HOW NOT TO CELEBRATE CHRIST

II has been said that the American
pcop!c rave fewer holidays ana hno"

all rnankind-but occasion Tor the IONS
terous outbursts Of tumultuous and IRA
tioual noise. like the tale told by an
idiot-fuu of sound and fury, signiiying
nothing.
The noise has become a nuisance. We
are glad to see that steps are being taken
10 moderate its extravaganza. There Is
neither purpose nor desire TO limit any

mend itself at once to those who are IN

buoyant youth, but at the same time rec
ognize that age and inirmity are en-
titled to some consideration.
