"A day realized that he had reached the age when he must think for rime and make decisions. Without false ideas of independence, we went back to know how to work with the things his parents thought best, but he began that day to live his own life to make life for his family on the world that he was not ambitious to be rich or famous. He would not fight, and he hated meanness, cruelty, insatiability and hypocrisy. When he grew to manhood he healed the sick people, comforted the sorrowing. pitted those who did wrong, divided his food with the hungry, strengthened the weak, and made friends with little children. He loved the sea and boats, the hills and fields, flowers and birds. He was brave in danger, then persecuted, heroic in temptation, and lustful and loveish that millions of people who never saw him love him and would lay down their lives for him. He never was poor and almost friendless, and yet we celebrate his birthday throughout the world; we date our letters from the people who founded on his book, we offer in our congress and parliament prayers in printed in more than five hundred languages, kings and emperors, presidents, scholars, peasants and slaves declare this to be the greatest of all books.

The finding of a bloody hatchet and a pistol in Glover's room and his criminal record add weight to that finding. The police have arrested the right man this time. It is also pointed out that while Glover was in prison on another day, he was not arrested, no axes murdered in Birmingham. The police declare that so many fruitscents of Negroes have been killed in the past that no one who are skeptical of Glover's connection with the crimes which, besides the twenty-four killed, have inculped that the man has been injured. "If we have the right man now, we think we are going to be able to place the responsibility for killing Jack," declared Solicitor James Davis.

I was assigned the district east of the Fair Grounds for four days, dur ing which I subscribed for $215.00, however, the people only subscribed $2.00 each, during my whole work east of the Fair Grounds and subscribed $5.00 and in Oak Cliff I was to get an individual to subscribe $5.00, the $14.00 was given in two dollar bills and to acquaint the people, in these tuberculosis work while going from house to house.

A few weeks ago we learned of the initial meeting of The Brotherhood of Negro Builders Mechanics, at the University of North Carolina, the provement of their lot and the better service of the public. Last week we argued against prominently displayed placards, placed in every hallway, and advocated for the petition and setting forth the fact that they stand for efficient service and on the strength of their own power, and that they are not age of the group. This course commends itself to all students and at the same time gives progress and consistent improvement. It increases the respect of the public for the leaders and at the same time gives students the opportunity to please. The Express commends this new realization of the belief that the public will seem be drawn to a greater realization of the need of giving to those unaware of it. Like all of us they are striving to improve. If they do not get our patronage to whom CHRISTMAS. CHRISTMAS. Agrain do all men turn to that sweetest story in the world and think of that matchless gift to human kind. The Wellspring of Our Joy! The source of all our comfort! The All Perfect Being from whom on earth have come the urgles to that is pure To the Babe of Bethlehem and his ministry among men is due the stiving, though faint, of all men for better things. Their philanthropy, their charity, their attempts at excellent service to their fellows, their consideration for those lower down, their professions of a hope for better life to come—all these and the excellent institutions which now exist for promoting these things are due to the men who, heralded by the Star in the East, was by the men who cared. And at this time we all can well afford to think, amid whatever conditions surround us, of Him and again consecrate ourselves to the bringing into being of a better world and a better day. Gifts are but the expression of our regard to those about us and in their giving there is often much of that which is sordid and selfish. Christmas is a time for empty show and foolish excesses is but a day abused. But the real Christmas, with the spirit of the Christ manifest must be a day when each individual for himself will realize the meaning of Christmas which is his by reason of the birth of Him who declared that he who would be greatest among you, let him be your minister." And in this spirit let each one, humbly, thankfully, cheerfully, face the day with its pleasures or its adventures, secure in the knowledge that there once was One who, given to man on this day, bore in His own body the pains which atone for the iniquity of us all. Filled with this spirit, there will be no hate, no envy, no hidden reservations, but in each Every Christmas that falls from the heart will be vibrant, hearty, bit of soul expressed which will find an answering echo in every other heart. And sunshine will abound and the joy of all will be unmeasurable. THE RESTORED SOUTHERN REPRESENTATION. In the Munsey Bulding last week a few of the leading figures of the Republican party gathered with a few of our political leaders debated Southern representation to the National Convention and reached a decision to restore those delegates which a former decision had cut off. In helping to bring this decision into being Roscoe Simmons, Perry Howard, Henry Lincoln Johnson, and George Cannon made history. Ever since the decision by the Executive representation of certain Southern States in the National Convention, was made public, these principles impressed it as unfair and foreign to the expressed principles of the party. In season and out of season they have proclaimed their unequivocal objection to it and at last, on the even of the campaign, their agitation has borne fruit. The decision was another case of pondering to Lily Whitism by reducing the opportunity of Negro Republicans to express themselves by being included n party councils. As expressed by Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson "it permitted the South in violation of the Constitution to disfranchise Negro voters and take their disfranchisement as an excuse to reduce the strength of race voters in nominating a Republican president." But the petition to restore the voting strength of the South, presented by Senator Pepper and agreed so successfully by our representatives gives to Negro voters South another opportunity to speak, in full measure to be heard in the deliberations of the party. The result is gratifying in the extreme and should be viewed, we believe, as a bit of constructive work by these leaders, whom we formerly remembered as leading lights of "The Lincoln League." They have shown by this action at least that the voting status of our brothers in the North will be weak and work fairly toward the salvation of us whose power is not yet well developed. They deserve credit for this accomplishment. It is ours now to bestir ourselves in order that in some way we may declare ourselves. We whitman, our ancient enemy, is powerful but not all powerful. It never has and never should be acknowledged as the true Republican Party in Texas or any other Southern State. The unfortunate outcome if the last campaign should not deter us from again entering the lists and asserting our right to be heard. The restoration of delegates by the decision of the sub-committee last week gives as much attitude for contested elections as any other state. We must strengthen our strength, bearing in mind that the G, O, P, stands in sore need of the whole-hearted support of states like Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, New York and New Jersey, we may forever be willing to read out of the party and accept weekly the ostracism from political recognition that is sure to come. The committee will all of possibilities for good to us. The committee of thousands of our voters to pivotal states gives us a weapon that may be used with telling effect. These states have already declared themselves. Already the G. O. P. realized in the days of 1924, it must "beware the Let us, in sore need of the assistance which this situation can bring, not overestimate opportunity for improving our con- tents, but it is particularly important that we are present.

