and hearth fires glow with a warmer
welcome. Every home is filled with
cheer, every face alight with happiness
and every heart is tuned to catch the
message of love and peace that is
abroad. Men and women greet each oth¬

dren stand eager-eyed and radiantly
expectant. All ^mianity is filled deep
with the desire to give, to serve, to
love. A new bond of fellowship is en¬
circling the world and bringing hearts

full of some strange, wonderful force
that fills us with exhilaration and de¬
light. Youth grows more tolerant of
age and age looks with new under¬
standing into the eyes of youth.
Streets are crowded with happy
throngs—shops are filleoUto overflow¬
ing with gift seekers. Thousands of
Christmas stockings are to be filled—
thousands of older hearts are to be
made happy because they are remem¬
bered. The gospel that it is more
blessed to give than to receive is in
evidence everywhere, and its practice
is bringing radiance and beauty to
every face.
Is Christmas gleaming has the come sky—its again—its magic star is J j
in
all over the land! The young and the j

under its spell. And every heart is
singing the song of the angels—the
song that echoed over the hills of
Judea in the long ago —“Glory to God
in the highest and on earth peace,
good will toward men.”

Christmas in Venice Is
No Thriller for Yanks
't'I HIKE United States destroyers
A came into port at Venice to spend
the Christmas holidays. It was Christ¬
mas Eve. The narrow, winding streets
of Venice that lead off from the Piazza
San Marco were thronged with United
States gobs. Id almost every gondola
one could see the small round cap of
an American sailor. Out In the har¬
bor were the three ships, all lighted
with red and green electric bulbs
which were reflected In the blue¬
blackness of the water. There was rt
large Christmas tree in electric lights
on one of the decks. It was a glorious
sight—particularly to American eyes—
these modern American war boats
ablaze with Christmas cheer.
“I suppose you are thrilled,” I said
to one of the gobs, "to be spending
Christmas at Venice?”
“Thrilled?” he echoed. “Say, this is
the worst town I ever struck In all my
life—no movies—no trolley cars—
nothing! Believe me, I’ll be glad to
get hack to good old Springfield.
When I think of a real American
Christmas dinner, the old log fire
there at home, and the family—”
There was a tremor in his voice and
I turned away as I saw him reach for
his handkerchief to daub his eyes.—

one privilege, but to be able to go
home for Christmas is another.
Charles felt it keenly this very mo¬
ment. lie had the first privilege—
and was fifteen hundred miles from
home. However, mid the rush and
tumble of sorting Christmas packages,
stacks of letters, and cards, he hardly
had time to grieve.
The postmaster could not under¬
stand how Charles could turn out so
much more work
than the others.
It was all very
simple. He eager¬
ly searched every
card, letter, or
package to see
whether or not It
bore his name,
hurrying on to
the next one.
“I surely do
get great fun out
of this,” burst
forth Charles.
“This one Is
heavy as lead,
slides around in
the box like a
cake on a
Silence followed, broken only by the
constant thud of the "good will mes¬
sages.”
“I say,” shouted some one across
the room. “Your name is Llefler, isn’t
it? I was just cussing this heavy,
bungiesome thing when I discovered
the name.”
“It’s heavy,” said Charles making
a wild dash. “It rattles?”
An hour later, the postmaster mak¬
ing his tour of inspection, stopped
open-mouthed, gazing at one corner
of the room. There, sitting on the
floor, was the happiest boy in the
world. The Captain, as the boys ad¬
miringly called him, understood now
why Charles’ work had accumulated
In the last fifty minutes. Around him
on the floor was a sea of tissue paper,
ribbons, stickers, and gifts. Riding the
crest of each wave were smiles. His
radiant face was a joy to behold. The
postmaster grinned. Charles felt some
one looking at him and glanced up
into the eyes of his employer. /
“It is Christmas, Cap, from down
home.”

