Am the Christmas season approach
es I W2? remlded of Wordsworthe
beautiful "Ode, Intimations of Im
morality ," and especially the lines In
H which ascribes the dignity of dl*in
Ity to tiuaan life: ?
"Not in entire forsstfulness, ?
And not in utter nakedness.
But trailing cldnds of glory do we
com*. - ft
Prom God, who is our home."
Chr<sda*ji Pty, December the 26th.
is regarded by the Christian world
as the birthday of Christ. It comes j
one a year, to remind ns of God's
greatest gift to the wotld, the gift
of His Bon. I am content to believe
that be idea of giving is the one tbat
should l??rss us moat at this holi
day season. Not so much the pre
senting of gifts and tjemambrances
that will make glad the hfcarts of our
friends, while that is good, but the
giving of ourselves is service to our
fellows.
To me the Christmas season means
rest c: body and 'teat' of mind. It
means "peace on earth, good will to
men." It is a time to forget the
stress and strain of dally life to en
joy the blessings of a good home, tfc
ttate upob the blessings life has
meditate upon blessing* life has
brought, to think of one's frlendrf.
both old and new, to be proud of our
country, and to be glad of lite,
whethc we are st Its dawn, Its noon,
or Its evenlg tide.
I have never been ablp to under
stand how some men, bright Intelli
gent men, can labor faithfully *11 the
year and remain sober until Christ
mas. then flst beastly drunk and
sfftnd the day In revelry and ha'
mas means to the fsmllies of men
who forget themselves in this man
ner. I repeat(. this Idoa of how
Christmas should be spent bmiqs
strsnge to me.
This paper must be brief, but
something must be said for the chil
dren. *1 believc they should have as
much innocent (un and pleasure^
their young lives call for and that In
these pleasures, as In all other af
fairs of life, they should be mildly
patiently, yot firmly corrected when
they have gone to unreasonable lim
its. Let them enjoy the holiday sea
son fully. In addition to giving them
a clear field to enjoy the bright side,
as we call it. I would have them
taught some of the truth 1 have
tried briefly to Indicate above, vis:
The dignity of human life, the genu
ine spirit of giving, peace and gocyfi
will to men, the joyof life to remain
sober, and to be unselfish always.

CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS
HARDY'S DRUG STORE. I
Two much cannot be Mid about
the commendable object for which
the Red Cross Christmas stamps are
belag sold. As most parsons know,
the proceeds from this sale will co a
fighting the "Great White Plague."
which ta working havoc through
out our country. This campaign lbr
the sale of stamps Is naUoa-wldp. We
must fall into line. It Is a small
thing for men to get s supply of t
itamps and put one on every lei
lent out. but when It is remembe*
?d that this will count Into millions
hroughout the country, the sum will
?e very large.
No one Is to understand these
itamps are to take the place of the
-egular postag, stamps but are used
n addition to the regular postage.
The .stamps are on sale at Dr.
iardy's Drug 8tore. How can we
lo more good than by this means at
his season of the year?
