It is the goktew thrciad that ties the hearts of ah the world. There is a deal of friction in life. If we look through our lives during: this year some of us wilt see that we have accumulated a vaat lot of i dislikes and irritations. But Christmas is a time to forgive and faint a time for those who are estranged to come together again. If we think what Christmas means our dispositions are sure to soften. We ought to act on the kindly impulses that come to us, and celebrate the day b? putting ourselves right with all the world. If we go on cherishing theold grudges'' and indulging the old dislikes it is for us a Christies* Christmas. L. V. Coggins, Pastor. Sheriff Long "Settles With Com.
