CHRISTMAS IN EUROPE.

THIS month brings strange Christ
mas to all the stricken women of
Europe. For many their genera
tons shall be wiped out. There shall be
weeping in Germany, the home of Kriss
Kringle; and tears in France, groans in
Belgium and sobs in Merrie England. There
shall be lamentations in Austria, and
gloom in Russia, where the reindeer
bounds over the snow with his bells jing-
ling. Though she keep her loved ones
closer to her, not the most alien farm
woman in the United States but will hear
vibrating through her Christmas cheer
the sobs of her sisters.
Theirs will be the saddest Christmas the
world has ever known; for never before
have so many faces been missing from
lands where the Yule log has been so loved.
While the soldiers of Europe are di-
vided into many camps the women of Eu-
rope will have but one country Christmas
night: it is Gods Acre.
Softly the chimes will ring out this Holy
Night. To the warriors they will ring
messages of hope in victory or surcease
from suffering. To women, not only of
Europe but also of the world, these Christ
mas bells will ring out one great message
which the dead have given us, even as the

A CHRISTMAS SERMON.

nEWARE Of uttering pessimistic and
Il cynical remarks about Christmas
joys. If only from motives of van
ity, abstain from grumbling during the
festive season, for nothing so surely fixes
a persons age as disagreeable remarks
about the utter futility and absurdity Of
keeping Christmas However we'll pre-
served, however free from gray hair,
wrinkles and other distressing marks Of
devouring Time, be quite sure that your
Christmas attitude will not give you away.
"Heigho for the holly This life is most
jollyw is the correct attitude. It is the
attitude of the child, and at Christmas
time the immortal child which turks in
every human being wakes to life if we do
not brighten it and allow it to creep back
to it's hiding place for want of encour-
agement.

OUR WHITE DAY.

CHRISTMAS comes, if for nothing else,
to remind us that the best part of
life after all is it's friendships That's
why we speak the merry word shake the

Christmas is the whitest day in all the
year and one has only to watch child
"spend Christmas" in riot of pleasure
and joyfulness to catch the spirit of the
Day. You need a child to watch or a
friend to meet to make the Day complete

the hearts of men are mellowed anew, and
when the multitudes celebrate with &C
claim the birth of the Christ Soon mer-
ry bells will announce to the world, 'The
Day Has Gomez The tongues of thou
sand pealing bells will scatter the news
that the day has dawned.
We tender our good wishes for that
day. May it be the happiest, truest Christ
mas our old world has even seen. May we
think more worthily, feel more deeply,
and do more nobly on this Christmas.
Especially do we wish happiness for
those who must work at their regular
tasks on Christmas day, and for those who
are stricken with sickness or grief. We
wish every heart might be bright on that
day with the Christmas spirit of joy.
In reading The Gazette of Christmas
1915, the editor came across the follow
ing message, taken from word of greet
ing written year ago by James Aiken,
former editor of The Gazette The mes
sage means just as much on Christmas
1916 as on Christmas 1915, and ring just
as truly with the ring of sincerity for
which it's author is so we'll known. Mr..
Aiken says:
Whether you live in Minnesota or
on the Pacific Coast, l reckon we can
all endorse the sentiment recently ex-
pressed by Edna Ferber, that Christ
mas is feeling and not date for most
of us. And this world is not so big that
most of us that are grown up can es-
cape the feeling that this crazy old world
needs to be Jared up to realization
that the babe born at Bethlehem has
grown up and is the only King fit to rule
in this demoralized and war-cursed
planet.
"And wherever you are, if you are
under the protection of Old Glory you
ought to be thankful that the Bethle-
hem king is the only one who has juris-
diction under that banner But all the
same, the realization of the brother
hood of man is going to make the Christ
mas Of 1916 different in America, as it
is in every other civilized country"

TWO BANES OF HUMANITY.

The two great banes of humanity, says
Spinoza, are Incidence and selfconceit.
Self-conceit is so noxious because it ar
rests man in the career of selfimprove-
ment, because it vulgarizes his character
and stops the growth of his intellect. The
Greek oracle pronounced the wisest of men
him who is most convinced of his own ig-
norance. What, then, can be the wisdom
