The Mighty Founder.

The Christmas spirit is not only a spirit
of good will. but it is a spirit of service
and a spirit of sacrifice.
When We speak of sympathy service,
joy, love and praise. as constituting the
Christmas spirit, we do SO because these
graces are the things that the mighty
founder of Christmas day came into the
world to implant in the human soul
Whatever CT joy and gladness the
Christmas season brings to us, We should
not fail in tender and loving thoughts of
the one whose birthday is being cele-
brated, and the joy and gladness will be
increased The occasion should be com
,nemoration rather than a celebration
Whatever of sadness or gloom that sick
ness sorrow or adversely the season may
bring to us, all the more our thoughts
should turn to Him, that the sadness and
gloom may be lessened. He came as
the healer of sorrow. He was himself d
man of sorrow and acquainted with
grief. and sympathizes with us in our
troubles Whether joyful or mournful the
Christmas spirit il it prevail will prove
a blessing.
Joy is a fruit that will not grow
In natures barren soil;
All we can boast until Inflst we KNOW
Is vanity and toll
Rnt where the Lord has planted grace
And made His glortes known,
There fruits Of heavenly joy ard peace
Are found, and there alone.

of st. LuSe's Church. Bladensburg,
when Hyattsville was composed OF a
village of half n dozen houses. For
many years st. Luke's Church. which
still stands on Sand street, Bladens-
burg, was the parish church, but when
a majority of the communicates OF the
parish were compelled to travel from
Hyattsville to St. Luke's Pinkney Me-
mortal Church became a necessity.
During the past three or four years
the membership of the parish attend
ing Pinllney Memorial has increased to
such an extent that the vestry decided
to erect a new and larger edifice in
Hyattsviile to replace it. The new
church and parish hall is estimated
to cost within the neighborhood of
s1O,000, and. it is pointed out, will be
an ornament to the town and a monu-
ment to the enterprise of the vestry.
Rev Henry Thomas, we'll known
throughout the diocese of Washington,
is rector of St. Matthew's parish, and
in addition to his work at Pinkney
Memorial Church divides what time
he has left between st. Luke's, in Bla-
densburg, and st. Johns. IN Mount

Decline of Ieprosp.

~ HE census of 1881 reported 81, 61S
" lepers in India; that of 1901 81 $40,
and the gratifying decrease has con-
tinued steadily. There were segregated
in mission asylunls 1898 lepers in 1887,
and 6.S35 in 1910. The Mission to Lepers
In India and the East, founded in 1874,
supported eleven asylums containing 500
lepers in India i'm 1894. In 1911 the
asylums numbered forty-two and the
lepers 3,7SS. while the twenty-one homes
for the untainted children of leprous par
ents contained about 500 boys and girls.
The fate of the leper in india is
pitiable He is turned out of caste, and
to the loss of all property are added
great indignities in the case Of the rich
sufferer In early days of the lepers
were buried alive in the superstitious
belief that it insured against the spread
ing OF the disease to other members Of
the family.
The three barbarous acts forbidden at
once when in 1916 the Punjab was
taken over by the British. were the burn
ing of widows. the killing of newborn
daughters and the burying alive OF
lepers While no lepers are now being
buried alive, their lot is still one of
unmitigated misery, especially since their
creed teaches them that their affection
is curse from their gods
The enforcement of the lepers act
and the compulsory segregation of pauper
lepers in Christian asylums is bless
ing to the lepers themselves who find
there not only shelter but Christian SYM
pathy and love, and taste spiritual JOY
and eternal hope.

