pON,T ABBREyIATE IT

People Throughout the civilized world
are now engaged in talking of Christ
mas and its joys. They are preparing
to celebrate the birthday anniversary
of the Redeemer, who liveth.
A long time ago there crept into the
English language an abbreviation for
the word Christmas, that many feel
ought to be eliminated 1t is the abor
tive Xmas" Why not write it out
plainly and in full, "Christmas?" 1t
Il only few more letters. Xmas"
Esp't satisfying 1t doesn't seem to
show the Vroper respect for an occas-
ion so great.
It is easy to see how the use of the
shorter word or authorization came
about tx" happens to be the first
letter OF the Greek word for Christ.
The fact that the letter X is cross
shape also lent color to its use in the
abbreviated Xmas" And history
tells us that in the catacombs tx fire.
Neauently stands for Christ. But things
that are old are not necessarily good.
Is the world in such a hurry that
it cannot stop to write out the full
name? What would the world say if
in some reference to the Savior He was
called q j. Christi" Sacrilegious and
correctly so. The cases seem almost
parallel. Let's give Christmas presents

Why dc boys run the streets?
Why do they get into bad company
and devilment?
Why do a few bad ones corrupt the

Because the boys haven't an outlet

q gymnasium and competent instruc-
tor Provide place where they may
read, converse, play games or do any,
thing they like under prpoer but not
too obvious supervision. Enforce the
ordinance against running the streets

Scrooge, in voice that could not

his mind. He became as good a

gooG a man as the old city knew.
Somc people laughed to see the
alteration in him, but he let them
laugh and little needed them. His
own heart laughed and that was
quite enough for him. He had no
further intercourse with spirits, but
it was always said of him that he
knew how to keep Christmas well,

THE RETIRING PRESIDENT.

Wilson's race is almost run and an
interesting and dramatic public career
draws to close Wilson had many
trlumphs and for a while was supreme
in the hearts of the people. Later
came the time of error or rather the
fruition of mistaken policies. Then he
fell into disrepute and few there were
to do him honor. But we believe that
Wilson's mistakes were those of the
head and not of the heart. He ranks
among the great men of the time.
