WRAPPING THE GIFTS.

Are you among the fortunate
number who have completed
their Christmas purchases and
have them all neatly and dainti-
ly wrapped and labeled and
placed in a large box or a draw
err to await the proper moment
when they are to be started on
their way by mail, messenger
or, perchance, personal delivery?
If you are not, what are you do
ing with the little gift which
you purchase or complete each
day and add to the growing pile?
Are you carefully wrapping each
one after inclosing a pretty
Christmas greeting card with
soft white or gayly decorated
Christmas paper? One cannot
help but feel that those little
remembrances which are re-
ceived, all thoughtfully and ar
tistically wrapped with a bit Of
holly or poinsettia paper and
bound with red, green, white or
holly ribbon and choicely lab

lives are like the Dead sea. If
you would have the joy of
Christmas, you must find it in
doing what Jesus did. He went
about doing good. No one will
ever find the Christian secret of
a happy life save by trying to
make it easier for others to do
right and harder to do wrong.
There is poy in lifting any,
burdens of others, as the little
girl found it who was carrying
her baby brother across the
street. He was almost as big
as she was.
isn't he heavy?" asked a
passer-by.
ooh, no; he's my brother"
You cannot be a Christian
without being a good fellow in
the sense of trying to help 9TH
ers to be good, or, as someone
has put it, Except you erect
the cross in your own heart,
Jesus will profit you nothing"

CHRISTMAS GRATITUDE.
A Christmas Sermon by Rev.
Billy Sunday; Gratitude
The Inspiration.

Nineteen hundred years ago a
star poised above a lowly man
ger in Bethlehem, and above the
moonlit hills of Judea the an
gels heralded the beginning OF
the life of Jesus Christ upon
this earth. And once more the
birthday of the Saviour ap-
proaches.
How fast these festal days
follow one another! Only few
days ago | was penning a
Thanksgiving day message. Now
we are looking forward with
happy hearts and bright antici-
pations to Christendom's great
gift-giving day.
Gratitude inspires in us the
grace of giving.
Gratitude is the great orig
inal source of noble living and
service, just as sin is the orig
inal source and root of all sell
fishness. The great all-seeing
eye of God, as it surveys this
planet, with all its scenes OF
revelry and it's riot of sin, be-
holds but one fostering ulcer
selfshness-and gazes upon one
thing of great beauty-gratitude
which recognizes in every need
of man the voice of God.
The immortal Frances 3. Will
lard said: 81 regard ingratitude
as one of the basest of sins"
The Psalmist said: what
shall render unto the Lord for
all his goodness to me?" Then
answers his own question by
saying: 81 will take the cup of
salvation and call upon the name
of the Lord"
Never before have we so seri-
ously faced the question OF our
obligation to Almighty God,
There are thousands of heavy
hearted, world-worried men and
women who will never find life
worth living until their lives are
linked with Jesus Christ.
There is no safety save in ser
vice. We must use or lose. The
Dead sea gives nothing out, and
that's why it is dead. Many

eled and sealed with the num-
erous attractive little stickers
which come for this purpose,
mean more in their detail of
taste and care than all the hand
some and wonderful gifts which
time and money can produce
without these final touches.
Then make the offering as sim
pie and inexpensive as you
choose, but if you would convey
to your friend an atmosphere of
thought and remembrance take
a little time each day to COM
plete the arrangement for each
friend before laying it aside
with the other gifts. Not only
will the preparation of the gifts
take on additional interest to
you, but it will make the last
days of hustle and excitement
less arduous, and then, too, you
will not be piling into the post
office or the express office all
your various bundles at one
time, but will be prepared to
start many of them on their way
in advance of the last rush and
thus avoid the often inevitable
delay which means belated greet
ings and, worse than all, pack
ages which give the appearance
of hasty arrangements and lack
of thought.

Letters Prominent Physicians Addressed Chas Fletcher

Dr. W. F. Wallace, of Bradford, N. H., says: "I use your Castoria in my practice, and in my family"
 Dr. Wm. J. McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: GAS the father of thir- teen children I certainly know some thing about your great medicine and aside from my own family experi- ence, I have, in my years of practice, found Castoria a popular and eff cient remedy in almost every home" "
 Dr. Howard James, of New York City, says: "It is with great pleasure that I desire to testify to the medici- nal virtue of your Castoria. Ihave used 1t with marked benefit in the case of my own daughter, and have obtained excellent results from it's administration to other children in my practice"
 Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadel- phia, Pa., says: "The name that your Castoria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcelyneedst to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical pro- fession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excel lent remedy"
Norwich bulletin., 1916-07-01

Dr.W. L. Leister, of Rogers, Ark, says: "As a practicing physician I use Castoria and like 1t very much"
 Dr. W. T. Seeley, of Amity, N. T., says: "I have used your Castoria for several years in my practice and have found it a safe And reliable remedy"
 Dr. Raymond M. Evarts, of Santa Ynez, Gal, says: "After using your Castoria for children for years it annoys me greatly to have an ig- norant druggist substitute some thing else, especially to the patients disadvantage, as in this case. l en- close herewith the wrapper of the imitation"
 Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo-, says: "Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary prepara- tions, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. prescribe your Cas- toria in my practice because l have found it to be thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. Any physician who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recommendation of Casto- ria"
Norwich bulletin., 1916-07-01

Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chicago, H., says: q have prescribed your Castoria often for infants during my practice and find it very satis- factory"

 Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich, says: "I prescribe your Cas- toria extensively as I have never found anything to equal it for chil- dren's troubles. I am aware that there are limitations in tho field, but I always see that my patients get Fletcher's.
 Dr. Channing H. Cook, of Saint Louis, Mo-, says: "I have used your Castoria for several years past in my own family and have always found it thoroughly efficient and never objected to by children, which is 8 great consideration in view of the fact that most medicines of this character are obnoxious and there fore difficult of administration.
