Society KANSAS Note: All those holding tickets for December 22, 1921 will be recognized at the.above named date Volumie VIII With 587 Students Now Enrolled, it Has the Machinery to Make Good Citizens Chicago, Dec. 28.—As the man making mills continue to grind, and here and there grinding out a man, a woman for us, I am not in the least discouraged, but believe that the time will come when a man in America will be measured by his brain power and not by the color of his skin or the kind of hair he may have on his head. If you woud look at me, you would declare that I am a Catholic priest or some other big man, because my hair looks like beads, and that's no kidding. I spoke of man-making machines, and I have reference to the school for it is there where we gt our thought tanks put in action, and there is where we find the real man. You may tell the people that I told you this if you so desire. I have several important institutions in mind; will tell you about them, and I will go way back and sit down. I am sure that all your readers are acquainted with Dr.F. Jesse Pack, president of Western University, Quindaro, Kansas, and one of the strongest educators in America. He is a man who believes in doing things and you may take my word for it, that he has ben doing them, too. Permit me to say to you that Dr. Perk is a product of Hampton Institute, and was there at the time Dr. Booker T. Washington was there—in fact, they were personal friends, and this young man today is to the west what Dr. Booker T. Washington was to the nation. He is making Western University, Quindaro, Kansas, the great institution of this country, and today it has its rating and standing with the other great institutions. It is a fine location for such an institution. It was fortunate that the leaders put their hands on Dr. Peck, and he has certainly put the school on the map, and it is crowded to its capacity today, still they are knocking for admission. This young man has continued to go to the educational front. Graduating from Hampton, did not satisfy Dr. Peck, for he had a vision and declared that the world should know that he lived. He went to Storer college. Harper's Ferry, W. Va., to the college of the Catholic Brotherhood, stepped into Oberlin and got on some training, and then to the Theological Department of Howard University and then out into the practical work, taking his place among the men of thought, the men of affairs. There is no question about it, the intellectual world (Concluded on Fourth Page) SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS. $1.50 The Advocate's Earnest Appreciation We wish to show our appreciation to all those who contributed to the pages of The Advocate in our holiday editions especially, and those who have supported it for the year of 1921. We have tried to the best of our ability, with a meager income, to give our readers clean matter, let it be in small or large volume. As has always been our policy, to keep from our pages anything that would have a tendency to bring about strife, ill will, or anything that might cause discord in the community, race, church or state. We simply take the high ground of humanity, but ever allowing a place in our hearts of greater consequence, for the disadvantaged one. We desire, through the cooperation of our citizenry, to be able in doing more effectual work for humanity, in the year of 1922 than we have—if it has been any—in the past nine years of our trying. We wish to extend to all our patrons, friends and well wishers an unusually Happy and Prosperous New Year. Mr. C. E. Cannon, 2940 North Third street, the street's largest grocery, says his holiday trade was the best and most satisfactory one he has ever had. His fowl sales, such as turkeys, chickens, geese and ducks were nearly a thousand dollars, and could have used more, if he could have secured them. These were sold for Christmas alone. Mr. Cannon says other meats, including grocery goods, were in proportion. Mr. Cannon, through The Advocate, desires to extend his thanks and gratitude to his patrons and wishing them o Happy and Prosperous New Year. The delegates who are attending the Inter-State Literary annual meeting this week at Topeka are Mrs. Willa Dwiggins, Judge I. F. Bradley, Sr., and Editor Thos. Knedy, representing the N. A. A. C. P.

