THE CHRISTMAS MESSAGE.

=. THE CHRISTMAS MESSAGE.
"And she brought forth her first
born son, and wrapped him in swad-
ding clothes, and laid him in man
ger: because there was no room for
them in the inn.
And there were in the same coun-
try shepherds abiding in the field
keeping watch over their flock by
night.
"And, 10, the angel Of the Lord came
mon them, and. the glory Of the Lord
shone round about them, and they
were sore afraid.
"And the angel said unto them' rear
not: for, behold, bring you good It'd
:hgs OF great JOY, which shall be to all
people.
= For unto you is born this day in
he city Of David q Saviour, which is
Christ the Lord.
! "Aad this: SHALL be sign unto you;
lie shall 6nd the babe wrapped in
swaddling clothes, lying in a manager
:; .And suddenly there was with the
angel a multitude Of the heavenly host
praising Coz and saying,
y. "Glory to God in the highest, and
on earth peace, good will toward
men"
It is a simple story. There is a
grandeur in it's simplicity. There is
simplicity in it's grandeur.
Simply the birth of a babe-a babe
who WAS wrapped IN swaddling
clothes, and laid in manger, because
there was no room for him and his
mother in the inn.
Picture in your mind ''the Holy
Night:
Sapphire sky and star of gold that
streams against the blue;
Vithered hills whose white stronghold
- out-gleams to whittier view;
Shade of shepherd, fash of Sheep DER
that illumined plain;
Spots of light and darkness creep and
shadows change again;
Silver CLINT on shim'ring wings and
angels, ali! so fair!
Singing low, "The King of Kings is
:. lying over there!"
# is no Chalons or Austerlitz or
Waterloo or Bunker Hill or Yorktown
that we celebrate at this season; our
iov now in this celebration reeks not
With THE sroans Of the wounded and
dying, mingled, though it be, with the
shout of victory as the flag is planted
beyond ramparts belching forth death.
It is simply the birth Of babe.
Though he came of kingly race,
an6 +hongh before the era of man and
throughout eternity, he was, IS, and
shall he ruler, he was not born in
nalace, nor was there any pomp or
ceremony connected with his birth.
His mother laid him in manger, be-
cause there was not room in the inn.
The glory which attended him snone
not round about the mighty; it enVel-
oped the shepherds abiding in the
field, keeping watch over their flock
by night
Power was his-power was the
babes who lay that night in Bethle-
hem's manger. That power, (which
maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Plelades'
and the chambers of the south; Whlch
doeth great things past finding out;
yea,. and wonders without number"
And yet the message which accompa-
MED his birth, borne upon the Still
AL hAN
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1911-12-22
the most learned could add nothing to

as it was when the angel chorus on
that first Christmas morn broke the
stiffness of the calm night during
which the babe was born.
It is there in all its purity, and in
all its pristine glory. The words
which tell it tell it fully and tell it all.
It is a message Of peace and OF
good will. It is message without
which the world would be lost 1t is
a message without which man would
be cropping in that darkness which ac-
companied the fall of man:
The birth of babe! Grown to man
hood, that babe in the darkness OF
Gethsemane's garden, alone, drained
to the bitter dregs the cup which held
all the sins Of man. He was alone, be-
cause in the nature Of the atonement'
he could not share his sufferings. A
little later he was crucifed. And in
his cruciaxion the atonement was COM
plete. He was alone, because none
could help him die. Alone he was
alone in his suffering, because in the
tenderness Of the love OF God that babe
who was laid in a. manger took upon
himself the sins of men; and alone ne
was in his glory, because he was the
Goldman, and the glory was tas glory
of the Creator.
And what is the Christmas message?
The record contains it. The star
which led the wise men Of the east
to the manager of the Christ child is
still in the heavens. The star of Beth
lehem beckons today as it did on the
irst Christmas morn. It's light will
battle our little world this Christmas
day even as it shone upon the shep-
herds who watched their flock by
night.
The record is complete. 1t remains
only for US to understand-and it is
as simple as the white light of truth
can make it.
If there is sorrow, seek to bring
some comfort. If there is want, seek
to bring some relief. If there is a
mother whose heart is sore because
she sees no way for Santa Claus to
pay her little ones a visit, go to the
relief of that mother. If there is a
little one you can make happy, make
haste that you lose not the opportu-
nifty.
Remember that the babe whose birth
we celebrate, said: ''Inasmuch as ye
have done it unto one of the least Of
these my brethren, ye have done it
unto me-"
And that same babe, grown to man
hood, said-and, coming from the lips
of the King of Kings, the ruler of a
universe of which this world is an in
6nitessima1ly small part-there is no
more beautiful sentence in all the
languages:
"suffer the little children to come
unto me, and forbid them not: for of
such IS the kingdom of God.'
That is the Christmas message.
We go back in our thoughts at this
season to the babe and to the mother
of the babe If at this season we can
bring happiness to only one child or
to only one child's mother, We believe
it will count for us, if we have done
what we could, more in the day OF hnal
reckoning than if we had amassed all
the gold and all the diamonds held In
all the mines of the world.
And that is the Christmas message
We would bring.

