"AS YE DID UNTO THEM"

So he died, and they said unto him:
1T is written against you that you
needed not the sorrow and the want
OF them that were stricken in poverty
and suffered in illness and want"
And he said
That is unfair, for all my life long
noted especially tie suffering and
want of the poor. and not Christmas
went by that ! did rot say over and
over that was sorry for them No
one gave them more sympathy than l.
no one showed more commiseration
for them Why, lots of times
thought of them on cold winter
nights. and said to my friends that it
was too bad they had 20 endure pr
yations."
That is correct" they s;ua unto
him. Put it is written that you did
not materialize your sympathv-you
simply sympathized in words. and
words are not eaten, nor are they
worn, nor are they burned in stoves
So he was abashed, and stood silent
for a space. Then he said meekly:
And / must not come in?"
AS to that, they did not answer. but
they said again unto him
"Al those that you sympathized
with are here. and now they will sym.
pathize with you"

the church at O'Clock that evening.
and the tree viii be there"
So Lucy, seeming mystery, and too
diplomatic to ask anything more, was
compelled to content herself with that
much Information.
Towards dusk Of the day before
Christmas George was seen carrying
several bulky bundles into the church.
Mrs. Gillup had spent some time in
conference with him that day. The
seven rivals had attempted to quiz
Der. but she would not CRAFTY their
curiosity further than tn Gay that
there would be tree. They had asked
-separately-if she would hang
their presents for Lucy on the tree.
and she had agreed To do so.
She and George. behind the drawn
curtains of the church, labored long
with curtain poles and string and a
profusion OF green paper. to say moth
ing of several bundles of artificial
palms and the like. which George had
unearthed among his stock.
When the audience was assembled
for the Christmas eve exercises Mrs,
Gillup slowly drew back a curtain
which concealed one corner of the
room, and there, with candles glowing
and green paper and green palm
branches rustling, stood a Christmas
tree. 1t was not an evergreen tree.
Il was not a genuine FIR or cedar, but
it looked like a tree. And the candles
and the strings of popcorn and glitter
ing ornaments hid many of its faults.
To the surprise of Lucy. George was
not in sight. She looked all about for
him, in her delight. wishing to thank
him for his ingenious way of provid-
ing this make-believe tree for the lit
tie ones.
Mrs. Gillup went blithely on, taking
presents from the tree and distribut-
ing them After passing out the gifts
for the children she picked off pack
ages and bundles for the older folk
1t was noted that the tree sort of
shook every time she took off one of
the gifts which had been provided by
the seven rivals for Lucy. But at last
the final package had been disposed
Of Mrs. Gillup drew the curtain in
front of the tree again and the audi
ence filed out, laughing and chatting
over the success of the entertainment.

States School Probe is Precedent.

States School Probe Is Precedent.
Wisconsin in its invest cation of
rural school conditions has 1t a pre-
cedent which will be followed all over
the country and which will be looked
upon as one of the most progressive
things which this state has ever
done" said DR.. William Allen. head OF
the New York bureau of municipal
research, who spoke at the city H.
brary in Madison. Experts from Doc
tor Aliens bureau made the Wlscon-
sin investigation
Conditions in Wisconsins rural
schools are no worse than they are in
other states" he said. THE one thing
about Wisconsin. however, is that you
have realized that there are defects
and you are going ahead to correct
them. 1t is there that you are taking
an advance step.
Another thing you are demanding
is facts. This is In line with the &C
tion of the New York board of edu-
cation, which refused to accept the re
port Of Professor Morse after an in
yestigation, because he spoke In gen
eralities and not IN facts. This has
created much interest In educational
circles, and has set a precedent which
will be followed throughout the coun
try"
