GIVING AT CHRISTMAS TIME.
In thla Ohrlalmas aenaon we .should
hear In mind that a peculiar call for
unstinted and sacrificial giving la upon
us our celebration of the holy sea
arm of Chrlat'a coming upon earth lias
a greater significance than usual this
j ear.
Never before has the world presented
such an object lesson In the fruits of
a mistaken development as It Is today
presenting In this woful, wasteful and
wicked war, the blight and distress of
which has spread Itself In the most re
mote parts of the world. Not for many
and many a year In the past have we
had so much distress and unemploy
ment among our own people, here at
OUr own doors nod at our owtt gates.
How strongly this call for a loving
and self abnegating celebration of
Christmas Is upon us we can better
realise when we consider that the in
numerable horrors and tragedies,
which are the direct and Indirect out
growth of lltla war now are hut the
outcome of an TTnchtist-like attitude
toward Ilfs
If we analyze the suffering of this
world today we shall find that all of
It haa Its cause In the great worship
of material aggrandisement, the great
respect and striving for control and
domination, the great adoration of that
elrangc thing which we cnll "success."
Men and nations are al each other's
throats for "Great Possessions." War,
suffering and strife spring alway. from
the same things; the Inst for power,
the lust for gain one over the other.
Hut when the Christ child waa Imm
In Bethlehem the spirit of love and of
truth brought "Peace on Barth. 47ond
Will Toward Man." There waa left
In the world through Christ's coining,
something sweeter and more satisfying
than all the world's treasures, some
thing to draw poor suffering creatures
away front the destructive longings of
the world’s things, something to lead
them out of strife and suffering Into
a state of comfort and Joy. Is It not
then a privilege to Invest our thoughts,
olir time and our means In those good
and kindly mlnlalrations to one an
other which Jesus Christ In hla life
on earth taught its?
And especially Is this call for giv
ing to the needy Imperative at a lime
when even our well to do and com
fortable people are restricting their
expenditures and consequently shut
ting off the flow of beneficial spending
from those who are looking for means
of working and making
Never was the spreading of good
cheer at Christmas time more neces
sary to carry out the full blessings of
the season. This la not n season of
prosperity, on which an exchange of
costly gifts and s swapping of the
superfluities of life can distant
ly touch the real Christmas spirit. It
Is a season for sacrifice, a aeaaon that
urges generous and unmeasured giving
-not to those who are already amply
provided with the comforts nod good
things of life, but to God’s poor, who
are cold. Insufficiently nourished and
scantily clad. It Is s season In which
there Is s greet end crying need for
making the celebration of Christ's
birth one of rejoicing In peace --present
and to come
PREPARE FOR ANOTHER
CHRISTMAS.
Thsre Is but one thought that can
blight the holy day of Christmaa to
those who celebrate It in Its true moan
ing and that Is the realisation that tn
the great business we make of It. we
crowd out the etrue spirit which should
pervade It. Our gift-giving should
not l>e the mere spending and sending
we are prone to make It.
Tt Is the gift of the heart that
counts If. In the pressure and ex
citement due to the many elaborations
and tasks tn which we enter, we per
mit ourselves to lose poise and forget
that this Is s season of love, we have
failed to keep Christmas In the right
way.
Still, we have yet the lime to make
amends for this error In the quiet
hours of the ending ds\. Ist us use
these sacred hours fittingly In holding
loving and affectionate thoughts of
friends and enemies lad us remem
ber that our enmities and dislikes, our
self love, our wounded pride and our
vanities are things that we must for
get on this day and as the day closes
and another dawns let us carry the
Chrletmas spirit onward, clinging tc
Its wondrous lesson In the union of
human hearts and beginning, even to
morrow, to prepare ourselves more
perfectly for the celebration of the
day a year from hence.

