When he had nothing but his
sword. any danger that might turn
up was only part OF the days

Taking Chances.
The young ballplayer with his
career to make will take any sort
Of chance.
The game. at that time, is 100

But when he is getting $4,000

longer playing with the old dasn

Why Not Christmas?

In . few weeks the civilized peoples Of the
world will be talking Of Christmas and its joys.
They will be preparing to celebrate the birth
day anniversary Of the Redeemer who liveth.
A long, long time ago there crept into the
English language an abbreviation for the word
Christmas. that many feel ought to be elm
isated. II Is the abortive Xmas" Why not
write It out, plainly, 'Christmas!' 1t is only
. few more letters. Xmas" isn't satisfying
II doesn't seem to show the proper respect

II Is easy to see how the use of the shorter
word came about. TX" happens to be the
irst letter Of the Greek word for Christ The
fact that the letter X ia cross-shape also lent
rcior to Its use in the abbreviated Xmas"
And history tells US that in the catacombs X
frequently stands for Christ. But things that
are old are not necessarily good.
Is the world in such q hurry that it cannot
stop to write out the full name? What would

Saviour he was called y. CHRISTI Sacreligious

THE THOUGHT OF GOD

the man who invented the thought
of God.
z Is it a superstition? If so, some
of the cleverest people in the world
have embraced it. The people who
believe in God are not all fools and
mental incompetents. II it be a
superstition, what lends FEASIBILITY
to the thought? 1t has lasted too
long to be a lie.
Is it an evolution? If so, from
what has it been evolved? 1t was
full grown when first seen. It is
not the kind of thought that is pro-
duced so much as the kind that
produces. 1t is one of the great
dynamic ideas of the race.
If, then, it is a thought that
everyone has. that the race has al
ways had, if it not an invention,
nor a superstition, nor an evolu-
ton. where did the thought of God
come from?
The most plausible explanation
is that it has come as every other
high, straight, true thought has
come-from reality. Back of the
thought Of God is the fact of God.
Men have thought God because
God is.

A Cripple's Salvation.

Charles Noel Douglas. bedridden invalid
for 30 years, is dead in New York. The all
ment that confined him for such long period
was not the cause Of his death Pneumonia
carried him on.
Others bearing their crosses of pain and in
frmities will md rare example In Douglas.
He was known as the most cheerful man in
New York. Doubtless he suffered, but others
were not made aware Of the fact. He forgot
his handicap and smiled and worked, during
his illness, having written hundreds Of lyrics,
edited five magazines with several million read
ers, wrote about half the sketches you see to-
day in. vaudeville and received and answered
more personal mail than J. P. Morgan.
Douglas was an actor. He was born in
England. > He had played various roles, finally
becoming the villain in a melodrama. In this
part he had to fall in death scene. At one
performance he made miscue and when they
picked him up they found that he was par
alyzed. It was his last appearance on the
stage
When Douglas was told by the physicians
that he never could walk again he accepted
the situation like . man. Physically he was
incapacitated, but he thranked God for an un-
impaired mentality, and what he made of it
you have been told. Others Of less determine
ton and fortitude would have surrendered,
Topped over on their backs and calmly await
ed the end.
But not Douglas. He ordered the shades
drawn SO that he could enjoy the sunshine and
the stars. He called for music. He wrote his
friends. He read and he studied. Presently
he turned to writing bits for the stage, for
actors and singers. He couldn't go about per-
sonally offering his wares but he found others
to act for him, and his market grew. He per-
fected himself in journalistic work. and in time
was serving Is literary director Of several
magazines.
Douglas had nothing to hope for but life
ard his life could have been made wearisome,
with death preferable to its endurance, had
he not willed to travel on the illumined side OF
the street, even though he was doomed to re-
main an invalid to the end Of his earthly exist
ence Which recalls the little thing We all
have heard, but which 80 few Of MS practice,
to the effect that Its easy enough to be pleas
ant when the world moves along like song
but the man worth while IL the man who can
\ smile when everything goes dead wrong"
Douglas knew how to smile and be happy
and work That's the answer to all Of our
ills and sorrows.
