PASTORS ASSIGNED ? v J. T. l*eel?r Come# to Camden (N Pastor of Lyttleton fttreet Church Dillon, l)ec. 7,^-This has been u Veat day in UiUon. A great pro * m was executed by the Methodist I onft i? iue. At If ?. m. thf confer ence loye feast was held. This was conducted by the Rev. W. J. Herbert. Short testimonials kept the meeting ooing a* a ?vely rate Ma?y preach t Jrgf laymen, and lay women related stirring* experience. Kxnectation ran high at IE o'cIock, the hour announced for the sermon by Bishop Collins Denny. The .speaker announced that the ser mon would be an effort to answer the question: "Who is God?" Bishop Denny quoted three texts, as follows: "(Jod Is Spirit," "God Is Light," and ?God Is Love." j The preachev., proceeded to attack) and refute the soealled modern view that God U made in, the image of mati. 'You m?y determine any civi ( ligation by the idea of God inspiring jt," Emerson said, "Tell me what you like, and I will tell you what you are." "Tell me," said Bishop Denny, "and I will tell you what you are." The speaker, then took up the three nassages quoted as a text,,-and pro ceeded to analyse each. Nothing characteristic of matter can be ap plied to Gtfd, he said. This is tho negative aspect of God. Positively considered, spirit is necessarily char acterized by consciousness, he added. Bishop Denny devoted most of the sermon to the third statement, "God Is Love." Love is the desire to give <mt of our resources for the benefit of others, he said. Love is not ego istic; it is altruistic, real love de mands an object and a response. Love is a manifestation of character de termined by will. At the conclusion of the sermon the following ministers were ordain ed deacons: The Rev. M. G. Araut, the Rev. J. F. Campbell, the Rev. T. W Law, the Rev. L. W. Shelly, the Rev. R. T. Turner and the Rev. Summers. The following were ordained elders: the Rev. W. L. Par ker, the Rev. H. D. Shuler and the Rev.; Woodrow Ward.

HOUSTON CHRISTMAS GIVING ' AND ITS MEANING IV)S mo six," th? woman said ?>l?e crowded her way rude* . ly up to the handkerchief CO lit) tor. "Oil? has to buy something, i suppose, and I guess handkerchiefs take the least thought and considera tion." "Any particular pattern?" the clerk Inquired. "No, Just ho they coat no more than fifty cents each. What an awjul bore Christmas is, and what a -burden It thrown <>n us. I wonder sometime* what It's all fur." "It's a very sweet, happy time to t me," the ?lrl answered, | < There Is too much that la conven tional and artificial, perhups, in our Christina# Hiving. We burden our. selves with obligations Which *ve should never assume. We give too often because we feel thut we should do so, because we wonder what people will say if we do not, heritage we hope to receive something In return. We keep up the practice because we have not the courage or the diplomacy to break It, and we put little thought or personality into it. "Please do not send me anything a4 Christmas time," n friend wrote me, "for by so doing you would embarrass me and put me under obligation* which I can ill afford to meet." It was a sensible letter which few would, have had the courage to write. It is not what we give that really counts, but the spirit in which the giving Is done. The friendly, personal letter, the trifle which we have our selves made, even the card which we pick up at the book store, often brings more Joy than tho costliest present chosen without love or thought. Christinas Is a time of kindly thoughts, of forgiveness, of charity, and of good will to all men. There Is no other day on the calendar on which It would be so dreary to be away from home as Christmas day. The f>plrlt of Christinas is the splr't of self-sacrifice and of love. ? . . ' . The Wise Men bringing gifts to the Christ child enme n long way over a rough and weary road full of dangers and foil of discomfortsi but the gifts they brought were gifts of sacrifice and unselfishness and of love, and the impulse to bring them came from the hearth They are the wise men today who can give thankfully, gratefully, jovingiy, with joy in their hearts and without thought of what they nre to receive.?Thomas A. Clark, l>ean of Men, University of Illinois. ^ (?. 1924. Western N?wsp?p?r Union.) No Doubt ?What kind of u Christmas do .?on to hnve. srr. Snail? Snail?Very slow ! CHRISTMAS CARDS WILL BRWG CHEER *F9T HE>Y all adorned the mantel 11^ piece?the many Christmas cards. How gay they were. How much they helped In the way of making the room cheery and decorated for Christmas. Each one did its part to add. Yet many of those cards Tiad almost never come! So many of the senders had Ml ill "Oil. I don't believe I'll send theiu a card this Christ mas. We never see them any more." But then they added? "Still they irre friends and it would he nh-e to send them a Christinas wish." So all the cards had come. ,<S^i not one of them was In the way. Not one of them hut that brought its own cheer.?Mary Graham Bonner. ( 19'4, W->*tern Newspaper Union.) It Was Christ ma* Eve? There Was Great Joy ^FjrilK deep hush of night had fallen over the land and up above thou sand* of stara twinkled, seen* Ingly shining a little brighter than on uny other night of the year. From every window candles and lighted Christmas trees sent their shining rays out into the darkness, symbols' of the "I^ight of the World," who was [ to be born again next morning. Every where the spirit of the season mad? Itself felt and men and women thrilled with the message of love and peace and good will. Everybody seen.ed to be working feverishly t? make happiness for others, most of all to make the little ones happy, for was not He that was coming on the morrow even as one of them? In every heart there wa? added tender ness and love; In every home thers WM cheer and goodwill. For It was Cbtatmns Kve and the song of th? angels to welcome Hi* coming was re pestliW itself In the hearts of nte* women everywhere.?Katherin# Edelman. 44. l?a?.
