Xmas is over and only one drunken
man heard of within three miles Of
Tatesyille. am truly glad that this
is the case. 1t denotes a high type of
civilization. This is the way to cele-
brate the birth of Christ There are
lots of people who believe that Xmas is
a day set apart to get drunk. A man
who acts thus shows how much he
thinks of his Redeemer 1t is for the
need Of religion and education that
men celebrate Xmas with jug of whis-
key. If a man was properly taught
that this is the day that Christ came
in the world to reconcile him to God
and died to save him. When man
looks at it in this light he has no use
for the jug on Xmas
