ware the soul would presently be face to face with it's need of joy. A paradox, maybe-but in the nature of things it seems as though Spirit is no winged thing at birth, but must live for space in the corridors of Effort ere strength comes for far flights.
 All of the song and prose writers who have known any great applause for their doings yesterday or today, have had somewhat to say of the sound ethic ap- peal of work. Strenuosity, let us be glad, is not encouraged by those fine folk who make readable verse and essays for us to read. Rather the appeal is to do things and be glad in the doing-or, better. do things, and the gladness will be tributary.
 Yet there need be no far journeys into literature to be inspirited to the ultimate reward of work. Whoever at days end feels that his spending of the day was sincere--whether the hours were spent in hod-bearing or temple-building- needs no glimpse into libraries to un- derstand the nobility of work, whatever that work may be, so it be clean and honorable. Effort which burdens and bows and makes the brain falter is a bit ter business and should be bounded ont of the world. To abuse the great work privilege is nearly as bad as to be lazy, condition which is nearly beyond the

Let us be busy for all time, even though untried tasks obscure the horizon. There is much to be done, and the chain of dependency must not be broken. When we grow rusty and unfit, then may we ask that our undesirable link be carried back to the Forge and remoulded in some glad new way. At all hazards the link must hold till then. It is worth while.
 There is but one conclusion for us, my children; and to this conclusion all of the races must come in the long run. We must leave off hating and swindling. We must be after regaining those lost, strong, building selves of us that com petition, stress of living, poverty have nearly driven to the vanishing point What shall our work avail-to what end will our building tend, if it drifts into a sort of half-hearted remembering of the decencies; a sort of dispirited tagging at the beginning of a century where great human deeds should be justified? (Does this ring stagey and trite?) What are we building Birmingham for? What is the purport of sky-scrapers? What of a quarter-million population if an eighth million of these go unwashed-a six teenth million, say, hungry and poorly clad? Answer me that

THE SONGS OF CF1RISTMASTlDE-By Dr. W. E. Evans

It sounded like the music of the angels, and when I fell into sleep it was to dream of the long ago ages, when all over Eu- rope the singing of this ancient carol was customary, in castle and cabin.
 There are some hymns that we look for at Christmas just as certainly as We look for the Feast of the Nativity itself. Did we not hear them there would be a dis tinct sense of loss. We have come to as- sociate them with the gladness of the church year as it celebrates the birth of Jesus, and have come to expect them as surely as we expect to be reminded of the song the angels sang: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace to men of good Will."
 Two or three of these hymns mention. In the Liturical churches during Advent the great hymns, Gloria in Excelsis, and the Te Deum are not sung; but on Christi mas day they ring out with triumphan. tones of gladness. They form the climax of praise. These old, old hymns are all ways greeted as new. Nobody ever tires of them, and though not conscious of memoRizing them, everybody knows them. The Te Deum has been sung since rho fourth century, perhaps. I was present at a non-liturgieal service some time ago, where they sang the Te Deum at night, however.
 Another song for which we look at Christmastide ,is "Adeste Fideles." This
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-12-24

hymn. Its metaphors and various fig ures of speech are of the sublimest char acter. while it's flights of imagination are of the loftiest nature.
 If the reader has not chanced to read Mrs. Elizabeth Brownings poem called 'The Virgin Mary to the Child Jesus" let him turn to it at once. It is equal, if not superior, to anything that ever came from her pen. It is a, Christmas poem of the most exalted character, exceeding as I think anything written on this subject since Milton. The 10th stanza reads: "Art thou King, then? Come His uni
 verse,
 Come, crown Him King! Pluck rays from all such stars as never
 fling
 Their light where fell a curse, And make q crowning for this kingly
 brow
 What is my word? Each empyreal star Sits in a sphere afar
 Tn shining ambuscade; The child-brow, crowned by none, Keeps its unchildhood shade. Sleep, sleep, my crownless One.'
 At very early time it was the custom for church choirs, and often the clergy of the parish, to go from house to house and sing the Christmas carols on the night before Christmas. One of the favorite carols was "NoeL" a word that comes
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-12-24

TT is most appropriate that jubilant
 songs engage the mind and heart of \ Christendom at the opening, and dur ing the continuance of Christmastide. The angels sang when they announced the birth of Jesus, and eyer since the world came to appreciate the miraculous birth and the meaning of the life of Jesus, it has been praising him. Especially on what men have been pleased to call the anniversary of His birth have carols, songs, and hymns been offered as the gold, incense and myrrh of sincere hearts. In the early ages the carols used during the Christmastide were of most quaint nature as we read them now; but as It, erature generally became more and more refined and as poets came to bring their best compositions to the manager of the Christ child, the world came to look for some of the sweetest sacred lyrics among those dedicated to the day on which Jesus was born.
 The most beautiful ode that Milton ever wrote was that which begins with an ac- count of the Nativity of Christ, and in which is included the hymn beginning:
 ''It was the winter wild.'
 The extraordinary beauty of this sublime hymn is somewhat lost to us by our fa- miliarity with it; but could we now read 1t for the first time we would pause and wonder at the matchless beauty of the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-12-24

