THE CHRISTMAS GIFT

future. The cross has been gloritied
by the spirit of sacrifice eNemplilied
in these days Of trial, and shines with
aew luSter down the pathway of the
aming years. Without regard to
race or color or station in life men
and women all over the world have
given their best even TO life itself
for "others. Such sowing in
tears cannot fail &c bring forth a
"reaping in JOY" that coming genera
tions shall greet with songs Of
praise and thanksgiying. The glow
ing prophecy OF Isaiah shall be full
.illed in which he wrote The Spirit
Of the Lord is upon me, because he
hath anointed me TO preach good
ridings unto the meek, he hath sent
me TO bind up the broken-hearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives
and the opening Of the prison to
them that are bound-to comfort all
that mourn"
A True Gife.
The value Of our fits to one
another arises from the spirit in
which they are made. To give
simply because such is the custom,
or to fulfill social obligation may
have very little signifaance-may
indeed become hypocri ieal. "The
gift without the giver is bare
To give for display or TO give be-
vcnd ones means is vain. Such
giving confers no blessing on either
the giver or the recipient. The true
gift must carry with it something Of
/ The giver and its true acceptance
| kindles or renews some degree of
I friendship or love. True giving, then
is an expression of a personal re-
lationship By our gift we may often
convey a thought where words
might fail The engagement ring
becomes bauble unless it is the
expression of sincerity, But truly
given and received it carries with il
4 weight of affection which time but
increases.
Now in the light of these thoughts
consider the words of the text
Why did the Apostle call Gods gift
"unspeakable?" He simply means
that words fail to tell its signifl-
cance. No language can express
no angel song can carry in Its
heavenly melody, Gods love fol
men. 1t outweighs speech. Thai
God has loved the world may be seer
by every right-minded person in the
world itself; there is so much in the
world to express the love of it!

VIM. s. HART IN PLAY OF KENTUCKY FEUDISTS

In The Apostle of Vengeance" Fri angle feature which will be seen at the Coliseum Theatre tomorrow night William s. Hart is seen in a story that is different from anything in which he has heretofore appeared.
 "The Apostle of Vengeance" a dIa- ma from the pen of Monte Katter- john, is a tale of Kentucky mountain feudists and has been handled with the realism characteristic of Inco productions. Its many tense scenes are framed in settings of unusual picturesqueness, thus combining two of the most important elements in photoplay ptoduction.
 Hart is cast as David Hudson. a minister who is the eldest son of a sturdy Kentucky mountaineer. He is brought face to face with the problem of choosing between aveng- ing the death of his father killed in a feud battle, and abiding by the scriptural teaching that ITO me be Tongeth vengeance and recompense. HIS ueSisioh ioihS tne DIS SceHV NA the story and how he succeeds ulti. mately in restoring order among the warning factions is forcefully depict ed throughout the remainder of the play.

article entitled spending Too

a responsive chord in numbers

mail.
What puzzles me is certain
inconsistency on the part Of the
young men who have written
these letters. For while they
evidently take pride in achieving
a reputation as good spenders,T
at the same time they deeply re-
sent what they call the "hold-up."

that they possessed a certain

times, sometimes alone and some
times with a party, and it is al
ways the same.
"She lounges in her chair, hardly
answering a question, looking like
a splendid thunder cloud, til
the eats appear. As one Of the
boys said, All her smiles are for
the lobster Newburg, not for the
lobster who pays"
I wonder if the girl in question
can be aware of this repulsive
fault, probably not, or she would
make some surface attempt to
control her greediness, or, at
least, temper this unpleasant
manifestation.

I am n young girl OF twenty

several months I realized he vas

not realizing that l cared for him.
and thinking my education, which
was not completed. should come

love was mentioned to me. At
length he decided there was no
chance OF winning me and In a
moment OF anger enlisted in the
army. Since he has gone his way

It would be entirely proper for
you to write to the young man and
let him see by the tone OF your
letter that you have changed your
mind In regard to him. AS he
cared for you deeply 1t Is very
probable that he will not have
found consolation IN the meantime.

a most awful confession to make.

every human being has some gift
or some talent for doing at least
one thing a little better than any
one else in the world I find this
true Of others, but try as ! win, !
can't think Of anything ! could do
so well that some one else could
not do it better,

came from one who pitied herself
so much and had dwelt on her
imaginary failures so long that she
has grown morbid, but please be-
heve me, Mrs. Woodrow, this is
not the case. Even the work am
doing now is not entirely satisfae-
tory to my employers, despite the
fact that / try harder than any
Of my co-workers. At manual

and my mental abilities give me
no reason for Dragging. am

plishing these days. Is there any
