Christmas.


White is the frost upon the fir,
And white the rhine upon the thorn,
An ashen cloud with threat of snow,
Has yelled the eyes of morn.
The wind is like a burdened heart
That may not still it's plaintive moan,
And sobs behind the wooded hills
In eerie undertone.
And yet within the chimney's throat
The backlog sings with lyric glee,
And there is sound of children's mirth
And buoyant minstrelsy
And down the spacious aisles of air
Triumphant music sinks and swells,
Their "Peace on earth, good will to menu
Peal out the Christmas bells.

SUCCOR Is NEEDED
in EASTERN ASIA
Saturday and Sunday Set Aside as
Syrian and Armenian Relief
Days in America.

Saturday, October 81, and Sunday,
the 22, have ben designated as Re-
lief days for the stricken Syrian and
Armenian people by President Wilson
in proclamation The people of
these two countries have suffered ter
rible losses through war and priva-
tions resulting from the war.
Resolutions by the Senate and
House to the effect that the President
designated such days were passed ear
ly in July. In compliance with the
resolutions the President issued the
proclamation.
The Federal Council of the Church
es of Christ in America has sent out
an accordant message, urging that
contributions be liberal and numerous.
In part the latter message says:
"Our brothers and sisters perish by
persecution, hunger and thirst, and
face death or endure a pitiless tor
ture, both physical and moral, which
is immeasurably worse than death, in
part because Of riligious faith which
our churches and our missionaries
have sought to confirm within them
The whole feature of the Christian
church in Eastern Asia is in peril.
The message urges that Sunday be
set aside for the occasion and made
a day Of "intercession to God and en-
treaty to the hearts of men for the
Armenian and Syrian fathers, moth
ers and little children"
The appeal will be made in practi-
cally all the churches of Greenwood
Sunday and your contribution will
go to the aid of these people.
