Spain has been in a civil war for over two years. Many people have been killed and buildings and other property destroyed. This war is still being waged and the outcome is still doubtful. Japan, though only a small island, has tried taking China, because the people of China are less civilized and prosperous than the people of Japan, This trouble has held the attention of the world for months, and no terms of peace have been reached. Germany, a very war-like, land- hungry, money-thirsty country of Europe, has triumphantly taken Austria without firing a gim.

She left them without home, food, or money, America has not entered into any war but is anxiously looking on to see the outcome of these troubles. As she looks and waits to hear the results, let her, too,think of the Angel's words "Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men.” * 5|« sf: ie ♦ The Sublimeness of Christmas Christmas is a holiday which should be celebrated in a quiet reverent man ner, We do not seem to realize that a sacred occasion gave us this day to com memorate, It is our Saviour’s birthday, and He came to the earth to save us from sin.
