THE REAL MEANING OF CHRISTMAS

•What. Christmas really means is this:';_that on Ghristmas_ ~thfe boundaries ofTiwltTamTHeaven intermingle,~afia^liat~

the: love of God and the love of Man are two sides of the sameblessing. And these truths belong to the same, creeds.

For Christmas Day really brings us, year'by year, an assur-ance that God loves tWVorld, and- cares for each of us, andvisits us, and; having himself .entered into the experience of ourhuman life from the. beginning, knows us, understands'-us, and

".is blessedly able to make sympathetic allowance for us. HavingJf-j^ts dawn and brightness in the face of a liftie*Child,'it consecrates

[ our natural love for children and "sends us here and there on, "pleasant errands whose intention is to make the children happy..

That is the key-note of the day; that it is the Birthday of a.Child,—-a child festival:1-' ' : ' '

'.-' - , And since Christmas is a child festival, plainly it should beobserved with such rites as will make children happy.

• It is well that the house should be hung with green festoons_and wreaths"in the windows, so that it shall shine like Christmasandlopk;like Christmas and shout a,"Merry Christmas" to allthe passers-by. • . • , -

It is right that there should be a tree, its top pointing toHeaven, the source of all our blessings, with its branchesstretched in all the directions of the compass,—a symbol of the

,. fraternity and hospitality of this holy season., It is right that stockings shall hang, a bulging row, beside

the 'fireplace or outside the bedroom doors. For the tree and theStoclrings^elong to the Christmas tradition, and have come down

, throjugh many centuries, a heritage of delight which we, in turn,aj^/to cherish and transmit. They are mystic observances which

^connect us with the friendly saints! with knights and minstrels, 'with immemorial songs and stories, and which, apart. from allantiquity, are good for their own sake.

It.is well. and. right, too,-that there should be giftsJbr thechildren^ just as the wise.jnen traveled over the long roads fromthe mysterious East"'|nd brought gifts to the Christ-child. . Butlet the gifts be few-; for the plain effect of a great lot of gifts is

dfiferenT~toyiTand games, and their minds are filled with a pro- (portipnate perplexity which presently makes its. way Jo their'nerves. The result is that nothing is fairly appreciated,* half ofthe gifts are broken before sundown, and the children go to bedwith frowns and tears. A great quantity of gifts at one time islike a great.quantity of food,—it hurts the children.

A smaller number of gifts, and more love and care in their[-selection, would aid also in keeping the children, and us elders

as well, in truer accord with the real Christmas spirit. For theheart of Christmas happiness is. kindliness, and consideration,and concern for others. It is thjtniud whose note is set in the

i..-sentence : "God so loved the world," and this is very hard tokeep in the midst. of the holiday confusion. Accordingly, thethoughtful purchaser who buys few gifts but buys them withlove and care., .lifts a bit'of the heavy burden which falls at thistime on the shoulders of shop-girls. If we would only simplifyour Christmas, introducing a little more reason and restraint intoour buying, would we not of necessity have a little more time toremember those who in pain, poverty and loneliness will nothave, a very happy'Christinas unless we help them. It is cruellyhard to be in physical pain on Christmas day ; its loneliness islonelier than the loneliness of any other day. .The first Christ-mas after a sorrow is particularly keen and cold. It is hard forthose of us who are richly blessed to think of Christmas in anyother way than as a- season of gladness and merriment; butthere are thousands of hearts filled with a peculiarly heavysadness that day. •

A simpler Christmas would give us more time to think ofothers, who may need us; and what greater blessings would thu-.come to us.

Let us be glad ou Christmas Day : the day was so intended.Angels singing above the fields of Bethlehem ; the sky shining ;the Babe lying low in the manger ; the shepherds filled with joy;the wise men on camels ou their long journey to the l i t t le stable,all these beautiful wonders and symbols should make us glad ofThe Day, but glad in the true spirit of the Life that was givento the world on that day,—a lit£ of simplicity in itself, 'and oflove and consideration for others. :

That is what Christmas really means.May tujcfi a Christmas be'yours. . "

But with 'their sugar aid my views,Giving two tablespoons;

The nutmeg, lemon peel and maceEach its proportion brings.

