"He says he's a self-made man," ° "That's just like him--always taking the blame for everything." "What made you and your wife decide to spend Christmas with your relatives?" "The firm belief that if we didn't they would spend theirs with us." To Prosperity -- At any rate, brighten up the corner where you It always is the boaster's fate To prove his statements soon or --Old Mother Nature. ---- This is one reason that boasting is foolish, very foolish, Sooner or later a boast must be made good or you will be laughed at and made fun of. So, no matter what great things they may have done the truly wise do not boast. Runty, the little Possum, had been so admired by his brothers and sis- ters because of his adventures and his smartness in escaping from Far- mer Brown's Boy that it turned his head, as the saying is. That is, it made him feel that he had done big things and was smarter than his brothers and sisters. The more they admired him the more he wanted to be admired. And so he boasted of his own smartness and the things he had done and what he would dare do, which of course was very, very foolish. He boasted that he was ~~ afraid of Bowser the Hour. wp the Terrier or Far- mer L.own's Boy, which in a mea- sure was true. But this was more than his brothers and sisters could believe and they told him so. Be- cause they couldn't believe this they soon began to doubt the other things he had told them. They grew tired of his boasting and from being a sort of hero in their eyes he became just a boaster whose statements they didn't be- lieve, and they made fun of him behind his back and sometimes to his face. "Ah done gwine to Show them Some day Ah gwine to show them," Runty would say over and over to himself. At last the chance came. It was 'ate one afternoon. The whole fam- ily had started out extra early and had scattered more or less, but were not far apart. Now it happened that Flip the Terrier and Farmer Brown's Boy were taking a walk in the Green Forest that afternoon and, as he loved to do when his master would permit, Flip was rac- ing ahead, running this way and that to see what he might find. His master was not even in sight when Flip surprised the Possum family. Such a scurrying into trees as there was then! It just happened that Runty was the only one not near enough to a tree to escape that way. So he tried his old trick of playing dead. He just fell over on his side and pretended he was dead, Now Runty, in spite of his boast- ing, was a badly frightened young Possum. Somehow Flip here by himself in the Green Forest was a different person from Flip playing with him in Farmer Brown's door- vard with his master looking on. Runty wasn't at all sure that he was a friend now. He wished with all his might that he had been near enough to a tree to have climbed it. He forgot all about his boast that he was not afraid of Flip. He had hard work not to shiver and tremble when Flip began to smell him over. Then Flip's stump of a tail be- gan to wag. He had recognized unty. He lay down with Runty between his paws and nuzzled him with. his nose. And suddenly Runty knew that all was well. He knew that Flip wouldn't hurt him. He opened first one eye and then the other. He got to his feet and Flip's stump of a tail wagged faster than ever. Then Runty did--what do you think? He climbed on Flip's back and Flip began to race around and bark just as he used to do in Farmer Brown's yard when his master would put Runty on his ack. Now all this the other little Pos- sums saw from the trees where they had climbed to safety and they wanted to rub their eyes, for it was hard to believe what they saw. Runty had made good his boast. He certainly had. There he was riding on the back of that Dog they all feared so, and he actually scemed to 'be enjoying the ride Yes, indeed, Runty had made good his boast. He was showing .them.

O.C.V.1L | fHE BEST GIFTS FOR CHRISTMAS Many peoplc find difficulty in choosing Christmas presents for their family or friends, they search the toy shops or the trinket shops and buy something pretty or foolish cheap or costly, with a secret mis- giving. But there is one gift which, «f well chosen, never loses its gla- mour; which remains part of the very mind and spirit of those who read it. To give a book as a Christ- mas present to a young and impres- siopable mind--if it is a book with a human light in it--is to have some share in making the future and to give oneself a touch of immortality, ne is handing on a torch to the younger mind. The beauty, the spirit, the truth, between the cov- ers is passed to one of those who in a big or little way will write the next chapter of human history, -- Sir Philip Gibbs.

