The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1909-12-21

Do you know that if our ears are
rightly attuned we may hear this
heavenly music, even as did the shep-
herds keeping vigil that night more
than nineteen hundred years ago?
"Peaee on earth, good will to men,"
the logical sequence of ''Glory to
God in the highest" God is not
far away. His heaven is no distant
land. His angel chorus will next
Christmas morn be heard by many
here on this earth. Did not Jesus
himself tell US, 'Inasmuch as ye
have done it unto one of the least
Of these my brethren, ye have done
it unto me?'

THE 1DLER.


X X X X X \ = -
Well, Christmas is mighty near here.
It is the greatest and the grandest
festival that we have. Without 1t
we would have no hope Of lmmor-
tality-there would be no Christian
ity. It is simple story-thls story
of the humble birth Of the Christ
child. It takes not long in the tell
ing, and the little children under
stand it. The apostles in telling OF
it take much less space than a news
paper would use in writing the sto-
ry of an ordinary crime. But with
all our learning and our advance
ment and our modern methods we
could not approach the simple gran
iduer of the grand simplicity Of the
recorded story. And it is the great
est story that was ever told.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1909-12-21

Could anything be added? Could
anything be taken away? It was a
wondrous message the shepherds
heard that night as they watched
their focks on gudea's plains. "Glo-
ry to God in the highest, and on
earth peace, good will toward men. d
It was an angel chorus that sang
the glad refrain, and the world was
filed with melody the like of which
had never before fallen on ears this
side the gates of pearl. And the lit
tie babe was wrapped in swaddling
clothes, lying in a manger.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1909-12-21

"And there were in the same
country shepherds abiding in the
field, keeping watch over their flock
by night.
"And 10, the angel Of the Lord
came upon them, and the glory of
the Lord shone round about them:
and they were sore afraid.
':And the angel said unto them,
Fear not: for, behold, I 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 Savior, which
is Christ the Lord.
"And this shall be a sign unto you
Ye shall find the babe wrapped in
swaddling clothes, lying in a man
ger.
''And suddenly there was with
the angel multitude of theheavenly
host praising God, and saying,
celery to God in the highest, and
on earth peace, good will towards
men,

CHANGE GOLFING RULE.
Western association Ab0LShes Mach
MOoted Section on Putting.

Wheaton. H. Sept 1.-THE rules committee OF
the Western Golf Association, at meeting at the
Chicago Golf Club, to-day officially abolished Sec
ton of Rule 30. which read NO puts shall be
conceded The committe. in place OF the pro-
hibiuYe rule. makes recommendation that play
ers do not concede puts 10 their opponents.
This action Of the Western Golf Association rules
committee places the question of conceding puts
in complete accord with the United. States Golf
Association rules. and removes a source of fric-
ton between the two associations that threatened
for time last winter, and again during the pres
ent tournament to result in the se-ssion from the
national body OF many of the biggest clubs in the
West that are members OF both associations.

MAY BREAK RECORDS.
MelUin W. Sheppard Hopes to Es-
tabHsh Some Nc1C Marks.

Melvin ". Sheppard, the brilliant middle dis
tance runner. still has confidence In his ability to
establish new records, is indicated by the fol-
lowing letter which he wrote TO James T. Sullivan:
will you please be so kind as to let me know
II it would be possible To have timers at the 500
yard mark and also timers at the T00-yard mark
in the 1,OO0-yard which is 10 be held at the
New York Athletic Club games? 1 am training
hard every day. and think I have a chance for
one Of these records on fast track"
This shows cOnclusfveIy that Sheppard, who IS
a good judge Of pace and a Judge of his own
ability. knows perfectly well that the 800 500 and
700 yard records are all within his grasp and Mr.
Sullivan has requested Captain J. T. Mahoney, OF
the New York Athletic Club. as a special favor
to Sheppard and also In the interest of American
athletics, to have nine timers at Travers Island
the day OF the games-three at 500 yards. three at
600 yards and three at 10 yards.
This great struggle for the championship banner
that is offered by the Amateur Athletic Union for
the two nights carnival OF sport at Madison
Square Garden October and ) has started
both the New York and Irish-American athletic
clubs to work, and they are making great efforts
to have the strongest possible teams on hand.
But these two New York clubs will not have things
their own way; it is expected that teams will
come 10 these games from Chicago Boston,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and 81. Louis end tho
best athletes Of several colleges may compete.
