always at home, dwelling in "the
secret place of the most High" con-
stantly EMBODIED by the Fathers love
and care. Furthermore, he realizes
tina. this same love and care also
surrounds those who are dear to
him, even though many leagues may
lie between them, for there can be
no actual separation when thought is
at one with the understanding OF
spiritual reality.
Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer
and Founder of Christian Science,
has expressed this thought most
beautifully in one of her much loved
hymns, where in speaking of the
ever-presence of infinite Love she
writes Poems, p. ~:
"His habitation high is here, and
nigh,
His arm encirlcles me, and mine,
and all"
1t is impossible to estimate the num-
Der of people to whom these lines
have brought surcease from anxious
thought, replacing any troubled
sense with reinsurance and comfort,
when time and space have seemed to
separate them from those dear to
them. The same arm of tender, ON
nipotent care Unfolding all! Surely
such confidence, with its promise of
no division, no severance, its assur-
ance of but the one household of God
held in His tender care, is worth
striving for and attaining!
The effect of realizing that man as
the spiritual idea or child of Ged is
always at home in divine conscious
ness, cannot be overestimated. 1t
supplies a new standard for ethics
and morals. 1t provides plumb line
for righteous thinking and living by
which each suggestion or situation
can be appraised. 1t is an impreg-
nable defense against temptation
Moreover, this realization. of true
manhood engenders genuine self-re-
spect, supplies poise and balance, and
imparts a consciousness of dominion
over material conditions which can
be gained In no other way. The as
surance that Ellis habitation high is
here, and Nigh" and that every mo-
ment we can mentally abide in this
secret place of Loves dwelling and
there know the true sense of home.

OLD AGE PENSIONS

Old Age Pensions are a kindly thought
Makes a Teller more content with what
he's got,
If he don't have to figger when he
can't work more,
He'll either have to starve or face the
poor house door,
Don't starve your boss, that's done the
best he can.
Why should you do it to poor old
man?
No, you turn him out to pasture, to
stand in the sun
An take his turn O. restin when his
lfes work is done.
Don't even tell the boss he must have
been shiFk
Not to eat enough to last while he still
was nit to work.
But each day I'm feelin' older, and
where in thunder
That Pension went to / began to
wonder.
AT last I got it, the Pension, you see
Is foolin' Round the Corner with
Prosperity!

Martha Found a Way to
Raise Christmas Funds

= HRISTMAS was drawing nearer
~ and nearer, but Martha Woods
seemed no nearer a solution of her
problem The giving of gifts at the
Yuletide season had been tradition
with Martha as long as she could re-
member. This year, however, she saw
no way to keep up the cherished Gus
tom.
During the past months her income
had shriveled to where it would buy
only the necessities for herself and
Emma, her faithful servant. Through
no scrimping or saving could even the
tiniest gifts be sent to those whom she
wished to remember.
Now, as she watched the whirling
flakes of snow, she thought how love
ly it would be to see the big room full
of gaily tied packages, waiting to be
sent on their various ways. Regret
fully she pictured the disappointment
of relatives and friends who would
think she had forgotten; they would
never dream she had grown too poor
to buy Christmas gifts; they all be-
lieved her wealthy.
With a heavy sigh she looked around
the beautiful living room. The furnish
ings were luxurious; many Of them
had been in the family for genera
lions. :. Suddenly cry came from
her lips. She had thought of a quick,
sure way to fulfill her desires. She
would sell a few of the lovely old
pieces She would send for the propri-
etor of the antique shop without a
moments delay! Her Christmas gifts
would be on their way tomorrow -

BUY TUBERCULOSIS CHRISTMAS
SEALS

make your returns for your
tuberculosis Christmas Seals early"
urged William B. Matthews, Manag-
ing Director of the Maryland Tuber-
culosis Association. "If this is done
the anti-tuberculosis program in the
State can be speeded up and plans
made for the next year."
Mr.. Matthews continued by saying
that mo exact reports have been re-
ceived from the County Chairmen as
to the Christmas Seal returns in the
various counties of the State. If
everyone who received the seals will
make their returns as quickly as pos
sible it will enable the Chairmen to
complete their records and help the
Maryland tuberculosis Association to
carry out their work without delay.
This is very important for every de-
lay in the program gives the disease
that much of a start and lessons the
value of the work already DONE"
tuberculosis is both preventable
and durable. Realizing that preven-
ton is better than cure, the Mary
land tuberculosis Association is con-
Quoting a relentless program of
health education. This program is
intended to give the poSxss some
knowledge about the disease so they
can recognize it when they see it..
1t also attempts to teach them the
good health habits that will reduce
the chances of their acquiring tuber-
culosis and will prevent the spread of
the disease. The clinic service that
is maintained throughout the coun-
ties does much to spread this infor-
nation as we'll as find new cases and
prescribe the necessary treatment.

Mothers Night, Ancient
English Christmas Name

THE oldest English name for Christ
L mas is Moddra Night, or Mothers
Night. In the early days, when our
Saxon forefathers had just settled
down in the country that was to be
England, the day of December 25th
was given up to games and feasting,
but the night was dedicated to the
special honor of mothers. They oc-
cupied the seats of honor, and every
one brought them gifts. Sons and
daughters who had gone out into the
world strove to be at home on that
one night in the year.
A little later the name Yule was Civ
en- to Christmas, and the rejoicings Of
the day were prolonged into night,
when men sang and told stories sitting
round the cheerful blaze of the Yule
log.
The old customs of Mothers Night
gradually died out, though they still
survive in few parts of the country.
Its place has been taken to some ex-
tent by Mothering Sunday in the North
of England. On that day everyone who
can do so still makes a pilgrimage
homewards, and the mother receives
the homage of her family.-London
Tit-Bits Magazine.
