Methodist Church
Observes Christmas
Day; Two Programs

Christmas day was observed by
the Methodist Episcopal church in
BlackfOot by the rendition of two
most excellent programs given at the
morning and evening services. The
house was filled to capacity at both
programs.
AS the last tap of the bell at II
o'clock died away, the sound of mus
sic was heard coming from the en-
trance to the church as mixed choir
of seventeen persons raised their
voices in that glorious Christmas
anthem, Harlz, the Herald Angels
Sing" The choir marched to their
places as they sang this song. From
the very first the audience sat in
wrapt attention until the echoes
from the last note died away in the
distance. All the numbers on the
program were especially well rend-
cred and if any one deserves special
mention, it was the rendition Of
"holy Night, Silent Night" The
double male quartet sang the first
verse, while in the second, after the
singing each of the first two lines
By the male voices, the echo was
heard, sung by the ladies voices,
while in the last verse with the full
chorus of sixteen voices, Miss Vir-
ginia Pierce with her full and rich
soprano voice sang the obligato,
which completely overwhelmed the
entire audience. Mrs. Ruth Parkin-
son deserves much praise for her
untiring efforts which made the mu-
sic a success.
The sermon by Dr.. Gillian was
especially well adapted to the day,
his theme being, Taking Christ to-
Every Child" and as his words
breathed to them the Christmas
spirit. The program was closed by
the double male quartet singing,
'Watchmen, Tell Us Of the Night"
and the audience departed with the
feeling that another Christmas
morning had passed into eternity,
but that there still remained enough
of the day for them to bring a little
Christmas cheer to those who were
in need.
In the evening the rendition of
the pageant, Carrying Christ to the
Children Of the World" under the
direction of Mrs. w. G. Allen, was
staged in a very beautiful and i'm
pressiVe manner. Turnout, 1t
the Christmas spirit of
1921. During the course of the pa
geant, the Representatives of each
class Of the Sunday school were seen
10 march past the stage and there
lay their gifts upon the altar for the
children Of the world, after which
the hermit appeared and appealed
to the entire audience to assist in
this work. The Offering totaled
about $40, which will be used for the
purpose above mentioned, the Sun
day school getting credit on their
centenary pledge for the amount.
Thus ended another Christmas day
with all it's joys, its sorrows, and It's
undying Christmas spirit

A CHRISTMAS RECEssIONAA

The tumult and the shouting dies;
The holly and the mistletoe are gone
to Join the vanished pies; the tur-
keys melted like the snow; the
candles on the Christmas tree are
burned down to the spruce and pine;
the soldiers and Infantry lie broken,
in battered line; the saWduSt from
the waxen doll is streWn on carpet,
rug ard stair; the play day young
turn to simple fare; the nuts and
raisins disappear; the gladdest day
of all the year looks back from the
soon closing doors; and tho the day
is done, the thought there's quiet
in the streets and marts let's not
let the glad spirit go, but keep the
sweetness in our hearts, oh, Santa
Claus, be with us yet, lest we forget
lest we forget.
The wreath is withered on the
WALL the feast is but a memory; the
lights are dim in hearth and hall;
the voices die that rang with gless;
the jumping jack is lodged and fast
but half way up the string; the
Mother Goose is torn at last, altho
it was linen thing; the stockings
from the hearth are down, our legs
are thrust where the presents were;
it's just prosy human town where
elves and spirit used to stir; the
popcorn ball is yesterdays; the ber
ried strings broken chain; and
NUn Inc i
every day again; but tho the Christ
mas candies burned and ,fickers
with feeble flame, and tho the
Christmas days returned to time,
whence yesterday it came. Pray
Christmas cheer, be with us yet, lest
we forget, lest we forget.
The bumpers dry that held the
wine; the toast it gave us cannot die;
the hand is cold that writ the line;
the music of it vets the eye; the
hearth is dark that blazed with light;
the warmth that cheered us still
shall glow; the lamp that shone
forth in the night goes Quits cheer
shall never co. the voice that rang
out it's glee is still-the gladness of
it rings; the singer passes, yet for
me the sweetness of the song he
sings lives on and on and still is
sweet the holly moulders in the
dust, but something stays and is
complete that time shall waste nor
ruin rust; when all the day is done,
when all the glamour of it gone, ]
bid you cherish, every one, the mem
.I. I
prayer with me, that not upon the
loss we weep, but look beyond that
we may see the soul of it that We
may keep. Oh, Christmas spirit
tarrv yet, lest we forget lest we
forget.

