It was the distinctive glory of Christ's evangel not that it introduced a new code of morals or of social ethics, but rather that it emphasized the force and broadened the Ecope of those existing and gave them higher sanctions and in finitely greater importance from being exemplilied in tho perfect life of Christ himself. There were people who had been just, true and God fearing before Moses brought down the tables of the law from Mount Sinai, and men acted the role of the good Samaritan, ani mated by tho purest benevolence, thou sands of years before Christ taught by precept and example the duty of chari ty and the nobility of self sacrifice. Even the sermon on the mount only presented in concrete form rules of con duct which regulated tho lives of many in all ages, not with tho force of law, of which there might be none, but as a result of self originated conviction and feeling. Lovo in Christ's code of ethics .was both tho soul and body, tho animating principle, as well as the performing agent. It was no longer be true, kind and pure because it is a duty so to bo, but be all that because you love to bo so. No mero formal acquiescence or compliance will meet the require ments of this new presentation of the moral law. It demands absolute obedi ence, but as the. outcome of love, not as tho result of authority or the claims of duty. Has the Christian church (assigning to this term itt widest and most com prehensive meaning) ever come within measurable distance of realizing the ex alted Christ ideal? Yes, possibly, in the apostolic ago and for a short time sub sequent, but it would be absurd to claim that the Christian churches of to day, great as is their influence for good, are animated by the spirit of the early Christians or inspired by that divine enthusiasm which made each one of them a center of light and largely trans formed society throughout the known world within a century after the birth of Christ. We are now like Moses on Mount Nebo wo see the promised land, t ut it is still in the dim distance, and we are apparently getting no nearer to its haven of rest but how soon would the prospect change were the gospel of love and humanity, preached and lived by Christ, to become a distinctive feature of our civilization instead of the material istic and selfish motives which largely sway modern life and determine con duct! The Saviour was born under the hum blest possible circumstances, as if to show how low in the estimation of God are all the pomp and magnificence of that wealth and power which men prize so highly. His Virgin mother was poor, his foster father was a mechanic, and ho himself dignified labor by earn ing his bread by the sweat of his brow. Christ was emphatically tho Saviour of the poor, and those who bear his name best show the sincerity of their professions by imitating him in his lov ing kindness and benevolence. Charity is a duty incumbent upon Christians at all times, but even the most humane will feel prompted to bo kinder and more sympathetic while celebrating the advent of one who displayed during his whole lifetime upon earth a divine com passion and pity for the poor and the suffering. Not the least of the lessons taught us by the birth of Christ is not to despise the humblest or be hopeless of the most depraved of that species so honored by Deity, that he camo and took its form and assumed its nature with all its im perfections. However low in the scale of being persons may be, there is a spark of the divine in them still, a trace of that promethean fire breathed into man by the source bf all life and all con sciousness which constituted him a liv ing soul. The story of the advent and of its climax that amazing act of self sacri fice has been the solace of the weary and heavy laden in all tire intervening centuries. The song of tho angel chor isters chanted over the lowly place of his birth, conveying heaven's message of deliverance for man, has sounded throughout the centuries, like an under tone of hope, above the discords of life and the mutterings of despair. Philip James Bailey in "Festus" writes: We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths ; In feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives Who thinks moat, feels the noblest, acta the best. The stupendous mystery of the advent and the perfect life that followed it nade it possible for mankind to attain the high state of perfection so beautiful ly illustrated by the poet. Precepts were not wanting before, but henceforth there was a perfect life as a model for all ages. Doubtless all events, however impos sible it may be to perceive their trend, contribute to That faroff divine event Toward which the whole creation moves. The poets have sung of that day, phi losophers have written of it from tho earliest times and optimists think they see its near approach, but it must be confessed that the signs of its coming are not promising. Education and cul ture, art and science, while they may prepare the way for it, are at best only subsidiary. That day will never dawn until human society is permeated by that spirit of love and