Single Men Must Give
Jobs to Married Ones

Bradford, Eng. Sept. 80 Up
The city officers have enacted a law
prohibiting an unmarried man from
holding a municipal job when there
is a married man looking for it,
The Bradford councillors could not
understand why there should be any
unmarried men, inasmuch as reports
showed that there are almost twice
as many maidens in the city as bach
el0rs.
The city medical officer replied
that the precarious condition Of the
wool trade, which is the chief i'll
dustry of the city, is responsible for
many of the local young men shun-
ming marriage.

But IL is strange that "the darkness comprehended 1t not, for many peo- pie even hated this light of the life and loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil.

What do the people speak mostly Of at Christmas time They ask.
 What shall l give and get for my Christmas present." Very few comparatively speak in the right sense and way of that Christmas gift which St. Paul praises at the conclusion Of the ninth chapter in the second Epistle to the Corinth- fans: Thanks be unto God for His unspcakabe gift" Among all the innumerable and precious gifts which Santa Claus" brings on or after Christmas day to the rich as well as 10 the poor people, 10 the older and younger ones. there is none as needful, precious and worthy of thanks as Gods "unspeakab blc gift" His only begotton son, Jesus Christ, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born Of the Virgin Mary: Truly We would not speak Of this unique gift if God had not spoken of 1t since the fall Of Adam and Eve unto the fathers in the prophets by divers portions and in divers manners, at the end Of these days unto us in His Son. whom He appointed heir of all things.

Should we not let shine the eternal light as given in the written word Of God to all who still walk in darkness of hcathendom Is this light of the world not needed where ever is no surety Of Gods grace and peace. Where the conscience Is troubled by fear of death and judg- ment Of God? The lights of Christmas tree make the people re- joicing; it goes out after Christmas. This true light of life, given in the Christmas gift of God will never go out but will shine in the eternal city of the new Jerusalem 10 all who fol- lowed this light like the wise men and walked in 1t as We do in the
 light of sun, moon and stars.

It cndureth for ever and hus mani tested itself not only by giving His only Son to the Virgin Mary as n true child but to all the human world as a Saviour In that son Of man" who gave His life for the salvation Of all. Such love is indeed ''unspeakable," will never be out spoken by human tongues. As long as this earth remains, this love will be praised not only on every Christ mas day but on every other day and at every place where Christians gather In remembrance Of the most raedful, useful and praiseworthy gift Of God. O let us also give thanks by heart, mouth and hands that all those people who do not al- ready enjoy the everlasting Christ mas gift of our God may join in our praise. Let US not forget what we as sinners really deserved. what we inherit after death; Life that is without lamentation. Let us bring this joy to every human being that the true thanks unto God for His unspcakahle gift may endure for ever.

CHURCHES PLAN ANNUAL CHRISTMAS EXERCISES E@s
STIRRING FILM AT
 THE SOUTH CHURCH
"Ihe Fool" Condemned as Fail.
 uTe, Now Star Attraction

A film especially appropriate for earth of the Christ Is to be used at the Sunday evening worship Of the South church. IL is "The Fool" taken from Charming Pollocks' plak Of the same name.
 This play, which was assigned to ignomInious failure by the critics, played to enormous audiences in New York. was taken on the roni by seven companies and was seen by four million people in the first two years.
 It is the story of Daniel Gilchrist, young curate of a~'tashionahle Fifth avenue church, who strives to live his life as he believed Christ would have it lived in the goth century. Realizing that hypocrisy is rampant in his congregation. he protests to the rector who tells him 10 preach the sort of sermons that will please the wealthy pew holders. The reply is savage attack upon the pulpit the following week. and tho curates dismissal immediately follows. Hence he earns the title, The Fool" What he does after his dismissal holds the interest in each successive scene to the end.
 The picture is said to he one of the strongest ever shown fin the South church. not only because Of its significant moral message. but for its domestic action and climaves as Mnll
