The men were called out to work that day as on other days, hut tlw newcomers declared it against tlieii consciences to work on Christmas day The governor left thetu and led nwa> the rest of the workers.

All Have Desire to Make Fellcv/mcn Happy by Gift or V/arcis of Greeting. i NEITIil'Il hatred, nor envv. nor do ceif. non all the legions <>f ugly human passions tliat assail the heart nor rancor between*individuals, nor national tost for power, can extinguish it. They may dim hut they can not quench (lie spark in the heart of man which impels lain, as every wan- , in? year brings the Christmas, to try to make a few of his fellowmen a little happier. Often it Is by the method of the gift, perhaps something that costs hundreds of dollars, maybe only a penny card hearing an inscription of good cheer. Frequently it is something intangible, the wJiole-Potiled word of greeting to the old lady in a shawl who sell:* you your paper, or the sinilv of comradeship which you give the conductor \vly> punches your ticket, or the1 elevator man who takes you up to your oflioe (fellow workersall). It Is not giving that counts, not the bestowal of something valued in dollars and cents, the trnnsference'of something from your hand to another's. That is a purely mechanical process, which may or may not create happiness. No; it is the longing to give, the desire to be tire cause of : another's happiness. To wish to help others is the oldest i passion In the world?even a little older than the Impulse to overcome others. And it is the deathless passion as well. It needs no Christmas day to keep it alight, hut as long as Christinas continues to provide fuel to make the flame of good fellow drp burn brighter, that day will continue to be the richest 21 hours in all the year. THE FIRST CHRISTMAS Birth ot the Christ Child Announced by Angel.* Good Tidings of Great Joy to All the People in Coming of the Savior. Nt OW it caine to pass in those days, there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that al! the world .should he enrolled. This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to enroll themselves, every one to his own city. And Joseph also went Up from lialllee. out of the city of Nazareth into Judaea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because lie was ol' ihe house and family of I>avid. to enroll himself with Mary, who was be trot bed to him. being great with child. And it came to pass, while they were there, the dnv? \vp-e fulfilled that she should be delivered. A: ' -h?- 1 :.??t forth her first-born son; aid she wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was not rootu for them in the inn. And there were shepherds in the wime country abiding iu the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock. And an angel of the Lord stood l>y theiu, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them. Be no; afraid; for, heboid 1 bring you good tidings of greut joy which shall be to all the people: lor there Is born to you this day In the city of David a Suvior, who is Christ the Lord. And this is the sigu unto you: Ye shall find a bnl#* wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying iu a man2* r.
