St. Nicholas, the
Holy Man of the
Fourth Century

NN THE entire category Of the
saints none continues to enjoy a
more extended popularity than
st. Nicholas, archbishop Of Myra.
At this time, when preparations are
being made for the celebration of the
birthday Of the Christ-child, it is par
ticularly fitting that we recall some
thing Of the character of this holy
man of the Fourth century and re-
member some of the legends which
bring him so close to us at Christmas
time.
Strange to say, while st. Nicholas is
regarded as the special guardian of
children, virgins and sailors, he came
to be regarded as the patron saint of
robbers, from an alleged adventure
with thieves, whom he compelled to
restore some stolen goods to their
proper owners.
In various parts of the old world It
Is customary for the elder members Of
the family to place little presents in
the shoes as well as the stockings of
the younger relatives on the eve Of
st. Nicholas day. In converts the
young women used to place silk stock
ings at the door Of the apartment Of
the abbess, with a paper recommend
ing them to Great st. Nicholas Of
her chamber"
While the emblem Of the three
golden balls is derived from the Lom-
bard merchants, yet st. Nicho-
las is frequently pictOrially represented
as bearing three golden balls or purses,
the origin of which can be traced to
an act Of the saint which has come
dowa to us in the form of an eccIesi-
astical notation.

The New Thought Bulletin we'll
says: Human beings are gregarious
and will always organize or associate
themselves in some form or another.
1t is for us to see that organization
and association follow right lines.
That is, that they are purely for. CO.
operative purposes, and that they are
not oppressive or repressive in their
influence on the individual, but rath-
er that they shall stimulate his spirit
and multiply his power of service"

Under the HOLLY
Bough

Ia e WHO have scorned each other,
81 Or injured friend or brother,
In this fast-fading year;
Ye who by word or deed,
Have made q kind heart bleed
Come gather here.
Let sinned against and SHINING
Forget their strife's beginning.
And join in friendship now;
Be links no longer broken,
Be sweet forgiveness spoken,
Under the holly bough.
Ye who have loved each other,
Sister and friend and brother,
In this fast-fading year;
Mother and sire and child,
Young man and maiden mild,
Come, gather here,
And let your hearts grow fonder,
AS memory shall ponder
Each past unbroken vow;
Old loves and younger wooing
Are sweet in the renewing,
Under the holly bough.
Ye who have nourished sadness,
Estranged from hope and gladness,
In this fast-fading year;
Ye with DER burdened mind
Made aliens from your kind
Come, gather here.
Let not the useless sorrow
Pursue your night and morrow,
If e'er you hoped, hope now
Take heart, uncloud your faces,
And join in our embraces,
Under the holly bough.

The way to disarm is to disarm; but
what for? Leaving the objective as it
markets, profits-a totally new set
of implements would be perfected soon
to take care Of the new interests. Mac
hiavelli advised that when people get
restless. start a war. That was true
several hundred years ago. We don't
do that now; we hold armament con-
ferences, which hold in leash for a
time the war-like tendencies, and hide
the real issue.

The Story of

b JONATHAN BRACE
XLVIII.-TERRITORIES
20 49, SeTHE Story
W A M States" would
HS WA " not be COM
rsa ga plete without
a brief mem
ton of the
~S&S other terri
tory of the United States, which
is not included in the actual for
ty-eight states. The biggest of
these territories is Alaska, with
an area of 59O,SS4 square miles.
This huge region was under Rus
sian domination until 1867 when
the United States purchased it
for $7,200,000, or less than two
cents an acre. There was some
grumbling at the time by a few
congressman over adding a re-
frigerator to the United States"
But the refrigerator has been
found to be well stocked with
gold, coal, forests and fisheries,
Al cly
profitable investment
Hawaii, like Alaska, is a reg
ular territory. In 1898 there
was a successful revolution
against the Hawaiian queen, and
a provisional government was
formed under American protec-
ton. In 1898, at the request CT
the population, Hawaii was an
nexed to the United States.
Porto Rico, Guam and the Phil
ippines were coded to the United
States IN 1899 as a result of the
Spanish-American war. Porto
Rico and the Philippines are de-
tendencies and not territories.
Their local affairs are admins
tered by a legislature of two
houses and they are represented
in the United States by resident
commissioners elected by the leg
islatures. Guam is under the
control of naval officers in COM
mand of naval stations. Under
similar naval control are the
Tutuila group and Samoa,
which were coded in 1899 by
Great Britain and Germany.
Then there is the Panama Ca
nal Zone, which was purchased
from Panama in 1904 for $40,
100000. This is governed by the
Isthmian Canal commission
The year 1917 saw the pur-
chase from Denmark of the Vir-
gin Islands, for $25,OOO,OOO.
These aggregate only $50 square
miles and are temporarily gov
erned by a naval officer.
Finally, there is the District
of Columbia, which was organ
lied in 1871, as the seat of our
federal government. The resi-
dents have no vote for either
local or national officials, nor
are. they represented in con-
gress.

WOMEN TO CONDUCT CAM.
PAIGN FOR CHRIST
MAS SEALS.

Women of Tennessee have
answered the call to service
again! This time it is in the
campaign against death from
tuberculosis.
When the annual sale of Christ
mas Seals begins on Dec. Ist,
throughout Tennessee, this work
will be in charge of the four
leading Women's organizations
in the State Heading the gen.
eral Committee in charge of this
work is Mrs. Clarence s. Stew
ard of Chattanooga, President
of the State Federation of Wom-
mems Clubs. and she will be
assisted by Mrs. Eugene Crutch-
er, of Nashville, President of
the State Parent.Teachers As
sosiations; Mrs. Minnie Allison
Welch, of Sparta. President of
the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union in Tennessee, and
Mrr. John M. Kenny. President
of the Tennessee section of the
National League of Women Vot-
ers.
These four organizations will
thoroughly cover the State in
the seal sale campaign this year
and advance reports on their
preliminary work indicate a re-
cordbreaking sale of these little
emblems of life-saving.
The Christmas seal has fnan-
ced the fight aginst tuberculosis
over the entire United States
and a tremendous saving in hum
an life has been made through
the educational and relief cam
paign made possible through the
sale of Christmas Seals.
In 1905 the death rate from
tuberculosis in the registration
area of the United States was
200 per hundred thousand and in
1920 this had fallen to ia. Care.
fully complied figures show that
each year $4,000 lives are saved
in America as the result of this
health campaign which is made
possible through the sale of
Christmas Seals.
The Women's organizations
behind the drive this year are
urging individuals and business
houses to head the cry, BE a |
ife-savor," and purchase liberal
stocks of these little Christmas
Seals which cost only penny
each. Their use on letters and
packages are urged by those in
charge of the state campaign.
