It is justly remarked that a good crop can not come from poor seed. Second-rate seeds will waste good land, good fertilizer, and good labor. Among the trustworthy and successful seed-growers is the firm of D. M. Ferry & Co., of Detroit, who advertise with us as usual, this season. They have, they state, sold seed all over the United States and Canada for the last forty-two years, "and the steady growth of the business is a sure indication that Ferry seeds have given satisfaction." Ferry's Seed Annual for 1898, a standard guide for farmers and gardeners, containing much valuable information, is sent free to persons writing for it.

SILENCE is a necessity to man in all his attempts to approach the Divine Being in solemn spiritual worship; not only the body but also the mind must be silenced, according to that saying of the prophet, "Be still, and know that I am God." ELIAS HICKS.

From an exercise in preparative meeting, and recorded in his Journal.

LET THERE BE LIGHT.

WHEN Gutenberg, one of the fathers of printing from movable types, took his first proof from the press, it is said to have contained the fiat of the Creator-"Let there be Light! Whether it be true or simply a fanciful legend, the expression is a most striking one and marvelously prophetic.

'Let there be Light." Jehovah spake,
And through the realm of chaos brake
A bright, a glorious ray,

The startled shades of darkness fled,
As wide and wider still it spread,

Till all around was day.

"Let there be light.". From pole to pole
Still let the glorious message roll,

Armed with a power divine,
Till errors cease and sin be slain,
And in all hearts the Christ shall reign
Where'er the sun does shine.

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT. Read before Swarthmore College students, First month 9, 1898, by Dean Elizabeth Powell Bond.

We are yet in the glow of Christmas joys. Days of work, and hours of pleasure, and anxious cares have not yet had time to dim the brightness of the happy festival. Close about us are the beautiful signs of hearts' loves that at Christmas time express themselves in the uncounted ways that fingers and forethought know. Our eyes delight themselves in a wished-for picture, or treasured book—it may be in the simplest written word of affectionate remembrance, and the day is brightened. And then there is the other delight— not in what has come to us—but in what it has been in our power to put into other lives. This is a blessed part of the Christmas glow. Do we need to move on and away from the Christmas glow that we yet feel in our hearts ? How would it be with us if we cherished it every day of the year? It would not be required that every day should be marked in the calendar, by exchange of outward gifts, but that which endures of any gift-that which fire cannot burn nor "moths corrupt,"-how we might pour out upon each other of the blessed spirit of gift-giving for solace and encouragement! If the Christmas spirit could look out of our eyes upon each other as we pass upon halls or streets, all the months that stretch from Christmas

to Christmas, how our burdens would be made light, how the hard things in life would be eased! If the Christmas spirit that has guided our fingers in taking beauty, and chosing the fit thing for the beloved one. dainty stitches, and deftly shaping things of use and could possess our hands till Christmas day came round again, would they ever be raised to place hindering things in each other's way! When the Christmas glow has gone out of the day, how we hurt each other with thoughtless word and thoughtless deed! O, can we not keep it to make the cheer and gladness which is the best atmosphere for souls to grow in! It is not work that makes the young grow old, and the elders falter by the way; we were made for work, as the trees and the stars are, as God himself is; it is more often the worry that we needlessly and thoughtlessly thrust into each others' lives.

With the Christmas gift-giving we have learned again the story of the babe in the manger, and the life given for the uplifting of men. It is true that the babe in the manger, the unconscious little one, accepted the adoration of men-the wise men brought their gifts of gold, and frankincense, and myrrh, and fell down and worshipped him. But when he came to manhood, after those years in which it is recorded that he was subject to his father and mother, when the few disciples gathered about him for instructions concerning the work he was sending them out to do, did he seek then for adoration? Did he command them: "Go now into every city, and see to it that a shining temple is builded for my glorification. and precious stones shall be its adornment. choirs shall sing my praises, and chant in adoration of the wonderful works that I do!" How different his

message to the disciples: "Heal the sick, cleanse the No thought lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils." or word about himself,—every thought and word for the suffering and needy about him. After the lapse o. centuries, can we believe that this Kingly Soul cares any more than in those far-away days, for adoration of himself. During this Christmas week, cathedrals have rung with his praises, and great congregations have sung of the Messiah. I believe this adoration never reaches his ear. That which touches his soul is the service that we render to each other. The dressing of a doll for a college settlement child; the kindly remembrance to one easily forgotten; the expression of love for our dearest ones; the thoughtfulness that checks disturbing noise; that consideration for others that saves the scraps of paper for the wastebasket instead of scattering them over the floor; the beautiful courtesy that "loves itself last" doubt that these are the things to make the Christmas anthem that can give joy even in the heights of Heaven, and gladden the heart of the Divine!
