-
Can snickle the squimps
Of the sqwushful frimps
And Chortle the swish together,
For the life of her the girl couldn' t
comprehend the import of the quotation
She admired Ralph's style, but whether
text and tone were favorable, she couldn t
determine. The words. Feather, "
"tether,' and together" seemed aus
piciOus, but that was all.
And so the situation stands even at
this late hour.
The stanza quoted is the first of lyric
originally written and acclaimed by
Port Shaffer.

Lovingly Dedicated to My Grandfather
There's a tiny race of people
Cunning, clever, child-like folk.
Who build castles in the forests
Meath the shades of spreading oak.
On the banks of bubbIing streamlets-
Slipping, sliding, silvery streams,
Happy thus with nimble fingers
Weave our fancies into dreams.
When the golden moon is shining
Mystic, misty eltins play,
Knowing that our dreams are woven
And are gliding on their way.
With their tiny, skillful fingers,
Whispering, whisking workers reap
All the joys that they have sent us
With the help of gentle sleep.
