CHRISTMAS SPIRIT A1l0Es

5i Wondrous indeed was tho
mission Of the Christ Child!
He gave himself TO tho world
on the first Christmas day.
and with him came every
other good gift.
With him came bountiful
tables and good cheer in
lordiy and honeIy homes and
happy parents and merry
children. Mems hearts thawed
out, and long faces grew
shorter, and sad eyes twinkied
with glee, and evergreens
sparkIed with candles and
bore marvellous fruit of low
ing gifts, simple or costly. in
millions of horaes.
The trees wither; the toys
get broken; the groanine ta-
b!es are I;shtened of their
load. Dec. IS is succeeded by
the cold, dark days Of mid
winter. but the spirit Of
Christmas abides. In a way
every day is Christmas
J day, for the Christ Spirit
does not take its flight. Every
day of the year ministering
spirits go about their humble,
homeiy tasks. Every day
some one is catching the
blessed contagion Of Christ
mas and learning that it 10
more blessed to give than to
receive.
All, yes, every day is a
Christmas day to him who
learns this secret Of secrets!

GREAT BRITAIN
 MUST BE CAREFUL
Uncle Sam's Word Concern ing Destination of Cargoes Must Be Accepted.

Washington, Oct. 30.-A rock on which the diplomacy of Great Britain and the United States resrecting .he hold u. by British waraaips of American ships eventually may split is the British doctrine of ultimate destination" of cargoes.
 This formed the subject of a cor ference by officials of the state de- partment today and was considered significant in view of Britain's atti- tude that she will avail herself o1 the widest privilege of search.
 The state department recognizes of ficially the right of Great Britain tt search United States ships. but tine United States further insists Great Britain must be satisfied upor search of a ship to abide by the as. surance of the government as to ths destination of the cargo.
 In other words, the United States government take sthe stand that i Great Britain's warships are givel information that cargo is to go t. Denmark, a neutral port, the Pritis! government takes the stand that i our word for it. The customs mani fested must be accepted at its fact value.