She would run and he would approach close and then stop until a miscalculation of distance—a failure of the air to work as quickly as he thought—and he had sent her soul to its Maker. Fun!

Edwards for the Associated Negro Press) LESSON OF FOOTBALL The fact that a gathering variously estimated at from 20,000 to 28,000 people assembled at a baseball park in Philadelphia on Thanksgiving Day to see two football teams battle for the Negro championship of the East is significant of the continued progress of the race towards American standards in sports, as well as in more serious presents. One modern American novelist made his football playing define the game as follows: "It's a kind of education that America has worked out for herself unconsciously. I believe the American college graduate dreams of playing to amuse himself. He'd scorn to. He plays to win. That's the American college graduate dreams of playing to amuse himself in you to do what you set out to do—no lackadaisic diletantism—your whole heart in it. That's the way for men to live." Having endeavored to show the importance given to football as a sport, the college team may add that the two colored college teams proved their absorption of the game. Whether the thousands who witnessed the game appreciated its significance as a means of disciplinary training in college, in fact.

Even the best cared-for complexion shows a bit of heat the first day that the thermometer drops below zero. Usually it appears a bit rough, occasionally it seems too dry, and often the slightest exposure will make the cheeks a brilliant hue and never a particle becoming. The alleviation for this list of woes consists in a very simple process and that is the use of the proper cosmetics in the proper manner.

Neither cold creams nor vanishing creams are applicable for winter use, as they contain too much water to be free from the stagnation of nourishing and protecting the surface.

