The Message of Christmas.
Cardinal Gibbon*.
To-day (ho whole Christian world
prostrates itself in adoration around
the crib of Bethlehem and rehearses in
accents of love a history which precedes
all timoand will endure throughout eter
nity. If asked to explain the raptur
ous influence which controls us we have
no other words than the evangel of joy
which the angel gave unto earth, “For
this day is born unto you a Saviour,
who is Christ the Lord."
The blessings resulting from our
Christian civilization are poured out so
regularly and abundantly on the intel
lectual, moral and social world, like the
sunlight and the air of heaven and the
fruits of the earth, that they have
ceased to excite .any surprise, except
to those who visit lands where the re
ligion of Christ, is little known.
Before the advent, of Christ the whole
world, with the exception of the se
cluded Roman province of Palestine,
was buried in idolatry. Men worshiped
the sun, moon and stars of heaven.
They worshiped everything except find
only, to whom alone divine homage is
due. OhriHt, the Light of the World,
proclaimed unto all men in its fulness
the truth which had hitherto been hid
den in Judea. He taught mankind to
know the one true God, a God existing
from eternity unto eternity, a God who
created all things by Ilia power, who
governed all things by His wisdom,
and whose superintending providence
watches over the alfairs of nations as
well as of men, "without whom not.
even a sparrow falls to the ground."
The message of Christmas day is in
tended for all men, for all times, for
all conditions of existence. Only by
stern adhesion to the principles therein
contained can individuals and nations
hope to share in that pence which has
been promised to men of good will.
To violate them is to reverse the order
established by God, and disorder is the
synonym for sin and strife.
Christmas Spirit Abides.
Ituv. 1*. S. Hflttnnn, It, I).
Wondrous indeed was the mission of
the Christ Child! He gave Himself to
the world on the first Christinas day,
and with Him canto every oilier good
gift.
With him came bountiful tables and
good cheer in lordly and homely homes
and happy parents and merry children.
Men's hearts thawed out, nnd long
faces grew shorter, nnd sad eyes twin
kled with glee, and evergreens sparkled
with candles and bore marvelous fruit
of loving giftR, simple or costly, in mil
lions of homes.
The trees wither; thp toys get broken;
the gronning tables are lightened of
their load. Dec. ‘Jh is succeeded by the
cold, dnrk days of mid-winter, hut the
spirit of Christmas abides. In u way
every day is a Christmas day, for the
Christ spirit does not take its (light.
Every day of the year ministering spir
its go about their hunthle, homely
tasks. Every day someone is catching
the blessed contagion of Christmas and
learning that it is more blessed to give
than to receive.
Ah, yes, every day is a Christmas
day to hint who learns this secret of se
crets!
The custom of giving presents at the
Christmas season originated hack as far
hack as ISfi years after the birth of
Christ. In histories we find references
to the giving of presents at the Christ
mas season. The custom of singing
Christmas carols is also ns old as the
one of giving Christmas gifts.

The Greatest Gift.
flov. R. A. Torr«»y.
Christmas stands for one thing—our
Father's wondrous love to us, His
erring and unworthy children, in send
ing His only begotten Son into thiH
world to die for our sins and to rise
again to be our Deliverer each day
from sin and selfishness.
Jesus Christ himself is the great
Christmas gift. The only true way to
keep Christmas is by first of all accept
ing for ourselves this wondrous gift of
our Heavenly Father, and then to show
our appreciation of this wondrous gift
by giving ourselves and all that we
have for others.
It is a true instinct that leads us to
give to others Christmas presents, hut
too often in following out this instinct
we give these Christmas gifts to the
wrong persons. We give to those who
already have too much, and forget those
who have not enough.
God gave His great gift to the needy,
to those who had nothing to return for
His gift. Let us follow Him. Let us
find the needy and give to them out of
our abundance. Everyone who is in
comfortable circumstances should find
some family that is really in need-
some family where there will be little
Christmas brightness unless others come
to their help and give to this family
a real Christmas, including a good
Christmas dinner and some appropriate
gift to every member of the family,
down to the youngest child.
Don’t do it through some society.
What is most needed is living a,nd sym
pathetic personal conlact between rich
and poor. Do this and you will have as
merry a Christmas as you ever knew.
Festival For the Young.
Christmas, the celebration of the
birthday of the Divine Child, is pe
culiarly the children’s festival. And
while it cannot, too, hut be a time of
special rejoicing among grown-ups, we
realize after nil, that it has no other
charm to compare witli the pleasure we
take in some kiddy’s delight over the
doll or drum or picture book that our
special Santa Claus has brought him.
This opportunity of making some
child’s Christmas one of surpassing joy,
of which he will carry a gracious and
ennobling memory into after life, years
it may be, after our direct influence
for good or evil will have ceased for
ever—this opportunity of giving pleas
ure is one of the best that life has to
offer us. And perhaps the greatest
opportunity is his who, in place of home
ties, has the wide, gray world of
homeless, loveless, unhappy childhood
from which to choose the most needy
recipient of his Christmas giving. The
chances of giving happiness in this way
are so mnny, the means so simple, and
the deed itself ro worthy, that, no one
of us should let the season pass unim
proved.