CITY Kansas City, Kansas, Friday NITY A HAPPY GREETINGS OF THE C Kansas City, Kansas, Friday, December 30, 1921 To one and all: "On earth peace—good will to men." We have had a fairly good year, and have done some things, but could have accomplished more. The knowledge of these facts moves us to the resolution to make the year beginning, a more profitable one. The first meeting of the year will be held at the room of the League over the Home Drug company. on Monday evening, January 2. It is hoped that the attendance will be large, even overflowing. And let it be known as "Idea Night." That is to say, let everyone bring with him his idea of what can or may be accomplished during the year. JARRETT'S CHRISTMAS DINNER Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Jarrett prepared a bountiful turkey dinner Monday for fifty of our less fortunate families, which was sived by waitrsses in the dining room of the First A. M. E. church. As these appreciative families left, each one was given box of candy and apples, which the Sunday school donated. Mr. and Mrs. Jarrett will ever lovingly be remembered by those who were their guests on the Christmas holiday of 1921. The table was laden with everything good to eat and Mrs. Jarrett saw that every one received and stored away all available space. Mr. and Mrs. Jarrett says this was the happiest Christmas of their life. Mr. Jarrett was kept busy bringing those who were not able to walk and taking thm home in his auto. This was one joyous day for all present. Mr. N. M. Cavens and Mr. Wesley, two prominent Masons, and citizens of Manhattan, Kansas, were the guests of Rev. J. A.

ADVOCATE Also, a good strong determina- tions to what shall be accomplished. It is high time that we, as a racial group, awake to a full scpe of the fact that the Social Revolution is now on—it has turned, and it is now up to us to get ourselvs busy to become factors in it—rather than mere mass, to be acted upon. For rest assured that he shall realize and acquire in the very proportion that we become active, real, thinking factors. Then see to it: "That when the roll is called that you are there." REV. J. F. GRIFFIN. Chairman. \ I. H. ANTHONY, Secretary. A FINE SPIRIT Mrs. H. G. Dwiggins, out of the largeness of heart, and expressing herself as feeling it more blessed to give than to receive, cheered the hearts of 25 or more children Christmas day. Her son, Horace played the role of Santa and found pleasure in distributing the candies, toys, etc., to the tots. She says that during her regime as president of the orphans' home, there awakened in her heart th edesir to cheer the youths with no thought of returns and every year this opportunity to help others has been a pleasure.

CITIZENS' FORUM This Forum, the oldest in Greater Kansas City, met as usual, Prsident Curry presiding. After the uslal preliminaries of music, etc., Dr. Gloyne, our health inspector, made an instructive talk. Although some did not quite understand his address, he explained everything satisfactorily. He spoke of having sanitary homes for all races. He recognizes the fact that some of our race have sanitary homes and some haven't, and says it is the same way in other races. His address was very benificial. The committee on new officers were "daedlocked" and unable to make a report, so officers will have to be elected this Sunday, January 1, somehow, even if the committee does not report. Come out and hear a fine New Year's program and give quotations of your New Year's resolutions. THE FRUITS OF HIS FOLLY IN BIG 5-ACT BENEFIT DRAMA Presented by Mrs. W. T.

Midnight Declares Chicago, Ill, Dec. 23.—We are now standing on the close of 1921, and ready to say good morning to 1922, when we wilk all turn over a new leaf on the pages of our book, but will we turn back and review the year which is closing and see what it has meant to us and what it has meant to others? While there have been wars or at least rumors of wars, and some real battles have been fought with bedbugs and other kind of bugs, for I have fought the life battle with bugs which would destroy me, and in this fight I have had the aid of such generals as George C. Hall, M.D., and Horace W. Conrad, M.D., and this is a team of fighters, believe me. Dr. Conrad can beat the world locating bugs, and finding a remedy to get rid of them, and Dr. Hall can with such grace look at them and tell them that they are lying if they had said they were going to take me away that the worms might feast on my carcass without my knowledge or consent. I am still here and if I were not here, then I would be a pretty little angel way up yonder in heaven, flying from station to station and shakig hands with those who made it ahead of me. It is strange how man can boast of Heaven being his home, vet you never find one who is homesick. They all want to remain down here as long as possible, and they usually say "The Lord is not ready for me yet." I am not going to get into the Lord's business and you need not try t offorce me into it. I have got sense enough to stay out of heavenly things, and when the Lord wants me into them He will let me know, and until then I am going to continue to labor on in His vineyard bringing in the wondering sheep. In my letter last week, I spoke of Dr. J. C. Caldwell, and his wife, but since then I have heard that she has gone to her eternal rest. She is at home with Jesus, and her husband is left here to fight the battle of life alone. He is a brave soldier, and I feel that he will hold up under the burden. I know that to him, she was a loving faithful wife, and devoted to him, and had a smile for all of his friends. She took such a delight in preparing a meal for his friends, in fixing the bed, in making them welcome to their palatial home. They lived like brother and sister. When he was away, it was a pleasure for her to take charge of his office and look after the affairs. There (Concluded on Third Page) THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Prop. Thos.

