CHRISTMAS GREETINGS.

Tomorrow is the 1921st anniver-
sary of the birth of Christ, the Son
of God.
The observance of Christmas as
the day of the birth of the Savior is
by common consent a pleasing and
profitable custom, and it is moreover
the one thing in which Christians of
all denominations, with but few ex-
ceptions, actually concur. = "
In almost every other particular,
creed, doctrine, rites and ceremonies,
there is almost infinite diversity of
opinion and practice; in regard to
the propriety of making the alleged
day of our Savior's birth, holiday,
there is substantial unity and, by
some means or other, the birth of
Christ has been so impressed upon
the worlds customs and manners,
that every event in. it's history, So
cial, governmental and personal, must
necessarily, be- connected with that
i'm portant event as the orbs of the
solar system are with the great lu-
minary. Thus Christ is the light of
the world, and all our affairs are con-
nected with Him as the planets are
bound to the sun by the law of grav-
itation. In every letter we write,
every deed we execute, every item
of business we transact, custom has
made it necessary and unavoidable
that we should connect the transac-
tion with the truth of Christ. And
it is a significant fact that the ma
tions that thus recognize the Savior,
in even an incidental manner are
those most advanced in intelligence
and civilization-those that are most
powerful and prosperous, those that
really govern the world. The nations
that celebrate the 25th Of December
and that designate the present year
1921 are the favored ones Of the

TRUE TO FORM.

! At the Detroit Methodist conference
Emmett J. Scott declared "The Negro
does not ask social equality and never
has asked it. All he asks is social
justice" But, pray how can the col
ored man get "social justice unless he
has every kind of equality before the
law and in public opinion?" Domi-
nant people do not give exact justice
to people they consider their interiors.
=. Scott was private secretary to
Booker Washington for nearly twenty
years and was well trained to reiter-
ate that the colored man does not
want that and other things which
would please the South. Now that he
is away from Tuskegee he ought to
learn new tune.

HONOR GIVEN WHEN DUE.

1t is with very much satisfaction
that we learn, Rene Maran, young
colored author, born on the Island OF
Martinique, French West Indies, has
won the annual prize of the Con
court academy for the best French
novel Of 1921. The novel, entitled
"Batouala,'' deals with colored life in
Central Africa, the race question and
problems and aspirations of the col.
ored people. France has a very
pleasing way of giving honor wher.
ever due and talent is duly and fully
recognized even when found under 9
colored skin. Vive la France.
