YULE TIDE.

1t is gratifying to know that few
in the west could not have cheerful
Christmas this year. The sad tale
of the crowded east is different.
There Is lots of the most awful pow
erty there, showing that the blind
ones Of our country can less abide
the results Of years of bad financial
legislation than can the brawny west,
and our hearts go out to the suffer
ing.
Christmas is celebrated in nearly
all civilized countries, and each have
their different and peculiar form.
We never see the old yule log here,
except in story, but the fancy
picture Of its blazing and ruddy glow
on the open CRATE can warm our
hearts almost as well as il we were
with the merry ones who gathN
round it at the lighting. Scandinavia
is truly the land of the yule log, of
Christmas stories and legends OF
Thor and Odin.
To christians the time brings home
that old night in the eastern land
when the star of Bethlehem blazed
from the heavens in glory to announce
the Christ was born, and, though
the origin of Christmas really dates
back into pagan rites, to him who
healed the sick the festival has been
sacred through the ages since. A
few weeks ago there were many hun.
dreds who, upon seeing similar heal
ing phenomena produced by Mr..
Schlatter at Denver, were inclined to
believe the return to earth of him
whose cruci6xion created new era
for the world had come to pass, but
were deferred from belief by the
denial of the man of miracles him
seif.
Were all the sacred and christian
elements which cling around Christ
MSS removed, the human race could
The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1895-12-26

not spare it on account Of the kind
charity and closer ties it engenders,
that is il the latter is not solely due
to its sacred character, which the
majority OF us will take as true.
Christmas-time opens the hearts of
all, charity to the poor becomes at its
height, generosity between friends
and relatives is then the broadcast and
even the most sordid heart is warmed
into some token of remembrance to
some one through blood or incident
the nearest to him. Another class
spends a few cents for small gifts to
kith, kin or friend and then spends
the rest for good drunk for himself
In the sixteenth century drinking
was distinctively the order Of the
day, and some folks are inclined to
grumble because Christmas is not now
celebrated as their distant ancestors
celebrated it; but if the grumblers
would hunt through the old books
which tell about the Christmas times
OF long ago, they would probably be
very well satisfied with the existing
condition of affairs.

In the Citizen last week, and perhaps
got some satisfaction out OF It.;
but - far as results, harmful to the

the true one of mere words. We
might turn and impute to Mr.. Fletcher
all the absence of cerebrum and

1t would hardly be true, because he
has some intellectual qualities that he

Judgment were right, and, were it not
for his soured and snArling DISPOSE
tion, he would not be harmful TO a
community. There is no inducement
TO engage with him, as no profit
could accrue to ourselves and moth
Ing We might say could injure him.
So he may have the field of heat and
wrath to himself. Our only object
in mentioning the matter is to call
his attention to the misstatement, not
deliberate OF course, that he is owing

The ministers OF the east are
stomping in the pulpit and crying
out against war. At the same time
all other causes combined have not
made as many wars IN the last 1900
years as has the different array Of
creeds. But that fact is neither here
nor there as bearing on new strug-
gle. War is awful, and to be avoided
tt it can honorably. Christianity
