The Christmas Spirit

Christmas peace is Gods; and
he must give It himself, with his
own hand, or we shall never get
it. Go then to God himself.
Thou art his child, as Christmas
day declares; be not afraid to
60 unto thy father. Pray to
him: tell him what thou want
est; say, Father, I am not mod
crate, reasonable, forbearing. I
fear I cannot keep Christmas
Alright, for I have not a peaceful
Christmas spirit in me; and l
know that I shall never get it
by thinking, and reading and un-
Outstanding; for it passes all
that, and lies far beyond it, does
peace, in the very essence Of
thine undivided, unmoved, abso-
lutte, eternal Godhead, which no
change nor decay Of this, created
world, nor sin or folly of men or
devils, can ever alter, but
which abideth forever what it
is, in perfect rest, and perfect
power and perfect love.-Kings-
ley.

PRODUCED a technically correct copy.
The other studied the painting, entered
into the spirit Of the artist, and pro-
duced not merely an imitation, but a
picture which glowed with warmth
and life. We r not, as Christians
simply to copy Christ, but rather to
become possessed Of his spirit and so
reproduce his life in our lives. AT
this Christmas season let US aim to
become possessed of the spirit OF
Christ, and so reproduce his life.
, In "Little Women" there is a story
told by Louisa Alcott out Of the ex-
perience Of her own early days. Tne
four children who r her heroines,
knowing of a neighbor in need, 60 In
q little procession and carry her their
breakfast. Another incident may be
recalled. It may not have been pre-
cisely Christmast1de, but it was win
ter, and the weather was bitterly cold.
The stock Of wood was low, and night
had fallen, when there came q KNOCK
at the door. A shivering child stood
there, saying that her mother had no
wood, that the baby was sick and the
father gone on a spree. She begged
for q little wood. "Divide our stock
with her." said Mr.. Alcott, "and we
will trust in Providence. The weather
will moderate, or wood will come" No
wonder that the> children trained In
the Alcott household grew up heed
less of privation and generous to those
whose need was great. This is the
true Christmas spirit. IF u Christ
mastide is pervaded by real unselfsh-
ness, we shall manifest to every one
the love that Christ brought to the
world.

Safety First

Don't allow children to touch the
lighted tree.
Don't remove presents from the tres
while it is lighted.
Don't leave anything highly tnfam'
mable near the tree.
Don't set the tree up haphazard!y,
Be sure it is securely fastened so II
will not tip W easily.
Don't blow a candle out. The flame
might be carried against a dry branch
and set fire to the whole tree.
Don't fasten any tinsel ornament
near any lights on the tree. If one
should ignite the blaze would spread
all over the tree.
Don't forget to fasten the candles
securely to the uee II canQleS are
used. Also avoid placing them I'M
der another branch.
Always have a wet sponge conven'
lent to the tree. A candle often burns
up too quickly, and the sponge could
be used to extinguish it.
Don't leave the tree until you are
sure the lights are all extinguished,
and never trust the work Of extin'
gushing the lights to children.
Don't light the tree after it has
stood in a warm room for three OF
four days. It becomes so dry it will
burn almost as quickly as powder.

DAY OF DAYS FOR KIDDIEs
Christmas Outranks Alt Other HoiI.
DAYS for the Happiness and Mer.
rynsakinq Of the Youngsters.

Above all other holidays, Christmas
Is children's day. If possible, they
should be made happy on that day.
But they should not be permitted to be
selfishly so.
In times past there has been q tend
ency on the part Of many of US to give
too many gifts, and too expensive Ones
to our children. We have been waste
full. We should not love our children
less-indeed we would show greater
lovely being careful what we give
them. Too many toys incline children
to be both w~asteful and destructive.
When the youngsters are left to IN
vent some of their playthings, their
Vaccinations are developed, and they
become more capable Of doing things
for themselves and taking care OF
themselves.
This Christmas would be a good time
to begin teaching children unselhsn'
ness and the joy Of giving. Many a
poor mother is struggling to PROVIDE
food and shelter for her children ana
has nothing to give them from Santa
Claus. The children Of such mothers
are going to have wide, wistful, tear
stained eyes. They are going to crave
the ioys of a Christmas day that may
not be theirs.
While our fathers, brothers and sons
are at the front, risking health ano
life for us, for Jul country, for gooo
In the world, let US not forget those
children who lack a fathers care and
protection. The good fellows are 90
Dig much. But they need u help
both in giving and in seeking out the
needy. They need our aid In distr1Dut'
Ing as well as providing.
Let US not forget the spirit 1of
which Christmas stands. It is to give
freely, to do service to mankind. Let
us give love. Let us give sympathetic
understanding. Let US give ourselves
He lives most who lives for others,
And he who shall have made a chllo
happy on Christmas morning will have
done q service in his name.