The affect of germs on animals, affecting chiefly the muscles of the jaw and neck and usually spreads to the trunk. In some places or institutions the disease may epidemically. It may be some authorities the disease may be epidemically among and new children. The germ is seen the disease is one that best thrives with the absence of owen. They are found in fertilizers of some animals especially is this true of the horse. The germ is found in fertilizers of manure, petrifying liquids, in rubbish, dust of the streets and houses. Also the germ is found in manufacture shells. The disease is most apt to follow punctured and contused wounds, a stole wound or by sticking a nail in the foot, or a gun shot wound or contused wounds. More likely have the infection than females partly due to his occupation or being in contact with infection. Although more cases are found in the hotter months of the year, I recently saw a case of a child who developed from a wound that was received in a fight. The young man man was stabbed in the neck and that was treated by physician of the emergency and city hospitals. With proper disfection of the wound, when first receiving treatment, the child has been living to day, but he developed lockjaw and died. In my colony this young man is occupying a room in the hospital and a physician of his own race the There was a meeting of the delegates at one of the meetings, and I believe me, when I tell you at this meeting there were many. At the preliminary meeting, the delegates met with William Decker Johnson to oppose William Decker Johnson to oppose, and Reed McDade to oppose. I also went into all the details, for that is not easy, but I say, that the first thing after getting organized was to pass a resolution of confidence, and that for the confidence expressed in Proof Jackson, the commissioner of education, an assistant commissioner, the next general conference. The whole church will be behind this request and there is no question about it. Two of the candidates said that they were unwilling to submit their cases to the who, delegates to the who, which would be behind them, and in this number was the Rev. N. Sims, of Port World Financial, who will be given financial secretary, and he will be again given financial secretary, and he will be called a beak for a dog run after the Texas Special, or the Sunshine Special, or the Sunshine Special, or the Sunshine Special, or if Dr. Hill will go before the church, he will get one vote and he is entitled to the vote. Hawkins has given his church a clean administration, accounting for every cent of its money, for which Prof. Hawkins has given his church Then came another resolution and a wise one at that, and it was in appreciation of Johnson, for the position of secretary for the tension, and all voted for this and none against it. It was a solid vote, and believe me, we will be the believers you will be the leaders and they have served notice that any program without S. J. Johnson will not be considered by them. I have heard you talk so much about what we have talked so much about him until now I believe you know his name by heart, and will be able to write it in the book. We are to be side by side with Prof. John R. Hawkins in Washington, D. C. We are to be side by side. Out. There are two strong men, and I want that you shall know Dr. S. J. Johnson, and his wife, Mrs. Lillian Johnson, saying nothing about Conson. Then followed the man for the episcopal honors. Each man aspiring to the priesthood would vote for his church, why the men should vote for him. Then they went to halting, and George, Young, and Texas, Texas, now all of Texas will get behind him. He was placed as a Bishop in the church. He is a college graduate, and a fine young man, and I think if elected he would be like to see him on the bench. The most popular men in the general church are News, S. Butler and William S. O chances are he would have been living. The symptoms are mild in the older person, a rule the disease has a good hold on the person before a doctor is called. The patient complains of stiffness and tension in the neck, the neck is swollen and the neck, later spasm of other muscles renders the muscles of other muscles immovable and locks the neck. The neck is grin on the face, the muscles of the stomach are hard and broad-like. As the condition progresses convulsions occur and the heart rate is most agonizing suffering, shortness of breath, and cyanosis. The bowels are usually constricted and the amount of fever. If the paralysis affects the heart centers of the body the temperature may go up. If the paralysis affects the symptoms are not so progressive. The mortality is 85 per cent. The disease is one that very fatal and can cause trifle injuries. It makes no matter how small an injury is it should receive the proper treatment from a doctor. People ought to realize that they can't get proper treatment purely because of the wound, whenever there is a wound. During the holidays when there is a wound, wounds produced from same should be properly treated. If you stick a nail in your foot the wound should be treated. Measurements measures should be taken as a preventive measure against the disease. After the disease has developed a anti-toxin serum should be given, this treatment should be given by a doctor or a surgeon. In all wounds the watch word will rally to Dr. Young. There were others, but here I must pause and, here I must speak unto you about other things. I have so often said unto you, one by one we are stepping out, and this time we are stepping out to Phil Brown our representative in the United States Labor Department, has paid the debt that we all must pay. You have read about it ere this, and has paid the debt that we all must pay. Then next, the news said that Mrs. Katerine D. Tillman, who was editor of the Women's Missionary Review, has crossed into the Great Depression over forty years ago we attended the conference in Louville, Ky. Side up, it is not his fault, it is it not his fault, it is not his fault, that she was passing this way, and generations yet not in the world will know that she passed this way, and, here it is, thousands of girls as they come along seeking to know something of those who lived in this age and what they Information comes to me that Mrs. P. Erlyne Oborne, of Kansas City, MN, embarked on a mission to successor, and this is a good choice. I wonder if you are acquainted with this character who has just made a change in it and it will not be long before the other part will know it for it is just working her way to the top of the mountain from an extended trip East, where she took on some additional information and training, and then she made a decision. One day she knocked at the door of the White House in Washington, and extended all kinds of courtesies. She was a assistant of the Worthington Missionary Recorder, and she was received by President Coolidge, and extended all kinds of courtesies. She was a wonderful ladied woman. The selection brought the President to his feet, and he acknowledged that she was a wonderful lady named woman. The selection brought the President to her. She recited in New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, and right now she is at the University of Chicago to join Bishop and Mrs. John Hurst this winter in Florida, and I am sure that the people of Florida will be delighted.

