From Raleigh Christian Advocate.
The quiet of the Methodist

turbed on Old Christmas night
by a stampede of night walk
ers" who proceeded without GER
emory to take possession not on

dining room, placing upon the
table many burdens heavy to be
borne. while demanding of the
preacher and his family that they
eat not sparingly.
Had you seen the faces of these
walkers" you would have real
lied that there are some things

hideous. These people love the
darkness rather than the light
because their deeds are good.
They demand no price
whatever, just giving their wares

that the manners, the refine
ment, the civilization, if you
will, of the present time are of
a higher order than were the
manners, refinement and civili-
cation Of our fathers and moth
ers. Change may be, but does
not necessarily imply, improve
ment.
Material prosperity is greatly
to be desired, but it should be
the handmade and not the mis-
tress, we should take care not to
develop the mere thing at the
expense of the man, that in the
material we do not lose the spir-
itual, the ethical. When we read
that the cattle on a thousand
hills are His" to him who looks
through nature up to natures
God" the thought is of the beau
tiful imagery, and not of the
commercial value of the cattle.
Harvesting the electrical cur
rents to the wheels of our great
industrial plants is a marvellous
| utilisation of the forces of ma
ture in the works of man, but
God pity him, who, while stand
ing in wrapt admiration of this,
either would not see, or would
note with unconcern, the bril-
liant spangling of the heavens
on the background of a sum-
mer's cloud. Idealism? Even so.
So let it be, we shall value il
none the less.
i The idealism of the old South
has been scoffed at by the wise
practical ones, but at least il
was beautiful; the battling Of
the Southern armies, confined
within narrow limits and com
PEELED to rely on their own re-
sources, with an enemy over

shall take the beauty and magnif
icence out of the life of man o.
nation, only junk remain. Have
we not yet love of the beautiful
admiration for the splendors O.

yore.
Again, we say, then, let III