For every.one I find a placeWith fifty other things.

The modest ginger, all too shyBoldly to make advance,

Sends a mere teaspoon Just to try. My flavor to enhance.

Now he has gone, like tho friendswho came to help enjoy him there.remains only a memory. Their goingleft an emptiness at heart, his a fullness of the Inner man. And who Isbetter for the life he gave? To those•whose appetite Is stronger than sent!ment there la only a pleasant memoryof a nice brown fowl with all thepretty accompaniments, but to onewho stops to consider—every morning« cheerful greeting came from the penwhere the proud old gobbler beheldhis majesty—the sun and bin llfo wasfull of pleasure and vanity us hespread his wings—those wlnga ofwhich you carelessly partook—andstrutted forth in all tho glory of theking of tho barnyard.

Uut Homebody's appetite cost himbis llfo, and because somebody wanted to celebrate the day his reason tobe glad was taken away and the handthat had fed the beautiful bird, thohand from which ho had como to «xpoet only kindness; wont forth wi th aterrible weapon and cut off Iho llfoof tbo poor gobbler when bo wangladdest.

What Has Happened On Christmas Day

How many know that Christmas a cock should' crow during the still-Day was first celebrated In the year ness of a December night one might98, although-not as a Christian fes- ] hear a peasant'say, "He is scaringtival until forty years after that date? | away the evil spirits from the Christ-It was not until the fifth century, that mas holy day."it was permanently celebraed on'De- In Austria and parts'of southerncember 25. Many interesting eventshave occurred on Christmas, and manytraditions cling to that day. Theymake entertaining and instructivereading for old and young alike, so afew are jotted down here as we lingerover the "walnuts and wine."

When Christmas comes on Sundayit Is considered a most lucky day. It.means a good winter and an unusualTyfine summer. Should a child be bornon a Christmas Sunday it will be fa-vored by good fortune all its life. "•'"

Two, notable coronations occurredon Christmas Day^-that of Charle-magne as Emperor.of^he west In theyear 800 and that of William theConqueror at Westminster Abbey In10G6. Clovis. the first .Christian kingof France, was baptized on ChristmasDay, 496. •*

The pilgrims, .who condemned allchurch festivals,, spent their firstChristmas In America working hardall day long amid cold and stormyweather and commenced the buildingof the first house in Plymouth, 1620.

It Is a significant fact that no greatbattles were fought on Christmas Day.They have occurred on the 24th and26th of December, but the anniver-sary of the advent of peace on earthhas ever been observed by a cessa-tion of hostilities. A notable excep-tion, however. Is that of the Imttle ofOkeechobeo, Fin., In which KacharyTaylor defeated the Indians In 1837.

On Christmas Day of 18(!1 PresidentLincoln and his cabinet met arid de-cided to comply with the demand ofGreat Britain for the release of Ma-HOB and Slldell, who had been captur-ed while on their way to England amiFranco us representatives of the Co'n-fetlerncy.

In 1868

Germany food. Is prepared with great-est delicacy on Christmas eve andplaced upon tables in order that theVirgin Mary and the angel, in parsingduring the night, may not he compell-ed to fast. A light is placed in" a win-dow in order that the Christ child, intraversing the streets, may not fall.

Countrymen in Poland assert thatupon Christnias night—the -heaversopen and the-scene of Jacob's ladderis re-enacted.' To the saintshowever, Is It visible.—Ex.

PLEA FOR THE POOR ATCHRISTMAS. « .

Do you know of any homes in yourneighborhood -where Santa, Clansnever comes? la there a sick father,a' father out of work, a widowed moth-er, an old and Indigent person?

Charity, it has been said, begins athome, and it shouldn't stay there. Itshould go but into the highways andbyways. Especially is—this true ofChristmas charity, which should bethe highest kind of Christian charity.