BROWN The Story of Xmas [Illustration of Santa Claus with a large beard and a fur coat, surrounded by animal figures in the corners]. Our Christmas Thoughts F HUMAN NATURE is the combination of self-seeking, ambition and greed which some materialistic philosophers assert it is; if life is a contest in which all finer sentiments are subordinated to self-adventure and success at any price, how is it that the spirit of Christmas has not only endured but grown in power during nearly 2,000 years? If the pessimists are right, it would seem that the light would have been extinguished before and with it the spirit would have departed. Were history and our daily lives not repute with evidences—noble evidences too—of the unselfishness in men's hearts, we might be impressed with the teachings of the sordid and the carpings of the morbid. Christmas is the symbol and a celebration of love—love which is synonymous with charity and which our purest teaching tells us is the finest attribute of the soul. We, who during the past few weeks have watched the Yuletide preparations, are prepared to say that they represent a beautiful manifestation of that attribute. We have noted the working girl taking home at night her parcels; contributions wrung from the dole of her necessities, in order that she may testify to her love and bring a measure of cheer to some child, some relative, some friend: Tired from her daily toil mayhap, but in her eyes that something which transcends all fatigue; transcends, in fact, everything else in the world and comparable only to that which shone from a mother's eyes upon the Babe in Bethlehem. Friends, in the face of these and so many other manifestations which we are all witnessing during this season, what right has one of us to say that the Light of the World grows dimmer? Our hearts tell us there is no dimming. Let us be thankful for the extra radiance of Christmas. Let us seek to carry it into our daily lives. Our wish is, that this occasion, at least, will help all of us to forget our tributions and sorrows, our complaints and animosities, and that it will be to all a day of cheer and everything which Yule-tide typifies. The words of Tiny Tim have never been improved upon and we here invoke them: "God bless us all!" CHRISTMAS, kris-mas, the day celebrated in all Christian countries of the world, is the day of Christ the "Prince of Peace," the "King of Kings." That day, by common consent December 25, serves the many churches, by charitable deeds, the exchange of gifts, and by merry mankind. The day, as longfellow wrote, that we hear Christmas bells— The old familiar carol plays, And wild and sweet The words repeat To music on earth, good-will to mourn The time when the Christmas festival was first observed is not definitely known. It is spoken of in the beginning of the third century by elemental Germans, who speak of it in the latter part of the fourth century as a custom of long standing. Other dates were often recorded. Our I F HUH ambitio phers sentin cess a has no 2,000 years? If t would have been have departed. Were history noble evidences to be impressed with trivity, but finally December 25 was universally adopted; there is no evil directive. But exactness on those points is now not so important as the "spirit of Christmas," the heart of Christmas, all-embracing love for our fellowmen. Margaret E. Sangster in the poem Christmas-tide puts the sentiment in verse: At Christmas-tide the open hand Sectern its bounty o'er sea and land. And none are left to grieve alone, For love is heaven and claims its own. The giving of presents, the use of holly, mistletoe, Yule logs, the washer-wind, the Christmas tree, the days of paganism, but they are things which set the day distinctly apart from all other days. The Christmas tree and Santa Claus for the little folks the day would be incomplete and lose their spirit. THE DALLAS EXPRESS, DALLAS, TEXAS, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1923. illies. The custom of sending greetings on "Christmas cards" started about fifty years ago. Many cities have adopted the beautiful custom of celebrating the festival as communities; the innumerable lights, are set up in a central location, such as Madison Square, York, or the Lake Geneva in Chicago, or the Eve the people gather about these trees and sing the familiar hymn and carols that are associated with Christmas. The Christmas tree is symbol of that spirit of kindness which moves people everywhere and helps them and their sisters. Many fine stories have been woven about the Christmas spirit and Christmas merry-maker; the Christmas story of Scrooge and "Marley's Ghost," is one widely read and loved.

A Christmas Carol is the title of a novel by the old sinister "old man" by Scrooge, who "led his office in the dog days of Christmas," and the author of the Christmas. How the Ghost of the Christmas Past, Present and Future describes the life of the selfish old miser is told in a series of pictures that have all the humor, the pathos, and the realism of the story. Tim, the crippled child of Scrooge's brow-steaked clerk, is one of Dickens' one that children and their elders read and re-read with equal delight.

The sun is the grace and generosity of those times! The warm welcome, the large cordiality, the full fun of innocent celebrations! Perhaps we look back through the softening glow of distance, but there is a romance, a delicacy, true flavor of which indeed seems to be us now. How the neighbors rode through the snow on horseback to large gatherings. How the pretty girls were wearing which seemed to over the road in sleigh! How the bells rippled and rang! And how the wide doors few open to greet these people. Light of candles. . . breath of pine trees. . . sprigs of holly. . . and the high thrill of holiday cheer. Laughing faces. . . graceful and the Virginia reel in the evening. It is a heartwarming thing to think about. Let us try to insert one of this gentle spirit and spirit into our life and treasure and spaciousness of those times, but hearts can reflect just as truly the invariable yet invivile power and loveliness—Martha B.

