PAYS A GLOWING
TRIBUTE TO j. s
The Japanese Ambassador to
America Also ReiterateS His
Nations Devotion to the
Cause of Liberty,
t.r MORNING ,ouHa., .rse,.. ,,.s,o w,.,,

New Bedford, Mass, July 4.--Ucre
where AmericanJapanese friendship
began nearly three quarters of a CEN
tury ago, Viscount Ishii the Japanese
am bassador, to-day reiterated his ma
TONS whole-h hearted. devotion 10 the
cause of liberty and paid tribute to
Americas part in the war.
The ambassador presented to the
neighboring township of Fair Haven
Japanese sword of the fourteenth
century as mark Of appreciation of
Kindness shown by the township peo-
PIE IN 1850 to Japanese sailor who
lived here eight years after being
brought in by whales to New Bed
ford. This boy, Manjiro Nakahama,
went back to Japan with story Of his
experiences and of American ways
that paved the way for Commodore
Perry whom he served as interpreter.
The port of New Bedford and Fair
Haven is the cradle of modern Japan
ese civilization and it is In this sense
that the japanese nation feels grate-
full over this historical incident" said
Niscount Ishii. Let me avail myself
of this opportunity to say few words
with regard to the war
Part Japan Is Playing
"As to what part Japan as an ally
has played In the past, is playing act
ually or will be prepared to play in
future ] do not feel justified to enter
in detail. Under no circumstances
should our enemy be given opportun-
ity to draw strategic advantages from
untimely disclosures. Suffice 1t to say
here that Japan is thoroughly pre-
pared to contribute her noble allies
in this terrible war in war which
in her judgment is most efficient and
conducive to the ultimate success or
the common cause.
There Is one thing, however, to
which | would direct your particular
attention and that is the untiring ef-
forts of our enemy to estrange allied
powers one from the other.
The rumor of a possible approach
mcnt between Germany and Japan Is
n fine new specimen of German prop
aganda. 1t is matter of regret that
such a preposterous canard should
find even a momentary credence. 7
am satisfied that. however cIeverly
started and spread, the report itself
betrays utter ignorance of the nation
al character Of the Japanese people,
to whom, whatever other qualities
may be wanting. the chivalrous spirit
and deep sense of obligation have new
er been lacking"

The Good Old Customs

BY all means, so long as they will
endure, let us cling to the old Gus
toms. Up with the holly, the box and
the bay, set the plum pudding ablaze,
light the Christmas tree, scatter greet
ings broadcast through the land, ring
out wild bells to the wide sky and give
encouragement to the carol singers.
Christmas comes but once a year, and
when 1T comes it makes us all kin and
more or less kind. 1t is truly happy
festival, the time when we best under
stand what home means, the children's
feast, when the old grow young again.
A happy Christmas, then, to all.

Test Your Gifts.

CHRISTMAS gifts should be free
~ from frippery, mere temporary
worth, the solely worldly or ma
terial value. This is the first test
genuineness.
The second, Christmas gift should
be in keeping with ones purse-unos-
tentation.
A Christmas gift should display good
taste-carefulness.
A Christmas gift should confer q real
benefit thoughtfulness.
A Christmas gift should produce I'M
feigned pleasure
A Christmas gift should be some
thing you would wish associated with
thoughts of yourself-friendship.
A Christmas gift should, if possible,
be something that can be shared with
others
Christmas gift should, as long as
it lasts, give as much delight as on
Christmas morning quality.
A Christmas gift should be some
thing you yourself would be glad to
possess sincerity.
A Christmas gift should be some
thing you have selected, not something
picked up by chance-heartiness
A Christmas gift should be some
thing you take pleasure in thinking of
afterward as having been given by you
to your friend-satisfactio Chris

The Christmas Rose.
IT was in Ireland heard the beau
tiful legend Of the Christmas rose

