Open-hearted Cy paused to look UP
into a tree and drink in the wild,
sweet melody of a red-breasted rob-
in, perched on a high limb. He had
not been always a circus juggler.
Once he had been a prime violinist
and had led an orchestra. Then he
had drifted into the juggling art. The
irresponsible life of the circus just
suited him.
He halted next to pet stray dog.
Then he gave a dime to violently
weeping urchin who had stubbed his

CHRISTMAS AT CONGREGA-
TIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL

The Sunday school Of the Congrega-
tional Church has sought for scvcra
wears 10 make the Christmas season
one Of giving rather than of receiving
gifts. This year they are planning 70
use service called white Gifts for
the King" which seeks to carry out
the thought that as Christmas is 0ui
Saviours birthday, gifts of self, ser
vice or substance" should be given 70
Him at that time.
The children of the Sunday school
are asked to bring, as heretofore, any
toys, books, games or clothing which
they would like to give away; and in
addition each class and many individ-
uas are planning special gifts.
As so large a proportion of the chill
dren in the Sunday school are in the
younger classes it has been thought
best TO hold the service on Sunday,
Dec. 10th at o'clock.
The decorations will be white and
green and it is asked that the gifts be
wrapped in white paper.
The children have responded so
heartily to the idea that it is hoped
others may join them in offering
white gifts to the King, suggestions
for which are given in little leaflet
to be found with Miss Eggleston at
the library.

In 1910 Woodrow Wilson, then
Governor-elect of New Jersey, insist
ed that Jas. Z. MARITIME must be made
Senator In 1915, the same Woodrow
Wilson insists that MARITIME must not
be reelected. At the earlier period
MARITIME was elected, in the opinion of
some, because of Wilson's insistence.
Now he will be defeated--not because
OF Wilson's opposition, however, but
because New Jersey is going to elect
a Republican Senator next year.
