abound in euphenisms of the kind.

Edible Flowers of Butter Trees.

BY far the most remarkable of edi-
Bile flowers is that culled from the but
ter tree of India. The blossoms of this
singular tree are the chief means of
subsistence with the Bills and other
Indian hill tribes. An average tree
yields from 200 to $50 pounds of pulpy,
bell shaped flowers that, when they
drop off during March and April. the
hot months of the Indian year. are
eagerly gathered by the natives. They
have when fresh a peculiar and lus-
cious taste, but the fragrance of them
is not pleasant and is best and most
briefly described as 'mousy." Usually
they are cured in the sun. shrivel to
one-fourth of their size and then re
sembe nothing so much as raisins.
The natives prepare them for food by
boiling or using them in sweetmeats.-

A CHRISTMAS HYMN

No tramp of marching armies,
No banners flaming far;
A lump within a stable
And in the sky star.
Their hymns of peace and gladness
To earth the angels brought;
Their Gloria In Excelsis''
To earth the angels taught.
When in the lowly manger
The holy mother-maid,
In tender alteration
Her Babe of Heaven laid.
Born lowly in the darkness.
And none so, poor as he.
The little children of the poor
His very own shall be.
No rush of hostile ,armies,.sss.ss
But just the budding sheep. w
The angels singing of the Christ,
And all the world asleep.
No fame of conquering banners,
No legions sent afar;
A lamp within stable,
And in the sky a star.

LovE-cHARITY

Though | speak with the tongues
of men and of angels, and have not
charity, | am become as sounding
brass. and a tingling cymbal.'
We heard two sermons preached re-
Gently from the above text and in
both instances the able devines said
! that love" should have been substi-
tuted for the word charity by the
! bible translators.
We confess, however, to fondness
for this word charity and are sincere
ly glad that the good and wise trans
lators of the bible did not adopt any
other word for it.
1t seems to us that it has larger,
broader and fuller meaning than the
word love, and conveys exactly the
meaning the translators sought to
emphasize by it.
And though have the gift of pro-
phesy, and understand all mysteries
and all Knowledge, and though have
faith SO that | could remove noun
tains, and have not charity, l am
nothing"
So it does not refer to an entellect-
uality SO great as to explore all mys-
teries, or faith so simple, pure and
strong that before it mountains of sin
and unbelief must disappear.
'And though bestow all my goods
to feed the poor, and though give my
body to be burned, and have not char
ity, it profiteth me nothing"
So the text does not refer to aims
giving. nor self-sacrince. pleasing and
noble as these deeds are. aa s.s
The entire chapter is devoted 10
explaining and extolling it and car
ries it far, beyond the meaning of the
word love. ~ IL f9f s
Love is sometimes selfish, some-
times sordid, often intolerant, but
charity never is. - sf, -
We love the true, the beautiful, tia
noble and the good. We cannot love,
the ugly and the unlovely. Here is-
where charity steps in and smooths
out the wrinkled places and the mar
red spots and covers the whole with
its mantel. saes q
Charity considers mans conditions
and environments, the temptations
which beset him on every side and
are constantly getting in his pathway
and causing him to stumble and to
fall.
Charity takes notice of his weak
nesses, his limitations and his liabili-
ty to err. 50
Love exalts and glorifes-charity
condones, .forgets and forgives.
Charity is tolerant of false dostrines
and false creeds and false conduct in
weak, erring, sinful, human nature.
Let us be thankful that God places
charity high above all other virtues.
No other virtue that can be exer-
cised by human beings is compare
BILE to it.
Let us on this Christmas morning
love our neighbor and towards him
exercise the virtue of charity.

LIFE's PLEASURES

The following poem was written t,
charming Ocala girl, whose chic
aim is in making others happy, ant
it is especially appropriate at thi!
season:
Did you ever have a feeling, wher
you went to bed at night,
That you had someone's sorrow
helped to share,
BY taking or your shoulders, as If il
were your right,
The burden of their griefs, to ease
their care?
Did you ever have feeling, when
you Cpd your eyes at morn,
That you would through the day do
some good deed,
By helping those in trouble, and sc
help to be borne
Their troubles, when they were in
direst need ?
Did you ever have a feeling, when
you saw the troubled smile,
That showed itself upon the sorrow
ing faces
That you had done your duty, by help
ing to beguile
Dull hours, sad thoughts or dire dis
graces?
Did you ever have a feeling, in the
quiet of the night,
When noise was hushed, and night,
with its pail covers
When you, upon your knees, would
pray with all your might
To Him, to ease the griefs and pain
of others?
Did you ever have a feeling, when you
arose from of your knees,
A holy kind of feeling, subdued,
peaceful,
That your prayers would sure be an
swered, then you with mind at
ease,
Lie down to sleep-to take a rest
so needful?
/ know you've had these feelings, be-
cause your actions show; t,
You cannot hide your light beneath
measure,
Because, kindness and sympathy
from out your eyes doth glow
When trying to give unto others
pleasure.
Those who've never had these feel
ings have never lived at all
Not in the sense that Christ taught
us to live
He taught lesson plainly-what he
said let us recall:
Blessed are they that through him
mercies give.
So keep on living thusly, your bur-
dens will be less,
If you, through him, extend a help
ing hand.
Unto none refuse kindness, unto
none but him confess
All your troubles-thus you'll join
his happy band.