unselfishness which characterized the life of Christ Has WA?of aia s AN IMPOSING BITUAL CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION AMONG THE FRENCH CANADIANS. Where the Day Is More of a Holy Day Than a Holiday and Where Gifts to the Little Folk Are Not Credited to Santa Claus. Jean Baptisto Leblanc of lower Cana da hati this advantage over his cousins in the rest of the Dominion, that his Christmas celebrations are not confined to one day, but are divided between that great holiday and New Year's. Then again ha has ihe further advan tage of an early start, for while the Eng lish folk are still sleeping snugly in their warm beds he is out attending mass at church or cathedral. Indeed it may be said with truth that Christmas among the French Canadians is more of a holy day than a holiday, as it consti tutes one of the four great church festi vals of the year. The celebration of the day begins at midnight on Christmas eve, when, sum moned by the chimes of the bells, all good Catholics who can manage it crowd to the sacred edifices, which are appropriately adorned for the occasion, and there take part iu an elaborate serv ice lasting nearly tv o hours. The splen dor of this service, of course, varies ac cording to the equipment and facilities of the establishment, being compara tively simple in the remoto country churches, while in the large edifices it becomes a superb religious function. The midnight mass in Notre Dame church or St. James' cathedral, Mont real, celebrated as it is before congre gations of many thousand people, is perhaps the most imposing and awe in spiring religious ritual to bo witnessed upon this continent. The musical fea tures of these services always receive careful attention, with the result that the whole proceeding is made so inter esting as to attract large numbers of Protestants who are willing to forego the comforts of sleep in order that they NOTRE DAME CATHEDRAL, MONTREAL. may be spectators of the proceedings. To what extent this is the case may be judged from the fact that for the mid night mass in the Jesuits' church of Montreal, where the music is always of an exceptionally high order. Those not having the right to a seat in the church may obtain one by payment of a fee, and these seats may be reserved in advance, just as they may be for the theater or the opera. Nor is this the only important re ligious function of the day. In many places there is also an evening service, where again the proceedings are veiy elaborate and ornate and the music very beautiful. Since the advent of electrici ty and its wonderful adaptation to pur poses Of ornament there has been added to this vesper service in Notre Dame church a novel and striking feature in the sudden illumination of the great altar. Just when darkness has enshroud ed the vast edifice by means of innumer able electric bulbs cunningly concealed in the intricate and florid carvings the nhole altar front is instantaneously il luminated, producing an effect which cannot be adequately described in words. In the roral districts the midnight service, if not so sumptuous in its ap pointments, is indubitably more pictur esque, yc there, as the hour approaches, one sees the great stone church that dominates the parish lit like a vast lan tern, and stretching from it cn either hand, the homes of the habitants, each one doing its little best in loyal imitation- Hardly have the big bells in the tower begun to ring out their clear call upon the crisp, cold air than the little bells on the horses' necks send back tinkling responses as one after another the carioles appear upon the road and speed swiftly toward the church. The houses are awake and ablaze all night, for when the long service at last comes to an end the congregation does not go quietly home, but breaks up into little groups, usually consisting of fam ilv circles, that with ehattering and "Hunger is the Best Sauce," Yet some people are never huns gry Whatever they eat has to be "forced down." There is, of course, something wrong with these people. By taking Hood's Sarsaparilla a short time they are given an appetite and then they enjoy eating and food nourishes them. If you find your appetite failing, just try a bottle of Hood's. It is a true stomach tonic and every dose does good. Thh best family cathartic is Hood's Pills. laughter hasten mcioor to enjoy the bountiful supper which is the rsward of their piety and at which by immemorial custom doughnuts and potted head form the pieces de resistance. These family gatherings are perhaps the cheeriest of all the year. The strangeness of the hour, the sense of satisfaction at having done their duty as good Catholics, the inspiration, no doubt, gathered from the service they have just attended and : the faet that the day already broken in to is to be given up to pleasuring to the full extent of their ability, all these in fluences not only combine to put every body into the best of humor, but to pro duce an exultation of spirits that drives all caxo and worry into temporary obliv ion. For those who are very piously dis posed this midnight mass by no means