THE CALL OF CHRISTMAT
Inspiration of Time Should Bring Us
^Deeper 8en?e of Personal Re
sponsibility.
It Is Christmas time, and at this
moment the call Is to lift up our
hearts iuid welcome the Light of the
World, to rest for a while in the glory
of that light; not. indeed, forgetting
the lessons he would have us learn,
nor those great servant# of his who
taught us to know and love and work,
and have passed away; but In thank
fulness and adoration ooeldikf^o learn
more and more how he would have
us serve him. The Inspiration ot this
blessed time should bring us a deeper
ueQfte of personal responsibility, and
of our dttt?"to ear neighbor in regard
to questiona touching the general wel
fare; and, beyond all, a deeper faith?
that faith by which mountains can be
removed?and * truer love, a devotion
:ihat can hear even the reproach of the
cross. If pormlsHlon may but be grant

not for vis to question whether others

love, gentleness, meekness, sympathy

not. With this spirit of the season
reflected and perpetuated In the life,
Christmas giving will resolve Itself
Into Chrlst-llke giving every day from
Chrlstmastlde to Chrlstraaatlde of ev
ery year of grace. Christ came not to
be ministered unto, but to minister, to
suffer, and to die for other*, oven his
enemies. Rising far above the lower
aim of getting and gaining solely for
self, the grateful heart will lilt:
"Wh*t--can"i~gtre -to-my -Redeemer
who gave himself for me, Md what
can I do for others, for Ms sake, and
the gospel's ?" That is the reincarna

Waahlngtou.?The Ballinger<Plncbot
investigating committee, after eleven
moptbs of work, made IU final re
port to both houses of cougress. In
tbe opinion of seven llepublloan mem
bers, a majority of the committee,
Secretary tialllnger "honeatly and
faithfully performed the dutlea of bla
high office with an eye alngle to foe
public interest."
In the opinion of the four Demo
crats Mr. Ualllnger *haa not been true
to tbe truat reposed In him aa secre
tary, of the Interior and should be re-,
quested by tbe proper authorities to'
resign bis office."
Doth , reports, together with the In*
dependent report of Representative
Madison (Rep.), also adverse to Mr
Halllnger, were offered in the senate
RICHARD A. BALLINQER
Secretary of the Interior*
by Senator Nelson and in the house
by Representative, McCall. Their pre
sentation followed a meeting of the
full committee.
Tho reports were accepted in both
bouses without comment. Th* plan
of action to be followed by the Demo
crats has not been determined upon,
but it is understood a resolution will
be presented to carry out the recom
mendation made for the socretary'e
removal.
After stating that the evidence pre
sented related in the main to charges
of various kinds against Mr. Balllnger,
and that these came chiefly from two
sources ? L. K. Giavis and Gifford
Finchot ? the majority announced the
following conclusion:
"The evidence has wholly -failed to
make out a case. Neither any fact
proved nor all the facts put together
exhibit Mr. Ballinger as being any
thing but a competent and honorable
gentleman, honestly and faithfully
performing the duties of his high
office with an eye single to the public
Interest."

Tribute to Painter's Skill.
Otto of the still life paintings by
Jan van Huysen In the muieum at
The Hague was recently Injured, but
it ia believed the perpetrator was
neither vandal nor thfef.
The picture represents a basket of
fruit on which a number of Insects
have gathered. On a pale yellow ap
ple, which Is the centerpiece In the
duster of fruit, is a large fir, painted
so true to nature, so say the officials
of the gallery, that the canvas was
injured by some one who endeavored
to "shoo" It and brought his cane or
hand too close to the canvas. "A
tribute to the painter's genius," says
Ihe letter recording the fact, "for which
the work had to suffer."