IHERE is scarcely, a church of any denomination that does not some time during the Christmas season lesson to the strata HERE is scarcely a church of any denomination that does not come time during the Christian season of that beautiful and soulful spiking hymn, "O come all ye failful!" It seems to be a favorite at Fatele塔, whether it is sung as above referred to or in its original form as the "Adobe Piddita." The hymn was first given to the wounded Franciscan monk, but did not gain world-wide popularity for a long time after. The English translation was made by Canon Frederick Olander over the hymn has been translated into the language of every nation and the sweet and lofty words ring cut at Christmas time in many remote places. The hymn has supervised the original Latin as a great extent, yet the beauty of the original composition is such that there are many who still prefer to hear it in their own—Katherine Eldeman. (812, 1133, Eldeman Daughters.) F COURSE, every gift given means also a gift received. Christmas always has two address and certainly there is a gift. COURSE, every gift given means also a gift received. Christmas always has two great gifts: a great joy in receiving the tokes of love and friendship that come to us, not because of their money value, but because of their love and generosity, but because they convey to us an expression of someone's affection. I harden a young girl remains when a Hitchcock movie comes to mind, a broken bank's money. What a city. As if Christmas could have in it great joy for anyone who looked for the gift of Christmas, it likely to be revealed by the spirit of our receiving quite as well as by the spirit of our giving. It is this law of the giving that makes Christmas the more joyous, but will also be an all-year virtue, if it is cultivated in our hearts. F. H. Hewlett (1923, Western Newspaper Club). That Mask Which Grew on Mr. Philetus' Face HILETUS SOLMICOLLY could not understand why the children did not like him. He gave them good advice. He patted them. HILETUS SOLEMICOLLY could not understand why the children did not like him. He gave him a book and then upon their heads. He expressed the hope that they would be successful in life as he had been. He told them that he would behave themselves as he wanted them to. Yet they came to his school unwillingly and went home from it gladly. They were respected, but unsatisfied. It was with hope, but not without difficulty, that a friend persuaded Philletus to officiate on Santa Claus at the Christmas festival and to assume the role of Santa Claus. Philletus did not see much use in such fanciful doings, butglied to solicitation and appeared upon the occasion as with much grace as a feeling of joy. The form was now round, his other garments had become gay, and the jolly mask that had been adjusted to his face gave him a quite new expression. As the joy among the children progressed and the spirit of fun and frolics mounted high Phletius began to experience a clause of love. The manure he began having a good time himself and to feel like a real Saint Nicholas. For this reason, perhaps, he overcrowded himself to such an extent that this made him off and it was revealed to the surprised uncle once that it had been contradicting the face of Mr. Solencky. This was truly the best feature of the evening, and it proved to have a permanence about IC, for from that time, the Philatite this shortened, and broadened, and fattened, and colored up, until it came to look a good deal better, and the Philatite who is always young and kindly. So the mask that fell off left its imprint and stayed on, and Philatite, able to be merry, became the familiar friend of the children—Christopher G. H. (o. 123, Western Newspaper Union.) THE THREE "F'S" HE important thing about Christmas is the way you feel. Christmas is the heart-feeling should be one of fun, faith and fidelity. Fun for as many as you can run. Faith in the fun of giving. Fidelity with the nearest and closest. A Christmas filled with these joyful experiences of happiness on many a day to come. There is too much running about to find pleasure when the greatest joy can be held. If we are determined to keep it in hand, we are determined to keep it in hand. © 1952, Western News Unice. Who Is Your Neighbor? A Good Christmas Game HIS is a very lively Christmas game, and one especially useful in an emergency, for it can be used to explain the nature of any kind. Arrange a few chairs as there are players in the form of a circle. When this has been done the party must divide into groups, each with a set of possession of the chairs in such a way that each has a vacant chair at his right hand. Each group must move alternately into the middle of the circle, and at a given signal they must all mysteriously and noiselessly sent themselves in the vacant chairs. At the word "go" the party must start all singing. A well-known tune may be arranged before, or they may all sing anything that happens to occur at the time. The voices as much as possible. The blindfolded players must listen attentively, the object of each being to guess coo-coo with his singing neighbor. Those whose guesses are correct have their hands removed, and change places with their singing neighbors. They must go back again. One guess only is allowed each time. P. H. Sweet.