DRUSILLA’S CHRISTMAS TREE.
A f»*w dayn before Christmas Dru
sfUa looked very mysteriouH and when
Bobby .tones looked out one night ho
saw her Hitting In her corner sur
rounded with bundles. Little bundles
, were tied with red ribbon in white
j paper coverings.
j “What have you in the bundles?"
nuked Bobby Jones, not thinking any
thing at nil about Christmas.
“1 Hhnutdn't think you would a«k
question ho near Christmas, Bobby
.lones," replied Druniila.
WA pen
"Christmas doesn't make any dif
ference to us," replied Bobby, "only
there arc more new toys In the play
room anil old ones get slighted for a
while."
"Now. that 1* Just like a boy to
think of Christmas In u selfish way,"
said Drustlla. "hut this year you will
think of It In another way, and a
pleasant way. too, I can tell you, for
we arc going to have n Christinas tree
here In the playroom.”
"You told ine about the one last
year,” said Bobby, "when the baby doll
came, but I didn't see any fun for
me."
"Well, you will tills time," said Dru
allla; “the tree Is to he for us all, and
we will nil have a present, and the
tree la to be a little one for all that
live in the playroom."
Teddy hear pricked up hix earn,
and the monkey swung around and
looked at Drustlla; the paper doll put
| her head out of the window and the
i wooden soldiers stood up and looked
jat each other, saying they did not ex
pect a thing.
Christmas Eve Optimist
On Christum* Eve there Is not much
time to rend so this Christmas mes
sage is brief.
It is a message that has to do with
somethin*: you can fully appreciate,
t even tho you he too poor to have Riven
S more than one remembrance, and that
only a word of greet in*; even thouith
you had power to Rive princely gifts
and Rave them.
It Is a message that must come t«
! you when you sit alone for a moment
during the day, or after Ute Christmas
candles have burned to the socket and
1 only a thin thread of smoke curls up
ward from the black wick.
Whatever gifts you received are good
to have —even tho you Rot only a kind
word from someone.
KYom the kind wont to the costliest
present, they are good to have because
they tell of someone who Is thinking
of you and wishing you well Because
| they voice the heart -and the heart Is
l<ove. and lane Is all
So you think of these gifts or hold
them In your hands or look at them
! and you are glad of them because they
j have brought you Joy.
Then your thoughts stray Into an
other lutthwny.
You think of the gifts you gave. You
l think of them as bearing messages
INDOOR SPORTS - - .By Tad
The little doll that lived In the doll
house came to the door and said
something 1 about having a porch light
for her present, but Drusllla only
looked wise and told them all they
would have to wait until Christmas.
Christmas morning Drusllla's little
mother came into the playroom bring
ing a little tree glistening with tin
sel. and when It was placed on the
table the little bundles that Drustlla
was guarding 111 the corner were put
under the tree and aomp were hung
on It.
"I want Bobby Jones mended so ho
can sit up and sec the tree," said Drti
sllla's little mother to her mother.
.“Poor Bobby Jones has been broken
since he fell right over when you
opened his box, and I have something
(or him on the tree, so ho must be
mended."
Bobby was carried downstairs, and
when he returned he was fast In his
box again.
"Now I will give them their pres
ents." said the little mother. "Here
is a watch and chain for you, Drustlla;
let me put it on you."
Then another package was opened
and a little sweater for Teddy Bear
was In It. “There now, that place the
moths made In your fur won't show
any more, Teddy,” snld the little
mother ns she put It on lilm.
“And. Bobby Jones, here Is a new
cap for you that will cover the place
I where the monkey pulled out your
hair," and Hobby held very still while
It was put on his head.
The paper doll had a new set of
furniture for her dining-room and the
little doll In the house had the light
for her porch Just as she had wished.
Bobby Jones bobbed up and broke
tlie silence of the room that night. “A
Merry Christmas to all!" he called out,
and up came all the heads, and Dru
sllla spoke next.
"What did I tell you. Bobby Jones?
Don't you like Christinas now?" she
asked.
"I should say so," replied Bobby,
wagging his head. "1 feel like a new
man my spring repaired and a new
cap I certainly fared well."
Everybody said they received just
what they wanted, and after talking
nwhile Drusilla took out her watch
and looked at It. "My, It's late.” she
said. "Good night, 1 must go to
sleep."
And the playroom settled down to
slumber, thinking that there was
something In Christmas after all be
sides new occupants for the play
room

from your heart, ns do all true gifts,
and somehow this thought seems to
make you happy. In it you forget
what you have received and It keeps
making you happier.
No, It Is not selfishness, my friend.
There is far less selfishness than men
think and say.
It Is Just the working of one of the
great laws, the law that we get what
we give.
At Christmas time we see It more
clearly,
Thai is all.

ment for use ns armed cruisers, troop
ships, hospital ships and other pur
poses has been drawn up hv an nd
mlralty sub-committee, and from these

GERMANS BOMBARD AND
DESTROY FRENCH
HOSPITAL
Pa ris.—The chateau du Soupir, near
Vailly sur Aisne, transformed into a
military hospital and sheltering a
number of wounded of both armies
has been bombarded and destroyed by
the < Jermans. The chateau belonged
to Madame Boursin, who was the prin
cipal heiress to the great fortune loft
by Chauehard, the department store
magnate, and it contained a consider
able number of rnre works of art that
have been lost. Madame Boursin's
name was frequently mentioned by
Caillaux in the Calmette affair. Cal
mette and Chauehard were close
friends.
CORPORAL, ’ FRENCH ARMY
GIVEN CAP BY GEN. PAU
Amsterdam.— A corporal in the
French army is the proud possessor
of a cap presented to him by General
l au, according to a corresondent of
the Amsterdam Handelsblad.
The corporal stood, with bared head,
In the rain and saluted the general as
he approached.
“Where is your cap?" the general
asked.
"I lost it today when we attacked
through the woods.” the corporal re
plied. "1 was in too great haste to go
hack and get It.”
Instead of punishing the man for
losing Ills cap, the general handed him
his, which was decorated with golden
oak leaves. Other soldiers have ob
jected to the corporal wearing the cap
but It remains on his head.
HIS DEFECT.
“Dr. Jibes seems to he looking down
on the rest of the profession."
“That's on nccount of Ills unpro
fessional conduct."
"In what way?”
"Why, the man will use sny treat
ment at all which will cure the pa
tient."—Baltimore American.
