THIS IS FOR YOU

OnCe every year, all over tne
Christian world, there is a celebra-
ton Of the birthday Of our Lord.
II is at Christmas-time. This cele-
bration takes a different form IN
different countries, though in nearly
every land there is the beautiful
custom Of giving gifts-and differ
ent people celebrate in different
ways. To students, Christmas gen.
orally means one thing-vacation
and homel To artists, Christmas
brings TO mind Correggio's Holy
Night" or The Nativity" But TO
music lovers there comes, as first
thought THE Messiah"
THE Messiah" is called an Ora
torioa because its words are taken
from the Bible. But it really is the
most wonderful story you ever
heard-told in the most wonderful
way--a moving picture all displayed
by music. We all like to see
movies" 1t doesn't take much
mind or thought just TO look at
pictures. But when it comes TO see
ing pictures through our ears, we
are apt TO miss a slide now and
then, or we even may fail TO see any
thing of them at all.
On the 18th of December the Har-
monia Society is going TO sing, for
the Berea students and friends, this
most wonderful story-"The Mes
siah." II you can imagine il, the
screen will be one hundred and
fifty voices. Professor Rigby will
be the man who runs the machine.
and the story will be the Life OF
Christ.
Like many stories, this one be-
gins with an introduction-and this
introduction takes one way back
into the centuries before the birth
of Christ when the sages were
prophesying that there would come
TO earth man who would be the
Son Of God-the Messiah. So the
music starts slowly and softly, and
a solo voice sings hopefully Of the
time when there should come 10
dark minds the Spirit OF Light and
Peace and JOY. Comfort ye my
people," he sings; then with in
creasing inspiration-"Every valley
shall be exalted" and the music
flashes back joy for joy in real ex-
altation. Then, as if all the world
caught the spirit the whole chorus
sings-"And the Glory Of the Lord
shall be revealed, for the Lord hath
spoken IT,"
Many prophets tell OF the coming
OF the Lord, in those days before He
appeared. One sings that He is like
a refner's fire, and the music RACES
and flames like the real tests that
come to US in life. Then another
tells in that simple way, which Is
the beautiful way, that a virgin
shall bear a son and shall call His
name Emanuel, which means God
with us"-and cries 10 the cities OF
Judah TO behold their God that the
glory OF the Lord is risen upon
them. And another sings OF the
gross darkness OF earth that is TO
be dispelled by the Light OF the
Lord, and truly, never were dark
ness and light more vividly por-
trayed than by those dull minoe
chords leading up 10 the smooth
exquisite flow OF major harmony.
Then as the time Of the fulfilment

Washington.-Dr. Alexander Gra-
ham Bell, inventor of the telephone,
has round way to cool house and
make it comfortable on the hottest day
of the year. Recently while other
Washington people were sweltering he
worked in a room which had been
cooled to IS degrees. His plan, which
can be used by anybody, is to store ice
In the garret and conduct the cooler
air to rooms below.
Explaining his discovery to the Ma
tional Geographic society, Doctor Bell
declared: You heat your house In
winter why not cool it in summer?
We get up to the arctic regions and
heat our houses and live. We go down
to the tropics and die.
'1 have found one radical defect In
the construction of our houses that
absolutely precludes the possibility OF
cooling them to any great degree. You
will readily understand the difficulty
when you remember that cold air is
heavier than warm air. You can take

carry it about in the summer time and
hot spill a drop, but If you make hole
In the bottom of the bucket, of course
the cold air will all run out.

possible to apply the bucket principle
at least to one room In my Washing

to be advisable to close up all open
ings near the bottom of the room to
prevent the escape of cold air, and
open the windows at the top to let
out the heated air of the room.

TO SAVE LIFE IN MINES

lion miners in the United States more
than a hundred thousand are well
trained in emergency first-aid work
and have been instrumental In saving
many lives in and around mines. It
is said to be frequent occurrence for
hospital surgeons upon receiving an
injured miner to declare that the first
aid treatment received in the mine
from the miners had undoubtedly
saved the mans life.
These first-aid teams are scattered
throughout the United States where
mines are found, and are the results
of the pioneer work of the bureau OF
mines in maintaining a mlne-rescue
car or station in each of the mining
fields for the purpose of training these
men.
