THE NATIONAL GAME.

One of the most widespread sports
is the game of Christmas shopping.
About the latter part of November
of every year, the citizen of the
United States consults his personal
batting average of the year before.
It Is a record as carefully kept as
the books of business concern. No
one wishes to "fan out" in this
game, but many a foul ball" is per-
petrated. In this category are in
cluded neckties which mother pur-
chases for father and the cigars
the betrothed graciously sends to
her fiance.
Everyone INDUCES in the sport.
1t is SO attractive that all contract
debts, which are the only bad part
of the play, to an amount that is
greater than the individual is able
to pay. Then the day of January
First finds an army of bill collectors
awaiting the morrow, the more gra-
ciously to present the bills.
A check to the destructive effort
upon the thickness of paternal pock-
etbooks is the gift of cards as
Christmas remembrances. "The
spirit of giving is the cry of all
who wish to apologize or mitigate
criticism. "The spirit of remem-
brance" in a message of good cheer.

sHolY Land of Asia Minor,

The Rev. Francis E. Clark, pres
ident of the United Society of Chris
tian Endeavor and author of "Old
Homes of New Americans" "The
Continent of Opportunity" gives in
the complete title of his newest
book a commentary on the work
itself. 1t is: "The Holy Land of
Asia Minor; The Seven Cities Of the
Book of Revelation, Their Present
Appearances, Their History, Their
Significances, and Their Message
to the Church of Today"
These seven cities are in the Holy
Land that is little known, the Holy
Land where the earliest churches
were formed and in which st. John
was so interested. The chapter
headings name and characterize
these cities and their churches as:
"Ephesus, the Church of Waning
Enthusiasm" Smyrna, the City Of
the Noble Crown" "Pergamos, the
City of Satan's Seat" "Thyratira,
the City of the Iron Rod and the
Morning Star" "Sardie, the Bur-
led City" philadelphia, the City
Of the Open Door," 'Laodicea, the
Lukewarm." They were churches
that "epitomised all churches in
all ages-churches which were ar
dent and faithful; churches that
had lost their early enthusiasm;
churches that harbored heresy and
unbelief; churches that did not re-
buke sin in the grossest form; and
on the other hand, churches that
maintained the faith, kelt their
early zeal aglow, reprobated the
wrong, stood steadfast unto the
end, and which should receive at
last the crown of life."
In addition to the religious sig
nificance of the book, DIR. Clark has
impregnated it with good descrip
ton of the ruins and present-day
characteristics of the cities.

Theology and Preaching.

Modern Theology and the
Preaching of the Gospel" was writ
ten by DIR. William Adams Brown,
professor of systematic theology in
Union Theological Seminary, to
show that science and religion are
reconciled, that the former does
not destroy the latter, but rather af-
fords method of study of religion
which makes it compatible with
modern thought and civilization.
"If the theology of the past seems
uninteresting to us, it is because
we have been trying to live upon
other peoples answers instead OF
trying to answer our own question
for ourselves" says Doctor Brown.
Then he goes on to show how

The booksellers are Offering the
Century dictionary at a very low

The publishers have discontinued
the publication of the Century die
tionary. Just prior to their de-
cision they had ordered a new
printing of the revised edition, con-
tanning all material collected by
their editorial department since
the previous issue 1911. The new
material in the 1911 edition was
issued as supplement and bound
in the backs of the several volumes.
The new issue may be secured in
cloth at $31.50; in buckram $4,000
The publishers price was $4,000
and $500 respectively.

GOLD CLOTHES, MISTERl.

