Christ- 1 mas makes cfieer, drives out sorrow, makes life out of death and proclaims that love is the Law of the Universe. It is the Day of Giving, of self for j getting, of making other people happy I from the babe to the bedridden; a day that enshrines childhood and glo rifies old age. And it is even more than that, Christmas brings to some . ( as the angel did to Mary) honor and sacred sanction which it places upon parenthood. The mother of our ; Lord said (with a true prophecy > which embraces all humanity in its blessing) "From henceforth all gen- ; erations shall be blessed." How true it is that Christmas, wherever Christianity has pervaded the world, humanity has been blessed, motherhood has been honored, an'd family life has been made beautiful and happy! Mary was to be called blessed because she was to give a Sa vior to all generations. This, she knew, was the Voice of Prophecy; and who shall say that she did not also foresee (what has occurred) that the chains were to be lifted from wo man and that from being the slave , or toy of man, she should become again, as in Paradise, his helpmate and companion his associate in all honorable and noble work for the human race, and in the high and holy endeavors for the establishment of God's Kingdom around the world. The greatest inspiration that comes from the Birthday of Him who is the subject and center of oyr Christinas festivities is its call to rally under i His Banner and to go on forth at Hia ! command with the Gospel message. It offers inspiration to service, and is the vision and hope of the better days when Peace on Earth to men and good will shall be permanently real ized. The human race must be won before it can hope for peace. Here is the great inspiration of Christmas. The inspiration of Christmas, is Love. Love for God and for man. It cometh not by observation, but it permeates the world's advance as subtly and surely as the ether fills the eternal spheres, breathing through ( each human life, making souls fit for i the Life of God. A PRAYER FOR THE \ INSPIRATION OF CHRISTMAS I O Thou Blessed Father of us all, j may Christmas bring to us all its vital message of inspiration, making cheer drive out sorrow, making life out of death and proclaiming that Love is the Law of the Universe. May _it be to us a day of giving, of self forgetting, of making others hap py from the babes to the bedridden. Grant that it may be a day that en shrines childhood and glorifies old age.

Above all, write upon our hearts that the greatest inspiration th^t comes from the Birthday of Him who is the subject and the center of our Christmas activities, is its call to rally under His Banner, and to go forth at His Command with the Gospel mes sage, for it offers, inspiration to ser vice, and is the vision and hopes of the better days, when "Peace on earth, to men good will" shall be perman- ) ently realized. Love is the greatest j inspiration of Christmas, love to Thee, , Our God, and love to many our fellow. 0 May it breathe through the human | lives making our souls fit for the Life '? of Good.

'WffilS fit 'ft J The bedrock of Camel popularity is the inherently fine quality of the tobaccos that go into our cigarette. These tobaccos are notably mild, full mellow, delicately flavored by nature ? the finest Turkish and mild, sun-ripened Domestic tobaccos that money can buy. To safeguard the essential goodness of these fine tobaccos we exercise every care to conserve their natural moisture and natural flavors. - They are never parched or toasted? the Reynolds method of scientifically applying heat guarantees against that. That's why we say Camels are made fresh to start with ? and why the Camel ^ Humidor Pack can bring them fresh to you, in prime smoking condition. If you want to know what a blessing that means in unalloyed smoke -enjoy ment, switch to Camels for just one day ? then leave them ? if you can. R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company Winston-Salem, N. C.
