To tkeiPeople of Kemper:
{ 1t would be the neglect of a duty
which I owe"to the voters of the
county il I were to fail to express
my appre citation of the support
which I received in my recent can
didacy to represent the county in
the next Legislature.
1 did not receive enough votes to
place my name on the ticket for the
second primary, but taking into con-
sideration the disadvantages under
which I made the canvass, that is:
by being almost wholly unacquaint-
ed in all that portion of the county
west of DeKalb, and not having suf-
fcient time to make a thorough can
vass in that section, my most san
guine expectations could have given
me only a scattering vote there.
Therefore it would have required an
almost solid vote on this side to have
carried me through.
It is not because I appreciate the
support of those on the outside less
than that of the voters on the inside
of my own District that l wish to
say something to the latter which Is
not applicable TO the others; but it
Is ON. account of q, principle which in
my. opinion is of inestimable value
in our politics-the, principle which
prompts a voter to cast his, vote for
a man, not because he is simply his
friend and not because he has been
solicited to do SO, but on account OF
the fact that he thinks he is exercis-
ing the privilege in a manner which
is to the best interests of the COM
monwealth.

chanoed History of World.

The history of the world prior to
Christ is a history Of barbarism, cruel.
ty and bloodshed Read the history
of Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome
and you read a history Of vice, deg
radiation and crime. A history that is
written in blood and iniquity. The
classic Greeks and tenacious+Romans
worshiped multitude of gods. Even
the inhabitants of Syria had gone
astray until it was declared by the
prophet. Our worthy ancestors, the
Teutonics, were a semibarbarous
people without literature, without gov.
eminent, without refinement and with
out religion, but when they received
the glad tidings of the gospel Of
Christ their habits were changed,
their manners refined and their civi.
lization improved. Wherever this gos-
pei is proclaimed it is as a we'll of
water spripging up into everlasting
life.

but the gift was Himself-His life!
Silver and gold had He none to give,
but He gave health to the diseased,
sight to the blind, hope to the despair

not only by giving but by sharing, by
undergoing, not only for us but with
us, all our griefs and temptations.

it, we must not only give but give
wisely. Whether it be trinket, a

The spirit of Christmas! What is
the spirit of Christmas? Is 1t the
generous spirit, the spirit of giving?
Yes, but that is not all. There will be
millions of gifts made between now
and the new year, and they will not
all express the Christmas spirit.
Some will be made out of pockets Of
plenty and thus entail no personal
service; some will be made under
compulsion of supposed necessity.
How many people give things at this
time because they think they must.
They must give to those who, they
hope or fear, will give to them. 1t is
taking has become such feature of
our Christmas celebration because
the mere gift is incapable of express
ing the spirit of this occasion, and the
occasion itself has become burden
to many because it has been so much
abused. 1t is not by giving lavishly
that we honor Christ, whose birth we
celebrate, but by sharii 6 unselfishly
every good thing we possess. This
puts the best things of Christmas
within reach of every human life and
enables every human being however
poor in goods to give generously of
whatever else he has. We all have
much. Is money denied us, then let
us give what is better, a word to
cheer, smile to awaken hope, some
thing out of our hearts treasure. Who
would not rather get a cordial mes
sage from a friend that would express
his thought and appreciation, than
to get a dollar trinket? What heresy
to think that we cannot express an
unselfish love at Christmas time e&-
cept by lavish use of money The
spirit of Christmas is the spirit of

Y veal to us a new life which
l y y y begins with death. He has
made known to us our origin and des-
tiny and the means of attaining 1t.
He has brought not only light to our
intellects, but also peace to our hearts,
that peace which springs from the
knowledge of the truth and the hope
of the eternal life.
He has given benediction to the
home by proclaiming the unity sane
tity and the indissolubility of mar
riage. The wife is no longer the slave,
but the partner of her husband; she
is no longer tenant at will, but the
mistress of her household she is no
longer confronted by usurping rival,
but she is the undisputed queen of the
domestic kingdom.
The aged poor are no longer at the
mercy of heal tless masters. They are
not cast aside like worn-out machine.
Their life is sacred like that of in
fants, and they are comfortably pro-
vided for in institutions now spread
throughout CErlStendOm.
The tender and compassionate spirit
Of Christ has caused orphan asylums
and hospitals TO spring up and bloom
in every land. There is no phase Of
human misery and suffering that does
not find solace and relief in these es-
adjustments.
Human slavery has, at last, melted
away before the effulgent rays of the
gospel. To borrow with a slight para
phrase the words of distinguished
writer, we can say with truth that
a slave stands redeemed, regenerated
and disenthralled as soon as he plants
his foot on the sacred soil of Christen.

The gospel proclams the dignity Of
labor. Judged by its standard, every
honest employment is honorable, how
mental soever it may be.
Christianity has been a peacemaker
to the nations. By her beneficent in
fluence she has made wars far less
frequent than they used to be under
pagan regime.
Let us not grow weary of the salu-
tary restraints of Christian life. Let
us not cast wistful glances toward
Egypt, from whose bonds we have
been rescued, nor long for its flesh
pots. Let us glory in our Christian
heritage; and. above all, let us not
be guilty of the mockery of leading
pagan lives while making profession
of Christianity. recalling to mind what
the apostle said to our gentle fore
fathers: "Ye were once darkness; but
now light in the Lord. Walk as the

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if. the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary tor use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

A New Christmas.

Every Christmas should be a new
center of Christ-life in this world.
That is what Jesus meant when he
said, The kingdom Of God is within
you" He wants us to be so filled with
his life that his influence shall pour
out through our lives for the brighten
ing and sweetening Of the world. He
wants us to start a new Christmas
everyday, wherever we are.-J. R. MI

The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all Injurious chemicals is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffen-
er makes half the usual quantity of
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.
