THE CHRISTMAS ORA1oRIO

More than a century and a half
has flown since the great Christmas
oratorio, Handel's Messiah" Was
written, but the music, like the
theme. will never die. Rather, like
it's theme again, it grows more pop
ular with the passing years.
1t was first given in Dublin for
the cause of charity, for Handel
had a specially warm spot in his
heart for the Irish people, and he
was never happier than when help
ing the poor and needy.
When writing the oratorio, which
has for its theme the advent of the
Messiah, it seemed as if Handel
was inspired. So transported was
his soul that he says Il did think |
saw all heaven before me, and the
great God himself" The sublime
grandeur of the Hallelujah Chorus
touches the emotions of we'll nigh
every bearer. AS is we'll known the
audience invariably rises when this
chorus is sung. This custom dates
back to the first time George II of
England heard it. He was so af-
fected by the wondrous majesty of
it's music that he leaped to his feet
and remained standing, the audi
ence. of course, following his ex-
ample.
Many hundreds of choirs in Am
erica and England report the joyful
and sublime strains Of the Messiah
at every Christmastide.

1t is gratifying to know that the
fight against consumption is win
ming. Ultimately this dread disease
like others that once were preva-
lent, will almost cease to be. But
unfortunately, what society gains
from science is often neutralized by
its own follies. Nervous and
mental diseases are on the increase
simply because society lives too
high and goes at too rapid pace.
Hurry, sensationalism, the craving
for excitement, the mad eagerness
for wealth, and pleasures that vio-
late all rnles for health are respon-
sible for the alarming increase in
sudden deaths, heart failure, nerv-
Gus breakdown and insanity. If
society would but cooperate with
science it would gain immensely in
health and every other way.

GREEDY STANDS FOR COOK

A, few days ago General A. W.
Greedy brought out new edition of
his work, "A handbook of Polar
Discoveries in which he deals at
some length with recent reports
and matters under discussion as to
Cook and Peary. General Greedy
is one of the few persons exception
ally we'll qualified to form an opin-
ion. From news paper accounts Of
it in the Springfield (Mass.) Re-
publican we read. Greedy calls
Peary the discoverer of the deep sea
at the Pole, and Cook the. discover
er of the Pole. Phenomenal as
was the success of Cook, and un-
surpassed as were the final marches
of Peary, the writer, from his
personal knowledge OF the Smith
Sound environment, and of both
explorers, finds himself constrained
to give full credit to their reports,
though Cooks are bitterly contest
ed" Cooks success is attributed
to his following Peary's plan, and
to his more favorable western route
through a game-filled land. and
then over better ice. But General
Greedy adds: TO r. F. Peary,
more than to any other man, is
due credit for the discovery of the
Pole" And again: In this great
journey to the Pole, Peary exhibit
ed high qualities a. Arctic expert
as administrator and as sledgeman.
He surpassed the speed record of
all predecessors-traveling 5 per
cent faster than Cook"

SENSIBLE SHOPPING SUGGESTIONS

The Consumers league, which
exists to promote just and sanitary
conditions surrounding the manu-
factnre and sale of clothing and
similar merchandise, has joined in
the appeal for early Christmas shop
ping. 1t offers the following sug-
gestions regarding this and related
questions of the holiday season:
/. Buy early in the season and
early in the day.
2. Send packages two weeks
ahead marked mot to be opened
until Christmas. !"
3. Minister to actual needs, Give
chiefly to children. >
4. Choose presents having either
usefulness or beauty.
5. Demand articles which have
been made and sold under condi-
tons fair and wholesome to the
worker.
6. Remember that Christmas is
OF noble memory, not an occasion
for display.
