COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. p GOOD WILL TOWARD A Hen .Kf.l.VIN' the tides tln.t liow f 1 1 . m tunc into eternity linve borne to the world the blessed Hnnivr'r.ary which marked tlio dawn of liopc for Immunity, the day when i a n saw the ultimate victory over death ntul tlic triumph of the immortal over the mortal. Through the darkness the watchers under ealh the midnight skies saw the ri.-in;; of glorious star, and Its light is still shining upon the world to bo a beacon, amid the torm, to lead generations yet unborn to the humble manger sanctified by infinite love and compassion, and mndc holy by the birth of hope that should lift the lowliest mini to the divine heights where he could look un afraid upon the face of his God. "Peace on earth, good w ill to men," earig the heavenly hosts, and the war-vexed world thrilled to the anthem, for in it was heard the thaiikngiving of the slave, whose chains were to be made light by the love of the Christ, whose stripes were to be soothed by thu hand that touched the leper and cleansed him of his foulness, whose shnme was made glorious by a brotherhood with the carpenter's Son of Xazareth, who came to preach the Gospel to the poor. "Peace on earth," the Christmas bells to-day ring eut the message that was flung to the winds of night by the ungel voices on the plains of licthlehem, and from the uttermost ends of the earth men conio to bow down and offer their gifts of frankincense and myrrh, the incense of grateful and loving faith, at the feet of the infant Jesus who was "born King of the Jews," but who reigns Iord of the earth, proclaiming now, ns in the hour when lie took upon Himself the likeness of man, that good-will that endureth from genera tion to generation, and that pities the short comings and failures of men with a bound Jess tenderness. What bring ye, who como to-day to look pou the holy mystery of the Christ-birth, as an offering acceptable to the Saviour of icn; what treasure that shall not perish; what incense that shall be of goodly savor? No longer do men don armor of proof, and buckling on their swords bid farewell to homo and friends, seeking faraway lands that they inoy slay the heathen who believe not in Him, and rescue from impious hands the setmlcher in which His mortal part lay a few brief hours. Christ has revealed Him self as the Saviour of those who know Him not, the lover of peace and the hater r' wars. "The captains and the kings depart," the stillness of death hushes the shouting of the multitude, the laurel withers upon the brow of the conqueror, the gold rusts in the coffer of the miser. Whut arc honor, reoown, riches, as a sacrifice to the King iwho had nowhere to lay His head, to the conqueror who vanquished death, to tha .Creator of the world and the fullnesi thereof? Oh ye who seek the Christ that ye may bow down and worship Him, remember: "Still stands the ancient sacrifice; An humble and a contrite heart." If Christ be truly born unto your souls, Jut your lives proclaim the message that the i bells ring out this Christmas day. The .adoration which strengthens your soul anew .for the conflict of lite should be like a glorious flower, shedding its perfume on the winds that sweep around the world, a puri fying Influence and a beauty which even the most careless eye can see. Gather up some wandering ray from the star shining over ;thc manger, and bear it into the dark places lof tho earth, that it may light some soul in the midnight of despair, and lead it to the .source of immortal radiance. Catch some i wandering tone of the angelic song, and re peat the strain above the pillow where Pain .WRrds off the tender, hand of Sleep, where Regret sounds the dirge over wasted hours, where Sorrow moans in some haunted chamber in which the ghosts of lost days walk wailing for the sweet sin tluit left such deep and stinging wounds. He who bore 'the griefs of men yearns over the wandering Isjieep, and you who have seen His face, who 'have read the tender message of His love, who have trodden with Him the road from Bethlehem to Calvary, remember on this Christmas day that again Ha is born unto you and unto the world. You are the mes sengers who are to bear abroad the peace and good will that tho Heavenly choir proclaimed on that first Christmas night, yon are to interpret the meaning of God be come Man, you are to vindicate tho martyr Aim that bought the highest good with in carnate Virtue',' for "unto you is born this day a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord." ..