Old Hiram Palmer sat by the window waiting for the postman. Christmas eve had been rather bleak. He IT WAS Christmas morning. Old Biram Palmer sat by the window waiting for the postman. Christmas eve had been rather bleak. He had seen, from the window, groups of people passing from time to time, hurrying, smiling, such gay, happy people. Biram was old, too old. He had outlived his friends, his immediate family, his day had long since gone by. He had given generously to hospitals and charitable institutions and a number of personal presents. He always, for example, sent some of the large baskets of fruit the town's leading shop arranged so attractively, to those he knew would never buy themselves such delicacies. The last Christmas he had only received two presents. One from his nephew out West and another from a grandchild. He was waiting for these now. The postman came along the street. Eagerly old Hiram waited. And then M. W. H. W. But the postman had passed by. "Are you sure you have nothing for me?" he called out. "Look more carefully. I was expecting some packages." The postman looked again. "I'm sorry, Mr. Palmer, but there is nothing here." Slowly Hiram went back into the lonely little house. He had lived too long. For his nephew had said: "I guess I won't bother about Uncle Hiram this year. It's a nuisance to shop, and anyway what does he care about a necktie? He can buy all he wants!" And his grandchild had said: "I've got to cut down my Christmas list. It's so long." And she had run her pencil through her grandfather's name. For she had said. "Christmas is for young people. He's too old to care about presents and a handkerchief or two which I might send him!" Dr.F.K.ROGERS,M.D. Physician and Surgeon 1605½ N. TENTH ST. Office Hours: 9 to 12; 2 to 5 P. M. 7 to 9 P. M.

CHURCH NEWS The birth of Christ was celebrated Sunday — Christmas morning, at 5 o'clock. The church was comfortably filled. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, was at his best and delivered a most wonderful and forceful sermon on the occasion of the day. One addition was made to the church. The choir was not out in full, but the music of those present was sweet and inspiring to those present. The regular Christmas offering was made for the less fortunate of the community. At 11 o'clock the service was greatly enjoyed, when Presiding Elder J. C. C. Owens of the Parsons district of the Kansas Conference, delivered an intellectual and spiritual message. Dr. Owens lives here and is now the only pioneer minister of the church in this part of the west. He was pastor of First Church 49 years ago. He has been the means of bringing hundreds into the fold. The Junior Allen Christian Endeavor League rendered an excellent program Sunday evening in the auditorium of the church. These little folks are running away from all other organizations of the church, in the way of entertainment. The Sabbath school in connection with their Christmas tree Saturday evening, rendered a fine program of vocal, instrumenta, and literary. Pastor's Aid Board Gives Christmas Cheer The Pastor's Aid Board, whose sole purpose is to relieve those of our city, as far as possible, who are in need of food, clothing and money, regardless of church affiliation, rendered their best service this year. In only one or two cases where members of the church come under this board's notice. The board delivered Saturday fifty baskets with one whole chicken, vegetables, celery, canned goods fruits, bread and a nic cake and at a number of homes left $5 in money. These baskets went into homes of long illness of the father or mother, homes of widows with several children and of others, who ar more or less dependent. This church club does not only relieve those who are in need at this particular season of the year, but they are found doing something for somebody the year through. Mrs. Ida Lyons is the president of this board and Mrs.Lulu Hornbeak, secretary. The members are of that Christian spirit and are found making sacrifices every week to keep up their treasury ready for any emergency. No one should ever hesitate a moment in contributing to this most helpful organization. Watch meeting services will be held Saturday night, when the old year will be bid farewell and the New Year of 1922 be received with song and prayer. The pastor will deliver a short sermon and love feast will be held. Services will commence at 9:30 p. m. Regular services Sunday, the pastor preaching. The Junior Allen League will have for their speaker Sunday evening at 6 p. m., Miss Bell, secretary of the Young Women's Christian Association of the Missouri side. Subject, "Girls of Our Race."

