Y Y kinns in finally luailc up the pages
will include tlio name of this
minstrel shepherd boy, who passed quick
ly from the sheep' coto to the kinjiV
palace and took bin place among the im
mortals. The slmn.rely checkered career
of ibis cliivulrniiit youth reminds us of
Scotland's hero, Robert Ilruco, and also
of Hubert Burns, the people's poet
Gifted with a strangely rich and lovable
nature, thin youth moved among men
with that irresistible fascination that only
the greatest possess. He enters the
scene the child of innocence an all sweet
song. Soon, aided by bis flute, he sang
his way into the kind's heart, arid like u
sunbeam passed into the gloomy palace.
When a few months bad gone by the boy
was the champion of tbe army, the idol
of tbe people, the dearest friend of Jon
athan, and then, with a single leap,
bounded into tbe throne itself. By rea
son of bis self-reliance and prudence, Lis
boldness iu attack and courage in defense
David has been called the greatest of the
Jewish kings. Hut now that long time
hath passtd, we all do see that he has
his fume, not because h; was a king and
born leader of men, but because he was
a poet and sang of human life with all
lis pal lius and mystery Centuries ago
Ins granite crumbled, Ins works becu mi
dlist, but his sweet psalms and songs do
still abide.
Immeasurable the debt that civilization
owes to this youth, whose sougs have

and exalted all human life, tie the reu

Solomon in this text gives us one very
essential plunk in the platlnrm of success
It is not enough that we should Hud
work, but to this must be added tbe
ptaliiy of intense enthusiasm in its per
formance
Enthusiasm is at once tbe proof ol
ncerity and the advance guard of victory
There are two ways of working as a
ireling and as on enthusiast. The hire
ling gets throuuh with his work and is
the is done. So is his employer. Tbe
busiust does his work, finds happiness
nd profiis and further and more reum-
rutivc employment. I sat at my win-
w watching a boy shovelling coal into
he cellar. His steps were toilsome and
ow, his countenance dejected in tbe
xtreiue, he appeared to be almost sick. I
left the window to escape a painful sight.
An hour later I crossed a nearby
vacant lot and luuod the street gamin
Ltaged in a game of baseball. "Jones
the ball" shouted the "umpire." Jones
itb lordly mien and seized the bat, eager
for the fray. How he did bang the ball
How he did run the barest I was quite
astounded to discover in Jones, the hero
the ball field, my erstwhile martyr of
the coal pile! At putting away ooal be
was a dismal failure; at playing baseball
e was first eh doe on a scrub nine. At
ie one be was the hireling, at the other
e enthusiast The conqueror, the dis-
overer, the luventor, the great leader ol
en have all been enthusiasts. They
e bh id the pathway of triumph along
he march of ases and mediocrity has
leaned after them.
Kiiibusinsm is not permitted to work
isolation, but begets enthusiasm, corn
Is a beating, secures a constituency. A
canned newsboy iu Rallimore is an
ihusiastic paper seller. He has the
is) n. "n n' edliion and the last evening
xira " Workmen hurrying to their
irk buy papers as they return his
htery, husimsslike creeling, while the
red merchant on his homeward way ai
evening is a Billing investor in the wares
it this enthusiastic little rews agent. The
pint of that boy is the pledge of his
luiure success.
Men do nut need opportunity so much
as opportunity needs men. An entbusi-
ic quest will discover countless oppor
tune:. 1 Ins Continent watted through
nknown centuries for Columbus. A
material world with resources little more
than dreamed of awaits the coming of
countless enthusiastic searchers, who will
pre-empt their rich claims. The spiritual
world awaits tbe coming of the enthusi
astio church. The Divine teacher hut
hown the way. A life ff righteousness,
faith and sacrifice will wio victories and
receive crown.
There is one point at which we must
walcli. Enthusiasm must not be eon
founded with the mere effervescence td
spirit aroused by a passing novelty. Some
really brilliant men waste all their ener
gies in running after some new thing
only to lose iuterest when the newness in
gone.
True enthusiasm is a great purpose
persistently, earnestly and intelligently
adhered to, and as such has been nd will
continue to be a conquering force in what
over field lisaetivtues may bo employed

