Phe short item about smallpox in
our last issue has caused comment.
The facts don't call for even a scare.
Jesse and Oliver Tice have been work
ing in lumber camp at Grand Marias.
A man came into camp who had been
exposed to smallpox, and panic en-
sued with prospects of quarantine of
all. Rather than stand that the boys
skipped for home. To avoid any and
all possible danger-and allay fears
the lads voluntarily quarantined them
seles in vacant house near their pa
rents home. The possibility of them
taking the disease or giving it to 9TH
ers is too thin for healthy scare.
Those attending the M. p. church
last Sunday evening had the pleasure
Of listening to q very interesting Christ
mas address given by Rev. j. b. Keith,
and founded on Luke 2:l9. The pastor
drew a very vivid and pleasing picture
OF the wondrous scene at Bethlehem
on that first Christmas night in the
world. He spoke of the annuncia-
ton of the angels to the shepherds,
the music from heaven, and the COM
ing of wise men, who paid kingly
honor to the babe in the manger. The
speaker said that while now we had no
star to guide us to Jesus, we did have
the Holy Spirit, who would lead us all
to bow in submission to the King of
Kings.