Ann, "The hard-billed," the office that she met her co-worker and placed them in the locker that ranged across the end of the room. No one paid much attention to Ann usually, she was of such an explosive nature, and said such irresponsible things, that she was not taken seriously. Ann and Brestice had been of Ann and Brestice had been of Ann and had been commented upon so much by Ann that her announcement caused the other girls to look up to her. "That's a fact," continued Ann, "and I am so ashamed of my treatment of her this long time." And about "I asked Sadie, assistant to the department manager," I exclaimed Ann, "I will have to change my beauty nature, before I can tell you how it happened. In a spirit of spite I sent Brestice a Christmas present, which no one but good friends knew of, as anything but an insult. It does no difference what it was. Today noon I met her on the street and she stopped me to thank for the pres- "It was not the present so much, Ann, that came by mail," said she. "What made me feel good was that I was able to take care of her. She took hold of my hand to caress it and said, It was not any kind of a present that I wanted most from you, Ann, and sympathy. I have been hungry for you, Ann, and you had no right to take yourself away from me. I give you love and sympathy, and give me yours!" And little Ann, the hard-billed, cried right on the street. What do you think of that, girls?" Ann has loved and is not past, it seems, commented one. "And now do you know what?" This from Ann. The girls waited expectant, further information from the erase. "Well, I always thought Christmas was to get people to spend lots of money to send things to other people, and they love me." Ann. "Now I have a new understanding of Christmas since my most loyal friend has asked me only for my love to get it."—C. F. Wadsworth. (p. 1912, Western News Union.) N IRELAND Boxing Day (the day after Christmas) is known as St. Stephen's day. On this day there is practiced an old quince tradition through the ages and which is called "hunting the wren."

When I wrote the other letter I was in Austin, Texas, and from there I made my way to this place, where I met a woman named Melissa, who assigned me to stop with Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Wremen, and they have a palatial home, he being a black matrimonial woman. I want to mention Mrs. M. E. Wremen, the wife in this affair, for she has a sign, "Poro System," and that means she is a woman in fact—in fact, she is a graduate from that institution, and is as busy as busy can be. She is a woman well known in the business world of the A. M. E. Church. When I told her that I knew Prof. Aaron E. and Mrs. Amie M. Malone, she just made sure I should be well cared for. I walked in. Now here we are, and I am sure you want to know what has happened to you and what I want to know I will tell you. Mrs Wrenn has given me my medicine when it was medicine time, and then I went to the hospital. It was cat time, and I have been to conference when it was conference time. It seems that some of the big names in the field of Abington cross-eyed because in the headlines of the Dallas Express it appeared that he was the leader of the conference. It was the leader of his conference. He is on the episcopal committee, and the mistake is not sufficient to split hairs and cross over. He is leader of something. I want you to keep Dr. John A. Gregg in mind when you are writing. He is a university and is the kind of a man needed for a bishop in these times. Praise the Lord for his life and work! Here comes a notice from Secretary R. B.

