Christ and the Children.

When rulers and titled men ques-
toned him Jesus placed n child in
the midst of them and said, "Of such
is the kingdom of heaven" Socrates
sneered at the grief o. mother weep
ing for her babe. If Plato suggested
that every village should select dis
tant hilltop and build pen for the
exposure of unwelcome children; If
Aristotle urged laws making the drown
ing of sick and weakly babes COM
pulsory on their parents; If Seneca
said, 1--WE slay the wornout OK and
horse, and it is not wrath. but reason,
that separates weak children from
strong" If Cicero rebuked his friend
for grief because he missed the dead
babe. then every lover of childhood
must rise up to speak for that Christ
who took child in his arms, whose
love brooded over the child as the stars
looked down upon the little town Of
Bethlehem and who sent down through
the ages this word, Suffer little chill
dren to come unto me-" Jesus said,
"Take heed that We offend not one of
my little children" and "Their angels
do always behold the face of my
Father" and hope dawnId for child
hood. From that hour Jesus disciples
began to make life happy for children.

Tho Nativity.

The Nativity has found its best treat
ment in painting. The early painters
dealt only with the fundamental theme
the Virgin. in humility and alteration
and without the holy joy that the
Christ Child had been born into the
world, largely introduced by later art
lists; st. Joseph, gravely, wonderingly
silent the shepherds and the hymning
angels. The chronology of the several
events generally grouped under the
subject of the Nativity has, of course,
scant observance, as II rule, at the
hands of the artists. The alteration ot
the Mugi and the annunciution to the
shepherds are depicted Oh the same
canvas. An altar piece now In the
Metropolitan Art Museum, New York
city, makes use of the simultaneous
scene in It's arrangement. The shep-
herds are hearing the message of the
angels. and the kings come not, how
ever, as commonly shown, with gifts of
gold, frankincense and myrrh, but un'

Cbe COMING Of the King

TW FTER the shepherds returned
- to their flocks wise men came,
IA bringing with them gifts of
gold, frankincense and myrrh,
and coming into the presence of this
heaven sent babe they fell down and
worshiped him. And forty days after
ward, when the virgin mother came into
the temple at Jerusalem to offer the
sacrifice which Moses had appointed
for the birth of male child. an old
man, bending with the burdens and in
frmities of years, moved by the Spirit
of God, came bowling before the altar,
and, taking the infant in his withered
arms, he lifted up his heart in thank
fulness and said, Lord, now lettest
thou thy servant depart in peace, ac-
cording to thy word, for mine eyes
have seen thy salvation, which thou
hast prepared before the face of all
people, a light to tighten the gentiles
and the glory of thy people Israel"
And before these words of joy and
praise had fairly fallen from the old
mans lips n still more aged person, a
prophecies, coming into the temple,
caught up the lingering strains Of
thankfulness and spake of the child to
all those that looked for redemption in
Israel.
Such in brief were some of the pc
culiar circumstances Of that wondrous
advent whose returning anniversary
season finds us in the Christian temple
offering thanks and song and praise to
God. Throughout the ages since then
its influence has grown and broadened
and deepened until the story Of the
Kings coming is told in every zone and
| nation.

Shout aloud hosanna!
Oh, list the Christmas beIlsl
Hearken to the story
Their joyous music tells.
In Bethlehem, Judea,
Bathed in heavens glow,
Lies the Christ, the Saviour,
In a manser low.
Peace, good will, he's bringing
To trusting souls on earth.
Angel hosts are singing
"Glory to God' at his birth.
Lo, the humble shepherds
Join the anthem sweet,
Leave their bIeatins flocks alone
The infant Christ to greet!
Still the bells are ringing,
Sounding forth his praise.
The wise man from the far east
His grateful homage pays.
And we, o King, thy children,
Humbly bend the knee.
Take our lives, o Saviour,
A Christmas gift to thee!

THE DENTIST WANTED
BASE BALL NEWS TODAY
So the Wife Of His Friend the News
paper Man Is Having Her Teeth
Fixed This Afternoon.

This is the story of a dentists en-
gagement, the opening of the world
series of base ball games in Philadel-
phia this afternoon, newspaper man
and his wife.
Newspaper men, as almost every one
knows, are public servants; but the
very large extent to which members of
their families are at times called upon
to share in the responsibilities and dis
tribution of courtesies involved in be-
ing public servant was perhaps never
demonstrated quite SO vividly as 1t was
this afternoon In the Office Of The Star.
The occasion was directly related. of
course, as almost everything else in
the United States is, in some way, this
afternoon, apparently. to what is going
on in Philadelphia.
The wife Of the newspaper man in
question is having her teeth fxed." to
use the old-fashioned phrase, by way
OF long series of dentists engage
ments. A few days ago she inquired of
the dentist:
when shall come again."
The dentist deeply pondered, and
countered: T..
.sWill your husband be at The Star
Office Friday afternoon"
yes: he told me a day or SO ago he
would be-" was the reply.
More pondering. Then came these
fatefu1 words:
We'll. you better come back for your
next treatment Friday afternoon about
o'clock. So far as can see now ]
shall have to do about an hour and a
half or two hours work on your teeth
the next time you come, and you bet
ter tell your husband to remain in The
70 nd fhot vxyt1 hal
through your pain and suffering, If
any, II he will call you up from time
to time at my office and let you know
how the game is going in Phila-
delphia."/
1t just happens that the newspa-
per man is one of the few who are not
greatly interested in base ball; neither
is his wife: but he is a public servant
and the dentist is friend of his, so his
wife Is having her teeth fixed" this
afternoon.
p. S.-The dentist is greatly inter-
ested in base ball.
