Christmas Was FER Adults Then.


Seventy years ago Christmas was an
adult and u home festival 1t received
all it's honor, all its jOyOusness from
the ideas of father, mother and home.
1t was the golden ring that held all the
love and sentiment we associate with
those three almost divine words. Sons
and daughters might stray to the very
ends of the earth, but Christmas
brought them home again-in the body
if possible. but if not possible then in
the sweetest love and memory. If Il
child had done well it looked forward
to the joy of telling il to father and
mother at Chrisgnas;S-f it had done
Iii it felt sure of pardon ana help at
Christmas. Father Christmas" was
their own father, !and by Dis side stood
the dear, sweet mother, ever ready to
persuade and plead for all her chill
lren; glad TO .welcome.fglah to forgive
glad to praise; full Of sympathy for
every joyful and sorrowful condition

Not Alone on New Year.

OF course it is customary to make
New Years day the day-of new reso-
lutions. but there is no particular yea
son why we should confne this work
to this one day in the year In fact.
the very best resolution we can make
on New Years day is to resolve that
during the coming year we will use
every endeavor TO make each day
day of self improvement; that not
single day shall pass upon which we
have not attempted TO speak a good
word or do a kind deed for somebody:
that not a day shall pass upon which
we viii not try to weed out some of
the tares and brambles of character
that now offend others or some Of the
bad habits that offend even ourselves

Christmas Legend

The legend of St. Bonifaoe
and the first Christmas tree has
been beautifully told. The
scene lives before us-the Win
try night, Tic swelling hillock
crowned with the great oak
tree, the thunder oak" sacred
to the pagan god Thor; the
tongues of rudy flame, the
ranks of white clad warriors,
women and children facing the
altar; the hoary high priest
and kneeling child, the victim
doomed to die by the blow Of
the hammer, a sacrifice to
Thor, the hammeTer.,
Then the coming Of Bori-
face, the blow from the ham
mer turned aside by the cross,
the rescue of the boy, the fall
OF the oak DeneaLn Jhe mlSnCyA
blows Of the apostle, the story
of Jesus simply told and how
sin, not human. lifey is the sac
rifce he asks.
"And here" said The apoc-
tie as his eyes fell On a young
5 fir tree, with its top pointing
5 toward the stars, amid the.
divided oak1'here is the liv-'
3 ing tree, with no stain of blood
3 upon it, that shall be the sign

Christmas
Is Prophetic
BY Rev. DR.. r. S. MAC ARTHUR

"HE Christmas observance. for
tunately. is becoming more
n general each year. Many per-
sons who have no religious in
terest in the season observe it for its
delightful social features. This is it
self a genuine gain FOR all the inter
ests of our common humanity. More
and more are the religious denoinina-
tons of all creeds making a part of
Christmas a time of religious worship.
This also is change in n wholesome
direction.
In celebrating the birth festival of
our Lord we hold up before the world
the central thought in its history.
Christ's incarnation is the event around
which all other events revolve in small
err or larger circles.
This festival is the most joyous cele-
bration of Christendom. 1t makes the

VERY member of the Boys Corn
club In the county was present
at the meeting. There were
many others also. including
farmers, merchants and bankers. II
a jolly crowd that gathered TO
gether that morning Every one had
his Joke and his laugh. The noise new.
er ceased for a moment until the club
was called TO order and MIR. Burns
stepped mp on the rostrum to make a
few remarks before the awarding OF
the prizes began.

allowed his eyes TO wander about over
the crowd Of boys. as II he himself
was trying 10 locate the lucky youth.
The boys looked az each other and
tried TO guess the winner. But the
agent left Il 20 the committee to re

They didn't have hong TO wait. how.

Mrs. Powell didn't ike the idea Of
her son going on a journey to Wash

trip, so he decided to see the banker
and find out If he might not use the
money to buy a horse instead Of going
on a journey.

but I'd like 10 buy a horse with the
money, and then mother doesn't like
me to 90 unless some one else Is going

Sam told the truth. He had never
been 1fty miles from home. and after
the banker had asked him some more
questions he decided that the boy need

THE END.
A plot to dynamite a railroad bridge
near Ell Paso, Texas, was disclosed by
the arrest of an 1. w. w. worker.

tell you what you may do. 1t won't
after you return, If you have saved
enough out OF the 500. you may use
1t for whatever you like. AS for your
going alone. we can arrange that Mr..
Burns tells me that another boy is 60
ing from another state out this way.
aud you can join him
So 1t was arranged, and a week later
Sam and the other boy who had won a
state prize set out on their visit to the
capital of the United States.
They were both wanting to save as
much money as possible. so they didn't
ride in the Pullman or take their meals
on the train. When they got sleepy
they slept leaning back in their seats,
and when they got hungry they bought
sandwiches for 10 cents each. When
they arrived in Washington they had
not spent more than 81 each above
railroad fare.
1t would take a long time to tell all
about Sans visit to the capital. But
II was by far the most delightful and
instructive visit be had ever made. He
and his comrade were met by a pro
fessor from the agricultural depart
ment, and soon afterward they were
introduced TO nine other boys who had
just arrived. These boys were win
ners OF state prizes also, each one be
ing the best corn raiser in his state.
First they were taken to see the sec
rotary Of agriculture; then In a body
they visited the president and after
ward we're shown all the wonderful
sights Of the capital They visited con
gress and Mount Vernon, the home of
washington and a. the vast buildings
OF the departments and the Congress
siOnal library and the zoo, where they
saw all kinds OF animals. and the DO
tanical gardens. where Sam was Devil
dered and fascinated with the thou
sands of beautiful and strange plants.
When San returned home he had $40
left out OF the $500 With this he could
buy a pony for Florence's Christmas
and no have to nse the money that be
had made from the crops AS for his
mother. he had already decided to give
her his Jersey COW
One day some time after he had re
turned from his trip Sam sat on the
doorstep with his account book and
pencil. The years business was about
over and he was figuring up how much
had been made on the little farm.
Mother" he said at last. Il paid the
remainder Of our debts today and I've
just run up the accounts to see how
we stand. Our expenses were pretty
heavy this year, having to buy all the
feed for stock. besides groceries ana
fertilizer and other expenses. They
amounted to over $500 But every
things paid. and l figure that we've
made $1,000 clear"
Surely you have made a mistake,
SAM" exclaimed Mrs. Powell, I'VE
haven't made that much"
well, you can figure It out for your.
self. We've got 5000 OF it in cash in
the bank. The other 5000 is in stock
and feed and supplies. or course I am
counting In the prizes ! won. for they
are really a part OF II. | think we've
really got over 5000 worth Of stuff
that we didn't have when we moved.

things the chickens, the hogs, the COW.
