The Religious significance Of Christmas

Christmas is the tenderest and most loved Of all
the festivals recognized by the christian church. It
is the day of reunions, wehn kinsfolk meet again a.
bout the f~iresides; it is then that we have time and
thought to be kind, when love and brotherhood
crowd on selfish interest. 1t is a time when earth
and heaven seem to meet and above the voices of the
man nyioses of life, we hear once more the songs Of
tn angels Of our better natures. This is as it should
be.
Christmas means searching Of heart. Historians
tell us the first celebration Of the birthdty of Christ,
was an adaptation Of the old pagan feast of the Sat-
urnalia, a Roman festival held from the 10th to the
24th Of December. It was a time Of general mirth
and joy, schools were closed and no punishment in
flicted. All classes exchanged gifts, slaves sat at
the table with masters, rank was laid aside, especial
regard wa paid to the welfare Of children. When
christianity replaced paganism in the Roman En-
plre. the feast Of the Roman heather became the
festival Of the christian church.
christmas is fast losing its Religious Significance.
1t IS secular and commercial. Never before do we
need a re-birth Of the Religious Significance of
Christmas as this year. We need once more to en-
throne the Incarnate Christ in our hearts, our HON
es, and our wirld. The Christmas Christ arouses us
to a very deep and yet simple conception OF christ
lanlty. There were those who had looked forward
to the coming Of a Messiah of sovereignty. who
would pit the might and glory Of heaven against
Roman imperialism. They we're disappointed in a
Christmas Christ Child. In Him they saw defeat
OF buddhism, they saw the weary travail of the soul

L about to make the annual William Randolph

very timely and patriotic project which, in my
opinion will aid in solidifying national unity in

of America, we'll grounded in the minds of our
young people during their formative and most
impressionabe years. will, it is plain to see, make
for better citizens and better Americans in the
future. Therefore, the competition for these
awards WILL in itself result in fuller understands
ing of the background upon which the basic
democratic principles of our government were
established. By gaining this knowledge, these
young contestants will be better equipped to cope
with the complex problems of today and the even
more complex problems of tomorrow.

WELL, like maybe you re-
W member, we certain ly
looked real good that year until
poor old Nike, rest his soul In
peace, he dies just before the
club went South and the front
Office brought in Charlie Dis
senat for manager and he may
have been a fair kind of base
ball man except he springs that
old lady OF his on us and after
that things got so confused you
couldn't find your head with
your hat.
The first thing we know she
is hollering how we are full OF
reactionary prejudice against
the female race and II Is just
discrimination that denies them
an opportunity 10 prove that
they can play ball just as good
as men and so Yezger a big,
skinny dame with a hide like
an alligator bag and jug-handle
ears and she is going 10 play
first base for US because she is
a social pioneer and she vio-
lated one OF their old traditions
up at Smiths College by chew
ing tobacco and wearing a
swimming suit without no top
piece.
And so then. the old lady she
decides she is going 10 pitch
one day and when the game is
called for darkness we are still
in the first inning with nobody
out and the score is 200 TO 0,
Giants.
WELL. / don't care, you can
w take the hest ball club in
the history OF our great ma
tional game and you can't do
yourself justice with those kind
OF things going on, although
we do win lot of ball games
by using this Prof. Vicente
from Harvard for our house
umpire for all our home games
and this Boris Pantzoff, the
Bulgarian economist, so il we
are short say so runs with the
game over, Pantzoff just bor-
rows so runs from 1856 or 1875
and charges it TO posterity and
we win, anyway.
or course. the regular ball
players they liked this very
good when they first heard the
idea but then Vicente and Boris
Pantzoff they start loading the
club with funny looking female
professors and youth jerks from
Weenie's thinking academy
down in Washington where all
they do Is sit around and think
up queer ideas and we soon
find out they are getting all the
overtime.
OUR old crowd, we were so
" goofy by this time we would
not know what 10 do in a regu-
lar game of ball, but anyway.
just from force of habit, we
keep on trying. although IL was
not easy when we have got six
bases instead OF four and you
can run from left to right II
you want to and everybody has
got an assistant TO help you
play your position. So anyway,
after a couple of games playing
like this, old Vicente goes into
the clubhouse one afternoon and
he says:

of enabling such committees to OBJ
tain expert, unbiased and independ
ent analysis of proposals which they
may consider"
This appears to be very sound
recommendation.
It would not deprive the execu-
tive agencies of full opportunity to
make their real needs known to Con-
gress.
But it would provide for COM
petent appraisal of these needs by
a staff within the jurisdiction of
Congress, and thus assure that legis-
lation finally enacted would repre-
sent the informed will of Congress
and not be just a rubber stamped
approval of powers desired by the
agencies.
TINQUEsTIoNABLY, the greatest
- evil that has ever come into the
democratic system of government is
this last system under which execu
tive agencies have been enabled to
WRITE THEIR OWN LAW.
Inevitably, the writing of law in
such manner has resulted in the
granting of powers to the agencies
that Congress never INTENDED
to grant and that Congress never
even SUSPECTED were included
in proposed legislation.
That is why there have been so
many instances of federal agencies,
lacking any specific law of Congress
to support them, making rules and
regulations of their own HAVING
THE EFFECT OF LAW.
That is why Congress is no longer
the sole branch of government exer
cising legislative powers.
That is why the American people
have in recent years found them
selves under a government of men
rather than OF laW-too often a gov
eminent of ambitious, arrogant and
arbitrary bureaucrats who do not
BELIEVE in democracy and who
have made evil use of their unusual
opportunities to DESTROY de-
mocracy.
The Congress has had an exhaus-
tive and invaluable report on this
dangerous situation from an able and
conscientious committee.
The Congress should make
careful study of the report, and de-
termine and recognize its great
merits, and ACT upon it in the vital
interest of restoring its own func-
tons and of restoring truly DEMO
CRATIC vernment to the
American people.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-11-30
An Invaluable Report

THE House of Representatives in
L the federal Congress has had a
special committee at work for the
past two years investigating the
practices and powers of the socalled
executive agencies" of the federal
government, and this committee has
now presented it's findings.
Chief among these findings is the
fact that Congress, the only branch
of government having legislative
powers under the Constitution, has
largely SURRENDERED those
powers to the vast structure of ex-
ecutive and administrative agencies
thereby effecting a fundamental
change in the basic concept of demo
cratic government.
This situation has come about for
various reasons.
To begin with, the business of
government has become monu-
mentally BIG business.
More than eight thousand bills
and resolutions were introduced
during the life of the present Con-
gress up to Sept. Is of this year, and
the probable total will be much
larger.
Of course it is physically impos
sible for Congress to have an expert
and informed knowledge about such
tremendous volume of proposed
legislation.
60 WHAT has happened is that
- the executive agencies which pro
pose the bulk of all federal legisla-
ton, and which are the benefciaries
of the powers it conveys when en-
acted, are heavily relied upon for
functions they cannot properly or
safely perform.
In other words, the agency
SEEKING certain powers is per
mitted to ORIGINATE the legisla-
ton conveying them-and Congress
itself has neither comprehensive
knowledge of the legislation pro-
posed nor the time or facilities to
acquire such knowledge.
The special House committee, of
which Rep. Howard w. Smith of
Virginia is chairman, strongly be-
heves this is a DANGEROUS situa-
ton.
In order to correct the situation
it has recommended that Congress,
while still relying upon the executive
agencies to propose legislation in
which they have an interest, estab-
lish a legislative staff of its own
available to all committees of both
houses of Congress for the purpose
