"A CHRISTMAS prayer
By Rev. Ralph Curtis Jones.

Our Father, We are grateful to thee
on this Christmas day for all the good
things in life, thankful for the lowly
birth in Bethlehem, for all of which
we commemorate this day. May all
Christendom unite in a mighty force
to stop this ungodly European conflict,
and say as the heavenly host sang,
Peace on earth, good will toward
men," for we are sad indeed, at the
thought of thy children, who are
killing each other in the terrible war
that is being waged. In pity forgive
them. Oh, Heavenly Father, bring
them and their rulers to full reali-
cation of the sinfulness of war-that
those who have caused it may cry to
thee for peace May they get a
glimpse of the cross in its full mean
ing, and profit by the sacrifice made by
thy Son for the worlds redemption.
Our Father, may the world become
Christianized from all other religions
and PHILOSOPHERS, not merely in name,
but in the spirit of true Christian
brotherhood. Oh, Lord, let US all who
fai! to appreciate this great gift which
thou gavest to the world be so con-
science-stricken that they will at once
cease from their ingratitude and If
reverence and depart from the error
of their ways. May they become ad-
vocates of the Loving Master, who, as
the perfect man, said to all mankind,
Except We be converted and become
as little children, We shall not enter
the kingdom of heaven"
Dear Father, We rejoice with thee
for the hearts that Christmas will
make glad, for the little children to
whom Christmas brings so much joy.
Also we pray thee for those bereft of
loved ones on Christmas day to whom
this season brings painful remem-
brance. Console all that mourn the
loss of loved ones. Comfort us, o
Lord, with a heavenly vision and pre-
pare us to meet them in the holy city.
Give grace to the dying, cheer to the
sick and lonely, encourage the unfor-
tunate and dsheartened. Take all bit
terness and hatred from our hearts
and plant within US a true brother
hood. Give food to the hungry and
raiment to the poorly clad. Help us
all to find thee as our Brother and
Friend, our Comforter and Saviour,
and the giver of life everlasting.
We ask it all in Thy holy name.
AMEN.

a Gbristmas Carol

In the stiffness of the midnight,
In the silence of the Star,
In the slumber of the white lambs,
On the hillsides, near and far,
Came the Christ Child to his mother;
To the humble oxen's stall;
He, the Babe of Paradise, sweet;
Lord of Christmas, King of all.
Hush. let not word be spoken
OF his sacrifice for men.
STOPPING from his world of glory,
To be woman-born; pen
Of sweet straw to be his cradle,
He is ours, just ours, today,
Mark that mortal smile. that shining
Of the halo in the hay
While the palm trees rustic softly,
While his lullaby, the breeze,
Cfoons amid the angels anthem
Which the star-lit heaven cleaves,
We will claim him ours. our treasure,
Christmas Babe. and Babe divine
Hail. thrice hail, o mystic stranger,
Nesting in thy straw-filled shrine!
Helen Chase, in Brooklyn Eagle

Christmas 6reetinss
By William Marion Reedy.

MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all.
Let yourself surrender to the season.
Don't be afraid or ashamed to be bit
soft toward everybody. Obey that i'm
pulse to kindness. Throw off that in
hibition on spontaneous friendliness.
Note how it gets you more than you
give. Reflect how splendid it would
be to carry the feeling on beyond
Christmas always. Don't let the hor-
ror and misery of the great war OPP
press you. In the conflict men are
giving all they have and are for ideals.
They are making and shaping a new
world and a better one, building it
with the supreme sacrifice of self.
This world is what we make it. The
love habit will beautify and sweeten
it. Every little bit helps to make a
mighty fire of love eventually to burn
all hate away. Merry Christmas.

ovERCAME HIS HANDICAP.

While the chances OF success In life
are decidedly against the rich mans
son, John Hays Hammond, Jr.. has
demonstrated that wealthy parents
are not an insurmountable obstacle.
When young man has so applied
himself In his first six years out of
college as to have worked out an In
ventlon that may revolutionize naval
warfare. 1t is proper to list him
among the worlds captains OF
achievement.
When, In addition TO that he has
prospect of $4,000 as a tangible
token Of the appreciation Of his work
by the government OF which he is a
citizen. this young man Of twenty
eight years OF age may be said to
have arrived.
II is assumed that his radio torpedo
win do all that is claimed for It, else
congress would not be thinking Of
paying three quarters of a million
dollars for Ne ownership, and the
patent offices Of the United states
and 6ther countries would not have
granted the young inventor l2S pa
tents.
In these circumstances, young Mr..
Hammond has realized, TO an appre-
clahle degree at least, the dreams Of
the savants Of China more than a
/ thousand years before the coming of
Christ when they set down IN the
book OF Changes the theory OF an

Mexico Is little larger than most

not only inconyenient but also ex-
pensive for the candidate to VISIT the
voters more than once. But in this
whirlwind finish expense cuts but lit

travel as much as he pleases. It's a
good thing for some of them TO get
used to It, anyway.
Few Unopposed,
There are a few who view the APP
preaching primary with calm, con-
tented hearts. Look at Arthur
0Quinn. He holds down one of the
fat jobs. but there Is never an oppon-
ent against him. w. b. Robinson,
who wants TO be probate judge, is am
other who worries not. Prof. w A.
Poore hasn't been able to find sim
gle man In the county to run against
him, so he loses very little sleep over
the result. Or. Skeen is the only can
didate for state senator. Until a short
time ago Livingstone and caves, the
candidates for representative, were
also members of this fortunate class,
but about week ago J. c. Estlack,
editor Of the Plains Democrat. at Eu-
nice, knocked their little playhouse
over by announcing for that office,
making the very unhandy race OF
three men for two jobs Naturally,
neither Eaves nor Livingstone knows
who Estlack is running against. so
both of them must get out and hus-
tie to save their sealps.
Then there is old Bill Matkins who
should have been sent to the legsla-
tire last time, but wasn't. Watkins
is the ideal of American politics,
where the job seeks the man His
friends and neghbors over on the
south plains had to drag him out OF
the brush ana make him announce
for county commissioner. and the re-
suit was that about two weeks ago
his only opponent pulled out of the
race, and Watkins has it all his own
way. He would have been elected
