Tn. Greatest Gift.

Christmas stands for one thing-our Fathers wOndrOus love to us. his erring and unworthy children. in send ing his only hegotten Son into this world to die for our sins and to rise again to he our Deliverer each day from sin and selfishness.
 Jesus Christ himself is the great Christmas gift The only true way to keep Christmas is by first of all ac cepting for. ourselves this wondrous gift of our Heavenly Father and then to show Onr appreciation of this won drOus gift by giving ourselves and all that we have for others
 It is true instinct that leads us to give to others Christmas presents. but too often in following out this instinct we give these Christmas gifts to the wrong persons. We give to those who already have too much and forget those who have not enough.
 God gave his great gift to the needy. to those who had nothing to return for his gift Let us follow him. Let us find the needy and give to them out of our abundance. Every one who Is in comfortable circumstances should find some family that is really in need. some family where there will be little Christmas brightness unless others come to their help and give to this family real Christmas. including good Christmas dinner and some appro- priate gift to every member of the family down to the youngest child.
 Don't do it through some society. What is most needed is living and sym pathetic personal contact between rich and poor Do this and you will have as merry Christmas as you ever knew. RcI R A. Torrey

CHRISTMAS SONG.
By EDMUND HAMILTON SEARS.

By EDMUND HAMILTON SEARS. Calm on the listening ear of night
 Come heavens meIodious strains Where wild Judea stretches far
 Her silver mantled plains; Celestial ehoIrs from courts above
 Shed sacred glories there, And angels with their sparkling tyres
 Make music on the air. The answering hills of Palestine
 Send back the glad reply And greet from all their holy heights
 The day spring from on high. Ger the blue depths of GaIiIee
 There comes a hoIier calm. And Sharon waves in solemn praise
 Her silent groves of palm. 'fGIory to Goal" The lofty strain
 The realm of ether fills. How sweeps the song of solemn joy Ger Juoai1's sacred hiIIsI "Glory to Goal" The sounding skies Loud with their anthems ring. "Peaee on the earth. good will to men, From heavens eternal kins." Light on thy hills. JerusaIemI
 The Saviour now is born. More bright on BethIehen's joyous
 plains
 Breaks the first Christmas morn. And brighter on Moriah's brow, Crowned with her temple spires, Which first proclaim the newborn light, Clothed with it's orient fires. This day shall Christian lips be mute And Christian hearts be coId7 Oh. catch the anthem that from heaven Ger Judah's mountains rolled When nightly burst from seraph harps The high and solemn lay. "Giory to God; on earth be peace; Salvation comes todayI"

| ~ ODAY the whole Christian G world prostrates itself in ado N ration around the crib of Beth
 IeheIn and rehearses in ac- cents of love history which precedes all time and will endure throughout eternity. If asked to explain the rap turous influence which controls us we have no other words than the evangel of joy which the angel gave unto earth.
 'FOr this day is born unto you a Saviour. who is Christ the Lord.'
 The blessings resulting from our Christian civilization are poured out so regularly and abundantly on the intel Iectual. moral and social world. like the sunlight and the air of heaven and the fruits of the earth. that they have ceased to excite any surprise, except to those who visit lands where the re ligion of Christ is little known.
 Before the advent of Christ the whole world. with the exception of the secluded Roman province of Palestine. was buried in idolaltry Men worship ed the sun and moon and stars of heav- en They worshiped everything ex cept God only. to whom alone divine homage is due Christ. the Light of the World. proclaimed unto all men in its fullness the truth which had hith- ertO been hidden in Judea.

 The message of Christmas day is in tended for all men, for all times. for all conditions of existence. Only by stern adhesion to the principles therein con tained can individuals and nations hope to share in that peace which has been promised to men of good will To violate them is to reverse the order esta bIished by God. and disorder is the synonym for sin and strife.

Our nation has been quite success
full in discovering war secrets Of
other nations, principally because
American manufacturers of, NUM-
tions have been able to learn these
secrets through trade channels.
What the espionage Of Europe
once failed to do, namely, to learn
the secret Of French smokeless pow
der, was accomplished by an Ameri-
can firm. The Dupont Powder Com
pany, official powder makers, sent
Hudson Maxim, the powder wizard,
to Europe on this errand. He dined
with a Frenchman who had in his
possession one cartridge Of the
French smokeless powder. This
Frenchman burnt a saucer Of it for
Maxim's inspection. The American
found about the charred edge ten
grains Of unburnt powder. The
Frenchman saw them, too, but he
was contemptuous of the Americans
analytical ability, and he presented
the grains to Maxim, thinking it was
not enough for him to analyze. II
was enough. That night Maxim had
Frances secret Of nitro-cellulose,
Maxim reported his discovery to
the Duponts, who turned it over to
the u. S. government.

Profound changes in the military

The struggle is being charted as

the War College bend the military

in a biological laboratory.
One phase of the change probably
will be seen in heavier appropria-

The existence of the 11.2-inch
Krupp siege guns was unknown to
the rest Of the world until a few
months ago. No other phase of the
war has more profoundly impressed
our general staff. The incident is
expected by the Army League and
other societies advocating greater
national secrecy to carry their propa.
lganda to success.

GRAIN SALES.

That farmers are selling a great
deal of wheat and oats and a fair
quantity of corn at prevailing high
prices is shown by the continued large
receipts at primary markets. which
aggregated 26,639,0 900 bushels of all
grains last week. There was an in
crease for the week of 5,499. 900 bush
els, or PIG per cent over the previous
week, 9,456. 900 bushels, or 55.6 per
cent owe last year, and 6,S23,000
bushels, or 1854 per cent over the
five-year average.
Wheat receipts increased 2,517. 900
bushels, corr 1885, 900 bushels, and
oats 1,7SS, 900 bushels for the week.
Increases over last year were strik-
ing, that in wheat being $4,000
bushels, corn 3S1 900 bushels, and
oats 1854. 900 bushels.
Wheat receipts at Minneapolis and
Duluth for the month of October were
25,40S cars. compared with 31,S2S cars

bankrupted Germany to have bought
the entire output. But Germany
even by subsidies, encouraged the
Krupps to 60 abroad after foreign|
trade. The Krupps sold guns
throughout the world. With SUCH a
market the demand n~ecessitated ek-
tension of the plant to its present
tremendous size.
Our, own policy has been the re
verse of this. AT Indian Head, Md,
we are attempting to manufacture
all our small-arm powder. This
powder had been perfec ted by inveh-
lions in the Wilmington laboratories
to fire 10000 times without injuripg
the rifle barrel, while the best Eu-
|ropean powder will ruin a rifle with
10000 rounds. But Congress, with
out a thank you for the formula
which had been entrusted to the
army ordnance officers, last year en-
larged the Indian Head plant ito
make all this non-destructive pow
der, and forbade the purchase of
any more from the Dupont company,
which consequently converted its
factories into plants for the manu-
facture of commercial explosives.
The Indian Head plant has only a
peace capacity. It would take a
year to re-equip the private plants
to manufacture ri1e;powdex.
