sured that their donations are mak
ing some lonesome soldier a little

The boarders at Mrs. Wikers at
Christmas night supper were startled
at a series of blood-curdling howls
just outside the window. One lady
said she was sure some dog was
hurt, another that two canines were
fighting. In fact, all were much ex
cited until one of the young men
rushed out to see what r ally was the
excitement. It was a dog alright
enough, caught by one hind leg, as
he tried to clear the fence, and sus
pended in mid-air. The dorr being
freed from his painful position gave
the young men a regular grin,
wagged his tail and went on his way
rejoicing. The members around the
festive board being told of the dog's
trouble, were quite relieved and con
tinued their meal unmolested.

Text:l John 2:15, Love not the
world, neither the things that are in
the world.
There was much rejoicing when
the churcv treasurer made a report
thai all Mils aga!nst the church and
all current expenses had been paid.
Another year should find it easier to
finance the church than the past. We
should consider our giving on a spir
itual basis. There are several things
that should command our considera
tion. Is our giving a part of our wor
ship? The Christian ideal is to give j
self flrBt. Committing one's entire
bela into the hands of God every,
Bervice becomes a spiritual service.
There Is rejoicing in fellowship. :
Fault-finders and whinerB are not
found in this class.
As In the Jerusalem church, "not
one of them said that aught of the
things which he possessed was his
OWB1 so may it be with us. Our giv- 1
ing will be cheerfully, generously I
and prayerfully. What more beauti
ful this Christmas than to pledge
these, our white gifts, to Christ, our
King?
Robert E. Speer says. "The Gospel
ought to lead and enable men to do
more than pagans and Jews."
Pagans even in their"darkened con
dition will make the greatest sacri
fices to the gods. Jews gave, besides
the Tithe, many offerings. With the
light and the blesisngs of the Gospel,
how much more ought we to do than
these?
What is the least portion that a
man should give? Surely not less
than one-tenth. It is fair to all.
The man with the small Income
should give his title which would be
little and the man with a large in
come should give his tithe which
would ce more. Some can even give
more than a tithe. Why is a tenth
the smallest amount that one should
give? First, It iB a principle as old
as the human race. Second, it rec
ognizes God In all our giving It
makes man dependant upon God by
helping him to believe God's word
and rely upon his promises. Third,
the tithe is the basis of proportion
ate giving. This, perhaps, is the por
tion suggested by the Apostle Paul
in 1 Cor. 16:2.
The motive for the tithe is to reach
men to put God and the Kingdom
first. We would plan and pray about
our gifts. Instead of giving what
comes handy, and this is usually the
crumbs, we would remember God
with the fat of the increase. We
would not teach our children that
the church is supported on I penny
basis. One Sunday while visiting I
gave my .little boy a nickel for Sun
day school. His teacher gave him
back 4 cents in change. That
church showed that it had practiced
penny offerings, for they were always
having a large deficit at the end of
the year.
The results of tithing on the
tither and the church are far-reaching.
The tither experiences real joy
in giving. His giving is an act of
worship. He magnifies God and his
promises. The church is a more
spiritual church and always has
money in its treasury. Worldliness
is out and righteousness; is in.
"Love not the wcrld, neither the
things that are in the world."
Cupid Hani at Work in Alliance
Judge Tash has been so busy mak

Christian Church,
The minister will preach from the
following subjeetB next Lord's day,
morning and evening: "Looking
Ahead" and "The Church in Jerusa
lem." The white Christmas pro
gram last Sunday evening drew a
large audie nce. It was a sacred pro
gram and the fitting climax was when
three gave themselves as tfc lr "White
gift" to the Lord. The minister and
wife appreciate the splendid way in
which many of the members and
friends remembered us on Christmas.

Goods will be sold at one-half, one-third and one
fourth of regular value, at prices that will insure
the sale of the merchandise, and turn it into cash.
Real, bona-fide sales are few and far between, but when one does occur, you will find the
most wonderful kind of bargains bargains of so many kinds and prices so startlingly low
and out of proportion, that one is fairly bewildered. This is so because when merchants real
ize that in order to completely closeout they must make prices so unreasonably attractive that
people buy, not because they need the goods so much, justnow, but because they cannot re
sist the bargains. You will find this condition here. We are making prices that should
cause you to buy your family needs for a year to come.
This Stock consists of a full line of Groceries, a complete line of Shoes, consisting mostly of
the Famous Kirkendall line; Dry Goods, Notions, Mackinaws, Sweaters, Etc. A full line of
