THE PUBLIC FORUM
AGAINST BIRTH CONTROL

FNNFNllNO Din = WIZ
Quack advocates of birth control
may be likened to the RosicTUcians,
who, in the 18th century, were af-
fiTmed to have knowledge of all the
secrets of life, prOlOngatiOn of life,
etc. They believed that they could,
in time, defeat old age and death al
together. Long since we have been
convinced by reason that they med
died with many things beyond their
understanding and control
So it is today with the advocates
of birth control Reason shows us
that this mad, cratic wave of reform
is the result of qUack agitation by
both men and women who are free
thinkers on subjects WHICH they
never will understand. With them it
is a species of insanity.
1t seems to me that they are get
ting very personal with their Crea-
tor when they seek to control life
itself. If not suppressed it will not
be very long before their zeal will
lead them to try to control the uni

ing this order. More power to him.
After all the intellectual dope of the
so-calIed high-brows has been di-
gested, the one big thing in life that
Outshines all others is whether a
man't heart is in the right place or
not. We should remember this when
choosing, more to represent us in
matters of state.
The. only men qualified to govern
are men with a combination of heart
and brain. Others are out of har-
mony with humanity. And don't let
us forget the debt of gratitude we
owe Mr.. Cochran. The best way to
pay that is to boost for The Day
Book.-H. Mclaughlin, 304 Seigel.
BIG PROFIT.-It is wrong to call
the big capitalistic combinations and
interests big Business" because
while their business is big in volume
it is small in every other respect. Big
Profit is the proper term. Profit
means getting something for moth
ing, obtaining a value or receiving a
service without giving an equal value
or service in exchange.
A person is, however, entitled to
profit" out of a business common
surate with the services he person.
ally renders to others through that
business. Such a profit" is the
same as wages or salary. Just how
much a person is entitled for his per-
sonaI services is difficult to deter
mine. But it is beyond question that
he who is engaged in some business
or occupation, which is useless or
harmful to others, is entitled to less
than nothing, no matter how hard or
how great a genius he may be.
It is also beyond question that

Christmas dawns upon us in the year
1917 with all the gladness of previous
years, despite the bloodshed and mis-
cry. The spirit of Christma--the re-
joicing over the birth of the worlds
Redeemer-is more warranted than
ever. 1t is not the Christ spirit that
has plunged the nations into war. It
is not the spirit Of Christ that has
aroused the demon of hate among men.
I'm fact, it is the spirit Of Christ that
is the sweet smelling SAVIOUR that shall
bring light Of darkness. order oft o.
chaos and happiness out of misery.
When the issues of this war shall
have been settled. it win be the spirit
of the Christ-flled men that shall be
triumphant. What is the spirit Of fair

others as you would that men should

dren; who send defenseless people to

violate all established principles of
warfare and ethical teaching but the
lack Of the Christ spirit and the sub
stitution of the spirit Of might makes
right"
And so, in the light Of all these great
issues, there is ample occasion for re-
joicing over the annivel airy of the
birth of the Babe of Bethlehem And
we wish the men of the Twenty eighth

of that second clause would he con earth
peace among men who please Him" This
being. true. it should not be, difficult to
see that there may be war without the
Christmas message being discredited
Until men learn to put the doing of Gods
will before every other consideration it is
very probable that they shall have war
Jesus made it very plain that he did not
come to bring peace without regard to
righteousness. He says plainly: do not
suppose that came to bring peace to the
earth did not come to bring peace but
a sword" This is not inconsistent with
the real meaning of the Angels Chorus
righteousness must be established before
peace can be guaranteed. This saying OF
Jesus cannot be taken as a proof text by
those who maintain that war must always
be necessary. Jesus did not mean to JUS
tify war, but he certainly shows that it
was not only possible, but probable, SO
long as sin is entrenched in the world.
What he meant was that there is an 1r-
reconcflable conflict between righteous
ness and unrighteousness, and that this
conflict must manifest itself in one form
or another, until righteousness prevails.
This wartime Christmas may well
challenge us to a reconsideration of the
real significance Of Christmas. To us, not
appropriately, it has come to be a fes-
tival of good cheer and good will, This
has undoubtedly caused us to lose sorne-
thing OF its deeper and sterner signifi-
Christmas, that the real Christmas spirit
is the spirit Of sacrifice as well as of good

the world has been for centuries the
source of the deepest and purest joy:

