Blodgett. 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. ACKNOWLEDGED IT.

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. Checks Croup Instantly.

For sale in your town by all druggists. 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. The Quinine That Does Not Affect Tho Head IU’cau&r ol its tonic an l laxative effect. LAX A* T1VK BROMO OF IN INK i% better than ordinary Quinine and does uot cause nervousness nor the f»»1l n n m a end 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.

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.

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.

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.

Looking Far Ahead, The vivid imagination of childhood is as a fairy charm for magnifying possibilities.

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’.