It was the custom among Romans to
exchange gifts at their winter festival,
and this custom may have descended to
us from antiquity. But Christians like
to feel that it was because the wise
men brought gifts to the infant Jesus,
nnd because of the gift of God to the
world. Gifts to the poor seem from the
earliest bihle times to have been an ex
pression of a thankful heart.

Pay Your Bills.
Columbia S. C.' State.
There is a marvelous amount of en
ergy in b ten-dollar bank note, once it
is set in motion.
It will pay a plumber what is due him.
And the plumber’s debt to the elec
trician.
And his, in turn, to the grocer, who
can hand it over to the clothier.
In a week’s time a ten-dollar bank
note may do the work of $1,000.
"Money makes the mare go,” but
what is wanted in Columbia now is
what will make money go into circula
tion.
In other words, the help-your-neigh
hor-and-help-yourself spirit is the idea
behind "Pay Up Week."
A ten-dollar bank note lying idle
when you owe it may enforce idleness
of other men whose families must have
bread and shelter.
To hoard money is never a nice thing
to do—it stands in the way of com
munity progress.
Inactive money is lazy money, and
lazy money means idle men.
When a man has ten dollars and owes
his grocer or his plumber, he is hoard
ing other people’s money so long as he
doesn’t pay a hill with it.
There is money enough in South Car
olina to keep everybody busy, but it is
first necessary to make the money get
busy.
The plan is for every man to pay his
hills, or to pay that pare of his bills
that he can pay.
When times are hard, then every
man’s dollar should work hardest.
Christmas Again!
Itov. Nowell D. Ilillls, D. D.
Once more the hallowed, gracious
Christmas time is upon the earth. At
last the long year of toil over tools and
arts and industries is all hut ended.
The Christmas festival, dedicated to
happiness and good will, has come.
This morning the whole city has awak
ened to quadruple joy. The very at
mosphere of our earth is rosy, stained
with the rich colors of the heart. All
windows are bright with holly and ever
green. Parents have discovered that it
is more blessed to give than to receive.
Joy runs riot in the hearts of little chil
dren. Youth overflows with animal
spirits. Suddenly the aged have shed
their years and become young again.
Before the light had fully dawned the
carols had begun to bo heard in the
churches. And every passing hour will
behold larger multitudes thronging to
these temples of the soul. All feel that
no flowers are sweet enough, no songs
bright enough, no gifts rich enough for
tho Christmas day. For once, all strife
and enmity have disappeared from the
market place.
Mrs. McClain’s Experience With
Croup.
“When my boy, Ray, was small he
was subject to croup, and 1 was al
ways alarmed at such times. Chamber
lain’s Cough Remedy proved far better
than any other for this trouble. It al
ways relieved him quickly. I am never
without it in the house, for 1 know it is
a positive cure for croup," writes Mrs.
W. R. McClain, Blairsville, Pa. For
sale by all dealers.
Almighty God, we give Thee thanks
for the mighty yearning of the human
heart for the coming of a Savior, and
the constant promise of Thy word that
He was to come. In our own souls we
repeat the humble sighs and panting
aspirations of ancient men and ages, and
own that our souls are in darkness and
infirmity without faith in Him who
comes to bring God to m.in and man to
God. We bless Thee for the tribute
that we can nay to Him from our sense
of need and dependence, and that our
own hearts can so answer from their
wilderness the cry, "Prepare ye the
way of the Lord.” In us the rough
places ure to he made smooth, the
crooked straight, the mountains of
pride brought low and the valleys of
despondency lifted up. 0, God, prepare
Thou the way in us now, and may we
welcome anew thy Holy Child! Hosan
na! Blessed he He who eometh in the
name of the Lord. Amen.