"Got an old overcoat, boss? It's
turnin' cold" And with this ples
is announced to many prosperous
citizen of Columbia the two facts
|. that winter again is upon us anG
/ that the poor we always have with
us.
A charitable looking man scarcely
can go downtown when the first
, freeze nips without being accosted
several times with this same plea
1t may have been that the over
coatless one was shiftless all sum-
mer, that he refused to work when
work could have been his, that he
had no chance to work, that he is
incapacitated for work. Any of
these may have been true.
But equally true is the fact that
now he is cold and he has no over
coat.
So 1t is the business of somebody
to give him one. 1t matters not how
he came to be without one. The
fact that he has no adequate pro-
lection from the cold in his claim
to charity.
Columbia has a Charity Organi-
zation Society whose one care it is
to provide for the worthy poor. This
society, however, has yts hands
full without securing overcoats for
the cold. Why can't this particu-
lar phase of the winters charity
be made an individual matter?
Old overcosts aren't such rari-
ties in Columbia that enough cannot
be found to supply the demand. 1t
is merely question of circumvent-
ing the old-clothes dealer by asking
the wife please to keep that dilap-
idated, worn-out, frazzled old nor
easter that you wore somewhere
back about the time of the 1907
panic.
Then the next time you are ac-
costed for an overcoat, instead of
waving the supplicant aside, stop
and give him your address and tell
him that his coat is awaiting him.
The sun will shine a bit bright
er for you after that and there will
be a new warmth in you somewhere
beneath your fifth rib.

THE REV. BOLIVIAN HERE
Is Working i'm Interests of SOciety
for the Friendless.

AVh thC L1AChulCcSe
The Rev. James B. Bollman, as
sistant divisional superintendent
of the Society for the Friendless, is
here working in the interest of the
society.
The Society for the Friendless
was organized in 1901 and is q ma
tional movement, as 1t is doing ac-
tive work in twelve states. One of
its objects is the aiding of ex-pris-
oners to get new start in life,
which it does by finding employ
ment for them and paying their
necessary expenses until they re-
ceive their first wages. 1t also
aids needy prisoners families. The
society is advocating the passing of
the Wage Law which provides that
g part of a prisoners earnings be
sent to his family.
The society aided 792 ex-priscn-
ers in Kansas and Missouri IN
1913. seventy-five per cent of whom
made good. The average cost of
putting a man in a position to be
self-supporting Is SIS. The society
is supported by voluntary gifts.

out her back and fill her lungs with
dust by having to use a broom when
she sweeps, or does she press an
electric button and with ease, quick
ness and cleanliness take up the
dirt with vacuum cleaner? Does
she have to lug a bucket of coal
up from the cellar and build hot
fire in the range, or light the dan
gerous gasoline or coal oil stove
in order to make coffee or tea and
toast for your lunch, or does she
have electrical appliances which
will do the work of the stove in
less time and with much less work
for her? When the washwoman
comes does your wife have to help
lift heavy tubs of water and work in
a hot, steamy kitchen, or is there
an electric washer in the basement
which can be filled from faucets
and emptied by opening a stopcock,
and which when started can be left
to itself until the clothes are clean?
Is your wife drudging along in the
old way when she might as we'll
have the new? This is a worthy
sentiment, some may say, but the
money involved does not warrant
it. The cost! The cost!
Yes, what of this cost? 1t takes
but few cents an hour at most to
operate these electrical appliances,
and except for the vacuum cleaner,
washmachine and iron, few are
ever used for even an hour at
time. If you do your washing at
home you can, by using an electric
washing machine, dispense with a
washwoman. do the work yourself
with less bother and very little ply
steal exertion, and in the wages
saved recover the cost of the ma
chine in a short time. But one
of the best arguments in favor of
using electrical appliances, one that
is constantly at work, is their ef-
ficiency. For the few cents spent |

Or power generated is used for the

In this work they will be aided

and Japanese fighting vessels on
the Pacific coast OF the United
States. making altogether a fleet
far more powerful than Germany's
in the Eastern ocean.
The Anglo-Japanese conquest OF
Kiaochau came AT very opportune
time, as the destruction wrought
against the British by Admiral Won
Specs squadron off the Chilean
coast made action urgently neces-
sary, and yet. owing to recent indi.
cations OF activity by the kaiser's
warshlps outside the Kiel canal. the
admiralty hesitated TO detach any
vessels from the home fleet for duty
in the Pacific.
The presence OF so many German
ships off the South American coast
strongly suggests that the kaiser
has a base somewhere In that part
OF the world.
