A WOMAN SPEAKS
Qh, softly. Sir; speak softly in this
v hour!
Vex not „with argument the Angel
song. «<■;
You smile? And nothing yield? There
.-■r^ 'is no song?'
No Virgin Mtother, Sir? No manger
bed T< ‘
I
Ah, ■ Sir, and can you then by taking
thought'
Measure the music of the nightingale,
Or weigh the perfume of the Sharon
Rose?
Nay, Sir; for song and fragrance are
of God.
And when you probe Into His mystery,
You penetrate the very heart of love.
And make of joy a quivering, broken
thing.
Name me no reasons, Sir. 1 am not
wise.
And nothing know of logic, save that
Love
Transcends all reason. If it please
you, Sir,
Lay down the glass of science for an
hour,
And touch your finger to the pulse of
God.
Ah, see the candle in the window
frame!
Look how it glows and beckons
through the gloom—
“Come in, come in, who lonely are and
poor!”
That tree of light upon the Winter
snow!
Each glistening bough, each tall,
aspiring flame
$>■.: Breathes “Courage, ye who bear the
weary load!”
Oh, every uaked tree-top is a harp
That swells the angel message
“Peace! Good-will!” '
And youth and age, the burdened and
the free,
iSfS-' Echo in unison, “Good-will and
Peace!”
Oh, is it nothing. Sir, that for a day
■ ’The gods of discord bow their angry
^ *; heads ?
And Is it nothing, Sir, that for an hour,
A moment, or the taking of a breath,
Envy and rancor falter in their stride
■' * And cower before the cradle of a
• Child?
Step nearer, Sir; ah, softly! See, He
sleeps!
Hose-white and radiant as the morn
■ 'Y' ing star!
The manger-bed at Bethlehem bolds
all V
Of Beauty. What is Beauty, Sir, but
God?

Union Semirciry
Teaches Modernism
The editor of The Palisadian in a
talk with a young minister who is a
student at the Union Theological Sem
inary asked him this direct question:
“Is the Union Theological Seminary
teaching modernism, or evolution, out
right?”
Hesitating a moment, the young
minister replied: "Yes, it is. But the
student body hears very little about it
and talks very little about it in its
dally intercourse. The subject merely
comes into the regular courses
through the classes.”
"Would this indicate that students
must believe in modernism whether
or no?”
“No; I do not think so. In my own
case my father is a fundamentalist,
my mother also, but not so much so
as formerly.”
“Do you think modernism as op
posed to the old Bible tenets should
be forced as a topic in community
churches where the large majority
sincerely believe in the Bible as it
stands?”
“No; I do not.”
“You know 1 think it almost cruel to
undertake to disillusionize those who
have faith enough in the Bible to live
their lives by its beliefs, especially
when the basis of the modernist faith
is no more based on fact than any
other theory unproven but merely
promulgated.
“I think you are right. But at that
the theory of modernism seems very
reasonable. But I would not question
any one’s right to believe as con
science dictates. Nor do I believe In
trying to disturb the faith of those
who choose to believe in the Bible.”
“Evacuation” Made
For Skating Rink
Skating fans of the neighborhood
hail with glee the news that the Ori:
tani Field Club will again open its
rink. The evacuation has been pre
pared for flooding, and the Hacken
sack fire brigade has promised to fill
the pond with water.
All will be in readiness for the win
ter sports within the next day or two.
Last season the Oritani Hnk attracted
hundreds of county skaters every day
that the weather was fine.—Hacken
sack Record.
This is Interesting news. But one
must naturally wonder how the Rec
ord’s sporting writer got the word
"evacuation” as associated with an
"excavation’’ to be flooded for a skat
ing pond. Perhaps this was a “cub”
reporter.
Community Christma^ Tree
.’ * 1 • 1.. * w—^
Cliffslde Park has been enjoying its
third community Christmas tree all
the past week, and this season,
through the efforts of Mrs. George
Hall, the specially large tree was se
cured. through the subscriptions of cit
izens of the borough, in addition to
the Woman’s Club contribution, and
was decorated with a host of new red,
white and blue lights.
It has stood, brilliantly lighted, in
its prominent position on the. high
school grounds, the center of the bor
ough, on view from four roads and the
trolley, again putting our borough on
the map as a progressive co-operating
community.
On Christmas Eve Professor Hall
and some boys summoned the people
by bugle calls around the streets to
the carol service outdoors, and a
group of citizens, including about for
ty of our coming citizens in the Amer
icanization class, with their teachers,
Mrs. Warren and Professor Bagley,
gathered around the tree and sang
Christmas carols, projected by Pro
fessor Hall’s stereopticon.on the sheet
hung by the tree.
The singing was led by Mrs. Hall,
Mrs. Manahan and Mrs. Reeve. A fea
ture of the service was the excellent
singing of "America the Beautiful” by
the Americanization class.
Breaks Record
All records were broken Sunday In
the send-out of gas by the gas depart
ment of Public Service Electric and
Gas Company when '85,990,000 cubic
teet were consumed. The next high
est record was made January 19, 1924,
when the gas send-out was 79,860.000
cubic feet. Although the send-out Sun
day made a record, had the day been
a week-day, when the industrial load
would have been added, the figures
would have approximated 90,000,000
cubic feet.
The average send-out for a day in
the whole system is about 70,000,000
cubic feet.
Caused Church Split
The fact that James Osgood An
drew. a bishop of the Methodist
church, was a slave owner brought
about a dispute in that church which
ended In the foundation of the Meth
odist Episcopal church In 1840.
Nucleus of Kingdom
Austurlas, from which the heir of
the Spanish throne has taken title
since 1388, was the nucleus of the
Spanish kingdom. It was founded
about 718 by Pelayo and united to
Leon In the Tenth centurv.
uiscovery of Famous Diary
The famous diary of Samuel Pepys,
English politician, who lived from 1023
to 1703, was not discovered until 1825,
when Lord Braybrooke found It In the
Pepysian library, Cambridge. It cov
ers the years 1060 to 1069.
Few Agricultural Works
In 1681, though there were tbon
sands of books in the library of the

were on agriculture, of which only •
few were In English.
