A SALESMAN may be short or tall, fat
or lean, but the boss measures his value
by just two things: ~ the results he
gets; ~ how much it costs to hire him.
Bismarck Tribune want ads get results
because the people who turn to them
already are in the market for what they
have to sell. Want ads meet with no
"sales resistance" They waste no time
ringing hostile door bells.

ANOTHER CHRISTMAS
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN DID. LID, DEL,
Bishop of Washington.

the highest expression Of mans pos
sibilities and potentialities.
The spirit Of this day can not be
narrowly defined. Even racial, politici Al
and ecclesiastical differences and divi-
sions give way before its conquering
scepter Of love. Christianity is not q
cult, nor yet system, 1t is the incarna-
ton Of a divine principle of human
relationship expressed In terms Of life,
the life Of Him who In humility and
0bscurity entered into fellowship with
men on that first Christmas day. On
this latest Christmas day we shall
have our home gatherings, our intimate
family joys, kinship and friendship
will express themselves In generous
deeds and unstinted giving, but we
shall signally miss the deeper meaning
and significance of the day unless we
find ourselves responding to its larger,
broader implications. The world, our
modern world, Graves that which
Christmas expresses: more Of under
standing sympathy, more Of real cha
rity in all human relations, q finer
demonstration Of Christian brother
hooo tiint uiouC udl dilICco W uS peace
and good will. Bethlehem's mighty
message must be translated into deeds
Of selfless service. It's spirit Of kind
ness and love for all sorts and condi-
tions Of men must be interpreted in
ways that are practical, that bring re-
freshment and renewed courage to
those who are disillusioned, to men and
women who have lost hope, upon whose
paths dark shadows have fallen. When
the spirit Of Christmas infiames the
hearts Of men as with q passion. when
its simple story stirs once again the
finer, better things of our nature, we
shall be at the dawn of o new day
Of promise and the earth will be filled
with the goodness Of the Lord, as the
waters cover the sea.
Yes, it is another Christmas, the
season Of precious memories, to some,
Of forgotten hopes and unfulfilied ex-
pectations, but 1t still speaks Its mes
sage Of Joy. 1t presents once again to
a distracted and confused world an
ideal of life that points the way to
better, happier days ahead.

more practical on-essentials of the

more practical non-essentials Of the
season.
And yet the attraction Of Christ
mas services is greater than it ever
can have been in earlier times. The
music, for example, is richer than 1t
was before Bach, Handel and Haydn
offered their genius to the holiest Of
uses. Science has developed the
power of the pipe organ and the
acoustic properties Of church build
ings and the lighting of sanctuaries.
Education has improved preaching
and cultivated the receptive capaci-
ties of the listeners. A natural evo-
luton has been operative for CEN
turies in all these aspects Of organ
lied praise and prayer, and he who
never has been present in q great
cathedral on q Christmas morning
has missed one Of the grandest ex-
periences which may be the priv
ilege of a human soul.
But it is the spirit Of worship which
should be stressed. Much, II not all,
of the inheritance, the endowment,
which humanity possesses comes
down from the night when the star
stood over Bethlehem and the day
when the Wise Men knelt before the
infant Christ. Surely, gratitude must
be instructive in every heart and
Thanksgiving a normal impulse in
every soul. To join, then, in Christ
mas services is logical as well as
an elemental desire among those to
whom the festival Is not merely q
pagan feast.

labor Of the race, he saw, is not q
useless enterprise. Men develop
spiritual maturity in their slow and
painful progress UP from the jungle
toward the everlasting hills and the
ultimate stars. Defeat they may en-
counter, disaster may be their custo-
mary lot, but surrender is possibility
they never contemplate. Instead, they
struggle on-strengthened by the hope,
If not the reality, of certain victory.
And now and again, as in Testers
letter, they unconsciously assert the
elemental endowment which they
have from their Creator-the sense
Of equitable justice and loving mercy
which providentially they share with
God. The child may not understand.
But even though he was not "po-
NOTED" and may not be rewarded with
q bicycle. he is rich. He has the
capital called character, without which
nothing else is worth while.
