CHRISTMAS EVE

Christmas eve, a day hallowed
ID made sacred by the memories
childhood.
1 Which one OF lis does not re-
member the Nmas eve of old when
we held breath to catch the
jingle OF the sleigh-bells and the
prancing of Santas deer on the
roof.
Which one of us does not re-
member the JOY OF living and the
Joy of expectation, that Surged
over us as mother tucked us safe
" in our little bed, kissing us good
night and warning us to go right
to sleep FOR fear we might scare
old Santa away.
~ Then with the break of day
comes the fulhlmcnt of a childs
Adesire, and the house is made mer-
ny with children's laughter and
scream OF delight.
As we sit and live over the
Christmas eve of yesterday we
cannot help but think OF those I'M
mortal words OF Lord Byron,
Turn back, turn back, oh time in
thy flight and make me a child
again just for tonight"
Let us then turn back the hands
OF time, let us feel the joys OF
Christmas once more, let us make
some child's dream come true.
Let's do ii now ON Christmas eve!

CONGRATULATIONS

The takers arc barred from OPP
Grafton of their business in Alex
andria which is another progress
sive step. The city manager seems
to have taken the suggestion OF
The Gazette seriously and has act
ed accordingly. We wish to COIL
graduate the city manager and
the honorable city council on their
good sense and progresSivenesS.
Alexandria's streets will no
longer resemble a market place
and will be open TO be used for
what they were originally intend
ed. Alexandria is not backward
in accomplishing what it wants
and the only trouble is making the
people see what they want. At
any rate there are to be 10 more
takers and we pat ourselves and
our contemporaries in the work
for a Greater Alexandria on the
back and offer to all concerned Our
hearty congratulations.

worked out according to its tastes.
In the ministry of Christ are
found the most profound OF hui
man truths, Not only from a
viewpoint of religion is His life
a perfect example, but His life IS
ALSO exactly what would be the
life OF each man if he would let
his conscience guide him. His
truths are the truths OF the
men who think. He was blessed
with that vision and wisdom that
are possessed by men OF today but
in addition He had that power OF
will to do right, He had strength
from above. He was the same as
the man Of today with the addition
OF the power of will to resist temp
tation. Christ is what every man
would be were there no tempta-
tons to beset his pathway. He
taught the secret of overcoming
the original sin. tChrist was born
with the innocence of q little
child.
The world today would be bet
ter if it studied more and thought
more of the wonderful teachings
of Christ. War would cease and
man would live at peace with man.
Brotherly love would pervade the
whole land and peace and happi-
ness would reign supreme over
mankind forevermore.
Love was the lesson Christ
taught-not love of Self-love for
our fellow man that should be
everlasting even unto death.
Christ was the greatest sociolo-
gist and moral philosopher OF all
ages and his teachings obeyed will
bring perfection and heaven to
this earth below.
But, It's sad to say, the world
is still bad. We are all wicked in
some little way. There was no
man that lived before ChiSt that
was perfert and there has been no
record of any completely blame
less life since that time. The
world grows better each year and
in time to come the followingS of
Jcsus Christ will become the law OF
every land and peace and JOY and
happiness and brotherly-lOve shall
take the place OF war and>sorrow
and sadness and hate and heaven
will have come to all the lands OF
the earth.

PEACE, GOOD WILL

Nineteen hundred and twenty
two wears have flown since first
the angels came down to earth and
sang Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace, good will to-
ward men" Upon that night was
born oil the Virgin Mary, Jesus
the Christ Child, who was destined
to become the Savior OF a wicked
world and to start the greatest rev
solution that has ever been IN the
hearts OF men. For nineteen hun
dred and twenty-five wears toll
lowers of Christ have worked tor
the fulhllment OF his Kingdom up
ON earth. Much has been done
and vet there is strife and StruG-
gle. In the simplicity OF the HE
OF that Nazarene carpenter are the
examples OF perfect HE blessed
with goodness, and grace. NO
where else on the pages OF his
tory is recorded the life OF so per-
feet a man nor OF a man that has
been so good. SO kind and so IN
discriminating in his kindness. No
harsh word is spoken anywhere
by the Master except in denunc'a-
ton OF the wicked.
Far TOO many OF the present day
followers OF Christ have no con-
ception OF the goodness and grace
of Him whom they follow, The
world is vet wicked although :
good many that are good live up
on it. There are wars and rumorS

would he. He did great work II

While all Of heaven and all of earth
Were seeking out the Baby's place,
A happy twain were guarding Him
Illumined by loves mystic grace.
When Mary felt His little hand
Around one slender finger cling,
She smiled. and meeting Joseph's eyes,
Forgot to her the angels sing. -.
When Joseph kissed her lovely lips,
A sudden light fell on the stall

YEARS PRODUCTION
TO TOTAL 100000

New York, Jan. 3.-Carcful esti.
mates of the total production OF motor
vehicles by American companies for
1921 indicate that the final figure will
approximate 100000. This will in
clude the foreign assembling of cars
by Ford and other American compan.
les which have assembly plants in
other countries
Domestic production will aggregate
l,GO4,0O0. The domestic production
for the first nine months of the year
aggre gated 100000. The estimated
Domestic production for the last quar-.
ter with figures for October and
November practically complete is
100000. In all instances the figures
include both passenger cars and
trucks.
The total production for 1920 was
2,205,00O, so that the output for this
year viii be only approximately half
a million less than in 1920. The most
optimistic estimates made at the be.

September wheat went even with De
cember for the first time for several

portion of which the country is over
hedged in our September.