completes the religious programme of the day, for if they so choose they may again attend high mass at 10 o'clock, vespers at 2 o'clock and benediction at 7 o'clock, thus practically spending the day in the church. Not many, however, are so devout as all this, and the majority of the men go in for a good time, according to t heir taste, whether it bo to gather at the tavern and play cards and checkers, or to regale one another with well worn stories garnished with tobacco and eau de vie, or to engage in horse racing, shooting matches and similar sporta As I have already stated, Jean Bap tisto divides his Christmas. By this I mean that two important features of the festival as celebrated by English people on the 25th day of December are reserved by the French for the 1st day of January namely, the giving of pres ents and indulgence in especially good fare. "With regard to the giving of pres ents, in which the French take just as much delight as the English, it is in teresting to note that these etrennes, as they are called, are by tho little folk credited not to Santa Claus, but to le petit Jesu and are perhaps all the more enjoyed on .that account. As to the culinary characteristics of the day, my readers may perhaps be in terested in a list of dishes, some or all of Which may be foutd upon every French Canadian dinner table on this occasion. They are: Pain dore (toast with egg), pate aux patates (potato pie), poulet sauce blanche (chicken with White sauce), tourtieres (meat pie), graisse de roti (fresh perk grease), co chon an lait (sucking pig), paleron (roast of fresh pork shoulder) and tarte aux snelles (pie made of haws). J. Macdpkajud Oxley. The Boar's Head. Aside from its religious observance and signification Christmas has always been a time of feasting and jollification. This temperament has descended to us from the days of the old Germanic and Scandinavian nations, when the time was set aside for rejoicing and pleasure prior to the Christian era, but even as late as the seventeenth century in Eng land and throughout continental Europe the delights of the table were para mount. With our forefathers a soused boar's head was borne to the principal table in the hall with great state and solemnity as the first dish on Christmas day. In the book of "Christmasse Car dies, ' ' printed by Wynkyn de Worde in 1521, are the words sung at this aus picious moment : The bore's head in hando bring I With garlandea gay and rosemary. I pra yea all synge merrely Qui eetia in convivio. The bore's head I understande Is the chefe servyce in this lande, Loke wherever it be fande. Servite cum cantico. Chaucer alludes to this custom in the following passage of the "Franklein's Tale:" James sitteth by the fire with double berd, And ho drinketh of his bugle homo the wine. Before him standeth the braune of the tusked swine. OIL ON THE WATERS. A TALE OF TWO CHBISTMASE8. "Well, this has been what I call a Christmas, ' ' said Ben Habberton, with a great sigh of content as he threw him self into an easy chair in the great guest chamber that was his for the time and stretched his feet out toward the cheery log fire. "Now, I imagine," he went on, talk ing to himself in a light hearted way, "that a few days of this kind of life would tempt even me to give up knock ing about the world and settle down, as they all want me to. By George, I have a notion to do it. Mother says that granddad wants somebody to look after the estate, and if he could only trust me he would be glad to have me do it. "Confound it all, that's what sticks in my crop. Nobody ever trusted me so far as I know, and I never would ex plain anything, no matter how suspi cious the circumstances might be. So I always got blamed for everything. Hanged if I don't think that even moth er used to think I took all the cream that any of the cats stole. "Foolish, of course, to run away and go to sea, but what could a fellow do when he is always getting into scrapes and is too proud to deny anything even when he isn't guilty? Well, I've seen half a dozen years of life and had a good fling out of it, but I don't remember that I ever did anything to be ashamed of. Hello! Who's there? Come in, the door isn't locked. Why, mother, is it you? Crying? What on earth is the mat ter?" Springing to his feet, he took the poor little lady in his arms and placed her carefully in the big chair. Then pulling a stool forward he sat on it at her feet, and laying his head in her lap said: "There, mother. Do yon remember, this is the way I used to sit when I waa a little fellow? Now tell me all about it What has happened?" But she only sobbed the harder for a time, an4 aj length, when jfce could command her voice she cried out pas sionately, "Oh, my son, iqy gjp, how could you do it?" The curly head was lifted instantly, and the handsome, boyish face grew sul len and hard. Recklessness and pride were Habberton family traits, and Ben, though a younger son, was a true Hab berton. So he said nothing, knowing that he would hear more presently, and he did, for soon his mother talked on weakly and, if she had only known it, foolish