They are four angels! And I don't know how to handle it, luck some time when I can get the courage, and ask one of them, the one I happen to be in love with, to "have me." Perhaps if I make the angels happy, I'll be sure she'll remember she's a Christmas angel, and take me. Don't laugh at my audacity. Anything may happen at Christmas time! For Christmas is when I can tell you that—Ethel Cook Elliot. That Plum Pudding and Some Twisted Mottoes OUISE loved jokes. She caught people with questions and pussed them with countrums. So she stood that centered about the Christmas plum pudding. When that came upon the table each one was to put in his thumb and pull out a plum in a twisted mat; there they were all around the sides of the platter. Father was first, unfolding his plum he read off the pit of it and, as if to be surprised, said "All is not laugh that titters." Then mother read here: "It's a wrong turkey that has no turning." As this did not apply to the bird that she sat on, the self-satisfied smile of the cook behind the door did not come off. Then Annt Mary: "A hitch in time saves mine." This reference to Bob's suspenders, but caused his relative to remind him that he was not as needless of stitches as he thought, upon which he replied that he could depend upon that tailor and collars and a half a leg seems free. Then Susan: "We never miss the swatter till the fills go by." This was the first time she was it dilled for future reference. Bob's plum was also laid on the table after he had read: "A strolling boy catches no horns." A sentiment with tattered inclination to think a little too personal. Louse had the last plum and declared: "All's well that ends swell." Expressing the traveler's satisfaction with tatter form, less terror and more firmer. But the pudding was cooling and that was no joke, so, as the temperature fell, they fell to—Christopher G. Hassan. (© 1928, Western Newspaper Union.) A CHRISTMAS THOUGHT The greater happiness of the Christmas season is a direct result of the greater participation of men and women in the holiday season. Weaker weakness has a power over strength and then the laughter in the eyes of little children seems a better thing than the laughter in the lives of those around us looks out upon us through enigmatic eyes, and we understand better, we wear a suit, we even ninnierate, we would show that we see and understand—and so we offer the dumb gift which nulty tells us to wear a suit, then in our hearts, in our households, in our little world, there is Christmas joy and peace—earth's highest happiest place. Shipperson in Pittsburgh Dispatch. THE GENUINE SPIRIT The genuine holiday spirit consists not only in wishing a merry Christmas, but in making one. MOTHERS' CHRISTMAS After receiving her gifts, mother's Christmas will be devoted largely to washing an extra number of dishes. NEVER TOO HIGH It might be different with a lot of things around Christmas, but the mistletoe is never too high. California Adopts Gay Christmas Berry OXAL to its own products, California has adopted the "Christmas berry" as its holiday and the "Christmas berry" as its good substitute. It makes a very good substitute for the well-known holly of the eastern states. The California holly—Christmas berry—is not very similar to the regular holly in structure, but the tint of the leaves and of the berries approximates the colors afforded by the regular sort. The California holly are not of the California holly but the berries easily suggest the regular species. To make the effect seem more real, some floats of const cities may be used in the foliage, but with the richly foliage of the live oak. The shrubs of the California holly grow 4 to 25 feet tall, and the flowers appear in July and August, and the berries are similar to cherries, are ripe by Thanksgiving and remain on the trees for some time; although they do not keep well after being plucked. In most of the southern half of the state, and at Christmas time the rich cardinal berries contrasted with the full green of the foliage adds a gay note to the holiday, and the baskets of the street vendors. The berries have a rather pleasant taste, somewhat acid and arstring, and are "sometimes eaten by the Innocent Mary Elizabeth Parsons Cunningham, in "Wild Flowers of California." Such has been the wild scramble for California holly at Christmas times in the late 19th century to protect the shrubs by law, it now being a midsemester to gather the holly in the hills and along the highways without the permission of the proprietors, however, usually are willing for motor parties to avail themselves of a reasonable supply of the rich red and green decorating material for home use, but dealers are often at a loss to supply berries at Christmas time—C. P. Wedsworth. (© 1922, Western Newspaper Union.) Mysterious Kindness Bound Up in a Bundle FTER the joyous excitements of Christmas Day they all sat about the blinding hearth fire with a smile, thoughts and called upon the doctor to tell them a story. "I will," he said, "upon one condition I have, I throw a small fagon upon the blaze and tell a story as long as it burns, then I will tell my story. I pleasant and laughing interest went round until the turn came to the doctor. "Well," he said, as he threw a larger fagon into the fire, "my story is not yet complete. I will be gone one for, as I went my round calls this morning I was surprised to see a large bundle lying in front of the door of a cottage on the riddle that I had forgotten and everything else. Curious to understand the matter. I stopped to investigate it and discovered by a card that I had received a bundle was designed for Mrs. Caferty. Knocking upon the door, I at last induced the woman herself to open I. Reading the card to her, I lifted the card and called out in a loud voice: "Here, you, Mice, Mora, Rose, Timothy, Patrick, Bridget and Kate, come here you spell out the leprachnes have brought ye." "They came, from above, below, and from all sides they came, and it is wonderful. They came joy as came out of the mysterious kindness that was bound up in the good things of that bundle of things they voted the doctor's story the best Christmas story of all—Christopher G. Hassard. 122. Western newspaper Union.) CHRISTMAS ALONE A fellow that is far away from his home folks on Christmas day may make an effort to be gay, but doesn't have much luck, says a writer.

Put Christmas Wreath in Its Rightful Place HEY were putting up the Christmas tree in the village community house with happy anticipations. Meanwhile two HEY were putting up the Christmas tree in the village anticipations. Meanwhile two little folks and a dog were enjoying themselves on a big ice cake along the bay shore. As the ice jumped off with the children hugged each other and thinking a moment, surprised them by giving a running leaf into the water and striking out for the door. Not long after, Sim Gannett opened the door of his host house to see what the dog was barking about and was greeted with a shower as Pluto shot upon his tail and thinking a moment, surprised him by giving a beating, beckoned his eyes towards the open door. As Sim did not understand this Pluto caught hold of his coat and pulled upon his hinge legs and beckoned, beckoned his eyes towards the open door. As Sim did not understand this Pluto caught hold of his coat and pulled upon his hinge legs and beckoned, beckoned his eyes towards the open door. It did not take the old fisherman long to get his boat down to the water and pull it out through the floating ice, and soon two youngsters and one dog jumped up in the back of the boat returning. After the curios were sung that night, they put the holly wreath that he had given them on his chest. Sim Gannette's neck, but Sim took it off and put it upon Pluto and he acted as though he knew that he deserved it. (© 1912, Western Newspaper Union.)

She was great disappointment on Christmas, because she disbelieved he held his Christmas tree he said he would be. He said it would be a fur tree, dawn.

