In all\nthis fear-wracked world there is just one factor that\nmakes for peace and good will, just one motive that\nmay dominate and modify all the myriad motives\nthat are disintegrating society, ruining happiness and\ndestroying life. And that factor springs from and is\nfounded upon a birthday, the birthday of the world's\noutstanding hero, the birthday of the Prince of Peace.\nIt is the birthday of a man, Jesus, the Son of Mary;\nbut it is so much, so very much, more than that.\nIt Is the birthday of an ideal, an ideal so high, so\npotent and so transcendent that- it is but reasonable\nto call it The Ideal, the ultimate ideal of human\nblessedness and fulfilment. This ideal is, at once,\nmost simple and most profound; it is a vision, the\nvision of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood\nof Man.\nThis vision and this ideal furnish a strong foundation upon which all men of good will may take\ntheir stand and find, among all the jarring elements\nof world disorder, a vantage ground from which to\nsurvey the world-scene of storm, and stress with\nhope, with purpose and with confidence; with hope\nthat the leaven of peace may some day so permeate\nthe mass of human society that war shall be no more;\nwith purpose that so far as our effort and influence\nmay be exercised it shall be for health and happiness\nand friendship; with confidence that the causes of\nright and good and kindness shall prevail and that\nhumanity shall dwell in security and safety, unfettered by fear and unharmed by hate.\nThis spiritual basis of life and outlook is, after\nall, the Special tie that binds us, it is the one feature\nof our human relationship that has no possible disintegrating qualities; it transcends all difference of\nrace, color and creed; it Is not shrewdness; or policy,\nor comptomise, it is vyjajpr-n. It js not futility, or\nfeebleness, or failure, it is power: It is not darkness\nor blindness or uncertainty, it is light. It answers\nalf questions, it solves all problems, it unburdens ail\nhearts, It glorifies every life.\nThis vision and ideal flows forth from the birthday which is Christmas and, recognized or not for\nwljat It is and whence it comes, It Infl6ences mightily\nthe hearts and lives of men. So great is this Influence\nthat for once in all.the busy, fretful year, rivalries\nare forgotten, cares and burdens are laid aside, disputes and differences are relegated to the background, and i\u00b0y *hd PMCe in^ friendship reign.\nThis forms a mipity contrast; and this contrast\nIS pictured Wth in our obWrvance of this greatest of\nall hbmah celebrations. Whil* trees are. stripped\nOf foliage and nature lies dormant in its Winter\nshroud, innumerable trees' in a myriad homes baar\nglittering, glowing, enlivening fruit; while all around\nit stilt and <aWk,eltwithln ftgay and joyful and notsy\nwith merriment, while the outer air is chill and bleak,\nthe- atmosphere of countless homes is warm and\nkind end radiant with love. And there Is \"Peace and\nGood Will.\" The Christmas spirit reigns, and every\nhome where Christmas is thus kept, no matter how\nhumbly, is an agericy for the dissemination of happiness, a haven of shelter'fr*m the Unhealthy influences of selfishness and greed, and an insurance\nagainst discard end strife! Every home, including\n- yours and mine, in the measure in which it keeps\nChristmas, is a power of peace and a focus of good\nwill.\nChristmas is, especially, the children's day. He\nwho was born on this day loved children and children\nloved Him. His birth, and all Wat His birth\" has\nbrought, have made a wonderful change in the life of\nchildren. We gather our children about us at\u00a3hrist-\nmas time, we rejoice in their happiness and mirth, we\nlove the sparkle in their eyes and the ring of their\nlaughttr. We give them gifts and our hearts are\nwarmed by their excitement. We receive gifts from\nthem, sometimes so simple but always so dear, and\nour hearts are warmed the more. And we wonder,\nwe wonder what the future may hold for them, we\nwonder what kind of a world their world will be, we\nhope they will be spared from the bitterness and sorrow, the sordidness and strife, that life so often holds\nfor the children of men. How shall we best safeguard them, that, however untoward and difficult\nthe outward circumstances of their life may be, they\nmay be shielded from harm and grow up in health\nand happiness, having within themselves a secret of\nstrength, wisdom and confidence that will keep their\nminds serene and clean, their hearts kind and brave,\nand their spirits undismayed?