; ' Christmas "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward man." The song of the heavenly host finds a responsive chord in the hearts of millions of people this Christmas. In lands where twelve months ago steel-throated cannon emitted the coarse bellow of hatred and death, and in other lands -v where the far-off cannonade made men and women tremble for fear of the things that were still to come,' the multitudes tomorrow will give adoration and thanks to the Prince of Peace. ' Peace dwells on earth this Christmas day even if the effects of war still stare us in the face. The clash of arms, the roar of cannon, the yells of defiance have been stilled on the battlefield; and in the lowly cottage and the stately mansion, moth

ers and fathers, brothers and sisters, may well

join the Magnificat of the Virgin Mary: "He hath shewed strength in his arm; he

hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. "He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree." And even in the homes where the war caused bereavement, the star of Bethlehem shines brightly, for unto their occupants have come the knowledge and consolation that their sons and fathers have not died irr vain, but, even as the Prince of Ccace, have offered their lives as a vicarious sacrifice-that others might be free and

happy, for "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." Of all the belligerent nations, America has suffered least in men slain and property ruined. Great in proportion should be her exemplification of the Christmas spirit in helping the stricken countries. What whole-souled man or woman, enjoying the comforts of his home and the associations of his relatives and friends, tomorrow will not pause for a few miryites to think of the fate of a great portion of the populations of England, France, Belgium, Serbia, Roumania, Syria and Armenia! What horrors have not been visited on these peoples ! What crimes have not been perpetrated in their realm! Who of us can feel the sentiments that fill the hearts of millions on Christmas the day of

rejoicing and happiness! Only fortitude of heroic proportions and resignation of the superlative degree will enable them to believe that Christmas Day 1918 has a faint gleam of joy for them. We, who know not the gnawing pangs of hunger, who never have experienced the despair of the soul helplessly struggling against an inexorable fate that is slowly drawing it into the abyss, cannot enter into the suffering of these people. And the children ! Would that the thought of these million little, ones would not obscure with their hunger-drawn faces and gaunt bodies the picture of our 1918 Christmas! How many of them will survive to try to forget the 1918 holiday in the joy of Christmas 1919 ? What one of these unfortunate tots will not in later years think of Christmas 1918 with bitterness and hatred in his heart for the men who were criminally responsible for the war? For us Americans, basking in the sunshine of plenty and prosperity, the Christmas of 1918 brings an appeal for" help which we cannot ignore in 1919. Our Christmas meditation is incomplete

if within us does not ripen the decision to do our

part to alleviate the suffering of the war-stricken nations.

GAMBLERS ALL. A worthy pastor told his congregation last Sunday night that gambling was a Pin. Nevertheless, regardless of our good intentions, we are gam'biers all.

Suddenly tho little girl felt impelled to ask a question: "Mother," she called in a shrill voice, aren't we going to wash the dishes?" Ex-Ambassador Walter Hines Page used to be an editor, and like all editors he refused a great many stories . A lady once wrote to him: "Sir: You sent back last week a story of mine. I know you did not read this story. For, as a test, I had pasted together pages 18, 19 and 20, and the story came back with these pages still pasted, and so I know you are a fraud, and turn down stories without reading same."

BETTER THAN PLASTERS FOR LAME BACK

Mr. Pago wrote back: "Madame: At breakfast, when I find an egg is bad, I don't have to eat the whole of It In order to make sure."

A western soldier bad been in the

army more than a year. His greatest desire had been to go over, but the government evidently needed his services more on this side. Following Is an extract from his letter of October: "After the war folks will say, 'What were you doing during the war?' and I'll have to tell 'em I fought in the grand battle of the Spanish Flu with the Ninth division somewhere In Alabama."
