in singing the 'Hosannas" of the
solo.

minutes, when his sermon was

and the darkness awed him; the plain
seemed to meet the sky; he could see
only broken line on that clear dark
horizon where the roofs of Bethle-
hem, low and fiat, crowned the hill
top; his hand grew chilly in his

afraid. He spoke to the other shep-
herds, who sat or stood among the
1ocks:

awful gladness; and the shepherds
were sore afraid, for they thought the
Day OF the Lord was come. But the
angel smiled upon them. like the sun
shining I'm his strength, and spoke
like the voice of the sea for might,
yet sweeter than the turtle-doves
amid the cedars of Lebanon, and he
said unto them:
Fear not! For behold / bring you
good tidings of great Joy. which shall
be to all people For unto you is
born this day. in the city OF David. a
Saviour. which Is Christ the Lord
And this shall be n sign unto you:

GER"
Little Jacob heard these words, but
he knew them not, except the name OF
Messiah. for whom he often heard
his mother pray in the evening time
but now, while the glad tidings
sounded still. beholdi from the
bright depths of Heaven came angel
after angel, countless as the hidden
stars, and radiant as light itself; their
stainless ranks rayed outward from
the vast, calm shape of the Herald
Angel like means from the morning
sun, and with n great sound like the
flowing of some mighty stream, they
sung the song OF Heaven:
Glory to God in the highest! tSSl;
And on earth peace +S59l
Goodwill toward men.
The wondrous sound thrilled all
the high and glowing Heaven, and
then, still with strains of glory and
peace ringing above and falling
fainter and fainter to those below
rank folded in on rank, the Angel OF
the Lord leading upward, and the
awful splendor gathering up about
them, they scared into that glory, and
the glory shrouded their departing
cohorts, and the dark midnight sky
feebly starred now to the shepherds
smitten eyes, bent it's purple arch
again above unconscious earth.
David stopped and lifted Jacob in
his arms; neither of them could
speak, but old Simeon, the oldest OF
all the Bethlehem shepherds. bent
low, and, with uncovered head, began
the chant:
Q, come let us sing unto the Lord
Let us make a joyful noise unto the Rocl;
of our SalvatiOnl
With low voices they sang the Psalm
through. as they turned from the
plain toward Bethlehem, forgetful OF
their flocks and herds, caring for
nothing but to find the Messiah, the
baby in the manger, the Son OF God
And there indeed, in a rude cav.
ern, where the beasts of burden were
sheltered and their poor. masters fed
by the way-there, upon a shaken
wisp of straw, a very babe in the
flesh, lay the infant Christ, with His
awed and adoring mother kneeling
beside Him, and Joseph the carpenter
standing with folded hands, amazed
but faithful, beside the newborn
King of Israel.
And while the shepherds told their
wondrous tale. and they that were in
the inn heard it, and adored, Mary
shut up all these things in her heart,
and little Jacob gazed on the calm,
sad face of the Mighty Child, and
went away with a vision in his soul
that never left it while life remained.
And the shepherds returned, glor-
flying and praislng God for all the
things that they had heard and seen,
as it was told unto them.
This was little Jacobs Christmas.

NOTHING makes a prettier addition to achildrens
IN Christmas party than holly bomb, and it

with very little trouble expense
The bomb which is really huge tissue paper

pend it from the chandelier.
Each child is given an end of ribbon. and then
all dance round singing to the tune of the old carol
"The first great JOY that Mary had

wolves came; the night was still and
soft, the dark blue sky was all alight
with splendid stars, shining and gilt
tering as they wheeled slowly across
the sky-so slowly that little Jacob
could not see them move. He did
not speak much, for the stiffness was
like a finger on his lips, but he
watched the heavens with wondering
eyes, and when his father looked
down at him and smiled Jacob heard
him say softly:
The heavens declare the glory of God.
And the ornament shOweth His handi-
work
Day unto day uttereth speech.
And night unto night showeth knowledge.
Then Jacob began to wonder how
the days spoke; if it was with noisy
winds, or birds singing, or the sound
Of waters far off; and then he fell
into a kind of dream, leaning against
his fathers knee, for 1t was almost
midnight, and David had sat down to
rest.
The Calhoun chronicle. [volume] (Grantsville, W. Va.) 1883-1984, 1908-01-14

