CHRISTMAS
Why do we celebrate Christmas?
From the manner in which maify
celebrate it we would think there
-was evidently a misunderstanding as
to what it signified. Last Sunday
night Rev. d. L. Martin, Rector of
_ _ the Episcopal Church, delivered a
Mesa timely sermon on this subject,
and very, vividly brought out-^fe
natation. ^ .
Christmas, which 7iT the?time we
celebrate as the birth of Jesus, the
greatest (gift this old world has
ever received. It should be a time
of sincere worship?a happy- Christ'
na<| not a merry Christmas, bat to
n^aat of us it simply means a big
dinner with loved ones at home. It
Shaald be a time when we give
thought to our Manner of living,
<dbs an inventory and see if we are
really thankful for the birth of
Jaaaa, if we are willing to do as the
Master did, go "about doing good,"
mfcfcing ttie world' bettfer A>r our
having lived in it aa He did.
On Thursday morning let us see
if we can not find some one who
had little to make them feel thankful
for the joyful <l?y \ j?nd provide
far them. Really, did you Cvcr -try
this method of bringing joy? Try
it, and you will conclude that old
raying, "it is more blessed to give
than to receive" is literally true.
THE IJMIT
Some time back it was the style ,
fev the young girls?and old girls,
toe, to cut them short at both ends,
ju fact some cut them so short that
nfien they Crossed their legs you
oonldd see the dimples in the knee,
and we said not a word, simply gave
them a look?possibly two, smiled
and passed on. Then they tried
"laiickers," blouse shirt with pants
like men wear, and several other
styles which were equally as ridiclaous,
and still, wi? said not a word.
But when it conies to niakine thoir
toilet in church, why, it simfply gets
one goat. When the preacher is
praying, or delivering his sormon,
to see one of these sweet young .
things pull oat her. vanity box and
proceed to powder her face end arrange
her toilet?well, if we were
preaching we would quietly tell that
young person that we would excuse
' her and she might retire to the
ladies room and complete her toilet.
Honestly, we do not think the
young girls mean any disrespect, for
they are young and just aa pure as |
the old time mother, bat they simply
do not think, or it n*iy be they are
Hce most of as, love notoriety.
How many of us have done foolish
"things just to get on the front page,
and that maybe is just what they do
it for. Anyway, just one word,

We, the members of the Bereen
class of the Bethel Baptist church,
do deeply feel the loss and miss the
handshake and cheerful smile with
which he greeted m on every occasion.
We are at a loss to find words
which express our love and admiration
for a man who has lived such
a beautiful and influential life.
, His life was like the flowers which
he so dearly loved and worked with,
he gathered from them the sunshine
and beauty and radiated it to mil
those with whom he came in contact.
His personal appearance and character
were like a bright blooming
flower of the field. This flower has
been plucked but the beauty of its
life has made the world sweeter.
iHowever deeply we feel the loes,
we bow in humble submission to
Him who doeth all things well.
