saying an unkind thing. For
many years he was an active
work er in the Congregational
Church. He was a deacon for many
years and conductor OF a large

He lie e. took any II arrow or sect

gone on only a little while before

lie that must be a daily blessing

kenediction upon his noble vie

of relief 10 think thst after al We
are chiefly responsible for our own
personal conduct! And il on this
glad Christmas Day we can honestly
assure ourselves that we are at peace
with all our neighbors. and our fam
lies and friends. then we have done
our own little share toward making
the condition what it should be. II
on the contrary we harbor jealousies,
resentments. and bitter feelings, then
we are out of spirit with the peaceful
joyousness of the day-and in our
own hearts is something OF the hat
red and uncharitableness that made
this monster of war possible.
So there is really quite a lot that
we can each one of US do by way of
turthering peace on earth," even
though the task of patching up petty
squabbles and jealousies isn't quite so
inspiring a procedure as signing our
name to some magnificent peace petit
ton or taking out a membership in
the newest organization for the pro-
motion Of peace among the nations.

only one Of our weekday holidays
that is celebrated across the seas. and
the only one that was known when
our forefathers first came to this con-
tinent. is here to remind US, apart
from its purely religious significance.
of the peace on earth and brotherly
love which should be for all people.
But what's the use of talking of
peace when half of Christendom is
locked in deadly strife! What's the
use of talking OF brotherly love when
apparently all the progress we have
made toward that goal since the dawn
of Christianity seems to have been
lost in a simple series of war declara-
tions? What's the. use of trying to
help! What's the use Of putting your
name down on the list of peace soci-
cites? What good did Jane Adams
dor What good do peace conferences
dor Isn't Henry Ford the most ridi-
culed man in our country?
You are right. 1t does seem rath-
or hopeless.
But by way of solution to this
difficult situation, isn't it something

Isn't it fact that you often let

many holiday plans to carry out that
you quite forgot those hale old patri-

those same patriots though you may

a whole nation was taking holiday.
And on Thanksgiving many a
housewife has so much to do by way
of stuffing the turkey and engineering
the festivities for a reunited family
that she never once stops, to be
thankful. And it is safe to say that
on Labor Day not one working man
or woman in one hundred ever takes
a thought about the dignity and priv
ileges of American industry.
So it won't be very strange if you

Work of the Audubon Societies.

The Audubon societies. which have al
ready checked the killing OF native birds
for millinery purposes, now purpose to
stop the slaughter of song birds for food.
The two greatest enemies of the small
bird are the negro of the South and the
italian in the North. according to T. Gil
bert Pearson, secretary of the National
Association of Audubon societies. who is
devoting his life to the conservation of
bird life
Millions OF small birds in migration
are destroyed yearly by the people Of
Southern States and used for food" said
Mr.. Pearson. at the Office of the Audubon
societies. 1874 Broadway, recently. THE
destruction. now increasing. Is having
serious effect on the number of song
birds in the North. Negroes are armed
with guns. and many are proficient in
other means of destruction. In the North.
large numbers Of foreign laborers, COM
ing from Europe, kill small birds for
food 1t is only recently that little birds
were sold in large quantities in New
York City, and they are still sold by
thousands in the South.
THE prevention Of the slaughter Of
song birds is q stupendous task. 1t must
be done by educating the public through
the schools, the press and the clergy in
order that better laws and better en-
forcement of the laws now on the statute
books may be had. The sum of 100000
is needed now for this purpose.
The scarcity of robins. bluebirds and
bobolinks is becoming noticeable over
wide areas. We try to reach the public
in every way possible, and 1t takes great
amounts OF money to do 1t. One way Is
by issuing circulars and circulars are
expensive.
Take our Junior Audubon Society for
example. Over 10000 children belong to
the various branches OF that all over
the country and last year we took In
$1,000 from them, each child paying 10
cents q year. but 1 spent over $4,000 sup
plying them with educational literature.
Each one receives q button as q
badge and ten beautifully illustrated
leaflets which the child cannot help be-
ing interested in and about which he goes
to his parents or his teacher Each leaf
let treats Of some one bird and IL ac-
companied by q colored plate showing a
picture Of that bird drawn by the best
artist We can set and printed by the
most expensive process. These leaflets
have done an enormous amount Of GOOD
Then We have established 1880 Au-
dubon clubs all over the country and
these clubs have . total membership Of