On the Other Hand. The late Edgar Saltus, the brilliant and satirical novelist, said one day at a New York wedding breakfast, where the bridegroom was a millionaire of forty-five: "Our Rockefellers and Schwabs and Russell Sages married in their first youth. Well, our successful men don't marry now as early as they used to, but, on the other hand—" And Mr. Saltus looked round the table with a bland smile. "On the other hand, they marry oftener." 'N Ev'rything. "My own!" he exclaimed, as they were starting on their wedding journey. "Does it make you happy to know that you are mine—all mine—forever?" "Yes, it makes me awfully happy," she replied. "Now I can eat candy without being afraid of getting fat, and have a charge account and everything, can't I?" Did She Admit It? "Well, remarked a gentleman, after a long argument on the question of man's superiority over woman, "at least there is one good, sweet and perfect thing which a man can have and a woman cannot." "Never!" cried his wife, passionately. "Never! I deny it! What do you mean?" "A wife."—The Scotsman.

All Others; if not Tell Us The Kansas City Advocate, December 30, 1921 Why Not Let Our Sisters Dwell in Unity? (Continued from First Page) are but few such women in this world of ours, and now one of the few has left us. I hope to say more another time. When I wrote to you that other time, I had Temple mud on my shoes, on my pants, and almost on my head. I was crowned with that sticking mud, mud that will stick closer than a brother. It will make the preacher lay his religion down long enough to say a few words that do not belong in the Sunday school lesson and then take up where he left off serving the Lord. From Temple I like to have jude my tool brains out getting to Fort Worth, reaching there about 10:15 Sunday morning. I changed to my Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes and beat it over to the A. M. E. church, where I had been invited by Dr. S. L. Sims, the pastor, to make a few remarks. They have ben made, and then I was soon off for Guthrie to see Dr. H. W. Conrad, and have him see how things were going. He told me I had a high blood pressure. I understand that none but big people can have that, and I feel like I am some pumpkins in this world. I had the pleasure of visiting the high school, visiting Miss Daisy E. Conrad, and then after a good big dinner, I was off for Kansas City. I was making it to a new civilization, and believe me when I tell you I found it. Just as soon as I got out of Oklahoma, I went back and got me a bed car, and believe me, honey, I slept like a log until next morning when I landed on the Santa Fe right in Kansas City. It was my intention to talk about the schools, but before I can get to one of them I am in touch with Mrs. Norene Davis, and you know her without me telling you. I visited the Eastern Star chapter. I think they call it the Sheba Chapter of O. E. S., under the jurisdiction of Kansas. I went to the door tried to knock it down, and I think I heard some one; "There is a fool at the door." I replied: "I am that sotorenus impitus dorus." My aim was to inform them that I sought admission and desired to have the door opened. After a big slack, slick man came out, looked me over, examined my head to see if I had softening of the brains, then they bade me enter. It was election day, and they elected me old president on some else over again. All was well, and I enjoyed meeting that fine body of women. Mothers, daughters, wives and sisters of the Masons. They invited me to come again, to which invitation I replied, "thankirusto, inkilum toretiorum." Now what I said I will never be able to tell you, or at least I can give you the sounds, and if you can make any words out of my slitting then I made good. I visited Western Baptist college, also Western University, and I will tell you about these schools in my next letter, for I have a few other things to say to you. Wait and listen. If you recall, I told you that they were having a heliva time down in Kansas City, and I did not make a mistake, and I took off my hat to Mrs. Lottie Gamble, the Grand Matron of the Order of Eastern Star, and since I have heard her before the learned lawyers and judges, I am willing to take off my head to her. She is indeed a wonderful woman, and Grand Master Crittendon Clark has found out by this time that all the brains are not in his head, that there are others. He has learned that he is not a match for Mrs. Gamble, and his white lawyer with that pumpkin colored man by his side could not twist her up. I don't