festival above all: On Christmas

causing oscillation. If the set has
this characteristic, much less trouble

"The reception of signals at 'zero
beat' causes more interference than
any other method of tuning and
obtained are not at all satisfactory
unless one juggles the vernier or
tickler dial. Each movement of
either dial causes the detector tube
to transmit weird signals, and those
should be discouraged. The results
in turn are heard by all local list-
eners. Again, the varying strength
of signalsmay cause the detector

Rev. Dr. Gordon, who is sometimes
known as Ralph Connor, author of
the "Man from Glengarry" and other
works of an amusing, and, I believe,
of an instructive nature, gave an ad-
dress in the Metropolitan Methodist
church on Thursday evening in favor
of church union. Some of the non -
unionists refer to him as that old

There were four nominated for the
office of Mayor here and none of
them have dropped out at tine of
writing. At any rate the contest will
be between Mayor Hiltz and Con-
troller' Thomas Foster. Hiltz is a
Methodist, a Conservative add an
Orangeman. Foster says he voted
for Government control as he thought'
it might improve' present conditions..
He is a Conservative and an Angli-
can, I think, and is sometimes called
the watchdog of the treasury, He
stands a good chance of being elected
to this important position.

HRISTMAS has a place all its
own in the Iove of mankind. Of
all the days in the round of the.
year Christmas, including the little
fringe of time just 'before and just
after is the date of romance to mil-
lions. It is looked forward to as the
coming of a very dear friend. It is
greeted with the heartiest weicome
on its arrival; and it is-rarewelled
with a touch of sadness that is soft-
ened by the thought that twelve
months will bring another of the
same.
Christmas comes in authority, but
in a smiling, genial, benevolent auth-
ority. It tells the toiler to forget
his toil for a brief space. It tells
countless multitudes of young men
and maidens to forego their various
tasks for a wee while and pack up
their club bag and board the train
for ")tome sweet home." It gives
the class rount, the school, the store,
the factory, the mart of commerce
a lonely look, while it glorifies the
home and home ties.
It is the season of sweet iltunanity
when friendship and warmth and
brotherhood come to finest expres-
sion—the season when even very dig-
Mfied folk unbend and wear their
heart on their sleeve.
And what has Christmas to say to
to -morrow? This: Keep up the
Christmas spirit. Continue the kind-
ly salutation; continue the goodwill
that finds utterance around Decem-
ber 25th; continue the smile -habit;
continue the- -Compassionate outgoing
towards the poor and needy; seek
the harmony rooted in goodness and
godliness; that the Angels sang about
when announcing to the Shepherds
the birth of the Prince of Peace in
the lonely manger. The malt so' do-
ing will be a best citiken in Canada
or anywhere else:
F. H. LARKIN.
HE TIME draws near the birth
of Christ—that Bute that front
the beginning until now has
charmed men's hearts, has soothed'
their fears; and kindled, new and
holier hopes and aspirations. In

men looked upon God as something
to be dreaded, but with 'His advent
all this was changed. The Word was
made Flesh and dwelt among us.
How? Full of terrors and full of des-
truction? No, full of grace and full of
truth. Now we see flow it is there is
joy in the presence of sickness and
suffering. It is because sympathy
with the sufferers is drawn out at
this season. On such a day as Christ-
mas the love of Christ draws you
hearer to the sufferer, and the suf-
ferer nearer to you. But there are
some for whom the message of
Christmas has no message of joy. I
mean the selfish man. The man who
thinks of himself first, of himself
second, of himself third, of himself
always, who wants everything made
for his own comfort and. enjoyment.
Such a man is never happy—no, not
even on Christmas Day—because he
bas 110 heart to go out and enjoy
the brotherhood of the world in Je-
sus Christ. Such a man would tell
us he was weary of Christmas, and
would like to get rid of it altogether.
It is much the sante with the man
whose heart is set on gambling, that
most selfish of all pursuits-, whether
the gambling is of the race course or
of the money market, he looks upon
his fellow man as somebody to trade
upon, somebody from whom he must
get money, regardless of all ques-
tions of right and wron.v,. To him
the_ Christmas. festival is so much
cant, humbug a`hd nonsense. "Behold
I bring you glad, tidings of great joy"
That was the heavenly message. If
your heart does not answer to the
message of joy, don't put the blame
on God and don't put the blame on
a worn-out exploded Gospel, put it
where it ought to be, in your own
selfish heart, that has not yet learned
to love God, and therefore cannot
love your fellow man for God's sake.

The Roxboro school' entertain-
ment on Tuesday night was a de-
oided success. Although the weather
was not ideal a large crowd gathered..
The first number, chorus and drill by
the school children, was well render-
ed and appreciated: A Christmas
play—"The Real Santa Claus" was
very pretty and well done. The dia-
logue—"A Farm for Sale" caused
many shhrieks of laughter. The read-
ings anti song given `by Mr. 'Frank
Coates were greatly appreciated, and
doubly so, as he had• at one time
been a teacher in that school. The
Piano solos by Miss Edythe Hunt
were all that could be desired: All
were delighted with kir: J. T. Scott's
solos, which were rendered in his
usual able manner, Beatrice Mc-
Gowan gave a good exhibition of
Highland dancing, All enjoyed the
play "The Last Loaf." All the parts
were well taken. Mr. McNay made a
very capable chairman. The piano
was loaned by Mr. J. Hugill and
greatly aided in the musical part of
the programme. The proceeds go to
procure books for the library.
Persistent Asthma. A most dis-
tressing characteristic of this debili-
tating disease is the persistence with
which recurring attacks come to sap
away strength and leave the suffer-
er in a state of almost continual ex-
haustion. No wiser precaution can
he taken than that of keeping at
hand a supply of Dr. J. D. Kellogg's
Asthma 'Remedy, famous as the
most potent remedy for eradicating
the disease from the tender air pas-
sages.

RADIO NOTES.
Iiow• to Tune in With a Regener-
ative Set—Mr. A. W. 'Phillipi, of the
Westinghouse Electric and Manu-
facturing
anufactoring Company, writes as follows
apropos the regenerative situation in
Radio Broadcast:
First of all, the radio set should' be
of a godo design. Secondly, it should
be connected up properly. We now
turn on the .filaments of the tubes to
their proper brilliancy, which varies
with the different types sof tubes.
With the tickler or amplification dial
or pointer turned to zero, we next
trove the tuning dial or dials slowly
from the left to the right, listening
for signals. If no signal is heard,
the tickler or amplification dial
should be advanced slightly from the
zero position on the dial, and again
the tuner dials should be turned
slowly over,_their, range. 'Should a
signal be heard but faintly; the tick-
le? should be advanced as far as
s>ossible without .Causin a hissin
