unto himself his church, and then fol-
low the promised blessings to all the
families Of the earth through the seed
of Abraham.
This great blessing must be pre-
coded by the dark night of trouble now
upon the world, but which will soon be
finished, and when finished the new
order will be introduced.
Instead of the people being discour-
aged in this time of great stress, those
who get the right understanding that
this must be just before the Inaugural
ton of the kingdom, will be strength
ened to pass through the trouble and
receive the blessing that the Lord has
for such.
The period Of the restoration will
cover the period Of the one-thousand
year reign of Christ.
The things which the Lord foretold
that must happen at the end of the
world are happening and have recent
ly happened. Confidently, then, we
can say that the old world has ended;
and since the blessings will follow
shortly, we can also with confidence
say that millions now living will never
die.-John 8:5; 1925.
There is a happy time just ahead
for all mankind. Let the sorrowful
and distressed, then, have faith in God
and his promise and take courage and
look forward to that happy time when
all wickedness shall be eliminated from
the earth, all the obedicnt ones re-
stored to health and happiness and
dwell in constant peace and joy for
ever.

Christmas.

The origin of Christmas or Christ's-
mass, so called with reference to the
last words of the chief religious serv-
ice of the day according to ancient
ritual, Ute missa Cor massa) est" is
to be found in the second chapter of
st. Luke's Gospel. Its observance is
not development, having existed from
the earliest days of Christianity. In
fact, in many respects there has been
devOlution instead Of evolution in the
manner of it's celebration.

The fact that nearly all paper money

bank deposits have increased, says an
upstate banker who was in the city,
people like to handle clean crisp
bills" he said but are afraid Of the
torn, soiled ones. There is always the
chance Of getting some disease, Small
checking accounts have increased a
good deal lately, and this is undoubt-

new bills come in again the accounts
may become fewer But once people

orally stick to it."--New York Sun.
