Opin ions vary, but one contribution at least deserves attention.' Tt is from a distinguished physician, lyho holds that' men are better and bigger liars tpau women, and goes Into explana tory details. A \tt'ornan he says, for the most part, lies merely to get herself out of an’‘embarrassing situation. Her lies, therefore, arc unprmeditated aiid imperfect.

T h e y followed a star, inquiring the while: ‘■'Where is ht that is IBOKH king?” But how y/as Augystus to know how little'of king' lie was? Antj was he to know, as he sat in hi gorgeous paface, that day Jesus war born, that heralds of heaven were ac claiming the One 'wh.qse nnme 'shoul be above every name'and firhose reign vmuld know no end? The J^vs did not^ even know_ that, except a few of •them. Their Messianic hope did not reaqji to Nazareth. Ho who was to redeem Israel would not hp,il from so lowly a-mace: “Th^y all were looking for a king To slay their foes and lift them bigh: ^hou cam’st a little baby thing That made a woman ’cry.” How was Augustus to know that this IBabe’s mild dominion would pre vail when emperors would be among “the vanished pomps of yesterday?\ Little did be dream tbat, if any one in years to come,, took the trouble to look Tip Ixis nam e, it -would be' only because.be w a s a m inor character in that earthly drama in which Christ ■revealed God’s love. Would you h’ave thought Augustus king had you seen him on his throne? \Well his people did. They had, and then they heightened, his delusion.' “Glory to Caeser in, Rome,” sang the populace in Caescr’s ears, “Glory to God in the highest heaven,” sang the angels in the ears o the iuimble shepherd folic. “Glory to Caeser in Rome,” sang the Roman legions, terrible in conflict, m a rching on to triumiihs new. “Glory to, Go^ in -the highest heavqp,” sang the an gelic legions, and their song was the song- :of peace. Rom e honors the ),|iing in the palaqe-, I-Teaven honors the I^ng in the stall. And the song of Rome has died, but the song of the angels -lives.

They stiir’loye the ch ief’seats in the synagogues. On many u lip 1*} many a heart, the Caeser songs' are alive. . ■ H oav Cristmas comes to smite all such ' songs, hip and thigh- And more.