know his name, and I do not care to know it, but he just sit down there and told that white man how to put questions which would excite the witness and give her the running off at the mouth, thereby causing her to have a flow of meaningless words, and then he could show that she did not know what she was talking about, but far from that. She was as cool as a cucumber and as calm as the judge himself, and none of the questions excited her. Some of them were put-in a catchy way, but she I had the pleasure of seeing many of our women in court, I said to myself wherinthel is Grand Master Clark and his following going when they divide the women up like that. The Grand Chapter met last June, transacted their business, elected officers. Now just what the Grand Master had up his sleeve, I am not prepared to tell, but I do know that later, there was called a meeting in Mexico, Mo., sometime in October, and then and there they proceeded to organize another grand chapter, calling it the Harmony Grand Chapter, to supplant the Unitd Grand Chapter. Believe m there is some lawsuit now, and just as soon as I can learn the result I am going to let you know. Why not let our sisters dwell together in unity? Why bring to life such things that would wreck happiness? An institution founded upon injustice cannot remain long, and it is sure to tumble down. The United Chapter of them Stars in the East will live, and Grand Master Clark and his friends will yet come to worship him. God hasn the day. I want to tell you a little more about it, but will refrain from doing so this week. I am going to get in touch with Misa Mary Wood, who is some more scholar herself. Many of the people sought to shake my lily black hands, and some attempted to tell me what to say and what not to say. Of course I thanked them all, for I did not need to arguify the case with them all, for the time was coming when I would say my sav and then go way back and sit down. A trip to St. oLuis brought me direct out to Poro college, and all of you readers will be delighted to know that Prof Aaron E: Malone is improving, and will soon be himself aga He will have to go to a tailor shop and take to the barrel while his clothes will be made large enough to fit him. He has outgrown them. His stomach is as large as that of Charles Stewart. I want to here pay my respects to that wonderful character of our race, the greatest woman in her line of the age, Mrs. Annie M. Malone, who is the founder of Poro college and a wonderful character, if you please. She has been a blessing to thousands of women, and believe me, when I tell you we have some race. Mrs. Malone believes that womanhood consists of brains, and if you are brainless then stand aside and if you do not the wheel of progress will crush you. Mr. and Ms. Malone have erected their monument in that wonderful business block. They are getting to see their monument and smell a few of the flowers while she lives. I had the pleasure of meeting Secretary David Jones, and his wife at Poro college, the special guest to that of Mrs. Malone. I admire these young people, because they have plenty of common sense, If you desire to send me a letter next week, send it to Millie Hale Hospital, Nashville, Tenn. The Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. are doing well in Tulsa. It is going to come back but as certain as I am standing here, some day nature is going to demand its toll, and I hope you will be ready and willing. I talked to these three, spent some time with Mr. Malone and then started for another part of the world. I am now right in Chicago, and will write this letter from this big town. Look out for others. I am going to keep you posted. J. O. MIDNIGHT. SOCIETY NEWS Mrs. V. Almo Boone's silver tea at Knights of Pythias hall was quite a success. She was assisted by Mrs. Davison, her vice-president, her daughter, Miss Agnes James and a bevy of High school girls. Music and conversation enlivened all. Lovely brick ice cream wafers, mints and hot tea were served. All enjoyed themselves. Miss Cecil Carroll, one of our best young teachers, and her father, served Christmas dinner in honor of Matthew Carroll, Jr., who is here from Kansas University. It was an enjoyable affair. Some guests invited were: Miss Ollie Henry, Misses Adams, Mrs. M. C. Matthews and others whose names we did not get. We regret to learn that Prof. G. A. Curry lost his father by death; also that Prof. Hodge lost his step-mother by death, the past week. Mrs. S. Rollins, who visited relatives in Des Moines, Iowa, returned home Friday.