\nThis we can do. We can keep the light of\nChristmas shining through.fhe year; we can make\nthe cheer of Christmas the constant atmosphere of\nour homes, and we can use our every effort to see\nthat the kindness of Christmas is not nullified by un-\nkindnest and irritability in succeeding days.\nBut if would not become us to speak of the\nBirthday without remembering whose Birthday it\nis. That first Christmas marked the dawn of a day\nthat has not yet reached its noon. No matter whit\nour religious belief may be. we knOw that the Being\non Whose birthday we rejoice, wrought the greatest\nchange in all history, gave a new trend to the destinies of mankind, and shaped us to a finer mould.\nHis birth was of the most humble. Of all the\nthousand races who paid tribute to the Caesars,\" His\nwas the least considered. Of all His race, His station\nwas the lowest. He was born in obscurity, cradled in\na manger. Three Wise Men, they say, offered Him\ngifts but what did the Jewish priest or Roman official think of their wisdom? He was brought up to\nbe a carpenter in a time when daily industry was\nless favorably regarded than it is now. When he\ntalked, those who listened to Him were the least\nrespected and lowliest in station; poor tradespeople,\ntax collectors, fishermen, outcasts, perhaps a few of\nbetter education, but practically none of the powerful, fortunate, or influential.\nInto a hard world came the founder of Christianity, unheralded, except to shepherds; unfriended,\nexcept by these three strange, wise travellers.\nThe burden of His teaching was to urge the forgiveness of sins, the high virtues of tolerance, and\nto show the vision of morality and kindliness far\nabove the power of enforcement by any human law.\nJap Advance oil\nSingapore Fought\nlo a Standstill\nSINGAPORE, Dec. 14 (AP). - A\nstaunch but ragged BritUh line tth-\nwtrt the mtngrove twimpt and\nmoutnalni ot North Malaya appeared today to have (ought the Japaneie idvtnce on Singapore to a\nlUnditill.\nAbove the brillitnt green ot the\nMiltyin jungle carpet and on the\nfltnki of thli tll-etientltl naval\nbate the Japaneie, too, were feeling\nthe riling power of the Allied lir\nforcei\nThe Roytl Xir Force, after t 10-\ndiy lull, was In the ilr In itrength,\npounding Jtptneit operational\nbttet in the Northern Maliya tnd\ndefending treu between the Brltlth ltnd lint tnd Singapore\nagalnit Japaneie air aattult In\nformtUon Uie RAF. raided Sun-\ngei Ptttnl 25 milea Northeut of\nPentng Iiland, where the Japaneie are trying to utilize a former\nBritiih air field.\nOfficial account! of yeiterdty'i\nair rtld on Rangoon.

He preached a\nrevolution; but the revolution He preached was\nspiritual, not physical or economic. For this teaching\nHe suffered an ignominous and cruel death, and was\nafterward buried by a few of His followers. No one\nin Rome knew that He died, few knew that He had\never lived.\nThe books that have been written, and are being\nwritten, about Him, and about His life and teachings,\nfill vast libraries. The simple record of His life and\nworks and words is soon read. It has proved Itself\nto be not easily forgotten. From it has come all of\nour happier, more kindly civilization of today, all\nour finest and most unselfish aspirations. All through\nour life there is not a singlt day that Is not made\nbetter for us by the consequences of that birth.\nThe Roman eagles have fallen, the Roman trumpets\nare silent, the Roman wall crumbles to decay. All\nthat was considered great on that first Christmas Day\nis now forgotten and of no account. And what was\nleast considered then Is now the highest. Irrespective\nof all religions, do we not, most of us, at this time,\njoin the Wise Men, and with some offering of spirit\nand heart, go once more to Bethlehem? We have\nseen the star in the East. We know from what small\nbeginnings the greatest thing of all has grown; and\nsurely, with aa Impulse of gratitude, warrn and deep,\nwe remember-, once again, our Cfeatest Hero.\nR.A.F.

