4 CHRISTMAS WALK

In silvery softness the anthem closed
Like a slowly silenced bell:
The sacred calm of a peace divine
Like a benediction fell;
And out on the morning light that spread
A glimmer of amber gray,
/ walked with Margery home from church
On an old, old Christmas Day.
A bland. mild day-for the rugged month
Had chosen a kindly mood,
Like a wonderful mellow aftermath
From the Autumn's plenitude.
With scarcely a tang of wholesome cold
Did the Winters breezes blow,
AS Margery walked from church with me
On a Christmas long ago.
The earnest words that had touched our
hearts
The warnings, kindly and wise
Had left shadow of tenderness
In Margery's violet eyes;
The merry, hoydenish maid I'd known
For a tWelvemonth's flying space,
Had taken on that old Christmas Day,
A new and womanly grace.
As through the tremulous opal clouds
That shifted and swayed apart.
A sun ray lighted the rosy face.
The wish was born In my heart
That down the trail Of the unspent years,
Whatever their trend might be,
The soft-eyed maiden beside me then,
Might walk to the end with me.
Absently watching the velvet flakes
BY the white gale set awning.
I breathe the spirit Of other years
While the bells of Yuletide ring;
And near me, smiling with happy eyes
At our children's romping play,
IL the girl who walked from church with
me
On that old, sweet Christmas Day.

LESSON OF CHRISTMAS DAY
Example Of Christ Should lnspire Un'
seIfishness and Make Us Try to
Remedy Faults.

Christmas should inspire world OF
unselfshness. The example before us
is almost too perfect, for 1t rather
frightens us to attempt such divine
heights of self-abnegation, but we can
try. 1t will at least take us from the
depths of selfishness, where most OF US
now are. Each Christmas day should
teach US something Of the lesson OF
the Holy Childs life.
If we could learn from Christmas,
today and in the succeeding years the
serious lessons Of self-betterment and
ennoblement it has to offer, how IN
finitay better it would be than just
to look on it as holiday for gifts and
feasts, for extravaganza and foolish
ness.
So take an hour or two on on
Christmas day and give it up to retro
spective and self-inspectiOn. You Will
each find faults, if you Judge yourself
impartially, for no ono is perfect. Then
make a serious determination to try
to overcome these faults, for only try
ing to improve is there any growth In
character. II you are satisfied With
yourself you stay just rs you are with
all your faults and virtues. But II
you try hard to remedy the faults your
character is constantly growing brood
er. This is the lesson which Christ.
mas day has for each Of you.

Valuable information on one fea-
ture Of the cotton industry could be
furnished by the respective govern
ments, Mr. Austin said, by more
frequent reports upon the manufac-
turing industries. The United
States in its quinquenniaI censes of
manufacturers shows the number of
cotton mills employees and wages
paid, the consumption of raw mate
rial and the quantity and value Of
the different classes manufactured.
But this census could at a relative

A League of Cotton Nations was

need cries aloud over a warshaken

raising Of cotton The spinning of
cotton concerns such as England,
but the world supply of cotton, of
machinery of yarns and fabrics is
a world affair. By world fedora

the consumer and the producer.
Although the peace treaty safe
guards the Allies from German con-

German domination in the feld re-
