St. Peters Church.

A Christmas tree, ladened with good
things, will greet the children of St.
Peters Episcopal Church Saturday
afternoon at o'clock. In conjunction
with the tree, there will be a suitable
programme for the occasion, and the

church always are.

THE impression is growing at Wash
ington that the peace treaty will be dis.
posed of at the present session. The

strong, and the minority is becoming

on the treaty without great delay, post
poning the question of the disposition
of the Philippines until after they have
come into our possession.

A Merry Christmas.

Let us not altogether overthrow the
Santa Claus myth, for an immense
moral influence dwells in it. The be-
lief which is very general among chill
dren, that his favor depends upon their
good behavior, has an unequalled sooth-
ing power over rebellious dispositions.
II they believe that the wise saint has
his own recording angel, is there any
harm in the quaint superstition? We
ourselves subscribe to sillier ideas.

two deeds. Let us be wider than our
own theology, so that no limitations of
Divine mercy set up by human imagin-
ing shall satisfy us. Let us refuse to
think of God as one whose movements
and will and power can be hedged
around by the DEGREES of any one man
or any council of men. Let us declare
that the unmeasured might seen and
wondered at by the heather, was less
than immeasurable mercy.
Ut HROW out of the book of your re
, Il membrance all uncancelled debts
of ill-will. AS the enshrouding
snow spreads the mautel of purity over
stained and weary nature, let the dark
stains of unkind thought vanish from
your heart beneath permanent man
tie of charity towards all. Set hard
your heel upon the canker-wOrm of
envy. Fling into the flowing stream of
life for others the best that you have.
No responsibility attaches to us for the
dees of which we are incapable. But
remember that even the narrowed way
must be filled, or we prove quite I'M
worthy of limited opportunities. If per-
chance, lifes power is great within you,
live largely.
II AXE no sorrOwing world around
N you, just because you are heavy
within. Sorrow will dwell in the
castle of your heart, until some other
stronger motive drives it out. Let that
motive be to live worthily of the one for
whom you sorrow and the heart will rise
from oppressive thought to be express
sive of an ideal, grand, hopeful, pur-
poseful, worthy; neither power on
earth can turn a noble purpose from its
final accomplishment somewhere, some
day, nor power in heaven will fail to
note the aspiration. Perchance the
sorrow is not for the noble dead, but for
an ignoble past look no longer back
ward but forward, this Christmastide.
n LONG, long rest remains to the
A rest remains to you; so swing
out with straining effort and sweaty
brow, for the evening of life draws on
apace. After your day will be others
and men and women as good as you to
work in them. So look neither back
ward for earlier standards to excuse
your own shortcomings, nor forward
with doubt as to whether the task I'M
done will be taken up. Bend to your
own. This is Gods world or no ones
and the majestic progress of humanity

will not cease because your own work
ends.

hearts. But the great progress i;
grandly sure. If for each of us to at
tain our highest hopes and accomplish
all we set out to do is life as it ought t.
be, then life, as it is, is not worth living
for the full fruition comes to none o
us. Bat if to join the great procession
of all the WORTHLESS who have gotter
some small particle of good and ther
flung it freely into the common fund o
humanity, makes life seem dignifieC
and estimsble-that enjoyment will no
be denied to any who will partake.

christmas FhougAts

CHRISTMAS, like the human race, is
IL a survival through change. All
northern peoples, back further
than we can trace, have, in vague way,
understood that the rising of the sun
further and further north after mid
winter was promise of the triumph of
light and heat over the cruel ligors of
the cold, consequently they flung them
selves with complete abandon into a
celebration that from its very wildness
was an endeavor to express the import
ance they attached to the sun above
them. The somewhat worldly-wise old
fathers Of the modern church grated
upon the earlier cele bration their own
later one, in which the Creator sup
glanted the creature as worshipful.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1898-12-23

IIOW poetic was their thought! The
n sun of righteousness by His dec
laration of the fatherhood of God
and the brotherhood of man, was to
melt away the superstitions that chilled
the human heart; and where woe and
waste once held sway there should I'M
der His benign influence spring up a
very garden of the Lord. The heather
worshiped the material but they set up
for worship the spiritual. The result
we know. The wild orgies of the early
days have given place to the beauty of
fireside joys. Christmas, therefore,
marks the growth and change of hui
mainly away from the noisy and tenn
poral, onward to the quietly gOou and
eternal.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1898-12-23

IN taking this view of Christmas, it
is right to understand how much
more is expected from those who
see than from those who were blind.
We have carried over into our day the
signing pine tree as an emblem. We
have feastings also. But beyond this
there is in our modern celebration the
sanity of rest, whose sweetness is only
fully known by those who toll. We al
so try to express not only to our neigh
bors and clansmen (as they did, but al
so to all men of all classes hearty good
will, in which there is no hypocrisy.
Yet in all this advance there is nothing
to boast of.

The Episcopal Election.

One OF the most interesting cam
palgns ever held in Iowa, except those
political, has just closed with the cleo
ton of DR.. Morrison. of Chicago. as
Bishop of the Episcopal church of Iowa.
The contest has been an exciting one
and the papers where there are large
Episcopal parishes have teemed with
various accounts of the progress of the
ante election fight. The contest was
begun in the summer, the first climax
was reached in September when after a
number of ballots DR.. Green, of Cedar
Rapids, was elected Bishop. A large
number of those present refused to
sign the necessary letter of Endorsement
to the House of Bishops and DIR. Green
resigned to abide the result of a second
convention which met this week at
Cedar Rapids. During the interim be-
tween the two conventions both sides
were hard at work. Those opposed to
DIR. Green secured the services of a
detective in order to obtain his record
and many things were read which if
substantiated would place the Rev.
Green outside the bounds of respect
able society. These charges were read
but not proven, and it seems that here
in a great injustice was done. We do
not believe DR.. Green will rest under
these charges. If he is innocent he
should have recourse either to courts of
law or of the church. DR.. Morrison is
doubtless a good man and under the
circumstances his selection was prob
ably wise one. The Episcopal church
of Iowa has, however, through all this
display of dirty linen, suffered blow
from which it will take years to re-
cover.

Same Old Story.

The Bulletin has discovered some
consolation in the recent republican
victory. 1t is the time holored dis
covery made by democrats after every
defeat, that by the aid of fraudulent
elections in the south their party has a
majority of the popular (?) vote. This
fact is jubilantly brought forward by
democratic organs after every national
election. When their attention is call
ed to the fact that the vote of the south
is not the vote of the majority, they
first deny it and when confronted by
statements made by their own congress-
men that this is the case, they eat their
denial and say they do not care if it is
SO, "the niger has no business to
vote" The Bulletin will doubtless go
through this same feat of mental aero
battles, but in the end it will have to adj
NIT that the elections in the south are
not honest elections and that if they
were the popular vote of the country
would be overwhelmingly republican.

1t seems that the present county at

is to receive salary of S775 and the
county is to furnish him with room,
light, fuel, stationery, etc in addition.
AS another official will have to be
crowded out of the court house to make
way for Colonel Economy the first sum
which he will save (from) the people

table, retell his dirty stories and
chuckle over the amount of the peoples
money he is saving for himself.
