This Christmas is study in con-
trasts. One year ago, with the whole
world at war, the words peace on
earth, goodwill to men" sounded like
a cruel rnockery.
To-day, with President Wilson's
message, and the war thus comes to
an end" still ringing in our ears, the
traditional Christmas greeting has a
new significance.
Peace, actual peace, is not here. The
traditional observance of Christmas
Day is not yet possibility. Thou
sands, even millions, of our soldiers
are still under arms. 1t cannot yet
be as it was, home day, day of fam
lily reunions. of giving, Of YuIe logs,

This Christmas win be spent by the
largest army America has ever known
in camps and on foreign fields. In
the homes OF our soldiers there will
be vacant places and Iongings.
But If last year were the saddeat
Christmas the world had ever known,
1t is scarcely too much to say that this
IS the gladdeat Christmas the world

But to-day, as Christmas dawns again,
they have a new meaning.

The local branch house of Morris
and Company is shipping back to the
War Department 1900 cases of toma-

the needs of the soldiers. Manager
Smith stated that this is following i'll

The call came enc day and the
goods went the next. This was a

AHEAD TODAY

Did you move your clock ahead an

you did not, you are running behid

caught at that? Well, not much.
Just move your time piece one hour
forward now and talk about twelve
o'clock whe it is twelve. Say moth
ing about old time, or former time.
That's confusing and unpatriotic
The only thing necessary is for you
to move that time piece forward. DO
it right now. See that it is right and
speak only of the hour as il appears
in your time piece. That's all you
have to do.
UnGer this plan the Sunday Schools
start this morning at 1910. The
morning church services start al IL
o'clock. TIE night services start at
$50. There isn't anything else to the
time and there will be none if you
will follow the requirement-don't for
get to move the clock ahead.
Other and further announcements
will lie made in the churches today
with regard to hours OF services for
the future, but for Sunday the present
announcements will hold.