Ai we know it now, it\nwas not seen in England .until the reign of\nQueen Victoria. The old pagan mid-Winter\nfeast of Jule was Christianized, as Christianity penetrated North, and it may possibly be\nthat the Christmas tree is a contribution to the\nseason's joy from Northern Europe.\nReader, Nelson  \u2014  Please tell  me  what day\nChristmas Day .fell upon in 1916.\nMonday.\nNorwegian Clery\nRefuse to Sign\nSome time ago the Department of Church\nand Education of Quisling's puppet government requested all the pastors of Norway to\nsign an \"Appeal to the Norwegian people\"\ndealing with the church's stand in the \"final\nsettling of accounts with Bolshevism.\" Almost\nunanimously Norwegian pastors refuied to\ncomply with the request.\nOne of the replies, sent to the Quisling\ngovernment by the pastors of West Telemark,\nstates:\n\"We cannnt give the appeal our approval\nand we cannot sign it. We have always fought\nand will always continue to fight against God-\nlessness in all forms and wherever it is found,\nand against all forces which as enemies of\nGod would crush or falsify the Christian gospel. But our weapons are only those which\nGod has given us. We find that the Appeal to\nth$ Norwegian people, both in content, form\nand principle, represents an unperrnissible and\ndangerous mixture of religion and politics\nwhich for reasons of principle it is our duty\nas Christians and as pastors to definitely oppose. The final, decisive battle against God*\nlessness and the enemies of God will not be\naccomplished by war and weapons but by\nGod's Holy Spirit. Because of this our situation toa_.y is one nf compulsion, Our people\nare at war. It seems to us that the Appeal to\nNorwegian People under present conditions\nwould help bring on civil war. The mere\nthought of this is abhorrent to us. It would be\nintolerable and impossible to use our church\ngospel and scared clergy for such a purpose.\nWe point this out as basis for our stand and\nalso, most earnestly, to ask the Department to\nrevoke its request'and to halt the appeal.\"\nPrisoners Study for\nCollege Degree\nLONDON, \u2014 British prisoners of war in\nGermany are working for honors degrees at.\nLondon   University,\n\u25a0 In all. 1832 of our men there are now preparing for their return to civil life as engineers, accountants, geologists, book-keepers,\npoult\/y raisers and for other careers. They\nare studying French, German, Chinese, Japanese, even Provencal philology.\nThis unique educational departure has\nbeen made possible by a feat in organization\nworking from fhe New Bodleian Library,\nOxford, where Miss Ethel Herdman, M.A., of\nthe Red Cross Book Departent, is arranging\nthese and similar courses of study for our\nprisoners of war. In a long room lined with\ntables are the sections for each prison camp\nto which material for study is sent, and from\nwhich letters have arrived asking for vocational, cultural or educational advice. Engineering is the most popular subject, then modern languages. Wireless is very popular, too,\nbut books on it have been prohibited.\nIn addition to the arrangements made for\nprisoners by London University to work for\nhonors degrees, many trade and craft institutes\nare cooperating with' Oxford\u2014the College of\nEstate Management. Pitman's College, the\nGordon College, Aberdeen, the grocers, and\nothers\nThe plan is run through the Camp Leaders, who act as general administrators, and\nthe work is arranged to enable prisoners to\nadvance towards specific examination when\nthe war is over and they all come home,\nPress Comment\nIt will certaioly seem to many people\nhigh time that the Minister of Food began to\nmt up and take some notice of the faked-\nfood merchants and their operations though\nthe courts and the police seem to have an\neven more immediate and direct interest In\nthe affair.\nThe \"black market\" operators who sell\ncontrolled articles on the sly seem almost\nbl.imeless by comparison, for though they act\nillegally they do at least distribute real food,\nwhereas several recent prosecutions of the\nfood-fakers indicate they might nearly as well\nhave been selling sand for human consumption.\nPlain.straightforward flour is evidently\nthe stand-by of the business; the label and a\nlittle coloring matter transform It into \"egg\noowder,\" \"dried milk\", \"meat extract.\" or anything rise.