To CANADA
DUTY FREE
Import Upon Peaches May
Be Lowered.
Fr.it Exchange Hopes to Thus BGne-
fit the Georgia Growers. Tariff
On Peaches May Be Either Taken
Off Altogether, or Greatly Reduced

Athens, Ca, Jan. 2S.-In view Of the
interest aroused over the pending trade
agreement about to be reached be-
tween the United States and Canada,
whereby a number of the present high
tariff duties will be removed or at
least greatly lowered, it will be inter-
esting for the fruit growers Of Geor-
gia to know that the Georgia FruiteEX-
change has taken up this question with
Secretary Wilson with a view to ascer-
tanning the exact status in reference 20
the duty on fruit.
Up to date the import duty on fruit
shipped from the United States into
Canada has been one cent pound or
40 cents a crate or 5000 a car load.
This duty has been practically prohiba-
tory and as a result there has not been
a heavy movement of peaches from
Georgia into the Canadian centers.
Manager Fleming believes that If
this duty is removed there will be Gre
ated very great demand for Georgia
peaches during the coming months
and, Toronto and Quebec and 9TH
er Canadian centers will consume
large quantities of the luscious Geor-
gia peach.
1t is not expected that the price Of
fruit will remain as high in Canada
with the duty removed as at present
and the consumer and not the grower
will get the benefit Of the reduction in
price, but it is felt that the increased
consumption will more than repay the
grower.
Manager Fleming is just in receipt OF
a communication from Secretary Mos
ly Of the Interstate Commerce Com.
mission in Washington in which he
states that the Commission has post
poned the oral argument on the min
imum car load case from February Il
to February y, when Attorney Wat

THE STYLE Of The
NEY YORK Girl
Just Now She is Very Straight
Up and Down,

1T is not only her clothes, but the
way she wears them that makes you
look twice at the New York girl rs
you pass her on the avenue" says
Grace Margaret Gould in Woman S
Home Companion for February. She
is always fit and always we'll poised.
But no two seasons does she look Just
alike.
Just now and for many month
back she has been a very straight-up-
and-down young person. Her frocks
are emphasizing the slim silhouette.
But the New York girl, the real
New York girl, the one other girls the
land over love to copy, never stoops to
ridiculous costumes.
She is wearing just now coat-and-
skirt suit which is very simple affair
whether it happens to be made of man
nish suiting or velvet. The skirt ie
plain and scant and short. The coat is
short, too, and fits snugly over the
hips Almost invariably it is trimmed
with broad silk braid, specially is this
so when the suit is made of velvet. The
braid is more often black than any
thing else.
Perhaps the most noticeable feature
of the short jacket is the broad revers
which frequently form, in the back,
sailor collar.
of course, the hat is small, as it
should be to wear with walking cos
tune and it may be Of velvet, beaver or
satin. j is Worn well pulled down on
the head. 1t gives you the impression
that the fair wearer put it on as if she
meant it to stay. 1t may have a bit If
a tilt to the left or it may not. but
what little trimming it boasts of is ar
ranged well toward the back.
This all-important New York girl LIS
a fur-wrapped lady this year. Furs are
one of the distinct style notes of the
season. Flat stoles with long ends and
big, fiat muffs are favored, and the furs
most worn are black fox, lynx. sable,
mink, Australian opossum and mole
skin.

MAY RESTORE The
NATIONAL HIGHW AY
Famous Pike May Once More
See Its Ancient Glory.
CThe Boston Globe,)

Extensive repairs are being made Oh
the national highway, the famous turn
pike connecting the middle West with
the East. and which is also known as
the Cumberland road from the fact that
it passes through one of the most
scenic parts of the Allegheny Noun
Itains-Cumberland gap
/ Several of the states through which
this thoroughfare passes are doing
their best toward repairing it-Pennsyl-
vania is resurfacing its part, and many
counties in Ohio an dIndiana are doing
what they can to mend it. Hopes are
also entertained by motorists interest
] ed in the promotion of good roads
! throughout the country that the Fed
eral government may yet be persuaded
I to cooperate with the states in a
scheme for the reconstruction of this
pike all the way from Cumberland
Md, to its western terminus, St. Louis,
Mo, a distance of nearly 500 miles.
With the rehabilitation of this high
way motoring would receive another
great acquisition in the good roads
movement, while tourists would be
provided with another drive connect
ing the East and West, more beautiful
by far than the course now usually
taken across northern Indiana, Ohio
and New York.
The Cumberland road is a national
highway built by the government IN
the early part of the nineteenth cen
fury to bind together the East and the
West and help the nation to grow. It's
purpose was not primarily that of a
pathway for travel, but to furnish a
practicable route for the transportation
of freight
Cumberland, Md, was chosen as tho
starting point of this road, because it
was practically the head of navigation
being connected with Washington and
the Potomac by the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal From Cumberland it ran
to Washington, Pa, then to Wheeling
w. Va, Columbus, Ohio; Richmond
Ind; Indianapolis, Terre Haute, Van
dalia, H., and finally to st. Louis.
This highway was the longest and
straightest ever built by any govern
ment, and the total cost paid out of the
United States treasury was about ST.
100000 The total width of the road
was &C feet, of which 80 feet was grade
and 20 feet was macadam
At the present time a good deal Of
this national highway is in fairly good
repair. At moderate cost it is beliey-
ed that it could be brought to a high
state of perfection, furnishing the most
ideal tour for motorists driving to eth
er the East or middle West This is
the hope of those promoting the inter
ests of the good roads movement, and
there is a chance that the famous old
pike" may yet be restored to some Of
its ancient glory

the fact that local applications have

that bad blood is the cause for these
