Why Christmas Day Comes
ON the 25th of December

CHRISTMAS, which seems to have
~ been first officially Instituted a
church feast day by a decree of Pope
Telesphorus, between 142 A. d. and
154 A. D., was a movable feast. In
deed, it was the most movable Of all
the Christian festivals. 1t was usually
celebrated by the eastern branches OF
the Christian church in April or May.
while in the western part Of Europe
days in January or other months were
observed as Christmas.
In A. D. 337 st. Cyril, bishop of
Jerusalem, obtained from Pope julius
authority to appoint commission to
determine, if possible, the precise day
of Christ's nativity. From the chrono-
logical archives of the Roman censors,
establishing the times Of occurrence
of certain events of the same period Of
the Roman government of Palestine,
the theologians OF the eastern and
western divisions Of the Christian
church agreed upon December rs as
the date Of the birth of Jesus, and
thereupon this became the officially
decreed and generally accepted Christ
mas day.

Joan's Unexpected Guest
Was Her Yuletide Love

NINA had gone with her Donald to
Chicago; Vera to her Granny's
house to meet her fiance and Dora,
she had gone up to Lowell for Bob's
fraternity dance. Joan wondered If
any girl had ever had such a lonely
Christmas holiday in prospect.
Gee, there's that little cripple boy
down there in that rooming house on
the corner that might relish some nice
food. I've waved at him every morn
ing for the last six weeks. I guess we
know each other well enough and they
do say his mother takes that early bus
into town to scrub floors, every day
In the week." she told herself as she
was about to drop off to sleep, Christ
mas eve.
1t was scarcely daylight when Joan
had gone to the little corner rooming
house, slipped little note of invita-
ton under the door of the cripple boys
door, and was on her way to the store
for supply of everything that belongs
In traditional Christmas feast, plus
a few gifts for the lad.
There was barely time to exchange
her house dress for street frock so
she might run down to the corner to
push the youngsters wheel chair to her
house as she had promised. But at
the very moment she stepped forth
into the hall, she met not only her
guest-to-be but a splendid, handsome
young man.
"You see, miss, got the invitation
the note was tucked under my door,
but gathered at once who you meant
it for SO l delivered it to Jimmy and
made friends with him-we've been
together the past two hours, taking a
short ride and now Pm turning him
over to you, Miss-Mss-"
"Joan Burke, and you are-T
"Larry King, Miss Burke, and this Is
Jimmy Jordan. With your permission,
then, I'll return for my charge later
in the day. What hour do you say, fell

Joan interrupted, IF l may be so
bold as to ask-running along to
where?"
ITO the lunch wagon, if you must
KNOW" Larry acknowledged.
"You are not If you don't stay to
have Christmas dinner with us, I'm
going right out into the street and
hail the first stranger see. You see

Three partook of Joans royal feast
but the fourth guest, though unseen.
was present, too. Love was there I'M

ever and day, upon invitation of Mr..

to include little Jimmy Jordan at their

"Come, Let Us Adore Him,
Happy Christmas Thought

THERE is a magical pause, a mys-
L ferrous something in the air, AM
awakening of mans best and sweetest,
instincts as the Yuletide carols ring out,
the hallowed words: Peace on earth,
good will toward men," A pause when
even the most sullen, forbidding, hard,
hearted person feels an urge of the;
soul within him, to join in the merry
festival of Christmas.
Then, too, there is magic in red holly
berries, gray green branches of be-
witching mstletoe, and the perfume of
woody evergreens, melting wax and
the burning log. How mysteriously
they recall sweet thoughts of long ago
to the elders How they fill the hearts
of playful children with joyous de-
light!
Christmas is the significance of child
hood, for almost two thousand years,
ago the Christ Child brought the re-
deemng message of love to the world,
Love that keeps the little flame of,
hope burning; love that gives patience
and courage to endure the problems
of life; love that prompts the giving
and receiving of gifts.
When Wise Men of the East, men Of
profound learning, saw a brilliant star
and followed it, they found this little
messenger of love in his rude and hum
BILE resting place, and they laid their
most precious gifts before him. ]
These gifts were highly symbolical.
Gold to King, the King of Love and
Humanity. Frankincense to a Divin-
ity, the God of human needs. Myrrh
for man, and for the sorrow that re-
deems. Thus they recognized In
little Child, the King, the Divine and
the Man.
AS we commemorate Christ's birth
each Yuletide, there is radiant
warmth and spirit of love in the CIV
ing and receiving of gifts; we pay
homage and reverence to our King, our
God and our acknowledges Myers

