From Another Correspondent
Another stone has been added to the
pyramid of time from whence the jour
neymen of earth may look back upon the
plane of life and reflect on its usefulness
or its fruitlessness. The Christmas time
is the one time of year when the rancor
and malice of men soften; when the wan
derer from home and friends turns his
face toward the hearthstone and the
memories of youth fill him with recollec-
tions that make him nearer the image of
Him whose birth we commemorate. In
Caldwell this has been most happy and
we'll observed occasion. All the churches
held services and the children
who were not blessed with homes and
plenty land there are few SUCH were
made happy by the various churches and
Sunday schools.
