CHRISTMAS CREED UNIVERSAL
AdIusts Itself to All Conditions and
All Places--it's Magic Influences
the World.

The festival called Christmas has
come to have creed wider than any
ritual. Its magic has influenced the
world in a degree more profound and
far-reaching than that Of any other
recurring incident marked by the MS
tory of mankind. It's sentiment has,
indeed, overfiowed all boundaries, both
of sect and of social condition. Its
high, clear note of cheer and charity
has appealed TO an unbounded degree
wherever human ideals have had sway.
Pessimism halts at its portal.
The creed OF kindness adjusts itself
10 all conditions and all places. lt
seems to be good working creed,
despite the unattractive phases of per-
functory giving and taking. 10 is a
cheerful creed. 1t strews life with gay
ETY. and color. 1t Is elimination TO
sentiments Of fair play, TO active SYM
patty, to the do-it-now impulse.
Christmas has no climate. 1t glows

more than a suspicion. It was the ruthless
SEASON when I was determined once for al
TO put everything into the spotlight OF hard
reason. Such folk were certainly st bottom
actuated by sentiments Of humanity; had no
confidence in the sternness Of their emotional
abnegation. In this I was right enough, but,
of course, was as subject as they to the very
failing eschewed when took my views from
my own emotional repulsions.
So began belief in nationality as the prac-
ticable means of communal action. We had
learned to enlarge the original family group
and to consolidate feudalism into territorial
sovereignty; we must be content to work with
such ideas as up to now we had developed, and
iuternationalism was too great jump. Patri-
otisnn was a useful quas-instinct, allied with
genuine group sense and the love for fight,
wav Of sublimation, as people would now say.

The Judgment of Heaven
Translated nth introductory Comment by Wiiam L. Mcpherson

began it? 1t is all foolishness! Leave me
alone!"
With that Achtermann sprang up and
rushed out of the room before the others could
stop him.
Karl Kreschke wanted to follow. But his
two guardians held him tight, and third SOL
der stationed himself at the door.
HE must give me satisfaction cried
Kreschke angrily. "He has insulted me-"
"Oh. get out" said one of the comrades.
Don't be fool. Do you want to challenge
Achtermann to duel? You can't do that IN
war time. Keep your blood cool for to-mor-
row. Take your grudge out on the French
Even if Achtermann began it, and even II ne
was in the wrong you'll both get into trouble
if you don't keep this affair quiet"
They stayed with Kreschke until all were
ready to 90 to bed. So, to all outward ap-
pearances, the storm had passed. But it still
ragged in Kreschke's brain. He turned un-
easily on his straw sack, kept awake by his
thoughts.
He was only a simple artisan, but he had
read many times of duels which were fought
between men of distinction when one had IN
suited the other. And all that ne had heard
about such encounters now came back to him,
and left him no peace.
He would have his rights against his ira
ducer The judgment Of Heaven-so ne had
once heard the duel called-would settle mat
ters between him and the man who mad stg-
roatized him as a coward. But then the thought
came to him that the war was also colossal
iudgment Of Heaven, though not exactly the
sort of Judgment which would, or ought to, set
tie the question between himself and Achter-
mann. Finally, there came back the remark
Of the comrade who had said that now was
no time for such child's play as avenglng
personal grievance.
So he fell asleep, and only the morning eau
awakened him, giving him no time to think
further about his affair Of honor
Il was only when they stood in the ranks
that Kreschke saw his traducer again. IL
seeroed TO him that Achtermann looked over
at him angrily and CONTEMPORARY.
Soon the march began. From afar of came

Each soldier knows that he will soon be the
