LITTLE SERMONS.
JESUS OF NAZARETH.-BY o. 0.
 WRIGHT.

And Jesus advanced in wisdom ana stature, and in favor with God land man. Luke 2:52.
 I like to think of the example of Jesus of Nazareth as typical of the di- vine significance of our colnmon human life. To me it teaches what is the real value of the schooling and discipline of this present world. It seems to me to indicate what are the best conditions on earth for the evo- lution of the moral and spiritual life; and to show what is essential here, to our eternal hereafter. Let us think of the little country village among the hills of Galilee. The natural en- Vironment was simple, quiet. and beautiful. The inspiration of Ma ture was such as to help and not hin- der the growth, and spontaneous 1n- folding of the life of the spirit, which in the sight of God is more than all that the schooling, culture, and ex- perience of the world can give. Great, strong, pure characters grow from within, by the Spirit of Truth, and are not dependent upon what the world has to give. They are not sub ject to the world; uut the word is subject to them. We are too much what the world is pleased to make us. Jesus came to lift us above the world, by the sweet attractive power of the divine love, which 0vercomes the careworn, sinful life of the senses.
 The social life of Jesus must have been filled with the purest happiness, as it was noted for its divine sim plicity. How lovely must have been his natural relations with hismotherl How much is expressed in those words we rass cver so light,y. we may never know: And his mother kept all tbe1c ,a%in5s in Ter i.eayt"; but this we do kroW, that the picture of the Madonna and Child has an in- conceivable power TOT gOrd urcn the hearts of mankind; and the sacred gift of motherhood IS henceforth for ever associated with the Incarnation, and the redemption of the world. And it may we'll be said that the young man who loves his motEer with true, abiding reverence, can scarcely be far from the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. The social circle of village life seems to me to afford the best possible opportunity for the practice of all the domestic and civic virtues; and for the most perfect fulfilment of that great, uni rersal law of the spiritual life-the

love Oi God and 0W felinw-men. For in order to love Gul peigL bOrs our seiv yes we must tJme into rersOna contact with theiu ln small com. munilies earh may know all the rest even as he is known; and suth per sonal knowledge Cc all the weak. nesses, wants and woes of others af- lords the best opportunities for the highest manifestatiors of patience and Ioving-kindGess. ln the titles we can know but Jew at best; of necessity we pass by many on the other side: and we may easily harden our hearts against the constant ap- peals for help we cannot give. And on the other hand, how happy are we 10 know so well, SO many we can trust and love
 "e may infer, think, that in Nazareth, there were not many grades of social distinctions, each it. tie set lifting itself above another, and every Individual alike seeking to reach the top-most round of popular favor. People who know each other well are the most likely to rate them selves upon what they are, and have in common, and to find their fellow ship in those who are most congenial. The simplest state of society is prooa- ply nearest to that of the Kingdom of Christ, in which we are all known by our real characters. And if this be true, why should we ever wish to appear to be what we are not? And why should we not be content, "to do our duty in that state of life unto which it shall please God to call us"?

New York, Dec. 24.-The activities
In today's holiday stock market were
restricted almost wholly to the clos
ing up of contracts. The holiday
spiri was manifest in the hopeful
sentiment prevailing. The constraint
on activity is partly due to the await
ing of the year-end money settle,
ments and the dread of flurries in the
call loan market in the last week OF
the year. Evidence of the over sup.
ply of funds, however, helped to allay
apprehension and conduced to stiff
fleming of prices.
Discounts eased also in the foreign
markets, indicating the prospect OF
money relaxation.
Individual stocks here and there
continued to show marked strength.
The most conspicuous movement
was in the Rock Island grounp, both
in stocks and in collateral bonds Sc

PROPER WAY TO DRINK MILK
2houd Be Consumed slowly--Best
Method Is to Take Teaspoon
ful at Tins.

There are two ways OF drinking
milk, the right and the wrong way
and a majority of people drink II the
wrong way This Is the chief reason
why milk disagrees with some people
MIX must not be imbibed like water
1t should be drank very slowly, a siI
at d time. Really the best way is tt
take teaspoonful at a time.
There Is scientific reason 70
drinking milk slowly and in small
quantities. Milk curdles as soon a.
it comes into contact with the juice 0
the stomach If whole glass of mill
is taken at one draught into the stom'
ach the result is large curd through
which the gastric juices cannot readily
penetrate and act with the necessary
solvent power.
Milk, without question. Is one OF the
most valuable Of foods. 1t contains all
the elements necessary for maintain
Ing the physical health of those who
know how to use it properly. Indeed
most people would be better off ply
sically II milk and entire wheat bread
formed their ordinary diet. Especially
is this true of delicate persons whose
powers of digestion have become en-
feebled. Persons suffering from nerv
Gus prostration are not able to digest
meat. and will find a purely milk diet
of the greatest benefit, provided they
imbibe 1t properly.
Horace Fletcher says that each
mouthful OF milk should be held In
the mouth long enough to enjoy the
chemical action OF the saliva before
swallowing.

therefore, presents a somewhat
mixed appearance, though the outlook
in the main is exceedingly bright.
The advance in cotton is in line
with the general tendency to higher
prices, due to the heavy gold output
and to the fact that the productin Of
commodities is increasing in equal
ratio to the consumptive demands of
