decIrtred Ills knowledge of a traitor
among His chvosen apostles. It was
an extreme moment for Judas. In the
Presence or his unsuspecting brethren
and his compassionate Master, he was
free to repent and break away from
his evil purpose. His withdrawal.
from the eacred company was his de-
cisive step. Before leaving that table
where they had celebrated Israel's de-
liverance from rondage, Jesus insti-
tuted another supper in its place to be
celebrated in memory of His atoning
death. All types were fulfilled in
Him. Instructions and prayer follow-
ed before He retired with the eleven
into the garden of Gethsemane. To
the disceples it was to be the scene or
their weakness and fear. To Jesus
it Was the place of His atoning agony
where Ile suffered as a man's substi-
tute, as the bearer of sin, as an at-
cepteble • sacrifice to God. Peter's
rash act of defenee with his sword
was rebuked end his evil repaired.
Jesus still provided for the safety of
His disciples. The wealmees of hu-
man nature was further brought out
when Peter -trusted in himself to act
tID to hie standard of faitfulness, only
to be driven to bitter tears of repent-
ance. At the cross all hope seemed
lost, thengh love held in precioue
memory him whom the disciples had
hoped would redeem Israel. Not un-
til the resurrection and Christ's ap-
pearance to His diseiples, where He
commissioned them to snread the glad
tidings to all nations. did the disciples
recall and understand the meaning of
all Christ's suffering% His death and
resurreelloo, Prom weak and eow-
ardly disciples they were to become

AChristmas Reverie
By Miss Biliie Burke
(13y Billie Burke)
Although this blessed season means
the commemoratioe by all Christen-
dom of. the birth or its Saviour, yet
we cannot psparate from Him His
mother, who uncomplainingly helped
him beae His cross from the manger
to Calvary.
' -The sreat appeal that Christ makes
to us would lose half of its impressive -
Imes if in the backgronnd we did not
always see Mary with her wonderful
human mother love -a love We can
always understand.
Even tee heart-rending picture of
the crucifixion would be incomplete
without Mary standing by in agonized
helplessness praying that she might
herself bear he: Son's pain and an -
We are not told how much Mary
:tired the world, but we know how
'Mich Mary. loved her Son -loved him
with all the devotion that only moth -
ere eau give and only mothers can
understand. Time makes no change
in mother love and to every mother
to -day curries the same absorbing pas-
sion that macm Mary think only of
her .Son from the- time the angels an-
nounced His .contiog to her until that
Vaal night Wheat she watched His
sepulchre.
Ne other patience so inexhaustible,
no other truet eo implicit, no other
faith so steadfast, no other love so
ueselfish!
Mother --No other word in our lan-
guage can call to mind so much that
makes life worth living. It matters
not that her face is wrinkled and
worn or her form is bent wita years
and care; to her child she must ever
be as the most beautiful woman on
expressive eyes and sympathet-
e airitehr,
le mouth spell unselfishness and self-
sacrifice. Her arms have made a hav-
en when all the world seemed to be
turning down its thumbs. On her syia-
pathetie breast has leen poured sor-
row, anger, grief, while through her
lips that were pressed to aching fore-
heads. have always come words of
consolation and comfort.
To her our little successes aro tri-
umphs, and our ephemeral popularity
she magnifies into lasting fame.
We read, "God so loved the world
that 110 gave His only begotten Son"
that we might live, but I have always
thought the sacred historian might
have gone further and Written what
all of us know who have tried to
measure -that immeasureble thing, a
mother's love. Because God's love for
His only begotten Son was infinite,
He gave Him a real human mother
just like yours and mine.

