Christmas.

This is word that will never grow old or
stale. TO the young il brings JOY, and 10 the
mature in years il brings reflection, to the aged
it brings thoughts of the flight of time and the
uncertainty Of life. Above the almanac or tho
calendar or the family record, Christmas marks
the march Of time towards the grave and The
final! judgment. The young never think of
this and only rejoice in the coming of Santa
Clause with his big heart and ubiquitous
charity, spreading his gifts among the rich and
poor aud bringing pleasure TO many hearts 1t
is period when The rich open their purses,
clohc aud feed the destitute, going about doing
good us the loving Lord, whose birth the day
marks. Tho observance OF The day through
at4es, VI
afford one, Of The strongest evidences of The
truth of Christianity. Peace on earth and
good will TO man como rolling down through
centuries with force il has on no other occn-
sion. Those who think reflect on the past and
determine TO correct their errors and short
comings and 10 improve their morals. Those
who never think make it day of rcvclry and
sinful pleasures. Both have their cause of ioy
in the sparing os their lives and health and
celebrate tho day in their own way. Its OBJ
seryancc is rs wide rs civilization extends and
as lasting as time itself. The yu!c log of old
times, the frolicking and carousing on the day
is moro honorcd in the breach than in the
observance and grows less every year. In time
it will pass away and the day and week will be
observed in fitting way for the purpose they
commemorate.
Has not our Town great cause Of joy? While
famine and pcsticnce have dcs9la,cd many
cities and towns of the world in the past year;
while tho sword has cut of its thousands in
some countries; while earthquakes, fires and
accidents have overcome many, VIC have enjoyed
health, peace and comparative prosperity. We
doubt if our town and county ever enjoyed
greater exemption from disease than during tho
past year. Only few years ago there were
weeping wives and mothers and husbands on all
hands, but this year VIC have enjoyed our full
share of "pcacc on earth and good will to man.
While then VIC have not prospcrcd SO much in
purse as we could wish, we have enjoyed a
higher blessing in the health of our pcopc
Let us remember this is largely due TO a
thorough system Of policing and never again
neglect the observance Of the rules of health
If We continue to use the means to this end we
will be blessed with both health and prosperity
nor should any one forget what is due TO The
Goldman, who gave his lie that we might live,
in the observance Of His day This will bring
us another and greater blessing in the salvation
OF our souls and those of our children.