7 was in Ireland heard the beau
i tiful legend of the Christmas rose,
says writer in the Philadelphia
Ledger. When the great night came
and the dark skies were suddenly IL
Illuminated with the lights of heaven
the shepherds, gathering together their
offering, went with haste to find him
who had come to be the Light of the
world. Great rough men, full of sim
pie faith, they were, and each carried
a little lamb in his arms to lay at the
feet of the Good Shepherd. But among
them was one wee lad who had no
gift.
All his life long he had heard of the
Messiah who was to come The earth
was full of rumors that the time was
near at hand, and lying out on the
hillside under the deep blue sky he had
dreamed dreams of that day, picturing
himself close to him in many roles.
And now that the moment was come
he raced along, his tiny legs finding it
hard wosk to keep up with the swift,
strong stride of the men.
So full of excitement was he that no
thought of self entered into his mind.
But as he came to the cave, saw the
| bright star shining above and heard
the songs of the angels he noticed his
| empty hands.
How could he go into the presence
of the newborn King when he had
nothing to lay at his feet, he who
would so willingly lay down his very
| life for him! He crept close to the
opening, and, kneeling down in the
cold white snow, he wept as though
his little heart would break.
And, 10, the warm tears melted away
the hard snow, and from beneath there
sprang up the first Christmas rose, the
fruit Of a little boys love for the
Christ Child!

Origin Of the Carol.

Glory to God in the highest and on
earth peace, good will toward men.-Luke
2:4.
Such was the first carol, sung by the
holy angels amid the thrilling scene
so wildly described by the evangelist.
This song is happily used in the COM
munion service as the opening of
Gloria In Excelsis Deo." The word
carol seems to be derived from the
Italian verb carolare-to sing-imply-
ing joy song, an outburst of exuber-
ance. In the time of Chaucer, who
died in 400, this word usually meant
simultaneous dancing and singing.
Gradually its secular origin was be-
clouded, and nowadays a carol general
~ means Christmas song of thanks
giving, though there were formerly not
only Easter carols, but also winter and
even summer carols.-Living Church.

All the Year Round.

Christmas comes all the year. Christ
mas is giving.
Christmas is losing ones life and
finding it again in the heart of another.
Wherever we find good will, HUMANE
ty, fellow feeling, there we find heart
celebrating Christmas. The most deli
cate pleasures of Christmas spring from
the gifts we make to others, from
the happiness we can impart to others,
from the abandonment Of ourselves to
another's Joy.
The more utterly we lose ourselves
In the lives of others the more we are
keeping Christmas. The losing of our
own life, to find it in another, is for
ever the Christmas token. It was of
this the herald angels sang.
1t was this the good shepherds vor-
SHIPPED.
And this is the best way of spending
Christmas.

Christmas Carols at Nantucket

The custom of singing Christmas
carols in the streets still obtains at
Nantucket. Every Christmas eve the
school children march through the old
cobbled streets of the town and sing
their songs.
All the ancient houses are illuminat-
ed with candles in the windows, and
the children always stop and serenade
their favorites. 1t is very pretty to
near them, and they never forget to
sing for what they call the "shut ins''
the folks who are i'll and unable to
get out and join the festivities,

Christmas Means Love.

We cannot picture it without seeing
the spangled Christmas tree girt with
the faces of gleeful youngsters, glad
parents and happy bodies returned
home from town or far metropolis. It
sounds like bells and cracking logs
and shouts of children. And even our
old, round shouldered, sorrow ridden
planet, with his eye knocked out on
his cheek, pauses to smile from sea
to sea, and love is everywhere rejuven-
ated.-James Whitcomb RILEY.

Christmas Gifts

" HE joy that's born of Christmas

Or you or could pick our joys
from any merchants SheIUeS
ana yOu could buy more costly things
than ever could give,
And though no friend should come
your a0ay contented you could
ive
Yet some poor trinket rich becomes
and treasure to the end
Because it is the symbol of q true and
loyal friend.
The thing is nothing as it lies upon q
merchants shelf,
And scarce thought you'd 0tve TO it
for a0hdt 1t is itself.
There z,Gy be thousands like it round
about you everywhere,
But let a friend bring it to you and
strdightaoay it is rare.
For something of that friend into his
simple gift is 1orought
And 1t becomes precious thing-a
token OF a thought.
We are a sentimental clan, 1De fQht

Yet treasures aOhich 1Oe closest guard

The things a0e vd1ue most are not the
gems our money bugs.
But all those saoeet and lovely things
that memory bids as prize.
The faded slippers of babe not in
themselves are dear,
But in the thoughts they bring to us
OF one no longer here.
And so it is a0ith Christmas gifts, tits
friends 1OhO make them rare,
The trife that 10ith love is rich has
