while the Christmas spirit is upper most
 What a fine town We would have if it could always be the way it will be today, Everyone would be pull ing together for a great mutual at tainment-the building up, of real city, a city free of petit and picayun-
 ish differences working against the progress of the city.
 Out in San Francisco at one time a spirit dwelt among her people akin to the Christmas spirit. It was called the spirit of the earthquake" and it was at time when men of low and high degree recognized in the other brother in the purest and finest sense of the word. The cause in this instance of this splendid spirit was mutual sorrow. Those were the
 grandest days, though the biackest. in the history of that city, when the rights of the poorest man were as well defined aud as kesniy recognized as those of the millionaire San Fran. ciscans now point back to the day ! when the spirit of rAs earthquake" was supreme whenever any effort Is
 made to rally the people in common cause.
 If there is any man in the world who knows of Christmas and who is incapable of entering into its spirit,
 human man and his fate is a pitiful one. If there is anyone who has not read Dickens Christmas Carol he should procure it at once. He tells of miserable old man who had for long shut out of his life the spirit of Christmas. He was confronted with the Spirit of Christmas Past and the Spirit of Christmas Present, and, dis. gruntled though he was, such an i'm pression was made upon him that he entered into the gaities of Christmas afterwards and came to realize what a blank ms He nad been.
 Today is to be day when every person should try ill some man. ner to make the pathway of life just a little more pleasant, little less thorny, for his fellowman, and to every man, to greater or less ez tent. will come that opportunity.
