Date Of the Birth of Christ.

I'm looking through n reference book
I find the birth of Jesus Christ took
place in the year 4 B. C. How could
it possibly be?' asked a correspondent
q the Philadelphia Press.
To which the reply was made:
THE attempt to date things forward
and backward from the birth Of Christ
was first made in 533 A. D. by Ro-
man abbot, Dionysius Exigus. He re-
garded Christ's birth as taking place
in the year 754 after the founding of
Rome. Early Christians had put 1t in
the year of Rome $50.
1.-THE abbot's belated attempt to date
things from Christ's birth was prob
ably inaccurate, and the proper defini-
milton of the Christian era Is that it be-
gins with January in the fourth year
of the one hundred and ninety fourth
Olympiad and the seven hundred and
fifty-third from the founding of Rome.
According to the latest computation,
Christ was born in the year 6 B. G. or
the year Z B. c."

Che Season
Of Peace

TIME whole air ut the first Christ
mastide was tremulous with JOY.
1t was II time for holy song, for
inspired paean, for seraphic song. Let
Joy come still to our homes and hearts.
Christ gives u brightness and beauty,
gladness and glory, to the whole circle
of life and duty. Come, Lord Jesus.
There shall be room for three in our
homes. Once there was none In the
inn. but only in the stable. Now our
best Is thine. Only honor US with thy
beneficent presence.
Let us away with strife Mt this sea-
son. Now is the time to speak kindly
words. Let us not carry into the new
year the enmities Of the old. Let not
the harsh notes of contention come
into the heavenly song of peace.
Christ came to give peace. and from
heavens throne today he bends to give
peace to all who trust him. He was
the only person ever born into the
world who had his choice as to how he
should come. He might have come
man, as did the first Adam. He came
a babe. He inserted himself into our
race at its lowest and weakest point.
If he were to lift the race he must
get under 1t. He glorified the cradle =:
he glorified boyhood; he sanctified
motherhood.
But Christ must be born in each
heart in order that we may have a true
Christmas. Are we rejoicing in the
gifts of human love? Shall we be
mindful of him who is the "unspeak-
able gift?"-Rev. DR.. Robert s. Mac.

HIS HOME IN STATE OF WAR
No Peace for a Teuton Whose House
Was Divided Against
Itself.

A policeman found a man leaning
weakly against a lamp post the other
night. He was carrying lOpsided load
of alcohol. Fearing he would overflow
and freeze, the cop gave him a gentle
nudge with his night stick.
"Get out of here and go home" he
ordered.
81 can't" wept the man with a
strong Teutonic flavor, 81 wish was
dead. 1 come from Bavaria, my wife
she is French, and her mother, who
lives by us, is Swiss. My eldest girl
got married to an Italian, and my 9TH
er one to a Dane, and now since this
country looks like it goes to war, my
three sons say they are Americans.
What do I want to go home for-to
get killedT
The cop rubbed a thoughtful finger
across his face.
"Well," he said, "it's agin regula-
tiOns, but you got to go somewhere" "
and he eased him gently into the
back entrance of a saloon and put him
in a chair.
The wOe-begOne Teuton wept loud

Makes Sales Record.

OF the 5000 electric irons put out
on trial by an electric company recent
ly at Youngstown, o., only three came
back. The men in the sales depart
ment believe the company's policy of
requiring customers to return irons
themselves is responsible for this en-
viable record. The irons are put out
on Is days free trial, and If the Gus
toners ask for terms the payment is
spread over two or three months.
While it is thought that many irons
would be lost through this method, the
records show that the money for only
four irons out of the 5000 could not
be collected. The people who had ac-
cepted these four irons on trial moved
out of town before the first payment
was due.

The United States could equip and

or S'OOO'OOO Russian troops, for a year

And that $3,G00OOOOOO would not
more than equal the sum which the
United States has already made out of

A Few years ago a French military
critic said it cost $4,000 to kill one
soldier in war.
1t has cost the allies about $4,000
to kill one Of their foes in the pres
ent war.
These estimates take no account of
