The Malta hotel was the scene of
very enjoyable Christmas party
given by the Rotarians, Friday night.

fair, and no guests were present.

worship of vicious deities. The
Christ child was the answer to the
worlds longing for Saviour. The
cross brought this deliverance,, and
lifts mankind to the true standard
of life. The followers of the Christ
child must be willing to bear the
sponsibilities and obligations of
His teaching. The birth of Christ
is the promise of sonship with God.
The true Christian should respect
the ministers of Christ because OF
the sublime dignity of the office
Christ taught a lesson of charity
and love for man His religion is
meant to bind men together in bonds
of love, and not to separate them
into agencies of hate. The true
follower of Christ respects the re-
ligious convictions of his fellow
man. Every recurring Christmas
should be time of thanksgiving,
and should mean greater honor and
glory to God in the highest, and
on earth peace and good will to
men,"
The club sent resolutions of SYM
pathy on the death of DR.. Lawrence
Hess, to the GAINESVILLE Rotary club,
and to the family of DR.. Hess.-XX.

Truck SkiuS Into House

Monday Mr. George Morrison OF
Kennebec hill had his dwelling
house considerably damaged when a
coal truck skidded into it. Mr.. Err
nest Elliott of the Twin City Trans
fer & Coal Co. had hauled a load of
coal to the Morrison residence and
had unloaded it. When he started
to leave, the ground being very
slippery, he had gotten but short
distance when the truck started
back down the hill Because of the
condition of the ground, the brakes
failed to do much good, and as the
truck started to slide back, Mr.. Ell
liott had to decide whether to guide
tke truck so that it would hit the
house or go down over the hill. He
chose the former, and the machine
struck the side Of the house, caving
it in, breaking a window, and tear.
ing loose some of the plastering.
No one was injured
