BIRTHDAY OF CHRIST. - As
Christmas has been reduced to a
mere kermess of toys and gifts, the
import of the coming of the Saviour
is largely lost sight of, and even the
religious sense reduced to misCOn-
CeptiOns.
Mazdaznan considers Christmas
an exceptional season of rejoicing
from astronomical and astrological
standpOints, but all diligent Observa-
tons point toward the month of May
as the sign of the birth of Jesus, and
the 23d day has been held sacred to
His name.
We celebrate May % in honor of
'Him who came to His own, but His
received Him not" He came at a
time most needed, when mankind
played with the toys of the spirit and
destroyed the most beautiful in life.
He was betrayed and murdered by
those for whom He labored and in
teTCeded and His blood still continues
to visit the sins of the fathers unto
their children from generation to
generation in accordance to their
desires.
Our Masters life stands out in the
glory of the full sunlight without
shadow, yet all the world gropes in
Egyptian darkness and clings to the
flesh pots, making vain excuses for
their ignorance, and at the same time
making unto themselves many inven-
lions, destroying the freedom to
which they are called by God, reap
ing a whirlwind Of calamities from
which there is no escape. Study all
things, let no man deceive you and
hold fast to that which is good.
Jesus Christ, the Master, being an
example we strive to follow his ex-
ample in spirit and practice, not in
blindness or with a superstition. We

to this end may all of us continue to
prosper. Be it sO.-John McGregor.
THE PARADE.-The big newspa-
pers of this city, which are no more
than an advertising agency for GER
tain interests, are boosting a big pa
fade similar to the one of New York,
which was skillfUIly arranged by Wall
street.
The average man has no time to
read books and does not know what
kind of Literature to read. All he
reads is newspapers. Unfortunately,
the newspapers are controlled by
capitalists who do not allow the
spread Of knowledge among the peo-
pie, for it is to their interest that the
people be kept in ignorance and fear.
Therefore, instead of enHghtening,
they poison our minds with false
news.
No wonder the president expressed
himself few times that he has no
confidence in the press, because they
give out official statements which he
himself never knew of until he read
them in the newspapers, and he does
not know what the people think.
The people Of Chicago are well ac-
quainted with the subject of prepar-
edness and ought to know the object
Of the press in this movement.
I propose that labor Organiza-
tioins, the Socialist party and other
organizations in this city should
unite in arranging a parade and mass
meeting against preparedness and
the military training of school chill
dren.
If the papers can get 2OO,0 don
kies to parade for their masters, not
knowing the real purpose, we can get
100000 men and women who think
for themselves to demonstrate their
thOughts.-Morris MinoVitch.

Quarrel Aids Franklin
Unable To Agree with His
Brother, BENJAMIN Franklin
Begins Individual Career.
BY MADISON c. PETERS.

TN 1913 James Franklin published
the Boston Courant. The paper be-
came so virulent in its attacks on
churches and ministers that Franklin
was forbidden to publish it in his name.
Benjamin, his apprentice, then under
took to do so, but soon there was
quarrel between the brothers and they
separated.

of Boston.
Indentured to His brother.
Benjamin had been indentured to his
brother James for a period of seven
years and only for the order forbid
