Christine Is
Children's Day
mHE message Of Christmas is love.

~HE message Of Christmas is love
w Its emblem is radiant, thankful,
cOntented childhood. Without
love and without children there could
be no real Christmas. The form might
survive but the substance would be
lacking.
Unhappy must be the adult who can
not make himself a child again in
spirit at the Yuletide. For Christmas
Is the universal children's day. Men
and women are superfiuous except as
they make themselves partners with
these whom the day gioriHes.
Let N, then, lay aside the affecta-
fion and arrogance Of manhood and
w0manhood and be children again.
Let 10 adopt their point Of view and
pvt ourselves in their places-in the
places Of these sons and daughters
OF ours and Of the sons and daughters
Of eur nedghbors. II was only a year
Or % ago. ~ 1t seems, when we hung
our well-worn stockings In Q row along
the mantel shelf, while our fathers
and mothers looked on with unfeigned
pleasure at the innocent confidence we
showed In the morrow.
DveD a. you and /. It all comes
back h . food Of memories. Life was
simpler then. Our desires were less
psstantious than those our children
~eiee ncR. Modest remembrances they
were that bulged tee and heel Of the
StockiBgs mother knit.
Life and its circumstances change,
but the essence Of Christmas never.
Shs same happy childhood, the same
restlesaness. the same snail-Iike creep
ins ef time as the holiday approaches.
1hs same parenthood, too-the same
planning across the reading table after
he bsgs and girls are abed, the same
levtnS conaideratten of what this or
Nat child most desires and how fsr
k)G fAaily pusss cas be stretched to
DogmIt aDmA further purchase.

~HRISTBfAS ts Of all the festivals
VI ,he most generally observed III
the western world. 1t is the uni
yereal holiday OF Christend0m. and
the general phases OF its observance
are In their essentials slmilar in all
countries. 1t is sort Of common
ground on which we all meet for, at
least, one day In the year.
In its religious aspect the festival
10 4 remembrance of the Christian
faith-the gift of God to the world of
q divine Savior. Out of that central
and dominant idea, no doubt, grew up
the practice of selecting Christmas,
for friends to bestow gifts upon one
another, and for all who can, to ex-
tend charity to those in need.
Although not 50 old as the religious
feature, the domestic and social fea-
lures of the festival date back to very
early times, at any rate, to times that
are early In our history.
For centuries Christmas has been
n SSAcoh VI i'oAiO o"'A'
ering, when absent ones return and
the family circle is once more COM
pleted, or as nearly completed as the
changes and chances Of life make pos
sibIe. With homecoming was associ-
sted good cheer, and so Christmas
came to be season of feasting and
merrymakinE.
In England during the Middle ages,
ana for many generations after the
Middle ages had closed, the Christ
mas season, which included at least
a whole week, and liturgically 40 days,
was given over to merrymaking Of
various kinds, some Of which have
gone the way of many of the customs
Of our forefathers. For instance, there
was the bringing OF the Yule-log to
he lighted on the fireplace on Christ
mas eve with much ceremony and re-
ioicing. We have no Yuie-lOg for there
are but few fireplaces now. The name
Of the log recalls another name for
Christmas, which was anciently called
and is still known as Yule-tide or
Yule-time.

Christmas.

The origin Of Christmas or Christ's-
mass. 50 called with reference to the
last words Of the chief religious serv-
ice Of the DAY according to ancient
ritual, Ute missa (or massa) est" is
to be found in the second chapter Of
st. Luke's Gospel. Its observance is
not a development, having existed from
the earliest days Of Christianity. In
fact, in many respects there has been
devolution instead Of evolution In the
manner of Its celebration.

The Jasper ball team hung the.
Grape on George WEIGHS bali team
Sunday at thefairgrounds here to
che tune Of IS tod. The Newport
boys have really played some good
ball this year and it is the same
team that put Lamar off the map
10 to 0. Jasper gave them a good
beating here earlier in the season
and the boys from Newport were
aching for revenge, but instead of
getting revenge they got another
unmerciful drubbing. Jasper
made four scores in the first inn
ing and added to this whenever
they got ready. Hackney who
was pitching for the Newport boys
pitched a poor game but Walter
johnson in his balmiest days could
not have won the game with such
support as Sam got. Every man
on the team made a brace of errors.
Shortstop Egbert and Norman
Martin at first made a big fat one
every time they got a chance.
That is just a little too strong as
Norman did make two nice one
handed catches at the wind-up Of
the game, but some hard hearted
fan said it was an accident as he
did not know he had it. Young
Hardaway, a 16-year-old lad,
pitched for Jasper until the game
was sewed up, then Dublin finish
ed the slaughter. Len does not
claim to be a pitcher but Newport
could not hit him. Lard Amer
starred at the bat, ripping out five
hits at FIVE times at bat, the boy
probably inherited his ball playing
proclivities from old Lank who
was one of the best ball players
that ever donned a uniform in this
part of the country. Lamar Re-

The September trades-day sale
last Saturday made a lively day in
Jasper. From about noon until
8 or 10 at night the town was
crowded.
The auction sale totaled right
at $1,000 and was considered a good
sale under the present conditions.
The registered hogs brought 10 or
il cents a pound and some good
ones were sold.
The stores were crowded all aft
ernoon and evening, the special
trades-day bargains at the stores
being really about the biggest
feature of the monthly trades day.
Next trades day will be Satur-
day, October 1.

CONSIDER TABERNACLE
BUILDING TO HOUSE
CAMBRIDGE SERVICES

CAMBRIDGE CITY. Ind, Nov. rs
Probability Of the erection of taber-
nacle to house the evangelistic cam
paign now being conducted in Cam
bridge City, became stronger than
ever Thursday. when many were left
standing during the third regular ser
vice in the evening. With delegations
of 100 each from Hagerstown and
Dublin, the building was insufficient
to accommodate all who tried to crowd
inside A collection of $500 was taken
for the erection of a special building
if that should become advisable.
Plans for the proposed building call
for a structure IS by 140 feet, with a
seating capacity of $500 and a choir
loft of $50 seats. 1t would be paid for
by popular subscription with labor do
mated by members of the four congre.
cations that are cooperating in the
revival. Decision as to beginning con-
struction was postponed until next
week.
Church Filled Early.
The church was filled half an hour
early Thursday evening, and services
consequently began at o'clock. The

truths by other than spiritual proofs,
has already been given of the truth
of Christianity to satisfy any reason
able doubts.
After declaring that the world ex-
poets more from Christians than from
unbelievers, DR.. Bulgin cited the
prophecies, which foretold in detail
the occurrences of Christ's life, as
proof of the truth of the Christian
tradition. The folly of hoping 10
demonstrate religious or spiritual
truths by other than spiritual pools,
was shown, the speaker stating that
material evidence would be inconsis-
tent, and would leave nothing TO in
dividual reason.
The moral agency of mankind must
be allowed to function, he said. The
belief of residents in this locality in
the existence of foreign countries,
without personal evidence, was men
toned as a reason for a Christian be
lief, based on history and the testi-
mony of others.
