THE UNIVERSAL HOLIDAY.

On the morrow the whole world viii
observe a holiday. In all climes, be-
yond all seas and in almost all tongues
men of all colors will give some rec
ognition to the birth of a babe who
came among men as the Prince Of
Peace, the Savior of Souls, the founder
Of the Christian religion. For nearly
1900 years the coming of this child
has shaped the course of nations and
directed the growth of civilization
until those peoples. who have followed
closest the precepts of his teachings.
have advanced the farthest in the ac-
complishment of Intellectual and ma
terial things.
In the abstract no other holiday can
compare to Christmas day in its sig
nificance. All others are local. They
belong to single nation, a single class
or single sect They are consequently
limited in the inspiration they can
give. But on Christmas day the ex-
hortations of hundreds of thousands Of
eloquent preachers from the pulpits Of
as many magnificent edifices and from
the columns OF as many publications
will lift up their millions upon millions
of fellow men to q better conception
OF the doctrine of Peace on Earth,
Good Will To Men,
In the concrete the observance Of
Christmas day is the most beautiful
OF all anniversaries or all customs.
Christian civilization which is the civil
ization of the world, has made of
Christmas children's day. The giving
of gifts as the Savior gave himself ami
charity toward all men cheers every
heart but no Christmas was ever real
without the carols and the joys of little
children. The prophecy that little
child shall lead thee has become the
dominating spirit of Christmas time.
The custom of buying gifts is. of
course, beautiful one and, even tho
the commercialism OF the age has tend
ed to make this gift giving business
rather burdensome it still remains an
uplifting custom for mankind to devote
the time and effort to sacrifice for 9TH
ers everywhere spent upon Christmas
shopping. But 1t is the little child who
is transported to other worlds by the
joys of Christmas. Who has not been
softened In his heart by the sight of
little children buying for others? Ana
the joys of the parent sharing the de-
lights of the children on Christmas
morning come nearer the Christian
ideal than any other inspiration know,
unto men. The love and affection of
the home. the devotion of the parent,
the willing, cheerful sacrifice of fathers
and mothers is what has made the
Christian religion hold among men and
Christian civilization possible in tn.
world. Hence it is that all of these bes.
sentiments are given their greatest In.
spiration on Christmas day, not on:y
among one set of people, one sect or one
nation but among all peoples of the
world. Such is the significance of
Christmas day.

THE CASE OF BeLlAIRs.

The. case of Bellairs, the Associated
Press correspondent whose story was
brought out by the Woods investiga-
ton. has a pitdful side. Bellairs, a
brilliant CORES pondent and writer, had
been a convict. He had done mis- time
and earned his freedom. Coming from
the penitentiary he hal found work
ard made himself place again. He
was correspondent at Havana for the
Associated Press, an institution that
selects men for their honesty and abili-
tissh. He had the confidence of the
American officials in Cuba and the en-
free to society. He lad covered the
fly in the amber. but 1t was still amber
and transparent.
Suddenly his old sin found him out.
The fact that ne had been a convict
came to the notice of the Associated
Press and his discharge followed de-
spite the general wish of the Cuban
officials for his retention. He had be-
