FORGIVE AND FORGET.

One thousand nine hundred and
nineteen years ago a child was born,
of a virgin mother.
Throughout the years which have
flown since this memorable event we
have celebrated the birth OF that child
The halo which surrounded it's lit
tie head has remained fixed in orr
memories through all the centuries OF
time, and will continue to be with us
until time ceases to be.
This child was the Christ--the son
of God-who, as a man, was nailed to
the cross, and forgave His enemies
who crucified Him there.
Another year is drawing to a close
and the lessons learned from this good
man are again brought forcibly to our
minds at the Yuletide season of our
rejoicing.
AS Christ forgave His enemies, so
let us forgive ours, and forget the in.
justices which they have done US.
The harboring of i'll will does good
to no one. 1t may do harm to many,

On the Wind river Indian reserva-

But the greatest harm of all is that
which springs from the mind of hate

1t kills the JOY of life and fills tie

At the Christmas of 1919 let us al!

THE FREEDOM
OF THE AID

Last week we mentioned the ad-
vertising Of a merchant for peace
and good will. We said it was in
that issue, and it wasn't, it is in this
issue; it is Mr.. Seeger's, and he
kindly allowed it to be saved for this
issue, because we had so many other
smaller ads last time.
Mr.. Seegers ad is something new
in the field, and we are listening to
learn what our readers will say
about it.
After all, the printed word Is the
text in the worlds school of opinion.
If it be mastery chosen and spread
upon the page in proper form it
starts something that may last day
or a thousand years, for ideas ride
upon the printed word and ideas rule
the world. Our Declaration of In
dependence fathered the French
revolution.
If man owns newspaper he can
do anything he wants to do with the
paper. He can write the first page
full of heavy editorials and enjoy it
immensely himself. But if he does
whatever he pleases, displaying his
own opinions all over his paper, he
can not hold readers, for they will
think that he is putting one over on
them" Custom has laid the rules of
success.
But some other man, merchant,
say, who does not own the paper and
who has something he wants to say
in tall, outstanding type, can lease a
part of that paper and display his
message as largely as he pleases. The
people will read and say that it is
proper.
The difference, call it ethics, con-
vention, custom, what you wish, is
there. A place for the EDITORS
opinions and place for others
opinions. We believe that most of
our readers will still be on this earth
in time when the public forum"
will be the advertising page. If
man has a message important
enough to pay for having it printed
where it can be seen, it will receive
what attention it may deserve. The
reader will know where to place the
writer, and where to place the paper.
He will freely give his judgment,
which is the object of all published

ONE-FOURTH WORLDS
WOMEN IN CHINA
Seventy Per Cent. Employees In
Shanghai Cotton Mills Wom-
en- and Children Working
~ Twelve Hour Shifts.

One-fourth of the women in the
world are Chinese-200, 100000 Of
them. They are going into industry
in large numbers to work long hours
and for little money.
In Shanghai, for instance, seventy
per cent. Of the employees in the
cotton mills are women and children.
Working hours for spinners are from
six In the morning until six at night
and from six at night until six In the
morning. Viewers work from 5: 80 in
the morning until seven at night and
the wages are from ten to twenty cents
a day. Hundreds of women are en-
ployed in silk filature mills, standing
hour after hour washing cocoons in
basins Of boiling water in the ex-
cessively hot rooms necessary for
apartments where fine silk is spun.
In Canton alone, there are 10000
women in factories at maximum
wage Of forty cents day for women
and Of fifteen cents a day for girls.
AS part OF us program OF world
service for women the National Young
Women's Christian Association Is ex-
pecting to put on its staff Of Sec
retaries in China an expert on in
dustrial conditions who will develop
social work in factories, and work to
improve conditions for women en-
ployees. This work will include the
introduction of recreation and social
life among the workers and Of health

Students in Porto Rico are re-

favorably impressed with their
chances for continuing life Tuesday
that they asked for holiday to pre-

professor of astronomy at Columbia
intimated that their actions might
have been due to the desire of youth
everywhere to have holiday. He
and many other scientists main
tanned that the effect upon the earth
Of the planetary alignment would
be nil.
Astrologers have predicted the end.
OF the world on somewhat similar
occasions for centuries. AS early
as 1886 the world escaped one of
their threatened cataclysms. Disap-
pointment at the escape did not pre-
vent Stoffler from predicting uni
versal deluge for the year 1924
year, as it turned out, which was
distinguished for drouth.
Mother Shipton, witch" of Tudor
times, was credited with being
equally sure that 400 years after her
time-in 1881, to be exact-the
world would come to an end. The
prediction caused much agitation in
England when the date she set ar
rived. Thousands of persons deserted
their homes and went out into the
fields to await humiliation.

The Chinese Medical Association
an Association composed only of Chi
nese physicians mostly graduates from
American and English Institutions
have asked the entire educated commu-
nifty of the country to cooperate in
better health for the children Of Chi
ma. All the Mission Boards operating
in China felt that one Of the greatest
contributions the Young Women's
Christian Association could offer to
the health Of China would be to es-
tablish a normal school for the train
ing of physical directors.
Accordingly, In Shanghai, which is
the greatest port in China, the nation
al committee established such school
in 1914. The school has won favor
with all educationists, both missionary
and government. There have already
been nine graduates from this school.

Graduates Of the school are scattered

Last spring the people of the
towns voted heavy bond upon their
property to get money with which to
build roads in the county, and they
were a little more willing to do this
than the country people themselves.
If the same bond election were to be
done over at this time the vote in
favor of bonds would probably be
about SO per cent pure. The very
effort of carrying out the enterprise
has welded people together in sat
isfaction and approval.

Good Men in
SodOm

There is lesson in the foregoing
matters worthy of some reflection.
The very favorable showing in road
construction all thru the summer
and at the close of the season, must
be very reassuring to all sincere
friends Of road improvement, and it
must be very embarrassing subject
for all those who for selfish reasons
or .out of faulty thinking arising
from the heart, were predicting evil
and trying to have people act upon
a foregone and incorrect conclusion.
The voices of those men will prob
ably not be heard very much in
councils for a while. Mr.. Clinger's
department seems to have destroyed
itself by its blunder or it's insin-
cerity. The newspaper that is ae-
credited with being largely respon-
sible for bringing about the bond is
sue, stood guard all the season,

lures and is still on the job, unem-
barrassed by the events Of the year.
