THINGS THE WAR
CANNOT DESTROY.

The December Woman's Home Com
pdniOB says:
THE war, with all its changing eff
fort, and need and sorrow and sacri-
flee, and massive %endeaVor, will pass
by at last, and new problems will con-
front us; but the old human glories
and immortalities-love, brotherhood,
devotion, kindness, understanding,
gentle wisdom, undergraduates, and
high endeavor-these will remain on,
permanent and full of promise to the
soul. 1t is these | would ask you not
to forget or ignore in planning for
your soldiers Christmas, no, nor in
spending your W Christmas here at
home; some gift and %salutation for the
spirit, and some generous spending of
our w spirits, some giving, on our
own part, of the very things III men
have many of them given, for our
sakes, and SO generously.
always l take a look each veal at
the unchanging Christmas stars; the
same through so many, many chang
ing ages, shining like symbols of the
lovely things of the spirit that endure;
hut it seems to me they will mean
more to me this Christmas than ever
they have meant before, when l shall
remember-as how, indeed, could we
forget-the thousands upon thousands
of soldiers who under what changed
and changing conditions are maintain
ing the old and lovely things that en-
dure, and who are perhaps looking UP
at the Christmas stars, also"

HOW ONE WOMAN FEELS
ABOUT THE WAR.

The prize winner of the contest
What the War Has Done to Me AL
ready" conducted by The American
Magazine, says in the December issue:
ALREADY the wal has done to me
the worst it can do-and the best. The
boy that l loved more than all others
has been taken from me. He fell at
Verdun, desperately wounded; but be-
cause he valued the life of a comrade
who had been struck by the same shell
more than his own safety he would
not be attended to until his friend had
been cared for. When his turn came
it was too late.
For days l was bitterly rebellious.
He vas only twenty-one; and he had
so much to give to the world. Why,
why, of all the millions there, must he
have been sacrificed?
""Then there came letters, wonderful
letters, which he had written in his
last days. If you could know he said,
how happy l am in the midst of all
this horror! Every time l know that
| have made it a little easier for one
of my blesses, every time one smiles
at me gratefully, or murmurs "Merci,
monsieur" it thrills me as nothing
else ever has. I'm helping; I'm doing
France a service; in caring for her
brave wounded, l am contributing my
mite in this great defense of the weak.
If I don't come through alive-well,
it's all right. Nothing that l could
ever live to do seems to me compare
BILE to giving myself for France and
Humanity. You mustn't grieve, for
shall have served in a great cause
gladly"

AT THE FALL OF THE CURTAIN.
From Blackwood's Magazine.

From Blackwood's Magazine.
The curtains falling and the lights
burn low,
So, with Gods help, Pm ready now to
go.
I've seer life's melodrama, paid the
price,
Have known its loves and losses,
hopes and fears,
The laughter and the tears,
And now, God knows, l would not see
it twice.
I've crossed life's ocean, faced the
binding foam,
But now Heaven whispers I'm nearing
home;
And though a storm-tossed hull reach
the shore,
A thing of tattered sheets and broken
spars. ~
Naked against the stars,
1 soon shall be at peace forever more.
For if again Ifpass these waters
through, -
l know the kingdom am sailing to,
What boots it where l lie-beneath the
sod,
Or down the dark, impenetrable deep,
Where wayworn seamen sleep?
All gates are good through which we
pass to God.

A VOICE FROM HEAVEN.

Mr.. Sturgeon, when he was about
to preach at the Crystal Palace, had
doubts about making himself heard by
so immense an assembly as was ex-
Palace shortly after noon one day to
make a test speech. Standing on
the spot from which he would preach,
he recited in his we'll known tones, the
following passage of Scripture: "This
is a faithful saying, and worthy of all
acceptation, that Christ Jesus came
into the world to save sinners" Hav-
ing spoken these words, he left the
building, apparently satisfied with it's
acoustic properties. A few days later
a poor laboring man attended an Eek
perience' meeting in the district, and
with much confidence told how he had
been converted. He said he was so
bad that he thought he could not be
saved. But he had spent a dinner
hour in the crystal palace, praying be
hind one of the statues, and as he
prayed he distinctly heard a voice
from Heaven say, This is a faithful
saying, and worthy of all acceptation,
that Christ Jesus came into the world
to save sinners" From that moment
he vas converted. Little did he know
of Mr.. Spurgeon, or Mr.. Spurgeon of
him,

Dufresnay's
Christmas
Awakening
Christmas morning of the year
y 1851 M. Dufresnay's apartments

IN Christmas morning of the year
~ 1851 NJ. Dufresnay's apartments
were in some confusion. Mon
sieur himself as he slept on a spindle
legged sofa was not the very image OF
order. His rose colored satin coat was
under his head, and his silk stockinged
calves dangled over the end of his all
too brief bed. The cards of yesterday
and yesternight bestrewed the floor.
He was disturbed by the insistent
tinkling of a bell. Dufresnay groaned
and struggled to his feet.
On opening the door he beheld a
very beautiful young lady quantity dis
guised as a working m and carry
ing a large basket such as laundresses
use. Dufresnay retreated in confusion,
bowling profoundly and wrestling with
his coat.
II pray you pardon me, mademoiselle.

And I pray you, monsieur, not to
mock me-" she replied, with a wry lit
