State Capitol yesterday, and when he
saw the amended bill made a strong
protest to Speaker E. Brooke Lee of

that the bill as now written is as good
as useless, as it puts the fire depart

county commissioners, and that the
amendment had been inserted with

be upheld and he hoped the amend
ment would not prevail.
When Speaker Lee directed the
ealing of the roll on the amendment
Delegate Joseph jumped to his feet
and announced that he would like to
withdraw 1t, which statement pro-
voked long applause in the lower
house. The legislative machinery
then moved swiftly. and the bill finally
passed. There being no amendments

seechingly to the county commission

Speaker Lee was adamant. He said
that the bill was good one and it
was desired to leave the matter dis

certain areas, and to prevent costly
mistakes that have prevailed in the
District of Columbia, is to have some
aid from the State. The people of
the metropolitan area are not asking
for the State to furnish the entire
amount for the development, but are
willing to tax themselves to provide
a large part of the money for the
development.
Charles County i'm Favor.
Delegate Joseph Allison Wilmer. Re-
publican, Charles County, also spoke
in favor of the appropriation. He
told the delegates that as a plain bust
mes proposition this appropriation
was a good one for the State of Mary
land. He told of the great develop
ment that was going on in these two
areas, and how the provision of the
parks to be bought with this appro-
priation would immensely increase the
value of the land. Increased value
of land, he explained. means increa sed
assessments, and increased assess
ments mean increases in the amount
of taxes, of which the State would get
it's share. In the end it would be well
repaid, not only in actual cash out
lay, but would preserve its natural
beauties for the people from far and
wide to see when they came to the
National Capital, and would leave
with them a good impression of the
great State of Maryland. The meas

CHRISTMAS

Christmas, as we know, is the an
niversary of the birth of Christ The
apostle John describes his advent thus,
"The word was made flesh and dwelt
among US" q:14; He also said, "No
man hath seen God at any time, the
only begotten Son, which is in the
bosom of the Father, he hath declar-
ed him." (1:18).
We cannot endure to gaze steadily
at the sun. Likewise the splendor Of
the Divine Being is too dazzling for
mortal eyes It was necessary for this
brightness to be veiled in flesh to en-
able Us to contemplate the character
Of His being. God is spirit, infinite,
omnipotent, omnicient, omnipresent,
etc. He is also Wisdom, Love and
Holiness. These can be but family
comprehended except as we behold the
sword made flesh"
The feeding Of the FIVE thousand,
the healing Of the sick, and the rails
ing Of the dead to life were manifes-
tations Of his power and goodness as
much as by the creation Of the world,
supplying the human family with food
day by day, or the gift of life and
immortality.
He not only manifested to US the
Smyrna times., 1927-12-21

character of God, but gave US an ex-
ample of perfect manhood.
"He twelt among u.s." We cannot
understand this any more than we can
understand the union Of the spirit of
man with the body.
The best of human character which
are held up to US for our imitation are
persons who occupy 50 exaulted posi-
ton in life that their lives are but lit
tie help to those of humble station. 1t
is not 50 with the Incarnate Word.
While he held SO high an Office he oc-
cupied the most humble station of life.
He was born in a stable, Graded in a
manger, and took upon himself the
form Of a servant, and humbled him
self even to the death Of the cross"
This sublime scharacter can be az
quired BY the most humble Of human
being, but it is only possible BY the
power given him from above. "As
many as received him, to them gave
he power to become sons Of God"
(Jno. 1:12).
This. then, is Christmas birth
Of Christ, the "Word made flesh and
dwelt among US" Thanks be unto
God for his unspeakable gift, the
greatest gift Of God to erring man.
