The best sentiments and emotions of humanity

paatial abode to lowiest habitation in all Christian
lands the steps of the Christmas spirit may be
traced.
This is the when may be realized approx

So long, long ago, the jewellers in English shires,
and the same sweet melody rang from the ivy-clad
lanes of France.
Other Christmas carols still come sweetly on
the Christmas Morn wherever and love
the memory of Christ They lyrics which inspire
the mind to thoughts of goodness, for on this
memoried day truth and goodness blossomed into
perfect flower in the manger altar at Bethlehem
of Judea.
The Wise Men came riding from the desert, fol-
lowing the Star which typified the Light of the
World-of time and eternity Humanity, however
stumbngly, still follows after the divine luminance
of the Savior's teaching.
The Christmas Day takes precedence in import

history of human experience. To other who has

sun branches-the floating clouds were leaves and
the moon and stars the fruit and blossoms on the
celestial tree But after centuries they came to

the Light which shall outlast moon, stars and sun.

CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS.

There is no Christian festival which aWakens
emotions so strong and heartfelt Christmas The
origin of the faith is enShrined in beautiful story
whose supernal melody rang above the Judean nils
twenty centuries ago.
Christmas makes the home fireplace the rallying-
place of reverence and affection; where heart calls
to heart and the laughter of age and childhood
mingles in exharant spontaneity with the merrl-
ment Of vital maturity and all once more are
children together.
1t is the season when the genial flame of
charity inspires the soul AS happiness reflective
even as the light of heaven we now transmit to
others our love- generosity and joy. We grow
tolerant toward innocent, boisterous folly. We are
at one with the holly and icy and carol and the
song of minister bells. In the glad laughter OF the
children made to realize approximation 10
the summit of earthly felicity. In one anothers
smiles we read the speech of the angels. The home
feeling abounds with dear oppressiveness 1t brings
an ache to the heart of the wanderer who must
spend his Yuetide far from home.
The Messengers of Christmas sang amidst the
stars We symbol the Christmas light in tender
taper flame And with Gods light came liberty
and ove-these the greatest gifts of the Christmas
tide The red berries of the holly and the white
berries of the mistletoe represent brightness and
purity. The fragrance of kinship, of brotherhood,
is everywhere made kindly manifest. The endear-
ing faith anticipation and joy of childhood present
a draught of rejuvenating life-elixir to the lips
of those who have left childhood behind them
with. the other years.
There is sacredness and charm in the Yuetide
seasonLpoetry and romance. The spirit of Christ
mas is that magician whose love broods the
world and whose will it is that the children OF
shall be happy, whose gentleness seeks I'M
ceasingly to deliver them from their own-riveted
bands and obsessions of sorrow want and pain.
In proportion we radiate and extend COM
fort and happiness to Others will be the measure
of our own soul qualification and blessing
This is the when the Golden Rule
whispers in the melody of seraph tone and phrase
And have relieved anothers need, anxiety
sadness; contributed to his faith and hope? If SO
we have honored that baptism of supreme sacrifice
which glorfied the earth and mankind two
thousands years agone.
In the glad spirit of light, liberty and love- a
merry merry Christmas and prosperous and
happy New Year to all!

CyreniuS Governor of Syria)
And all went to be taxed, every one to his own
city.
And Joseph also went up from Galiee out of the
city of Nazareth, into Judea unto the city of David
which is called Bethlehem
To be taxed with Mary, his espoused wife, being
great with child.
And so it that, while they were there, the

and they were afraid
And the angel said unto them, Fear not; for

shall be to all people
For unto you is born this day in the city of
David Saviour, which is Christ the Lord
And this shall be sign unto you: Ye shall

was one with God in the beginning, who God,
and who created all things The same Christ who
was born in Bethlehem to bring us to God and
the Christ who stands at the door of our hearts
and knocks that He may be born in US today
Christ is the bridge that the chasm
between man and God, nay, rather His fullness
fills it up
1t has been said, in reverence, that one is less
surprised that few accepted Jesus as the Christ
when He came here in the flesh, but rather that
SO many had the spiritual discernment to recognize
His Divinity through the confines of the flesh. A
lady once expressed regret to a Scotch Divine
that she did not live in the days when Jesus was
in the flesh that she might have received Him
in her palatial home-"Had He come in the dress
and with the manners of your coterie of friends
you would have received Him the brusque
reply, but if He had come as the carpenter of
Nazareth with horny hands you would not have
received Him readily than did the people of
His day."
If we will not receive the Spirit of the gorifed
Christ here now and crown him King of our lives,
after all that has been accomplished, in His name
we would not have received Him had we seen Him
in the flesh.
The all important question is: Will you receive
Him here Now?

and opening their treasures they offered unto Him
gifts, gold, frankincense and myrrh" I read re-

My plan would be law authorizing the
Secretary of the Interior to open large
tracts, 100 miles in width and 500 miles
in length, if necessary, for development
and exploitation Such tracts would not
dent Alaska.
If any law could be passed that would enable
the Secretary of the Interior to open up Alaska
why limit it to tracts, big little? Why not apply
it to all of Alaska? Why not permit the Cabinet

Hark how the welkin rings
Glory to the King of kings!
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!
Joyful all We nations, rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;

Hail! the heavenly Prince of Peace!
Hail the Sun of Righteousness!

Risen with healing in His wings.
Mild He lays His glory by,
Born that man no more may die,
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.

TRAFFIC RULE

The Columbia Heights Citizens
Association, meeting at the Co
lumbia Heights Christian Church,
last night voiced it's disapproval
of a number of the recent traffic
rulings enacted by the District
Commissioners.
The resolution, which was
adopted by large majority, de-
clared that the ban on taxicabS
operating on F and G Streets,
the prohibition of angle parking
on wide streets, and the ban on
parking in the vicinity of Govern
ment buildings were all against
the interests of the citizens of the
District.
Another resolution asked that
one-man operation of street cars
be discontinued and that con-
ductors and motormen be given
means of protecting themselves,
in view of the recent hold-upS.
A final resolution, enacted by
the association last night, called
for a reduction of oneSiXth in
insurance rates in the District.
It was pointed out that in 1929
more than $34,0O0000 was paid
out in premiums by the people
of Washington while only a lit
tie over $1O,OOO,OOO was paid out
by the companies for loss Of life

forces and performed many of his
remarkable military feats.
It is, therefore, most appro.

leader of the Confederate cavalry
should be commemorated by a
badge to be worn on the uniform

of their illustrious forebears who

Forrest.
The badge shows the bust OF
