the Savior born that day rests not merely
upon the historical fact that He was
born in Bethlehem and lived the life re-
corded in the gospels and rose from the
dead in mighty power There is nothing
in all history SO perfectly substantiated
as these facts. But 1t is the character
of the work accomplished by the Savior
which, perhaps more than these facts,
thrills our hearts.S inspires them with
confidence and assures us of His divinity.
What is there that proves to You so
conclusively that this Jesus is the prom
ised Divine Savior as His presence and
power in your own life? What is 50 con-
vincing as the glorious truth that Christ
has been born anew in your glad heart:
that He came knocking at the door OF
your heart when you were still without
the knowledge of a Savior's love, and
when, with trembling faith, cropping In
the dark YOU opened the door He came
in to dwell there, bringing the richest
blessings heaven can bestow.
That. to your mind, is the mightiest
ev1dece that could ever be adduced
The incarnate Christ in men and women,
living His life of grace and truth there:
ilfting them out of anger and hate and
lust and sin of every sort, and making
them live anew in such mighty measure.
the gracious life Of the self-d denying Christ
on earth-that is evidence which no man
can refute.
2. Whose is He?
Savior" and this great joy" i.
shall be to all the people,"
This Is the divine declaration that this
Heavenly Visitor was born unto" every
single individual in the whole human
race who will receive Him. He came to
offer Himself a. ransom for ALL
He did not do as governors sometimes
DO on Christmas day-grant a pardon to
one or two prisoners especially selected
IN honor OF the day-but on this first
Christmas day He came to open the
prison doors to all that are bound and
made it possible to preach deliverance to
the whole world OF captive sinners.
AS DIR. LOwrey says, He did not bass
over the earth selecting one here and
there as favorites, but stepping forward
He threw His bleeding arms around the
whole world. pressed it to His heart, and
looking up into heaven claimed that His
satisfaction was commensurate with the
offense.
Throughout His life He was for all. and
as He hung on Calvary's cruel cross the
dead, the living and the multitudes Of
the future We're considered and loved and
blessed. His all-seeing eye swept over
the graves of past generations. compass
ed the walks of living millions and
travelled down the stream OF time to our
own day, aye. to the end of the world.
And then with individuality of purpose
death for all past, present and future
being Of human kind. And when on the
cross He cried. 1T is finished" it meant
that absolutely nothing stood between
any poor sinner in oil the world and for
giveness and hope and heaven save His
own will And this is the Heavenly
Visitor who came in the days Of old

of Christmas morning Is un-
tying the twines and stripping
OFF the coverings. OF late years good
deal of ingenuity has been expended on
making the outside of Christmas presents
as attractive as possible. Dainty ribbons
pretty boxes and paper. and, latest of all,
the bright cheerful Red Cross stamps
make the garnishing of our gifts we'll
worth attention. Yet we should do de-
spite to the givers if we put equal value
upon the gifts and the wrappings.
In some such fashion the idea behind
changing has become overlaid with its
accessories. If we do not watch out We
shall fail to pierce through them to the
reality. When we have read all the beau
tiful articles and stories and poems about
Christmas, when we have hung up our
stockings and inventOried their contents,
when we have partaken of the turkey
and plum pudding and wished one another
many happy returns of the day, have we
really touched the heart of Christmas?
At the heart of Christmas is the child
like spirit. Only those who are as teach
able and trustful as little children, only
those who have the child's keen zest in
living, his eager anticfpativeness, his
quick response to benefits conferred his
simplicity and his joyousness, have really
entered into the deeper meaning Of Christ

This latter is the significance which

~ WO years ago, in the Philadel-
phia Academy of Music, we'll
known man was speaking of
the duty of the church to do
mission work both at home and
abroad He quoted a famous minister,
who said, more than a century ago:
"Why should we scatter our force and
spend our strength in foreign service
when our utmost vigilance is required at
home? What general would desire to
achieve distant conquests and scatter for
this purpose his troops over distant
and strange land when the enemy S
forces were already advancing into his
own country. estranging the citizens from
her interests and directing the whole
force of their artillery against the walls
of this capital? l cannot but reflect with
surprise that the very men who in their
sermons, by their speeches, in short, by
everything but their own lives. are anx-
ious to show to the world the growing
prof1igacy of the times at home-l can
not but reflect with surprise that these
are the very men most Jealous in pro-
noting expeditions abroad"
A similar word was added from another
short-sighted man. who said:
when our religion requires the most
unremitted and strenuous offense against
internal invasion it would be highly alb
surd to think of making distant converts
by external missionaries. This is indeed
beginning where we should end Let US
pray that Christ's kingdom may come, as
We are assured it shall come. in the course
Of Providence Let us as Christians let
our light so shine before men that, seeing
our good works. they may be led TO
glorify our Father. This is the true MODE
Of propagating the gospel; this is far pref

Are Microbes
in Your Scalp?
It Has Been Proved That Microbes
Cause Badness.

Professor Unna, of Hamburg, Ger
many, and DR.. Sabourand, the leading
French dermatologist discovered that
a microbe causes badness. Thei the
DRY has time and again been amply YER
flied through research experiments
carried on under the observation OF
eminent scientists. This microbe
lodges in the Sebur, which is the nat
ural hair oil, and when permitted to
flourish it destroys the hair follicies
and in time the pores entirely close,
and the scalp gradually takes on a
shiny appearance. When this hap
pens there is no hope of the growth
of hair being revived.
Dandruff is a contagious disease.
which is largely due to a destructive
microbe, which when left to pursue its
course causes itching scalp, falling
hair and badness. Dandruff is caused
by the microbe affecting the glands
which produce the sebaceous matter,
which latter then unnaturally dries
up and scales off.
We have a remedy which will, we
honestly believe, remove dandruff,
exterminate the microbe, promte
good circulation in the scalp and
around the hair roots and overcome
badness so long as there is any life
left in the hair roots.
We back up this statement with
our own personal guarantee that this
remedy called Rexall "93" Hair Tonic
will be supplied free of all cost to the
user if it fails to do as we state.

faded hair to it's original corol provid-
ing loss of color has been caused by