Your children will have tpys andsweetmeats in abundance. .Perhaps,they will have more than is good forthem. It will make you happy to- lo.okinto their joyous faces on Christmasmorning when they Inspect the treas-ures, left for them by Santa Claus.But there is a sort of' happiness evenmore to be desired than this. It is thatwhich comes from remembering thepoor at Christmas.

(Think of the little ones and the sickana aged who will have no Santa-Claus this year unless "you becometheir Santa-Glaus. A very.little giftto one^who otherwise would receivenone looms large In the eyes of ^therecipient. Surely you can make some-body outflfde of your own family andcircle happy 'this Christmas.

One of the wisest of the old say-ings is this: "It Is better to give than,to receive." This proverb embodiesand exemplifies the Christmas spirit,which is the Christian spirit reducedto the concrete.

Remember the poor this Christmas.

"Now, if I only knew, what to sendCousin Clara I'd be all through withmy shopping," declared Mrs. Grim-shaw. "I know what I'd like to sendher. What she needs most o*-.all Is agood .sized check."

"Then why not make out.one and- send it along? That's-a, good idea,"/.responded-her. husband.,

"Why, John, you~know it wouldn'tdo at all." It would hurt her feelings

- so she'd never get over it. She's such' a proud girl.",

"Ridiculous!" „'expostulated .Mr.Orlmshaw. "How could It hurt herfeelings? W« Jcnow she's strugglingalong to educate '"herself, and sheknows we know it.'That's no disgrace.She also knows that we have mowmoney than we know what to do with.Just write out a check for J600 andte done with it."

"I wish I dared," returned Mrs.Orlmshaw. "But you don't knowClara as well as I do. It would bejust like her to send the check rightback. 1 wouldn't offend her for theworld. She's-really a fine girl,' but shehas Just that little streak of falsepride." '

"How would It be to send her some-'';:'thlng handsome, say a sealskin sack

or something like thaW" suggestedOrlmshaw. ,. :

"It wouldn't do at all. A girl In herposition must dress harmoniously.When she wears one thing that's ex=pensive she must get other things toma' '> or she looks dowdy."

• "i. i a foolish way to look at it, butmaybe you're right," answered • herhusband. "It's a hard problem, butletye It to me-. I'll try to figure outsomething." ^ "•-— .-•—-.

On his way to the office Grimsbawtaxed his wits with the question ofCousin Clara's present, and when horeturned home, ho hunted up his wifeand told her h'o had solved It, where-upon ho ceremoniously flsl;ed from

•his pocket .a largo Jewel case andopened It, revealing a beautiful dia-mond brooch.

Mrs. Orlmshnw hold up hoi- handsIn unmixed delight. "Perfectly stun-ning!" she exclaimed. "Oh, you de'arthing! It's tho most beautiful clusterT ever saw. Hut Christmas Isn't hereyet. Why didn't you wait?"

."My dear child," returned her tins-band, fondly, "this brooch Is not foryou. If you want ono like It you mayhnvo It, but this ono Is for CousinClara." js ;

"John, how1 silly! It wouldn't dolit all. Wo talked that all out thismorning. It's absurd. W>mt, In thename of goodness, would a girl In borposition do with a thing of that: sort?"

"It's Ji iHt tho thing," said ho."Nonsense.""Novor mini!. I have an Idoa. I've

If a man habitually welcomes a number of other men to^his home,to play cards for the drinks, and he furnishes the wine, taking pay forthe same, isn't he maintaining a "disorderly house," under tlje meaningof our State laws ? We are told that there are a' number of such placesin town, and that Sunday is the favorite time for the game,—anotherviolation of law. Isn't there some one in town who is sworn to maintainorder and bring violators to justice?

We hope that none of our new Council have a pet street or two inmind, which must be rebuilt at the expense of all others. Many ofour streets are in shocking condition, and should be attended to beforeany other work is begun. The Overseer will have his hands full whenweather conditions ..permit Jn'ni to begin work.

All praise is due to the Civic Club for their work this season, in•soliciting contributions and distributing to the shut-ins and needy.They, might have been seen yesterday, playing the role of Santa Clans,naking their rounds in automobiles. Alno"K t'ie K'f's were eighty wellilled blockings.

