There are a few fine, old fashioned
Christmas observances and pastlmes
that we have drifted away from, which
It is a pity to lose. 1t is all right to ex-
change presents at Christmas time, but
the mad rush of shopping that en-
crosses people q week or so before the
HOLIDAYS, indicates that Christmas
revelries are being replaced by a mere
exchange Of gifts. After this has been
accomplished there is nothing further
planned, and the universal Wish-for
a "Merry Christmas"-has small
chance Of fulfillment.
We cannot hope to have as many
days to give to gayeties as people mad
q few generations ago when the yuie
logs burning measured the length OF
the holidays. But one, or per-
haps more days can be planned
so that they will not have any dull
rnoments-and will not be too crowd
ed. Christmas is above all day for
family reunions and for merry making
among relatives and friends.
The Christmas carol has almost
been lost sight of-more's the pity.
Little parties Of children and young
people used to serenade their friends
and every house had little spread OF
cakes and candies, with other Christ
mas goodies, which they rendered to
the serenaders. Then there were the
small merry masquerade parties that
were liable to drop in rather early in
the evening of Christmas day. One
of the party, unmasked, presents him.

The Christmas tree seems to the
happy eyes of little folks the most
beautiful and splendid and gracious
thing that the long year brings to
them. Anticipation Of it fills the
children's thoughts and hearts for
weeks before the great day comes, and
they are happy to have a hand in
making preparations for it. It seems
important that the Christmas tree
should help to impress on young
minds the meaning Of the years great
est festival-that peace on earth,
good will toward men" Is the occa-
sion Of Christmas Joy and generosity.
Therefore the manner Of dressing the
Christmas tree is worth considering.
All the old-fashioned decorations,
which the children have always helped
to make, we love for old associations
sake-the strings of. popcorn and the
strings of cranberries. little tarlatan
stockings and bags for holding candy
and nuts. Besides these there are
birds and butterflies, stars and crosses
to be added to the list Of things that
are made at home. Festoons Of tin
sci, bright, fragile glass balls and
strings of bright -colored beads, that
are bought at the stores will last from
year to year, but the homemade deco
rations are new every year, and their
making is a part Of the play.
At the top Of every tree, on the tip
of it's apex, something that calls at.
tention to the day as the birthday OF

the Christ child should be placed, and
it ought to be the most conspicuous
thing on the tree. A bright Star Of
Bethlehem, the little figure Of an
angel blowing a trumpet oy one OF the
Christ child, or a bright picture OF
the infant Christ framed in tinsel is
to have this place Of honor. Nothing
is prettier than the old-fashioned
Christmas tree candles, but they are
more troublesome than little electric
lights and less safe-only to be spar
ingly used when there are no electric
lights to be had.
In dressing the tree strings of pop
corn and silver tinsel used more abun-
dainty than the strands of cranberries
or red balls, make the prettiest effect.
They set off all the many colored
trinkets placed among them, the red
apples and yellow oranges that find a
nlace on some trees and all the small
gifts tied to branches.
The heavier gifts wrapped in white
paper and tied with red and green
ribbons or tinsel cord are to be
placed at the base Of the tree and the
tree so dressed that when the small
gifts are taken off it is still thing
of beauty, the JOY and pride OF the
children during the Christmas holloay'

he dons his mask and enters with his
company usually all dressed up in
mirth-provoking togs. Then there is
guessing as to who is who, a little
dancing and everyone unmasks. The
host and hostess serve little refresh
ment and the masqueraders depart
Fathers and mothers get together be-
fore Christmas time to prepare and
be prepared for these parties.
Children play their favorite indoor
games that have come down to them
and will pass on to other generations.
The younger people-and others-hke
to dance at Christmas time, so these
amusements may always be depended
upon. One Of the easiest and funniest
features that can be introduced at q
Christmas party is the time-honored
shadow show. All that is needed for
this is a curtain made Of sheet, with
q very strong light behind 1t that Will
project on the curtain the silhouette
of anyone passing between it and the
light. The audience is seated in front
Of the curtain and all lights are turned
out except the one behind the curtain.
The factors" disguised In various
costumes pass between the light and
the curtain and the audience guesses
as to the identity of each one. After
the review the most successful guess
ers NAV become actors, while the ac-
tors who we're least successful in their
become spectators.

Dr.. Goodell to Speak on State
Religious Move Here Wednesday

Rev. L. E. Murray, president of the
Richmond liberation, will preside at
the meetings. Rev. Edgar l.. Williams,
the evangelism and its results in Mum
Gle and Delaware county, and the plan
of cooperation throughout the state.
This statewide campaign is to con-
tinue up to and including Easter. The
aim Is 100000 addition to the churches
of Indiana.
Constructive Elements.
Much more than additions to the
churches is the goal of this state move
ment. There are mentioned in the
booklet six important, permanent, con-
structive results, among which are TO-
600 more people in prayer meeting,
10000 more family affairs in the state,
$4,000 people pledged in the New
Testament League to daily reading of
the Bible, and house to house pledge
drive for everybody to attend church
and Sunday school.
In fact, the movement seeks to vel
come all good people to cooperate and
put over constructive, permanent, good
elements for social and religious life
The Indiana movement is unique, care.
fully organized by counties, and the
first of the kind in the country.
The state evangelism committee
now including twenty-five men, is to
be increased to 100 with a leading man
in every county on the committee.
This will mean that representative
from Wayne county will be named on
the state committee and this probably
will be done in connection with the
conference here next Wednesday. DR.
T. w. Grafton of Indianapolis, is chair
man of the state committee.
Arrangements have been made fol
! DR.. Goodell to lead devotional period
at the Friends Yearly Meeting Wed