ly: "You know your grandfather al ways suspected you of being wild, and after you went to sea he always said you'd come to some bad end, and I had hard work to get him to ask yon bore for Christmas, but after you came he liked you ever so much He would not have asked you to sit with him this afternoon if he hadn't, and even when he dropped asleep and you left the room he wasn't angry. He said of course you wanted to be with the young folks. But how could you take that money? You ought to have asked me if you needed, any. I know you said you had come back as poor as you went away, but I did not think you needed it right away. I can return it to your grandfather, of course, but he is so angry that ho says he will have you arrested in the morn ing, and I do believe, Ben, that ho would have made you his heir. How could you do it, Ben?" Ben had grown very white, and his fists were clinched tightly when his mother paused, but he said quietly : 4 ' So you andgranddad have discovered that I am a thief, have you? How did you find it out?" "Why, he had $500 in bills in his writing desk. It seems he saw it there just before you went to his room, and there was no one else there up to the time he missed it. ' ' "So he says I stole it, does he?" "Don't use such words, Ben. Of courso you didn't mean it for stealing, but I am afraid he wdll have you arrest ed and think of the disgrace! WThy didn't you ask me for money, Ben?" It was something like an imprecation that the young sailor muttered under his breath as he rose to his feet and walked up and down the room for a few moments. But no word more of any kind could his mother get from him un til she had exhausted herself with weep ing and pleading. Then he led her to her room, and, kissing her tenderly, badt her good night. Going back to his own room, he re sumed his reverie. 1 ' Well, ' ' he thought, "I had a merry Christmas, for it's aft er 12 o'clock. And now for the old life. Cowardly, folks would call it, I sup pose, to run away with a charge like that over my head, but I don't think it is. If I stay, the old man will surely make a row in the morning and there will be a great scandal. Ji I go, he will be too proud to make the scandal for nothing. He will call $500 a cheap price to get rid of good for nothing me, and that will be the end of it. Poor mother thinks I'm guilty, too, but they won't tell anybody else for shame's sake, and if they can't trust me let them think what they will. "Five hundred dollars, " he muttered, with a nasty sort of laugh, under his breath. "That's rather a small sum to turn thief for, but I wish I had a hundredth part of it just to get grub till I strike another job. I could get it from mother easily enough, but I'd rather go hungry than take it from her, thinking what she does. "But it's best for me to go. I would not care so much about if it it weren't for Alice. Perhaps that's best too. I don't know whether she would care. Probably I never will know now, so here goes. " And opening his window carefully and noiselessly he swung himself out on a huge vine that clung to the side of the house, and, lowering himself hand over hand, he was soon on the ground. It was only five miles to town, and he was there long before daybreak. Now Alice was a certain wide eyed, clear witted, young second cousin of this headstrong youth. They had neer met till three days before, but great things are done in three days when Cu pid lurks around old fashioned country houses where the mistletoe is used among the decorations, and Ben was very much mistaken in thinking sh( wouldn't care She would and she did Being quick witted, Alice was alst impulsive, and sometimes it was well that she was so. On the morning aftei Christmas she passed old Mr. Habber ton '8 door very early on her way dowL stairs and was greatly surprised to hea; angry words inside. As the door was open she entered. "I tell you he stole ihe money, and 1 shall send for the police, ' ' stormed the old man, and Ben's mother, who had been pleading for mercy, gave up the struggle. "I would hav sent last night if it hadn't been Christmas. " "Why, who has been stealing, Uncle Ralph?" asked Alice. Even in his anger the old man paused oung rascal, Ben!" he exclaim old the story of the money. Alice had occasion, if never be to be thankful for her quickness, don't think Ben looks like a thief," she said, ' ' but, uncle, you 6ay you saw the money in your desk just before he came in. " "I certainly did," said Mr. Habber ton. "But are you sure you left it there?'' asked the girl. The old man looked at her in surprise Then one emotion chased another across his rugged features until presently he sank back in his chair with an expres sion of great disgust at himself. ."I'm surely getting old," he exclaim ed. "I put it in the safe and forgot that I had done so. Don't let anybody tell Ben that I suspected him. " -"But I told him last night, " said hia mother. "Then go quickly and tell him to come here, till I KnoInoiM You have all of you been to ready to accuse th.it boy aal his life. " This seemed rather hard to Alice, who had certainly never