OUR ADVENT HOPE. , •• . Far behind us lies the first coiningof, the Lord. Nineteen hundred .yearshave come, and gone since the angelchorus sang to the shepherds of Beth-lehem_ thettflorlous Christmas hymn ofthe SnvioS- born. A few short- yearsthat Saviour lived and worked on earth.Then He died and rose and ascendedup to heaven, whence He had comt.But before He went He left the posi-tive promise that He would comuagain, in visible, bodily shape, togather to Himself His loyal peoplewith the words: Come ye blessed, in-herit the kingdom of my Father whichwas prepared for you, ere tho worldbegan. Tncse many years and centur-ies the eyes of all tho fa i thful -havelooked-for-thi^_fuifllment of that prom-ise.

JESUS n,ORN-'IN BETHLEHEM.

Matt. 2:1-12.

GOLDEN TKXT.—Unto you Is bornthis day in the city of David a Sa-viour, which is Christ the Lord. Matt.2-11.

"Unto us a"chlltf*'ls born, unto us aSon is given, and the government shall

' that woul'd follow them." liut It was| revealed to them that "not unto them-| selves," but. unto us Ml they mlnistei| these things. He even declares thut. angela rteslro to look into these things.. from which it-appears that the. angalsI do not know everything, but arc al-

ways striving to learn more aboutj tho Wonderful ways of God. (See 1'Pet. 1: 10-12.)

It was God,' then, who revealed tothe prophets the future , facts whichllo wished to make knpwn to. HI"people; but how coull God Himselfknow about future, events which wereto bo brought about by the agency ofmen acting on tho impulses of theirown free will?

-.There Is only one possible answer

/'Thanks he unto God for His- un-speakable gift." "To'as many as re-ceived Him. to them gave He the rightto become children of God, even tothem that believe on His mime."

What a transformation that in, thats inful men should become children ofGod—and that, not by being adoptedinto God's faintly in their natural con-dition, but by being changed into Hi.*image anJ made sharers of His nature.

'God gave His Son to the world that

—came ansTfhe secgrnr~wnThe Advent Hope, that is the key-

note of the epistle for this day. Itis the word which forms its frame.Its first verse reads: "For whatsoeverthings were written- aforetime were•written for our (learning, that we:ihxo.ugh....p.atience...\and....comfort..o£.- theScriptures might nave hope." And Its

—Jast—verse;—!iNw^—the-.God-: of"Ull you with -all joy and -peace inbelieving, that .y^j, may abound in hope"through the'power of the Holy Spirit."

.1. Its Source.There are Worldly optimists who'also

profess a happiness and hopefulnessin spite of all the sin and sorrow inthe midst of which they live. Theyclaim to know only "cheerful yester-days" and to ' look forward only to"confident tomorrows." They are thecareless ories of -jvhom the Saviourspeaks in the Gospel -for this day onwhom that day tof His second Adventcomes unawares. It is a shallow, afalse optimism that cries t'eace, peace,when there is no peace. There Is. butone true light that shines throughthis earthly gloom. It is that blessedWord of God of which the psalmistsays, it is a light to his path and alamp to his feet. There is but one-true source of hope and that is theWord of Eternal Life.- How well th«great apostle knew this and thereforeJie says: Whatsoever things werewritten aforetime were written for ourlearning, that we through . . . theScriptures might Have hope. They arcthe only source of hope bccau.se theyhave never yet failed those who trustedin the promises they held forth. ThtOld Tcatntnent saints l ivft l and diedlii never-falling hope, because theyknew and believed what wna writtenof Him-who was to come. That hopewas not put to Hbame. In tho fulnessof time Ho did come, nml Ho wanmore and Ho did more Hum c.ven theirbrightest hopes had :lared to think..These thlngx were wri t ten for ourlearning that w<! too may hope, 'mayconfidently liellevo that the ono greatunfu l f i l l ed promise of KiTlpture, theHi-cond coining of the I.ijrd, will , alsobe perfectly realized.

