CHRISTMAS THE YEAR AROUND.

In a few more days the Christian
world will celebrate again the birth
of our Savior. Old and young will re-
joice together over common good
fortune, and for little while the
whole world will be united in a great
brotherhood. Each will wish the other
happiness, for at Christmas time the
evidence of the all embracing love of
God displaces sefishness from the
heart of every Christian worthy of
the name.
What a meaning Christmas has for
,ls The birth of Jesus Christ, the
Son of God, the Redeemer of fallen
humanity! 1t means SO much that we
but family grasp it's meaning. 1t is
impossible for us to put ourselves in
the position of those who lived before
Christ came on earth, those who lived
with the hope that some day God
would send one who would free them
from their sins. For us the redemp-
ton Of the world is the one great
reality of life. so much a part of our
being that we no longer rejoice in 1t
any more than we do in having the
use of our hands or feet. We feel
that it is our right and fail to think
of the infinite mercy and love of God
that made it so.
Well may we rejoice on Christmas
day whether we are rich or poor or
high or low in the social scale. We
all have common blessing to rejoice
over. We are emancipated from the
bonds of sin, we are all free men,
slaves no more unless slavery be our
choice.
And while we rejoice at Christmas
time over our great good fortune may
we not ask ourselves, Why confine our
gladness to Christmas Day alone? Dc
we not enjoy the same blessings the
year around that are ours at Christ
mas time? We are happy at this par
ticular season because we consider
the plan of the universe more nearly
, in it's entirety. We get a truer esti.
mate of the meaning of life. We be-
come cognizant of the fact too Otter
overlooked, namely that the world is
essentially good, and the pleasures Of
life outweigh it's pains. Our unhap.
piness comes from focusing our whole
attention on a little detail which per.
haps plays but an insignificant par
in the grand scheme of things. w,
are oppressed by a little loss because
we give too much of our attention t,
the loss and not enough to the things
we have, but might have lost.
While we rejoice at Christmas. then
let us not fail to make an effort tc
carry the spirit of this season int,
every season of the year.

ARREST
Of A Man On Charge OF
DiSOrderly Conduct

Sylvanus Smith was arrested on
Saturday morning by Constable r. B..
McCune on a warrant sworn out be-
fore Squire George S, Harter by
Dart Vandelenne, charging Smith with
disorderly conduct and with using OBJ
scene language in the presence of wo-
men. Smith pleaded guilty when ar
raigned before Justice Harter and was
fined $40 and costs. The fine was sus-
pended on condition that the defend
ant behave and not repeat the offense
in the future.
The trouble arose over the fact that
the Vandelenne chickens invade the
Smith garden at times and when the
latter shot two of the fowls, heated
battle of words followed in which
Smith used language which the plain
tiff alleged was obscene.
