The Star of Bethlehem.

This old sobbing world of ours is one
year older than it was when the last
Christmas carol was chanted. 1t has
had another twelyemonth Of expert
ments and Of experience. of advance
ment on many lines of human research
and acquisition. But it has not out
grown Jesus Christ For him it has
discovered no substitute. The star Of
bethlehem is the only star that never
sets Jesus Christ alone can satisfy
all human necessities and the loftiest
of human inspirations. Christianity is
the only universal religion, the only
one adapted to all ages of life, to all
human conditions, to all races and all
nationalities, Other lights have arisen,
Waned and vanished forever. The
Greek mythology is as utterly shaken
to ruin as its own splendid Parthenon.
The chief religions of. Asia-Brahman-
zeal. Buddhist and Moslem-all are lin.
tied and local; they are all moribund
While they make no inroads on Chris
danity, the religion of Bethlehem and
Calvary makes constant inroads upon
them The systems of error which
Paul and Peter fought have vanished
out Of sight, and the whole east is
catching gfmpses OF the star that first
dawned over Judea's sky. In spiritual
dynamics blood tells. and God has
trusted his gospel of salvation to the
most powerful races on the globe

Lands New Currency Law.

The money trust was reality and
the federal reserve banks have put it
out of commission, E. t. Meredith of
Des Moines, director of the Chicago
federal reserve bank, said in an address
Thursday night in the Hotel Pister
before members of the Milwaukee
Creditmen'S associations:
''The question of whether there
really has been money trust has been
the cause of much discussion recent
ly," said Nj. Meredith. From the
study L have made of the question
can declare confidently that there has
been such trust. Two great banking
systems in New York have had a
practical monopoly of the credit OF
this country.
1.-The great danger OF this condition,
and how the smaller monied men have
been forced to obey the dictates OF
the New York banks, were brought
out in the investigation conducted by
the Pujo committee. 1t was shown
that the Morgan interests, controlling
thirty-four banks, were able to cause
stock to drop or rise because they
could decide which stock they would
accept as collateral on loans"

HONORABLE MENTIor
Europe Was Prepared.

Preparedness for war as means of
preventing armed conflict was de-
nounced in Richmond, Va, Wednes-
day night by Secretary of State
Bryan, addressing the annual conven-
ton of the Federal Council of Church
es of Christ in America.
"lf preparedness prevented war
there would be no war in Europe"
said Secretary Bryan. They have been
prepared for long time. Prepared
ness may help you if you want to get
into war, but it will not keep you
out.
"More than that, preparedness al
most with absolute certainty, will
lead you into war because you cannot
prepare for war unless you either are
afraid of or hate somebody. The peo-
pie will not bear the burden oftaxa-
ton. To make them believe it is
necessary you have got to have some.
body to whom you can point and say
eff you don't get ready they will

Message Praised.

The newspapers of the country
agree Tor the most part in attaching
greatest significance to that part OF
the presidents message dealing with
questions or national defense and with
the duties of the nation growing out
of the European war. The New York
Evening Post, Ind, commends the
presidents stand without reservation.
observing that ''as for our national
defenSes, we may all feel that we have
mighty bulwark-a president who
has met the crisis with poise and en-
ergy, and who defends US against
those OF our own citizens who forget
the true grandeur of this nation A
similar position is taken by The
Springfield Republican, Ind, which
finds that Mr. Wilson '!takes no ex-
tremist position. He is not even a
'pacitist. !" The president is CON-
mended for placing the emphasis
where the military alarmists are not
placing it, while at the same time he
states program for the army which
''might crafty even the editors of
the military service journals"
The Indianapolis News, Ind, is
certain that the presidents stand on
national defense will meet the APP
prevail of the people. "We venture to
think that no man has better stated
the firm beliefs of the American peo-
pie on the subject of ornaments and
our obligations to the rest of the
world than President Wilson in his
message" says The st. Paul Pioneer
Press, Ind. Rep. The view of The
Dayton News, DEM, is that "here is
a message on which all people, re-
CARELESS of partisanship, can find
common ground"
Says The Baltimore Sun, Ind. Dem,
she goes to the bottom of the situa-
ton in a way very disconcerting to
the hysterical and to those bent on
gaining political advantage by spec
tacular agitation. *** 1t would be
sad day for mankind if the European
war should have the effect not only
of bringing misery upon the countries
engaged in it, but should put out the
light of the world which the United
States is holding up to all the nations
of the earth, should change our rela-
ton TO them into one of miitarism
and aggressiveness, and should blot
out IN our own hearts the remem-
brance Of the principles and the ideals
which have made us great"
The New York World, Ind. Dem,
puts the stress on the announcement
that the administrations program of
legislation with regard to the regula-
tion of business is complete. 1.-The
period of suspense is over" comments
The World, "and if business honestly
tries to conform to the law the period
of agitation is not likely to be re-
Sumed NM A new era has begun,
and it can continue as long as every
man charged with the responsibility
for the management of great cor
poration remembers that the public

THE local daily which has been bust
ed wide open on every important ques-
tiOn that has come up before con-
gress, pulls itself together and COM
mences to pound away on something
else. 1t dismally failed on the tariff
question though it must have had a
bill of its own before congress, from
the prolonged groans which come
from it after the present bill had
been passed. 1t failed, utterly so, to
have its ideas adopted with reference
to the money question:; it wanted war
with Mexico; but it did not get it. 1t
has pulled its hair so to speak, and
paraded up and down on it's little
publicity platform it has and
| fairly screamed, and finally told
its readers that the country was
going to the demnition bow-wows if
the democrats were allowed to have
their way, and still the country has
been going onward and upward and
no one has paid any attention to the
profound ~ wisdom of the local
daily. Now it is hot after President
Wilson for not favoring larger army
and navy. Wow! Some papers that
have been knocked down and trampled
| upon, know when they have had
enough, others don't. In the case of
Wausaa's daily it can be summed up
in two words Partisan HoWler," and
it is so ALFRED partisan that it can
see straight, hence it can always be
found "agin' President Wilson.

that the mission OF the church is to

his glory.

church today" asked the pastor.
With all its numerical increase, it's

that the richer and larger the church
becomes. the less prayerful and de-
pendent upon divine power II is; the

one else TO pull us out OF the mire of
unbelief and wOrldliness and inject
new life into US And he does il by
preaching the truths we deny, stand
