ST. MARKS RECTOR
TELLS OF CHRISTMAS
REV. w. H. BRIDGE SENDS SEA-
SONS GREETINGS TO STAR
MIRROR READERS

To citizens of Moscow, to all men
and women of good will, everywhere
Greetings; May Christmas bring
JOY and riches, real riches, oceansful
OF the things that money won't buy
--kindness, gentleness, good fellow
ship, peace within, the will to keep the
strength to do, the open hand the big
heart; these things we wish upon YOU
this season.
Did some frozen heart saw Christ
mas makes no difference? Brother. I
don't believe it; come here and let me
tell you the long tale of good deeds
the old season has inspired; let me
tell you of the millions of children's
hearts made to dance with joy, and of
the grown up children who have
caught touch of the glow and charm
OF the joy of past days
But does anybody disbelive? I
challenge them to call at any house
in Moscow on Christmas Day. and if
they do not find Christian welcome
and good cheer-well, let them still
disbelieve!
What does it mean for Moscow?
| will tell you what it may mean:
business, oh, of course-but good
business doesn't guarantee happiness
after all. No, it may mean the sweep
ing away of all i'll thoughts; the for
getting of the years offences; re-
newed fellowship between the es-
tranged. Little towns need Christmas.
In a year so many small quarreIs
come; so many things many of us saw
that hurt or offend: so many WAYS
we an thoughtless, impatient, irrit-
able, hard, unsympathetic and so
many feuds are bred Mrs. x passes
US by in the street, with eyes on the
sidewalk and Mr.. Y proclaims our
pet weakness amongst our pals.
Then comes Christmas to sweep it
all away and give US kindness for
scoon; to make us Taught not at, but |
With each other. We know that after
I'll love and laughter are more healing
Kings than contempt and derision.
So it is-God comes; for God is
owe and life and joy, good will, yes
and laughter, too; and makes life
weet and clean again.
SO may He Bless us-everyone!

he used to live and address few
remarks to the Linn county neigh
bors who are to gather in the yard.
Everybody at the dinner, except
General Pershing, can eat as much
as he pleases, but the general must
save room for the fried dried apple
| pie that Aunt Susan Hewitt, 70
years old, has baked for him.
The visit to Aunt Susan, who used
to bake pies for John ]. Pershing
long before anybody ever dreamed
he would be general, is an impor-
tant part of the homecoming cele-
bration of the commander in chief of
the American expeditionary forces.
Laclede has planned a different
sort of day from any the general
has spent for many years. It will be
day of shaking hands with neigh
bors, and "Howdy, John" and "John,

happen to run across him, did you ~
Where Laclede will put the visitors
nobody knows, probably in Brookfield
and Linneus and other nearby towns.
But that is matter that doesn't
trouble Laclede much. For Johnny
Pershing is coming home; he gets in
on the noon train from ST. Louis and
the railroad (even railroads have
hearts it seems) has promised to
leave off the express today so that
General Pershing will be sure to get
home in time for dinner And for
eight hours "Black Jack" will belong
to the modest town that gave him
birth.
This is Laclede's historic day; for
years they will tell stories of John
ny" Pershing's home coming and
what he said at dinner, and point to
the place fright there's where he
stood when the governor pinned that
gold medal on him that the state gave
him" That ceremony is to occur after
dinner, where the crowd on the lawn
can see it.
At dinner silver loving cup,
brought by old friends of the general,
will be given him.
Plan Big Reception.
At 2:30 there will be reception at
the city hall, where everybody who
can get in will have chance to
shake the generals hand, and then
there is that scheduled visit to Aunt
Susan Hewitt, for Aunt Susan is bed
ridden now and can not come to the
celebration.
She has announced that she wants
a few minutes real visit with Johnny
and chance to watch his face
when he sees that dried apple pie.
He used to poster her to death for
just such pies when Aunt Susan
husband used to run the tavern. 1t
was hard to tell which John Perish
ing liked best, Aunt Susan says.
hose dried apple pies or Captain ia
cob Hewitt's stories of the civil war.
Laclede is sure those yarns had
to do with Pershing's de-
:iding to become soldier.
While General Pershing is being
'teered by the welcoming commit
zee, a committee of Laclede women
will entertain Miss Fay Pershing,
he generals sister, and a crowd of
he committees sons will pump War
en- for little inside information
bout France and just how his father

journeyed far from his palace to
visit some Of the creatures on the

serve most?
