A CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY
FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

1t seems to me that IL Christmas is
to be the real and complete holiday
that It should be. 1t Is necessary for
every member of the family to share
it's lightheartedness and freedom from
care. And it 10 a little unfair to the
other member of the family that the
housekeeper shall SO often cling to
the full measure of her daily service,
even In the midst OF the merriment
and gayety OF this day OF days.
OF course. 1t ie true that our Christ
the holidays celebration. and our
Christmas table often the meeting
place OF members OF the family who
are gathered together for this one day
in all the year.
The dinner must be good. and
more than this. it must be served
.., and III abundance. But II
enough thought and preparation are
given to 1t beforehand. almost no
1T cooking need be done on
Christmas day.
First OF all. would like to remind
you that with this meal. as with all
others. it Is the part OF wisdom ia
choose only the best materials. II
err things to eat or let them be OF an
inexpensive kind. hut always get the
best OF what you do get.
There is no part OF = household

control AZ that portion that goes to
the table. but the secret OF real econ

that are good. rather than In getting
cheap varieties OF things that are ex-

EVANGELIST HOLDS
NOTABLE MEETINGS
Church Packed Twice and Theater
Once to Hear Him-WilI Make
Last Talk Tonight.

Three times yesterday Gypsy Smith,
Jr,. the evangelist. preached to great
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. morning and
last night in the Second Baptist
Church to congregations that taxed
the capacity of the edifice, at night
standing room being at premium,
and yesterday afternoon to an audi
ence of men that filled every available
seat in the Lyric Theater.
The special meetings which he has
b~en conducting will come 10 an end
tonight with the final service at the
Second Baptist Church, at which time
Mr. Smith will discuss the life and
work of his lamented father, one of
the most noted evangelists the coun-
try has ever known.
Last night Mr.. Smith. by request,
repeated the sermon delivered at the
Lyric Theater a week ago, in which
he compared the. disease OF leprosy
with sin. He drew d striking COM
parison between the physical and
spiritual disease using the story of
Naaman and the play Of Ben Hur to
illuminate his discourse. The music
was OF high order. and the render
ing Of the offertory anthem, Coming
Home" especially excellent.
At the mems meeting at the Lyric
Theater yesterday afternoon at least
twelve hundred men heard Evangelist
Smith preach ON the single standard
of morals. his subject being The
Trickster." The sermon was pro-
nounced the strongest the evangelist
has yet delivered in Richmond. and at
the close OF the service several hum
dred men came forward and asked for
prayer. publicly announcing their In
tention OF leading. new lives.
Mr.. Smith used the life Of Jacob
for his topic and showed how mans
misdoinss follow him to the end or
his days to haunt him and make
trouble for him. At the close OF the
meeting Mr. Smith stated 1t was one
of the best from the standpoint or
results that he had ever conducted.
The evangelist was introduced to
the audience by Attorney-General
John Garland Pollard. Howard
Bryant was the soloist and chorus
leader. and the singing of the male
choir was very inspiring.

TEXAS WOMEN TAKE
SLAP At PRESIDENT

Austin. Tex. Dec. l2.--Just before
the annual convention of the Texas
Division of the Daughters OF the Con-
federacy came to close yesterday
warm discussion was provoked over a
resolution that was introduced by
Mrs. A. III. Howard. Of Palestine. con-
graduating President Wilson on his
approaching marriage to Mrs. Gait.
and endorsing his preparedness policy.
The resolution was amended by strik-
ing out that part which referred to
the coming matrimonial event, on the
grounds that It was unbecomfng and
undignified for the President ito marry
so soon after HIS first wife's death.
When the resolution was read. Mrs.
r c Fox, of Amarillo, quickly arose
and said:
II move that We omit the congratu-
lations on the Residents engagement
and approaching marriage
But why. said Mrs. Howard. do
you object to this"
Because it Is too undignified a
thing for the first gentleman of the
land to do" said Mrs. Fox. $50 soon."
she added.
Others opposed congratulations to the
President, and the resolution was
amended in accordance to the mo-
ton of Mrs. Fox.

SITUATION IS
EXTREMELY INTENSE
Between High and Low Church
Parties.

New York, Dec. 1s.-Tf1at the situ-
alton in the Protestant Episcopal
Church, arising out OF differences be-
tween the high ard low church par
ties. is extremely intense was made
more evident today by pulpit deiiv-
cries in many Episcopal churches in
this city bearing on the discussion re-
sulti- from the action of the Epis-
copal board OF missions in sending
delegates to the Panama congress.
from which Roman Catholics were
barred.
A statement prepared by Bishop
Edsaii and signed by twenty-four cier-
gvmen. nearly all of whom are New
York rectors. was distributed today in
Episcopal churches where the rectors
are of the low or broad party, urging
congregations and ciergymen to. keep
cool and advising all not to indulge
IN public speech or writing except With
fair recognition OF all existing facts. :"
Interest in the controversy that
promises to have an important in
tiuence IN the future Of the Episcopal
Church was increased by the an
nouncement that the Right Rev Dan
lei s. futile, presiding bishop Of the
Episcopal Church In the United States.
has confirmed the fact that special
meeting OF the Houee of Bishops will
be held In Philadelphia on Wednes-
day, January IL. Bishop Tuttle tele-
eraphed from Macon, Ga. where he Is
holding Il preaching mission. that
Twelve bishops signed request that
he call a special meeting. and that
over forty bishops have pledged them
selves to attend the session. The re-
quest was made TO him shortly after
the meeting OF the board of missions,
when three bishops and two clergy
men. representing the high church
elements. resigned.
The statement prepared by Bishop
Edsall, and which the ''broads" made
their own by signing their names. con-
tains the declaration that he does not
believe there will he any division OF
Church over the matter OF the Pana-
ma congress.
| In some manner high churchmen
| in the city found out what was going
to happen. and many OF them either
preached ON the subject or made ref
erenees to the matter now uppermost
in most Episcopa!ian minds, The re-
suit was that the controversy In some
form or another was heard from the
pulpit OF nearly ali the i,nportan,
parishes in the city.
