Two Hours a Day.

DR.. Frank Crane in Woman,s World:
In cultural value two hours day for
six days is better than six hours in
oneday. Try it yourself on sn1an
scale. Take a puzzle or a. chess prob
lem you would solve, OF a quotation
you wish to memorize; you will hnd
that to take it UP ten times for five
minutes of effort will be much more
satisfactory than to spend fifty solid
minutes upon it.
Mind is rythmic, periodical. In
pure intellect, the adage is not true,
literally. that keeping everlastingty
at it brings success; it is everlastingly
going away from it and coming back
again that produces the best results.
Your two hours d day, therefore, is
key enough to all treasures.
Go slow. Don't get impatient. Don't 7
indulge in such baby-talk as "Oh, |
can never get this!" Il am so stupid!"
and the like.
You can understand anything if you
keep at it every day. Learning the
whole Bible backward by heart is only
a matter of patience. Remember, It Is
growth you are after, not the learning
of trick.
Always look up what you do not un-
derstand. Have access to a dictionary
| and encyclopedia, and chaiiense evers
word or fact. DO not get into the slip
shod method of guessing at what
thing means.
Most ridiculous and sometimes hu'
initiating mistakes are caused by th'
lguessinr habit. once heard a woman
luse the word "meretricious" when sf'
meant "neritorius,'' because the fore
part of the word sounded as IL 1t hac
| to do with "nlerit.

lay His head. "a
The fox has his hole and the bird
of the air her nest but the Son or
Man hath not where to lay His head"
So. in that cave in the rock, the stall
Of the OK and the ass, in the crib out
OF which they ate their hay, the new
born babe was laid. Just think what
all this means! God made flesh, God
born as man in this world OF ours,
that He might find a way to bring
back man to God. He hid His might
and men hid their face from Him.
None by the herds who kept their

and a host Of bright ones in the sky
sang such song as no choir on earth
has sung, which gave praise to God on
High, "and on earth peace, good will
to men," Those herds had faith to go
and seek the Child of Whom they were
told. They found him in the crib and
they saw more than their eyes could
sec. They knew that in that weak
Child was the power OF God to save.
And so these good men. when they had
how'd down, went back to their flock,
struck with awe, and gave praise to
God for all they had heard and SEEN"
Shall we do less-shall we not, too,
go home and give thanks on our part,
with JOY for what we have heard?
And in all our joy let us find room for
the one guest Who should not be left
out--room in our hearts for Him

CONGRESS Grows MiIder.

War talk in congress was sup
planted yesterday by spirit OF con-
ciliation. There were surface OUT
breaks in the house, mostly along po-
litical lines, but the undercurrent Oh
gossip which last week had grown into
a formidable sentiment that the presi-
dent should adopt extreme measures
almost disappeared during yesterdays s
session of the house.
In it's place were interest and Gu
riosity regarding the outcome OF the
efforts of the South American repuo-
lies to appease the situation. Chap
lain Couden of the house, in opening
proceedings, referred to the pacific eff
forts under way.
Meantime the more radical clement
in congress is withholding criticism
pending the results OF the negotla-
tions.

Mo Americans Killed.

Secretary Bryan declared no Amer
leans had been killed or injured since
the crisis Of the last two weeks be-
gan, and that though many had been
detained at Aguas Calientes, Cordoba
and Orizaba, efforts were now being
made to obtain their release.
"Things look very much better now,
said Secretary Daniels late yesterday:
1--WE are getting Americans out OF
Mexico. That is the important thlne
now."
Secretary Bryan announced that the
presidents recent address to congress
and the full text Of the correspond
ence between Argentina, Brazil and
Chile, had now reached all Central
and South American capitals, and that
had it gotten to Montevideo, Uruguay
earlier, the anti American demonstra-
ton there would have been averted.

subject the birth of Christ, was
published in full in English papers

what God thinks--for if it were not
for Him we could not know it at all.
God did SO love the world that He

who trust in Him should not die but
