Revival Among cypsIes.

Rev. Robert Thompson of Samokov
gives in the Orient an account of an
awakening in the gypsy communities
of Bulgaria. The revival has taken
place at Golintsy, and has followed
the preaching of Methodist evangel-
list. Twenty families have constituted
themselves an evangelical church. and
at the dedication of their church build
ing eight more conversions were reg
istered. This gypsy community is fer
vent in spirit and intensely interested
In the spiritual welfare of their neigh.
boris. They delight in the singing of
hymns. They study the Bulgarian BIZ
BILE, but It may be necessary to pro-
vide them with the Scriptures ana
hymns in the Romany-the Gospel of
Luke alone being now available in
their own tongue. A great exterior
reformation has gone with the spirit
ual change. Homes have been i'm
mensely improved-girls AZ well a.
boys are going to school-faces are
clean. daily language has been purged
OF svil-and the whole manner of life
has beer changed and elevated.

AN EXPENSIVE INSTITUTION

the paper crack. and at the end of the
bed you were too content and happy
even to look at your presents. Why
was 1t that next day everybody and
everything was different? The air was
full OF bells singing riotously. Every
one. for this one day. ceased to think
OF his own happiness and found hap
pfness in bringing cheerfulness to
others. The stern gulf which is fixed
between children and grown-ups had
vanished-there weren't any grown
ups. Somewhere in your childish
heart you wondered why every day
couldn't be made day Of kindness.
And that wonder of q child's heart
is the Christmas message. Once
year. by q divine conspiracy, all the
ships Of our hopes and fears turn back
from their voyagings to the harbor of
tenderness. They are borne back on
the crest Of a white tide of mysticism
that sweeps round the world. A truce
of God Is declared to all fightings, and
men and women walk as children
through world that il kind. They
commence to give and cease to annex;
they act in the belief that God il in
his heaven. The spirit is one tremu-
lous white day Of unselflshness- day
which gradually some other days in
the year are learning to envy and imi-
tate.

But Cost Of Christmas Pays Big Re-
turns In Joy and Happiness Of
Children.

Christmas is q very costly institu-
ton. 1t makes deep holes in millions
Of well-filled pockets. Fathers hand
reaches into his pocket more often
In the few weeks before Christmas
than during any other period of equal
extent in the whole year. And lots Of
money goes for presents that. in the
hands Of happy children. last a very
short time. Nightfall Of Christmas
day sees many toys in mangled heaps
that bright and shining and new greet
ed the little folks as they hoped out
Of bed Christmas morning. And mil
lions and millions of things are bought
that never would be, If it were not for
Christmas. But does all this mean that
Christmas is not worth the money 1t
costs, that 1t would be better II the
world did not observe the anniversary
of Christ's birth in the way 1t does?
Nobody in the whole wide Christian
part of the world will say that Christ
mas does not pay for itself. that it is
not worth all 1t costs. and that 1t Is
not q bargain at any price. Where can
be found a father and mother who
feel that they have been cheated by
Christmas. after they hear the CUR.
Cling laughter Of their children. in
ecstasy among their new toys. even If
there had to be skimping and saving of
pennies to buy the little presents?-

THE MYSTERY OF CHRISTMAS
One Day Of the Year That Al Other
Days Are Learning to Envy
and Initiate.

II seems to me that always, as the
Gath of December commenced to
shorten. the white. fleecy snow began
to fall, says a writer in the Crafts
man. When the street lamps flick
cred up like candles on an altar. they
gazed on a world that was white. The
strife of the city was muffled. Carts
went by. but you had to peer out
through the blinds to know that they
were passing-they made no sound.
An atmosphere of gentleness had de-
scended. Everyone in the house went
about with stealth. as though planning
some secret kindness.
And then the night and the trying
to keep awake till Santa Claus should
come. And the waking up. with the
frost weaving patterns on the panes.
Somewhere far away a harp was be-
ing played. and a cornet was challeng.
ing the silence. The tune they played
was an accompaniment to the most
beautiful legend in the world. At
first. dreamily. you tried to remember
why for once the darkness was not
frightening. and then. "Ah. it's Christ.
mas!' As you turned. your feet made
