The churches of the city will cele-
brate the birth of the Christ child in
a fitting manner next Monday evening
and Tuesday. Special services have
been arranged at all the churches.
Despite the fact that many of our men
have left for the front in the inter-
ests of our country there is cause to
be joyful when we stop to consider
that as yet the casualties have not
been great. 1t will therefore be time
to give thanks to Him who guides our
destinies that he has as yet spared US
from great losses, and time for sup
plication and prayer, that the loved
ones gone may be returned unharmed.

Japanese politics and is attracting
great attention during the pending

the famous Mrs. Akiko Yosano. the
champion OF greater rights for women
