' We arc not a bit -mphisiicateci, j
and are proud of it.
This would indeed be a dicary anil j
sorry sort of world in which to ex- j
ist, if we only believed, t,he thingsj
that we tool and worn* with every j
day.
Ii is the un.-ccu things t li.it touch

sweet, that are the realities, after
all.

know that he i* because he cojn'es
?-iueh Christmas eve, from 'the frozen
fastnesses of the North to delight
the hearts of childhood, when 'men
ami women are drawn agiiin in their
thoughts to the manger in Bethlehem
?to worship a Little Child.
To grown-ups, who worship at the
manger, it Is enough to know that
they are to become as little children,
and with faith in Cod, r?*ni:w their
spirits, worn and ragged with the
years of toil and disap]>ointment, as
they journey in imagination to Beth
lehem to behold the two-'thausand
year-old miracle of a young mother
and her first born, who the prophets
of other ages had named "the Prince
of Peace."
Bu't childhood cannot grasp the
mighty truths that He brought
to earth, while angels sang "Peace
un the Earth ? frood will to men."
And Christmas, when we think of
that Child, is the children's festival
So, even as 'the wise men came
from the East bringing Him gifts
?f Rold, and frankencense and myrrh, i
fit for a king, fKc Saint from tho'

New York n.'w-p^Mis found excit
ing news in the fact thai* the Church
of Latter Day Saints, which is wha.

setting up a missionary finit in New
York Oi'iy. There is no great novelty
in that, j, The Mormon church sends
.n:issie..mjries nil over .he world, hut
do:,u.n't talk much about its activities
in public.
la the financial world of New York,
however, a good n any people know
something of the money power a.ud
wit!" influence of these thrifty jieople.
I knew one of their financial leaders,
the late John \V. Young, who marri?*d
Lilian Xordicn, world-famous singer,
and was tin- head of a big tru>?. com

York and London valued Mr. Young'* j
advice. Tic looked after the invest- }
