Blessed Spirit of Giving

Ihe true Christmas spirit is best typi- fled by that beautiful chorus of the an
 gels which so delighted and entranced the good shepherds on that first Christi mastlde these many centuries ago, "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to men of good will" That glory to God which induces us to give praise and thanksgiving to the Creator for Ills man. ifoid and countless blessings strowered upon us. That peace which banishes every ungenerous sentiment and thought. which separates our inherent selfishness from our very natures. if only for the time being, and which makes all work for the common good.

What Christmas Should
 Mean

 By Bishop Falows, presiding bishop of
 the Reformed Episcopal church for the
 United States and Canada.
 Christmas with it's angel voices calls upon men to recoginze each other as brothers sharing a common humanity, re- deemed and glorified by the son of Mary and the son of God.
 It means the abolishing of all forms of caste wherever found. It means equal and exact justice to the employer and employe alike. It means the end of all species of serfdom. It comes pleading eloquently for the unity of the church, whatever it's differences, under the su- preme leadership of the Lord Jesus Christ. It bids all dividing antagonisms to cease in the home, uniting in holiest bonds all it's members in marital, filial and fraternal love.
 It comes to soften all asperities In so- cial life, and all bitter animosities in po- litical life. It calls for international fel- lowship between the nations of the earth, the ending of all wars and the reign of universal and lasting peace.

England. In the thirteenth century. candles on a Towering tree were part of Christmas decoration in France.
 The church formerly forbade in some countries the use of Christmas green cry Mistletoe was forbidden in Eng land, because its use had come down from the druids.
 The Christmas tree as 1t is known today originated in Germany, being Erst definitely mentioned in Strasburg Tn lbo5. Its use did not spread to Eng land and France until about 1S4O, when it was introduced in the former by the Prince Consort, and the latter by Princess Helena of Mecklenberg.
 The gayly decorated Christmas tree Is now feature of the Christmas ceIe- bration in all Christian lands.

By Henry W. Longfellow. l heard the bells on Christmas Day TLeir old familiar carols play.

 And then she took all the animals out 1.-two by two,' and looked at them and then put them back and got busy writing the Mistletoe wreathed Christmas cards. To Lucy Peggy inscribed her "Undying love and devotion and to Lucy's husband a gift was sent with The best wishes of a most loving sister" and to the kids, a card conveyed sthe sentiment that the 'Noah's Ark and things were Prom their devoted Aunt Peggy"
 For her two sisters there were Christ mas things galore.

BEFORE AUDIENCE OF 10000 TAFT
DEFENDS TREATIES ROOSEVELT ATTACKED

HARTFORD, Sept. S.-President
Taft had a rousing reception when he
came to Hartford yesterday as the
guest OF Governor Baldwin and the
state officials and of the Connecticut
Fair Society, There was no trace Of
sulkiness from the grangers because
Of the reciprocity issue, and the Presi-
dent was greeted with laugh and a
cheer when he praised Connecticut.
The President in an address to an
audience of $4,000 persons pleaded elo-
quently for the adoption of the arbi-
tration treaties with France and Great
Britain. He said:
1T is well known that Norway and
Sweden have made an agreement 10
settle all differences except those of
vital interest and national honor by
submission to The Hague tribunal, and
they have further agreed that when
they differ as to whether the controv-
ersy arising is arbitrable under the
treaty to submit that question to the
board of arbitration.
