Christmas means that God Is here.
Our hospitality to Him will make Christ
mas mean 'What At should- to Ootf and
the human race. The over-brooding life
of the Christmas spirit Is in the abiding
love of Christ-like service, while all the
multitudinous voices of our better na
ture fill the sky of our inmost being,
saying, "Glory to Ood in the highest
and on earth peace among men, In whom
He is well pleased."

First M. E. Church.
nr. HE fullebt Christmas story was writ-
I ten by a physician named LUKe. l
Is one of the most attractive nam
tlves ever penned. It Is concise, beautl
ful and true. The world's artists have
read Into it and out of it. and under its
spell hav given us pictures well nlgli
immortal. Hymnologlsts have studied
It, and then have written for the world
In rythmio witchery. Great composers
have been fascinated by it, and have
made it the theme for moving and thrill
ing oratorios.
This doctor's story Is so simple and
homely, so human and pathetic, that
children, as well as old folks, have rev
el ?d In its beauty. There is nothing
speculative about it It is not a far
fetched story of the coming of the gods.
The material of the story is quite com
monplace, but how deftly It is woven to
gether. It is within the imagination of
the humblest reader. We see the crowd
ed inn and the cave near by. There are
the shepherds lined against the Syrian
sky. ""keeping watch over their flocks by
night." There is the uncouth manger
and the "glory of the Lord." There Is
the angel and the message of the ages
to a world in trouble and in conflict,
"Fear not, for behold I bring you good
tidings of great Joy. which shall be to all
people." Then immediately the angelic
boBts come trooping through the sky
and chant the Christmas Message.
"Glory to God In the highest and on
earth peace, good will toward men."
The chant of the heavenly choir that
night above the hills of Bethlehem set
all the bells of heaven arlnglng. Every
bell In every church tower and In every
peace temple, on every reef and on every
buoy rocked by the troubled waves is
keyed to the Bethlehem music. The music
of the Christmas bellsl This Christmas
tide It ought to get Into our hearts. It
ought to stir us to action on behalf of
others. It was because of this that the
anthem was sung In the long ago. It is
because of it that the musicians have
put the sound of the bells into their
compositions. The story and the music
of the first Christmas night Is for every
night and for every day.
What Is creed forT It should be for
life. What is music forT It is to in
spire and to send men out with a song
in their hearts to reach out to uplift and
bring good cheer to their fellows. Let
the bells of Chrtstmastlde peal out a
message full of the passion and the love
of the great God and Father of us all.
Let us open our hearts to catch the full
volume of. music, and let us turn the
music set quivering In our own souls

By Dr. W. B. Hlnson, Pastor at the
White Temple (Baptist.)
WITH the Life of Jesus Christ from
Cradle to Cross In our possession;
Ings and Doings of the Man of Naz
areth; the amazing record of the Par
ables and Miracles of the great Christ;
the account of the marchings of the
wonderful Pilgrim up and down among
the trills, and country roads, and city
streets of old Palestine: I venture to
say that, with the full record of Hied
unique Lire before us we should, find
ourselves at a loss to provide for that
Story a fitting prologue and an appro
priate epilogue.
For the sayings of the Alaster are so
entirely matchless: those diamond gems
of truth set so beautifully in priceless
golden sentences, are so absolutely ex
ceptional, that the failure to duplicate
them In all the realm of the world's lit
erature, would force upon the mind the
overmastering conviction that He who
said such wondrous words could not be
accounted for by the ordinary laws that
control our human lives.
And the equally marvelous history of
me supernatural works of Jesus, Hla
evidenced power over the elements of
nature, the diseases of man, the cap
tives of death, and the awful forces of
sin and hell, would combine to produce
within the mind a consciousness that
the customary explanations of life are
In the case of Jesus insufficient and
fall far short of adequacy and reveal
ment. And certainly the contemplation of
that matchless life the one white life
unflecked by stain, and unwarped by
error I believe the study of that fair,
strong life, concerning which the Lord,
when rearing the end of His pilgrim
age, could say, as He challenged hell,
"The Prince of this world cometh, and
hath nothing in me"; that life, regarding
which He could brave the world, as He
asked, "Who of you convlcteth Me of
Sin?" that life, of which He, the Living
Truth, dared affirm, "I do always those
things that please God"; I say the study
of this exceptional and flawless life
compels the conviction that for its en
trance and its exit, there must be fur
nished the uaaccustomed and the
strange.
Therefore, with a sense of relief to
mind and heart and soul, comes the an
nouncement of the supernatural birth;
and of the risen life. For, with the
miraculous conception as prologue, and
the resurrection with Its accompany
ing ascension for epilogue, the divine
poem Is rounded into such satisfactory
proportions and gratifying completion
as fills the soul with a great content
Thus, as I read the matchless sayings
of the great Teacher, and the account

