All rights of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserved. Jesus, Mammon, Faith A weary woman in pain. A manger. A babe. The joy of motherhood and of watching the development of an unusually spiritual character. Then pain again, the pain of grief, when in ignorant people and un spiritual and misguided leaders murdered her misunderstood boy.
A youth in training. The dawn of spiritual insight and its growth into spiritual certainty
and power. The divine urge to share the joy of
spiritual growth and power with one's fellows
The hard work of interesting others in things spiritual. The patience required to train the few
sincere followers in the principles and use of
spiritual power. The tender and miraculous
healing of the sick and the enunciation of ever
lasting rules cf conduct for mankind. The awakening of the forces of materialism to their danger from the divinely inspired spirititual principles that were being taught. The conspiracy. The betrayal- The murder. The return of a great soul to the Divine Father. A few faithful followers left, mourning and stunned by the suddenness of their calamity and the loss of their leader, teacher and friend. Solace in memories of great spiritual principles learned from the master, and of wonderful spiritual experiences undergone together. Consolation in banding together and working to make world-wide the knowledge of those spiritual principles and the coming of the commonwealth of God and the brotherhood of man. The birth of a mighty religion founded on the divins and immutable law of compensation, that as a man sows so shall he reap; the law of justice and yet a justice tempered with the mercy of spiritual love. The consolidation and
simplification of all older commandments into two. Love God with all your heart. Love your neighbor as you love yourself. Two thousand years later the nominal followers of the master and his principles are numbered by the millions. They have just finished waging a war in which twenty or thirty millions
perished. Brother works against brother today !
as to who shall pay the taxes and as to who shall boss industry and seize the largest share of the common production. Mammon, the god of materialism, rules the imagination of man. God and His divine interpreter, seem far off in the cloudsThe weal Christian today, as he survey? storm-tossed mankind, high or low, can only murmur the dying words of the master, "Father, forgive them. They know not what they do." God does rule. Mammon is but an illusion. God's laws rule in every individual and government, in science and theology, in capital and labor, in everything. Underlying all our troubles, individual as well as collective, is this law of God, as you sow you must reap ; the law of compensation, cause and effect. The real Christian knows this is so. Firm in
the spiritual faith of the Master, the faith that
can move mountains, he does not despair. He knows God tempers justice with mercy, else this world had been blotted out centuries ago for its iniquities and materialism. He knows we have all eternity in which to keep on trying to help the individual raise himself from the plane of materialism to that of spirituality.. Such a one does his part by faithfully and persistently trying to live up to the principles of life Jesus taught and lived by. Example wins more to Jesus' way than preaching. The Christmas spirit is in the air. The celebration of Jesus' birthday recalls his sufferings for mankind and strengthens the conviction that man cannot live joyfully and joy is of the soul, pleasure is of the body, the senses unless his principles of living are understood and applied. Let the Christian spirit in our hearts develop. And for these troublous times of our day, let the slogan be this Christmas, "Overcome evil with good."

REMNANT OF RAGE IS LIVINGINTREE HUTS In the interior of Malaya live about 5,000 people, the remnant of an old tree-dwelling race called the Sakai. They dweU in little thatched huts built in trees at the height of from eight to 20 feet. The Sakais are the aborigines of the peninsula. They are rather small and of fairly light complexion, with ugly faces, but well shaped and active bodies. They are not yet provided with modern weapons, but at a distance of 60 feet can shoot darts from their blowguns with almost unerring accuracy, thus getting plenty of small game. In their trees the people ar almost in-
j visible to hunters and explorers who ! thread the wilderness. Some few of
the Sakais have left their forest homes to live in huts on the ground level on the outskirts of the Malay towns. But under British rule the remnant of the tribe seems fairly likely to survive ani to keep its arboreal habits for years to come.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams. Author of "You Can," "Take It," "Up" THE LIVING LESSON OF THE MANGER Christmas celebrates the birth of a child who was born in a manger in Bethlehem, which is in Judea. And around this remarkable birthday have been woven the most beautiful and tender considerations possible to the human heart because this child from His youth up had but one purpose in mind others! His most famous teaching was crystalized in the three words "Do unto others." Now with the closing of the year comes Christmas time, with its inspiration for thinking about others because the One whose birthday it is, spent His whole life thinking and working for others. We are glad that thitf'baby was born in a manger, in simple and humble circumstances. It makes the poorest in money or spirit able lo love and appreciate Him. So thoughtful and democratic was this wonderful person, when grown and even when a child that all classes were drawn to Him. The rich young ruler loved Him. And the woman with the mite who gave all that she had immediately recognized His worth and loveliness of character. Jesus inspired others to think of others. Could greater service be rendered by anyone? Has any task ever paid so happily as the task of helping others? Armful time. Heartful time. Thoughtful time. That's Christmastime. The lesson of the manger OTHERS!