St.. Winntred
and the 7ree

One story Of the origin Of the green
tree as the Christmas tree among the
people of northern Europe is given in
a legend of st. Winnifred. It is one
of the many thousands Of those sim
Die and beautiful beliefs that have at
tached themselves to the midwinter
festival and which generally pass now
under the name of christmas myths"
1T is related that st. Winnifred, a great
Christian missionary, began cutting
down a sacred" oak which had been
the object Of worship by the northern
pagans whom he was seeking to lead
Alright. While he was hewing down the
huge tree it was blasted by a sudden
whirlwind. Close beside it was q
young fir tree, which was not harmed
either by the whirlwind or by the fall
' Of the giant oak. Then st. Winnifred
is reported to have spoken as follows
to the pagans:
"This little tree, a young child OF
, the forest, shall be your holy tree to-
night. It is the wood Of peace, fol
your homes are built of it. 1t is the
sign of an endless life, for it's leaves
are always green. See how it points
toward heaven! Let this be called the
tree Of the Christ Child. Gather about
it; not in the wild woods, but in your
homes; there it will shelter no deeds
of blood, but loving gifts and acts Of
kindness"
The fir tree, the common evergreen
of the northern regions, became the
holy tree Of the converted pagans, and
in it's honor or in memory Of the
thoughts it stood for they decorated II
with lights and gifts at Christmas.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1918-12-26

Don't trim the tree with cotton to
represent snow. Use an asbestos prep
aration which looks like cotton. This
applies particularly to those who 1lu'
inmate their trees with candles.
Don't light the trees with anything
but. electric bulbs, If possible. Where
it is impossible to use electricity never
leave the lighted tree alone and never
allow children in the room unless ac-
companied by a grown-up person.
Don't set the tree up near uphoi'
stored furniture. The danger OF
sparks setting it aire is great. A
piece of such furniture might smol-
der for hours without being discov'
ered-probably not until the family
has been in bed some time.

Nearness to New York, "hub" Of

age and a handicap to the New Jer-

when questioned regarding the earlier

serious drag upon production. This
has been reduced to 8 and s percent,
and the yards are operating with vir-
tually permanent forces.
Numerous railroads, trolley and bus
lines, several of them newly built to
carry s~hipworkers, have saved New
ark from an enforced national or
municipal housing project. Yet thou
sands Of men are compelled by the
suburban locations Of the yards to
make long trips in crowded cars, with
the result that the labor supply is I'M
stable. The Bethlehem plant. employ
ing a comparatively small force, has
found Elizabeth housing and trans
portation conditions fairly adequate.
The Jersey shipbuilders employ a
wide variety of construction methods.
The Submarine Boat corporation has
developed to a high state the use OF
fabricated steel. It's $4,000 men, in
GLIDING many structural iron workers,
are erecting vessels Of $500 dead
weight tons out Of parts prepared v e
out the country. Since Memorial day,
when the Agawam made her splash"
eight vessels have been launched, and
with $50 riveting gangs in action, pro-
duction Of three ships a week is ex-
pected. .-
It seems fitting that Kearney, NAM
ed for General Philip Kearney, New
JERSEYS. most beloved Civil war hero,
should be the scene of a mighty eff
fort in the winning Of a greater con
flict. In this town are located the
yards of the Federal and Foundation
companies. The former launches ships
in the Hackensack river, the latter. in
the Passaic, and the yards adjoin. The
Federal company is producing $500
ton freighters Of semi-fabricated con
I, structtOn. Employing $500 men, many
of them veteran bridge, builders, the
concern has put into practice methods
hitherto unknown in shipbuilding. The
launching of three hulls since June
10, with promise of two a month in
the future, is the result.
From the roar of riveting to the
hum of saws and the thud Of AIDES is
the transition of a: moment as one
passes from steel shipbuilding at the
Federal plant to the wooden con-
struction of the Foundation company.
In a yard redolent of yellow pine g.
900 men are building ships after the
homely fashion of our forefathers.
Seven ~3,50O-ton carriers already have
the ways at the rate of two a month,
or faster If the Emergency Fleet cor
poration speeds up the lumber sup
ply.
At the Moore plant at Elizabeth
port the 3,5O0-ton steel freighter
Plainfield has had. her trial trip. This
vessel and the Garfield, nearing COM
pletion, were on the ways under order
of the United Fruit company when
the United States declared war. With
a 5,000-ton tanker, to be launched in
October, they, were requisitioned by
the government. Here also are being
built thirty ocean going tugs $50 feet
in length, six of which have been laid
down. L~aunchings, two a month, will
continue until the end of 1919.
