The Spirit of

Christmas By DR. WORTH M. TIPPY

Of all the year's festival days, Christ mas is peculiarly the festival of love. Easter commemorates the resurrection Df Jesus. It Is our festival of life, divine and Immortal; for the power that raised Christ from the dead has passed into the lives of ths millions. It comes with peculiar appropriateness a: the season of the year when nature is awakening to spring and everywhere are warm wiLds, sunshine, growth and beauty. Thanksgiving is our festival of Divine Providence, celebrating the Iot Ing care of God over all that He has made. It comes at UM time when, in agricultural communities, the eanh's fruitage has been gsrnered snd the year s work draws to a close. It is a good time in all pursuits to close the books with God. and to bring to Him the only possible return for His beneficence, the gratitude and appreciation of our hearts. But Christmas Is the climax of th Christian year. It Is our festival of love, and as such Is It not beautifully fitting that the diy should b cele brated by the bestowment of gifts It is as nstural for love to give as for birds to sing and for flowers to grow. The aplrlt of Christmas Is the spirit of giving. This spirit takfs hold upon all classes of people, carrying into every soul the sweetness and purity of love's ministry. It lavishes gifts in

homes of wealth and it finds a way in CaM direst poverty. Christmas was the day when God j gave His richest gift to menJesus

the Chrlst-and that msrvr'-u gift of the ages has proved the Inspiration of the day and given birth to the spirit of piving among men. And for this reason let us give remembrances to Just as many people as we can af ford to give, to those of our own homes, to our friends and to he poor. It doesn't need to be much, so that It Is a token of friendship. Hemember particularly the lives that are aat In hard places, l.ift a m rtgage. pay a debt, send a check to the brave woman who Is fighting for her children. HrlriR the young man or young woman who Is away from home to your own fireside. Send a Christmas dinner vhere you are sure there would be a scanty one If you did not send I. The spirit of Christmas Is lore expressing Itself In service. The love of God found Its expression In the gift of a Saviour to the world. The Jove of Cartll found Its expression In the gift of a life of pure and unselfish service tj mnnklnd He gave Himself to the l est association with men so that

every man might take heart In the struggle and have a reasonable hope of being able to live likewise. This gift of service is tbe best gift which can be given to the world. And this gift Is within the reach of everybody. There it no excuse for tho-e who do not make it. None are too busy to be friendly and none ton great to stoop to little kindnesses. I once thought there were natures that could not be cordial, but I know now that it was a mistake. Tbe most inexorable duty men ever have is to love and to render services of love. It was one of tbe last teachings of Jesus that we will be judged at last by our attitude In practical service to the sick, the oppressed, the stranger and to those who lack the plainest necessities of food and clothing. But this spirit of Cbrlstmsa whi b is to find Its expression in the gift of loving service is not the spirit of men benevolence. Kindness that Is not Inspired by comrsdeshlp is not beautiful at all. It may be pity from a proud heart, but that ts not friendship, and It is not the deep brotherly love of Christianity. Men needs friends more than they need alms. We all need each other's friendships. We are inseparably bound together as men of SSM race and men of all races. The powerful need tbe sympathy and rec ognltlon of the humble, the rich of the Pxr, and the cultured of the unrefined, and for this reason the life which finds its expression In unaffected and universal friendship Is the life which has most nearly caught the spirit of Christ and of Christmas. Let us give gifts, and among them that larper gift of loving service. Thus will the spirit of Christmas be shed abroad and make tbe world brighter and better.

Then remove ihe drumstick with one stroke of tbe knife, first cutting through the skin down to the joint, hitting it squarely. It Is a little difficult to locate this joint, but by pressing the leg away irom the side of tbe turkey it is readily found. It is claimed that the expert carvei does not remove the fork from the breast until he has quite finished. He that as it may. it is quite necessary to use the fork in separating the thigh from the "drumstick." and th hip" is a favorite part with many. To accomplish this, make a Y-shaped cut toward the Joint, holding the thigh against tbe side of the turkey with the fork. The "drumstick" d'ops off neat ly Into the platter.

HOW TO BE POPULAR. In either accepting or bestowine an attention, manaee always to make the "party of the second part" feel thai your act is a peculiar tribute to himself. When a service has been rendered you don't gushingly exclaim to the Individual: "Oh. thank you; everybody has been so kind! I had no Idea before that I had so many loyal friends." In answering letters, avoid mentioning the weary magnitude of your epistolary arrears. It Isn't pleasant for your correspondent, even by Implication, to be Included among bugbears. No woman Is flattered by the enthusiastic announcement of a man that be "would do anything for the ladles." Kverythlng fcr the "lady" would be more to her ta te. Don't acknowledge the acknowWtr ment of a favor with the commonplace generality: "It Is my grSStts t pleasure to serve my friends." Find something personal to say. Receive a compliment, however trlts, to yourself or those of your family aa though Ihe thing extolled was a very gracious and neighborly dlroery. Have your verbs f sclal Inter-

V. L "Never th less," or "13ut" Having tried to depict tbe spiritual darkness of Idolatry (8:20-22), the prophet turns, with this word, to present s .

"Afflicted, . . . brought into contempt.' etc Ths thought of the old rendering seems tg be that the ravages of the enemy grew ever worse and worse, but the revision rendering turns the thought to the Mme when what was once contemptible shall be made glorious. "Zebulun, Napbtali." The names of the tribes to whom the northern section of ths land had been assiened sre given to indicate what was later known as Upper and Lower Galilee. It was in this ver r.;on, upon which the darkness ret Ml :ed, that the light first shone, for Jesus was reared in Galilee, and there w rotight his first miracle, and there did his most successful work. "By ihe way of the sea." Probably the region alone tbe west side of tbe See Of Galilee is meant. V. 2. "People that walked in darkness " People of Judah. "Darkness" ts an expressive terc- for evil of every sort, for sin beclouds tbe mind and blinds the heart. "Walked." Were living "Have seen a great light." The "prophetic future" is used, the prophet speaking as if what he foretold were llraertj ac complished. There is no human soul so dark, from ignorance or sin. but the light of Jesus can penetrate Its gloom. "Shadow of death." Tbe shadow of moral and spiritual d'V.h. as well as national disintegration, rested upon Israel at this time. V pled the nation." This cannot refer to any remarkable increase in Judah s population, but rather turns our attention to the fact that tbe Kingdom of God, once represented by tin J-w.Äh people alone, now Includes men of every race. Moreover, Christianity tends to longevity. The next clause la best In revised vsrsiost, "Thou hss increased their Joy." The people shall have Increased comfort and prosperity. V. 4. "Broken the yoke." The yoke is a common figure of subjection. As

God released his people from the yoke their oppressors at times put upon them, so Chrl6t releases his redeemed cn s from captivity to satan. "Staff of his shoulder." Tbe part of the yoke which rested on the shoulders. On each end of this a heavy load hung The taxation levied by a conqueror was often thought of as a yoke. "Rod of the oppressor." It was not uncommon for captives to be beaten with heary goads V. 5. Read In the revisen version. "Armor, garments, blood." All ths horrors commonly seen in war.

character is revealed in the following w.rds It was customary with oriental kings to attach to their names a long list of laudatory epltheta.

In His words and works, snd nn st wonderful In His boundless love. "Counsellor." He stands ready to use His perfect wisdom In our behalf, counseling us what steps to take. "The mighty God." He does not cease to be God by becoming man. but will ever lie the equal of the Esther. "Everlasting Father." V. 7. "Increase ... no end." Christ s kingdom goes on Increasing In numbers, power.
