THE WHITE CHRISTMAS

Once upon time in a far eastern
country there lived a king. He loved
his subjects and ruled his country
wisely. So pure and true a man was
he that his knights had always said
that he should never ride upon any
but white charger. And so in the
royal stables were found the most
beautiful white Arabian horses whose
tossing names shone like spun silk.
and while they loved to see their king
in royal purple robes, they lined these
robes with whitest ernine and spread
beneath his feet the costliest rugs Of
richest white fur.
This king was a great warrior. but
he never drew his sword save in the
cause of right; and so justly did he
treat his captives, that they soon be-
came his willing subjects, and loved
him as did the people of his own land.
Not only was this king beloved by
his knights, who tried daily to lead as
brave and true a life as did he but
by the humbIest of his subjects. The
children of his kingdom loved him, for
even the smallest child knew that the
king loved it and would listen to its
needs or plans, and help it plan so
well its life that only success would
come if it followed the kings plan.
When the birthday OF the king came
each year his subjects from ali parts
Of his kingdom sent him gifts as tolz-
ems of their love, and because they
knew that he was so pure and good
they chose gifts of purest white, for
only these did they think fit for their
king. The wealthy brought him white
diamonds or pearls or white horses for
his stables, or those who had less to
bring gave him n white lamb for his
flock, or q. white dove for his cote. The
children gathered white roses and lilies
to strew along his way, and in all his
country this was the great holiday.
holy day they called it, of the year.
And the king priced the roses and the
lilies as he did the diamonds and the
pearls as a gift Of love-
To those who could not bring their
gifts direct to him, the king asked that
they be given to some one near at
hand would be the same "as unto him
fer in no way could they show their
love for him more truly than by loving
and giving to some one else. And so
it came that the kings birthday be-

MAIL EARLY AND oErEN.

BY Annie +. Schirmer, Clerk in New
Rochelle IN. " Post Office.
The Christmastide is drawing near,
When parcel post looms high.
The clerks and postmen plead with YOU
Mail Early" is their cry.
of course you want your friends to get
Thier gifts by Christmas day,
And Uncle sam viii back you up
If you mail them right away.
But If you keep on waiting
Until the last few DAYS,
There'u be congestion in the mails
And terrible delays.
Just think how disappointed
The Riddles al would be.
II your presents came too late
10 hang on the Christmas tree.
Your gifts need not be opened
If a pastor you win use;
Don't open until Christmas"
Is a seal that you should choose.
/ wonder II you realize
The hardships Of the clerks
II you neglect TO mail this week,
And thus your duty shlrk.
And picture the poor postmeu
Laden down with shoulders lame;
For although It's Merry Christmas
They must all work Just the same.
So. remember, friends, Mail Early,
II you'd spread the Christmas cheer.
Mail Early. and Mail Often.
And delays you need not fear.

appreciation for the somewhat notable
kindnesses that have been extended
to me by the people of my own state,
operating in conjunction with very
impressive company Of friends in other
parts.
To come to Georgia is to come to
the heart of the South. To come to
Georgia on this, of all days Of the
year-the birthday of Roosevelt-is TO
realize that the heart Of the South
! throbs for all the nation. To the max
! ing of that typical American of the
new era went equally the warmer
strains of the Old South and the stur-
dy stock that gave the nation its EN-
! pire State.
| So it is good, in greeting you men
and women of Georgia, to recall the
career of that outstanding American
who in his hfe. as in his lineage.
taught us how much we are prospered
and exalted because of being united.
And, coming thus among you, it is
peculiarly a satisfaction to speak
from the shadow of the shaft which
you have reared to the memory Of one
who taught reunited nation it's Gu-
ties. it's obligations, it's possibilities.
For / recall the thrill with which l
read, as young man. the address of
+! Henry w. Grady to the New England
Club; that most famous Grafton, I
think, of its generation; that inspiring
call to a nation to awaken to itself.
to understand that it's yesterday was
magnificent opportunity.
If ever one man was ordained to
speak with the tongue of conviction
and the voice of a great people, that
man was Grady Gifted with the
poets imaS cry. the seer's wisdom, the
plain mans humor. and the states
mans vision, he pretended to be
neither poet. seer. nor statesman; he
sought no public place, but preferred
the private post close to his people.
But somehow it was his to under
stand and interpret the longing of
the Nation for true and perfect re-
union. He appraised the difficulty of
fashoning a new temple of concord
and hope out of disappointment and
sorrow incident to conflict but he
saw beneath the surface the hunger
ing to develop a common inheritance,
ne caught the aspirations for COM
mon glory, he touched the chords of
sympathy which echoed the note of
common rejoicing.
With heart aclow and tongue in
spired, he felt it his duty to preach
the gospel of new understanding. and
having uttered his new gospel at
home. he came north, the evangel of
a new day. and made his New Eng
land speech. Since that night he has
belonged not to you of Georgia but to
the nation. to the truly reunited ma
ton of which. in his day. he was the
foremost apostle and spokesman. The
South never had a more loyal or
jealous son: but he saw. with an eye
for wider scopes. that this people was
not to be divided. And he preached
that gospel North and South; the
gospel of unity and common destiny:
and when he died untimely, at SO
years Of age, the nation which so
soon had learned to love him, bowed
its head in universal sorrow. Read
ing his passionate pleadings for a
nation wide understanding. | can not
but feel that he would have been con-
tent to go as he did if he could have
known how close that tie of common

was wrought through reunited and
restored America. Because there was
the will to get down to work. to
cease repinings and regrets, we have
among us erected here, out of the
wreckage that our war wrought,
country in which We may fittinsly
take the pride which every American
feels.
Who would have ours less than the
great, rich. progressive, powerful,
and enlightened 4, erica which we
justly boast today? Who would have
it less a figure in the world than it
has been in these years of crisis and
disaster? What friend of civilization,
of Christianity, of human advance
ment, would have wished our part
less than it has been? Who among
us all is not proud that we were able
to participate very notably in the
rescue of humanity in he struggle
which menaced its very existence?
Who would have us relinquish now
our service for a better civilization?
Surely, we will go on. developing
the nationality that has given us
faith and weight and power for the
tasks OF the past, knowing there are
other tasks in the future which win
demand the utmost we can con-
tribute to them. We have learned,
along with the rest, that mankind
must go forward or backward as a
whole; it is not to be expected that
some sectors shall advance as others
retire. Either the race Will advance
or it will retrograde; it Will not
stand still.
1t has had a tremendous lesson.
and l am one of those who firmly
believe that this lesson will be. an
alyzed, tested, scrutinizel, and made
to afford us at last a direction for
future effort. 1t is not possible to
believe that all the lessons of all the
yesterdays will have gone in vain.
The increase of education, of the
studious habit. of social conscious
ness, can not but bring us nearer to
agreement about some few funda-
mentals.
l believe, for instance, that every
family which has lost a member in
the struggle to save mankind from
absolutiSm every citiZcn-sOldier Who
has given years and suffcrings to
that cause; every gold-star mother
or manned veteran, will agree that