PERRY POINT SCHOOL
Editor Midland Journal:

Editor Midland Journal:
1t does seem that the people of
Cecil County should be enlightened
as to the school condition at Perry
Point,
One often wonders how many peo-
pie in the County realize the amount
of money brought into the County
by the employment Of Cecil County
people and the money spent by en-
ployees of the Perry Point reserya-
ton in the County. The money
spent in Cecil County certainly helps
the County people pay their taxes.
Many states so appreciate the en-
ployment given to their people and
spent in their community by govern
ment people tina. children living on
government reservations are allow
ed to attend local schools free Of
charge.
The State of Maryland leaves it
up TO the different counties. In
Anne Arundel County. all the chill
dren who live on government reser-
vations, including the Naval Acad-
envy grounds, are taken care of by
the County School Board.
The people of Perry Point have to
send to Cecil County School authori-
ties eighteen hundred dollars year
for the use of school books and two
teachers for seven grades. Those
having children in the Perryville
High School have to pay twenty dol
lars per child in addition 20 the
eighteen hundred dollars raised.
Because several families could not
meet their High School bill by the
first of December, seven children
were put out of the High School on
Monday.

MOST RADIANT OF ALL DAYS
Ever ShOne So Far AS The Light
OF Christmas

OF Christmas
OF all the radiant days of the year
there are none whose light has ever
shone so far as the light of Christ
mas For nearly two thousand years
it has shone with light that could
never be quenched, and i. shines to-
day, serene and fair and steadfast,
even though it may be dimmed by
the darkening clouds of man-made
human conflict, says an exchange.
For a thousand years before the
Christian era the Hebrews were look
ing forward to the light of Christmas.
They saw the golden age before them
when the Christ should come. and
their expectation of Messiah light
ed up the manger at Bethlehem. And
then he came; and since then the
whole world has been looking back
ward and forward to the light of
Christmas.
Other days we have that are dear
TO the human heart, but Christmas
is little dearer than all other days
to the heart of grown-up men and
women, and infinitely dearer to the
hearts of the children. The light OF
Christmas shines for them all the
year round. They bark back to the
Joys of the Christmas that is past,
and they are always looking forward
to the light of the Christmas that is
to come.
Christmas is the day of days to
all humanity, but it belongs essen
TALLY 20 the children. You remem-
Der that Christ took a little child
and set him in the midst of his
disciples, saying: 'Of such is the
Kingdom of Heaven" And that was
because a child is SO rich in faith
and hope and expectations. And be-
cause of his faith and hope and ex-
pectation the children are Always
looking forward to Christmas, seeing
its light, and anticipating it's joys,
And SO, whatever else we do, Let us
make the children happy on Christ
mas. Let us help them to under
stand the meaning and the spirit of
this day of loving and giving. and as
far as in US lies. lie. as all become as
little children on Christmas day, re-
membering that he who gave US the
Christmas. himself had the heart Of
little child.

CHRISTMAS ,!

Christmas is the spirit of good
will, kindness and hope. 1t is said
one gets out of Christmas what he
puts into it.
More than nineteen hundred years
ago great men travelled far, bringing
gifts for the Babe in the manger, in
the desire to show alteration, and to
offer service. Apd we too may offer
this greatest of gifts, the gift of SER
vice to our fellowman.
Christmas helps to bring to us the
consciousness that life is something
more than mere selfish pursui: of
happiness; that the happiness of
others is of great concern, and by
stretching out helping hand, Civ
ing an encouraging word and happy
smile, we may help spread a little of
the real Christmas spirit.
If Christmas is better than other
days in the year, it is because the
feeling of brotherhood and fellow,
ship belongs to it. We are all 200
prone to let the sentiment of the
day evaporate completely with its.
passing, forgetting that there are
other days in the year for sympa-
thetic hand clasp and encouraging
word.
Why not have little more Of this
brotherliness and fellowship in other
days also. Why not carry this spirit.
of encouragement and cheerfulness,
along with us throughout the year.
Let us keep Christmas in this spirit
Those who are surrounded by COM
forts should not forget those who are
not so fortunate. If you have an
abundance of happiness, give some
of it to others, and your happiness
will be increased many fold.
May peace and good cheer reign
and may yours be Merry Christmas!
