in all communities was eXplain-
ed TO the first conference OF
State Fuel Administrators here
yesterday by Federal Admins
traitor Garfield. The State oili-
GERS were advised concerning
their task OF selecting State
committees, which in turn will
name local committees to nc,
tually supervise the profit OF
local dealers, and instructed in
the plan worked out for reguir-
ing the return of uniform for

crage margin in 1915, and il is
the business OF the local com

complied with.
DIR. Garfield advised the con-
ference to avoid politics, and
said that TO avoid criticism no
coal dealer should be appointed
on a committee, though one

not forget the real. intense meaning
for us OF tho fact that Jesus Christ
was born into the world and this Is
the day We celebrate in memory of
that great event.
Very much will we be impressed. IL
We stop TO consider the matter. that
the finger of God is directing the af-
fairs Of men. just as much In the
year 1917 as back in Bible times
The holy records trace that influence
plainly for US and he Is indeed a
blind man who cannot figure out the
rest for himself This does not mean
that every human event will turn out
precisely as we I'm human wisdom
deem that 1t should Sometimes
things happen that seem to us
very wrong 1t looks like wrong
triumphs and right is trodden In the
dust. Many peoples OF earth, under
tho name OF Christian civiliZat tion,
have been crushed In the onward
sweep OF victorious nations. and we
knve wept for the oppressed and
wondered why God let such things be.
Yet looking back at these things from
the light of history we can sec that
what seemed n great injustice has
worked out for the ultimate better
ment Of all nations. Each one has
become n chapter in tho unfolding
of Gods purposes toward mankind.
Even so in the dark cloud that now
hangs over the world and bids fair
to make our Christmas less happy
than many others is but a new and
magnificent chapter In the redemp-
ton OF the earth, and out OF II will

they fear II involves the sacrifice of
things to which they are attached.
They may not wear n crown like
Herod, but everyone of US has some
thing that he needs to give up before
he can get right with God. Perhaps
you are bent on having a good time,
and you have conceived the error
that being a Christian IS something
sad and mournful Nothing is farther
from the truth. yet unless for the
sake of Gods favor we can cheerfully
resign any earthly JOY, we are not
1T to be his children. For on this
first Christmas day there came into
the world the Son of God TO begin
his task of taking upon himself the
penalty for mans sinfulness and
opening for man the way to eternal
life. No man ever made such sacri-
flee as this. Men have died for other
men, their friends. but here was deity
taking upon himself death and dis
grace and the pangs OF hell for =
benefit Of n race that was as yet at
enmity with him and his purpose
Can we find any reasonable excuse
for not rendering TO him the utmost
service ard devotion - which we
are capable2
And with too many more religion
is n perfunctory thing. We know 1t is
right to be pious. but our hearts are
not In Il. II is an outward semblance
TO satisfy our consciences, at the
same time we get no JOY or comfort
except the APPROVAL of our fellows who
cannot see the heart. And "a Christs
coming was watched for by these
men from afar, those near by, the
chosen people of the promise, were
unconscious and indifferent of the
great event Many time the watch
fuiness and zeal of those who are
theoretically at distance from God
shame us who are near but dull of
comprehension and careless OF duty
and opportunity. How many or US
have made our reading OF tho proph-
cts only an intellectual exercise and
our study of Christ a cheerless duty.
How can we expectNto be awake and
ready when the blessings OF God come
our way. Religion is not alone an
intellectual training-it is a spiritual
conception, and to those who look
for spiritual light the Bible Is always
ready and ample to satisfy. Do not

Open Evenings
Until Christmas

point u Is we'll to remember I'm this
connection that tho Bible. inspired
as It was, was planned and written
with specific object in view. and It
was not necessary for the accom-
pushment Of that object that every
thing should be told Neither was
II to be expected that the sacred
writer's should go beyond their tlmo
to explain the things which the human
race has gradually worked out by its
own effort, Tho one idea Of the
Bible was the fan and redemption OF
man, all other things therein are
matters leading up to some phase OF
