"Nor doth the great King regard one rift above another, so long as all pc white. And so, do they keep the king birthday"
 Isn't that a. beautiful thought? It IS the keynote of the Christmas celebration today in many of the churches and so will bring comfort to many weary souis to whom only the material side or the day with its doubts and fears, the bangs mel dent to fear of the sin of omission or the knowledge of incapacity-has as yet maas sts anpearance. The white Christmas ,,.Iahration this afternoon at the Southslde Baptist church will be elaborate anu heautiful, The hour Is o'clock; there VIII re no service during the evening" the programme this afternoon following tie one of the morning, when hhniper ol annropriate musical selections are 10 pc nresented, making a sweet and appropr4- ate climax for the holy day so close to .h. holiday which many of us are in clined to forget is also a religious cere- monial.
 The Southside Baptist church Will be a truly beautiful place for the programme this afternoon Its ivory walls and hlgh' domed ceiling, its marble altar and It's dark pews will be beautiful in the bright lights which will shine on the great white cross erected for tho day. Ihe trees on which the white gifts are placed will be surrounded with the tributes of service and self denial which are, fiGu- ratively, to be laid at the feet of the Lord.
 Miss Annie l.. Williams will tell the legend of Cathay. that exquisite story which is the inspiration of the White Feast. It is the story of "a strange country called Cathay, and the ruler thereof" so runs the legend, "is one hllb- Iah Khan, mighty warrior who, by reason of his strong will and trusty sword, has made himself lord of the whole land. His government is both wise and just, and is administered for rich aud poor alike, without fear or favor.
 On the kings birthday the people ob- serve what is called the White Feast Then are the king and his court assem- bled in a great room of the palace which is all white, the floor of marble and the walls hung with curtains of white silk. All are in white apparel and they offer unto the king white gifts to show that their love and loyalty are without etain. The rich bring to their lord pearls, carv- Jngs of white ivory and costly embroidered

Allison Low enthals suit was blue satin with white trimmings, as a handsome Lord Faunt- leroy. Dudley Fitt5 was Little Boy Blue and Leo Steiner and Berney Steiner appeared as cowboys, looking very wild and western in their rough rider suits

 The children of the Sunday school are | to be the participants in the exercises
 so the spirit of the best and truest Christi mas day is presented to the community through them. The story that Miss Will Hams will tell and the preparation of their minds and hearts through the influ- ence of Dr. Preston Blake, pastor 9f the church, will give many young person l in the community a real appreciation of the meaning of Christmas-for through these mediums they receive the idea thai 1t is the spirit of the gift that makes it white"
 It is a really beautiful idea, this estab- lishment of the white Christmas" and there is an indication that with the rol- licking spirit of the times and the ex change of Christmas souvenirs the day will assume a deeper, sweeter, more beau tiful meaning. The children of the schools last Sunday, and the grownups, too, re- reived slips on which were inscribed white gift suggestions. Among them,
 tillS udy dtttpl JtSuo CD iitJ Saviour and give myself wholly to Him. As a Christian I this day renew by con- secration to Christi"
 My service. (Every one hath his proper gift)-"Attend services when practicable morning and evening. Invite another to attend each service. Visit the sick and strangers and report to the pastor. Well come strangers and new members to the church services. Serve, when assigned a 1tffxr meeting regularly. Assist in prayer and testimony. Invite some one to Christ each week. Cooperate with the pastor in prayer and personal appeal during evan gelical services. Become an active work CT in one of the missionary or other so- cieties of the church."
 These and many other suggestions, ap- plicable to work in the Sunday school CT in church or in the young peoples so- ciety, the giving, either of service or of substance are presented and space left for checking as many as the recipient is willing to undertake. So in practical fash ion the giving of what gifts one has is to be a leading feature in the service today.
 Mrs Davids, organist for the church, has prepared a musical service for both morning and afternoon that will be in keeping with the solemn beauty of the occasion. ii This morning the service will be opened with an organ prelude which is a fayoIite Christmas pastoral, by Merlxel.

All were full of the gayety and joys of the approaching Christmas day; it's brightness and promise made their feet very light and as their pliant little bodies have be- come the embodiment of grace under the tuition of their talented instructor the dance made really charming spectacle.
 Beside the german. a number of new dances were presented the children ex- ecuting the new mazurka, the Ostend and the aviation dance as easily. ap- parently, as the two step and waltz.