No. 47 The Magnetized Matches A box of matches is shoved open and shown to be. full. The drawer is removed and turned over, but not a match falls out ! They stay as though magnetized in the drawer. To accomplish this, a match Is previously broken off short and wedged crossways in the drawer above the matches, so that it holds them. The drawer is pushed open only a short way at first ; then, when every one has seen the matches there, but have not seen the cross piece, the box is turned upside down, and the drawer completely removed.

Rippling Rhymes By Walt Mason
CHRISTMAS TIME Again the Christmas season brings gladness to the land, and he is fit for treason whose soul does not expand; who does not feei like rising to altitudes surprising and loudly advertising the presents on his sleigh, and little kids are waiting the dawn of Christmas day; and though my years
are eighty, and I have burdens weighty, I'd think myself cheap-skatey if I could not oe gay. At Christmas time Ave hunger for chances to be kind, and all the world is younger, and grouches fall behind; and every normal chappie would make some fellow happy, and Christmas is a snap he is mighty glad to find. My years are nearly ninety, and I have many ills, but while I drink my pine tea, and take my beeswax pills, T hear the Christmas singing; my crutches from
me Hinging, I rise and go a-swinging to coast down icy hills. This is the merry season when lights are all aglow, and Christmas gifts, the trees on, make such a gaudy show; and in the frosty weather the whole bunch gets together, and then, with lungs of leather, sings carols in the snow. And now we're all forgiving the grudges of the past, and we are glad we're living in amity at last ; and if there is a fellow whom Christmas doesn't mellow, his heart is surely yellow, and he should stand aghast!
A visitor in an Australian home inquired of his host's little son, "Do you go to school now?" "Yes, sir." "And what do you learn reading, writing, sums?" "Oh. yes, and I learn religion, too." "Religion?" "Yes, I learn the little religion which teaches that we all came from Adam. But my older brother is in a higher class; he learns the big religion, and that teaches that we all come from monkeys."

YALE BUILDINGS TELL GOTHIC DEVELOPMENT
In the Harkness quadrangle at Yale
University the architect, James Gam
ble Rogers, has created, in keeping
with the express wishes of the univer
sity authorities, a group of Gothic buildings that it is believed will bear comparison wth any in the world.
Based primarily upon Tudor Gothic,
they yet embody many varieties of the
style and include, as a matter of fact
elements that the curious student will
find tell practically the whole story of
Gothic development. In their marvelous details and pic
turesqueness they are the most dis
tinctive collegiate buildings in exist
ence. There is a remarkable and enticing variety of designs in their con
struction and the most surprising play
of fancy.

TOPIC OF HUMORISTS From the Boston Transcript We are told that there are but 14 subjects used in our national humor, and all jokes center about these topics. Among them the umbrella stands in the front rank, next to the mother--In-law jokes. It ha3 been the butt of ridicule and humor for many years.

"Are you afraid someone will steal them?" asks the wife. "No, I'm afraid someone will recognize them." "Jones, will you lend me an umbrella to get home with?" "Sure, old man. Just wait till I photograph it. I want something to remember it by."
"Why are you looking so anxiously at the hat rack?" asks a diner of a! friend at the restaurant. "I'm watch- j