lit ly belongs to the young it is

Iluk iu the Christmas Ladies Home
ournal. "It should be given over to
hem, therefore, without stint or reserva-
on. And I think sometimes that par-
tils do not always understand Ibis. It
is right and all-essential that restrictions
pon the amusements of the young should
prevail in every home. Hut Christinas
Day is the one day when these barriers
ought to be liftod, and the young given
frei play. No wholesome liberty nor
ndulgeoce should be withheld from a
boy or girl on that day. What of it,
my dear friend, if such liberties do mean
tear here, or a broken chair there?
Suppose the boy is particularly noisy on
Christmas What of it? Tell me, if
you can, n better sign of strong, young
health than the noise from a boy's lungs!
upposo ho does throw himself, or even
uuip or stand, on your best lounge, and
soil or rumple your pet tidyl Pass over
, don't notice it, but let the boy have
his Christmas Day And if the little
girl docs iusist upon putting her sticky
candy fingers on your dress what of ii?
Lei her romp and tear all over the houso.
Give her the joy of feeling that for one
ay the house in hers in every nook and
corner of it. Let her put her suiutchy
little hands on tbo white paint of door or
wall I know a home, my dear woman,
here the marks of four little smulchy
ngers may be seen any day on the white

BLESSINGS OF CHRISTMAS.
Why II Is The Day of All Days In
Christain Calendar.
The
p;
RECtsEi.Y nineteen centuries have
passed since there fell upon the ears
JL of a very youthful Jewish mother
the most gladsome sound that ever comes
to mortal the first wail of her firstborn
child. She was scarcely more than a
child herself, being but about 10 years of
age; but Irndilion attaches to her most
excellent judgmcut, and a maternal in
stinct incalulably Blrong. Besides did
she not koow her boy bad been foretold
by tho angel? "Thou shalt call His name
Jesus, because he shall save His people
from their sins." She might not love
Him the mote because of His illustrious
destiny, but her heart could not be but
lifted up in commendable pride at this
reflection, as she gazed for the first time
into His dear, sweet face and IIU tiny
blue eyes looked wonderingly into hers.
Then tbe news quickly went abroad, angels
from Heaven bearing about the tidings of
the birth of their King. They told the
shepherds upon the plains of Salem and
tbe wise men of the east and all of them
entered tbe little cararansary of the vil
lage of Bethlehem, and saw the babe and
its mother lying down in the same room
where were the camels and horses and
oxen of strangers, who had come up to
Jerusalem to be taxed. Angels sang the
praises of tbe newly born and a new star
appeared in the sky. The wise man
brought gifts and laid them at the feet of
tho mother.
This wastbe first Christmas and Mary I
was tne first person in all the world to re
ceive a Christmas gift, and hers was in
finitely greater id value than all combined
that have been since received by all the
leopie who have lived or died. Her gift, I
tli
ie Christchild. she honored above all the
women who have lived or died, in being
made the motberof Him who should "be
called Jesus, because He shall save His
people from their sins."
'
The aogcl song to the shepherds had
for its burden 'peaoo to men of good will.'
Oue could scarcely think of a Christmas
that is other than gladsome and joyous.
Tbe cloud: may bu thick overhead, while
in north countries the earth may have a
sheet of snow, and in the southlands there
may be thunder aud rain. Hut there arc
warmth, sunlight and gladness iu tbe heart
Iho best place in all the world for them
In tbe heart birds sing carol songs of
ny; in the heart flowers bloom, leaves are
out upon the trees and velvety grass
covers the hills,
0, the Christmas tide Christ's birth
day, day of all days in the calendar. How
hearts glow on this day and warm each to
the other. How strifes and bitternesses
end and all cares, from without and from
wuu.n.iaseouqu.c wings anu uy ,ur
:.v: , . i- "i- i n r 1
away. How sell is swallowed in love tor
these about one, and all become, like the
Magi who visited Jesus, bearers of gifts
gladbeart gifts that made radiant tbe
ehceks of donors as fell as recipients,
0, the Christ day. Would that ti e
cheer of the family board the joyous borne
biinging aud the gladness of tbe heait
might be iu every day of the year. That,
indeed, would be a bringing down of tbe
New JerusaUm from Heaven to earth;
for then there would bo no more sorrow
oi tears, and wickedness and sin would
end in the land.
