 The prospects for the New Year" Miss Chandler declared, "are brighter and more encouraging than ever be- fore The recent financial campaign for the Young Women's Christian as- sociation resulted in a realization of far more money than we started out to raise and this alone proves that people are more interested in our work than formerly.
 "Roseate dreams for the future are filling our hearts," Miss Chandler con tinued. and particularly in our edu- cational department. We hope in com ratively few years 10 have this de- partment of our local Young womens Christian association second to none of its size in America We mean to have 1t well equipped-weli organized and well managed. and we want our Young Women's Christian association girls to know that not only have they the best Advantages in our physical department. in our club department, in our home department; not only can they enjoy the good fellowship of the social life of the Young Women Chris tan association, but that primarily, they must regard the Young Women Christian association as an education al factor reaching out and touching every phase of life and meeting every need of the association girl"
 And so." Miss Chandler said, "the Young Women Christian association feels today that on the eve of this glorious Christmas
 The stars on high are singing too;
 The world is all song of light: A new hope lamps the way'for you And angel whisperings fill the night. The morning of the dreams of youth Is gleaming on the hills of snow. And fancy,vies again with truth As in life's glodcn long ago. And in that song of star and sun, / And moon and whirling planets all, The messages of morning run And, ah, how sweet their murmurs fall. {. The magic of thousand things So dear and sweet to life's best hour Is in the lay the whole world sings As love comes Apriling to flower.

 When every smiling face is sweet.
 And showering gifts denote how shine The glories of this day that meet
 In archng radiance divine,
 There is tripping in the soul
 A bubbling in the heart as when
 Upon green slopes of dawn we'd roll And ropp the pathways of the glen. The aching and the weary din
 Turns youthward--and the stars on

 Sing still of love we cannot buy

Christmas dt the Y. ". c. A.

m IT OW to keep the best Christmas IHI is question that serious. earn e = est Christians ask themselves every year. That many go on keeping the old kind, the kind to which they have become accustomed is not wholly to their discredit, because the old kind may be very happy sort, and it is no sin to be happy, although some of us feel that it may be so. If we have done what we could to make others happy. have remembered some who have less than we have to give them a merry Christmas, it is right to be hap py and to make our own household happy, too.
 I suppose that we are all more or less selfish in our ways of keeping Christmas because it has become so much a family festival. Easter, for example. does not seem to be so per sonal a feast Christ rose from the dead to give everlasting life to all; we feel that, and make Easter a more religious day than Christmas. Christ was born to save us all; we know that too, but the idea of His coming as a little child, a helpless baby dependent upon the care of others, makes the birthday of Christ more of a family celebration.
 In our own little ones we think of the Christ child. and we rejoice that We have children to love and to make happy in remembrance of Him. It hurts us to think of the many many children everywhere who have nothing done for them; whose homes, if they may be called by that name. are as barren as fha hAv, rf VI. -;s 1.1 born in manager. How much nearer should that Holy Child be to the chil- dren who know more what His early life was than to those who know noth- ing of poverty.
