"Glad tidings of great JOY l bring
To you and all mankind.
ITO you. in David's town, this day
Is born, of David's line,
The Savior. who Is Christ the Lord
And this shall be the sign:
The heavenly Babe you there shall
To human view displayed.
All meanly wrapped in swaddling
bands
And in a manager laid"
Thus spake the seraph. and forth.
with
Appeared a shining throng
or angels, praising God. who thus
Addressed their joyful song:
"All glory be to God on high,
And to the earth be peace;
Good will henceforth from heaven
to men,
Begin and never cease"

Genius Not Inherited.

In a comprehensive and painstak-
ing investigation of the sugject OF
the transmission by heredity of men.
tai qualities. made by Sir Francis
Gallon, of England, something of a
lar Is due the eugenists who assume
that the union of superior men and
women would result in still more
superior children. Cations statist-
les prove what must already have
impressed the careful observer, viz.
that genius or mental superiority
is strikingly seldom transmitted to
offspring. His figures show. in
deed, that the children of parents
who have attained the greatest lev
els of intelligence or mental power
rarely possess even a comparative
degree of the same qualities. Fol-
some reason, despite the efforts OF
scientists to prove the contrary, he
redity seems to fail lamentably In
the perpetuation or transmission OF
talent.
According to Sir Francis deduc'
lions, one person in 5000 in oul
race may, in each generation. attain
real excellence in some sphere OF
human endeavor, but such superior
ability comes from some unknown
source, and Is most frequently found
in the descendant of long line
Of obscure ancestors. The offspring
Of those who have succeeded III
gaining eminence in the intellectual
world are undeniably mediocre.
While eugenics may result IN the
betterment of the physical organ
ism of the race, and the mental and
moral improvement possible there
by, the inference from Cations data
which covers some $4,000 instances
is that distinction in mentality Oh
morality cannot be properly account
ed for by the theory of heredity
As an example. the distinguished
men classed as English inventors
may be taken, only one of whom
could by any possibility be claimed
to have inherited his genius or SUI
perior powers. and practically the
same ratio exists in all other lines

The season OF feace on EdrlH'
gooo will toward men," is with us
again. Before another issue of The
Tribune goes to it's readers, Christ
mas day will have passed this years
calendar. At this time. then. The
Tribune extends to its friends ana
patrons the seasons greetings -
A Merry Christmas to you all!'
Christmas is the anniversary of
the Great Event which gave to each
of us the right to rejoice. for its
message was directed to each one
of us. We cannot throw too much
gladness into the observance of the
day, Equalled only by Easter In
it's tremendous Significance to man
kind,it stands for the substitution
of peace for warfare, OF Joy Tor sad
ness, Of hope for dependency.
The light which shone from tn
Star OF Bethlehem has never dim
med: it shines ever more and
more brightly. and we come each
year nearer to the realization OF
the wonderful possibilities which
that light revealed to the world.
Here, then, is the reason for
Joy; here the reason for our songs
and our gifts and our CHEEKY words
each Is the expression of rejoicing
II we are sincere in our reception
Of the proffered opportunity, we will
sing with all our hearts on the glo-
rious Christmas anniversary, ION
earth peace, good will toward men,
1t IL the greatest song ever given
to the world and we may we'll sing
it with fervor and Joy.
The greatest carol the world ever
knew was given upon that first
Christmas morn. The audience was
the Judean shepherds and the audi
forum was the plain OutNde the
humble village of Bethlehem. Tine
star-studded dome of the sky fur
nished the proscenium arch, ana
there was lime light provided by
the heavenly beacon which blazed
above the manager wherein the Son
of Light lay. or all the songs
which have found favor. there Is
none which has charmed and enduT-
ed like the one which those Jew
ish shepherds heard that mOr;iinS
1t has been sung ever since IN pal
ace and in howell; it has brought
peace and comfort to the world; II
has soothed aching hearts; 1t has
inspired respondent breasts; 1t has
rung around the world which 1t
came to cheer: it's cadence be-
comes ever stronger as 1t Is ta"en
up by new voices, as 1t thrills new
souls
The peace which the first Christ
mas song described was not Tor ex-
elusive enjoyment. 1t was for all
the people. And each year, as the
glad Christmas season comes again
we find that there are more people
who have received the Message and
who have accepted. There Is cause
for added Joy In this fact. for 1t
means that the world IL growing
bitter.
The Christmas song Is the song
of great joy--the Joy which comes
from peace as proclaimed 50 many
years ago.
The Christmas spirit is the spir-
it of optimism: Itbe world Is the
better for it; it will be better next
year than it Is this year. The true
spirit of love and brotherhood 10
stronger than ever before. and the
purpose for which the blessed Sa-
yior came is nearer its fulfillmcilt.
The Christmas song this year
should be louder and clearer ana
sweeter than ever before. II sCouIu
