The Century is to publish during 1911 a
number OF papers, by writers of author
ity, covering trade conditions in different
countries. These articles are intended to
present not only facts of general interest
but also facts and figures of special in
terest and importance to business men.
The story OF How America Got Into
China" one of the most interesting and
important chapters in commercial his
tory, has been written for the January

HAS DONE ME MUCH GOOD"

Much good may it do you" exclaimed
old Scroggs to his nephew, meaning
Christmas, but not meaning good to
anyone. Much good it has ever done
YOU" To which the nephew replied:
There are many things from which I
might have derived good, by which l have
not protited l dare say Christmas among
the rest. But l am sure l have always
thought Of Christmas time, when 1t has
come round-apart from the veneration
due to its sacred name and origin, II
anything belonging 20 it can be apart
from that-as a good time, a kind, for
giving, charitable, pleasant time; the only
the year, when men and women seem by
one consent to open their shut-up hearts
freely, and to think of people below them
as II they really were fellow passengers
to the grave, and not another race of
people bound on other Journeys And
therefore, uncle, though 1t has never put
a scrap of gold or silver in my pocket,
believe that it has done me good, and will
do me good; and I say God bless it,"
That covers the whole ground, as la
as the older folks are concerned, and
really there is nothing more to be said.
But the childrenl
With nothing new under the sun, still
the JOY Of the Christmas season comes
each year to millions OF little folk who
for the first time are conscious Of the
happiness that surrounds them. The
lessons of the day have been drawn over
and over again, but they seem even more
beautiful to those who have watched the
procession OF the years.
This Is childrens day, and the eyes Of
the elders shine in a reflected light made
all the brighter because II comes back
from children's eyes. Merry Christmas
comes to all who have done their best to
make 1t merry for others. This is the
real lesson OF the day, and it can never
fail. because 1t is the lesson taught by
the great Teacher who always puts the
children in first place.-[Burlington News

o Little Town OF Bethlehem.
BY Phillips Brooks.

O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie;
Above thy deep and dreamlcss sleep
The silent stars 90 by.
Yet in thy dark street shineth
The everla sting Light;
The hopes and fears OF all the years
Are met in thee tonight
q morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth,
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
For Christ is born of Mary.
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep. the angels keep
Their watch OF wondering love.
How silently. how silently,
The wondrous Gift is given,
SO God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of his heaven
No ear may hear his coming;
But, in this world OF sin.
Where meek souls will receive him still,
The dear Christ enters in
Where children pure and happy
Pray to the blessed Child;
Where misery cries out to Thee,
Son of the mother mild:
Where charity stands watching,
And Faith holds wide the door,
The dark night wakes, the glory breaks,
And Christmas comes once more.
o Holy Child Of Bethlehem,
Descend on us we pray;
Cast out our sin and enter in;
Be born in us today
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tdings tell;
oh come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel!

Christmas

The stars that shine on Christmas night
Beyond all other stars are bright.
For in their brightness shines restored
The one great star whose light outpoured
Has led all nations to the Lord;
And all night long with solemn voice
They cry again: Rejoice! Rejoice!
The wonder of the Christmas dawn
No other morn has yet put on.
Oh, man white radiance, breaking slow
on field and woodland wrapped in snow
On the worn cities and their woe;
Oh, holy message breathed again!
Peace on earth. Good will toward men,
And now unto the new born King
Bring we our lowly Offering.
Lord, take ourselves, our hopes or fears
Lord, take ourselves, our hopes our fears
The harvest Of our troubled years;
We bring them all to Thee, to Thee,
And 10, once burdened, we are free

Christmas

Have you heard the Christmas music
Sounding over hill and plain2
Have you listened to the music
That should never come in vain2
Glory, praise and honor ever
Unto God who reigns above,
And to those on earth who journey
Peace, goodwill and bOundless love.
Have you seen the Christmas Holly
Flaming forth on every side?
Has your heart grown strangely lighter
For the green of Christmastide
Has it thrilled you with its message,
Glory to the Lord and King,
And goodwill to every brother2
This the tidings it should bring.
Have you caught the Christmas spirit
Waited by on every breeze2
Christ is born to rule forever,
Lord of earth and sky and seas.
Glory unto Him and honor
Now and evermore. Amen.
And throughout Christian Kingdom,
Peace on earth, goodwill to men.

HARD ROAD
MOVEMENT
PROGRESSES.
CONROY VISITS DAY1ONA
LOOKING over THE ROADS.
PRESIDE Vt OF JACKSONVILLE
BOARD OF TRADE AGREEABLY
SURPRISED AT CONDITIONS IN
THIS PART OF THE STATE.

The proposition to build a hard
surface road the entire length of the
East Coast, connecting with a splen-
did driveway all coast towns between
Jacksonville and Miami, is not an
idle dream but an idea that may soon
be turned into reality. This, it least,
is the belief of Francis P. Conroy,
president of the board of trade Of
Jacksonville, who has been pushing
the matter and drove his automobile
from Jacksonville to Daytona for the
purpose Of investigating conditions
along the way.
Mr.. Conroy expresses himself as
agreeably surprised and pleased with
The condition of the roads in this
part of the State. He says the
people II thesnorth part of the State
do not realize what beautiful city
country surrounds it, He believes
country surrounds it. He believes
that with hard surface road there
| would be many Jacksonville people
driving to Daytona every Sunday to
spend fhe day here and at the beach
He went over the roads between
this city and DeLand and New
| Smyrna ind says he is surprised that
we have such firss class roads for
automobiles. The roads all the way
through from Jacksonville are in
much better condition than he ex-
peCted to find them.
| Mr.. COnroy says the movement tC
| interest all of the towns along the
| East C0as- is growing and there is
more interest being taken in the mat
ter than the promoters had hoped fol
to start with. He says he purposes
to call convention to talk the mat
ter over and lay out plans and tha,
the m citing will probably be held
some time in February or March al
some convenient city on the East
Coast between Jacksonville and Mi
ami.
Mr.. Conroy was accompanied or
his trip here by his wife and son
Phillip, and Mr.. and Mrs. E. G.
Schwartz. The party is stopping a
the Prince George and will return Il
Jacksonville Tuesday.