aoeued Boa of anything. Lot tfa it wise young wom an held her tongue while Mrs. Habber ton hurried out of the room. Lighth ouse 34 was situated about halt a mile from tho mainland on the int of a reef that lay irregularly parallel to the ehore, leaving plenty of clear water between. The coast was rocky, and the light was maintained as a warning, for a vessel that should approach too near was liable to be dadied to pieces on hid den rocks anywhere within a mile or two. The lighrhnrjfl keeper had a hptr so that usually ther were two men on guard at 34, but leavo of absence for one of them was obtainable at times, and it happened a year after Ben Habberton had left his grandfather's house that the keeper had gone to spend a few days with his family at Christmas time, and Ben, who was tho helper, was alone on the reef. Long after midnight Christmas morn ing that impetucus youth sat up in the lighthouse tower, gazing out at the fu rious storm that raged and meditating by no means pleasantly on the events of the j'ear. "I shall go melancholy mad if I stay here long," he thought "It is no life for a young man. and I wish niothur hadn't asked me not to go to sea again. I was a fool to make her even that half promise not to. Well, Fhe knows where I am by this time, and if she doesn't write and let me off from what I said I must leave here and look for something on shore. This is neither land nor sea. "I wonder what granddad thinks and how he came to niake such a mistake. Confound him ! He ought to knew that a Habberton couldn't be a thief. It was just like him, though, to jump at the conclusion that I had done something wrong. Every one in the family is hasty except me. Hello! What's that?" He had seen a faint gleam out at ea, and watching as only a sailor can watch he soon saw another. "It is certainly a rocket," he exclaim ed, talking to himself as his habit was when he was excited. "Some vessel is in distress. God help her and all aboard if they can't keep her offshore, and if she is disabled in any way that'll be hard work against this gale. If she's one of these coasting steamers and her machinery's broken down it's all day with her, for there's no anchorage out side the reef, and there's not a chanoo in 5,000 of her driving in behind with out striking. " It was a coaster, and she was certain ly beyond the control of those on board, for as he looked rocket after rocket went up in vain appeal, as it seemed. There was no life saving station within 15 miles, and Ben's eye was tho only one that saw. Nearer and nearer sho camo, drive by the awful power of the worst storm Ben had ever seen. Fascinated by tho sight, he sat as if frozen, watehing for tho tragedy that seemed inevitable. He thought of rhe little boat below, but it was a hopeless thought. Twenty men could not have launched her from the rocks in the breakers that were dashing up, and no one man could have rowed her a rod if sho had been afloat. All be could do was to sit and watch. He could see the ship now from time to time as she rose and fell on the waves, but every time she sank from sight he thought must surely be the last. He knew the cruel rocks that lay below the surface. No earthly pilot cold have guided her among those rocks to the lee of the reef on which tho lighthouse stood, but it was not written that she should be wrecked that Christmas day. Lying helpless in the trough of the sea, she drifted past rock after rock till Len saw with amazement that sho was float ing in behind the reef, and still he watched with straining eyes. Suddenly he sirang to his feet witli a shout like a crazy man, and, rushing down the stairway four steps at a time, he seized an ax and a big pannikin in the room below and ran out into the storm. A thought had come to him of one chance in a million, and he was after that chance. A single blow smashed in tho head of a hogsht ad, and in another instant he was scooping out the oil it held with the pannikin and scattering it like mad as far as he could in every direction. The wind carri d it all toward the ves sel, and the great wonder of tho sea was wrought almost in a minute, for as the oil fell the waves abated, BO that the ship was immediately in smooth water. Overboard went her anchors as quickly as the captain could give the order, and she was safe. For the rest of the night Ben wateh ed, throwing a little more oil from time to time, and in the morning, the storm having abated, he rowed out in his imall boat to the ship's side. As he stepped on her deck the captain greeted him with such thanks and praise as could only be given by one who had ju.-.t been saved from destruc tion. Then as the passengers crowded up to have th ir say Ben saw, to his amazement, his grandfather, his mother and Alice. "We came after yon, my boy," said the old man, "as soon as your letter to your mother came. Yon must come home again, this time to stay. " Ben looked at his mother and then at Alice. In both their faces he saw what he looked for, and then he answered: "It'll be a merry Christmas after all, granddad," he exclaimed with a happy laugh And it was. David A. Cubtis.
