livelihood is merely incidental.
Until we get this vision, we will approach the solution oi
our problems without true understanding.
It is time that men who believe in Jesus should make
their faith count—not merely in religious observance, but in
human relations; in civic duty; in business; in industrial man-
agement; in the tasks of office and workshop.
The hope of the world rests upon the leadership of Jesus.
We have a big line of Fruits,
Candies, Nuts, etc., with which
to supply the Christmas trade.
We also have many things
that would make suitable gifts,
such as cigars, cigarettes, to-
bacco in 1-pound jars, pipes,
box candies, and other things.

It is not enough that the spirit of Jesus should be wor-
shiped in our temples or revered in our homes. It is not enough
that His sympathy and help should be expressed in our hos-
pitals, our orphanages, our institutions for the poor and the
afflicted. To be satisfied with this is to evade the real challenge
of His message and to lose the real meaning of His promise.
The spirit of Jesus must be brought into factory and mine
and bank and railroad system; into store and office.
It must reveal to us that man is more than the machine
with which he works; that material wealth was meant to be
the servant, not the master, of the human soul; that the mak-
ing of a life is the supreme thing, for which the making of a

y The Social Message jrj
of Jesus
By S. J. DUNCAN-CLARK.
(Chicago Evening Post.)
EVER did the world need more than now to hear
the authoritative voice of Jesus.
If we are to bring order out of chaos, peace
out of conflict,, brotherhood out of clash of class
and group, we must return in humble spirit to
the Bethlehem manger, to the Nazareth shop, to
the market place, the seashore or the mountain-
side, where the message of Jesus was spoken to
the hearts of men.
Jesus believed in man. It is well to empha-
size this fact in an age of cynicism. There was
no room for despair in His philosophy. He came
into a world where force and fraud and oppression prevailed,
and to the hour of His triumphant death He never doubted
that love and justice and freedom were possible in human re-
lations.
Jesus believed in man as a potential Son of God. His ideal
for society contemplated the emancipation of man from the
control of material things. Mammon should not rule; there
should be no occasion for anxious thought concerning any need
of the body; the spiritual nature of man should be free to
realize its highest destiny.
In the program that He worked out as He toiled at the
bench He planned that service should be the motive and co-
operation the method in human industry. We have substituted
self-advantage for service, and mutual exploitation for co-
operation. While these rule in motive and method we shall
never realize the happiness He desired for us—the happiness
we seek.
Jesus set small store by charity. The philanthropy of
almsgiving was to Him a mere cloak for the imperfections and
inequities of human relations. He put all the emphasis of
His teaching and example upon justice and love. In a world
where these prevailed charity would be unnecessary.
We have traveled so far from the ideals of Jesus it is not
easy to restore them. But there is no other way to find a per-
manent solution for the troubles that disturb us. His road is
the only road, It involves sacrifice. We cannot avoid the cross.
But beyond Calvary lies the realization of our hopes.

• “I was reading some of the letters

him all day,” began her husband.
“The last letter I read was the one
we got from him last year just before
Christmas, in which he told us how he
and Jane were planning- Christmas for
: the youngsters, and how he hoped that
another year he would be home with
jus. I sat here recalling the many
Christmases you and I had planned
for our children. Molly, do you re-

boys over for Christmas eve?” he ex-
(citedly continued, half rising from his
chair as the happy past came back to
his mind in jumbled snatches. “I can
see them now, the four boys and two
girls sitting around this very stove,
telling the Christmas stories which
they had learned in school. Then, how
their eyes bulged and their mouths
opened when Santa came into the
room. The children danced with glee,
but the girls were a bit timid. The
boys, however, were real chummy and
asked Santa many embarrassing ques-
tions about his trips.

showed a delicate pink flush.
“Well, well, Molly,” began her hus-

“Don’t, George, I know it’s foolish
for me to cry; but I wish we could

! “Molly, let’s have a tree and we will

(did long ago.”
- The next morning, the happy cou-
fple took a trip to the woods to choose
a tree. By the twenty-second of De-
cember, all the things were finished.
George found Molly sitting before the
fire looking very sober.
“Molly, why do you look so blue?
This is the time for everyone to be
happy.”
“I know it, but, George, I think our
fun is over. All our planning is done
and we have no one here to enjoy it.
No children’s voices to sing the lovely
Christmas songs. Oh, I shall miss it,”
she said sobbing.
“We still have three days in which
to find children. We ,are going to have
a Christmas just as we want it. I feel
as though this will be the happiest.”
The next night, they again were
cuddled in the big armchairs drawn
.before the stove. Both of them were
deep in thought, wondering and hop-
ing. Both of them started when the
telephone rang, breaking up their
thoughts. George answered and was
astonished when he heard a telegram
read to him. He hung up the receiver

threw his arms about her, picked her
up and carried her around.

These are Cardinal Virtues that we hold to from
each New Year to each Christmas, from each Christmas
to each New Year. They are responsible for the fact
that the year now drawing to a close has been the best
year we have had in the number of customers served.
We are indeed grateful to be able to say this, for, aside
from the financial standpoint, we get a world of satis-
faction out of knowing that the people of Whitewright
and community appreciate our earnest efforts to serve
them better than anyone else in the grocery business
can.
We have the standard brands of all products and
we shall help the multitudes to enjoy this Greatest Day

The next noon, George and Molly
were standing on the station platform,
[trembling with excitement. The by-

usual was happening for the old peo-
ple. Finally the train came.
