Men Worship Pershing.
Mr. link says that the people OF this
country, who admire PerShing, can
hardly imagine how he is worshipped
by the men over there, and the Won
derful spirit he has shown, not only
as a great leader but as man, in his
relations with the American soldiers.
AS an evidence of this he quoted the
following general order sent out by
the commander:
Hardship will be your lot, but
trust in God, Who will give you cour-
age Temptation will be fall you, but
the teachings Of our Saviour will give

CHRISTMAS AND TIE SPIRIT
Necessary to Manifest unselfishness
and the Love Christ Brought
to the World.

Two artists were asked to make a
copy OF famous painting: The one
made mathematical calculations, and
produced a technically correct copy.
The other studied the painting, entered
into the spirit of the artist, and pro-
luced not merely an imitation but q
picture which glowed with warmth
and life. We-are 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 story
told by Louisa Alcott out of the ex-
perlence of her own early days. The
four children who are her heroines,
knowing of a neighbor in need, go in
little procession and carry her their
breakfast. Another incident may be
recalled. 1t may not have been pre-
cisely Christmastide, but it was WIN
ter and the weather was bitterly cold.
The stock of wood was low, and night
had fallen, when there came knock

wood, that the baby was sick and the
father gone on a spree. She begged
for 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 our Christ
mastide is pervaded by real unselish-
ness, we shall manifest to every one
the love that Christ brought to the
world.

DAY OF DAYS FOR KIDDIES
Christmas Outranks All Other He'll
days for the Happiness and Mer-
rynakins 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 tend
ency onlthe 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 wasteful and destructive.
When the youngsters are left to in
vent some of their playthings, their
imaginations are developed, and they
become more capable of doing things
for themselves and taking care OF
themselves.
This Christmas would be good time
TO begin teaching children unselfisn-
ness and the joy of giving. Many o

are going to have wide, Wistful, tear
stained eyes. They are going to crave
the joys of Christmas day that may
not be theirs.

are at the front, risking health and
life for us, for our county, for good
In the world, let US not forget those
children who lack a fathers care and
protection. The good fellows are DO
ing much. But they need our help
both in giving and in seeking out the
needy. They need our aid in diStribut-
ing as well as providing.
Let us. not forget the spirit for
which Christmas stands. 1t 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 child
happy on Christmas morning will have
done service in his name.

Forgot What He Needed.

From the Republican, Mt. Giliad.
Ohio: The Editor had an interesting
experience some time ago, when a
young man came to this office and
asked for a copy of the Morrow
County Republican. He scrutinized
it carefully when copy was handed
him, and then said: 'Now I know"
"What is it you are looking for" we
inquired. "My wife sent me after
a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, and I forgot the name. I
went to several stores and the clerks
named over everything in the line on
the shelf except 'Chamberlain's. I'll
try again, and I'll never 60 home
without Chamberlain's Cough Rene
dy." The Republican would suggest
to the proprietors of stores, that they
post their clerks, and never let them
substitute. Customers lose faith in
stores where substituting is permit
ted to say nothing of the injustice
to makers of good goods and the
disappointment Of customers.
