Pastor, Church Of Christ

In some way the birth of Jesus has
become to be associated with Christ
mas 1t is not thought by historians
that the Christ was born on the 25th
Hof December. No one even knows
the exact year in which Jesus came
to the earth. But to think of Jesus
coming to the earth as a gift from
God and as great sacrifice on his
part is beautiful thought, indeed.
Christs coming, from the standpoint
of the Father. meant the gift of a son;
from the standpoint of Christ his COM
ing meant the giving of his own life
am glad, for one, that we have one
day, at least, in each year that we
can look upon as Gift Day." 1t does
us good to give. God taught us to
give by giving himself, likewise Christ
taught us to make sacrifices by sac
rificing himself We cannot be close
and stingy and be like Christ. Christ
mas affords us an opportunity to op-
en- both our hearts and our purses and
show the other fellow how much we
love him.
For my part do not think wild,
promiscuous giving to be the proper
way to give. Christ gave to his enc
mics, he gave to the poor, and be 1t
understood that when he gave he did
so not expecting gift in return. To
be sure Christ gave to and blessed
his friends also. We snould make an
honest effort to be like our Master In
giving as well as in other respects.
Did you ever offer in any way to bless
an enemy? To do that might lead
both Of you to see your faults and to
get right with each other Did You
ever give to poor person without
expecting gift in return? Try thai.
for ! am satisfied 1t will not only
make you feel better but you will ac-
tually be better.

Pastor, First Presbyterian Church
And when they had opened their
treasures, they presented unto Him
gifts: gold, and frankincense, and
myrrh." Matt. Eli.
GOLD-He was the new born King
and nothing more fitting with which
to crown Him than the precious gold,
borne by these wise men from their
far away countries.
We, too, want to crown Him as King
of kings and Lord Of lords and there
fore should bring our richest treas
ure Our gold rightly used will help
to win jewels with which to bedeck
his crown.
FRANKINCENSE was an acknowl-
edgement of His divinity. It's use. as
an accompaniment of the meat-offer-
ing, arose from its fragrant odor when
burnt, in which respect the incense
was symbol Of the divine name and
it's diffusion an emblem Of the pub
fishing abroad Of that name. Hence,
as prayer is calling on Gods name,
the incense came to be an emblem OF
prayer.
We shall not suitably honor our
King this Christmas If we neglect to
fall down and worship Him. Nor will
our worship have it's highest value
unless we publish abroad that blessed
name. for From the rising of the sun
even unto the going down Of the same
my name shall be great among the
gentiles; and in every place incense
shall be offered unto my name, and a
pure offering: for my name shall be
great among the heather, saith the

CHRISTMAS PRAYER
By Grady Hughes

BY Grady Hughes
AT Christmas time, of Thee I'll ask
Not pleasures, gifts nor riches rare;
Not where withal to dorm myself,
But, Lord, thy love to bear the load
OF some poor, wretched down-cast
To reach the long-sought distant goal,
OF heaven, Thy home, that waits US
there.
! ask for humbleness Of heart
The symbol of little child
A soul that's clean, pure, indebted,
A conscience clear, an oren face,
FoA courage ample to erase,
The sinful thoughts that dare debase
That may better do my part.
! ask Thee, Father, to sustain
Our hero-boy who lives in pain
And If it be thy will, oh, give
Him strength sufficiently to live!
May dove-like peace DER spread the
land
And chase away the deathly hand
OF war that seeks to extinct man.
May Peace on earth, good win to
men,"
Ring out from every Christmas bell,
And all the blessed tidings tell,
Of the ancient Star Of Bethlehem.

In the District Court of the Seven
teenth Judicial District of the State
of Montana, in and for the County
of Phillips.
Agness Lord, plaintiff, versus
William Lord, defendant.
ALIAS SUMMONS.
The State of Montana sends greet
ings to the above named defendant:
You are hereby summoned to an
swer the complaint in this action
which is filed in the office of the
Clerk of the Court, copy of which
is herewith served upon you in the
county wherein you reside, and to
file your answer and serve copy
thereof upon the plaintiffs attor-
neys within twenty days after the
service of this summons, exclusive of
the day of service; and in case of
YOUR failure to appear or answer,
Judgment will be taken against you
for the relief demanded in the COM
plant.
That said action is brought to
obtain judgment that the bonds of
matrimony existing between the
plaintiff and the defendant be dis
solved, and a divorce decreed ac-
cording to the statutes in such cases
made and provided, upon the
ground that during practically all
of the time since or about the first
day of July, 1914, the defendant has
repeatedly abused and maltreated
this plaintiff, and the said defendant
has repeatedly threatened to inflict
grevious bodily harm upon the
plaintiff and has threatened to kill
her, and has acted toward the plain
tiff in such manner as to destroy
the peace of mind and happiness of
the plaintiff and to render the con-
tinuance of the marriage relations
between the plaintiff and the de-
PENDANT perpetually unreasonable
and intolerable, as will fully appear
by the verified complaint filed here
in, to which reference is hereby
made.

WILL FIGHT ORDER OF
RAILROAD COMMISSION

The order of the Montana Rail
road Commission compelling the
Great Northern railway to stop
trains 3 and 4 at Dodson, Nashua
and Oswego, is to be appealed to the
courts by the company and an order
| has been issued in the district court
at Great Falls by Judge j. B. Leslie
whereby the board of railroad COM
mlssloners of the state of Montana
is restrained from putting into OPP
Grafton its orders, 1873 and 1874,
which provide for the stopping of
Great Northern through passenger
trains Nos. 3 and 4, at Dodson,
Nashua and Oswego, pending re-
view by the court and a final deter
mination of an action which was
yesterday instituted by the Great
Northern Railway company asking
for the multiplying of such orders.
1t Is Observation-Disclosures
In it's complaint, which is very
voluminous. the plaintiff states that
July ~, 1915, the railroad commits
sion held hearing in Nashua and
afterward issued an order requiring
train No. to stop at Nashua and
Oswego to discharge passengers
from points west of Glasgow or to
pick up passengers destined for
points east of Williston, N. D., and
requiring train No. to stop at
those two stations to discharge pas
sengers from points east of Willis
ton or pick up passengers for points
west of Glasgow, and that on July
80, 1915, hearing was held at
Dodson which resulted in the issu-
ance of orders requiring those
trains to stop at Dodson under con-
.itions similar to those regarding
Nashua and Oswego.
The railway company alleges that
it's trains and 4 are high speed in
terstate passenger trains CARRYING
passengers, United States mail and
express to and from St.. Paul through
Montana to and from Seattle, and
that in operating these trains plain
tiff is compelled to meet severe COM
petition of other railroads. It is
further shown that these trains
make close connections with the
trains of other roads, at terminal
points which makes it imperative
that no time be lost between ter
minals.
1t is further stated that in the
cases of Nashua and Oswego those
towns are amply served by local
passenger trains 229 and 23O run
ming between Glasgow and Willis
ton, which furnish just and ade-
quate facilities for those two points.
1t is claimed that these two trains
are being operated at loss of
100000 annually and that the
stopping of through trains at these
stations will merely result in dim
inshing the earnings of the local
trains without any corresponding
benefit to plaintiff.
In the case of Dodson it is shown
that that town is served by local
trains 223 and 224, running be-
tween Great Falls and Glasgow and
which trains are stated to now be
operating at loss of 100000 an
nually |
The plaintiff alleges that the or
ders of the commission relating to
the stopping of the two through
trains at the determination of said
board be reviewed and that the
court find such orders to be unreas-
enable and unjust and that the same
be declared null nd void and the
commissioners be restrained from
enforcing said orders.
