of our duty to our peighbor In regard
10 questions touching the general vel

that faith by which mountains can be

When they saw the star they re-
joiced with exceeding great JOY"
For men in banked cabins in the arc
tic SHOWS and men in the wind beaten
ships on remote seas, for men in tropic
jungles and men in forgotten wastes,
this day is Christmas. We who spend
the day in the friendly security of cit
les and draw about us the familiar In
timacies of home and daily friendships
are apt to forget the wonder OF this,
and the significance. But whether they
realize it or not, men draw together
during these hours. And this Is to
follow the star the wise men saw over
Bethlehem.
Christmas for most Of us is given to
the closest of ties and the spirit of 1t
is only a warmer glow of we'll used af.
fections But the deepest and might
est things are the nearest. and in the
heart of this day is the hope of the
race. Two thousand years ago there
was one who spoke from mountain.
His message was the brotherhood OF
all men. AuOluS1 LILLY aC odio dLl
the way, the truth, and the life" To
day men follow the way though they
do not know, and obey the truth
though they do not see. and live the
life though they are unconscious of its
pulse beat through the world. For the
way is the way of the race marching
painfully 10 its far goal.
The life Of the individual and the
lives Of nations are. borne upon the
bosom of a great tide. Wise men call
1t by different names, but no man
lives effectually save in It's full cur.
rent Whether we state 1t in terms
of religion. or OF philosophy. or pol.

At Christmas time we celebrate the
birthday of our King. The wise men
came from the far east, attracted by
the light of the star, to find and wor-
ship the King. This blessed day is
lighted by star that ought to at
tract our attention and lead us in the
same direction and to the same end.
This time of music and glad festivities
should lay especial emphasis on the
kinship of Jesus of Nazareth. 1t is
our privilege to see, in the Babe of
Bethlehem. the King of kings and
Lord of lords. That vision should be
more clear to us than to the wise
men Of old. They, had none OF the
helps that quicken our eyesight. We
may remember the life he lived, the
work he did, the sacrifice he made.
and the influence he has exerted and
is exerting to this very hour
Never man spake like this man."
concerning God. man, sin. life, death,
truth. immortality. and "the vast for
ever" He has drawn the intellect of
the world to himself.
His ideals have inspired civilizations
and turned the currents of history into
new channels. He has compelled the
world to accept his ideas of greatness
and the value Of human life. He has
drawn the art of the world to him
self. for the greatest paintings of the
ages reflect his glory. He has drawn
the music of the world to himself. for
the, mighty masterpieces OF this realm
tell the story of his work and In
fuence. He has drawn the thought
of the world to himself. for there
never was one about whom so many
books have been written. His life
and words have been the inspiration of
the modern altruism that Is. doing so
much to lift humanity to higher and
better levels. He is rapidly draw
ing the heart Of the world to himself
lis drawing the lives of men tc
himself.
He shall reign, king Of kings and
Lord of lords" Because he humbled
himself and made himself of no repu.
tation. and took on him the form of
servant, and became obedient unto
death, even the death of the cross.
therefore God hath highly exalted him
and given him a:name that Is above
every name. If we will not crown him
Lord Of all in our hearts here. we
shall yet be called upon to crown him
King of eternity. Let us crown the
Christ Child our King in the here and
now.

Keeping Christmas Joy
.@.h

Christmas is day Of Joy, but Joy
should not be allowed to die out of our
lives next morning. 1t should stay
with us ever after. We should sing
the Christmas songs all the new year.
We should carry the peace of God in
our hearts continually hereafter. We
should learn from this time to find the
beauty and the good will in all things.
and to show the world that we believe
what we say we believe-that since
God loves us, and Jesus Christ is our
friend, "all's well with the world"
They who receive and tell of Gods
unspeakable gift of Christ as a Re.
deemer may carry the gladdest sort Of
Christmas around with them all the
year In their hearts.

Tribute to Painters Skill.

One of the still life paintings by
Jan van Huysen in.. the museum at
The Hague was recently injured, but
it is believed the perpetrator was
neither vandal nor thief.
The picture represents basket OF
fruit on which a number Of insects
have gathered. On pale yellow ap-
pie, which is the centerpiece in the
cluster OF fruit, is a large fly, painted
so true to nature. so say the officials
of the gallery, that the canvas was
injured by some one who enieavored
to "shoo" it and brought his cane or
hand too close to the canvas. "A
tribute to the painters genius" says
the letter recording the fact, "for which
the work had to suffer"

EAGER TO WORK.
Health Regained by Right Food.

The average healthy man or woman
is usually eager to be busy at some
useful task or employment.
But let dyspepsia or indigestion get
hold of one, and all endeavor becomes
a burden.

an operation" writes Michigan lady,
"my stomach and nerves began to give
me much trouble.