A REAL PASTOR
PRIEST breaches IN FOUR LAM
GUAGES AT NEW CHURCH..

Sermons in four languages were de-
livered by Rev. Patrick s. McGee
pastor of st. Mary's parish of Attic
boro, Mass, when the first Mass was
said in the new Church of the Holy
Ghost, County Heights, last Sunday
The congregation of Holy Ghost par
ish is a polyglot one, and the pastor
must be a linguist to minister to its
needs.
To be sure of reaching the hearts
of his people, Father MCGEE acquired
the languages of the principal groups
French, Portuguese and Italian, in
addition to English. He preached in
all four tongues last Sunday He
learned the languages by contact with
the parishioners, but wrote his ser
mon before delivering it.
For many years Father MCGEE has
been able to speak French When
Italian and Portuguese families came
under his care, he decided to equiv
himself to converse with them and
preach to them in their respective
tongues. He says the task was made
easier by his previous knowledge OF
Latin and French.

bonds are severed, When al per-
son aims at tearing asunder those
sacred ties and fiinging them to
the winds of heaven, what reason
is there for further hiding family
secrets; the family disappears and
with it moral assets and liabilities.
The firm simply goes out of bus
mess and leaves its old rubbish be-
hind.
Such is one development of
Luther's innovation in the divine
law. Family pride and name are
shattered at a moments within
children are cast forth branded
and scared with parental disgrace,
and the skeleton closet is thrown
open that all who will may see.
The pity of it all is that disrup-
ton of the home, dispersal Of the
innocents, disregard Of the mar
riage vows, and public airing of
all family secrets are looked upon
as choice morsels for the prurient
and the morbid, while the princi.
pals assume the roles of heroes and
heroines And this is modern
morality.

IRELAND A NATION
(Communicated.)

The devastation of Ireland by Brit
ish Crown forces has again been
brought before the eyes of the world
by the recent appeal of Pope Benedict
XIV, to the British government and to
the Irish people. The appeal is not
addressed to a minority of 'murderous
criminals called Sim Feiners," from
whose desperate acts the British
Grown forces and Black and Tans are
protecting loyal but terrified peo-
pie, but to the whole Irish people at
war with the British Empire. The
truth is out-Ireland is a belligerent
nation. Will England continue to
shoot prisoners of war and unarmed
civilians, burn the homes and sack
the towns of miserable people? Is
it not time that the other neutral pow
ers recognize Ireland as a belligerent
and demand for her people the moral
protection granted by international
law to belligerents? The appeal of
the Holy Father suggested as first
step that the question at issue be re-
ferred for discussion to body of men
selected by the whole Irish nation"
According to Pope Benedict, Ireland
is nation" and whole nation.
England's pious attitude of sitting
aside as third party" while two
imaginary Irish factions fight it out
over a boundary line also imaginary,
has not deceived the Pope.
Ireland is prepared to carry out the
Pope's suggestion for a peace settle
ment. She has duly elected gov
eminent chosen by an overwhelming
majority of the Irish people, her
courts are functioning and are pro-
tected by national army supported
by taxes collected by the Republic of
Ireland The Irish nation knows what
settlement it wants and seems deter
mined to accept only one, the recogni-
ton Of the Republic Of Ireland,

TROTTING OUT THE
SKELETONS.

Time was when family name
was a sacred thing. Differences
there might be among the mem,
bers, causes for just complaint
easily might arise; but every effort
was made to conceal shortcomings
from the public gaze. The honor
Of the family was held SO high
that seldom was scandal per-
mitted to besmirch it. An inner
ent dignity was maintained by
high and low: family skeletons
were kept carefully under cover
With modern customs and NOR.
ais all this is changed. The food
of divorce has. washed away the
safe moorings to which the family
as a whole chung. Slight alterca.
tions are now magnified to such an
extent that each party to the strife
hastens to drae out every skeleton
and raise it aloft as proof of the
others guilt. A sense of shame
avails not to deter this reckless
exposure. Personal pique mounts
higher and higher, until the very
last shred of responsibility has
been torn away; even the legiti.
macy of innocent offspring is
counted for naught when the
. skeletons are hauled out.
All this deplorable condition Of
affairs is directly traceable to the
ease with which the marriage
