! am Christmas,
Listen, mortals, TO my message.
! put the trumpet to my lips and blow.
send my word out over all the earth, TO all
peoples and Chimes, and nations, and
tongues.
Pause from your strife Of words, from
your mad scheming and struggle. Just for
one day listen TO met
For ! bring you Word from the Most
High, from Him who stitch in the center Of
destiny, from Him who knows, loves.
And this is my Word.
BE HUMAN!
You are all men and women. You all
have heads and hearts, eyes and ears. For
you all the sun shines. Upon you all the
rain falls. You all must eat and drink and
love-
There is no difference. From where He
sits upon the Great White Throne, your dis
tinctions, your precedences, your SUPERIOR
ties, all are lost. You look alike, master and
servant. rich and poor.
A little while, and you were not. A little
while. and you shall be no more. Each Of
you once lay upon a woman's breast. All Of
you soon will lie quiet under the clods.

Washington, May 24-Employes of
the American Oil Companies in the
Tampico oil fields plan to erect a
monument at Tampico, Mexico, to the
memory of Major George W. Farwell,
of Tacoma Wash, who was killed in
action in Flanders while leading his
men of the 361st Infantry against the
Germans. Request for permission to
place the memorial has been sent to
the Mexican government.
Major Farwell was employed as a
civil engineer in the Tampico fields
when the United States entered the
war and he was largely instrumental
in inducing the American employees to
remain on the job and not to carry
out their intention to return to the
United States and enlist. Officials
here said that had the men left the
