anniversary of the founding of Harvard University. Even though the senate has passed . resolution favoring the printing of such an issue, 1t is general ly believed that the proposal will get no approval.
 Tn the first place the stamp of the U. s. Post Office has been announced as being filled for the year 1o36. The advent of an extra issue would tax the facilities of the Bureau of Engraving. Another reason why the Post Office department would probably oppose Q Har- ward commemorative Is the fact that this will set Q precedent which will doubtlessly prove to be very bothersorne in the fu- ture. If Harvard is allowed to have Q special issue, every school of note in the country. when the time arrives, will feel that 1t has just as much right to have the government issue Q stamp in its honor.
 It iS also known that on only two previous occasions has the department printed stamps ap- proved by resolutions from Congress.

 From Springfield, Mass, comes the news that the first postal card o 90 through the malls in the United States was recently found and returned to that city, where 1t was printed at the Morgan Envelope Go. It. was mailed on May l3, 1873, by s. s. Bunstead, coal dealer, to Henry M. Burt, founder of the New England Homestead.
 Henry M. Burt who found the stamp, stated that he had known that his father hnd re- ceived the card and had seen it 6 few times, but that he never knew what had become of 1t. "One day while cleaning out the attic in Newton, prior to moving to Arlington" he said, "I found it in small box which also contained q collection of old lctters."

Inasmuch as no less than iSS eighth grade pupils have listed stamp collections as their prin- cipal hobby, the recreational department of the local WpA in charge of this new summer course for grammar school stud- ents from the eighth grades, has announced some tentative plans relevant to the set-up.
 The 1s3 eighth grade grade uates will be divided into six or eight groups, according as to the location of playgroundS. etc., and an attempt will be made to stimulate further in- terest in the hobby. An it1struc- tor who has been familiar with the hobby and who will be able to dispense valuable inforn1a- ton to the youngsters, will cone duct 6 program for the youthful philatelists.
 The WPA recreational O0lce also pointed out that the stamp collecting class will be chiefly c recreational group. Besides the business of collecting, there will probably be some sort of exchange arrangement so that the children may trade stamps, and there will also be new stamps given away to children at different times during the summer.
 As stated before, all this bus- mess concerns only those 183 grammar school graduates who have enrolled in the new sum- mer orientation course. But the WPA directors here realize that there are many other children from the lower grades who are also interested in stamp collect- ing. For that reason, there will be special afternoon classes ar- ranged for those who are not formally registered with the original 1G3. These groups will also be divided and will meet ct certain playgrounds where the interest iB greatest.
 stamp collectors who took stock ef the covers carried on the H. M. S. Queen Mary on her maiden voyage so this c0un- try were disappointed because in almost every instance there was c lack of cancellation which would have heen appFO- priate for the event. The most attractive souvenir of the voy- age was Che aPnaueb0t" cane eeElatien used on mall cancelled ct New YoEh. These cancel were dated June I, without eEe hour og She day within the scir- ebe.

BY DIR. ALVIN Il. BELL
(The International Uniform Christ
mas Lesson for Dec. 20 is l John
4:7-19, the Golden Text being Luke
2:14, GLORY to God in the highest,
and on earth peace among men in
whom he is we'll pleased.D
CHRISTMAS is pre-eminently the
festival of love. Back of the first
Christmas gift to the world was the
love wherewith, God so loved the
world, that he gave his only begotten
Son. that whatsoever, believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlast-
ing life"
The Supreme Proofs of Love
It is natural that John, the apostle
of love, and "the disciple Jesus loved"
should interpret Christmas in terms
of love. AS the last of the apostles
perhaps approaching round century
in age, he wrote this letter, which may
be the very latest New Testament
book, to Christians, whom he address,
ed as my little children" No man
then living knew more intimately the
love of God than did John, and he
would have said that he learned it all
from Jesus Christ. To him the sup
RENE proofs of the love of God for the
world were found in the birth and
death of Jesus Christ. Herein was the
love of God manifested in US, that God
hath sent his only begotten Son into
the world that we might live through
him. Herein is love, not that we loved
God, but that he loved us, and sent his
Son to be the Precipitation for our
SINS" ..
God the Source of Love
John gives us our best definition of
God when he says God is love-" AS
such God is the source of all love:
Love if of God" Love is the distin-
gushing strait of all Gods, children,
if they are to look like and "take
after" their Father: Every one that
loveth is .betgotten of god, and know
eth God. He that loveth not knoweth
not God; for God is love-" We cannot
have and enjoy the divine love for
which Christmas stands without
radiating it and sharing it. Christmas
not only confers a blessing, but it also
creates responsibility: Beloved, if
God so loved US, we also ought to love
one another" The essence of the
Christmas spirit is this spontaneous
desire to share as God shared his Son
with us.
The SaViOur'S Birth.
John rejoiced in Christmas because
to him it connected primarily the
birth of tn a Saviour: eve beheld and
bear witness that the Father hath
sent the Son to be the Saviour of the
world" This is in accord with the an
gel message to Joseph, Thou shalt
call his, name Jesus for it is he that
shall save his people from their sins"
1t is in accord also with the message
of the angel to the shepherds. There
is born to you this day in the City of
David a Saviour who is Christ the
Lord" Gods primary object back of
Christmas was the worlds salvation:
Herein is love, not that we loved
God, but that he loved us, and sent
his Son to be the Precipitation of our
sim" Our sin created the necessity for
Christmas which Gods love and grace
met in the incarnation and atonement
of the Son of God.
Love Casts Out Fear
The angels message to Zacharias
in preparation for Christmas was,
Fear not, Zacharias;" to Mary, Fear
not, Nary" to Joseph, Joseph, fear
not" and to the shepherds, "Be not
afraid Fear entered the world with
sin in Eden Christ came into the

the most influential of the southern