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL
T Lesson r
(By REV. P. B. FITZWATER. D.D., Dean
of the Evening School, Moody Bible In¬
stitute of Chicago.)
(©. 1925. Western Newspaper Union.)
Lesson for December 27
REVIEW—FROM ATHENSTO ROME
REVIEW—From Athens to Rome.
GOLDEN TEXT — Therefore, being
by faith, we have peace with
God through our Lord Jesus Christ.—
Iiom. 5:1.
PRIMARY TOPIC—How Paul Helped
the Poor.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Helping Others by
Our Gifts.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP¬
IC —Paul, the Missionary.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP¬
IC-—Paul the Christian.
The lessons of the quarter gather
about Paul. The review therefore will
have to do with his character, service
and teachings. A good method of re¬
view is to study the salient points
with the leading teachings of each
lesson. The following suggestions are
offered:
October 4.
Paul took advantage of the oppor¬ |
tunity to preach the gospel to the |
Jews in tlie synagogue at Athens, and j
to such of the Gem ties and Jews as
were found in the market-place, call¬
ing upon all to repent because of I
God's appointed day of judgment by
Jesus Christ.
October 11.
Though compelled to work for a liv¬
ing while getting a foothold in Corinth,
Paul zealously preached the gospel
even in the face of violent opposition.
In this time of his great need God en¬
couraged him by giving him a vision.
God always comes to the help of Ilis
servants in their greatest need.
October 18.
The Spirit's best gift is love. It is
best because of its essential qualities
and also because every believer can
have and exercise it.
October 25.
Paul with dauntless courage preached
the gospel at Ephesus, and here his
preaching resulted in u glorious awak¬
ening. Where the gospel is preached
in tlie power of the Holy Spirit men
will believe In Christ and turn from
their wicked ways, even giving up
wrong kinds of business.
November 1.
The Christian has a strong enemy to
fight, a personal being called tlie
devil. He must meet him in offensive
and defensive warfare. His strength
and armor are from the Lord. The
way to get strength to wage the con¬
flict Is by prayer to God.
November 8.
Paul with Undaunted courage pressed
on toward Jerusalem, knowing that
bonds and affliction awaited him. As
lie took leave of the Ephesian elders
he warned them of the false teachers
who would arise among them, and as¬
sured them that he had declared tlie
whole counsel of God.
November 15.
Despite Paul’s eagerness to concili¬
ate the people in Jerusalem, he was
arrested. Because of Ids passion to
preach the gospel, he witnessed to the
angry mob which was striving to kill
him.
November 22.
Though falsely nccused and ar¬
raigned before the wicked governor,
Paul witli becoming dignity and
courtesy defended himself in such a
way as to win the favor of Felix.
November 29.
Paul defended himself before Agrip
pa and so wisely and confidently used
the Scriptures as to almost persuade
Agrippa to become a Christian.
December 8.
Paul's behavior on the voyage and
during the shipwreck displayed his
sublime faitli In God as well as his
remarkable bravery and common sense.
December 13.
Upon Paul’s arrival in Rome he was
greatly heartened by (he reception
given him by the brethren who came
to meet him. Paul was intensely hu¬
man. He, like his Lord, craved human
fellowship.
December 20.
If tlie summary of Paul’s life was
the lesson used on this Sunday, the
review should be the vision of the
veteran soldier of the cross, near the
close of his life, declaring, “I have
fought a good fight, I have finished
my course, I have kept the faith: there
is therefore laid up for me a crown
of righteousness which the Lord, the
righteous judge, will give to me at
that day.”
If the Christmas lesson was used
for this day, the method of review
should be to picture the wise men
seeking Jesus, Herod seeking to kill
Him, and the finding of Jesus in Beth¬
lehem.
Our Thanks
Our thanks should be as fervent for
mercies received as our petitions for
mercies sought.
Must Enjoy Work
No one who does not enjoy work
can truly enjoy anything else.—Ray¬
mond.
Faithful
“He that is faithful In that which
Is least is faithful also in much.”
Bookkeeper Really
Had “Kick” Coming
President Alfred I’. Sloan, Jr., of
General Motors, who lias bought tlie
Important Austin motor firm of Eng¬
land for iiis company, said in New
York the other day:
“You must keep on the jump if
you don't want to meet with un¬
pleasant surprises.
“A staid old bookkeeper—a ,too
staid old bookkeeper—had worked
for the same concern 27 years, and
a new clerk complained to him one
afternoon:
“ ’I’ve been here three months now,
and it’s time I had a raise.'
“ ‘Keep your shirt on,’ said the old
bookkeeper. ‘I was here three years
before I got my first raise. By the
way, what is your salary, anyhow?’
'“A measly twenty dollars,’ said
ttie clerk.
“'Holy smoke!’ roared the book¬
keeper. ‘Mine’s only eighteen !’ ”
Watch Cuticura Improve Your Skin.
On rising and retiring gently smear
the face with Cuticura Ointment.
Wash off Ointment in five minutes
with Cuticura Soap and hot water. It
is wonderful what Cuticura will do
for poor complexions, dandruff, itching
and red, rough hands.—Advertisement.
Water in Steeples
Being desirous of using tlie steeples
of its unused churches as water fow
ors, the village of I’odmoshie, in the
Dmltrovsky district Just outside of
Moscow, has applied to the Moscow
Soviet for a ruling. The village nu
thorities argue that such a utilitarian
diversion would greatly reduce the
cost of the new water-works system.
The provincial Soviet decided that as
churches that are not used for divine
services can lie converted to secular
purposes with tlie consent of their con¬
gregations. they might he embodied in
the water system provided engineers
pronounced them safe.

from Cuts, Burns, Wounds and Sores. Ap¬
ply Hanford’s Balsam of Myrrh; it prevents
infection and heals. 3 sizes, all stores.—Adv.
Vanity Cases for Men
Vanity cases for men, in which are
carried pipe, tobacco pouch, key ring,
comb, nail file and other necessities
that make a man’s pockets bulge, are
the latest fad In London, says Popu¬
lar Science Monthly. There is room
in the bag also for an extra collar and
a mirror.

WHY BOTHER
WITH BITTER DRUGS
The Old-Fashioned Idea That
Medicine Must Be Bitter
Has Passed Away.
If you have taken much medicine
In your life as most sufferers from
stomach troubles have, you will ap¬
preciate the wonderful difference
when you taste Royal Germeteur.
It is as pleasant to take as lemon¬
ade and is a most efficient germ!,
cide and ellmlnanl
Dr King's Royal Germeteur is
particularly efficient with all those
diseases which find their origin in
faulty secretion of the internal
glands. Internal secretions or the
substances manufactured by the
glands of the body,- play a large
part in the economy of life, for it
Is upon their secreting properly
that nature Is able to properly con¬
trol and build up the human body.
The body is the most intricate ma¬
chine, and like all machines there
must be wear aDd necessity for
repair.
Dr. King’s Royal Germeteur Is
Nature’s aid in restoring those in¬
ternal glands to their normal func¬
tioning powers when diseased and
run down. Dyspepsia,.torpid liver,
nervous headaches, biliousness are
all signs of internal disorder. Heed
the signs. Buy a bottle of King's
Royal Germeteur from your drug¬
gist today, or send $1.00 to the
manufacturer, Ellis-Jones Drug Co,
Memphis, Tenn., if your druggist
is unable to supply.—Adv.