self-denial is now proposed 10 NEE, this
great need.
The emphasis is put upon prayer. II j.
not to be simply money-seeklES occs-
sion, but an effort to reach the heart -
the church and stir up spirit OF prayer
on behalf of the workers.
The need was so great in the various
fields that twenty new missionaries were
urgently asked for last year. When the
income was calculated IL was found that
IL only justified the sending OF three.
This leaves seventeen vacancies where
men are sorely needed.
Facing this and after much prayer and
hours of earnest counsel together, tho
secretaries were led to ask the church To
give this week of prayer and Self-deniai
for this purpose. Should the hundreds OF
thousands of Methodists throughout the
southland fan into the plan il Will un-
doubtedly mean the solution Of the prob
lem that the mission secretaries are
cent week-would mean Very little self
denial TO many, and yet should only the
minority of Southern Methodists do even
this much what great things might be
made possible for the work of the Master.
This need on the part of the Methodists
is paralleled in other denominations.
There has recently come from Baptists
in the foreign field urgent request for
thirty new missionaries to meet the in
Presbyterians. through their secretaries,
are sending out stirring appeals to their
people, and the same may be said or
other denominations. The rapid expan-
sion of the work in practically all for
eign fields calls for heroic effort on the
part of the church at home to meet the
increasing demands.

The Christmas Spirit.

1t is sweeping over all the earth,
through all the habitations of men, swift
err far than reindeers travel Listen. chill
dren, aye young and old, listen. 1t is not
the sleigh bells you hear, but the bells OF
hope and promise, ringing in the chambers
of your soul. Over ali the mountains,
hills and plains the embodiment of love
and good will is flying.
Away, noiseless as the travel of a
star. it passes through the valley, on the
height by the heath, by the meadow,
across the rivers and oceans, over the
islands of the sea, and through every
channel of human life-everywhere leay-
ing some gift, some token or some mes
sage to waiting and willing hearts. And
whatever it leaves speaks for Il higher,
purer and nobler life and pleads for the
supremacy in all hearts OF the glorious
trinity of Faith, Hope and Love.

~ WEEK of prayer and self-denial is
VI proposed by the mission secre-
~ taries of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, for January ill. 1t will
be remembered that this is the time for
the week of prayer to be generally OBJ
served throughout the churches.
The specific object of the special period
of prayer and self-denial on the part of
the Southern Methodists Is to secure
enough money to send out twenty new
missionaries. This church has $50 mis-
sionaries-men and women-in the various
fields.
For the past fifteen years the regular
ficient to keep up this force of mission
aries, and the lack of new missionaries
has been keenly felt. not only to meet
the constant expansion of the work, but
TO supply the natural losses from sick
ness and death. During this week the
offerings will be entirely voluntary.
In their general call for this week of
prayer and self-denial the secretaries say
that in this lack of new missionaries the
evangelistic phase of the work has suf-
fered more than any other and that the
loss has been both in not being able to
meet enlarged opportunities in the evan
gelistic field and also in the overstrain
and frequent breakdowns among the
missionaries, who are trying to do more
work than the meager force is capable
of doing. Hence it is both cruel and
wasteful, and the week Of prayer and

Childhood Memories.

The mind of the little child is deeply
stirred and excited at the appearance of
Santa Claus-a sense of awe, sometimes
of fear, is aroused and the feeble mind
struggles with a great thought-mystery
and reality are blended.
The reindeers and their marvellous jour-
news over house tops. and the startling
appearance through the chimney to the
hanging stockings are for time intensely
and joyously real AS the child grows
older he gradually loses from his mind
the reality of the RENDERS and the jim

that generous hands, noble impulses and

brought forth as the representative of the
thought.
Some people do not believe in Santa
Claus and say it is wrong to have rep
reservations of this parsonage in the
Christmas festivities in church.
For my part I believe in Santa Claus
and am very fond of him-not in just the
same way that 1 was when child, but
now because of the idea he embodies.
Fairy Stories.
Not only literature, but the heart is
enriched by the stories of genii and
fairies, in which are taught some of the
noblest truths of generosity and love.
The sweetest and tenderest memories
of childhood are from the belief in a
mysterious power, which with prodigal
hand rears enchanted castles and adorns
them with jewels and gems of rarest
beauty and priceless value.
From whence came Santa CLAUSE
Did not the conception arise from the
sublime truth that there is a mysterious
q far more generous hand than is sug-
gested by the deeds recorded OF the
mythical beings in the fairy world? But
for the thought of the existence of some
omnipotence over all realms there would
never have been the thought of genii or
Aladdin's lamp.
Santa Claus is real-not in the form in
which he appears to the eye, old. wrinkled
and grizzled, but in the idea of love. SYM
patty and beneficence, from which he
had his birth and will ever have his be-
ing.
