SANTA CLAUS VS..
REAL CHRISTMAS
Minister Describes Proper
Manner to Celebrate
Birth of Christ.

Declaring that Christmas can have no
real meaning until vision Of 1t is be-
held through ones relation &c God, the
Rev. DR.. Roland Cotton Smith, rector
Of St Johns Episcopal Church. this
morning described the proper manner
in which the day, representing the birth
Of Christ. should be observed.
"a vision is simply the meaning OF
anything which comes home TO you, in
dividuaIIy," said DR.. Smith. Visions
must come TO every man II lie truly
lives At Christmas we should be joyful
and give one another presents, but, un-
til we have gone into the temple and
beheld a vision OF what the occasion
really is, we cannot enter into any
satisfactory celebration. II is all right
to have Santa Claus and foster all the
old customs that have descended TO US,
but don't call II Christmas until you
have beheId the vision which comes
only from God"
DR.. Smith said that the reason people
grew tired of the holiday before IL was
over and found il a dreary and useless
celebration was because they had never
had the experience with the vision IN
the temple.

or Mr.. North's employment by the
Wool Manufacturers Association,
would order Mr.. Whitman to return
10 Washington. Secretary Payne. of
the committee, explained today that
such action had become unnecessary

In closing the Rev. Sven spoke of

easily discouraged, with faith all things
