Monday when a It cornerstone was laid atop Kill Devil ' hill for a memorial honoring he and ? yah' his late brother Wilbur, who at thatj h * spot, 25 years ago, proved to an tin-' ' believing world that man could fly. ! Standing modestly on one corner of h the platform erected on top of the i ' hill from which the memorable flight was made, Mr. Wright listened to i 1? tributes to him from Governor A. j W. McLean, Secretary of War D. j < W. Davis and Senator Hiram Bitig-: ham, proclaiming him the greatest j genius of the twentieth century, i Practically everyone whose name is! known in aviation circles was pres-1 ent for the ceremonfes with the exception of Col.

When we comprehend the bac ward and forward reach of Beth, hem, we do not wonder that all th is grand crowds around the craril manger. It is worthy of all. I. the Star shine. Let the Magi gi gifts. Let the Shepherds worshi I.et the angel-faces flash out frc the great dome overhead. Let t church bells chime. Let the sacr harps and organs respond to t master hand that sweeps th< strings and flies over their keys, al let them turn the common air in praise. Let Christian carols ri over^his wide earth, and echo amo: the stars. Let the great univer of God jubilate. Let everything heaven and earth shout, "Hosanna Cno Son of. David; blessed is he th cometh in the name of the Lor Hosanna in the highest! Got Christmas Gift." "Thou shalt c: him Jesus, for he shall save his pc pie from their sins." Once again a tired world turns behold the Christ Child. Thou Shi call His name Jesus. Ordinarily we speak only in su pressed hopefulness of what we da look forward to in naming new-bo babes. We hope they will be goc We pray they may be so. We ma no forward announcements. V ; dare not challenge the future with name. Names await their interf tiition from the recipient. Jo!

But tli humble* poor, ignorant boy in t | backw oods loneness has come o to pack that name so full of meani ! that it cannot be left off the m< exacting list of all time greatness the human history.
