Each Christmas witnesses some ad-

whatever may be said to the contrary,
the world is steadily improving. Nations
are drawn into close association with
each other as they come under the in.
Auence of Christian civilization. They
may-still be armed to the teeth, but
they do not fly at each others threats so
readily as they did in former days. A
few diplomats sitting together and
amicably arranging arbitration treaties
now take the piece of generals and
armies. And the work, when 1t is done,
leaves no sad memories iof slaughtered
men, wasted countries, broken hearts
and untold misery.