Christmas day, was quite cold, but as it was the birthday of our Saviour, many assembled to worship God. At 11 a. m. Pastor Harrison was at his best and preached a wonderful sermon on 'The Wise Men of the East.' All true Christians sanctioned it and received spiritual food for the week. The choir also, was at its best, and sang many Christmas anthems. Mrs. Lulu Willis - Thompson sang a solo very effectively. At 7 p. m., the B. Y. F. U. had a large meeting. At 8 p. m., the Sunday school pupils, under the direction of Miss L. Plummer, Miss Burk and Mrs. Eskridge, gave a very appropriate Christmas program. The dialogue of Santa Claus and his wife was especially good. The Miracle Play by many characters showing the scenery of Bethlehem and the birth of Christ was portrayed in a pantomimic way which was a sermon in itself. The choir furnished music while the children were acting. The shepherds fell asleep very naturally, and the wise men and all did well. They were applauded by hand-clapping, which is all right in church plays, as the Bible says, Clap your hands for joy." A special closing feature was a Christmas paper and poem by Mrs. M. C. Matthews, who was authorized to present a Christmas gift to Rev. and Mrs. E. L. Harrison. Mrs. Hulsey, one of our best workers, led and solicited the money from many members. Mrs. Matthews received an ovation on her paper being appropriate to the very minute for the occasion. Dr. Harrison replied in a grateful manner to his members for thinking of him, and says he is going to send the second poem, of the church publicity committee to the Texas state papee. Her first welcome poem to him' was printed and all copies taken. Dr. Harrison's Christmas gift started with about $40. Some may add more to it. One verse of the poem is: So please accept this token now So please accept this token now And may it give you cher With "Merry Christmas to you both. And happy bright New Year. Two church clubs secured Mrs. Osborne's dramatic club in the play "Fruits of His Folly" at Kansas City, Kansas. High school, January 4. Mrs. I. V.

But the ral captains or any one who will beat in this rally are the ones who give the most money, $5 or $10 or more out of their own pockets. Next will be those who solicit, without counting money mad fro mentertainments. That is Bible. So if you want to really be one of the best church workers give five, tn or more dollars from your own pocket. This, Friday, night is the annual church meeting or conference. Next Sunday. January 1, 1922, will be a great day. New year's resolutions, New Year's sermon and appropriate music. Come everybody and hear our good preacher.

