HOW DID MEN LEARN TO TALK.

From the Book of Wonders.
 Taking and the words used came into being through the desire of msf to com .municate with each other Before words became known and used man talked to those about him by the use of signs, ges- lures and other movements of the body Even today when men meet who cannot talk the same language they will be seen trying to come to an understanding by the use of signs and gestures and gener- ally with fair results. The need of more signs and gestures to express constantly increasing number of objects and thoughts led to the introduction of sounds or combination of sounds made with the vocal cords to accompany certain signs and gestures. In this way man event. ually developed a very considerable fac ulty for expressing himself.
 Sign by sign. gesture by gesture and found by sound language was slowly de- veloped man would be trying to ex- plain something to another by sign or gesture and to make it more clear would make sound or combination of sounds to put more expression into his efforts. Finaly the other man would understand what was meant and he would tell some one else, using the same signs, gestures and sounds.
 Later on it~would develop that to ex- press thus any certain thought, acs or the name of a thing, all of the people in the community would make this same combination of sounds, signs and ges- lures to express the same thing. Finally the gestures and signs would be dropped and it was found that people understood perfectly what was meant when only the sound or combination or sounds was produced1 That made a word.
 Al. the other words were made sn the same way, one at time, until we had enough words to express all the ordinary things and the combination of words be- came a language. The children learned the language by hearing their parents talk it and that is how men learned to talk.

Let There Be No Children
 Whom Santa Claus Forgot.

1OHIL MAY is in his grave, but O his pictures survive, portray ing with the touch of genius the humor and pathos of childhood. It is no wonder that London loved him, which means the English people.
 There is one masterpiece of the artist that has an irresistible appeal at Christmas. It is entitled For gotten." No doubt it has been re- produced many, many times, but men who operate newspapers will continue to bring it forth from year to year, for it will always be applicable to the poor and friendless little ones until there is an end to poverty and heart ache on earth
 The scene is a garret, early Christ mas morning. A child who climbed out of bed with eager anticipation on the day when all the world is supposed to be happy and dark shadows are banished, has discovered that, there is nothing in the stocking hung up for the visit of Santa Claus. Seated at rough table, in a patched nightgown, with one arm outstretched land hand holding forlornly to the empty stocking, the child's head is bowed in the bitterest of all disap- pointments that children know.
 More eloquent than many sermons Ion Christmas giving, Forgotten re- minds those who are blessed with the means to make others happy that their first duty, after their own loved ones are provided for, is to see that there are no forgotten children any where.

BEGINNING THE DAY-we would humbly pray this morning as little children that we may sec the Christ Child. May we see Him in the gifts that come to us and recognize HAm always as the gift beyond compare. May we see Him in those we help the poor, the lonely. May we meet Him in our own hearts being born anew into another human life. Amen.-H. M. E.
