(MIIIRCH, NVKLDON. X (V THH MODEL CHURCH, VC'ell wife, I've found tlie model church. I've worshiped there today ! It made me think of good old times The meetin'-house was fixed up more ! u... .1...,. I f..i. .!,., I ..,, ; ;. ,, 1..1I1 lilt.li 1 IVIl .ll.il I ULI'I III II The sexton didn't se.it iiic way hack by the door, He knew ih.it I was old u.i.l deaf, as well as old and poor. I le must have been a Chri-iian, for he led me through The lone aisle ol that crowded chinch to tied a place and pew. I wish you'd liea. d ihat singin' it had the oKl iime ring. The preacher said with trumpet voice, "Let all the people sing." The tune was Cc'oiiuiion, and the music upward rolled, Till I thought I heard the angels striking on their harps of gold. .My deafness seemed to melt away, my spirit caught the fire ; I joined my feeble, ti emblin;; voice w ith that melodious choir, And sang as in m;; youthful days, "Let angels prostrate fall. Bring forth the royal diadem and crown Him Lord of all." I tell you wife, it did me good to hear that hymn once more ; I felt like some wrecked mariner who gets a glimpse of shore. I almost wanted to lay down this weather-beaten form And ancligr in the blessed port forever from the storm. The preacher? Well, I can't just tell all the preacher said, I know it wasn'i written, 1 know it wasn't read ; He hadn't lime to rerd it, for the lightnin' from his eye Went tlasliin' 'long from pew to pew, nor passed a sinner by. The sermon wasn't flowery, 'twas simple Gospel truth ; Ii Hued poor old men like me, it fitted hopeful youth. 'Twns full of consolation for weary hearts that bleed, 'Twas full of invitation to Christ, and not to creed. The preacher made sin hideous in Gentile and in Jew ; He shot the golden sentences down in the finest pew, And though I can't see very well, 1 saw the falling tear That told me hell was some way off and heaven very near. How swift the golden moments fled within that holy place !' How brightly beamed the light of heaven from every happy face ! Again 1 longed for that sweet time when friend shall meet with friend, "Where congregations ne'er break up and Sabbaths have no end." I hope to meet the minister- the congregation, loo In that dear home beyond the stars tluiNhine from heaven's blue. I doubt not I'll remember, beyond life's evening gray, The happy hour of worship in the model church today. Dear wife, the fight will soon be fought, the victory be won ; The shinin' goal is just ahead; the race is nearly run. O'er the river we are nearin' they are ihrongin' to the shore To shout our safe arrival where the weary weep no more. John H. Yates CHRISTMAS DONT'S. Don't let Christmas giving deterioate into a trade. i Don't try to piy debt or re turn obligation in your Christ inas giving. Don't einbnrrass yourself by giving more than you can uf ford. Don't give trashy things. Many tin nltie could tell strange stories about Christmas pres ents. Don't make presents which your friends will not know what to do with, and which would merely '.'iicuniber the home. i ?fvvin:i?..iW:-r, y before my hair was gray. than they were years ago. ,,.', i,.,;i, fr ,im. 1:i I I'Olll H'l llttt.

They are all God's erentures-these needy ones clothed in His image and numbered among the elect for whom the Great Sacrifice as made. Let us help them t-t an understanding of what Christmas Hay means. For the sake of Him who gave li s only Begotten Son u gift to the world eschew the narrow, mean spirit that decries the custom of gift giving; it is sym bo'ioof the precious Christinas gilt the Heavenly Father gave to "he world near two thousand years ago; and it is the spirit ual consciousness attendant upon this inspired custom that brings its own reward -the desei'ibable feeling ' de 'p contentment attend ui n a good deed well done, in- of ant So lil ewise, the man or woman wuo seeks to banish from the fu'ryland of childhood the beau til ul myth of Santa Clans is an eremy to the human race.

THERE is one way to make a white Christmas even though there may be not a (lake of snow in sight. Let the whiteness be in your heart. Put aside all thoughts of guile, l'orget all the big or little bitter ness you may be entertaining against some other person. Cast out all envy, all covetous ness, all unkindness. Endeav or to harbor in your heart only such thoughts and feelings as the Nazarene knew when He dwelt by Galilee. Cultivate human brotherhood. Practice Christian charity. Look beyond and above your workaday ho rizon. Get out of yourself. Get into the hearts of others. , Then you will be sure of a white Christmas this year.

The (ilorinus Christmas Tide as Associated With the Blessed Savior, Whose Wonder-working Personality was Never So Potent As Today So Insislent and Tenderly Sure. All the old tmublous tptes t inns of the origin and desti ia tion of the Halilee Carpenter have passed. All the medieval j worriineiit in discriminating between human and divine has gone, all the puzzled inquiry into the miraculous. Xo long er is mankind stirred over the non-essential. Theories of Him fade, away, dogmas of His na ture lose their charm His gentleness lias conquered. His influence continues and widens Slowly brightening, the (ileum that touched Him spreads through the world. His face moves on the face of civiliza tion, mid makes it kindlier ev- erv generation. The touch of His hand is on the grief-strick out, but never the tires of His spirit, which answer each other from mountain top to mountain top across the continents. And deep into the heait of the peo ple they make family life sweeter and ease the bitterness of failure and ignorance and all life's completeness. That wonder-working personality was never so potent as today so in sistent and tenderly sure, ru der a thousand forms, creeds ami names, men serve Him. Anil however far we go in the conquest of nature, identifying the N'orth Pole, climbing the sky prying open electrical forces, mapping out the subliminal, di- I niinishing sin, disease, war, novertv. ignorance alwavs in J the advance will lie that gra I cioiis ti iru re of the Sinless One who showed Love as the rule of life. One Perfect Man al dent and gentle the race will never tire of Him. l ie holiday stunt inheres in the merriment of children, a religious glow for all partici- ' pants, a burst of generosity for i those less favored, ami a sense j of universal peace. Stated more i concretely, the deep concerns I of the day are the child, the family, the church and the ooor. Its active celebration consists in releasing the good will of each heart through mi sellish action or gratitude. lis atmositheres derives from the old-time attractive belief that at a certain season of the veal' there was a Peace of God. with a laying down of arms ami a cassation of strife. The hope of the day is that there shall be all extension of the a-ea and time limit of that peace till it gathers in the nations ami in terpeiietriites the daily strug gle of the individual. A hol iday season offers us the chance to step out anil look at our work, and the spirit and the purpose of the work. It i" R seventh-day nflirination of the worth of the six days of head long creative activity. Like the Gobelin tapestry weavers we are mostly on t he wrong side of our own pattern. It is profoundly good once a year to see that the outworking is gra cious and progressive. The deeper mood of Christmas is quieting to the perturbed spirit of us. We are permitted to glimpse the eternal order to know that the near foreground is torn and swaying with blind struggle and muddy turmoil, but that behind it, for all the reaches of space,' there is the assurance of a great peace.
