The Y. n. c. Il.

New Years day will be celebrated at
the Y. NJ. G. A. with an open house
all day. From morning until night
every part of the building will be open
to visitors and all who wish to come
and to inspect the building and rooms
will be heartily welcomed. This is the
first time since the opening of the
building that the dormitory rooms
have been opened to the public and
many will satisfy their curiosity to
see the bachelor quarters at the "Y."
In the afternoon Brunton's orchestra

and perhaps their wives. In the even
ing a program will be given consist

possible will come to the building and
see what we have Those who have
been here, and who are in the habit
of coming, will be welcomed just as
heartily, but we especially want new
comers to get familiar with us and
the work.

Our trouble in this great matter is
that we too often carry it to the
philosophers and creed-mongers, when
we ought to carry it to the Son of
Man. You cal in Plato, or Buddha, or
some super wise German pessimist,
whose advice will be to Strangle your
individuality, as blundering intruder
in a universe of law; not to humble
yourself, but to crush yourself out. 1t
is the old ascetic fallacy, the dream of
the Neo-Platonist and the Buddhists,
that it should be the aim of all devOut
effort on our part to get this self
hood of ours somehow swamped in
ture and lie of our persona ity, crushed
down and submerged in the impersonai
"a 'lness," which this universe is.
Not so the teaching of Jesus. He
taught that the individuality of man
was to be saved. that is to say divin
lied and not crushed out, that the
creative goodness of God had the per-
sonality of man in view from the first
as the crowning product of its infinite
resource: that toward this it had pa
tiently labored its way up through the
fire mists and concretingi nebula of
the evolving worlds, coming out in hu

destinies of the Elks' carnival next
week, the near approach of the
Christmas season having softened the

Now the committee say they have,

Many Poor to
Get Dinner

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-According to
officials of the Salvation army no less
THAN a quarter million people will
Tartake of the bounty of the Salvation
iarmy at Christmas dinners to be held
tomorrow in every large city and town
in the country.
In New York, tomorrow's dinner will
be more liberal than ever before and
no hungry man, woman or child will
be refused a square meal. The collec-
tions this year have been very large
and today the coins are rattling into
the army's street-cOrner kettles in
merry shower of copper and silver and
Igold.
Besides the dinner there comes
jwithin the scope of the serving divi-
lsion's duties the no less important dis
tributon of Christmas baskets. These
have been made ready, filled with tur
key, bread and all the other eatables
in evidence at the dinner. During
Christmas morning the baskets will
distributed to poor people of every
section of the city. The giving is not
done prOmiscuOusly. however, for
members Of the army have been max
ing Investigations several weeks with a
view of discovering who were deserv-
ing recipients. Lists of names and ad-
dresses have been turned in at head
quarters and numbered tickets issued
to each family.
In cases where the family is unable
to call or send for the basket, it will
be delivered by the army. Each one
will contain, in addition to the eatables
"a pretty Christmas card and previous
be displayed on the tables. The charity
of the army does not end with the dis
tributiOn, though. During the few days
after Christmas the same families will
be visited by officers assigned TO
that duty, who are instructed to see
if anything in the way of fuel and
food is needed to tide the poor homes
through the rest of the winter
There is to be no artificial limit on
the hunger of the Salvation army's
guests. Those who go to the dinner
may eat just as long and just as raw
enously as they like. If they want five
cups of coffee and three plates of tur-
key. they will be satisfied. After the
tables have been set the waiting null
titude will march to their seats at a
given signal. and the feast will be on.
Clad in white aprons, the army men
and women who have been selected to
wait on the tables will serve the
steaming coffee and turkey, and then
the sweets, as fast as the guests de-
mand new portions. The arrange
ments are, so systematic, it is SAID.
that no matter how fast or how hun
gry the feasters may be they will not
have to wait more than a few seconds

BERLIN, Dec. 24.-With his an
nual income of $lo,OOO,OOO so exhaust
ed by extravagance~ that he, is on the
verge of BANKRUPTCY. Emperor William
did not allow his poverty to interfere
with his annual Christmas distribu-
ton. Mounted on a big horse, the
kaiser today dashed through the
grand park at Sans Souci, distributing
freshly minted ten and twenty mark
pieces among all the poor people he
met.

And they found the babe lying in
the manger.-Luke, ills.
Sheep and cattle, fish Of the sea and
fowls of the air-it is noticeable how
the dear old gospel is embedded in
the simplicities and pathos of ele-
mental life.
AS a babe, the king of the Lowly''
is laid in a cattle stall, and the artistic
have painted the meek eyed animals
as complacent in their guest. From
there on, we scent the free breath of
the Syrian orchards and hear the swish
of the sick e in the harvest fields of
wheat The soWer goes forth to SOW,
and the predatory bird is lowering for
plunder in the uncovered burrows be-
hind him, or for the wayside morsel

A sense of peasantry plainness and
rustic nobility, keeps company with us,
as we read of this man, in his anoma-
lous career from the manger to the
cross There is the fragrance of the
new mown hay and the blush of the
vintage over it all.
Somehow we cannot help feeling
that the childs flight into Egypt has
carried him into an alien environment
in which a personality like his could
never have been born. Tradition has
it that the fugitive family halted at
the pyramids, and sought shelter un-
der the shadow of the sphinx. There
is meaning in the episode, pathetic
prophecy, so to speak, of that great
day in the future when this most an
cient civi ization of all the world shall
have the Christ-oh for oracle, dis
placing the sphinx, and become the
literary emporium of his gospel to the
ends of the earth.
But the native habitant of the
Christian religion was not there and
could not have been there among a
people by whom the ancestry of the
Nazarine had been cruelty enslaved,
and from whose expressions and sor-
ceries they had been delivered by the
of a mighty arm.
For that matter, as we see it now,
not even the royal chambers of the
city of Jerusalem could have witnessed
the advent Of this child, since those
chambers were the seats of Roman
luxury and corruption, and must have
yielded the Galilean infant an easy
prey to Herod's avenging sword.

Found Remains
OF Early Pioneer

What was evidently the last re-
mains of an old miner who prospected
in this country in the early days. was
found recently by r. c.. Tull on a
ranch on which he is the foreman. six
miles south of town on the telephone
road to Milton. The find consisted of
a crumbling skull, of which only the
jawbone was well enough preserved to
take intact.
Mr. Tull was digging a cellar when
MS spade struck something hard and
upon investigation he found the skull
SO rotten was much of the bone, how
ever, that the skull crumbled into dust
upon attempt to remove it. The left
side of the lower jawbone, set with six
teeth still was solid, however.
In this same place not long ago, an
old gun barrel of the earliest type,
was found. Previous to that, another
workman on the place found the femur
and humerus of a human skeleton. He
also found an old style single barreled

open at that time and was on the old
trail. 1t is supposed that thepoor

So the few relics, bones and old
weapons, are probably the testimony
of life given in the early history of
the country for the development and
opening of the great Walla Walla val
