"Merry ChrlMtmu to all the children,
Wherever they may chance to be!
To'fhe merriest band on the sea or the land,
Wherever i be Christ child reaches hit hand
and aayi
Little one come unto Me."
"Merry Chrlatmaa to all the children, In palace
' i t i I ' i 1 1 t.
With many a toy, and many a Joy,
The dear little darlings ao cunning and coy,
Kach Bweetbeurt, or Dimple, or Dot."

val of poetry, story and iodb.
The Chrlntmaa ueasoa la a time of
family reunions, then the children in
aobooL factory, farm and forest re
turn home. Tbey go from the etruff
gle and competition of life to the old
homestead in the valley. Around the
old fire place, boya and girls long
since grown to manhood 'a and wom
anhood's daily task, lecall . the etory
and adventures of youtb'a golden
hours. They review the wanderings
far and near over meadows and bills.
U! happy Uriel mag time, wben wo
with the family circle gather about
familiar scenes and join In dblMbood
games. Wben we oiime walking upon
the beauty of this earth it was like a
fresh and dewy morning. Sometimes
we seemed to tee mountains olad in
pure white snow. Alter 40 or CO years
of experience we see a few snow traces
of bloody foot prints and Impurity ; a
few blossoma of the dawn are swept
away. Wcf have foil the U ghtlug wind
of time, which has loft the ilowers
drncplng, but the Christmas spirit
makes things new. It is the Christ
mas spirit which makes the deserts
blossom and reveals treasurers of im
mortal worth. At Christmas time
we learn to prize the joys aud sancti
ty of home. Uod meant that we
Bnould live in homes, in iamilies,
- where each is the servant of ail, and
all are the servants of each. The most
primitive of all ohurohes la the homo.
There is the domestio altar over
which the father and mother pieside,
there sacrifices are made, there is the
seat of culture whloh moulds charac
ter from the cradle to the grave.
Home is the best and surest place of
preparation for a career on earth and
a home eternal.
Out of humble homes, with only
paper curtains and rag carpets, have
come great v en. We need the home
memory aud the borne rest. The
years are short enough and time goes
quickly with busy people. We work
in a rush aud eat in a hurry. We
A met loans cook iu a very hot oven.
We need to slow up at Christmas and
let the rush and friction and heat of
lite oool down in the home. Make
home attractive. Indulge your ohil
dren in a few cheerful things at
Christmas. It will warm the affec
tions, nurse weakness into life and
give the home a bright heart shine.
Humanity will always be interested. In
Christmas, it is no myth; no fair
flower that withers in ycur band; but
it is reminder that heavenly light
waa brought into this world by a lit
tle child. We will need the cheer.
the heart warmings of the Christmas
tide. We need something that shall
give meaning and relish to the pro
digious efforts and petty results of
life. The Cbiistmaa null It elves im
pulse to heroio daring'and a i ; eternal
slgninioHiioe to our line ting borne.
What would our world be without a
Christmas? In English homes it al
ways baa been a time of merry mak
ing. Here la a verte over 4iK) years
old "When Cryst was born, O, Mary
tree, In Bedlam in tht fayre oyte.
angellis saugen with mirth and glee
in exioeuus golrlee. " Une of Crom
well's major-geueials describes in
lively verse Christmas:
',Now all our neighbor' chimneys nmoke,
And ChrlHtmaa block, are burning;
Their oven, they with buked meat choke,
And all their spit are turning.
Without the door let sorrow lie,
And If for cold It hap' to die,
We'll bury It In tlirlstmus pie
And er more be merry."
Uood-natured Walter Scott wrote:
"Kuglnnd waa merry England, when ul.l
C'hrlxtmas brought hi, upon tiln,
'TwaaChrlHtma, broached the nilghtlcNt air;
Twasl'hrlHtmna told the men-lent talc;
A CbrlHtma, gambol oft would cheer
A poor', mail', heart through half the ycur.
Let us be more merry thai) olilen
England, and let the songs ami sto
ries have their merry round.
Let us then welcome the spirit of
Christmas making all things new. It
would bid ii to cease loving our self
will aud pay uo more tithiugs to evil,
nor ciedit falsehood. If we are pre
vented fiom seeing the sun it is be
cause there are shadows. Christmas
is the birthday of man's hope, the
coming of the spirit making things
new.
For one to live iu this world
abounding iu homes, beauty, plenty,
poetry, music and the Christmas gift
of Uod is like one whs dies of thirst
while the niusio of warbling biooks
makes melody In his ears; it is like
one who dies of starvation while all
about him the graineries are ll.hd
with goldeu grain.
We send a Christmas greetiug and
hope that the Christmas spirit may
persuade the lives of old and youuj.
of friends at borne and of those fur
away. Come then, let us fling away
on CbristmBs night our cares and let
us forget the burdens of many years
of time. "Let all our neighbor's
chimneys smoke" and we will go
borne and be boys and gills again
with Christmas play and spirit to
obeer our poor hearts through all
the year. W. 0. Oilmore

Your
- Health
Is your best 'asset. Proper health is most
essential to your happiness and welfare.
Pure air is an absolute necessity, and no
effort should be spared to keep it so in every
house.
Where open-flame illuminants rob the air
of oxigen and turn it into carbonic acid gas,
pure air is an impossibility.
Air poisoned by the flame of n gas jet, or
that of an oil lamp is unfit for breathing
purposes and exercises a decidedly injurious
effect upon the occupant of the room.
Electric Light burning in an air-tight bulb
leaves the air of the room pure and fresh,
and furnishes a better, brighter and safer
light than any other medium.
We furnish the current and a phone mes
