birth" With that injunction he not
only set apart the feast, that was after
ward to be known by the name of
Christmas, as the most important of
the ecclesiastical year, but, in drawing
particular attention to that tender
event, he opened the way for a rejoic-
ing that has never abated through the
centuries.
In those early times, gratitude for
the deliverance of mankind, which
the coming Of Christ assured, was still
20 new and powerful sentiment, and
sadness at the final tragic sacrifice so
universal, that the occasion offered for
q happier and more personal celebra-
tion was eagerly seized upon. Every
family had experienced the happiness
which the birth of new babe brought
into their midst, and the Holy Family
was, to them, no different from them
selves. The divine destiny of that
child could not overshadow the homely
facts of His birth, even though the
angels sang in the midnight skies and
kings bowed before Him in a humble
manger.
GO THEY set about rejoicing. singing
and dancing and re-enacting every
detail of that historic day, when Mary
and Joseph sought for Shelter that
the Child might be born, and the mes
sage was given to the shepherds in
the strains of celestial music, and to
the noble kings through the steady
brightnes Of that glorious star. The
melody that rang so joyously through
the heavens was not passed on to these
early Christians, and no one was living
who could describe the beauty of that
shining star, but they knew that the
Father had sanctioned the inclusion
of music and light in the fulflllment
Of His promise to the faithful.
With sweet naivete they adapted
their manner of celebration to this
new occasion. and succeeding gener-
Ations followed the customs of their
forefathers. In simple fashion, the
peoples of all countries sang their
sacred songs, abiding by st. Angus
tines definition of hymn; Know
NOu WlldU IL 40 oAAASAAAN
with praise of God. If you praise God
and sing not, you utter no hymn. If
you sing and praise not God, you utter
no hymn If you praise anything
which does not appertain to the praise
of God, though in singing you praise.
you utter no hymn"
AS pagans, the first Christians had
celebrated the season of the year that
was to be the time of the birth OF
Christ with dancing and with songs
set to the rhythm of their movements.
In Saxon countries Yule log was
brought into the great halls of the old
castles and lighted with appropriate
ceremonies in honor of the sun and
its life-giving warmth. AS the doc
trine of Christianity spread, the glow
ing log grew to represent the True
Light, which Christ gave to the world
and it assumed a place as emblem of
Christmas brightness together with
the remembrance of the Star.

again this week. If our club is a
fair representation of the other
1000 or 5000 similar clubs in the

to assume, just think for moment
what a convincing gain of member

Franklin Roosevelt in speech once

pie once aroused in a fixed purpose

right and just, Misrepresentation
and malicious attacks by opponents
through the press and over the ra-
dio, invariably reverts into boost
for such a movement. ....

NO NOT BREED
IN FLORIDA KEYS SECTION

For 100 years rumors have persist
ed that flamingoes have at some
time bred in Florida. John James
Audubon, studying birds in the
Florida Keys about 1910, tried hard
to establish the fact that they nest
ed in that region, says the National
Geographic Magazine. He hunted
assiduously, saw flamingoes and
pursued them on various occasions,
but in the end gave up the idea that
they were residents of the United
States. He died without ever find
ing the nest. ,=s A....
Today we know that there are
three great breeding colonies about
200 miles from the region of his
search. These are on the islands of
Great Abaco and Andres, in the Ba-
hamas, and on small islands near
Moron off the north coast of Cuba.
These regions are about 125 miles
apart. r.. ..z. .>..g..,s. -. f.. l.. T..
Undoubtedly from one or more of
these places flamingoes come to the
coast Of South Florida at rare inter
walls, usually during the winter or
early spring months.
Since Aubudon's time fIocks rang
ing from 500 to 1000 birds have
been seen on several occasions in
Florida bay. Smaller numbers have
been reported many other times.
Authentic reports Of such occur
rences are comparatively rare and
the birds seen in all probability
have been visitors that remained
on our shores only for a brief time.

Half the world lives on the taxes
paid by the other half. The big
trouble with the tax question is not
that there is too much money raised
by taxes, but what is raised is paid
by too few people. Some day those
who engineer our taxes will discover
that the sales tax can displace all
other forms of taxes. It is easier to
collect, and more justly distributed
than any other system of raising
tax money. The gasoline tax is an
outstanding example of the success
of the sales tax.

The reasons are that the major
ity of people by far never expect to
earn 5000 or even $3.50 a month,
and 5000 month looks like fab
ulous sum. Second there has never
been a time when there has been so
many things offered that require
money to possess them that the av-
erage individual desires but feels
he may never own under his present
earning power. Third there never
was a time when so many people
have the feeling that they will never
be able to beat back even though
their normal earning power is re-
stored. Fourth the thing is tangible
and personal. It is not something
that may prove the condition of the
country, of industry, or of agri-
culture, but it is a thing that comes
to the individuals own doorstep and
lifts him from want and lack, to
plenty and even luxury.

his country well in a turbulent
quarter of a century. He was
king in every sense of the word, who
reigned but did not govern. The
topsy turvey world could use more
men of his type.
