SA'FET'Y FIRST This month's Conservation warno against the clanger from fire of Christmas decorations, Great care should be taken that none of the decorative material comes in con- tact with the lights. Usually the decorations are very, inflammlable; when in close contact with even an electric light bulb they quick- ly become charred and start a, blaze. Paper shades on lights, candles on Christmas trees, or in so-called Japanese lanterns have startled many serious fires- . ,Es- pecially at public entertainments, such as church festivals, great care should be taken. Fire extinguish- ers should be at hand in case of necessity. Where lighted candles are used on Christmas trees, the responsibility for seeing that the lives of those present are pro- tected and every precaution taken for the safety of life and property should be definitely assigned.

Mr. Judd was a carpen- ter, and whep he had plenty of work there were light and eheerand warmth in the hone. But after he had fallen from a ladder and broken his leg hard times came to the family in the cottage, and the two little boys, Richard and Robin, whispered together that surely Santa Claus would not find them this year. In former years tie had been good to the two little boys, but this year things would be different, On Christmas ,eve,' after the little' boys had gone to bed, Mr. Judd whis- pered to his wife that Santa Claus might leave some nuts and candies for. Richard and Robin and that he himself had whittled thein two boats that were handsomer than those in the shops, and Mrs. Judd had boiled some molasses and made a big panful of walnut taffy from the store of black walnuts in the attic. Just at that moment Mr. Judd saw a piece of paper pinned to Rob1n's'etock- ing. It was written in the little tad's big round handwriting. "What is that?" he asked, going to the mantelpiece, "Robin's letter to Santa Claus- 1 haven't read it yet. What does it say?" asked Mrs. Judd as she cut the taffy into nice squares and prepared to wrap it in the waxed paper. Mr. Judd read the paper, and his eyes twinkled. "He asks Santa Claus to bring him a little sister. Ile doesn't want anything else. He says he eau be nappy playing with her alt the year around," "The dear child!" sighed Mrs. Judd. "What is that?" tbey both spoke to- gether, for from the porch outside they heard a funny little sound that sound- ed rtruugely line a baby's cry. "11 sumids like a baby," said Mr. Judd, going to the door and turning the Laub quickly. "1t can't be!" said Sirs. Judd, follow - lug him. When Mr, Jndd opened the door the snowstorm tried to enter the warm room, The carpenter peered out into the whiteness and then clown and lift- ed something that was huddled against the door. It's a basket and there's a baby in- side!" he cried as he closed tho door and set the basket and its contents on the table. Sure enough, in a nest of warm clean blankets was a six months old baby girl; blue eyed, golden balred, dimpled. Her clothes were coarse but cleat, and pinned to her wbitc frock was a note saying that the baby's mother was dead and that her rather was going to a far country and made a present of her to the kindest people in the town he tcuew. And there was some money in the en- velope, all that the poor father could spare. It was vele/ little. "Shall we keep her?" asked Mr. Judd, for they were quite poor and his ill- ness bad brought tunny heavy bills to pay. "She came to us," whispered Mrs. Judd as she hugged the baby they bad found in the scan', "We can spare enough for her And the boys will be so happy to bave bei!" "'That settles it!" sats Mr. Judd, and he went up into the attic after the lit- tle cradle in which Richard and Robin used to sleep. When Christmas' morning dawned Richard and Robin crept out of bed and tiptoed into the sitting room. They always did this on Christmas morning so as not to awaken their parents. It was barely daylight. They could see their stockings banging. from the mantelpiece, and out of the tops were stick- ing two red paint- ed sailboats just alike: Besides B' �1i� the eeox es �✓ boats there were "um cram 'co us," tenswarm , knittedred bymit- wxxarzxisn stns. loving fingers, ten' and there were delicious Walnut taffy wrapped in wax- ed paper and some red apples. And just as they reached the red ap- ples the little boys looked down and saw the,oid cradle with the snow ba- by's bright and blue eyes staring up at them. a How the cottage rang • with their cries of joy! )tow they hugged the new baby sister, whom they thought Santa Claus had left,' at their door! But we ani know that sometimes when Santa Claus is very:busy hehasto ask grownup folks to help himdistribute the good things at Obristmas tide since he cannot get around to all the homes of all the good children in one evening without tiring his reindeer too much. "Hurrah!" cried Richard and Robin, running to awaken their parents, "Merry Christmas, father and mother!

