Whnt Chrtstmas Means.


What does Christmas mean to US?
1t Is q past event in history and to it
we look back and rejoice. but what
does 1t mean to us? Well, think OF it
this way. A friend said to me last
week when we were talking about II:
did you ever think he said. what
would happen IL there were no Christ
mas-if Christmas could be blottcd
out of the calendar and we go on
through the dull level of the years
without the hope and the help which
1t brings to heal the wounds Of social
and family life and to Civ, us heart
for our work." Now, did you ever
think OF that? II there had been no
Christmas there would have been no
New Testament and no message about
God loving the world and giving Him
self for the life Of tho world and no
great Christmas hymn of the love that
never faileth. and no ringing shout OF
Easter morning and the open grave
aud no music from the Messiah, and
no pictures Of the Madonna and the
Cross. and no "In Memoriam," with its
ringing bells, and no Hymn Of the
$ Nativity" from Milton, and no Christ-
mas Day and Easter Eve" by Brown
Ing, and no white nurses going through
the long corridors whispering to them
selves:
"Oh. how could serve in the wards IL
the hope Of the world were a
How could bear with the sights and

But that he said. Ye do It to me, when
ye do it to these
As far a. see, tho coming OF Christ
meant three things for us-Truo con-
ception Of God, true conception of
man, true conception of life.

I wish could come into every farm

this message: Good cheer and good
fellowship not on Christmas alone, but
On casry one OF the 365 days of tho
entire year. Let's give our presents
on Christmas: n present to every one
we know and love (mother, father,

man. the neighbors. the people who
we've had pleasant dealings with
throughout the yearl so fur as lies
within our means. no matter what the
present may be. But let's not stop
at that; let's band together to con-
tinue the giving throughout the entire
year. Not costly things-as men
measure gifts In tho scale OF dollar 8
and cents. az 30 many bushels of corn
or peas for new dress for mother
or daughter-but smiles and pleasant
thoughts and we'll wishes and all that
sort of thing.

LABOR BODY DEFENDED
MITCHELL WARMLY UPHOLDS
WESTERN FEDERATION.
Denounces industrial Feudalism,"
Which He Says Existed in Michl-
gan Copper District.

Washington, March 25.-John Mitch
ell, former president of the United
Mine Workers and for ten years chair
man of the trades committee on agree
ment of the National Civic federation.
warmly defended the Western Fedora
ton of Miners, and denounced indus
trial feudalism," which he alleged ex-
listed in the Michigan copper district,
and in the Colorado and West Vir-
ginia coal fields, when he appeared
before the house subcommittee on the
Michigan strike Monday.
"The charge made by mine owners
in Michigan that the Western Fedora
ton OF Miners is Socialist organiza-
ton and that on that account agree
ments with it cannot be made, is ut
terly fallacious," said Mitchell. "The
Western Federation has for some
years made trade agreements its fun
damenta1 policy. For II years it has
been in control of the Butte copper
districts, where perfect harmony has
existed with the Amalgamated Copper
company.
Red Socialism does not enter into
the situation as factor. The West
ern Federation is affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor, which
has no more connection with the So
cialist party than with any other
party.
THE mining companies had no quar-
rel apparently with the Socialists. It
was only after the union asked for
more wages that they began to talk
of red Socialism"
Both Representatives Macdonald
and Mitchell urged legislation to pre-
vent the Importation of armed guards
into strike districts from other states
and to prevent strikebreakers from
being deceived as to conditions in
strike field to which they might be
taken.