He has made a record as a pastor, and now at the head of a great institution he is making the world know him. Dr. Peck was the first president of the school, when it was so poor that it could not gore any more. Now for two years he worked and so poor was the school that the president only got about 80 dollars to cover all the time that he served.. He left and went into the pastorate. He served in California, Topeka, Kansas, and three years ago he was called back to the school which had taken on new life, and only needed a leader Senator Capper and others, including Dr. J. R. Ransom, knew that Dr. Peck was the man of the hour, and he has proven that he was. While serving as Governor of Kansas, Senator Capper got acquainted with the leader of men, and recognized in him a man of great ability. When he took the reins in hand Dr. Peck found an enrollment of 80, but when word went out that he was president, the enrollment began to jump up immediately and the enrollment for his first comeback year was 300, and this year it is 587, and would be even more if they had the room. There are six buildings for the university, including recitation rooms, shops and dormitories, besides kitchen and dining halls. The campus comprises 137 acres. All this belongs to the state. In addition a hall for instruction in theology has been built by the Fifth Episcopal district of the African Methodist Episcopal church and thi syear a new structure is being erected to further extend the work. There are about forty members of the faculty, and they are strong men and women. This is a good place for the training of our boys and girls, and Dr. Peck is the right man for leadership. He is a man who stands high in the business world, as well as in the educational world. He is regarded for his honesty, industry and looks after those placed in his care. In the school they have a banking system in which the students pay out their moneys. Some of the students can write their check for 10 cents, and they have students there whose income is $40,000 monthly from their oil holdings. Dr. Peck is untiring in his efforts not to make himself but the institution, and in this he is meeting with success. We all pay tribute to Kansas, the home of the late John Brown, where presides over the state Governor Allen, for what it is doing for our people. $150,000 was appropriated at the last session of the Legislature. In addition to this from $40,000 to $75,000 comes through the president's office every year, collected from the students. One of the things of which Dr. Peck is proud, and I believe the state is also, is the poultry, chickens, ducks, geese, hogs and cattle, and many of them are registered. All have to give it to him, because he has earned it. I spent a few hours up there in the school, and I was much impressed, and I left knowing more than I did when I went there, and if the students get as much out of it as I did when it pays. We are being helped up the road in the proper way. After getting through there, I heat it over to Jefferson City, and found them there dishing out education. I think I will just have to make me a whole letter about this wonderful plant, yet it is nothing to what it is going to be. I could just write and write my fool brains out about these great schools. Forget it for a while if you please. As I write to you this week, I have not reached Christmas yet, but there are many encouraging things. I am feeling much improved this week. I have ben to Dr. Conrad, and he looked after m, and fixed me over until I could, reach Dr. G. C. Hall, and he put me on record as being a worthy man and told them bugs to go to the place where the wind was never known to blow. I went to Mexico, Mo., spoke there on Sunday, and from there I beat it to Chicago, and I have been going some since I have been ther. Soon I will turn my attention to another part of this busy world. God bless you and all of your children, and let me have a line from you, I am booked to speak to men only in Chicago, Olivet Baptist church, January 1, 1922. J. O. MIDNIGHT.

Christmas SOUND over all waters, reach out from all lands. The chorus of voices, she clasping of hands; Sing hymns that were sung by the stars of the morn. Sing songs of the angels when Jesus was born! With glad jubilations Bring hope to the nations! The dark night is ending and dawn has begun; Rise, hope of the ages, arise like the sum. All speech flow to music, all hearts beat as one! Sing the bridal of nations, with chorals of love. Sing out the war vulture and sing in the dove. Till the hearts of the people keep time in accord. And the voice of the world is the voice of the Lord! Clasp hands of the nations In strong granulations; The dark night is ending and down has begun; Rise, hope of the ages, arise like the sun. All speech flow to music, all hearts beat as one! Blow, bugles of baskle, the marches of peace; East, west, north and south, let the long quarrel cease. Sing of glory to God, peace to men of good will! Hark, joining in chorus, The heavens bend o'er us! The dark night is ending and dawn has begun; Rise, hope of the ages, arise like the sum. And speech flow to music, all hearts beat as one! —John Greenleaf Whittier. M. A.

FIFTH AT OAKLAND AVENUE BELL FAIRFAX 4187 I AM a Christmas Card. I was born shortly before Christmas of 1913. I was put away in a box after Christmas and the next year I came forth again, and the price put upon me had risen from two cents to five. The next year I cost ten cents. Still I did not sell. "We'll have to charge a quarter for that card." my owner said, "and get up the prices of some of these others; or they won't be bought." So I was a quarter. And then I cost 50 cents and was purchased. The price mark has been left on me. I've been traveling with it written on my back ever since. Sometimes, too, I get around to a number of places around Christmas time, especially if I'm started off early in the first place. So far, too, I've been greeted with joy, and an exclamation I do not quite understand. "Oh, good! Here's a card which is marked fifty cents. Who would believe it possible, but no matter, it did! And it's not written on, either!" I do not understand their joy over me, but they never keep me with them! Christmas Fish.