The silent stars go by;
 Yet, in thy dark streets shineth
 The everlasting Light:
 The hopes and fears of all the years, Are met in thee tonight"
 But, I must close this sketch, for. o, how numerous are the glorious hymns that we love to hear especially at Christi mas. I could call them up by the score. Many of them are associated with the bappiest hours of our childhood. They remind us of a happy family circle that was broken up long ago; of dear voices that shall be heard no more; of many whose loving '.merry Christmas is silent now and will be heard no more. Yer, Christmas still comes. If I may not use the old formular in addressing those who have gone. I may still say with a sincere heart to all who read these lines, Merry Christmas,'
 If a lover of poetry should be reading these lines, beg to refer him to the fol- lowing poetry, to read during the Christi mastide should he be detained in his room by sickness. It will serve to bring Christmas joys, red holly berries, fra grant fir and cedar, and the sweet atmos- phere of the happy season into the room. recommend Longfellow's Golden Le- gend," Whittier's "A Christian Carmen,' Margaret Sangster's "Christmastide.

the present writer sees how the success of these proposals wholly depends on a something that cannot be put into pro- posals, the willingness to weigh all inter ests" and "honor' in the scales of justice. Let us have done with our hypocrisies. Let us quit the endless task of honoring God by the worship of dollars. He who is ''the God and and Father of our Lord Jesus Christi is no national deity, with a favoring eye on big liars or big war ships. Into the heart of the unjust He has already put the counsels of deceit, lying spirit among their prophets. But 1t would be self-defeating for us to turn swords into -ploughshares or navies into the junkyard until this lying spirit is cx- orcised in the sight of the whole worlds democracy. The cure of hypocrisy, the cure of radical injustice, the international healing of mankinds whole suspicious, tkeving and rapacious heart; that is the problem of the 'peacemakers. By saying, ''Go to! Let us have peace. Let us be joyful, joyful, joyful! Let us reason to- gether and establish court" we simply engage in a more or less insincere prophe-
 
 general conscience But in the meanwhile it is the church that holds the key the real secret. And the name of the key is justice. But justice for export only is. not justice.
 Hence peace on earth comes back at last to most familiar region. Hoary and common and familiar indeed are the forms of injustice among men, You have these forms in the deadly contrasts of wealth and poverty, the inequality of dis tribution the common consent to these contrasts as inevitable. But it ought to be self-evident that no nation will succeed as "a peacemaker until 1t is broadly will ing to establish social peace at all costs
 This, it may be said, swings back at last to mere truism. Jesus, born to be Prince of Peace, Giver of concord, Master of the heart of mankind. and Elder Brother of the race,t only sought to bring in an epoch of peace through the establishment of peace In the heart of the individual con- vert. Conversion is a surrender of the state of war. the battling and the rest lessness of self-interest, to His dear keep ing, and to His law and art of sacrifice.

reach of pardon. There may be reasons for gearing the human machine past it's capacity; there can be none, however, for failure to keep it in prime running order always making allowance for what it was in the making .....
 Clear-hearted philosopher is he who can see In the unit-working parts of a loco motive, and the entire dependence and cooperation of each with each, lesson higher than the lessons of eloquence or sermons may teach-that of dependency. And there is no parasitcal lessoning here surely; for we are lessoned in a desire for activity, remembering the common chain which binds all mankind. For even as your path mayhap may lead in higher places, so shall the link which binds the feeble ones to you be elevated likewise. The lesson of work-dependency if learn ed alright will comfort the wearest and calm the fercest ones; will be a vantage knowledge alike to those who grope and to those who soar. No matter if the crudest, most thankless task be ours to do, we are yet a part of the long chain which joins alike pauper and king, peas ant and millionaire. Though our work be in wind-swept desolation. it is worth while if it but serve as an example of work-worship to others who do not know the great passion for doing things.

Under the New Regime

From Puck
 I entered one of the gold-plated, cut glass caravansaries known as modern hair-cutting emporium. It was pleasantly located on good sunken farmland, oc- cupying an acre or so underneath one of our first-cless hotels. A boy in the cos tune of a Swiss Imperial Guard came for ward and took my hat. The proprietor asked me what I wanted done. 4 q should like to get my hair cut.''
 I was ushered into an antiseptic chair, while an antiseptic individual with sim ister aspect threw over me a Woodlawn cemetery shrowd. Then he took from a glass instrument case a pair of shears, clipping machine and tortoise shell comb.
 Being in communicative mood. said pleasantly:
 "Its nice day for this time of year."
 .'It looked like rain yesterday. and I thought 1t would"
 
 'The reservoirs need it, anyway. Can't have too much rain for them."
 
 If there wasn't so much graft about we would have our reservoirs made long before they were needed
 At this point I was rudely-as thought interrupted by tap on the shoulder. The barber suspended operations A tall. grave man stood over me. recognized him as the proprietor of the emporium.
 Pardon me, sirr he said sternly, "but you are disturbing the artist at his work. No talking, please!''
