In Single Night by a Star to a
Ray Of JOY and Of Light. The Four
Steps for Boys and Girls.
(By n. w. Harllee) /.

Well, boys and girls, two thousand
years ago the children then had no
merry. Christmas. There was long
dreaiy age with no merry Christmas.
It was a long hight from creations
Firth to the birth of Christ. The
long, dark age OF night was changed
in a single night by the heavenly
band Of angels, a special CONVOY OF
messengers breaking the long silent
night with good tidings of great joy
and glad news to the children OF men
and nations. On that night, the
most remarkable night in the history
of all times, Christ the Lord was
born. With His birth, new hope is
born. All the world seems to have
new birth, while every thing seems
to take on new life.
The new star in the heavens, the
new guiding star. the star in the
East was sign for the wise men.
The wise men followed this new star
over hill and dale. Now they come
to the manger. The new born Prince
lies there wrapped in swadling
clothes. A halo Of glory encircled
His brow, the wise men presented
Him with precious gifts as the Prince
Of Peace. The old manger is
changed into the most stupendous
palace Of all ages. As the wise men
presented their gifts the light from
the star filled the dingy manager and
tinged it with the most beautiful
light of all ages The Manager is
transformed into a divine Kingdom
from which all other Kingdoms are
to be modelled and set apart The
manager is changed into a paradise,
for where Christ is there is joy at
the right hand Of God. Lowliness
marks the height OF His greatness
He, with all power set up His King
dom and Kingly throne in Manager
having dominion over all powers.
The Christ of the manger is the
Christ and Lord Of all. We hail Him
King, the wonderful Counsellor
Every church built since the night
Of the Manager is a monument in
honor of the manger. Blessed old
manger, thy walls are heritage;
thy fame fills the earth. Thy gate
the door to the hearts of men.
The Christ Child.
Every boy and every girl can be a
Christ Child How you ask, "can
this be done?" / am glad you ask
this question. Well, three little
things are necessary. Obedience is
the first; the big word that means SO
much in the life Of every boy and
girl, and to be the Christ Child is
to be obedient. The most beautiful
boy or girl is the most obedient.
One Of the first steps in becoming
the Christ Child is to be 0bedient.
Kindness is the second step; this
like obedience is the sunshine OF all
that lights all our relations with
others. The third calls for the power
of a hero, and that third step is to
conquer self. conquer our desires.
our temper and make them submits
sive to our own biddings. The fourth
step. is to have dwelling within us
that same spirit that was in the
Christ. Obedience, kindness and
through Christ conquering self, and
finally HAVING the Christ Spirit dwell
ing In us and ruling MS is the mer-
riest Christmas we ever can know.
For such a condition. for such
Christmas. let us ferventiy pray that
every day shall be Christmas.

5000 PROTEST. BLACK CURFEW

Jersey City, N J.--Representatives
of 5000 Jersey City Negroes met al
the home of DR.. George Cannon, No
345 Pacific Avenue, Jersey City and
voted to appear before the Jersey
City Commission to demand the re-
moval of Chief of Police Richard
Battersby, who issued an order that
all Negroes should be off the streets
by nine o'clock.
Director of Public Safety Charles
F. x. O'Brien, who rescinded the or
der, said he was not consulted by
.he chief.
Mr.. O'Brien was plainly disturbed
when questioned about the order.

and then reached across his desk

into many pieces and threw the

was issued

Absolutely not" he answered.

Are you contemplating issuing
such an order?'
NO." he replied Put it this way
If any order is issued, it should
come from this office and through
the proper channels. Not from the
chiefs Office. That is all have to
say"
Chief Refuses Statement.
Although Chief Battersby would
make no statement today, subordi-
nate officers said that the order
effectively halted the crime wave
that was enveloping the city. Not
a single robbery or deed OF violence
was reported in the last fifteen hours
The Communipaw avenue police
station was swamped last night by
Negroes whe demanded passes. to GO
to work. Lieutenant Barry, in COM
mand, explained to each that the
order would not be enforced. In
spite of the assurance. however, the
railroads and other employers of Ne
gro labor reported that hundreds OF
men had failed to appear on the job
The "black curfew" order is likely
to have widespread political conse-
quences, it is said. Commissioner
C'Brien is not expected to remove
Chief Battersby, but may reprimand
him. The Commissioner is the only
Democrat representative elected from
New Jersey in the next Congress
and will resign from the Jersey City
commission soon.
So far as Jersey City itself is con-
cerned, Mayor Frank Hague and 9TH
er city commissioners, who will be
candidates for reelection in the
spring. are not concerned. Jersey
City is safely Democratic. but in the
State the effects are likely to be felt
Mayor Hague is the Democratic
State leader and New Jersey has a
very large Negro population. T. is
expected that the Negro politicians
will make capital of the curfew 'order
and use it against the Hague candi-
dates in the next STATE elections.
