The Farmvili* -graded school will suspend activities Friday for a hol iday period of two weeks, according to Superintendent J. H. Moore, who, with his faculty members, has been busily engaged in conducting mid-term examinations during the past four days. A great many of the teachers will leave immediately following the close for their homes, while others will be forced Co wait several hours for trains and buses. The continuous rainfall for the past three weeks has worked a hard ship on pupils and teachars alike, with rainy day schedules being forced up on them.

WHAT CAN I GIVE, Lord Jesus, what birthday gift Can I lay at your feet ? I've thought of lots of things, But none seem quite complete. Precious stones and ointments I could not buy, And they are not worthy of you, Who for me, was willing to die. Must I come empty-handed? IH kneel down and pray. Words are so incomplete, I feel more than I can say. Your answer comes to me, Down on my knees, "Some are cold, hungry, suffering, Minister unto these.' Some are discouraged, lost? Some are lonely, bitter, blue. Give them a warm hand-clasp, a smile, Help them to see it through." Such a simple gift you ask, Not costly, and yet priceless, A gift, in whose giving The giver Is wonderfully blest GRACE a CARRAWAY. SEE MOON BLUSH New? York.?If the weather is fair on the night of December 27, between 10 p. in. and midnight, Eastern Standard Time, Americans can see the moon turn a copper color.

Bat what is the meaning of all this? It means that God haa come to earth; that Hope shines upon a dark world; that Heaven loves lost men; that men will yet learn to love each other; that; this Babe will not re linquish His zight upon the earth un til He has bound np the broken-heart ad, proclaimed liberty to the captives, ottered beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and the garment of praiae for the spirit of heaviness. It truly means the ushering in of that New Kingdom, "Peace On Earth and Good Will Toward Men." Indeed, the message of Christmas id a message from the Son of God and tte Savior of Men. There is still a great need in the lives of men for the message of Christ, Sin still has a destructive grip upon the world, bringing wreck, unhappiness and ruin. As much as ever should we re alise the emptiness of our desires, for we need to be saved from ourselves as even from our sins. Christ came, not only as a great prophet, but as a mes senger, that God might bd with us. This then is the meaning of Christian ity. He is our light. He is our Hope. He is our Peace. "Above the deep and dreamless sleep, The silent stars go by. Yet, in Thy dark street shineth The everlasting Light, The hopes and fears of all the years, Are met in Thee tonight."
