GREATEST EVENT IN HISTORY WAS COMING OF CHRIST
Rev. George H. Ewing Breaches at the Congregational Church on Wondrous | Glory of Christmastide.

At the First Congregational church sunday morning the decora tions of red delks, hemlocll and poisettias, were ! reminders of Christmas. The posts were wound with evergreen, small trees were avout the platform and the pulpit was banked with greens
 The text chosen by Rev. George H. Ewing for the sermon was, For in Him dwelleth all the fullness or the Godhead bodily. This is bound to be chimes are ringing, peace and joy
 reign supreme. We do not know how early Christmas was a festival of the church: it is next oldest to the in- stitution of the Sabbath. Over a
 thousand years ago other festivals cycle of festivities. The manager songs and Christmas carols were first intro duced into the Catholic church. When touched by the Christian mo- | tive, charm is added to the joys | of this season. The wondrous glory
 of the Christmastide sweeps through | our land from east to west, from | north to south it marks a shining
 pathway through belligerent and neu- tral nations. To the modern man the birth of Christ is the greatest event | in history. Men and women may be
 made whole in the Christ and grad l uallX rounded out into the measure | and stature of their Example. The | memory of the Christ-Child sends us l forth to walk with Christ upon the | highlands of life and find a1 last the 1 perfected life.
 The offertory solo was a fine inter-
 pretation of Manney's Calm on the
 Listening Ear of Night. given by w | B. MacLane of Boston. The large chorus choir gave in sweet tone and l perfect harmony the carol. Hozanna 1 in the Highest; in the anthem, We | Have Seen His Star in the East, was
 voiced the longing and fulfilled desire l of those seeking the Holy Child. The triumphant note in the closing an-

The Buttermilk House BY M. Quad.

am the only one around here with but
termilk to sell. and can put any price
on 1t like"
The Young man who was the victim
Of an extortioner planned to get even.
He took the landlord into his conf
dence. AID there was a conspiracy to
smash Mr.. Stebbins' trust.
After ten mile auto ride down the
valley and back only one family was
found so situated that they could help
Mr.. Harper carry out his plans. This
family was composed Of widow and
a Swapping daughter They owned and
worked little farm together, but they,
did not even have one COW nor any
outfit with which to deal with the but
termilk question. In a conversation
the young man had with the strapping
girl on the doorsteps he asked:
Can you and your mother milk and
take care Of six or seven cowsf'
Yes, or ten of them" she answered.
"Can you drive horse and wagon:r
"You bet"
And what did young Mr.. Harper do?
He sent an agent out TO buy six or
seven cows, a big churn that turned
with a crank, small cans and big cans
and horse and wagon to contract for
a supply Of alfalfa to feed the cows
on during the winter. When all these
had been secured everything was pre-
scented to the widow and the daughter
as a free gift, and they were told to-
20 into the buttermilk industry for all
they were worth. They had to sign
contract to supply the guests Of the
Mountain hotel with all the buttermilk
wanted for the next FIVE years, and
they were not to ask above Is cents
a gallon. It was figured that at this
price the profits would be about II per
cent
One morning the mighty Mr.. Steb-
bins. who had run a one man trust
for two years, drove up to the hotel in
his mightiness and began to unload his
cans Of buttermilk The guests ranged
themselves on the veranda with smiles
but firmly announced to Mr., Stebhins
that no more of his butterInilk was
wanted The Stebbins buttermiIk trust
was smashed. 1t was smashed as fat
as a pancake. 1t was smashed by a
young man, a widow and a strapping
girl.
And when the strapping young girl
drove up to the Mountain House for
the second time with the light of tri-
umph in her eyes and about barrel
of buttermilk in her wagon she saw q
painter on a ladder in front of the
house, and he was painting out the old
sign preparatory to painting in new
one which should read ''The Butter
milk House" And the hotel is thers
yet, and the sign is there yet, and
every guest there is following the
doctors orders and is drinking COOL
good buttermilk There is two wom-
an trust, but it is a trust to be praised
and not busted.

Then there's no use in Dewey's wait

1t came lin So hours), and Dewey
didn't sail. But the emperor politely
asked Roosevelt to become the arbi-
traitor in the dispute with Venezuela.
Roosevelt declined the honor, turning
the business over to The Hague court
Of arbitration.
Roosevelt publicly applauded the
emperor's magnanimity in the cause
Of peace; and for the state of good
feeling kept sagaciously silent about
the inner facts. These were not
known to the public till years after
wards when the life of Secretary
Hay was published.
What was the object of the kaiser's
fear? The American army? Dewey or
the navy? Or just the colonel? 1t is
a fact sometimes forgotten that in
Roosevelt's term the army was &C
tually reduced in size, as not being
needed. The navy was weaker than
today by good deal.
There could be only one cause for
the kaiser's backdown, seeing that at
that time he had no European quarrel
on his hands. He feared that the Ger.

