A CHANCE no DO GOOD.

THE approach of Christmas has aroused the giving
spirit in the hearts of Americans.
We appeal to Wilmingtonians and Deawareans
generally to permit least part of that spirit to
how out to the millions of children in Europe, whose
lives have been made miserable by the war-madness
that convulses that continent
Christmas is essentially chd's day From year
to year is looked forward to by boys and girls as
the one great festival in the worlds calendar OF fes-
uyas. The little boy the little girl who receives
gifts on that day is supremey happy The little
boy the little girl who is not remembered is thrown
into he slough Of unhappiness
II is to assist in the work Of dispensing Yuletde
happiness to the children in war-riven Europe that
THE EVENING JOURNAL is doing what it to
sst in building up the War Chidrens Christmas Fund
Its efforts have with generous responses but the
END is not yet Every hour brings in contributions
Of cas and goods to be sent the to make
the children happy at Christmas time. There are
however thousands of Delawareans and Delmarvians
who thus far have given nothing aid this audabo
project Il is to them that make renewed ap-
peal
The greatest war in the history of the world is in
progress in Europe
The and children of that continent are
Staggering beneath the greatest burden of woe in the
history Of the world.
The greatest wave of public sympathy that ever
swept country has been aroused by the
happiness and misery of those millions of innocent
non-combatants. 1t is finding expression in many
forms of practical relief work, that are praise
worthy as they unsefsh.
Our efforts directed particularl- TO the end of
giving merry Christmas to the war children and
to make them feel on Christmas morning that. not
withstanding they stand amid wreck and ruin and
the smoke battle there are those outside the zone
Of conflict who think of tho sympathize with them
love them and find true heart-peasure in showing
them that tic Christmas rit stl lives in this great
land of peace and plenty and that there is enough
Of t for at home well abroad
There is no Delawarean who is not interested in
the happiness of little boy or little girl Sup
that through untoward circumstance little Jack
or Will or Fred. Harry, or Mary or Mabel or
Sarah Of the other children arousing such
Interest were TO be plunged into such field Of death,
destruction and misery that which surrounds the
war children of Europe would not an expression of
human sympathy from without be thrice welcomeP
There Is no Delawarean who is too poor in poctet
or heart to give something bring Christmas cheer
TO the children the other side of the At
lantic
There is no Deawarean who can fail To feel bette,
for having made such gift
It is because know these things to be true tha
make this appeal to the men. women and children
OF Delaware 10 cooperate in this movement and Il
give it the material support that needs and de
serves.

New News Of Yesterday
An Excess Of Judicial
Dignity
By Holland.

The excessive dignity and scrupulous
insstence that all the properties OF the
court of Justice should be maintained
whenever he was sitting as judge were
recognized by the Massachusetts, bar as
q distinguishing characteristic OF Horace
Gray when he was serving as chiei
justice of the highest court of the old
Bay State. From that court Judge Gray
went to the bench of the Supreme Court
at Washington in the administration OF
President Arthur.
Judge Grays physical stature fully
matched his legal ability and his widely
recognized judicial capacity. He stood
head and shoulders above any lawyer OF
his day. He was known to be the tallest
man in Boston, and in all Massachusetts
there was believed to be only one other
of equally great stature. Lawyers some
times said of him that it was easy for
man of his imposing physical appear
ance to maintain dignity and to exact
perfect recognition of that dignity upon
all occasions.
Some time after Judge Gray became
member of the Supreme Court at Wash
! ington, 1 was told several interesting
anecdotes associated with him while he
was upon the bench OF the highest Mas
sachusetts court.
"One day" said my informant, "Judge
GRAY was called TO Providence, r. /. An
intimate personal and professional
friend was his companion on the trip. Ex
actly what the occasion was which made
this visit necessary ! do not now recall,
but | am certain that it related TO some
important litigation. Judge Gray's
friend was a little man and when the
two were seated in the railroad car they
seemed to have the relation of a father
and little boy, yet the friend was a
man of ordinary stature.
upon arrival Il the railway station
at Providence Judge Gray asked mis-
friend if he knew how far it was from
the platform within the station to the
curb outside II was really only few
steps, but all the same Judge Gray look
ed around for tho purpose of finding
porter who could be employed to carry
his small travelling satchel. There was
no porter, and the Judge reluctantly
picked up his satchel.
'When they reached the curb, Judge
Gray stopped and beckoned to a hack
man. Iis friend said to him; Judge you
are not calling a hack are your
"lo this question Judge Gray made
no reply, but continued to becllon until
the hackman responded. His friend in
sisted; Judge, we don't need sack.
The place TO which we are going is only
half block away. We can walk to it in
a few minutes
"'Sir,' said Judge Gray, Strengthening
himself to his full height. you should
know that Judge Gray never walks
"'Why, have heard that You took q
walking tour one time through the Berk
shircs,' said the friend.
81 did, but that was when I was Mr.
Gray He thercupon entered the hack
with his friend and was driven tn,
length of the half block to the plac,
which was their destination"

Editorial Opinion
COURTINC IN CHURCH.
ihe Wnshington Post.

