THE MAN WHO SEES
By Dr. CHARLES STELZLE
The biggest man on any job is tbc one who turn ideas. In facing ,
oar problems—and this applies to personal matters as well as to
national affairs there are four things that we mast do with them; l
and fourth, we mast solve them. ;
The trouble with moat of as that we reverse this process. This
is what usually happens in Industry, in Politics, in International
Affairs. We get together and immediately we determine that
“something must be done.” And because we haven’t any ideas
about the matter we finish up by passing a set of resolution which
some phrase-maker has prepared, refer the whole matter to a
“special committee,” and then we go home feeling that the job
has been finished. But it hasn’t even been begun. It takes a long
time for the committee to report, if it ever does so.
It is interesting that when somebody does present a real idea
it acts like an electric spark. The crowd comes to life, and every
thing clears up very quickly. The man that stands out, therefore,
is the one who has ideas—the man who can see the problem. He may
not be a great student, he may not be able to make a great speech,
but if he can “see”—to use an old phrase objectively, if he is a

A French Christmas is a w
dren's Christmas. The Frencn aanta,
“Pere Noel,” comes on Christmas
eve with gifts to pack into empty
shoes. In southern France the burn
ing of the Yule log is a ceremony
when wine is poured over it as it
biases in the hearth.

Christmas is located in Florida,
Kentucky, Maine and Arizona. All

Bethlehem Unchanged
In Twenty Centuries
Bethlehem, “royal David'*
city,” is still a city set on a hill.
It is about six miles from Jeru
salem.
It is a city of flat-roof homes
which look cozy enough, and its
narrow streets have an air of
friendliness.
More Christians live in Bethle
hem than in any other town tat
Palestine. On its hillsides you
may still see shepherds with their
flocks, while blinking overhead
are the everlasting stars.

LUCILE PARKER «u stand
ing at the door of her apart

gaoua New Year’s setting—the heav
ily packed snow, the crisp seasonal
atmosphere and the moon shining
down upon it all!
“What a night!" thought she.
What fun it would be to Join in the
Now Year’s celebration for once.
This she had not done for some
time, as her husband had always
attended the annual stag party and
had never thought she minded.
Now when he kissed her good-by
and happily rushed off, she some
how felt a stifling vacancy in her
heart, and longed to go with him.
The stag party, ablaze with
lights, was in full swing, the very
air permeated with the rip-roaring.

Streamers and decorations hunt
from walla and coiling, also ten
ners tearing all sorts of quotations
such as “No Ladies;” “Night of
Nights;” and so on.
At the very height of the celebra
tion with the music raging in thun
derous tones, the door opened, and
in rushed a band of masqueraders
waving banners, blowing terns .and
scattering confetti.
The orchestra Started playing—
“My Wife’s Gene ft the Country,
Hurrah!”
That was too mate! The masque
raders pulled the ftasks from their
faces and the studied stags beheld
their own wives.
Before they knew It each one had
a partner and was dancing merrily,
regardless of entangled streamers
and confetti, regardless of the un
expected interruption, regardless of
everything, only conscious of the
New Year’s Spirit.
