QUESTION BOX
rs FILLED WITH
REAL PUZH.5RS

The question box at the First
Methodist church this month has
been the receptacle of some very
knotty questions. These will be
taken up by Rev. Delmer H.
Trimble, at the p. m. service
Sunday. Some of the posers are:
What is the effect of the secu-
lar press and especially the Sun
day funny paper" on the ideals
of the people?
What is courtship?
Why do the theaters and NOV
les often pander to low public
taste in featuring the risque and
near-obscene under the pretexr
of furthering morality?
Is 1t wrong for family to go
automobiling on Sunday If they
do not neglect the services of the
church?
Are familiarities proper be-
tween unengaged young people :?

PIRACY"
SAYS T. R.

SYRACUSE, May S.-Theodore
Roosevelt's comment on the dis
aster was as follows:
This represents not merely
piracy, but piracy on vaster
scale Of murder than ony old
time pirate ever practiced. This
is the warfare which destroyed
Lovain and Dinant and hundreds
Of men, women and children in
Belgium. 1t is warfare against
innocent men, women and chill
dren travelling on the ocean and
to our fellow countrywomen, who
are among the sufferers.
1T seems inconceivable that.
we can refrain from taking action
in this matter, for we owe it not
only to humanity, but to our own
national self respect"

and opened a fire of barks and

Lem responded valiantly to the

hard fighting the monster didn't
have a bark left in him and he

THE CHRISTMAS GOODNESS
Episcopal Theological School,
Cambridge, Mass.

And on earth peace, good will toward
men.
For a few weeks at least OF every
year we take the Christmas lesson OF
fraternity into our lives. Men and
women and little children have been
going about thinking what they could
do for others The streets and shops
have been full Of people whose arms
have been full of bundles There have
been sweet domestic conspiracies in
every household The idea has pos
sessed the community that the right
thing to do is to make other people
happy For a little while, as the year
draws near its close, and we look
across into a new time, 1t seems as If
the old manner OF living were being
put away, with all its narrowness and
pettiness and jealousy, with its self
seeking and its vicious self-content,
and as If the dawn of the blessed
millennium were already shining upon
the SUBMITS of the mountains.
For q few weeks the Christmas
spirit animates the churches. The
kingdom Of heaven comes. What we
want is to have this fraternal time
continued. What we need is Christ
mas every day. II that blessed king
dom is ever to be established here; II
the will of God Ia ever to be done by
the employer and the workman, by
the landlord and the tenant; IL the
present discomfort is ever to met and
ministered to, 1t must be by the cul-
tivation in US of the Christmas good
ness. We must learn the lessons of
simplicity and fraternity We must
follow more closely the blessed foot
steps of his life who on this day for
our salvation was born at Bethlehem
and Graded in manger.

WHAT CANDLES SYMBOLIC
Higher Meaning of Little Burning
Tapers That Ornament the
Christmas Tree.

1t is little wonder we cling to the
old custom of lighting the little pink
and blue and green and yellow can
dies For we apprehend, | am sure,
not altogether dimly, as we go about
touching them into fame, the shining
potency of those things they do but
symbolize-of goodness, of love, Of
spirituality, and the far-reaching pow
er Of these to tighten the world. 1t
cannot be but the Tinsel Star was
right. The gifts and ornaments of
Christmas, fair and fitting though they.
are, might all be done away with and
we should still have a very good
Christmas indeed, If but the Christmas
candles shed their light.
Yet | do not forget that the Para
disc Bird scorned the little bits Of
blackened candles that lay in the
Christmas box, We are very human
after all, and the candles of our kind
ness seem but little things sometimes
and soon burned out. Fail they may,
but there shall be, and with all the
more reason, others to take their
places.
Over again and once a year the hui
man spirit makes for itself festival,
and under the light of the abiding
heavens which do not fail-Gods glow
ing heavens of stars that are forever
lighted, forever sure-it lifts up the
tapers of its own lighting, tapers
which, though they burn out humanity,
yet with touching devotion of faith
shall be replaced, relighted, rekindled
each year, as the blessed season comes
around.
Types they are, these Christmas
candles of our lives, so apt to fail and
Of our purposes, so easily wasted, but
types also of our glowing longings, our
luminous uncomfortable hopes; nor
can 1t be said that we have failed so
long as we relight them, year after
year, a pledge of our own faith in bet
ter things and to do honor to that
Little Lord, whom, with touching de-
votion to the old shining symbol of "a
light that shineth in darkness she'd
ding blessing across our way, we still
lovingly and how appropriately call
THE Light Of the World. "--Woman's

Gauze bags, made to hold individ-
ual powder puff balls, are among the
popular new fads that make lovely
Christmas gifts They are made of
chiffon, silk muslin or gauze, gathered
over a silk-covered embroidery hoop,
Hangers of light satin ribbon are
fastened at each side of the hoop with
rosette.
The balls, of absorbent cotton, are
finished with tiny bows of baby rib
bon matching the hangers in color.
AS soon as used they are thrown
away.
Powered silk muslin makes pretty
bags, with ribbon hangers matching
the flowers in color The little bows
are sewed to the balls. The bags hang
at the side of the dressing case for
the convenience of guests.

A convenient gift which will be wei.
coined by either men or women is q
group of wall pockets for the closet
A strip of denim or cretonne is cut
as long as the maker may choose
and bound with tape. Strips of the
material ranging in width and length
are bound with the tape and a deep
box plat is laid in each one. 81
These pieces are stitched along
three sides to the plain strip to form
pockets, as shown in the picture
above. The pockets hold slippers,
shoes, rubbers, hosiery, corsets or
small articles for the laundry. Pock-
cts made to extend the length of the
closet door will hold everything which
usually finds a place on the floor.

Two squares of figured silkalene are
placed face to face and machine
stitched together in felled seam. One
corner is then cut off and the bag and
corner piece turned right side out.
The edges, made by cutting off the
corner, are folded over small en-
broidery hoop and sewed down. The
bag is suspended by means of a fold
of the silkalene, with edges machine
stitched together and ends sewed to
each side of the opening.
The corner that was cut away is
stuffed with cotton or sawdust and
bound with tape, making cushion for
darning needles. A little piece OF
tape is sewed to one edge Of it and to
the bag, attaching 1t to the opening.
This provides receptacle for hosiery
that needs darning. .-,,
