LESS UNEMPLOYED FRENCH

. PARIS, Aug. 20:-Unemployment
in France continues to decrease and,
as far as the provinces are concern
ed, the recent crisis appears to have
been completely overcome.
The latest figures show that the
total number of unemployed in
France is 47,566 and out of that
number 31,429 belong to Paris and
the Department of the Seine, leaving
only 16,137 unemployed for the rest
of France.
Compared with the census figures,
the number of unemployed in France
amounts to only OIL per cent of the
population.

The Joy Of the True
Spirit Of Christmas

your friends love you, and ask your
self whether you love them enough to
bear in mind the things that other
people have to bear on their hearts !;
to try to understand what those who
live in the same house with you really
want, without waiting for them to tell
you; to trim your lamp so that it will
give more light and less smoke, and to
carry it in front so that your shadow
will fall behind you; to make grave
for your ugly thoughts and garden
for your kindly feelings, with the gate
open-are you willing to do these
things even for a day? Then you can
keep Christmas.
Are you willing to believe that love
is the strongest thing in the world
stronger than hate, stronger than evil,
stronger than death-and that the
blessed life which began in Bethlehem
nineteen hundred years ago is the
image and brightness of the eternal
love? Then you can keep Christmas.
And if you can keep it for a day, why
not always? But you can never keep
it alone.-Dr. Henry Van Dyke.

nent the heart almost loses faith in
the mission of the Prince of Peace and
seeks in vain for solution of the in
consistency. But war proves nothing
contrary to prophecy. 1t is by such
stern paths and seasons of travail that
civilization has Travelled upward from
barbarism, and the loftier the heights
gained the harder the fall during
times Of backsliding.
Doubtless other wars will come, in
time, one so convincing that it will In

ering, when absent ones return and
the family circle Is once more COM
pleted, or as nearly completed as the
changes and chances of life make pos
sible. With homecoming was associ-
ated good cheer, and so Christmas
came to be a season of feasting and
merrymaking.
In England during the Middle ages,
and for many generations after the
Middle ages had closed, the Christ
mas season, which included at least
whole week, and liturgically 40 days,
was given over to merrymaking of
various kinds, some Of which have
gone the way Of many Of the customs
Of our forefathers. For instance, there
was the bringing Of the Yule-log to
be lighted on the fireplace on Christ
mas eve with much ceremony and re-
joicing. We have no Yule-log for there
are but few fireplaces now. The name
of the log recalls another name for
Christmas, which was anciently called
and is still known as Yule-tide or
Yule-time.

In various parts of the old world it
is customary for the elder members of

Birds and Animals
Share Christmas


NJ HRISTMAS is not merely festi-
" val celebrated by and for man
alone. Among the folk lone of
other countries are several quaint sto-
ries in which animals and birds give
evidence of their alteration. A we'll
known Bosnian legend offers a version
Of world adoration-th claim that
on the holy day "the sun in the east
bowed down, the stars stood still; the
mountains and forests shook and
touched the earth with their SUBMITS,
and the green pine tree bent; the
grass was befiowered with the open
ing Of blossoms; incense sweet as
myrrh pervaded upland and forest !;
birds sang on the mountain tops and
all gave thanks to the great Cod"
In Bosnia on Christmas day a sheaf
Of rye is put into birds nests and bird
houses for the birds Christmas. A
stranger, stranded in Michigan town
was once startled to see a sheaf of
rye in a bird box. He knew immedi-
ately that one of his kind lived there
and was keeping Christmas in the
old way.
An old Indian legend tells us that
on Christmas night all the deer in
the forest kneel in alteration before
the Great Spirit Woe to him, how
ever, who tries to spy upon them.