"I can therefore recommend thela-Jles to emigrate to that part."

A yoang ladjr seated lln one of thelast rows of the auditorium got upand7 full of indignation, left the roomrather noisily, whereupon the lecturerremarked:—

CHRISTMAS FOX HUNT IN AMERICA

When the weather is favorable onChristmas day the members ;of manycountry, clubs throughout the UnitedStates engage in a fox hunt. This isthe mojeoi survival oT the ancientchase that used to furnish game forthe great holiday feast.

Long ago in the middle ages beforethe day of markets, of storage housesor refrigerator cars the lord and vas-sals shared the traits of the lion and;scorned to'eat that which they did

of the holiday the chieftain summon-ed the men of his claiv, -and to horsethey went in pursuit of the wild boar.Across hills and level stretches,through swamps and across frozenstreams they galloped till they cameup with the fierce prey.

In the battle that ensued the privi-lege of the most valorous feats, ofundergoing the greatest danger andOf finally administering the deathstroke was intrusted to ^he-noblest.Then the body of the boar was car-ried back by the vassals, the body,roasted and the head garnished anddecorated to take the place of honorin the center of som<£>long table laidin the center of a baronial hall.

Far Into morning of the next daywould the roistering continue, andthe poor gentleman who could drinkonly one bottle was destined to sadexperiences in this bout of mightyblbblera.

The boar has passed from the earth.No longer does the lord kill his .ownChristmas feast, but In. small meas-ure he revives the Joys of the holidayhunt by his pursuit of sly reynard.There aro In the United States B<»-onty flrat class clubs devoted to; tuftsport of fox hunting. Tho season be-gun at Thanksgiving day ,1s at ltdheight by ChrlBtmastldo, for then theair Is crlflp with froat, and tho lastof the crops'that hunters might havedamaged have been gathered Into thebarn and safely stored away.

For persons of wealth thnso arcearly risen) who, ut 1 o'clock In themorning, have gathered near tho club-house. Ouo comrade. Joins another,and a merry exchange o( Chr ln tmnngreetings recalls the holiday.

Then the party turns sedately back,the excitement of, the day over. Thedogs are returned to the kennel, the,horses are carefully rubbed down, theparticipants in the hunt have theirshower bath and are ready to dressfor dinner after the most excitlngrandenjoyable start a Christmas day-canwell have.^Nbrbnly members of the clubBhavetaken part in this chase. The growinggood will between farmer and hunterhas turned the attention of the manof agriculture to the delights of thisholiday ride. He' has mounted his bfcsthorse and Joined in the race. He, too,returns home to a hearty dinner totell what a good time he had. '

In less aristocratic clubs, .such asthe many organizations of farmersare in various parts of the country,the hunt is less ornate, but it results,in more Christmas killings of foxes.

The wild, rough country of Vir-ginia makes directly following behindthe hounds a hazardous, If not im-possible, performance. This gives riseto the distinctively American style ofhunting, which is to let the .houndswork much of the time alone, thehunter following only in spirit, catch-Ing a glimpse of the flying pack oc-.casionally, or, guided by .their muBlcatbaying, trying to catch up at the nextstation, , .. In Kentucky the Christmas hunt Is•field' at night, on Christmas eve.

The fox hunt,is an importation from'England, where It still Is the favorite"sport' of the elite at Christmas time.Virginia's early settlers flrst intro-duced the custom Into the colonies,nmPGeneral George Washington was

•pn«f.o( the most famous of foa; hunt-ers. The colonial girl was educatedto fox hunting as part of her accom-plishments, and hundreds of tho bellescould take a five rail fence nu easilyns they 'cut a graceful figure In aminuet.—Ex.

Sleep only in rooms that are wellventilated. Have your windowsopen at top and bottom, 'biit-afoida draught. If this, is uncomforta-ble because of the coldj use morebed clothing. Make it a rule tospend ai| hour or more each dayout' of doors, walking arid practic:ing d§gp breathing. • Avoid hot,stuffy, over-crowded rooms.
