HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The closing year has been the most
prosperous in material sense Ameri-
ca has ever enjoyed. In the midst of
the progress of putting the world to
rights following the great war which
this country had big hand in ending
with a sharp four months roundup
and rout of the arrogant Germans, we
have been through period of much
turmoil and contention. Part of it has
been of the Kilkenny cat order. But
gradually we are emerging from the
awful unrest. Business is falling over
itself in its activities supplying the
world with necessities. God has I'M
doubtedly blessed this country with
amazing resources and power. We
should all be grateful for what we
have.
The Palisadian wishes everybody a
continuance of prosperity and happi-
ness.

CENTER OF LIFE.

After all, the home is the center OF
life. And poor, indeed, is he who has
none. With the approach of our
Christmas day greater still are its at
fractions. In Europe right now lOO,-
100000 people are threatened with
starvation. With that fact in mind,
let us look into our own homes, and,
no matter how grave the outlook may
appear to be, we unerringly see things
might be lot, lot worse.
Father and mother, ten chances to
one, as they sit under the evening
lamp, drift around to the big problem
when one of them says, AREN'T things
hight" And it is truth; they are high
from Johnnies shoes to MabePs
dress, from food to fuel, from rent
and taxes to clothing and back again.
But at that happiness is bound to
radiate from the American home. Fa-
Their doesn't give up. Mother smiles.
They have the kids, you know. And
that's blessing. The kids have their
school and their playmates. And the
home is their great indoor Fairgrounds
at this season of the year. Mabel is
playing mother in one corner. John
is camping out in another. William
is being soldier in the Kitchen Ger
trude is learning to cook near by. And
little Jim may be riding his dads foot
for horse.
Kids are comforts, the stars of the
great indoors, and tough times make
them scintillate that only a surfeit
of riches could dim,

"The Wayfarer."
Nearly a hundred Palisadians went
to New York last Saturday night to
attend the great spectacle of "The
Wayfarer" at Madison Square Garden
and no one failed to appreciate the
wonderful impressiveness of the great
pageant Of 1.-THE Wayfarers" little
can be said that is not in fullest praise.
Advertised as relating to more
complete appreciation of the meaning
of the life of Christ and the church,
it nevertheless loses some of its pow
er in this direction in that it does not
bring out with sufficient force the emo
tional side of this great character. At
the same time there is nothing lost of
the full meaning of the power of Jesus
as q molder of human love for the
right and justice of the world. The
scenery in the great spectacle is more
than remarkable; it is appealing in
the last degree, and its like has never
been seen, perhaps, being far more
pretentious than ben Hur" that had
such great run a few years ago. No
one should miss 1.-THE Wayfarer." 1t
perhaps makes men think more of the
sublimity of Christ and His influence
on the world. No scenic effects were
ever of more heroic mold than those
presented in "The Wayfarer." They
are more than beautiful; they are in
spring, and represent the highest de-
velopment of artistic excellence posi-
Bile with paint and canvas and the mar
to attain the most bewildering effects.

OPPORTUNITY.

Let us, all of us, at all times, con-
if the eyes of opportunity were upon
us.
David BelascO discovered David
Warfield in an obscure Bowery bur-
lesque theater.
The other day, after matinee,
somemembers of a burlesque company
were gathered in a restaurant for
their evening meal.
One of the comedians said to an
other: "Say, Sam, why did you work
so hard this afternoon, we didn't have
much of a crowd?"
Eyes," replied Sam, "but Dave
Belasco might have been in the crowd
we did have"
Henry Ward Beecher began his
career preaching in little church at
Lawrenceburg, Ind, with a member
ship of less than % persons.
AS the result of simple family
letter which one of these % wrote
to her sister in Brooklyn, N. Y, Henry
Ward Beecher became the pastor of
Plymouth church of that city.
He became national figure,
preaching to more than 5000 persons
each Sunday for more than forty
years.
But the opportunity for it all came
by his efforts while preaching to those
20 persons at Lawrenceburg, Ind.
This policy of always doing our
work as if the eyes of opportunity
were upon us is operative in the field,
the factory, the store and in every oc-
cupation of life, no matter how hum
BILE.
1t is simply in using one job as the
opportunity for the next - better

FINDS HIS STOLEN PICTURE
Dealers Taken From His Studio
IS Year, Ago.

New York.-Among the products Of
his own brush priced most highly by
Childe Hassam, was a picture which
he painted when beginning his career
in the Latin quarter of Paris three
decades ago, and although it disap-
peared 16 years ago, when he was
moving from one apartment to anoth-
er in this city, his recollection Of 1t
never faded entirely.
Recently Frank X. M. REIN. son Of
an artist and himself a dealer In art
at 6 West Fiftieth street. called on
Mr.. Hassam to inquire as to the au-
thenticity Of picture attributed to
him and previously acquired by the
dealer. When Mr.. Hassam entered the
dealers gallery and viewed "Flower
Girl Selling Peonies," he at once rec
ognized his long-missing painting. AS
Mr.. REIN had bought the painting he
demurred against giving 1t back with
out being reimbursed.
Mr.. Hassam began an action in the
supreme court for the recovery Of the
picture or $1,000.

LAW OF GRAVITY.

Sir Isaac Newton saw an apple fall
and pondered the fact that it went
down instead of up or sideways. His
claw of gravity" became a funda-
mental of science.
Dr. Albert Einstsein of Berlin saw
a workman fall from a roof and
alight, unhurt, in a pile of soft rub
Dish. He talked with the man, who
evidently had remarkable mind, for
he observed that in falling he did
not feel the pull of gravity as it is
commonly supposed to operate.
Now DIR. Einstein's new theory of
relatively" has been accepted by the
Royal Society of London as demon
Strated truth.
What is the theory?
1t is said that there are not more
than u men in the world capable of
comprehending all of its phases. 1t
is really modification of the rules
worked out by Newton.
One of its concepts is the rejection
of the ideas of absolute time and
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1919-12-27

space. Beyond the furthermost star
is-nothingness! .
DR.. Einstein and his fellow scien-
lists do not suggest that the new
hypothesis will affect human life in
the slightest particular. The hungry
mind of man has simply reached out
a little into the dense vast of the un-
movable. Again, the finite and fal-
lible intellect of earth's wisest animal
has aided bit to it's meager stock
of lore.
A million years hence that stock
will be somewhat increased, but IN
relation to what will remain unknown
the total of all wisdom finally Will
remain as tiny flicker in a universe
of dark.

A God Worth While.

Do these fellows recognize the ex-
istence of an overruling Providence?
Not so that you could notice it.
He that stitch in the heavens is
asleep, or, perchance, hunting. 1t is
ridiculous nonsense to suppose that He
would regard the fall of sparrow.
1t is very different Creator that we
believe in. Our deity has some sense.
He reigns and the Republican party
still lives, our first duty in life is to
preserve the interests of our party.
Then the Deity smiles with approval.

We Should Worry.

The Sancho Panzas of the senate
are perfectly willing to share all bene-
fits that will come from the adventure
of the League of Nations, but they
have the spirits of the foregoing pas
sages, and the dry self saving soul of
the immortal Sancho. They want to
bet, if they are sure to win. No senti-
ment for them. The world may go to
wreck as long as our favored land is
kept intact. Are we our brothers
keeper? 1t is to laugh.