A Late "It" Arrival Came Just in Time VERYONE was watching, waiting, hoping. They all hoped it would surely arrive on time. They hoped "it" would not fall them. They helped the Christmas season so much. Everyone and everything loved "it." The children loved "it." the grown-ups loved "it." The trees of the forest loved "it." And the trees of the forest loved "it." The arrived late—almost when everyone was giving "it" up. But even though "it" was a late arrival "it" was not too late.

Evolution is a movement in ideas towards idealism. The true servants are never to be sought among conspirators and assassins; but they are inspired tallers who sit peacefully at the foreseen horizons of literature and philosophy for the hammers of history and embittered quagmires of political strife. Economics rest on reason rather than politics. Justice is a matter of deliberation rather than emotion. In the last analysis, what men think deceive establish conditions "as glittering and short-lived as the ephemera which constitute an action." But the lasting structure of civilization rest upon thought. No cause is ever permanently wounded in the form of an action, but it is depicted in the forum, as the status of Negro liberty painfully illustrates. Liberty is liberty painfully illustrates. Soul—it ticks it from all the assaults of time and circumstance—leaping the faeces of ignorant it plants humanity upon the high ground of "peace on earth and good will to This book is bound in cloth, stamped in gold, printed on English finish paper and contains 229 pages.

Some of us believe that Christmas is the disillusioned years, with a kind of "leave it-to-the-children" philosophy; some of us believe it indulgence, with a kind of "leave it-to-the-children" air; the assumption being that some day, when the real business of life begins for them, they must of course leave it to the children; there are those people, and we count ourselves among them, who believe Christmas is the children's festival. Now as a matter of fact we are never able to this day to write or paint, but we are always full of thefulness of our own heart and memories. Each year, as we watch the Christmas preparations on all sides we remember the years the Christmases of our childhood, simple enough to be sure; some of them without a piece of holly, and some without a tree, are the theless, of the genuine Christmas spirit: Gaiety, brightness, tenderness, generosity, even little love. There are things like this, the memory of lovely childhood Christmas maze goes by; but it is amazing, and the memory of brightness things like this throw their beams across the future years, like Poria's candle, and brighten many a dark This, as we take it, is the whole splendid meaning of import of Christmas. We know that us we be quite definite about it—let us determine that these children whose ours owes them their tender and deeply impressionable years, a truly lovely Christmas, brimming with peace and joy, whose ours is beautiful and good will; so that they can never in the future years, in some places, be beside them, lose Christmas or lack it.

The child had preceded them. And as they neaved the little town of Bethlehem people from all the surrounding countryside gave their meier gifts to those of the Magi. The old lady, Befana by name, lived near the road to Bethlehem, did not go out with the rest to welcome the three Kings from the East. She the mother of the king was too busy at home. And, anyway, she could see them upon their return. The Wise Men, however, returned by a different route, and Befana, as the legend goes, still sits by the road to Bethlehem watching for these children. She wanders the earth at Christmas time searching for the Wise Men. But never has she shewn them the true spirit of Christmas. How many of us, like Befana, fail to see the true spirit of Christmas.

LARKIN is a little old lady who lives in a red house just over the hill. The children do yardwork every day on their own. They always look up at her windows, for Mrs. Larkin is sure to be at one of them, nodding and smiling in the room. Mrs. Larkin has cookies in jars and Mrs. Larkin can knit red mittens faster than anybody else in town. Both cookies and mittens find their way to the children in the room and hands of half the children. At Christmas time, the little old lady is bonner than ever. But the almost thing about her is the expressiveness she does not half describe the brightness of it. One day Tilly Tinker said to her: "What makes your face like a candle, Mrs. Larkin?" laughed the little old lady, "What do you mean?" Tilly and difficulty in explaining, but she finally succeeded in making Mrs. Larkin a present by comparing her face to a snowflake. "I tell you a secret," and the little old lady in a whisper, "At Christmas time I always needn't I look at you. I always need a thousand candies, every lighted one. No portraits some of them are reflected on my face. It's a fine way to keep a face looking happy. Just try it. For perhaps M. Larkin found the best recipe for happiness—she filled her hands with good works and her mind with the brightness of lighted candles. © 1924 Western Newspaper Union.) IT WAS Christmas night. The moon was shining and the snow sparkled like diamonds and there are ever seen in jewelry shop. The bells jingled, the frosty air seemed to say in its cool, cheery way; the snow was shining and faces you can feel me and my cold, braiding ways. The snow went more slowly. Inside the slight were a nun and a girl. And they were saying things which not may sound new to you. "There is nothing in the world like snow and one of the things they said." "And to be in love, and sleigh-on Christmas night after a perfect Christmas there is nothing in the world like it." But it was as beautiful to them as things. For beauty and to open novelty, it depends on something far deeper and treer. There is nothing new about love. There is nothing new about Christmas.
