the barn or house awaiting their portion
of our Fathers bounties at the hand of

Emboldened by hunger the shivering
bird perches on the window sill, or hops
over the floor, and as half afraid it
glances askanse at the benefactor, it
frets and jumps and looks as if
wondering where 1t is; and amazed at
itself for being SO familiar: and when
at length the cravings of hunger are
satisfied with a good hearty meal of
crumbs and seeds, it straightens ITSELF
up, surveys its surroundings chirps its
thanks and is off to It's home in the
thicket or the old barn.
The timid hare, beset by hidden
snares, voracious dogs and IMPLYING
man, urged by the gnawnings fhunger
ard fearless want, seeks the garden
where it feeds on frozen vegetables.
The bleating focks slowly emerge
from the fold and follow their leader to
the fields, where with looks of dumb
despair they survey the darkened
heavens, and the shining earth, and
then claw through the snow for the
frozen and withered herb.
The shout of merriment that comes
from the hill side. or from the street,
the loud huzzahs of happy youth
remind one forcefully of coasting days.
The jingle of sleigh bells mingled
with merry laughs of young men and
maidens, falls on the sharp air of even
ing as they glide rapidly over the
smooth surface to the social gather
ing or the singing school.
Over the CLASSY lake glides Ethe light
hearted school boy, but when the first
star hangs its sparkling light out on the
battlements of heaven, he throws off
his skates and brimful of glee. hurries
home to tell mother Of the good time he
has had. Happy boy, if in his thought
less glee he is meet with a smile and
kindly greeting, and feels tender
hand shake the snow flakes from his
curls. Happy the parent, who with
sympathizlng arm draws him nearer
and with gentle voice asks;of his sports
and lessons, while the silent prayer is
going from the heart to heaven be-
seeching benedictions on the land.

Pay-Up WeeH.
y ours truly,
JOHANNES.

What promises to become an annual
national event has been inaugurated as
National Pay-Up Week, February 81
26, inclusive.
Our credit is national in its scope.
The manufacturer extends credit to the
jobber, the iobber carries the retail
merchant, the merchant in turn en-
tends credit to his customers, and,
therefore, every bushes interest should
be interested in a National Pay-Up
Week. If local peoplelin towns would
make it point to pay the doctor, the
preacher, the printer, the grocer and
all other merchants, and the merchant
made it point to paw the wholesaler
and the jobber, and the wholesaler to
paw the manufacturer during this week,
February p 26 there would be more
dollars put in circulation in this country
than were ever started movingEduring
the same length of time.
a good slogan to be used from now
till National Pay-Up Week I'would be,
You pay your bills-I will pay mine,
February 2l-26."
The Pay Up Week" is a great idea.
Of couese no one would expect the
millennium to come to US with Pay Up
Week. To some people "Pay-Up
Week" would be about as significant as
Doomesday, but certainly great deal
could be accomplished in this manner,
and if the local banks would take hold
of it they would be doing a great thing
for the community and at the same
time would get in lot of perfectly
good six per cent paper for the use of
money they are now putting in A and
per cent bonds.

contrasts strangely with the merry
songs Of the piumed throngs, that but
a few months ago charmed the wood
with their concerts. Forests are ice
bound and branches may be seen bend
ing to the ground under their load of
snow, nay the wood looks as if it were
bowling its hoary head in penitential
silence before the Almighty. The only
sound that breaks the stiffness that
sometimes falls over the snow bound
earth, is the twitter of the timid snow
birds, or the hungry sparrows, which
seemingly try to cheer the cold and
dreary scenes about them. as they seek

The tempests are keener now than
formerly piercing north winds blow,
the clouds are thicker while the sky
assumes a sadder visage as the storm

At first few, scattering flakes are
whirling hither and thither as precursors
of what is to follow, till at last thick

of day with constant flow.
On forsaken harvest fields and wood
lands brown and bare, falls the beauti-
full snow, while valleys and hills are
robed in garments of purest white as a
bride decked for her marriage day. All
is bright save when the may stream,
as it winds its way through the valley,
melts the snow and when the sun as he
languidly sinks below the western hori-
zon, emits his last ray, the whole face
of the earth looks like a dazzling waste
that buries the works of man. The
shepherd gathers his great coat about
him and saunters forth to do his chores.

Winter.

An ever present and overwhelming
Providence preserves the regular sue
cession of times and seasons and causes
each to know its place.
At His bidding each comes and goes
bearing its lesson to man and preaching
its sermons. Man breaches with words
but God breaches to US through nature,
while the orderly succession of the
seasons brings silent but eloquent
messages.
The seasons are four evangelists.
Spring breaches an illustrated sermon
on the resurrection, summer teaches
US the beauty of God who crowns the
year with His goodness. This is follow
ed by the sad dirge of autumn who
mournfully says, eve all do fade as, q

Winter however breaches a powerful
sermon on the terrors of the law and
reminds US how easily God can strip

His majesty to judge the earth with
righteousness and His people with
equity.
The joys of the summer are gone
and the vintage is gathered, Evening

Automobile Licenses,

State Motor Vehicle Commissioner
Harry A. Roe is issuing motor car
licenses for 1916. This is an earlier
date than in former years, and the OBJ
iect of this is to obviate the hurry and
inconvenience resulting from the rush
to obtain licenses during the last few
days of the year. The new tags must
be carried by cars on and after January
l, 1916, to avoid arrest and fine.
The tags for the coming year are
black with yellow figures and it is
necessary under the law that they do
not conflict in color with those of near
by states, which the commissioner
hopes to avoid with the 1916 tags. This
provision of the law also makes indenti-
fication easier.
Prices of the tags, the commissioner
says, will be the same as during the
past.