The blessings which Christ brought to
the world are beyond measure; but he
brought them at the cost OF the bitterest
suffering When he gladly sacrificed all,
shall we complain that the sacrifices de-
lnanded Of US are too bitter? When he

A WAR CHRISTMAS.
By T. A. WIGGINTON
Camp Religious Work Director

For the first time in more than half
century, America faces war-Christ-
mas. There are two reasons why this
situation comes to us with more Of a
shock than ever before: First, because
we had come to believe that we had
passed the danger of any great war: and
Second, because this is the greatest and
most devastating war which the world
has ever known. Many believed that
ancy in the world as to prevent any gem
eTal war. Others thought that the de-
structiveneSs of modern war would cause
the vast business interests Of the world
1t is with quite shock, therefore. that
we find ourselves in the midst of the
most stupendous war in all history, in
this year of our Lord, 1917.
The situation is such as to cause many
to question whether we can consistently
celebrate Christmas in the midst of war
The true Christmas spirit, they say, is
the spirit of peace and goodwill Con-
siderations like this have caused the I'M
thinking to leap to the conclusions that
this world war Is against everything for
which Christmas stands, and effectually
discrediting to Christianity. Two possible
answers might be given to such q charge.
First, if Christianity is discredited by this
war. so is everything else which has en-
tered into our civilization, such as edu-
cation, applied science, craftsmanship,
and many other things which might be
proposed as q substitute for Christianity.
The best answer, perhaps is. that this war
does not discredit Christianity because
Christianity has never had fair trial.
This war grew out of those human re-
lationships in which, ii was generally sup
posed, Christian principles had no place
Let us look little more closely at the
Christmas message and see IL a part Of
our difficulty does not come from a ss1is-
apprehension of it's real meaning. The
chorus of the angels is usually taken as
epitomizing that message: GLORY to God
in the highest, and on earth peace, good
will toward men," That is the way it. is
fixed in cur thinking; but a truer reading

MlsTLETog MYTHS EXPLAINED

The good old custom of hanging the
mistletoe from the ceiling at the
Christmas festivities is said to have
it's origin in the idea that since the
plant did not havs its roots in the
ground no part of it should ever be
permitted to touch the elrth.
Among the Saxons the fact that lis.
tletoe was suspended from the roof of
a dwelling intimated to the wayfarer
that the hospitality of the house was
at his disposal, and beneath it's
branches friend and stranger, vasSal
and lord, gathered together in Gem
radeship and good cheer. The religious
aspect of the mistletoe tradition, which
had it's origin in the Druidical rites,
Druid with his golden sickle, merged
later into purely social srlybol, and
the idea of simple hospitality developed
into one of merrymalSing and a some :
what riotous entertainment.
The kiss of the Scandinavian goddess
expanded into the custom of a kiss Civ
en- for every berry that grew on the
Dough. Small wonder that, in spite
of the mistletoe having originally ex-
listed in the odor of sanctity, the church
came to regard it as an entirely pa
gan symbol and refused to allow it to
participate with the holly and the ever
green in the Yuletide derocations.
There is an ancient belief that the
mistletoe was the tree from which the
holy cross was hewn and that after
this was made the plant withered, and
ever afterward became a mere para
site growth clinging for support to
other and sturdier trees. Other stories,
however, credit it with divine gifts in
the healing of disease and the expul-
sion of evil spirits.-Good Stories.

they are responsible for a coal shortage
