CHRISTMAS.

The approach of Christmas sug-
gests the thought that we have
strayed far away in our celebration
of the day from the spirit that ought
to characterize the anniversary OF a
festival of such a sacred nature.
That men should make gluttOns OF
themselves in eating and drinking
in memory of the birth Of Him who
came to save the world from sin, is
repugnant to the teachings of the
Christian religion and a reproach to
our civilization. Such q time should
be a season for rejoicing. There
should be rejoicing and love-abound-
ing-love towards all mankind-in
every heart. The day commence
rates the date of Gods greatest gift
to mankind, the dawn of a new era
in the world-an era of love and OF
service, and the prostitution of such
a festival by a carousal, by the indul-
gence Of our worst passions, is a re-
proach upon a nation called Christian.
A day of joy, of remembrance, OF
love and of service should be utilized
as Il fitting occasion for the giving OF
happiness to others. We may not
be able to give gifts of commercial
value, but q kind word, an uplifting
thought or a kindly smile is ofttimes
of more value than precious jewels.
"Kind Words are more than cor
onets."
TO the children especially, should
our attitude be one of loving for
bearance and of brightness and joy.
The sacred memories that cluster
around the celebration of Christmas
day at the fresides of happy homes
often linger in the minds of men
whensall other impressions have fad
ed far into the past. Let us then see
that we take advantage of this time
to impress upon the little ones right
ideas of a proper observance OF
Christmas. Let us teach them that
the mission of Him whose birth we
celebrate was one of service and OF
sacrifce-that the highest develop
ment of character is to be attained
only by sacrifice and thatthe greatest
joy can come only from service.
"Peace on earth, good will tomen''
can come only through loving for
bearance and he who fails to teach
this, by example as we'll as precept,
has NJ clear conception of his duty
to mankind.
There are many ways in which all
of us might add joy and cheer to
some lonely, neglected one. They
may not need u gifts of money.
but a word of greeting from a kindly
heart may be highly priced. None
of us is SO poor that we cannot give
such a gift and none of Us is so rich
as to despise the increase resulting
from bestowing such a gift.

OF COMMON
COLDS.

Ever since the influenza epidemic
of1SS9-9O we have experienced waves
of infectious catarrhal colds which
have been spoken of as influenza, or
grip, or simply as colds. To these
infections the infant seems to be espe-
cially susceptible. When one of
these colds invades a household, sew
eral of its members usually contract
it. While some adults may escape,
the baby or tine child of runabout age
is almost invariably affected. These
infections spread rapidly and with
great certainty through the wards of
institutions caring for young chill
dren. During recent winters in one
institution the sickness from this
source has far exceeded that from all
other infectious diseases of childhood.
One of the most important results is
it's interference with nutrition. This
is of somewhat less Importance
among children of runabout age, but
in any group of bottle-fed infants
such infection not only prevents gain
but is, as a rule, accompanied by def
mite loss in weight. We are too
prone to look on..these colds as local
affections when they are, in reality,
infectious.
When agroup of children in a fam
lily become infected, we often see es-
tablished a house infection with, at
intervals, recurrent outbreaks, which
may eXtendovera number ofmonths,
until the advent of warm weather or
the departure of the family to the
country. This experience is 81 gen.
eral in New York as to be a matter
of common report among parents.
Some susceptible children are kept
free only by continued residence in
the country, but unfortunately sub
urban colonies and country towns
have their own share of infectious
epidemics.
The amount of injury done young
children each year by such colds can
scarcely be estimated. During the
prevalence of such colds, thu posi-
bilities of infection are excellent if
the young child travels by train,
rides in public conveyances or is tax
en- to hotels or crowded shops.
Only recently, says DR.. Thomas S.
Southworth of Boston, in a recent Is
sue of The Journal of the American
Medical Association, have we begun

1t was gratifying to note the inter-
est which this convention manifested
in the cotton mill people-the people
who toll and spin that the world may
be clothed - interested as brothers
who would uplift and eXhalt an ele-
ment of our population from the neg
lect of whom we are now suffering.
In this field lies the most fruitful har-
vest for the evangelical and instr,:r-
tiOnal work of our Christian churches,
and upon how well this duty is per-
formed is wrapped up more of the
veal or woe of our commonwealth
than in any other problem of our
time. Tact, and faith, and courage,
and perseverance, and religion. and
money will be necessary, but signs
are no wanting that South Carolina is
becoming aroused on this subject, and
once aroused the sinews of war will
soon be forthcoming.