FEEL disposed -to point out the
I
blessed and practical truth, which
forms the motive and Justification of
our Christmas Joy. When the angel ap
peared to Joseph to quiet his anxieties
as regards Mary, his espoused wife, he
said to the "Just man," "Fear not to
take unto thee Mary, thy wife, for that
which is conceived In her Is of the Holy
Ghost. And she shall bring forth a Son;
and thou shalt call His name Jesus. For
He shall save His people from their
sins. This is the truth that "this day
there ws born to us a Savior," which
forms the basts and sunnnrt

junction of Christ, and bestow upon his

reason Is because sin is the only thing

secondly, py teaching them, and. lastly,
by gaining grace for them. It Is the
practical apprehension of this truth that

Without the succor of divine grace, hu

Christian Instruction and the grace of
God these were the forces that Christ
brought into the world on the first
Christmas morning, and it was the giv

Seattle. Wash., Deo. 20. -Peopte from
the east, from Europe, Australia and
New Zealand, who stop over In this city
in their travels always have something
wonderful to say about Seattle. Some
are astounded, all are pleased, and most
of them surprised to find such a fine
city on Puget Sound. Then they drop
off at Portland, sometimes they stop In
Tacoma, and these cities always share
in the praise with Seattle. People here
take It for what It is worth, but when
two Portlanders come here and express
surprise at the advancement this sec
tion of the northwest la . making, they
feel flattered. Rufus C. Hoi man, com
missioner of Multnomah county, and
John B. Yeon, of Portland, who Is so
public spirited that he serves his coun
ty ss roaamaster wunout pay, cams up
here this week to see what Seattle and
King county are doing In the way of
road building. They were shown Over
the paved roads the county has built
You-are far in advance of any dis
trict In the northwest," said Mr. Hol
man. "At present Multnomah county
has no paved nor bard surfaced high
ways to speak of."
Mr. Holman had not been to Seattle
for 10 years. He was then on his hon
eymoon, and the changes In the city In
that period are. bound to surprise any
visitor. Mr. Yeon was greatly Interest
ed in Seattle's two public markets,
whose success he attributed to the good
roads, which give the farmer easy ac
cess to the city distributing centers. He
said Portland would have public markets
when Multnomah county has paved
highways
Colonel Wood In Seattle.
C. E. S. Wood, of Portland, in an ad
dress before the Seattle Bar associa
tion, -Wednesday night, told the lawyers
that the time would come when a poor
man would be able to gq Into court
without a lawyer, state his own case,
and have the issues made up for him by
the judge and get a Just decision. When
that time comes. It will be en 111 day for
the Seattle lawyers, many of whom are
none too prosperous under the present
court procedure. It Is said that there
are 2000 attorneys in this city, and that
not a few are having a struggle to main
tain the standard of. living that becomes
a practitioner at the bar. The indus
trial insurance act has cut down the
fees for damage suits, the corporation
counsel's office and the prosecuting at
torney's office, that is the county coun
sel, are disposed to help people who are
seeking redress, and now the charity
folk propose to provide free legal ad
vice for those who cannot afford to hire
a lawyer. -
The city has adopted the dahlia as the
Seattle flower, but the lovers and culti

Seattle Traction Company Defiant.
The Puget Sound Traction, Light &
Power company scored a scoop In the
news this week with a seven column
line over a statement occupying from
half a page to a page. It was the an.
nounoement that the ' company would
appeal from the decision of the state
public service commission's decision
that It must sell commutation tickets
on Its cars. It maintained that, while
a city ordinance compelling such a sale,
which was declared Invalid by ...the su
preme court, was In force the company
lost 15000 a month In Its earnings. The
company's statement to the public serv
ice commission, filed recently at Olym
pla, shows that the earnings for the
past fiscal year amounted to $1,421,845,
and that dividends of t per cent were
declared on the preferred stock and 4
per cent on the common, in all $977,494.
The company has been carrying on
fight for a franchise to extend its light
service into platted suburbs of the city,
and the application before .the county
commissioners has been opposed by the
city, which asked for a common user
clause in the permit. The company has
this week consented to meet the objec
tions of the city, and will Insert a com
mon user clause. The city's move In
this matter was Influenced by the pos
sibility that it might want to compete
in the territory, and that a 'permit with
out the common user clause would mill
ate against its application, should the
public service commission be called
upon to pass upon the entry of a rival
In a field already occupied, and very
likely not offering sufficient patronage
for two plants with profit to both.
The electrical union has opposed this
permit, and has started agitation for
the recall of County Commissioner Ham
ilton, who, with County Commissioner
Knudsen, awarded a lighting contract to
the company for lighting the court
house. As the company underbid the
city by half a cent per kilowatt hour,
the commissioners and the company fall
to see any grounds for criticism of the
award. But the union Is arousing sen
timent against the commissioners and
the company, and it developed the past
week that the Puget Sound Traction,
Light & Power company Is alive to the
opposition.

More than 100 business men were the
