TheEvergreenT Tree
By Christopher G. Hazard
70. 1922. Western Newspaper Union.D

tS), 49,, western newspaper
THE servants had retired and left
= the old lady alone. She sat be-
fore the decorated and lighted tree
that was burdened with gifts that
seemed to have no destinations. For
Mrs. Stone was long past the wanting
Of gifts and no companions, young or
Did, sat with her, because she wished
to be alone with her memories.
She was not as alone as she seemed
TO be, for, in the great chair opposite
TO hers memory placed the fairy figure
Of the child who had glanced and
danced about the house and under the
Christmas tree Of long ago. Beside
her there sat one who seemed to lay
his hand again upon hers in happy
and satisfied affection, while there
bent over her the strong and tender
youth who was once her hope for later
years. Again the old house seemed
full Of JOY, and noisy merriment drove
out the deathly stiffness, while the
tree that is always green spoke of the
Immortality of happiness.
The next day, when the servants
dismantled the evergreen tree, it was
found that every gift was marked
with a name, and they were busy that
Christmas morning in distributing new
happiness about the neighborhood.

Cause of Reds Condition

Los Angeles, Dec. 0-Blackmailers
aided in precipitating the final break
down of Wallace Reid, movie star, it
was asserted today by his friends.
When he was fighting to break him
self Of the drug habit, certain men in
Hollywood and Los Angeles attempted
to obtain money from him to sup
press the printing of an expose, it
was charged.
This expose was to have been print
ed without names, but would have in
stantly labelled Reid as the man re-
ferred to, according to Mrs. Alice
Dvenport, the stars moher-in-law.
Reid steadfastly refused to play into
the hands of the blackmailers. but
their scheme worried him greatly
Mrs. Davenport said. Coming lust mt
the time when he was fighting to
break himself of the habit, these
threats were largely responsible for
his breakdown, she believes.
Although Reid, who has conqured
the drug habit and is now suffering
from 4 mysterious ailment similar to
influenza, is improving slightly day
by day, he is still very weak. The
fact that the world knows the story
OF his STRUGGLE against dope" has not
been told him yet. His physicians saw
ne must not be subjected to any sort
of excitement.
Reid, who formerly weighed 200
pounds, has gone down to 1870, it was
learned.

Dire for this building, to
be G. : memorial to Norfolk
men Va died in the World War. At
ter two years of consideration and
consultation, during which representa-
tiveS of the society have visited many
of the largest auditoriums and con-
cert halls in America, the plans have
been drawn to embody the finer points
of most of them. The new hall will
not be enormous, having a seating
capacity of about 1000, but it will be
one of the most modern in the United
States.
The construction of this auditorium
is the last phase of tine big program
of improvements inaugurated two
years ago by the present City Coun-
ell. This program contemplated sup
plying Norfolk with facilities which
would place it on basis to compete
with other cities Of the South.
Immediately after the plans for
building the auditorium are set in mo-
ton the city will start campaign
of advertising, which will be one of
the most comprehensive ever under
taken by a Southern city. This cam
paign will be designed to make Of
Norfolk, within the next five years,
the center of all conventions held in
the South.

Barn Burners" Busy
In Pennsylvania

Philadelphia, Dec. 2O.-"Barn burn
ers" continued their reign of terror
in Southeaste n Pennsylvania last
night and cary today, by applying
the torch to seven barns, according
to reports here.
Thirty eight barns have been des-
troyed by fire in this section Of Penn
sylvania in three months. The fires
last night destroyed barns at the
Mills Golf course, near Norristown;
at the West Chester Normal School,
Perikomen Junction, Eaglesville, West
Morton, Lansdale and Wyndmoor.
State police, county officials and the
state bureau of fire prevention are
now confident that firebugs are re-
sponsible for the mysterious fers.
Authorities today redoubled their eff
forts to catch the pyromaniacs.

Ition. There would be no salvation
if we we're not lost. You can't
save something that hasn't been
lost. The salvation provided by
the blood of Christ is the only
fact that is constructive, redemp-
tive, and recreative.
THIRD-The stubborn fact of
depraved, lost human nature. This
great entity known as sinful man
cannot be improved by external
processes; he cannot be redeemed
by education or evolution, or any
| other of the decisions. He can be
saved only by the regenerating act
of the Holy Ghost.
1t is the duty of the church and
of every minister of the gospel to
preach the avsfulness of sin, the
absolute certainty and power of
salvation, the judgment that awaits
the unrepentant, and to denounce
with all the power possible the
hellIsh delusion that the world is
growing better.

FALSE HOPE

Sin on every side is growing
bolder, and the very delusion con-
tanned in the statement, The
world is growing better" is of
satanic origin, and is for the pur-
pose of putting to sleep the forces
of righteousness.
Human nature is incapable Of
moral improvement by any human
process known to mankind. The
only thing within the power of
God that can change human ma
ture is regeneration. Reformation
cannot affect its character. Re-
generation must precede reforma-
ton. Those who have been regen-
Grated are of course growing bet
ter; they are improving; they are
progressing; they are growing more
Godlike.
\ The good are getting better, but
the bad are getting worse. The
ungenerated, the unwashed, the
unsaved are more skilled, subtle.

NORWAY MAY USE ALASKAN
 SPRUCE IN REFORESTING

That Alaskan spruce may be the salvation of detorested section of Western Norway, is indicated by eff forts being made by the Forestry Bureau of that country to secure i'm mediate shipment of supplies of seed from Sitka spruce. William E. Britt, Norwegian Consul In Alaska, has been asked by the Forestry Service of Norway to handle the matter.
 All of the islands and mainland comprising the western part of Nor way were stripped bare of trees many years ago, said MT. Britt. The Norwegian government has been giv- ing serious attention to the problem of reforestatiou and has for long time conducted experiments as to what kinds of threes are best adapted for that purpose,
 In a letter to Mir. Britt, the Nor wegian Forestry manager said that in it's efforts to secure the most suit able trees for western Norway eX- periments were con iucted with trees from Oregon, Washington and Brit ish Columbia, as well as from Alas ka. Of all the trees tried out those from Alaska showed up most adyan- tsgeously. In fact, the results ob- taiued are said to have been highly gratifying to Norway and indicate that the solution of the reforestation problem in the western section Of that country has been found.
 MT. Britt was asked to make ar engagements necessary for obtaining seeds of Sitka spruce from BaraRof. .Chichagof, Prince of Wales and Rev. ilIagigedo islands. Permission to get these seeds has been obtained from the U. s. Forest Service MT. Britt estimates that it will cost apprOxi- mGtely S2,OOO to gather the seed and prepare them for shipment. He has so informed the Norwegian For estry Bureau and expects to be in- structed to go ahead with the work in the near future as the desire has been expressed by 1t to have the shipments made before winter starts.
