SATURDAY NIGHT


saturday might ana AnlStn0S eve!
Santa Claus is even now on the way-a JOY
full reality for the little folks and in the hearts cf
the older ones precious memory never to be for
gotten so long as time shall last All the instincts
CT generosity, of gentleness. of good will now find
sway in the activities CT the average man and
woman who have not allowed the cares of life
to embiHer ard harden the heart and conscience
The Spirit of Christmas is typihed in Santa Claus;
will all be the happier if we will sweep
clean the chimney and the hearth that he may come
10 us with his Christmas cheer. And better still
il we will impcrsonale ST. Nicholas in the giving
OF ourselves. means, our services that others
may be made happy through our unseIhshness The
mission Of dear old Santa Claus is ever the same
but always intensified in its personal interest to
each individual who is capable of interpreting the
purpose Of that mission.
The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1921-12-24

Lakeland proposes tonight to give expression to
the Christmas spirit by providing Christmas tree
in Mum Park fer the children of the city and
suburbs. The value of such civic act lies not
so much in the direct pleasure it will afford the
children but rather in the exempi6caton of COM
munity spirit without which no city can succeed
or ever amount to anything. All Lakeland will
be there, father mother grandfather, grandmother,
auntie uncle, sister, brother-every member Of
the family who can spare the time and is able to
go. Such gatherings are great factor in in
creasing civic pride and in creating that feeling
OF lnterdependence SO very necessary in the ce-
mentng Of true understanding that after all we
are all actuaed by the same inspraton-that of
trying to do good to our fellows.

The transient advertising solicitor is experience
ing hard Shedding in Lakeland Not day passes
without some one making a round of the stores
with some sort Of publicity stunt to sell as
hotel registers, telephone lists bloters and such
like. But when confronted with the request to
produce the Chamber of Commerce permit there
is great Indignation and always the outburst Of
righteous wrath with the exclamation: Are you
letting the Chamber of Commerce do your think
ing?" That is tme-won and out of date
Anyway, the advertising committee of the Cham
Der has saved Lakeland merchants hundreds of
dollars during the last three or four weeks.

1t is pleasing to rote that the volume Of Christ
mas shopping in the stores in Lakeland has been
surprisingly large despite what folks are told is
"a period of general depression" Lakeland has
been doing its share in putting old General De-
preston to rout. All it takes is faith translated
into works-possibly better word is action
Crowded stores indicate that we have not lost
either faith hope and that the holiday season
inspires action. Lakeland merchants have done
their best to hold their home trade and it has been
said on good authority that there has been less,
mail order shopping this year than ever before
in Lakelands history

Joyfully do we pay hibu!s to lie postoaice
staff for the business like way in which they have
handled the enormous amount of Christmas mail
There has been no delay and tonight every scrap
of Christmas mail will be on the way by carrier
or awaiting the recipient in the boxes.

Christmas
(By Rev. w. ]. Bolin.)

In the story of Ben Fur one of the washer
women at the pool of Sloan, speaking of the
Wise Men who had been seen coming INTO Jeru-
salem. says Nobody knew them; they looked
as if they had come from the ends Of Ihe world
Only one of them spoke, and Of everybody on the
road he asked this question, Where is he that is
born king of the Je,vs?' No one gave them
answer nc one understood what they meant SO
they passed on, leaving behind them this saying
On this anniversary we think Of the many men
and women who do not see the star any longer
and wander around without any heavenly gtd
ance. One sometimes feels that we are in the
presence of society whose real gladness has we'll
nigh died out, and in which hope is almost ex-
tinct. 1t is true of throngs OF people that the
bright dreams Of youth have vanished They have
lost the star and surely learning that panpered
luxury and gralihed curiosity cannot heal wound
ed spirits. In the maze and mist pf domestic and
business cares, in the trial and turbulence Of pot-
ic9l social and commercial life, such clouds of
dust have been raised around US that the stars
have been obscured. To the question, Where IS
the klng? no one gives answer But God
helps every man who earnestly desires to find tn.
meaning of life To the wise men He gave. the
guiding star. Somewhere in heaven the star is
set that calls and beckons everyone to helpful
service. And all the divnely kindred stars lead
to Bethlehem. The star that guided the Wise
Men rested over humble cottage They entered
and found the Christ Child-a child upon is
mother breast Is that all? Az. aIl--and every
thing! In this child all streams Of prophecy CON
verge. From this child radiate all the glowing
lines Of history. This cottage is the center Of
the world
Let US follow the star, and 50 pursue the high,
unselhsh ideal until like the Mag we open our
treasures at the feet Ct The King. If we do. then
the true Christmas spirit will come into cur hearts
bringing that peace of which the angels sang as
they lowered over Bethlehem
he path of progress must needs be over an
undulatmg country: but ii led right On to the Gold
en- Age Wherefore let the sons of Asoph raise
Joy to the world, the Lord is come!"
Laugh on. o children at your happy hresides.

winter.

The changing seasons come and go with
startling regularity and rapidity. While this Sec
ton of Florida sees no very great variation in the
processes of nature, yet the calendar says that
Wednesday was the first day of winter and in
cidentally the shortest day of the year. From
now on the statement may truthfully be said that
the days are growing longer"
