PAGE TWO SPREADING GOOD- WILL —♦ — (From The Hamlet News-Messenger) In business, in tfefe proses-- sions and rtf socitfl v lifo and community • affair this gospel of good will is ,spr«ad. It is spread by those who are fair dealers in the business world, by those who practice ethical methods in the profession, and by friendly, cooperative and unselfish, service in , the com munity and social life. Such times as Christmas open the very avenue of good will. Good will is not hn ab stract term unless it is made, so by the neglect of one’s duty to his fellowman. Good will suggests the qualities of friendliness, neighborliness, in dustry, integrity, tolerance, cheerfulness, peace and love. The “peace on earth and good will toward men” has a significance in Bible history that it transcendent. Mortals can scarcely compredent the full meaning of the words. Whatever of good will we in this 20th century are able to engender in the hearts of men is based upon the great phil osophy brought down from the sacred tenets of the ages, from great philosophers and historians, and from our own present sensibilities of charity and justice. By example and precept good will may be shown to ward others. Good will may be expressed audibly or by writing. It may be detected in the smile and in the silent ac quiescence to duty. What the world needs is to make and keep good will a thriving, living fact. Good will can not be truly exemplified by mere platitudes nor by following foolish precedent without reason. It may be shown in our everyday lives and throughout the year. The holiday season renders ap-: propriate the giving of ma terial things as tokens of good will. The heart must be in the transaction, else good will loses its force and effect. A spark of genuine good will is a touch of the divine. Its benificence grows. Like love it begets itself. It is well for the world, and we believe it to be true, that as the years go by the world Record Aotorists Awaited Over U./Highway No.l J As/KortestTrunk Luv/fani/Aanie is w _ Com I ———l^—i ” lm iBS fcT* y >*l 2500 Mile Route Now 99.1 Per Cent Paved.

Another . beautiful Christ mas. Another wonderful thought of home, of mother, of fath er. of sister and brother, of child. Another child made happy, and another family cheered to press onward to the goal of life, which is simply right thinking and right living. Another Christmas tree, dazzling, standing like a senti nel of peace on earth, good will toward men. Another time that those who profess the Christian religion, and those who respect it, seek the story of the shepherd and the bright star. Another time to renew old 'friendship by the card, the gift, or just the meeting “Merry ■ Christmas”. So indispensable is Christ mas. Awaited as no other holi day of the year, it unfolds what is in the hearts and minds of men. The spread of happiness is both the cause and the effect of this day, in observance of the day when Christ was born. It is a time when traditioh outweighs history, when intagi nation is greater than fact; when the day is celebration, merriment, prayer, love and unselfishness, regardless of any technical considerations as to the authenticity of another date. * • • Christmas is a time when people let loose of themselves and give out the spirit and the soul; it bares what is good and suppresses what is bad. Tho it is more blessed to give than to receive, in receiv ing one may be happy that the giver has been blest; hence to give and to receive carry a ==grr) pms -r* m&mM ?£ t} l or x*"— A 4.0 f 4E , * * * Tug ’’jj : * *^ : ; *** * : .* cross section of America proper put on a platter for the motorist to enjoy Route Easily Followed According to road experts no high way marker in the United States le so easy to follow as is the official Federal emblem of U. 8.

The doctor has discovered elongated mat ter before unknown to exist. If this is true, it can be expect ed that science will further go intb the matter of obtaining means of cure. In any science, art or pro fession, the thing that causes or is a source of trouble must first be found. Then it must be understood. Whether disease is caused by germs or by a pro cess of error or wrong-think ing of the human mind, it is certain that the matter or the error, as : the . case may be, must be located. In the short space of twen ty-five years, rapid advance ment has been made in the less ening 6f th6 death rate by such diseases* as-' diphtheria, ty phoid, small pox and tubercu losis. Whatever the cause, these diseases are 1 fast ‘ loos ening their grip upon the race as a whole. The world is eager to learn of any substan tial progress in the cure of infantile paralysis, because, as its name implies, it usually af fects children, our most prec ious possessions. Under the theory that human ingenuity is practically limitless, there is a hopeful outlook for con quering this dreaded affec tion. Ij &UGUSTA GOLi 5 k .'