The league is rot above accepting

advertising documents, entitled "H'h at
the Navy League is Not" arcrs that
the Navy league. is unfortunately
untary support"
According to the most recent litera-
ture of the organization that has come
to my hand, there are 81 directors of
the Navy league, including such pow
erty-stricken millionaires as J. P Nor
gan, Robert Bacon, Perry Belmont,
George Won L. Meyer, William A.
Clark, the Montana copper king, and
others. The personal fortunes of these
81 men, at the most conservative es-
innate, aggregate $100,000,000 which
is an average of more than $3000,000
per director. This does not include
the millions of r. NJ. Thompson,
president of the league, or those of
Herbert L. SatterleC. brother in-laW of
]. P. Morgan, counsel for the league.
1t is questionable whether the views
of any board of directors whose per-
sonal fortunes average S2,000G00 can
be representative of the attitude, feel
ings and heartbeats of the great mass
of the American people, a large por-
ton of whom are hard pressed to OBJ
tain the barest necessaries of life. 1t
is especially difficult, however, to
imagine these gentlemen neutral on
the question of increased naval ap-
preparations because to more than one
OF them the Navy league propaganda
spells vastly increased incomes for
them at the expense Of the many.

NAVY LEAGUE FOR DEFENSE!
By Congressman Clyde II. Tayenner.
(Reprinted from the Congressional
of Nav 3, 1861

(Reprinted from the Congressional
of May 3, 1850
The Navy league has been spending
large sums of money to tell Americans
that it is organized for the defense Of
the country.
The Navy league is deceiving the
country, and its own official organ, the
Seven Seas" magazine, proves the de-
CeptioI.
On page IS of the September, 1915,
issue, appears the true gospel of the
Navy league.
We read: THE true militarist be-
lieves that pacifcism is the masculine
and humanitarianism is the feminine
manifestation of natural degeneracy.
- World empire is. the only log
ical and natural aim of a nation
Then, on page % of the Seven
Seas" for November, 1915, is an en-
largement upon the defense" idea, as
follows: at is the absolute right of a
nation to live to its full intensity, to
expand, to found colonies, to get rich
er and richer by any proper means,
such as armed conflict, commerce,
diplomacy"
Here we have the philosophy of the
Navy league. Real it again ana again,
until you realize it's full significance,
and it's full danger.
1t would be interesting to know Just
what thoughts were running through
the mind of the writer of the follow
ing, which was taken from the Navy
League Journal Of the issue of Aug
ust, 1903
With the signs of social danger
about US with capital and labor
under strange conditions brought
about by the stupendous changes in
the relationship between money and
men, too much stress cannot be laid
upon the necessity of intoxicating into
the minds of all, the cardinal old
fashioned principles which are the
foundations of discipline, of respect
to command, and of duty to and from
subordinates. No school promotes
these virtues like a sailors life; no
education is better than that of the
navy. A small navy, supplemented by
large reserve, will help materially
to avoid future domestic strife and in
sure victorious service"
Whenever the Navy league needs
big money, it gets it from Wall street
sources. At a little luncheon held il

THE PLAINFTELD SYSTEM.

= The mayor of Plainfeld, n. j., a
city Of 5000 inhabitants, has devised
plan of Furnishing offenders without
bringing undue hardships TO the mem
bers Of their families. The plan has
been tried for some time and has
proved a success. In brief it is this:
Instead Of fine or Imprisonment or
suspension of sentence the plan COM
pels the payment of fines on the in
stallment plan. In cases of arrests
for drunkenness, for instance, sched-
ule was adopted, graded according to
income and size of family and also
according to the mans record. In
the case Of man with a family the
fine for first offense might be 81; 81
down and the balance a week later
For a second offense, IS, payable also
in weekly installments. And so on
Offenders were required to report each
Saturday night for the payment Of
installments and again on Sunday
morning OF each week for probation
review. This was found to be very eff
fective as it bridged over the Satur-
day night period Of temptation. The
mayor in discussing the plan says
among other things:
Il can well appreciate the difficult
ties surrounding the police court ad-
ministration in our larger centers of
population, if Plainfeld. with practic-
ally no crime problems, with only
eight saloons in a population of 25,-
600, and with its streets remarkably
free from drunkenness or other pub
lie disorder, is yet confronted on a
small scale with the question how,
