The Message of Me Prince
 of Peace

dressing a people who were ever in the midst of dire testing and con stant turmoil. Sin was bringing down upon them the rod of correc tion, and the prophet could see the clearing beyond and the coming rain bow of peace. In our understanding of God we are to distinguish be tween the mist of the world and the bright light of truth, between the darkness of evil and the eternal day time of righteousness. As much diff ference may be suggested, yea, vast ly more, than is in the path of the vi per, and the haven of the eagle; one crawls out it's craven existence while the other is limited only by it's own strength to mount into the heavens from whence it may look down on the unhappy world beneath
 To Understand the times let Us imagine family poor in goods. cramped in circumstances, but rich in opportunity The father is not so well clad as he once was, and his appearance has deprived him of the possibility of service his worth demands. The mother has saved and planned until she can make he; meagre means stretch no further One day a child comes into that home quite unlike other children in the family. As the days pass he i,, in, on11non in hue ness. Soon his successes bring pros perity to the family, and father is eased from drudgery and mothe, from excessive anxiety.

At last he becomes the harbinger of peace; all men flocl to him, for he is given to all men Such was the thought of the prophe as he told the people in the darkes

4 Christmas Meditation
(John 3:16) (By Rev. James T. McQueen,) Pastor of the M. E. Church.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son."
 There is a wonderful contrast both in the manner and the measure of Gods giving and our giving. God gave the best He had to world in rebellion against him; we give to those whom we love and who love us. Someone has said, "the greatest thing God did for man, was to love him and the greatest thing a man can do for God, is, to love one of his children. Love is the fullest and last measure of devotion and ser vice; such was the fight of God, and such was the service of the gift. His gift and service remain the greatest thing in the world today.
 There are special reasons for be- ing glad and happy this Christmas time; the words Peace on Earth, and good will to man." never meant SO much to us as it does at the present time. The sun always shines brightest after a severe storm; and JuSL uOW, dlICI thC vdi NiouN has passed, Jesus the Son of Right eousness, stands forth in the midst of men, the champion of all that is good and pure and just. The man of Gaililee, is thee, man of today. the inspiration of every truly good man. Those were immortal words of the Apostle Paul, in his message to the Philippians, when he said: Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus; who. being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God; but took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of man; and being found in fashion as a man, he hum- bled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the

cross Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him and given him name that is above every name"
 Take all that is Christlike out of life
 and history of man, and they are soon forgotten. Men are truly great
 not as they possess wealth, or learn ing, social or political position, but, only as they reproduce the life of
 Jesus Christ; when men give a life to the world that has the image of Christ stamped upon it, he will ren der humanity a service which will last through two worlds
 God so loved his enemies and His Son taught this in his Gospel; now. the people of Christian America, will have the opportunity, to practice the Gospel, as well as to live it. Those who would have crushed us, will now receive bread from our hands; This was the Apostle Paul. Philosophy of Christianity-"If thine enemy hunger, feed him; and if he thirst give him drink; for in so doing, thou shall heap coals of fire on his head Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good"
 The light of nature was not suf- ficient to reveal the love of God to a sinful world; one was needed to rescue Man, who could take His place among men and share His lot with them One was needed to inspire to the highest and noblest living and lay the foundations for the salvation of future generations. Kings and kingdoms have risen and fallen, but Jesus Christ has succeeded in establishing his kingdom in the lives of men, and the time is hastening
 when His kingdom of this world will become the Kingdom of Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Little Has Been Shipped

Until the latter part of June, virtu-
ally no American goods were ship
ped to Russia from the time the
Bolsheviki emerged from the realm
of idle talking into control of the
destinies of Europe's largest nation.
For nearly six months the flow
of supplies was cut off, and during
the last two months, as far as known,
only relatively small amount of goods
has been shipped there. Though the
government is reported to have some
what relaxed its ban on the shipment
of goods to Russia in the last two
months, no authoritative statement as
to the amount of goods that has been
released has been made. A represent
ativc Of Russian association esti-
mated that the amount of goods
bought and paid for in this country
during the Kerensky regime which were
never shipped FROM the United States,
amounts to $4,000 600. 1t is pointed
out in some quarters that this vast
store of materials would make an ex-
cclent starting point for trade resump-
ton with Russia, and much Of it prob
ably would. But. on the other hand a
great part Of it is railroad equipment
and machinery. which, though they will
be needed eventually, are Of secondary
Importance at present to small tools.
which are needed at once, compel nt
observers say, to save the population
from widespread famine and disaster.

Boston Clearing House Protest

Opposition from bankers in other
cities to the recent ruling of the New

ing collection charge Of one tenth of
l per cent on out-of-town bank accen-
tances passing through the clearings,
has developed into official action by the
Boston Clearing House. This body has
adopted resolution protesting against
the charge as "being excessive, un-
necessary and contrary to the tendency
everywhere prevailing to reduce
charges for exchange to a minimum"
The Boston Clearing House committee
is instructed to send copy of it's me-
mortal to the Federal Reserve Board
at Washington, to the governor of the
Federal Reserve Bank at Boston and TO
the chairman of the Clearing House
committees at New York, Philadelphia.

best to bring about change in the

Relevant Comment
May Start for Siberia This Fall.

Observers of conditions in Russia are
fretting over the hardness of Allied
plans for the economic rehabilitation of
the land of the former Car. 1t has
been pointed out that the Russian win
ter will soon prove bar to effective
aid, and it is already too late to mako
use Of the Northern trade routes.
There is reason to believe, however,
that the American economic policy in
regard to Russia is fast drawing to
focus, and an important statement on
this subject may be forthcoming this
week Moreover, there are indications
that the proposed Russian economic
commission will be promptly named
and may start moving to the emaciated
Slavic country before the first of Octo
Der. 1t is considered probable that
part of the suggested commission will
sit at Washington and part Of it will
60 to Siberia and penetrate as far
westward as practicable. The State
Department, it is understood, has been
taking a lead in devising plans to aid
Russia with life's necessities, but the
entire Cabinet has been vitality con-
cerned with the matter.

Magnitude of Russian Problem

Representatives Of Russian associ-
ations who have been consulted by the
Administration in regard to economic
aid for Russia say that the magnitude
Of the problem has been one of the
prime causes of the delay. To efYec-
lively assist Russia would mean put
ting some 16O,0o0,O0O people on their
feet again, and even the mere starting
Of Russians on the road to economic re-
covery looms up as colossal task.
But those who perceive the Importance
Of Russia and Siberia as reservoirs of
raw materials for which the nations of
the world will have the direst need
after the war regard the problem as
one the Allied nations cannot afford to
shirk. And then, too. the humanitarian
side Of the question has been strongly
brought to the consideration Of the Adj
ministration.

The above rates express the cost Of
foreign money in terms of the Ameri
can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling at, say, s4.7560. The intrinsic
parity is S4.865s per pound. Thus you
say either that pounds are at dis
count or that dollars are at premium,
which is owing to the fact that in Eng
land the demand for dollars with which
to settle accounts in this country is
greater than the demand in this coun-
try for pounds with which to settle &C
counts in England.
