There is scarcely a member of the gentler sex, from the age of fifteen to the period when age has been forgotten, who is not confront- ed with the annual Christmas prob- lem. What sbould I give to the male? There are a great variety of males in this world, but here is a tip for the perturbed female who has to enlve the problem. Do not forget the fact that Very man has a touch of vanity in his make-up. If he lacks that he is not just the, sort of male you should knot,. Whether he is your father, brother, nephew or gentleman friend, the rule applies. There must be a. trace of vanity if he is the sort to fit into your scheme of existence. So, play upon that masculine touch when you are do- ing your Christmas shopping. The finest way to play upon the masculine vanity is to hand the gentleman something to add to his personal appearance. The shops are '1'ed with such things at this 'seas- on of th e year, a s you L will 1 re adrl v see ;by. a display of_ elee atiehr ane'. papers, and you with be' asee eelsed' when you visit a haberdashery .shop: +n discover how simple it is to solve oe r to male problem of gift -giving. r what man the side of the North Pole can be impervious to the gift of a shirt, a pair of slippers, a pair of py- jamas, a new neckscarf, a necktie or any one of those almost unaccounted gifts which the average haberdashery stores are now displaying in such a tantalizing inanner. °An Appealing Array The female of Ibis season has not done her duty until she has visited some of these stores. Shits , special- lyamade up for the CGh '' • are displayed in all their appealing vanity. It does not natter what the temper of the male, the answer can be found on the shirt counter of the men's store or the departmental in- stitution. act solve If you are really trying the Christmas problem in the most acceptable manner, devote a few days to studying the types of shirts which your particular male likes to wear. If he is youthful, of the Col- lege Boy type, the stores will have plenty of colors to meet his most exacting taste. If it is friend hus- band, the answer is the sante. No matter who the man or what his walk in life, you . will be able to satisfy him with the appropriate gift.

"Por Ezra had set his heart to seek the law of ; ehoyale and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and ordiu- antes". This important passage was extensively commented upon in the lesson for December 1, and need not occupy us again at this time.

"And 1'1'ehemialt, who was the got, ernor, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levitee that taught the people, said unto all the people, Thla day is holy unto Jehovah your God; mourn. not, nor weep, Por all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law". As the people had, listened to the words of the Iaw', they became conscious of their own sinfulness and broke out in great weeping. Read the Sacred Volume, and, whether you will or not, it will . so affect you, so pierce your heart, so work its way into your very sear; row, that, in comparison with the Im- pression so produced, that of orators and philosophers will almost disap. pear; making it manifest that, In the. Sacred Volume, there is a truth di.; vine, a something which makes it imeasurably superior to all the gifts and graces attainable by man. "Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweat, and send portions unto him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy unto our Lord". See Deut. 16:14; Esther 9:19; 1 Sam, 9:13; 2 Sam. 6:' 19; Ezek. 29:17-20. "Neither be ye grieved; for the joy of Jehovah is your strength". There is a natural' adaptation or provision in the gospel, both of what It brings to us and by, what it takes away from us, to make a calm, and settled, and deep glad ' ness, the prevalent temper of the Christian spirit. "So the Levites stilled ail the people, saying, Hold your peace, for' the day is holy; neither be ye griev_' ed". "And all the people went their, way to eat, and to drink, and to send• portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the; words that were declared unto diem The people had sorrowed because they had not kept the law: they were' able to understand the law. Politeness of the Orient Japan's Official Travel Bureau Ad - Vises on Treatment of Tourists: Do not whiser among yourselves oe titter in. the presence of foreigners. Don't imitate fancy gestures learned at the cinema, which will only excite disgust on the part of foreigners. Don't ask a foreigner's age unless it is -absolutely required. Light pranks add zest to your ser- vice; but don't pull people's ears. Don't eat bananas without cutting them up. Don't suck your fingers or form a circle with your thumb and forefinger. Don't go as far as the door when you direct foreigners to the lavatory. Don't go into the bathroom when foreigners are bathing to ask whe- ther the temperature of the water is just right or to help them wash themselves. targe napkins should be offered to foreign ladies, so that they may hide their knees when sitting. "And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people (for he was above all the people); and when lie opened it, all the people stood up". (Cf. Luke 4:17.) Standing was some- times the posture of prayer denoting humility (1 Sam. 1:26; 1 kings 8;22; Luke 18:11, 13). "And Ezra blessed Jehovab, the great God". This blessing probably took the form of a prayer. "And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with the lifting up of their hands (cf. 5:14)." Some churches have re- sponsive worsbip now. "And they bowed their heads and worshipped Jehovah with their faces to the ground". Such an attitude of prayer is a frequent occurrence in the Scriptures (Gen. 19:1; 42:6; 48:12; 1 Sam. 20:41; 24:8; 1 Citron. 21:21). And they read in the book, in the law of God, distinctly". The worst here translated distinctly occurs in Num. 15:3.4 and means with clearness and precision, for which careful study was required. "And they gave the sense": This phrase occurs only here in the Old Testament, and refers to the parenthetical comment introduc- ed by the reader to explain the text which he is reading.
