Jesus" "Whosoever would be-
come great among you shall be
your servant" This is the spirit
with which he would have us filled,
this the manner of life he would
have US live.
And somehow even the most
sordid and selfish of us realize in
a vague fashion that Christmas
means this. As the blessed season
approaches our hearts begin to ex-
pand and our thoughts go out to-
ward our fellows. We plan to send
tokens of good will to our friends.
We contribute to funds for the re-
lief of the poor and unfortunate.
Now all this is we'll, as far as it
goes, but it falls very far short of
| the ideal of service which Christ
mas holds up before us. That
ideal is not one of spasmodic
charity, but of perpetual self
giving after the example of the
Son of God. The Christian is to
renounce himself, utterly repu-
diate the principle of selfshness
as the rule of his life, and take up
his cross and daily follow his
Master.
There is sore need just now that
we take this lesson to heart. The
Church can no longer command
the respect and loyalty of men on
the ground that she is divine in
stitution charged with divine au-
thority. She must prove her di-
vine commission by the things she
does. The world is not, as is
sometimes assumed, growing worse,
bat men are growing more keenly-
sensitive than they have ever be-
fore been to the injustice and the
inequalities that inhere in our
present social order and to the
pitiful cries of agony and longing
that come up from the oppressed
and weary ard sin-smitten multi
tudes that work amid the SCOT and
CRIME of our mines and factories,
or writhe in sordid misery in the
slums of our cities, and they are

pomp and power Of the forces that
stand against them, they are un-
afraid, for they know that they are
in league with God and that the
very stars from their courses are
fighting with them. There has
never been a time in all history
when the forces that make for
peace and brotherhood were so
many, SO thoroughly organized,
and so fixed in their determination
to carry the banner of the Prince
of Peace to final victory as today.
And, as God reigns, they are
bound to win. Let US not doubt
it. Let us suffer no note of de-
spondency to mar our Christmas
music. Rather let US take up, and
repeat with joyous confidence, the
song which the angels sapg-"The
Lord God omnipotent reigneth"
and "Of the increase of his gov
ernment and of peace there shall
be no end"

1t is impossible to associate the
idea of sel6shness with Christmas.
1t is shot through with social sig-
nihcance. 1t reveals a kind of
vital reciprocity between earth and
heaven. It shows us the angels
interesting themselves in human
affairs and coming to the world on
errands of service. The manger of
Bethlehem stands next to the Cross
of Calvary as symbol of divine
love and sacrifice for a lost world.
1t means that "Christ Jesus, being
in the form of God, did not reckon
his equality with God a thing to
be clung to, but emptied himself,
taking The form of servant, and
was made in the likeness of men"
"Taking the form of servant
how suggestive these words! "The
Son of man came not to be minis
tered unto, but to minister, and to
give his life a ransom for many"
And those whom he gathered
about him were to be endued with
the same spirit and impelled by

a week in advance? can give you

a check, as may want the ready money

Receiving a faint indication that, un-
der the circumstances. a check would
be esteemed favor. Philip whipped out
his check book, filled in check to the
hotel, and did not forget to cross it

The clerk watched him with an amaze
ment too acute for words He produced
the register and Philip signed his name.
He was given a receipt for the payment
on account. and then asked to be shown
to his rooms.
A boy smaller, but not younger, than
himself-a smart page. who listened to
the foregoing with deep interest-asked
timidly whether the guest would go by

to ascertain his bearings.
The palatial nature OF tho apartments
took him by surprise when he reached
them Although far from being the
most expensive suite in the hotel. the
surroundings were of a nature vastly re-
moved from anything hitherto known TO
him.
Even the charming house he inhabited
as child in Dieppe contained no such
luxury. His portmanteau followed
quickly, and a valet entered. Philips
quick ears caught the accent of
Frenchman and the boy spoke to the
man in the language of his country,
pure and undehled by the barbarisms of
John Bull.
They were CHATTING about the weather
which by the way ever since the 18th
of March had been extraordinarily fine.

and the manager entered.

NJ OW, the chance use of that Ian
" guage, no less than his perfect
accent went a long way toward
removing the managers suspicious. A
boy who was so well educated must be
quite out of the common. Perhaps some
eccentric parent or guardian encour-
aged him to act independently thus
early in life. He might be the son of
rick man coming to London for a spe-
cial course of study. The name, Anson,
was an aristocratic one But his
c'othes-they were odd. Good enough,
but not the right thing.

His uncanny trick of thought reading

doubtedly the boy was a puzzle. Never
had this experienced man Of the world
met any one more self possessed, more
direct, and yet, with it all, exceedingly
polite.

inquired, pleasantly.
