cruelties and horrors ot the most inhuman war t tic world
has known. To many ol i.s ihei c have c mie niomcnis
when it has almost seemed, us someone has said, that the
Infinite Justice had been n o long neutral in this war. Hut
such moments do not last. Faith horn ol the great Christ
mas message, reasserts itstll and hiieis refuge in the confi
dence that "justice and judgment are the hahiiaiuin uf His
throne."
With courage we must await those days that soon will
come when we search the papers for the tidings we fear to
see. To train our hearts to face the worst that is part of
our great task. To hide our fears and send across to those
who are "over there" only the word of cheer and hope,
this too it is ours to do.

The Chaplain, Kev. Henry N. ( .ouden, I) 1) , ottered ihe follow ing
prayer before the House of Representatives, in Washington, one day
st week :
"Our Father in Heaven, incline our hearts to Thee, that amid the
terrible ordeal through which we arc passing, ihe clash ol arms, die
destruction of life and hinh, the untold misery which follow s m its
wake, our laith may not be nnpaued n. r our confidence m ,hr .r
rulmg uf Thy I'rovidence may in i he diminished
It is written, "Fur my thought' are not our thougiu.s, neither aie
your ways my wins, sanh the 1 1 id For as the licnehs arc Ingli r
than the earth, so are my ways Ingticr tlun u.ui js and my thuughis

from heaven and reiurncih not hither, l-i,t w.in r.-th ihe earth and ma
keth it bring forth and bud, that it iiiav gue seed m ihes.iwer and

mouth; it shall nut return to me .- 1, 1 it u :u Jvc!iipli-.li tti.it w hich
1 please, and it shall prosper in the thing uticicio I send it."
Thus we are assured that Thy will is supreme, though men may de
part from the paths of righteousness. In the dispensation of 1'hy Prov
idence Thy purposes and plans shall noi l-c thwarted. Thus continue
our faith and confidence in Thee.

GIFTS.
BY EVF.LYN KINii (ill.MOKH.
It is Christmas Hve. The last bu of ribbon is ucd on the last gift
and I am sitting by the slowly graying embers, waning lor ihe cluck to
usher in the Holy Day.
How still the huuse is' I am alone to keep the least. In France,
somewhere, 1 have a son. It must be mess tune there, and the talk is
loud and fast to drow n the silence. Or peril ips guns and screaming
shells deaden memory. Or perhaps he cm ;i n even know that it is
Christmas.
A pine tree has always stood in that corner, radiant and shimmering.
It was there last year when he came home from college to spend the
hohdavs. I have put it there again, lis needles point upward and
high on the topmost twig glistens a star. Myriads of stars are shining
above me n the velvet night. I never before saw so many, or fel,
them lean so close They seem to he waiting, listening. They must
have shone so the night that Christ w as horn.
The tire leaps up and I no longer see the stars. White tissue paper
packages gleam against the green of the tree. They are my gifts,
bound with bands of enmsom ribbon. They represent hours and days
of toil and care and thought and love. They are embodied parts of
myself, but my greatest gift is in France. 1 gave it to the world that
democracy might live. It, too, represents hours and days and years
of toil and care and thought and love. It, too. is wrapped in white
and red and my flesh and blood the letter and the spirit of my being.
It is for this that 1 have lived. It is my Supreme Cift.
A taint vibration stirs the air, a trembling, voiceless thought "so
loved the world only begotten Son peace on earth, good will to
men."
Snddenly, across the snow, the midnight chimes ring out, and the
wailing stars glow soft with holy radiance.

around and in a loud voice said, "Now.
then. If you two hoys don't K't away

walker niitl have you arrested." At the
time this sudden attack was made upon
these poor little waifs I was holding
In my hands two of these same mu
sical Instruments, trying to decide
which of the two kinds 1 would take.
The iurirer one of the hoys looked up
at tue with a frlhtem-d look, us if to
say, "Oh, e didn't mean to steal any
thing." when 1 said, 'Hos, would you
each like one of these hanuouleuns?"

and out id sight. 1 turned to the young
uonirui, sujlng. "I will pay for them,"
when I noticed the t- itr In lo r eyes.
When she dually found her voice she
said, "oh, niudam. I am so sorry I
spoke a 1 ditl." "Well, neer mind,"
I said; "ymi didn't understand. 1 am
