"Peace on Earth and Good Will
Toward Men," was what the angels
sang when Jesus the Christ, made his
advent among mortals for the purpose
of doing the will of His Father and
inaugerating a new dispensation Of
love and sacrifice, which has changed
the world by giving mortals higher
and more exalted conception of man g
duty toward his fellow man and in
love, rejecting divine love.
Tomorrow, all over the world where
there are christians, the birth Of our
Savior will be celebrated bv sermon,
gong and festivities, and cut of the
hearts OF millions of christians will
proceed songs of rejoicing and praise.
While celebrat ting the birth of the
best man who ever trod the earth,
let his birth mean new spiritual
birth in each individual consciousness
to higher and boiler aspirations. Let
the Christ appear in us by good
thoughts, good words and works, fol-
lowing in his footsteps and doing
those things he commanded US to do.
The mere profession counts for
notbinR-it ID living the Christ and do
ing unto others as ye would that others
should do unto you, remembering
the poor and being meek, humble.

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY

Uncle Joe Cannon CLAIMS that his
name originally was O'Connon anc
that his remote ancestors were Irish
lords. He certainly looks. as if he
WAS decendent from Tip. and nc
doubt is lover of poteen. Uncle Joe
is all right. and being of Irish ances-
try. he ought to be an insurgent-
"agin the government.
The indifference paid to the recon-
mendations of the insurgent congress-
men by the president and the mem
bers Of his cabinet must be exceed
inglv humiliating to them. In a
more limited way. the same spirit OBJ
tanned in this state for several years
and no man who was true to his par
ty and its nominees could expect rec
ognition-and it was all right then.
1t Is certain that the tariff will be
q leading issue in several of the con-
gres sional districts in this state next
year and chat the present members

Cannon crowd will have hard shedding

is coming to them.
