dictory reports have been issued regard
ing the nature and extent of. the
Kaisers illness that the public is be-
coming alarmed
The Berlin correspondent Of the Lon
don Telegraph today wired his paper
as follows:
when a responsible department con-
tradicts itself in such a manner, 1t is
not surprising that the official state
rhents regarding the Kaiser's health are
received with considerable suspicion"
The apprehension of the public will
undoubtedly continue until the Kaiser
resumes his public appearances. All the
Kaiser's immediate engagements have
been Cancelled. II is still insisted that

Pupils Discuss Taft's
Letter on Temperance

Sunday school teachers and pupils are
discussing today the letter on temper
ance written by President Taft Decem-
ber %. 1910, and read in practically all
the Sunday schools of Washington and
in many throughout the United States
yesterday. The letter reads:
The excessive use of intoxicating
liquors is the cause OF a great deal of
the poverty, degradation. and crime OF
the world, and one who abstains from
the use of liquor avoids a dangerous
temptation. Abraham Lincoln showed
that he believed this in writing out for
his boy friends the pledge of total alb
stinence so often quoted. Each per-
son must determine for himself the
course he will take in reference to his
tastes and appetites, but those who ex-
ercise the self-restraint to avoid alto
gether the temptation of alcoholic liquor
are on the safer and wiser side"

the shepherds. better than even the disciples of our Lord For we see at tEis late date the partial and the signs of the complete fulhllment of these words.
 Every Christmas brings us nearer this grand consummation. Christina $ does indeed bring joy to --ankind. It coes bring peace on earth and good will toward men, It brings brief respite from our usual selffiShnesS and isolation truce for the moment to the hostilities incurred in the tremen- dous struggles of life. Alas that it should be only at Christmas, a brief spasmodic effort, and then weak hu- man nature falls bacl, again into the tenor of it's worldly and selfish ways
 In spite of this, let us love and cherish this blessed season, for it is a yearly reminder of what we can do fulfillment yet to come. Let us keen Christmas until the world shall ask in earnest. Why cannot we have the spirit of Christmas with us all the tlmeg
 Christmas stands for the incarnation. The Infinite God enters into human life. He comes near to us. He be- comes one with us. This reality is so splendid. so mysterious. so incompre- hensible that our dull senses cannot see it and feel it as the angel observ- CTS saw and felt 1t.
 Our modern universe which has been so wonderfully extended in time and space for us needs the message of the tkis truth to offset the dead weight of matter and impersonal force which apparently seems deaf to mans aspira- tions and ideals.
 The incarnation teaches us. as noth ing else does or can, that this is God s world. It reveals as nothing else can or does the love of God-not merely his power or wisdom. but his heart
