BIBLE THOUGHT FOR WEEK
,, And rthere rshall come forth- a rod
out of the .-stem of , Jesse, and a
Branch shall .grow out of his roots
And the Spirit of the Lord shall
rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom
: and understanding, the spirit of
knowledge, and of the fear of the
Lord;
And shall make him of quick
understanding in the fear of the
Lord: and he shall not judge after
the sight 'Of his eyes, neither reprove
after the hearing of his ears:
But with, righteousness shall he
judge the poor, and reprove with
equity for the meek of the earth: and
he shall smite the earth with the rod
of his mouth, and with the breath of
his lips shrill he slay the wicked.
And -righteousness shall be the
girdle of his loins, and faithfulness
the girdle of his reins.
The wolf also shall dwell with the
lamb, -and the 'leopard shall lie down
with the Itid; and the calf, and the
young lion, and the failing together;
and a little child shall lead them.
And the cow -and the bear shall
feed; their young cones shall lie down
together: and the lion shall eat straw
like the -ox.
And the suckling child shall play
on the hole of the asp, and the wean
ed child shall put his hand on .the
cockatrice' den.
They shall not burt nor destroy in
all my holy mountain: for the earth
shall be full of the knowledge cof the
Lord, as the waters cover the sea. ,
Isiaah.
(Luke JMU1
And it came to pass in those -days,:
that there went out a decree .from
Caesar Augustus, &at $& 4he would
should be taxed.
And this taxing was fast made
when Cyrenius was governor of Sy-i
na.
And all went to be taxed, every
one into his own dty.
And Joseph also went up 'rm
Galilee, out of the city of Kaxaneth,
into Judea, unto the city.ef David,
which is called Bethlehem; (because
he was of the house and lineage of
David:)
To be taxed with Mary his espous
ed wife, being great with child.
And so it was, that, while they:
were there, the days were accomp
lished that she should he delivered.
And she brought forth her first
born son, and wrapped him in swauV
dling clothes, and laid him In Juaa
ger; because there was no room for.
them in the inn.
And there were in the same coun
try shepherds abiding In the field,
keeping watch over their flock by
night'.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came
upon them, and the glory of the Lord
shone -round about them: and they
were sore afraid.
And the angel said ' unto them,
Fear not: for, -behold, I bring you
good - tidings of great joy, which
shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in
the city of David a Saviour, which
is Christ the Lord.
And -this shall be a sign unto you;
Ye shall find the babe wrapped in
swaddling clothes, lying in a man
ger. '
And suddenly there was with the
angel a multitude of the heavenly
host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and
on earth peace, good will toward men.
And it came to pass; as the angels
were gone away from them into
heaven, the shepherds said one to an
other, Let us now go even unto Beth
lehem, and see this thing which is
come to pass, which the Lord hath
made known jinto us. , ,
And they came with haste, and
found Mary and Joseph, and the
babe lying In a? mange. ?fj f ;
it.

How Howard. Pitt, Jr., solved the
problem of Christmas shopping under
difficulties and at the same time
made - practical application of some
of , the advice he has been getting
about the blessedness of giving, es
pecially at Christinas, makes an in
teresting story.
Incidentally, Howard, who is five,
has often seen members of his fam

Army pot on a street corner In Nor

money t was, of ' course given to him

pleasant to shop. Howard had a dol
lar, all his own, with which he was
to. buy his Christmas presents.' The
party shopped around for some time,
buying this and that as they had op
portunity, but the crowd grew denser
and it : became increasingly unpleas

goes, year after year, each so
much like the other, as we look
back on them, that, unless we are
children, none seems to stand out
in our memory.
We know that there 'was a
Christmas tree and that, 'under:
neata and around it, were piled
a miscellaneous lot of packages and
that the children had a joyful time
opening them. But any details of the
scene are usually too elusive to give
us any particular pleasure that is,
unless we are among those who do
not let Christmases go by without
taking pictures .of the celebration.
Those who customarily do this
possess precious reminders of fcenes
that are entirely different each
year, chiefly because the principal
actors in them, the children, grow
and change. Ten .years ago Baby
Willie was delighted with a jack-in-the-box
but now It is young Master
Willie enthralled by his first elec
tric train. The1 picture comparison
of Willie oa these two Christmas
mornings Is a Joy to behold and, as
the years go by, these pictures be
come more and more precious.

seems to be rio longer any excuse for
camera -owning, families tailing to
make picture stories of every
Christmas holiday's good times.
The tree alone can be taken with
a time exposure by ordinary else''
trie light illumination, plus the lights
of the, tree, but, of course, for real
storytelling pictures of Christmas, -yon
want members of the family In '
them, pictures that pall for split sec
ond exposures. For these the flash
bulb does away with any question of ,
exposure time because, the flash Is ' "
always about 160 second of Intense -
ly brilliant light, the picture being
taken with the lens open. Almost
any kind of camera that can be set "
for "time" or "bulb" action can be -'
used. v i ' , ' , , 'j
For taking a considerable number
of pictures, however, . the longer
burning flood light hulbs are less ex- "

of these . lights burning In wall
sockets or floor temps, snapshots ,'"
may be taken at 115 second. If your
camera is of the slower lens type or ,
a box camera, the Olomlnatlon must
be more Intense. But flood lights for,
