ADDRESSES STUDENTS OF WEST
NOTTINGHAM

The students and faculty Of West
Nottingham Academy had, on Fri
day, December 8, the pleasure Of
hearing, as its third vocational
speaker, Mr.. Charles S. Pyle. presi-
dent Of the National Bank OF Rising
Sun, and chairman Of the Committee
Of Bankers Group No. Of the State
of Maryland, appointed to formulate
the NRA Code for this group, COM
prising Baltimore, Hartford aid Cecil
counties. His address may be sum
married. thus:
''The actual amount of money in
circulation in this country is around
nve billions of dollars, whereas for
ly-five billions of dollars art in the
banks in the form of paper credits,
checks, bonds, and so forth. In or
der to transfer credit from one part
of the country to another an i'm
mense amount of machinery is neces-
sary. So well is this organized that
one could transfer funds from here
to South Africa in a single day.
Such an efficient organization must
have on it's staff men of sound char
acter. The qualifications for
banking career are itegrity, pleasing
personality, interest in the business,
and an interest in people. The re-
quirements are courtesy, neatness,
tact, accuracy and industry. A
course at the Wharton School of FL
nance would be very beneficial.
Banking is good training for any
profession. Banking almost ranks
with the ministry and medicine in its
opportunities for helping others. It
is not money making business ex-
cept that it teaches by experience the
value of saving and safe investment.
One must work hard to succeed; you
get out what you put in-as in all
lines of work.

can banking shows an evolution from
weakness to strength, from instabil-
ity to stability, and from 1neficiency
to efficiency. The banking system
has come through each depression

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

Christmas with it's spirit of good
will and kindness is again at hand,
bringing with it the consciousness
that the helping to give happiness to
others brings happiness to us as
WELL
The spirit of Christmas is the
spirit of helpfulness and friendli-
ness. Those surrounded with COM
forts should not forget the less for
tunate. There should be happiness
and good cheer in every household.
If you have an abundance of happi
ness give some of it to others, and
your happiness will be increased
thereby. Even though it be but a
friendly greeting it may be ray of
sunshine for that person.
And why not carry this spirit of
friendliness with us throughout the
year. 1870
Christmas should not mean mere
ly the giving or exchange of gifts, its
truer meaning may be found in the
giving of little happiness to others.
If the day is better than other
days, it is because of the feeling of
brotherhood and fellowship that
belongs to it.
Our greeting is Merry Christmas
for all, and may the spirit of its joy
and friendliness go with you and
yours through other days of the
year!

REASON FOR CHRISTMAS

The observance of December 25
as the anniversary of our Savior's
birth has been maintained long
enough to create presumption in
the belief that it is an original in
stitution of Christendom. Neverthe-
less, the oldest authority for the OBJ
servance of that day as the birthday
of Christ belongs to an epoch sepa-
rated by a distance of three centur-
les from the original event, and the
festival itself was celebrated on De-
cember % in the West before it was
assigned to that day in the East.
1t is certain that in A. ID. 336, De-
cember rs was observed in Rome as
the Festival of the Nativity of Christ.
The authority for this statement is
a Festal calendar drawn up by the
local church in Rome in that year.
Early in the third century,. e.
about 100 years before the compil-
alton Of this festal calendar-Hip-
polytus. Bishop of Portus, had as
signed Wednesday, December rs, in
the forty-second year of the reign of
Augustus, as the date OF our Lords
birth.

At the recent memorial meeting at
w. Nottingham Friends the writer
found the grave of Samuel Taylor,
born at ,Haverford, Del. Co., Pa., in
1868, unmarked and obliteI ated by
the removal of small tree in the
recent improvement.
The grave is near the Meeting
House, where there is vacant space.
A circular bed of foreign growth is
near by.
Samuel Taylor moved to Rising
Sun section after the death of his
wife, and was married secondly to
Hannah Richards in West Noting
ham meeting house in 1919. His
son Isaac Taylor, Magistrate and
undertaken at Rising Sun, told the
writer his father walked regularly
twice a week to West Nottingham
meeting from his residence, later the
Joseph Lincoln farm.
He also said he carried bricks in
building the farm house.
1t is likely the farm camt from
the Richards family, as Samuel Tay-
lor also owned the Marshall Hunt
farm east of Rising Sun.

lor by first wife. lived and rear
ed his family on their farm till he
removed to Hickory Grove where
he established an Inn" and general

Calvert.
Another of Samuel Taylol's fam
lily by first wife was Ann Eliza who
married Taylor Reynolds. Their
children included Barclay. John,

CHRISTMAS THRILL GREATEST
OF ALL

The love in our hearts toward our
fellow men; the happy expectant,
gay eagerness of children and their
joyous, merry voices; the deep, re-
freshing aroma of the forests which
for brief period we bring into our
homes; the bringing together of all
members of the family: the gaiety
and the enthusiasm of Christmas
shoppers; the stores decorated and
looking their best in holiday attire;
the cordial, heartfelt greetings which
are extended to us and which we ex-
tend to others; the renewing of old
time friendships by the sending of a
bright Christmas card; the generos-
ity in our souls toward all; the car
OILS which ring out the Christmas
spirit of ardent worship; the bright,
significant stars twinkling down
from the heavens above; the sim
plicity of the Christmas season; all
form part of the great Christmas
thrill. There is no thrill in the
world like unto it.-Mary Graham

RECEIVING CHRISTMAS GIFTS

While every gift given may mean
also a gift received, Christmas al
ways has two sides, and certainly
there is great joy in receiving the
tokens of love and friendship that
come to US, not because of the mon
ey value, for most gifts are bought
for small sums, but because they
convey to us an expression of some
ones affection.
Our character is likely to be re-
vealed by the spirit Of our giving.
1t is this fine art of receiving well
that will not only make Christmas
the more joyous, but will also be an
all-year virtue. if it is cultivated in
our hearts.-F. H. Sweet,