But suddenly, in one breathless
moment, both David and Jacob sprang
to their feet. and all the other shep-
herds crowded up to them with pale
faces, and open eyes. and trembling
knees; for in an instant, without
sound or sigh, the wide heavens were
flooded with light and glory, brighter
than the sun at noon the stars were
drowned in light. the radiance flowed
in waves OF splendor from mid-heaven
down to earth. And then. in the
deepest depths Of glory far above
their heads in the heart of all the
shining, appeared n great angel. with

CARNIVAL OF BLOOD

"AYTIANS are in the midst of a
carnival of blood. There is a
- reign of terror in Port au Prince.
The United States government has sent
cruiser and a gunboat promptly to
tho troubled island in order that Amer
lean interests may be protected. In a
world where conditions are SO far from
millennial that one never knows where
the next eruption of human passion
may cause violence and murderous riot
that need quelling by superior force, a
great and efficient navy is such an OBJ
vious necessity that one wonders how
anyone could ever imagine that we
could get along without it. We are
far, far away from perfection's sacred
height, we poor earth dwellers, and
while it is possible that with radi-
cal change of social conditions we
might be able to guarantee our own
good order, yet We would never be able
to depend on the behavior of our neigh
bors. Under present conditions we can
not even give a reasonable guarantee
of our own orderlness. The best we
can do for the community is to keep in

STUDY OF AMERICANISM

T OS ANGELES HERALD will glad
ly publish a list of schools. coll
-AA leges. universities, in which Amer
icanism is recognized and taught as a
course of study. We are aware that
there is a course in ciyics at the Uni
versity of Southern California. So far
so good. Who is the professor of Amer
icanism? We would like to print his
picture. Applicants for publicity on
the ground of their actual and prac-
! tical devotion to the cause of the first
principles which inspire this republic,
or are supposed to inspire it, and upon
which it was undoubtedly founded and
grounded, will please be careful to
avoid confusing Americanism with any
subordinate or auxiliary subject pre-
scribed for students and professed by
experts.
American history won't do. Most of
our American history books are mac
curate, but even the most accurate
won't do Special course lectures on
the constitution or on constitutional
history won't do. although it is highly
probable that if you were to halt one
hundred citizens that you met on the
street, send them TO a hall, and COM
pei them to undergo an examination
on these subjects, the number that
would obtain credit marks enough to
pass would be expressed by a neat
oval figure. Doubtless there are church
members who are not familiar with the
creeds of the religious organizations
to which they have given lifelong all
legiance. But whatever may be the
percentage of ignorant church MEM
bership, much greater is that of unin-
formed citizenship, and among the most
remarkably and most amazingly unin-
formed citizens are those of American
birth and upbrnging. AS we have, on
occasion, listened to the catechzlng Of
candidates for naturalization, we have
wondered how many American born
and bred men and women could answer
satisfactorily the questions proposed as
tests for candidates for naturalization.
OF one thing we are certain. There
would soon be an end of radicalism if
the country had as many constitutional
| colleges as it has business colleges.
Jeffersnian Democracy and the prin-
ciples OF unconscious or unavowed
Jeffersonian democrats like President
Roosevelt and Governor Black are
nearer to pure Americanism and unde-
filed than are those Of many leaders
we could name and platforms we could
of Americanism. trusts would be i'm
possible. They are entirely foreign to
the declared principles of this repub-
lie. They do not need special legisla-
tion. They are un-American. That's
enough!

DRY OLD KENTUCKY

=" ITH Bourbon county. Kentucky
w on the dry list it is time tC
be up and realizing that King
Alcohol's reign in the United States is
almost at an end. We can see clearly
why the Prohibition party was. politi-
cally speaking, a mistake. The strength
that the Prohibitionfsts scattered all
over the country should have been con-
centrated in the effort to introduce
Prohibition planks into the platforms
of the Democratic and Republican par
ties. If the Prohibitionists had made
their doctrines merely matters of prin-
ciple and had remained in the big polit-
ical parties in order to enforce them
the country might have "gone Prohib-
ition" before it was well aware of its
action. This is not idle talk. Strong
forces of Prohibition delegates at the
national conventions would have ac-
complished results. In the multiplied
ton of parties there is confusion.
Meanwhile congratulations to ole