Breams, The regular lesson' in It Icings xvii tells of the consummation et Israel's sin under Hosea, their last king, until the Lord removed them put of Llis. sight. 'There was none left but the tribe of Judah only tavil, 181. Judah also kept not the commandments of the Lord, but slimed more and more, with but few exceptions as. to their kings,' until they, too, were eurrietl Into cap- tivity (xvii, 19; II Chiron. xxxii, 15-19). It is refreshing to turn Mora such a 'record to the story of the birth of their long promised Messiah, of whom it was foretold' that He would be born of a virgin, in the, town of Bethlehem, of the line of David tisa, vii. 14;'Le, 8, 7; bile. v, 2). So it came to pass that "When the fullness of the time was come God sent forth LIis Son, made of e woman„ made under tbe law, to re- deem them that were under the law" (Gal. iv, 4, 5). . God moved the world by a decree from the iuler of the world, in order that this blessed Virgin Mary .should some from Nazareth to Bethlehem; that this wonderful babe should be born in the place' foretold by the prophet. And so it came to 'pass that while they were at Bethlehem site brought forth her firstborn sun, * * * and laid Hint• In a manger beeause there was no room for them In the inn (Luke ii, 1-7). The only babe that was ever born whose With did not mean the beginning of his existence, for of this child it was true' that His goings forth were from the days of, eternity (Mie. v,' 2). He had walked in human form with Adam in Eden, had eaten Abraham's food, talk- ed with Joshua, Gideon and Manoah. Truly great is the mystery of godliness. God was manifest iu the flesh (I Tim. in, 16). We are not required to understand it,, but simply to believe it, as little children who believe what they are told, for these things are hidden from the wise and prudent and revealed unto babes.i These shepherds were like babes, for when told the Wonder- ful tidings they did not for a moment question, but said, "Let us now go even unto Bethlehem and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us" (verse 15). They came with haste and found it just as the angel had said, and then they made known abroad that which they bad seen and heard (verses 16, 17). When the disciples were sent to bring the ass' colt for Rini to ride upon and to find the room where they might prepare the last passover, it is written of each event that "they found as He had said unto them" (Luke xis, 32; xxti, 13). As to making it known, we think of Peter and John and bear therm suing, "We cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard" (Acts , iv, 20), All shall come to puss es 1t is written in the book, and we shall tinct iu ibis world and in the ages to come just as He has said. If we were as simple minded believ- ers as these shepherds we would be ever glorifying alts praising Gad for all the things heard and 1000, as told us in His Word. Some would only wonder, but some would, like Mary, keep the words in their hearts and ponder them (verses IS -20). It is ours to tell. He will watch over His word, and it Will always accomplisb Iris pleasure (Isa. iv, 11; Jor. 1, 12). The shepherds were quietly, occupied with their regular work. keeping watcb over their flocks, when tbe messenger from heaven came to them with the wonder- ful tidings. So it was with Moses and Gideon and Elisha and Amos tied Zacharias and 11lary; all were going about their ordinary work. The angel came in the night. The world was still and unexpectant. When our Lord shall come again it will be in such an hour as we think not. There was a +glory with the angel which made the shepherds sore afraid, but the first word was the oft repeated "Gear not." flow many do you know?. How many have you appropriated and laid to heart? The good tidings of great joy were not only for them, but for all people. Can the tidings be really joy- ful to those who profess to believe them, but are doing hoth!u„to1 elp all people to know? Can people know Jesus Christ the Lord as their own personal Saviour, who forgives' and saves diem, and not desire above all things to make known this great salvation? It dubs seem,im- possible. But how explain the indif- ference of the vast multitude of pro- fessed believers? Are those who are not interested in matting known the glad tidings real believers? God only knows Suddenly a multitude of an gels josn tmh first angel, and all unite in proclaiming, "Glory to God In t'he highest, and on earth peace, good will toward menl" Not peace, but glary to God, is the first thing. and there can be no peace until we are willing to glorify God by honoving,Ilis ,Son.

THE OLD CHRISTMAS HYMNS,-, d• It is good to think of the old- » time Christmas hyinns again as the Day approaches; good to get - out worn hymn books; the pret- tiest for the piano rack, with tunes as well as words, and play and sing them over, just as we • should' re -read, if pleasure and duty join hands, the story of .- Scrooge and 'Marley's Ghost. It is ,even good to recall the titles more or less familiar to all » •- bf us, according to our bringing up. There are "Hail to the Lord's Anointed," "As with glad- •' - ness men' of old did the guiding •' star behold," "Angels from the •; realms of • glory," and "Hark, -. what mean those holy voices," each reiterating in rhythmical melody the story of the ancient '- •- chroniclers: In the little church where the flaring star poised a bit unstead- ily over the white head of the beloved pastor, "Oh, come, all ye faithful," ushered in `toe day, - and no matter how fast sped the ;; minutes, how near the approach of the dinner hour, or how ex- :: aw pectantly youngsters thought of •� unrifled stockings, if the eanly '•� morning service invited them - there was always plenty of time 7. for "Joy to the world, the Lord •`• is come," "When marshaled on "' the mighty plain," "Brightest ..
