Charity at Christmas.

There can be no holier sentiment at
tached to a gift on Christmas day
than charity, for charity combines all
that is good and tender in human
ideal, impulse and emotion. There is
double JOY in charity, for it blesses
two. 1t not only gives happiness in
the act itself, but it quickens and de-
velops, for all after life, pure, pre-
ciOus qualities of mind and heart that
are a well-spring of peace. Charity
comes nearer to spanning the immeas-
urable space between the sin of this
world and the holiness of heaven
than any other blessing that mankind
knows.
An ideal Christmas which would
really mean genuine good will among
men is, one in which none should be
cold. hungry, shelterless or friendless
one in which they who have would
think first of them who have not

docile and attentive to their duties he
will fill the cap or stocking with dam

certainly has rod in pickle to bring
along for them.
Saint Nicholas has found his way to
America in double role of benefactOr
and bugaboo. Among the Pennsylvania
Dutch parents still admonish children:
BE good. PelZnickel will get YOU
Pelznickel being species of unkind
Santa Claus and closely related to the
"Old Nick" In some sections Kris
kringle appears in combined role of
Santa Claus and Christchild. He has
other names-Samiclaus, Clawes Mig.
10, Nikolo.
Although strangely little is known of
st. Nicholas in America. a few
churches scattered over the country
hear his name. No saint of the calen-
dar has as many churches, affairs and
chapels erected in his honor. Most
towns in England boast churches bear
ing St, Nicholas name. There are
more than hundred in Belgium and
thousands scattered over Europe. But
wherever he is worshiped and his
birthday observed it is always in re-
membrane of the fact that he is a fol-
lower and disciple of the Christ, whose
coming was the greatest gift of all.

ASIA BIRTHPLACE
OF ST. NICHOLAS
Contrary to General Belief in
This Country, He Was Not
of German Origin
BORN IN SIXTH CENTURY
Worshiped by italian SEA- Traders as
Their Special Protector-Piayed
Double Role in This Country
in Early Days.

Just why so many Americans think
of the good Saint Nicholas as a Ger
man saint, and on second guess accred-
it him with Dutch ancestry, is not
known. But it is undoubtedly the geu-
eral belief in our country that the
saint, whose birthday, December 6, is
celebrated in some countries as the
"gift festival" of the year, was of leu
tonic extraction.
The Christmas saint really was born
in Asia Minor, in Panthera, in the
province of Lycia, some time in the
sixth century. st. Nicholas of Bari, he
is oftenest called by Europeans. but
only the bones of st. Nicholas reposing
for eight centuries in the crypt of d
handsome cathedral at Bari, Italy, have
given him that title. He never lived in
Bari. italian sea traders, who WOr-
SHIPPED him as their especial protector.
stole his body from its resting place in
Myra in the twelfth century and
brought it to the Italian seaport. Since
that time the celebration held there in
the saints honor is unique.
The Eastern world knew and loved
him first, but it is from Western Eu-
rope that we learn of many of the
quaint customs connected with the Gel
ebration Of his birth. In Lycia he lived
to a good old age. filling his days even
in childhood by doing good deeds and
giving lavishly to the poor of the for
tune he inherited. 1t was Christlike 90
give, so, as a steward of God, his
wealth belonged to Gods children,
Nicholas believed. Finally lie was
made bishop of Myra, where he went
to live after pilgrimage to the Holy
Land.
1t was not strange that after such
life of charity he should become a
saint of the common people, even as
st. George was saint of knighthood.
He was invoked by the laborer toiling
for his daily bread, by mariners, by
merchants. He was protector of the
weak against the strong, the poor
against the rich. the captive, the pris-
Oner, the slave. He was especial
guardian of maidenS, schOolboyS, the
orphan poor. Throughout all Catholic

A Fetv D0n'fs
for Christmas
Don't court indigestion.

Don't court indigestion.
Don't grumble, whatever you do.
Don't half ill the kiddies' stockings
Don't give presents which will be
useless.
Don't forget the mistletoe. Romance
still lives.
Don't forget that it ought to be a
merry Christmas.
Don't deny the little ones ideas
about Santa Claus.
Don't s'orry about unpaid bills-at
any rate until tomorrow.
Don't scott at the lingering super
stitions of the gooc old days.
Don't for the show of things, buy
presents which you can't afford.
Don't expect too many presents.
Take what you get and be thankful.
Don't, if you get up on your wrong
side, make everybody else miserable.
Don't forget to think at least once
during the day what Christmas really
means.
Don't give present unless you want
to. Better not give at all than give in
sincerely.
Don't forget that the giving Of
Christmas boxes, like charity, should
begin at home.
Don't, if you, are girl, stand under
the mistletoe until you see the right
chap approaching.
Don't kiss somebody else's best girl,
even though she is under the mistle-
toe. There might be row.
Don't work on Christmas day if you
can avoid it. If you have to, however,
don't make song about it.
Don't give Johnnie a trumpet and
Peter whistle and expect to have
quiet time. It's unreasonable.
Don't put off buying presents until
the last minute. Youth get better value
and avoid the crush if you shop early.
Don't send an electric runabout to a
freezing widow with five starving chill
dren. This is like throwing a rope of
pearls to a drowning man.
Don't look panied when somebody
tells a fifty-year-old Christmas story.
That's one Of the unavoidable circum-
stances of the festive season.
Don't give a new song to some one
who doesn't sing; but be still more
certain that you don't give a new song
to some one who imagines he can sing.
Don't refrain from giving because
you can't afford to give much. The in
trinsic value of gift counts for moth
ing. 1t is the thought which prompts
it that matters.
Don't let the wife give you Christ
mas present in the form of cigars. If
she persists in doing so, don't smoke
them-give them away again, without
letting her know about it, of course.

HYMN FOR CHRISTMAS

Oh. lovely voices of the sky
Which hynned the Saviors birth.
Are We not singing still on high,
Ye that sang Peace on earth?"
To US yet speak the strains
tWherewith in time gone by
Ye blessed the Syrian SWANS,
Oh! voices of the sky!
Oh! clear and shining light whose beams
That hour heavens glory shed,
Around the palms and Ger the streams
And on the shepherds head.
Be near, through life and death.
AS in that hottest night
Of hope and joy and faith
Oh! clear and shining light!

Of this ordinance and Grants Pass
is no exception. Sick people whose
nerves are on edge, and others who
do not arise for breakfast before 6
or a. m. are often disturbed by
some imp from the Internal regions
warming up" his Ford or automo-
bile for morning service. Even on
the main business streets conversa-
ton is often interrupted by some
aristocrat who comes 'fogging''
down the street with a dollar and a
quarter auto, with muller wide open.
The whistle at factory, the saw
ing of logs into lumber, and the hum
OF industry in general is sweet music
to the ear, but the fellow who per-
sists in making his car initiate a
threshing machine or gatling gun
has no place in a civilized commun-
