prise at Church Christmas Eve.

The First Methodist church was we'll
filled Friday evening, on the occasion
OF the annual Children's Christmas cele-
bration. A special number not down on
the program was the presentation to
the pastor. Rev. F. B. Short, Of a sill
yer set. Judge G. F. Goodwin made
. the presentation speech, in which he
said: when Dr.. Short first came here
we found that he was not short. by a
great many feet. In fact, we found
that he was so extremely long that he
had to go into the cellar to find his
feet. And after he had been here a
while we found that he had no short
comings Inside OF six months after
his start as pastor of the First Metho-
dist Episcopal church he had run that
long frame OF his all over the city, and
had succeeded In collecting over one
half of the enormous debt against tho
church at that time, and say, with
out fear of contradiction, that he Is
now loved and admired by every MEM
Der of this congregation. And II does
not end here. We like Mrs. Short and
the little Short And In making this
little Christmas gift to the Shorts we
have not forgotten either OF them"
The response was made by Mrs. Short
at the request of her worse half" who
was too overcome to express himself In
well articulated. elocutionary effort A
program including music and recitation
followed, which was much enjoyed. and
there was large Christmas tree with
gifts of many things for the children
present

SHIPMENTS OF TURKEY

Famine in Supply of Christmas Bird

There was a great rush for turkey
last evening, and none to be had 'for
love of money" AS noted in Friday eve

souri, birds that was to arrive in this
city Thursday evening or Friday morn
Ing. failed to materialize OH account
OF being held up In snow blockades back
east. The suppositlon was that the car
was stalled near. Evanston. but the Q.
S. l.. diSpatcher's office has no informa-
ton whatever about the car as being
west OF Cheyenne, so It must be located
somewhere between Cheyenne and Kan
sas City on the Kansas Pacific road. a
branch of the Union Pacific. There are
several Salt Lake commission houses in
terested In that consignment and they
all tell the same story about its having
been shipped. A local dealer reported he
had word Friday evening that 1t would
be here Monday morning.
There was much disappointment man
ifcsted among the many shoppers on
the streets Friday evening, over the alb
sence of the TranksgivinE-Christm
bird, and hotel and restaurant keepers
stood aghast'' at the idea of Christ
mas passing by with no turkey to
speak of to serve. but there was no help
for 1t. so the purchasing public turned
toward chicken of which there seemed
to be a-plenty, with quite supply Of
duck, determined to make the best of IL.
There was quite lot of frozen turkey
on hand which wero thawed out by
soaking In water. but the supply dis
appeared bright and carly. A few lob
sters were on the market. from Maine.
and they went in short order.
At IL o'clock this morning that much
talked-of lost consignment OF 10000
pounds of turkey from the Missouri riv-
or had been traced Tho car was con-
signed to Joseph Geoghegan. who had
arranged to divide Its contents among
a number of local commission houses.
and 1t was due in Salt Lake Wednesday
afternoon. The cause of delay was the
cold and the snow. which blocked traffic.
The operating department hauled tho
car out of Green river Friday night, and
1t Is due In this city this afternoon. AS
the commission men say they will not
accept the shipment now that 1t arrives
too late for Christmas sale. the railroad
company will have to dispose of 1t. 1t
Is probable that some local firm win
handle the consignment and sell the tur-
keys for what they will bring.

MANY WORSH|PERS
At ST. PAUL'S CHURCH
Sermon Taking Verse From
Luke ms His Text.

ST Pauls church was we'll filled this
morning by worshipers in attendance
on the Christmas day, services. The
fine musical program prepared by Choir
lister and Organlst Berkhoel was sue
cessfully carried out to the marked
qualification of the congregation, and
Rector Perkins then preached the
Christmas sermon from the text: ''Thcy
made known abroad tho saying which
was told them concerning this child"
Luke Il, II. The speaker said In part:
THE whole world has turned young
today. Everywhere the spirit of Christ
mas has gone the old world has been
reJuvenated. 1t is the childrens day.
Tho father and mother and even the
grandparents renew their lives upon
this bright Christmas morn. They live
over their lives again in the happiness
and youth of their children.
What does 1t all mean to us?
Whence comes this power into tho iifo
OF men? Surely 1t is not the spirit OF
paganism which to a large extent spent
this season In rlotous living and gave
Itself over to the qualification of lower
appetitcs. Indeed. some still are in
nuenccd by this spirit But this Is not
the spirit of Christmas
"The Christ Child has converted the
pagan institution into one OF love and
blessing. We hear the echo of the
angels song. Peace on earth. good
will to men, 1t Is a message of cheer
But II Is a message OF innocence and
joy.
THE world is touched with tho
spirit of humanity In all Its highest
conceptions at this season, 1t Is tho
family life into which our God has en-
tered and made up His abode among
men. No longer is God far off. but
he is near. And since God Is in men
and among men. they cannot help re-
ioicing. They are renewed. Hope
and courage Is theirs.
I'VE can not overestimate the need
of humanity's claiming this blessing of
Christmas, Forever young is the
spirit which this world needs. When
humanity Is influenced by 1t no task Is
beyond its possibility of accomplish
ment. Old civilizations stand aghast
at the accomplishment of Christian
nations. Decrepitudc and decay are
the mark of peoples who have aban-
doned this idea. A nation born in a
day is the result of its acceptance.
I'VE can not fail to make known
abroad its message as the angels did
of old. So full of life and vigor Is
this youthful spirit of Christmas that
1t can not share Its blessings alone.
Its blessings came from the love that
springs In the human heart at tho
birth of the Christ Child. This love
renews the OLD earth and will renew
until all shall be filled with that life
which Is always young because 1t is
eternal"