Rather Exciting, But All Concerned Are Expected to Recover. ELL, how did Christ mas go oil' at your house?" Mrs. Talk much asked, alter she had told Mrs. Spilkins exactly how itmeh nidi of her own gilts had cost )) '.'' and w hat she had ex- V' nlintioiul tlipm for afterwards. "Oh-h, pretty well. We hope to be fully recovered from the ef fects of it In a week or two. You see, on Christmas Kve the children were so excitrd about the coming of Santa Clans that they couldn't get to sleep. Young Mr. Fizzleton stayed pretty lute, too, at least it seemed so to Mr. Spilkins and myself, though Kthcl didn't agree with us. After he left, w e found that Harry's breathing was still too regular to bo trusted and we must wait to hang the stockings. 1 mid I'd wait up and do it I'm a poor sleeper, anyhow. Why, 1 never close my eyes until I've made Mr. Spiikins get up and investigate the smell of gas in the room!" "Yea, isn't it odd that it only smells after all the jets are turned off! I never used to smell gns until after 1 was married, but now, 1-" "Smell it every nijit? So do I. Mr. Spil kins said he'd get up and hang the stock ings, said he could wake at any moment he chose. It seemed a pity that he never chooses to wake at the regulur hour for get ting up, but 1 said nothing at least very- lit tle. Kthcl wasn't sleepy and wanted to hang them, but her father said she'd be thinking of young Kizr.leton and forget to notice whether the children were asleep or not. Why, she makes enough noise after he leaves at night to wake the dead!" "Yes, the worst thing about Love's young dream is the fact that it forgets that other people need sleep!" "M'hm. Well, I knew I'd have to hang those stockings, so when it was time I crept down to get them. We had left them on tho dining table, but they were gone!" "Mercy, burglars!" "1 knew that and flew upstairs. As I reached the head of the stairs, I heard some one creeping along the hall. In a second I was in the licdrooiii, with tho door locked, but Mr. Spilkins wasn't there!" Gracious, had they "Then came tho most awful groans from the yard below and I knew that they had killed him and thrown him out of the win dow! I remembered then that I had bor rowed his best necktie, the day before, with out remembering to ask his consent, and now I was a lone widow, who could never ak forgiveness for the ink I had spilled on H-l 1 Hew to the window, calling: 'Police! WHEN HE HEARD WIPEY CALL FOR THE l'OLICE. Murder!' Then, I heard some one trying my door!" "The burglars, of course. Oh, you poor heroine!" "Yes, and then came awful screams from Ethel, her voice sounding ns it does when her little brother brings n mouse into the room. Seizing my umbrella, I went to her rescue. In the hall J ran. into thu uimsot a man and must have fainted, for the next thing 1 knew Mr. Spilkins was telling Kthel to burn the ostrich, feathers on my new bonnet and see if thut would not bring me to!" "It did, I'm sure! Hut I thought Mr. Spiikins was murdered and " "Well, he wasn't. Ho had gotten tho stockings and hung them, when he heard me call for the police and " "Hut tho groans und Klhcl's screams?" "The groaning noise was young Mr. Fiz rleton, singing a serenade of Christmas hymns under her window. She slept through that, being roused by her father rattling at my door, and thinking I was murdered!" "Gracious! 1 hope that was the end of it!" "It wasn't. The police came and seeing young Fizzlctoii in the yard, they brought him in to be identified as the burglar! It took half an hour to induce them to let him gti, and then they were still suspicious. While we were thus engaged, the 'children woke up and ate all the candy in their stock ings. I spent the rest of the night between ministering to them and comforting Kthcl, who feared that Mr. i'izzleton would blame her for his sufferings.

"1 felt sure that if he could once be in duced to visit our happy little home he would forget that I ah treated him rather unkindly in eloping with you on. the very day which was to have seen mn his bride. To be sure, I left a note saying that' I felt I could never have made him perfect ly happy.

"Not at all," sighed her husband, "he s most inconsiderate. lie " "However, a woman's tact has bridged the difficulty, as usual.
