Quite large number of our people
attended midnight mass at st. Peters
church in Oakland on Christmas eve.
For many this was their first opportu-
nifty of attending a service of this ma
ture at the midnight hour. The GER
emory was truly inspiring as well as
beautiful awakening in the hearts of
the worshippers most forceful and en-
trancing visions of that first Christ
mas, the Messiah's natal day in Beth
lehem more than nineteen hundred
years ago.
DR.. N. l. Broadwater, one of Oak
lands most successful practitioners,

them to oranges and candies shortly
before the dismissal. A tastefully
| decorated Christmas tree adorned both
the senior and junior rooms. The
teachers left the same evening for
their homes at Cumberland and Mt.
Lake Park, respectively, to enjoy the
festivities of Christmas and the inter-
vening days with friends and relatives.

Last week there appeared in our
midst most deserving appeal in the
form of letter circulated by the COM
mitteemen of Garrett county, namely,
Messrs. E. R. Jones, chairman, and G
A. Fraley, treasurer, both gentlemen
being residents of Oakland, in behalf
of the people of Armenia. would like
to impress upon everyone to respond
generously and thus aid in alternating
the great misery and wretchedness of
the unfortunates of Armenia and the
near East. Permit me to address you
in the words of President Wilson:
Great populations are driven out
upon a desert where there is no food
and can be none, and they are COM
PEELED to die. Then men, women and
children are thrown into a common
grave, so imperfectly covered up that
here and there is a pitiful arm out
stretched to heaven; is there no pity
in the world? When shall we awake
to the moral responsibilities of this
great occasion" There can be no hes
itancy in contributing to the relief of
these poor, afflicted and starving peo-
pie. The campaign is endorsed by the
highest ecclesiastical authorities, in
GLIDING Cardinal Gibbons, Bishop Muir
ray, j. w. Finney and Rover Cavett
Cast your bread upon the waters, and
after many days it shall return, bear
ing a hundred-fold.
THE merry bells ring loud and clear
Across the joyful earth
Proclaiming that the glad New Year
Brings happiness and mirth."
ST. ELMO.
