FIRST GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT

"He gave his only begotton SON."
The world stands upon the threshold
of that season of the year when the
thought of christendom day in the turns
to the most gladsom day in the annals
of recorded time---the birthday of the
Savior of the World
We may not be able with our finite
understanding to comprehend the height or
depth of the great plan which came forth
from the mind of the Infinite and which
comprehended the redemption of the en-
tire human race, but we find in the In
spired Word this passage of unmistak
able import: "For God so loved the
world, that He gave His only begotten
son that whoever believeth on Him should
not perish, but have everlasting life"
In these words we find an epitome of
the Divine plan The motive and the
reason are both set forth, and while we
may marvel over what was comprehended
in thatplan, we accept it as a great truth
and know that the emerging of the world
from darkness into light dates from the
hour when the Star of Bethlehem flashed
across the Judean sky
Jesus Christ was therefore Gods first
Christmas gift to sad and weary
world. No wonder that Heavens joy
bells rang! No wonder that gates of
Paradise seemed to open while angels
looked down on the scene
In that hour was born the ST t of
cheer peace on earth, and good ! to-
ward men which has neverN d.. outs
during all the nineteen centuries 'hich
when its splendor has seemed d med,
and when men appeared to forget the
sage, but on Christmas day itself, few
there are who do not count it a privi-
lege to journey in Imagination with the
wise men of the east, humble cradle in
the manger which the Christ child made
holy with its presence.
And so with the approach of another
anniversary of this sacred day the heart
of man is turned trward his brother with
an unusual tendesness. Loves kindles
a warmer fire upon the alters of the heart.
All the world is glad.
Christmas giving has long been and
will probobly continue chief charac-
teristic of the days observance. By
such means do love and friendship find
happy expression. But with it all let
us not forget the first great Christmas
gift, which came from the Father of
Lights with whom there Is neither vari-
ableness nor shadow of turning gift
which is ours not only for all time but
for all eternity as we'll.

1t has been some time since this part
of the country has been heard from

because there was nothing doing" but
from the fact that people of this commun-

molasses will average about seventy per
cent, potatoes are good. With the fancy
price that cotton is bringing people are
in as good circumstances, financially, as
usual perhaps better. People Of this COM

COmpounding Whisky.

Comrade j. P Shoemaker, Muncy.
Pa, who is an old distiller, and makes
pure rye whisky. has his opinions on
the Tariff and the Internal Revenue
laws. He wants the Tariff to be heavy
enough to get Uncle Sam sufficient rev
enue and surplus to build Navy and
give the ex-prisoners of war SO a day
He wants every man that makes gal :
lon of whisky to pay S1.10 revenue.
and no difference made as to what he
makes it of. He is not kicking about
the revenue that he has to pay, bu. he
thinks that the compoundcr should nav
the same.
Attorney-General Bonaparte SAYS
that there must be whisky enough in
every compound to make it real one,
and not mere semblance. The com
FOUNDER takes barrel of spirits and
adds prune juice and almost aay other
old thing except pure grain whisky
and will make 10 barrels out OF it.
Uncle Sam only gets about s4j revenue
out of the 10 barrels, whereas the real
distillers make 10 barrels out of grain
ana Uncle Sam gets S45 a barrel or
$3.50 for the 10 barrels. The compound
er Will sell his whisky for less than the
revenue. The manufacturers of pure
whisky sell to consumers private fami-
lies, and doctors. who must have genu-
Inc whisky. The most of the so-callaI
whisky sold over the bar will kill
quickly, and three drinks make - man
devil. If the compounder was made
to pay proper tax, the real distillers
would run six. nine, or IL months a
year instead of three, as at present.
and Uncle Sam would get s44 a day out
of us in place of the meager revenue at
present. The compounders are like the
butchers, who when they have a piece
Of spoiled meat will mix some other
meats with it and call it sausage. Why
not call 1t blended meat? This the
Pure Food men will say, is not fit to go
to the dogs. and it is the same with
blended whisky. There are very few
outside of the whisky business who
know these things. The Pure Food law
is all right, il it was enforced accord
ing TO It's terms. 1t has been in opera
tlon now for more than a year. and
Comrade Shoemaker has never seen a
bottie behind the bars with a proper
label on it.
