CHRIsTMASTIpE 1918
There was amazing joy that night on
Bethlehem's plains when angels brought
to the shepherds the message of "great
joy to all people," and sang their
chorus Glor. to God and good viii to
men, because Christ was born. There
was an ecstacy Of delight when the
wise men, following the guiding star,
were brought into the presence of the
Babe of Bethlehem, bowed the knee be-
fore Him, and poured their gifts at His
feet. And each Christian century has
gwen u richer meaning to the message
of the angels and the star. On this
great Festival, as the message encircles
the globe. may 1 mingle with my
merry Christmas" to all my readers,
the wish that there may come to you
such full realization of all that Christ
mas means, as shall bring the spirit of
gladness into your worship and the
spirit of joy into every good work you
undertake to do in the Masters service.
Affectionately,
P. L. D.

Many and varied were the Christmas
remembrances with which the Rector
and his family were favored by our pa
rlshioners. The Rector said in thank
ing his people on Christmas Day: cat
the Rectory everybody was made glad
by the kind thoughtculness of numerous
friends. Each year seems to add to the
list of loving friends who give express
sions at this season to their feelings of
affection and goodwill and it is all very
keeny appreciated. The spirit which
inspired them makes US glad and the
form in which the spirit was expressed
was happy and practical. Though we
are afraid we have been converted to
the Gold Standard. Thank you each
one and all very much"
THE CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS
We are told that never did St. Anne >
look more attractive than this Christ
mas. The Altar Guild did its work
with its usual skill and devotion under
the direction Of Miss E.hel Brady, in
charge of the chancel arrangements.
and the altar in consequences was ex-
quisitely beautiful. Between the chan
eel and the n I'VE was erected wooden
rood screen, which was covered with
laurel and the cross on the top was
lighted with an electric bulb. The
beauty of the evergreens and their ar
tistic arrangements together with the
ever appropriate Mexican Christmas
flower the poinsetta and the carnations
and sweet peas, the latter being placed
on the Lectern provoked many express
sions of appreciation.
CHILDREN's CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL
To the kind friends who contributed
towards the expenses of the Sunday
School Christmas Treat, (which was
held this year, en- Friday evening, De.
cember 9th in the church at half mast
seven) the Rector desires to express
his warmest thanks. He is grateful to
those who asked him to be their al
moner; because of them he is able to
make glad the children's hearts.

the auction sale. Three auctioneers
and severed clerks We're at hand t.
dispose and record the things as they
were brought up
Horses, calves, pigs, sheep, chick
ems, ducks, geese, eggs, butter, fur
niture and household goods, in fact
everything imaginable had been do
mated for the sale.
Throws Hat Into Ring.
The sale was opened when hat
taken from a bystander was handed
to the auctioneer and offered for sale.
This Melted a good sum as the owner
was determined to regain possession
of the property. Articles were then
brought up and disposed Of, most of
them bringing several times their
actual value and it could be seen that
those present were bidding to swell
the receipts of the day rather than
to get value for their money. Many
items were offered for sale several
times.
A feature of the sale was the offer
ing of a goat "a the kaiser's. This
was sold twice each time bringing a
neat sum.
About the middle of the afternoon
it could be seen that unless the sale
would be rushed all articles could not
be disposed of. A separate sale of
fancy work by the women was then
held and it was we'll towards even
ing when the last articles were dis
posed of and the sale came to an end.
The committee is as yet unable to
state what the total receipts were
but it is estimated that the amount is
several thousand dollars,
Again the citizens of Wishek and
vicinity have proven that they are be-
hind the government in the prosecu-
ton of this great war.
In the recent Red Cross war fund
drive this vicinity went over the top
strong as it did in the Third Liberty
loan drive.
When any of the county's soldier
boys pass through Wishek on their
way to the camps, the people of the
surrounding country always gather
here because they know the boys are
always given a "send off," And they
are never disappointed. The Wishek
Boosters club, live organization,
usually prepared short program and
with the assistance. of the Wishek
military band, entertainment is fur
nished for the occasion. ~,
AT a recent occasion of this kind
5000 people gathered to say farewell
to the boys.
When it comes to real loyalty, the
proof of which is deeds and not
words, the people of Wishek and vi
entity have always been found to be
true blue 49,
