in building the republic, and with heroes
worthy Of pioneer days, she is unlocking her
great ,torchousc of carbon and sending con
crete warmth to the iircsidCs, and condensed
power to the industries of the country.
And the promise is-shc will still be no
laggard. She will still grow with the Coun-

realm of economy, wherein the salvage of
individual liberty is paramount, she will
treasure her possessions with sleeplcss watch.
Without indulging millennial dreams, or
hoping to see Arcadia restored, she will con-

which every citizen may join. The spirit Of
the hour is one of religious fcictation and
patriotic pride, spiritual inspiration and a
home-loving intoXicant, and twice a perfect
Joy to every Christian Allcganian. Under
such auspices it can hardly happen that the
patriot can fail to be by SO much a Christian,
and it is impossible that the Christian can SO
far forget his Masters exemplary obedience
to the powers that be- as to incur even the
suspicion of indifference to the import of the
occasion,
Our heritage is y rich one. Whether rs
Christians or citizens, or both, it was won
by the suffering and martyrdom of those
whose achievements and character it is worth
our while to study and cNempHty.

Christmas AIIesany COuntyS Centennial Day.


The Christmas stars are in the skies
The stars that shone that grandest morn,
On Judahs plains, in GLAD surprise
That Christ on earth was born.
Thank God, the angels song" still rings
Across the land, across the sea
Thank God, that Chris is King of kings
To all eternity,
The Christmas stars from out the skies
Look down upon Il land of peace;
Thank God, their smlelike blessing lies
Where thrift and joy increase!
The years of toll and strife and pain,
That ushered in the county's birth,
Left some memorial not in vain
Upon the face of earth.
The blood our fathers bravely shed
In those heroic, early days,
Has blcst the land for which they bled
With crowns of joy and praise.
We boast Il hundred years to-day
A hundred years that God has blessed
Yet mourn we not they We passed away
We count to-day the best
Through all the hundred years there glows
The daWnng glory of this day;
The misty tints of pearl and rose,
After the morning gray,
Have deepcned into golden store
Of days where peace and plenty reign;
We boast our mountains treasure more,
And wealth of Drawn and BRAIN
Thank God for all his blessings bring.
Thank God for hope Of days to be
Ring, Christmas bells, for Christ is King
To all eternity
