SGUed Obstinate Lady
Some Embarrassment

The landward face of the Rock of
Gibraltar stands directly opposite TO a
conspicuous height, called the "QueeE
Of SPANS Chair"
This name has Its origin In legend
Of the great siege. 1t Is said that the
queen of Spain took up position on
his height, vowing she would not
leave 1t till she saw the Spanish flag
flying over the Rock of Gibraltar. A
report Of the royal lady's situation ul-
timately reached the governor, Gen.
eral Elliott, who at once most calamity
caused the Spanish flag to be waved
on the summit of the Rock.
Whether the legend is true or not, 1t
Is certain that there are no more strik-
ing aspects Of the Rock than those OBJ
tanned by the pedestrians who make
the rough ascent up to the Queen of
Spain's Chair" In traversing the
Spanish town of Linea, separated from
the Rock by the tongue of neutral
ground some half-mile in length, pic
lures Of primitive Spain present them
selves at every turn.
In making the tower the objective,
one energies from the town by narrow
footpaths and donkey tracks. The
rough slopes of the hill afford pasture
for numerous herds of goats, every
herd tended by a shepherd with long
staff.
A pile Of naked rock crowns the
summit Of the hill. On the topmost OF
these stands an ancient watch-tower.
From here the whole circle Of the
horizon is a magnificent panorama Of
sea and mountain. picture In which
the situation of the Rock presents its
full significance, thrust out into the
blue Mediterranean toward the noun
taing Of Morocco.

President Coolidge said elsewhere in

ly loss of faith in the American gov

The head Of Jesus given herewith

joy to the heart. 1t looks as one i'm
AGNES the young Jesus did look. The
painters brush, the grayer's tool and
the sculptor's chisel have been busy
through the centuries with represen-

is there a likeness Of Him with any
credible claim to authenticity? One
thinks not. But there is a word pic
ture of an older Jesus that pleases.
1t is attributed by tradition to Publ
us Lentulus, who is said to have been
Roman centurion in Palestine dur

There has appeared in this, our day,

Christ, who is yet living amongst us,
anu WITH the NISnCIlGS Is dCCGpl0u dS d
prophet of truth, but His own disciples
call Him the Son of God. He raiseth
the dead and cureth all manner of
Diseases; a man of stature somewhat
tall and comely, with a very reverent
countenance; such as the beholder may
both love and fear; His hair is of the
color Of a filbert, full ripe, and plain
down to His ears, but from His ears
downward somewhat curled and more
orient of color, waving about His
| shoulders. In the midst of His head
goeth a seam or partition of hair, after
! the manner of the NaZarites; His fore
head very smooth and plain; His face
nose and mouth framed as nothing
can be reprehended; His beard some
what thick, agreeable to the hair of
His head for color, not of any great
length, but forked in the middle; of
an innocent and mature look; His eyes
| gray, clear and quick.
In reproving He Is terrible; in ad-
mOnishing courteous and fair spoken
| pleasant in speech, amidst gravity. 1t

AS to the Bible, there are those who
hold to Christianity-at least in theory
but profess scant faith in the Book
of Books. This seems foolish, if it is
admitted that Christianity is the true
religion and that Christ Jesus is its
central fact. For the Bible is the book
that contains His life and teachings.
The noble Bible pictured here is the
one on which George Washington and
Warren G. Harding took the oath of

A CAROL OF THE STAR
Nv MARCARET wTDDEMER

BY MARGARET WIDDEMER
White STAR shining all across the sky,
Do the shepherds follow still as you
pass by?
"Yes, the simple shepherds go still
where 1 guide
If thou hast a simple heart, thou, too,
shalt walk beside"
White Star, cleaning over lands afar,
Do the Wise Men ride still where your
shadows are?
Yes, the Wise Men travel where my
long ray lies
Thou mayst bring thy gold as they, If
thou, too, wouldst be wise!"
White Star, lighting all the clouds on
high,
Do the angels sing yet, spread across
the sky?
"Yes, the angels hover, singing as of
old
Lift thy heart away from earth and
touch their wings of gold!"
White Star, guiding down a singing
wind,
Is there still Stable that poor men
may find?
"Yes the Stable waiteth, low and wide
of door
stoop thine head in humbleness and
find its myrrh-laid floorw
White Star, standing yonder overhead,
Is the child lying still beneath
His shed?

Whose loves as Jesus loved hath found

start and a new ideal to work for. And
now, Ammo DOmini 1924, that Bethle-
hem manger is still the source of mans
inspiration and spiritual power, still
the center of the worlds interest and
affection.
Christianity-as represented by the
churches and the sects-seem to be at
war with itself Fundamentalists and
Modernists debate fiercely, one with
the other. The church is accused of
ineft1ciency. The authority Of the
Bible is denied. There are those who
predict the decline and fall of Chris
tianity
Nevertheless, make no mistake about
this: Christianity Is still the driving
power of the world No man can live
near it and fail to take an attitude
toward 1t. 1t aims at peace, but to
bring about that peace it must tri-
umph. The human race on this earth
must either extirpate it or accept and
practice tiff it wants peace And
the central fact of Christianity is
Jesus ChriSt-his life and person. If
experience teaches anything, it teaches
that man wants goodness, grOpes after
higher things and prays for redemp-
tion. This is human nature. And I'M
til human nature changes and man
ceases to believe in goodness and
yearns not for salvation, Christianity
is bis hope and refuge.

try There is no way by which we can
substitute the Authority of law for the
virtue of man. OF course, we can help
to restrain the vicious and maintain a
fair degree Of security and protection
by legislation and police control, but
the real reforms which society in these
days is seeking will come as a result
of our religious convictions, or they
will not come at all. Peace Justice,
humanity, charity-these cannot be
legislated into being, They are the re-
suit of a Divine Grace.

The dairy COW, the homely SOW,
A combination good.
They keep us well, give things to sell,
AS all good products should.
