That First Christmas and Now.

Under present world conditions our
thoughts fly back to that first Christ
mas with tears and deep spiritual
trembling. The message of that
Christmas is unheeded, and all is not
well with the world. The spirit of
peace and goodwill is not prevalent
among men-as the loving Heart of
God desires. Despite cur sentiment
taiism we must face the fact that the
world makes of Christmas mere of a
pagan orgy than Christian festival
II has become a time of gluttony and
debsuchery, rather than a season of
spiritual rejoicing over the Word
made flesh. F" The spirit of the Magi
who travelled from the far Orient to
Bethlehem to lay their gifts at the
feet of the Infant Saviour is in utter
contrast to the greedy game of graft
that is practised now at Christmas
time.
On that first Christmas night the
angels sang the joyful tidings of
peace on earth and good will to men
IN an era of military despotism and
heath darkness and cruelty. The
coming of Jesus was the first flush of
dawn Tin the dark pagan night Out
of their slavery, hearts turne to Him,
and the Church He founde q. a. instinc-
lively as sunfowers turn their heads
to the first rays of the morning sun.
On. perverse and unhappy Chri It
endom Because of your sins of separa
ton, the world has disobeyed the mess
age of that first Christmas and the dark
pagan night is nigh. Without unity
in the Heart of God you cannot emanci-
pate the world Without unity in the
II art of God all your talk of peace
and love and goodwill is mere YER
bi ge, pleasant to hear, and diverting.
but impotent in the crisis now over
whelming the world Like sounding
brass and tinkling cymbals are your
Christmas sentiments nowi Across
the intervening years those first Christ
mas carols ring reproachfulIy through
the thunder of numbering guns; the
groans of the dying; the weeping of
the widowed and orphaned.
How long, 0 God?

THE RIGHT MAN

Middies Pleased With Ingram Head
Coach.

Jonas" Ingram's acceptance of the
position of head coach next year marks
the first, and the most important step
towards Navy victory in 1916
1t is useless and impossible to at
tempt to express the qualification of
the regiment at the decision of this
officer, whose very name spells con
dence" The election of Ward to the
captaincy of next years football team
marks the second step. and a most
vital step.
For three years Ward has been a
member of the football squad. and is a
veteran OF two Army games AS a
worker he has no equal. his energy
seeming practically unlimited; his ef-
forts have brought him success in
three branches of athletics already
Those who saw his work during the
past season, and his still-mere- val
liable moral effect upon the line, must
realize that he is the man for the job

0ystermen Are Happy
Have Made Good Money.

This will be one of the happiesJ
Christmases for the local oystermer
they have experienced in many years,
because they have more money to
spend. The oyster season has been
one of the best so far The weather
has been favorable, almost ideal for
the oystermen, no freeze up and daily
the boats have been able to go ont on
the oyster bars. The prices for oys.
tiers have been good and the season has
been altogether encouraging, so that
this Christmas the oystermen have
more money to spend than for many
years previously.

LUDLOW STRIKE
 WAS JUSTIFIED
Says Rev. Gaddis, Who Was Connect. ed With the Fuel Companies
 Sociological Department.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-The Rev, erend Gaddis, formerly in charge of the Sociological department of the Colorado Fuel & Iron company, in testifying before the Industrial Re- lations commission today insisted that the miners employed by the con- pany were justified in striking be- cause of the brutality and corruption of the mine officials of the company, who by petty graft and brutality kept the workingmen down, preventing them from making a decent living, forcing the children to work at an early age in order that the homes might be kept together.
 The preacher claimed that he had made many reports to the officials of the company urging them to adopt a different attitude towards the men and not to consider the workers as cattle to be driven to the last ditch in an effort to secure greater divi- dends.
 J. D. Rockefeller, Jr., will testify this afternoon.