Let her he overambitious and keep up a
huge list of friends with whom she ex-

sure to be a nightmare to her. Even
where the busy girl can afford the
moneY to give 1avisbly at Christmas the
drain upon her time ana strength is
more than she should endue.
Unless she is methodicats-whIch she
usually is not -her present buying or

One girl buye 'nor Christmas presents
whenever she has a spam 59 cents

away in a trunk ready to be sent out
the day before Christmas..

are given a lot of advice about shopping
early. et Is wise, it is comfortable, even
money saving, but it is often not possible
because one has no money to save.

vanish in ehildish disappointment
when they learned that the tree they
had been promised was net to be,
theirs.
The tears brimmed over and fell,
RegIna's vision was cleared and in
the clearing she gazed directly at the
Miniature fir tree in the vacp.nt, lot
ncict door, A sense of keen delight
swept over Regina. After all, her
children wend have a tree.
Some fifteen minutes later Regina
appeared in outdoor costume. She
had put on her gymnasium suit, high
rubber boots and her father's great
top coat. Over a riot ‘of curls her
Snug fur cap eitted closely,
"You look for all the world as of
you deserved your nick -name," expos-
tulated her mother. "Regina, I do
hope no one will see you,"
"There's no one for miles around,"
Regina laughed, and shouldered an
ave. "Unless the people who live in
the bungalow turn up -1 will have the
world to myself." She Welted up a
big aub with her free hand and trudg-
ed off towards the fir tree in the
vacant lot.,
Regina's eyes were to intent on her
mission to notice that a thin curl of
smoke was twisting erom the chimney
re! the bungalow that rambled in
the lot beyond the vacant one.
Regina drew near the coveted tree
and her heart expanded liyingly. .
"What a little beauty," she excaina
ed half aloud.
The little tree stood not much high-
er than Regina. Over its branches a
veil or smoke seemed to linger. After
a moment spent in admiration the
girl put down her big tub and began
to clear away the light fall of snow
from about the roots of the tree.
Her cheeks were gloriously red and
the sparkle in her eyes rivalled the
day itself .
When the snow was cleared Regina
swung the great axe into the frozen
earth. The ground scarcely fespond-
terdeietor her strength. She swung again.
"Hey! What are you doing to that
Reeina dropped her axe and 'gazed
in die direction or the deep, gruff
voice. A man was standing on the
verandah of the bungalow,
Regina picked up her axe and with
much dignity swung Remain.
"I say there, you -that tree belongs
to me." The man was coming toward
her.
Regina stopped and turned. "This
is a vacant lot," she called out with
asperity.
The approaching male whistled. Hie
speed quickened. He made an invol-
untary Movement to raise a cap that
in his haste be had forgotten to put
OD.
"I beg yOur pardon," his voice had
lost the gruff quality, "I thought you
were a man -but -that tree is mine.
I brought it up from my fatliera
garden in the south." •
David Langhorn spoke rapidly. Re-
gina's face was rather startling in
Its beauty and he had a desire to
cover her embarrassment. "I have
taken very special care of that tree,"
'Very special," Regina said coldly.
"I have lived here a whole summer
and no one—"
"I have been away -lately."
"I don't see why you leave poor lit-
tle trees around in vacant lots," Re-
gina. put in hurriedly, because she
felt like crying now that her preciouS
tree was taken from her.
"This is my lot," Langhorn told her.
"If you had chopped down-"
"I wasn't chopping it down." Re-
gina cried indignantly. "I was going
to put it very carefully into this tub."
Sne stumbled over her words but de-
terminea to tell thisevery godo look-
ing red haired man; that she was
not a George Washifigton..
"I ordered a Christmas tree by ex-
press, and it didn't come. My Sunday
School eless-twelve little gitls-are
expecting a tree to -night in my house
end now-" Words failed Regina.
She bit her lip and looked appealing-
ly up at Langford.
The man laughed because it was
the safest thing to do for the present,
"And I have brought down twelve
little settlement boys with the same
promise -and nary a tree have I gat.
'I reckoned on. getting one- in the
village."
Regina laughed end the whole world
seemed to echo the laugh.
"I have tried even the department
store." Sne gazed into David Lang -
horn's eyes. "I am sorry for the poor
little souls we are disappointing -my
Class worked so faithfully all last
summer.!'
"By Jove," David said, read once
of some people who had a, Christmas
tree out of doors. They had greet
bon fires and the tree was lit by a
thousand candles as well as by the
stars. And a real Santa Claus drove
tip over the real snow. COuldn't we
do something like that?
"'With this tree? IIow perfectly
