ARMED FOR BUSINESS

The postoffice department takes a
warning from current happenings
and provides the ounce Of proven.
ton in the form of arms and am
munition for its employees who are
instructed to use them for the pro.
lection of themselves and their mail
from attacks by bandits and rob.
bers. The very fact that the postof.
nee people are arming will act as
tremendous deterrent in stopping
the wave OF crime which seems to
be sweeping over the country. The
careful criminal takes all this into
consideration before striking; he
assumes, and the public assumes,
that the postofflce employees will not
let their arms be idle when the
emergency presents itself.

WATCH NIGHT SERVICE

Young people wonder Why
their elders speak 50 much Of the
good old days; more often than
not with a certain tinge Of regret,
But it is true that, by the blessing
OF a kind Providence, memory
pleases to retain the tonder recoi-
lections, while the sadness and
tragedy of earlier years fade away
almost to obliteration. Who OF
lis does not remember a Joyous
childhood And who OF US older
ones does not remember the pleas
ing custom OF watching the old
wear out and the New Year III:
A custom, alas! that IS nowadays
more llonored in the breach than
the observance.
One reason for this growing
neglect, perhaps, is the greater
conaplexity Of modern life. Our
forefathers were simpler IN their
habits, nearer to the heart OF
Nature, more devout i'll their
religious observances, more prlml-
tive, If you will But we believe
that the Watch Night Services
held in every Christian conltnun-
ity in the elder days, did untold
good. They served as a retro
spect OF the past year, its bless
ings and its trials. its sins OF both
omission and commission: and as
a fortifying and a conservation
for the New Year about to begin.
The observance was not merely
a social function; JOY there was
and zest in the performance. But
there was d religious element, too.
The pastor was present with his
flock. They knelt in solemn
prayer: they humbled themselves
before their Maker: they gave
thanks for his mercies during the
past; they besought a continuance
and a closer drawing nigh unto
the Glver Of all good.
Doubtless this watching ol the
passage OF the old year and The
birth OF the new. with Its
memories and its doubts and
questionings, had lasting effect.
Who shall attempt to say what
evil i'll the coming calendar it may
have iorewarded:? What bless
ings aid what happiness it may
have brought to all within the
conSecrated circle
The Church should see to it
that this memorable custom IS
revived. At this crisis in the at
fairs OF the world it is bound to
have arlealthiul and benign in
flucnce. Never i'll history has
there been a time when the soul
destroying effects OF a terrible
war have been SO prevalent or SO
deadly in their destruction OF the
moral forces OF human nature.
We cannot refrain from quoting
the words OF DR.. Charles NJ. Shell
don. editor OF The Christian
Herald. and author OF In His
Steps He says. i'll (; recent eR-
torial: I'VE have had III the
changes OF the last few years. the
rising flood-tide of forbidden
pleasures. accelerated by the in
fluencc Of evil pictures. the wild
whirl OF extravaganza, the weak
ening OF the marriage tie. the
augmentation OF divorce facilities.
and the gradual sappins OF the
influence OF the home
This is a depressing picture.
But it has the stamp OF truth and
carries conviction. We believe
that perhaps the only safety lies
in the greater activity OF the
Church. the one institution
among men that is individually OF
divine origin. And Tor this, we
hope the churches all over the
land will see to it that Watch
Night is again reinstated for OBJ
Servance Nv them and theirs.
