Il
With the Thanks
giving season over
k2,/ and the fall safely
- - passed, now our
thoughts are directed to Christ
mas and all of the things it sig
nifies and brings. There will be
the separation of families new
err before experienced. In some
cases there will be merely
narrow strip of our country
forming a division. In some
cases our whole country will
make the invisible line. In
other instances vast waters will
flow between service men and
their loved ones. So this will
be a Christmas not often ex-
perienced by us. Our wishfuI
thoughts are directed toward
an early peace, which at this
times seems too much to eX-
pect. There have been other
miracles, so why not that?
There are still young children
who should be kept in the
sweet mysteries of Santa Claus,
so the entire pattern for the
holy season must not be on
such a serious theme. There is
still the joy of giving, and the
delight of being remembered,
the appreciation of a well
protected country, the reverent
satisfaction of the acknOwl-
edgment of the Supreme Being.
II there are separations we are
still so bountifully blessed.
Let's make the best of what we
have, shall we?
"A few social things have
happened this week, beginning
with Monday evening when
Mrs. Horace Edwards, the for
mer Jean Galloway, you all re-
member, entertained at the
home of her parents for Mrs.
Lawrence Isaacs. 1t was a stork
shower and all of tie lovely
pink and blue things given her
for her coming blessing were
delightful to see. 1t was a gen.
uiue surprise, too, a feat not
always carried off as one would
wish. The guests invited, most
of whom were there, were Vir-

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH

Christian Science Church Service
Report for Sunday. December G.
Subject: God the Only Cause and

Golden Text: Psalms S6:9, 10. All
hations whom thou hast made
shall come and worship before thee,
o Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
For thou art great, and doest Won
drous things: thou art God alone.
A Bible citation from the lesson
sermon: lisa. 44:6, 8 & 45:1S. Thus
saith the Lord the King of Israel,
and his redeemer the Lord of hosts;
l am the first, and 1 am the last;
and beside me there is no God. s.
Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have
not 1 told thee fromNt THAT time, and
have declared it? ye are even my
witnesses. Is there a God beside
me? yea, there is no God; l know
not, any. IS. For thus saith the
Lord that created the heavens; God
himself that formed the earth and
made it, he hath established it, he
created it not in vain, he formed
it to be inhabited: l am the Lord;
and there is none else.
Correlative from the textbook,
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy: The divine Principle, or
Spirit, comprehends and expresses
all, and all must therefore be as
perfect as the divine Principle is
perfect. Nothing is new to Spirit.
Nothing can be novel to eternal
Mind, the author of all things, who
from all eternity knoweth His own
ideas. Deity was satisfied with His
work. How could He be otherwise,
since the spiritual creation was the
Outgrowth, the emanation, of His
infinite self-containment and i'm
mortal wisdom?

SAFETY COUNCIL NOTES
AN URGENT PLEA
To The People of Delaware:

]
| Now that Thanksgiving, 1912, is
a thing of the past. our attentions
turn toward the hustle and hustle.
turmoil, and jubilence of the
Christmas holiday season.
We in Delaware were very for
tunate this Thanksgiving season in
so much as we had no fatal auto
mobile accidents in our state. Yes,
our auto fatalities in Delaware
have lessened so far this year
compared with last year. But let's
not rest on our laurels with that
Snug look of satisfaction on our
faces. I'm sorry to say that our
auto deaths have not decreased in
proportion to the reduction of miles
driven.
The joyous holiday season of
Christmas and the new year is now
drawing closer. To many people in
our United States, this season is
not going to be so joyous. Yes.
if this season goes, as have others,
there will be many people killed
and others MANNED for life because
of the carelessness and reckless
ness of some of our automobile
I'm positive that we citizens of
Delaware do not want to be the
cause of the death of some little
child during his Christmas vaca-
ton, or the death of some parent
who has worked hard and saved to
make this otherwise Oppressive
season, u safe and happy
one for his family.
In this light. plead to the men
and women. and boys and girls
the State of Delaware
to do their best in making this
coming holiday season the safest
1ne ever experienced in this state.
AS a representative of the Della
ware Safety Council, it is my regret
hat l report to you the cold facts
If last years holiday season.
From Thanksgiving Day, 1911.
Until January 2. 1912, there were
IA people killed as the results of
automobile accidents in Delaware.
Now l ask you, is this wholesale
laughter of our people necessary?
Iol Not if every man, woman and
hild will be determined to safely
urvive this coming holiday sea-
on.
Sincerely.
w. DONALD CLAYTON,
Field Representative.