From the Washington Post.
A sterling young preacher of Day
ton, Ohio. his soul filed with tender
sympathy and his mind tinctured with
the leaven of modernism-as he
thinks-says he is in favor of young
folks making love in church.
He is in favor of it, eh? Shades Of
crude nonconformist meeting houses
and stately cathedrals hallowed by
antiquity And supposin' he wasn't
in favor of it? Perhaps there would
be CONSERVATION in one Dayton
church from the kid corner clear back
to the choir: and again, perhaps
there wouldn't.
One of Americas greatest thinkers
said long ago that he frequently slid
into the pew early, finding in the cool
of the sanctuary a spiritual uplift
that the sermon sometimes failed TO
give. But youth and maid have often
discovered in both more than the
Surroundings or the words might have
been expected to offer. The same
love that laughs at locksmiths has
been known to take remarkable liber-
ties under more solemn circumstan-
ces. The reverend gentleman's I'm
ally. brethren" falls upon ears that
are sublimely oblivious to his finest
spun arguments. And why not? II
he speaks Of bliss, has it not already
been attained? Or what boots it to
talk of Amazing Grace, If her name
is Helen.
The prayer book is a marvel OF
sacerdotal compilation. II has such
lovely broad margins on which can
be scribbled little messages that mean
nothing TO the mass, but so much e
two. And the hymnal, doubly clasped
as though il weighed ton, how sweet

member thy Creator in the days ol

the Preacher But the remembering
of ones youth In the days of ones

Whether Gen. Obregon and other
lieutenants of Carranza give battle to

that Carranza's days as dictator are

official observers. The town of Leon
and the city Of Guanajuato were TAX

a shot, and several thousand Carran

Professor Flinders Petre in his excavations In the

These images evidently portraits Of great
women who died and buried in Abydos. The
images supposed TO be the receptaces Of the souls
Of the dead and immortality lasted long the
the Soul was content to live in such image but
when the tomb destroyed the soul wandered alone
through space with resting place

that the hair Is marcelled exactly the custom in

WHAT SHOULD WILMINGTON DO?

w Hal onOOLD WlLhlNOlON ~ :
To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL, Sir: Kindly allow, through
the columns of THE EVENING JOUR
NAL, a word of suggestion to the good
people of Wilmington as to the impor-
tance Of concerted and systematic action
to meet the urgent demands for relief
sure to come TO us during the approach
ing winter season.
Wilmington has been "hard hit" in
her industries because of the European
war, and the operation OF other courses,
with the result that thousands of her
honest workingmen are without em-
ployment, condition likely TO con-
tinue for many months to come. Before
long, hundreds will be in want of fuel,
clothing, food and the necessities OF
life
Under these circumstances would it
not be wise to prepare for the emer-
gency soon to arisef Ought not the
Chamber OF Commerce, The Associated
Charities or some similar organization
call mass meeting OF citizens. to de-
wise and consider the best and most
effective means 0f securing the relief
soon TO be demandedT
The appeal for food and clothing for
the homeless, starving millions OF the
war-smitten countries Of Europe has re-
ceived magnificent response. The ap.
peal will come again and the response
will be equally generous. In this every
one reioices. Let us be equally thought
full to make due provision for those
who are at our doors
Very truly yours,
George Edward Reed.

There is such unmeasured Joy and
gladness in living a right life that
one wonders why every person does
not endeavor to live such a life. 1t
not only imparts blessedness TO the
life of the one who lives it, but it be-
comes a means of blessing to others
When one lives the best life he links
himself up with all the good of earth
and heaven. How inspiring it is to
feel that one is in tune with the In
finite Father, with Christ, with the
angels and saints above, and with the
noble of earthl
Then do not deem that it matters not
How you live your life below;
It matters much to the needless crowd
That you see go to and fro;
For all that is noble and high and
good
Has AN influence on the rest.
And the world is better for every one
Who is living at his best.

of Christ IS one of the most beautiful
and impressive traits in his lovely
character Words cannot be found
