The Christmas bells ring clearly ont Their message of good-will and peace With many a call and silver shout For faithful hearts the angels' song Still echoes in the frosty air, And by the altar low they bow in adoration and in prayer.

IIL That they at last may see light, 1 Which shines from Bethlehem, and i unfold * For Christ the treasures of their ? hearts, i Richer than spicery or gold. 1 Hope of the ages Thou near - 4 'Til all the earth ahall own Thy sway, 1 And when Thou reign'd in every % heart , i It will indeed be Christmas day. b ELEANOR A.

It seem*, only fitting at this time when everyone i? entering into the holiday eeeaon of Christmas 1922 that we pause for * moment to con sider the real meaning of Christmas. Possibly we can do this better if we think what oqr, world would be and used to be whan are had no season like this to commemorate what most the world have been those eons ago with no real spirit of Christmas to cheer and inspire? The pagan gods were strong indeed itv eyes of those old rulers bat always represented to those who prayed to him?a spirit of swtfh "vengeance to . the one who failed to obpy, and much extortion, homage and living of alms to those who owned him as absolute ruler. Who can say what Justice (?) was meted out to those who descended to , the torture chamber; who can say' what feelings weighed down the poor victims ot. greed and oppression? i What were the pleasures of those gay j < livers who spent time and money, i bending body and soul to that one end 1 of attaining only the pleasures of i this Ufa; for to them there was no after Mfe, all ended in the brief span allotted man en earth. Why should i a man strive to do right, to be true 1 hearted, or to consider every man his i neighbor?unless he really wanted i to? Did man own nay feeling at i body than himself 7 Did he ever stay his hand in in flicting punishment Did he ever show others a real feeling of brother hood? No, truly the motto which lived in all hearts was "eat drink and be merry for tomorrow ye die." In contrast to this what are the 1 thoughts and impulses swaying the hearts of all Christians of 19227 Doee he pray to ? God of vengeance only? Is he punished unmercifully? Is he thrown into- the. dungeon cell? Is he oppressed and weighed"down with a burden of taxes? Perhaps, in a few instances, we may say yes, but in most instances to us of the Christian world, the spirit of truth, love and justice are ever reigning on high. Our God is a compassionate father ' ever ready to pardon an erring child. > As a witness of our Christianity 1 we have the hundreds of dollars, the i rest amount of supplies which hgve been sent to starving Europe. While in our own realms we have rescued the perishing, fed and clothed the | itarving, responding to all calls from ' i poorer or weaker brother. For us ' he real feeling of brotherhood reigns < iupreme. f ? *? So once again lot US' pease in the ittrry of our day and give a few mom ents to the consideration of Him who node all this possible?the One whoss ) drth first represented, the words? c ?eace on earth, good will toward man g -our greatest teacher and leader? , Ihrist. Let us remember if it were f ot for him we would be living in j bose days of pagan gods and idols? B E. D.

Then .Mia* Jewell, our sponsor, gave us a talk that waa both helpful and complimentary. The minute* of last meeting were read and roll was called by the secretary, after which a well prepared and suc cessful program was rendered. It was given as follows: Current event Robert Hoggard Life of James Whiteomb Riley.. Kate Brett Recitation (Riley)?Sailey Burgess Original Christmas Poem Aries Isnehower Want Ads Lake Isenhower Debate: "Resolved that the World has improved religiously since 1800." Affirmative; Alton Hayes, Bessie Newsome. Negative; Elisabeth Dilday, Merton Carley. Critic; Miss Thelms Jewell. This program was well prepared, enthusiastic and full of "pep." It re flected nothing but credit upon our. society. Every part was well pre pared but the number which we want | to call special attention to is the orig inal Christmas poem and we are now able to predict that this society will produce a famous poet. The debate also was very interesting, was a heat ed discussion and kept the society in suspense as to who would be victor ous. The affirmative, however, .won the decision of the judges. V This society is waking up, we are having better programs and giving more of our time to this important phase of worth. This program waa the best that has been given for some time and might be attributed to the fact that we have "Christmas in our bones," but it can readily be seen that this society has progressed rapidly and still holds up its motto "Aim High." REPORT OF COLUMBIAN LITER ARY SOCIETY The program of the Columbian Lit erary Society was opened by singing, "Christmas Carol." The roll was called and minutes read by secretary. The chaplain, Thomas Baker, then read the account of Christ's birth in Matthew. The society repeated the Lord's prayer in concert. Miss Emily Gayle was elected sponsor of our Society. After the business had been disposed of a splendid and most en joyable program was rendered as fol lows : Song Society Current events C. C. Sessoms Life of Thomas Nelson Page.. Ben Williams Story (Page) "Marse Chan" Mary Sumner Debate: "Resolved that we gain more information by observation than by reading." Affirmative, Harry Holloman, Lois Parker. Negative; Vernelle Alexander, Ar thur Greene. "An Autobiography of a fountain pen" Thomas Baker Instrumental solo " Estelle Newsome . ( Prophecies Ernestine King Critic _? Mabel Claire Hoggard In the "Life of Thomas Nelson Page", by Ben Williams, many facte concerning the life and character of this great Southern writer, were re viewed before the society. The story, by Mary Sumner entitled, "Marse Chan" gave a vivid description of how the darkies and their "old mar stera", as they were called, lived many years ago. It helps the society very much by studying the lives and works of these great men. The de bate was also very good, both sides upholding good argument, but after the rejoinders were given, the nega tive won the decision of the judges. As there was no other business of importance to be attended to, the Society adjourned. CUuw Praml Present?
