OLD YULETIDE HYMN FAvoRITE
EvERYWHERE

There is scarcely church OF any
denomination that does not some
time during the Christmas season
echo to the strains of that beautiful
and soul-inspiring hymn, 20. come
all We faithful" 1t seems to be a
favorite at Yuletide in every land
and in every cline. whether it is
sung as above referred to, or in its
original form as the 'Adeste
Fidelis'
The hymn was first given to the
world in the Thirteenth century by
a Franciscan monk, but did not
gain worldwide popularity for a
long time after. The English trans
lation was made by Canon Freder-
lex Oakley over sixty. years ago.
Since that time the hymn has been
translated into the language of
every nation and the sweet and lofty
words ring out at Christmas time in
many remote places.
But while the English translation
has superseded the original Latin to
a great extent. yet the beauty of the
original composition is such that
there are many who still prefer to
hear 1t even though the language is
not their own.

CHRISTMAS CREED UNIVERSAL

Tho festival called Christmas has
come to have creed wider than any
ritual. It's magic has Influenced
the world in a degree more profound
and far-reaching than that OF any
other recurring incident marked by
he history of mankind. Its senti-
ment has. indeed, overfiowed all
boundaries, both of sect and Of
social condition. Its high, clear
note of cheer and charity has ap-
pealed to an unbounded = degree
wherever human ideals have had
sway Pessimism halts at its por-
tai.
The creed of kindness adjusts it
self to all conditions and all places.
1t seems to be good working. creed,
despite the unattractive phases of
nerfunctory giving and taking. 1t
is cheerful creed. 1t strews life
with gayety and color 1t is cul-
mination to sentiments of fair play,
TO active sympathy, to the do-it-now
impulse.

it is white, In city and in country,
IN the hills and on the desert, among

the altar and the hearth. 1t has
many American versions, and many

Yet it will remain true that the

BUSY MAILMEN ADD TO OUR
CHRISTMAS CHEER

From house to house they so with
cards and caendars of cheer, pres
ents and surprises.
Always CHEEKY, never complaining
how much they add to our Christmas
oy and pleasure!
If cross expressions were worn by
hose who brought us our Christmas
PRESENTS it would not be the same.
And yet they work so hard, so over
nard. they carry so much. and all to
others!
Our mailmen are pretty wonder
full lot and our Christmas time is
added to by them to very big de-
gree.
1t seems as though we should dc
our part to give little cheer to our
mailmen in gratitude and apprecia
ton of the spirit in which they dc
their work.-Mary Graham Bonner.

If the real spirit of Christmas is
within us we will. indeed, find that
it is more blessed to give than to re-
ceiye. and we will give out of the
fullness of our hearts and because
of the joy that giving brings us, in
stead of from any other motive
So to get the real joy of giving and
to receive the richness Of the Christ
mas spirit in fullest measure, give
because your heart prompts you to
and forget all else.

BY John Moses Baker, BALTIC, Md.
1t was Christmas eve, the clock had
struck ten,
When under the cover Nelson and
Ben
Talked about Santa Claus, what he
would bring;
How he would fill up their stock
ings with many MEETINGS.
But Neson, said Ben, have been
thinking all day,
How he will come down the chin
ney, cannot tell the way.
He will have toys to bring down,
and Christmas tree too;
cannot see for the life Of me
how he will do.
wish it was larger, Nelson said
with sigh.
Yes indeed, answered Benny. so
do l, SO do /.
Suppose he gets caught in the Chin
ney, what then?
Oh that would be awful, now
wouldn't 1t Ben.
But / thought / heard Sleigh bells,
just listen, don't you?
believe, brother Benny, that ]
really, do.
And with hearts full of gladness and
eyes full of glee,
They listened in wonder for sure
ly tbs he.
Just pull back the blind Ben, and
take sly peep,
| But be very careful, he thinks
we're asleep.
Benny had. hardly gotten out on the
floor,
When down through the chimney
there came such roar.
No peeping for Benny, but back into
bed;
He covered himself up, eyes, nose
and head.
And whispered to Nelson. trembling
with fright,
l told you heard him. now was
mt I right?
You must have been Benny, for oh
such a roar,
never heard anything like it be-
fore.
Just keep very quiet, and l think we
will see
Him step out of the chimney, as
sure as can be.
They watch and they listen, as their
vigil they keep,
Till eyelids get heavy and both
fall asleep.
And dreaming, the night passes
quickly away,
And when they awaken tbs glad
Christmas day.
Then up out of bed, with wide open
eyes:
They look all around them with
| joy and surprise,
Their stockings were filed and there
stood tree,
Just loaded with good things, as
good as could be.
They looked at the Chimney and
thought it was, small,
But old Santa Claus had found
them in spite Of it all.

Flower street like the lost soul of

Changes had come to Robb, too.
A small prosperity had descended
upon him in the form of salary

than ever before in some now
clothes. He had bought himself
cheap second hand roadster that
Dan christened the struggle

Late one Saturday afternoon In
October, Robb and Emmy were sit

the side of the house when Mari

yard in her little gray car that was
like a jewel box on wheels. She had
a flat pasteboard box in her arms

Emmy shot a sharp. agoniZed
glance at Robb, hoping that he
would not realize that Marianne
was bringing her a gift of charity.
Like most people who have to ac-
cept favors. she was painfully sem
sitive. But there was nothing in
Robb's face but good humor and
welcome as he stood up and took
the over-nanicured hand that Mari
anna held out to him. .-...

her skin was rouged, and her mouth
was painted a bright, sealing-wax
red. A heavy odor of orchid perfume
came from her gauzy black clothes
as she moved,
Her father and mother had been
killed in an automobile accident
when Mariana was seven, and
since that time she had lived with
her gradmother in the gloomy old
Pentland mansion that had stood In
East Prospect street for fifty years.
She was completely spoiled and as
hard as nails.
But she had way with men. Her
engagement had been announced

The astonishing thing about it is not that Nicholson.

and property, Of furnishing health insurance of pro-

Is lett to the back room politicians This is so accepted
part OF American life that when a prominent man
like Meredith Nicholson becomes city councilman
everybody is surprised.
1t is an unhealthy condition. Governing city calls
Tor just as much patriotism, just as much vision Just
as much business ability any job in the professional
or industrial world A city should as matter of
course, call on its abest most distinguished citizen
to be its mayor and fill its council with men who have
made their mark the city's life.
Mr. Nicholson has done all of service by entering
Indianapolis city government. He may not be able to
accomplish much in that job, be sure; yet by calling
our attention to citys need for frstcass men in its
political offices he is doing a good work
"ln politics, no job is unmportant' says Mr. Nichol-

to give their best efforts to the task of city govern

have no assurance that the parents will not keep the
children here permanently. The parents are not yet