J §& I, Wilson, He followed it with, a short address to the chil- dien, explaining to them the meaning of the Christmas tree. The fact that Christmas Day cowes in the darkest time of the year Mr, Wilson compared to the reign of sin and wickedness which preceded the birth of Christ, and the tree, with all its brilliancy, he compared to the light that was shed on the world hy Christ. The evergreens of the free, he stated, represented the fact that Christ was a uving Sav- four 'Jesus is not only the ght of the world but also the fe." The fruits of the Christmas (ree, its lovely gifts, are signi- ficant of the gifts of Christ and Christmas is a giving time. This led up to the ceremony of the giving of each Sunday School Class, gilts which represent what man can give to Christ at Christ- mas time, Beautiful hymns, chosen for the occasion, were sung by the congregation and Miss Marion rendered a solo most appro- priate for the day, "Why do Bells at Christmas Ring?" "Why Do Little Children Bing?" to a theme accompaniment played by Reg- inald R. Geen, church organist, Musical Service The congregation, which filled to capacity Simcoe?" St. United anew design in COMMUNITY Oshawa's Main Corner Church on Sunday evening, listened with keen appreciation to the inspiring program ot Christmas music rendered by the choir under the efficient leader- ship of Mr. R. G. Geen. Seldom has such fine music so artistically and reverently sung, been heard in the church and the congrega- tion may justly feel proud of both cheir leader and organist, Rev. E. Harston delivered a trief but telling message on the effect of Christ's coming on world conditions at the time of his and now. gh music included the follow- ing selections: "Organ Prelude--Angels O'er Bethlehem's Fields (Wolf-Fer- rari).

C. BE. Cragg. The whole service was of a most impréssive nature with special music appropriate to the season being presented by the church choir which was assisted by the junior choir and orchestra under the direction of Leonard M. Richer. A feature of the musi- cal part of the service was a vocal trio "The Road to Happiness" by members of the junior choir. Taking as his message to the congregation, "The Star in the East", Rev. Mr. Cragg stressed the fact that God had revealed Him- self in a most appropriate manner through the star which led the wise men to the place where Je- sus lay. Even though astronomers stated that it was improbable that, such a star existed, Mr. Cragg as- gserted that it was within God's power to produce it. At the same time a consideration of the dis- tance of some of the stars from the earth and the length of time required for their light to reach the earth gives the human race an Idea of the vastness of the uni- verse, so that we feel very insige- nificant The human race, how- ever, have the advantage of having a mind, Mr, Cragg stated, the only human race that we have any knowledge of on any other planet. Rev. Mr. Cragg stated that there was no delusion about God. as He certainly would reign in glory forever, but insisted that if the world is to be converted, it must be by the use of the gifts that God has endowed upon the human race. We can all do some- thing and our best in our own way. ST, ANDREW'S UNITED CHURCH The services in "St. Andrew's United Church on Sunday will long be remembered by the large congregations of worshippers pre- sent both morning and evening. Both services were -in accordance with the spirit of Christmas, and were beautiful in the extreme.

Young, superintendent of the Sunday school, assisted by the Rev, I. J. Maxwell in conducting this service, in which a large num- ber of the young folks of the school played a prominent part. As the representatives of each class and group brought forward their gifts, appropriate recitations were given by the children all touching upon the Christmas theme. Mr, Maxwell, in the course of the service, told the beautiful story of the first Christmas: tree, which fitted in admirably with the service. Special music was the outstand- ing feature of the morning serv- ice, with the choir rendering se- lections from Handel's Messiah, The three choruses, "And the Glory of the Lord", "Glory to God", and the wonderful "Halle- lujah Chorus" were sung with splendid effect, The aria and cho- rus, "O Thou that Tellest", with Mrs. J, Reid as soloist, and the recitative selections, 'There were Shepherds", "Ang the Angel Said Unto Them", "And suddenly there was with the Angel", with Mrs. Grant Berry as soloist, were splen- didly done, and greatly thrilled the large congregation which was resent.

Maxwetl spoke on the subject "The Welcome Guest", {and delivered a special message in keeping with th season. ---------------- HOLY TRINITY ANGLICAN CHURCH A shortened evensong at Holy Trinity Church last evening was followed by a programme of Christmas carol singing, and solo numbers by members of the choir.
