The lawyer has exactly one chance tn five. The doctor's chances are one In seven. It In ten to one against the manufacturer. The modern minister, however, who formerly ranked with the doctor and lawyer as a member of the "learned professions," has fallen hopebehind.

A worker In a silk mill, a laborer In a rubber plant, a paper maker, a workIn a shoe factory — all are getting higher average wages, the survey shows, than does America's minister, city or country.

found In the Roman mass, 8Dd tn the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer. It Is ascribed to Telesphorua, bishop of * Rome, about the year A D. 139, and ^ Is common In both the eastern and 8 western churches ® j An old English carol begins with the 8 lotable words : Behold a simple, tender babe in freezing winter night, * In homely manger trembling Ilea, t Alae. a piteous eight. c The "higher critics" have wondered , how the shepherds could watch their j docks by ulgbt. even In winter In j Judea. but this presented no difficulty , to Robert Southwell, the author of this quaint carol, who as a Jesuit was tm- , prisoned In the Tower of London, and, after enduring the tortures of the rack. , was executed In 1594. , A popular carol among the Germans | Is one written by Martin Luther for his little son Hans. It begins: Prom th« highest heaven I oome to tall Th# gladdest news which e'er befelL A very sad story Is told In connec•lon with this carol. !n order to give It realistic effect in a certain Lutheran church It used to be sung by a boy let down from the rpot of the church dressed as an angel. But one day the rope broke, and the boy was killed. This put an end to a very beautiful but langerous ChrlstmaB custom. At a time when the liturgical and j ilbllcal plays were popular the I Christmas carol was an important g feature. In Italy In the time of St. Francis of Assist. In order to Instruct the people, the villagers came to the church carrying lighted torches, and _ I there they saw the scene of the man- f * ■ ger filled with hay, and me ox and ass 1 I standing In their places near the c Virgin and Child. Then It wa* that ( ! St. Francis and his friars st- -1 by the , j manger all night long, giving God thanks that by this means the hearts of the people had been touched. 1 I "Rare old Ben Jonson,"(ln the days - 1 I of the "Good Queen Bess," wrote a carol which begins "I sing the Blrtb , was born tonight."

He waa born In Manchester In 1681. The two eminent sweet singers of the cbnrch, John Keble and Reginald Beber, bishop of Calcutta, have written Christmas hymns, but they lack I those elements of popular song which constitute the Christmas carol.
