The Message Of Christmas
BY QUENTIN HOWE

NTEVER has there been greater
IN need for an understanding Of
the spiritual significance of
Christmas than at this time, when
the world has been passing through
a conflict that has seemed like chal-
lenge to our faith in the omnipotence
of God, good. But in spite of the
tragedies which have seemed to over
whelm the world, there have been
many evidences of the. Christ-spirit,
of sense of love and brotherhood
which has enabled men and women
in many walks of life to endure great
difficulties with faith and courage.
Centuries ago the prophet Isaiah
foresaw salvation from the ills of
humanity, saying isaiah 9:2), "The
people that walked In darkness have
seen a great light: they that dwell
in the land of the shadow of death,
upon them hath the light shined."
And he further described this com.
ing light in those familiar lines which
have since become SO closely assoc
ciated with the Christmas season:
unto us a child Is born, -. and his
name shall be called Wonderful,
Counsellor, The mighty God, The
everlasting Father, The Prince of
Peace" =.
As we gain a clearer and more
spiritual concept of the coming of the
Christ, we shall make our Christmas
celebrations occasions to reflect
more fully the Christ-spirit in humil-
ity, love, and unsettled service. In
"The First Church of Christ, Scien-
fist, and Miscellany" Up. 260), Mary
Baker Eddy writes of Christmas as
follows: "The basis of Christmas is
the rock, Christ Jesus; Its fruits are
inspiration and spiritual UNDER
standing Of Joy and reioicing,-not

ORDER OF PUBLICATION
Robert l.. Pugh, PlaintiR
Answer to Question 8:

Ethel nj. Pugh, Defendant
In the Circuit Court for Cecil County
In Equity No. 64ss1
The object of this suit is to procure
a decree declaring the marriage be-
tween the parties null and void.
The bill states: tkat the plaintiff
was married to the defendant, Ethel
M. Pugh, on October /, 1898, in Elk
ton. Cecil County, Maryland. That
ever since said marriage the plain
tiff and his wife have never cohablt-
ed together as man and wife; and
that at the time of said marriage the
defendant never intended to live with
the plaintiff as a wife. That the de-
PENDANT is a nonresident or the
State of Maryland, residing in the
State of New York; tkat the plaintiff
resides in the city of New York and
the State of New York. That by rea-
son of the deceit and fraud practicec
upon the plaintiff by the defendant,
the plaintiff prays the Court to pass
a decree declaring said marriage
null and void. And the plaintiff prays
for such other and further relief as
his case may require.
1t is thereupon, this 4th day of De-
cember, 1916, ordered by the Circuit
Court for Cecil County, in Equity,
that the plaintiff, by causing a copy
of tkis order to be inserted in some
newspaper, published in said Cecil
County, once in each of four success
sive weeks before the 7th day of
January, 1916, give notice to the
said absent Defendant of the object
and substance of this bill, warning
her to appear in this Court in person
or by solicitor, on or before the 23rd
day of January, next, to show cause
IL any she has, why decree ough-
not to be passed as prayed.

America. With new design in hand,
Miss Bissell set out to get help in
putting her plan across. She en-
countered trouble from those that
could afford to help. Finally she took
her design to a small printer who
agreed to wait for his pay. She
talked with the postal clerks and
they. said that they would assist if
the people would be advised that
the penny stamp would not carry
anything-that it was purely orna-
mental.
The printer turned out $4,000 Of
the stamps-the people of Delaware
had begun to hear about tuberculo-
sis-and a Christmas Seal table was
set up in the Wilmington post Office,
and the first Christmas Seal sale in
America was under way.

In Copenhagen
Sale in America Resulted in
Big Life Saving.

It was a busy afternoon just be.
fore Christmas in 1908 and piles
upon piles of holiday letters and
packages were pouring through the
post office in Copenhagen. A postal
clerk, Einar Holboell, expertly han.
died the letters and packages, and
as he did so, he pondered an idea
which was to have great effect upon
the destiny of millions Of people in
the world.
This idea of Holboelps was to
mark the beginning Of one Of the
strangest wars ever fought--a wal
in which human lives were to be
saved, not sacrificed; in which
homes have been saved, not
bombed; one in which there can be
no armistice, no peace treaty. For
the worldwide war against tubercu
losis is total war and final victory
will come only with the complete
eradication of the ancient enemy
which for centuries has been the
cause of more deaths than any con
