CHRISTMAS HOMECOMING.

One of the great features of Christ
mas is the home meeting. How many
hundreds of thousands who have been
separated throughout the year will now
be gathered together once more under
the old home roof.
1t is well that 1t should be so. 1t
warns the heart to read of the trains
to the north and the trains to the south,
east and west being filled with people
going home for their Christmas holidays.
Gladstone once said; Il am told that
the strain of our commercial life has
loosened even the bonds that unite the
family; that In the struggle for exist
ence the parents forget the child and
the child forgets the parents. God
forbid that this should be so. If the
parents did not think of the children
they would not have them home, and
if the boys and girls did not think of
their parents they would not go home.
Blood is a great deal thicker than wa
ter, and nothing will alter it. If pos
sible spend your Christmas at home.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

Like all of his public utterances,
President Wilson'S address to Congress
was full of sober serious thought. He
calls attention to the empty markets
of the world that are open to US, but
we cannot supply them because we lack
ships. He says that we have ''stunted
and hindered the development of our
merchant marine and now we need
ships and have not got them.
Attention is particularly directed to
two subjects; economy in government
expenditures, and the subject of nation
al defense. He is opposed to larger
standing army, but development of the
national guard Of the states is encour-
aged. He adds that anything beyond
this would mean that we had lost our
self-possession by a war with which
we had nothing to do.

realized that he had in it something

backed away, while others drew near

they have so fondly boarded and

but one that must be continued until
better times dawn upon them. Christ
mas comes but once year, and there
is always someone near home whose
life may be frightened by some little
contribution from our abundant store.
Therefore in our laudable effort to as
sist these for off self appointed charges,
let US not neglect the suffering which
may probably be found at our very
doors. Let US see to it that during the
festive season there is none within our
knowledge, our means permitting, who
goes without small amount of those
things which makes Christmas. Per-
haps but for our beneficence some
little stocking might be found empty
on Christmas morning; but for our
charity some little tot might go hungry
on Christmas day. Before we expend
our surplus in the assistance of those
so far away, let US know that there is
no suffering near our own homes which
our bounty might relieve.

1.-The poor we have with US always"
With the rapidly approaching holiday
season, let US remember this, not with
a passing thought, but substantially.
1t is well enough to help the Belgians,
surely this afflicted nation needs all
possible assistance. but always Char
ity begins at home", and while we are
making merry ourselves and giving of
fortunate, let us see that those who
are at our very doors are not allowed
to suffer and that their Christmas is
made at least comfortable.
The recent call of the Record for the
assistance of our people in the relief of
the Belgians is meeting with liberal
response in the hearts of our people,
and scarcely day passes but that the
columns of the Courier Journal chron-
icles the name of some Lancaster or
Garrard county donor to this fund.
This is not passing charity, but one
that must be kept up until peace comes
to this troubled nation, else there will
be untold suffering. Pen cannot des-
cribe conditions there, and but for the
charitabl kindness of the big hearted
people of this country, the suffering
would have been many times greater.
The stream of contributions continue
to pour in in an undiminished stream,
and ship after ship laden with provis.
ions and clothing for their relief is dis
patched upon their journey of mercy.
Let not this human duty to a stricken
nation fall upon charitable few. Let
us all take hand in doing the work Of
the Master. Sunday schools, churches,
fraternel organizations, schools, indi-
vIduals all should have part in this
most laudable undertaking, that of