Tells How Vinol Restores
Strength arid Vitality to the
Weak, Worn-Out Ones in
Her Charge.
Rosary Hill Home, Hawthorne, N,Y-
— "I have been at work among the sick
and poor for nearly eighteen years, and
whenever I have used Vinol for run
down, wenk or emaciated patients, they
have been visibly benefited by it One
patient, a young woman, was so weak
and ill she could hardly creep to my door
for aid, and was leaning on a friend’s
arm. I supplied Vinol to her liberally
and in a month when she returned to
thank me I hardly recognized her. She
was strong, her color charming and her
cheeks rounded out. These words are
uttered from my heart, in order that
more people may know about Vinol, as
there is nothing makes me happier in
the world than to relieve the sick. ’’—
Mother M. Alphonsa Latiirop.O.S.D.,
Hawthorne, N.Y,
Such disinterested and reliable testi
mony should convince everyone of the
merits of Vinol, our delicious cod liver
and iron tonic to build up health and
strength for all weakened and nervous
conditions, whether caused from over
work, worry or chronic coughs and colds.
If Vinol falls to benefit we return your
money.

Snakes in United States.
There are 19 varieties if rattle
snakes in the United States, one cop
perhead, and one water-moccasin.
The rattlesnake, of course, can always
be told by its rattle. The timber rat
tlesnake is the commonest. It grows
sometimes as long as five feet, but is
rarely found over two or three feet in
length. It haunts the woods in hilly
or mountainous regions, as does the
copperhead. Both live on rabbits,
squirrels^ and other animals which
they generally catch at night.
Centsr of British Industry.
Within two or three hours by rail
and linked to tiu^River Humber by

to 15,000.000 people, mostly engaged
in manufacturing and mining, and
largely exporting their products to
foreign lands and receiving from
abroad the bulk of their raw material
and food supplies. Seed crushing,
flour milling, oil refining, and the mak
ing of paints and other goods into
which those oils enter, are the special
industries of Hull, England.
Like Wasted Time to Johnny.
Johnny, aged six, was permitted to
have his friend Teddy stay over night
with him. On getting ready for bed
they both knelt down to say their pray
ers, and nil went well, but in the morn

ns Teddy was again saying his pray
ers, just in time to hear Johnny say:
"What are ya savin’ your prayers
now for anyway, ya haven’t done

May Be New Ceylon Industry.
The production in Ceylon, on a suf
ficiently large scale, of acetic acid, if
it be successfully accomplished, will
be a notable instance of a new In
dustry being born as a result of war.
The possibility of turning the "milk"
in the eocoanut into acetic acid is now
receiving the attention of the authori
ties in Colombo, nnd this probable ad
ditional source of supply will be wel
comed.
Looking Far Ahead,
The vivid imagination of childhood
is as a fairy charm for magnifying
possibilities. A small boy, being di
rected to empty his bulging pockets,
brought forth among other strange
treasures a circular piece of rub
ber. Asked its nature and purpose he
made answer: “Well, that a real good
washer. I’m going to start an auto
mobile shop with it some day."
Something Worth Bragging About.
One day I decided to visit one of
my old friends and to take my little
niece, five years old, with me. We
were talking about dishes and my
friend got one of her highly-prized
hand-painted plates and was tolling
me how much she valued It, when the
little girl broke in: "Oh, that’s nuflin’.
Why, we live in a hand-painted house.”
