and to work-with self-immolation-
for the Characterization and health OF

Mrs. Eddy's Example
Our God-inspired Leader has set an
example which we should all seek to
emulate. In a letter written in 1855
and published in her book "Miscellan-
eous Writings" Mrs. Eddy wrote (p.
1887; Three times a day, l retire to
seek the divine blessing on the sick
and Borrowing. with my face toward
the Jerusalem Of Love and Truth, in
silent prayer to the Father which
'seeth in secret and with chiIdlike
confidence that He will reward
openly In the midst of depressing
care and labor | turn constantly to
divine Love for guidance. and find
rest"
Then in her Message to The Mother
Church on the occasion Of the June
Communion in 1898. Mrs. Eddy urged
her followers: Pray for the prosper
ity of our country, and for her victory
under arms that justice, mercy, and
peace continue to characterize her
government. and hat they shall rule
all nations. Pray that the divine pre-
sence may sill guide and bless our
chief magistrate, those associated with
his executive trust, and our national
judiciary; give to our congress wis
dom. and uphold our nation with the
right arm of His righteousness" Con-
Guiding her Message. our dear Leader
gave this benediction: MAY our
Father-Mother God, who in times past
hath spread for us. a table in the
wilderness and in the midst of our
enemies establish us in the most
holy faith, plant II feet firmly on
Truth, the rock OF Christ, the sub,
stance of things hoped for'-and I'LL
us with the life and understanding OF
God, and good will towards men
(Christian Science versus Pantheism
PIP. IA, 15).
My friends, such a Leader can be
trusted to lead us, through her writ
ings, to find in communion with God
divine Truth and Love. the guidance
we need in order to successfully
emerge from the darkness Of un

Traditional Swiss Carols OF The
New Year Was Sung By Serenaders

older serenaders recall again the
elderly Swiss cobbler who lived alone
here and to whose heart the annual
visit of the carolers was ever dear.
With no feminine hands in his kitch-
en- to provide the customary outlay
of baked goods, he substituted a
large bowl filled with nickels as his
contribution to the singers.
Thru snow and sleet, rain and
mire, and the vagaries of the wealth
er, go the carolers each year, un-
daunted by winter rigors and other
hardships.
WELCOME IN SONG
Both the traditional carols sung
here are pervaded by a deeply re-
ligious sentiment, invoking divine
blessing on the home visited by the
singers, and extending best wishes
for the New Year.
An old custom it reminiscent
of the days when life was less COM
plex and modern New Years revel-
ry was unknown. 1t should be kept
alive as precious heritage to hand
down to future generations, and the
number of serenaders which every
year raise their voices in the well
known carols of New Year bear wit
ness that it is in no danger of ex-
tinction.
And so each New Years the fleet
ing hours of the dying year are
ushered out in song that also pro-
vides a fitting welcome for its sue
ceSSor.

Stream Pollution
Elimination
Concluded from page u

has increased alarmingly, both from
industrial and domestic wastes.
Towns and cities have grown at an
increasingly rapid rate, and the tax
able resources for major expenditures,
such as sewage system, are not
sufficient to keep pace with the
growth in population and the ever
rising costs of installing a workable
system.
Altho there has been no indication
federal funds soon may be made avail
able for the relief of unemployment,
as offered thru the WPA, ETC., during
the depression, the problem of stream
pollution may cause action to be TAX
en- in providing government financial
assistance in the elimination of sew
age wastes from streams.
Towns Growth Aggravates Problem
Bluffton's growth industrially since
the "mid-twenties" and expansion of
the towns residential and business
sections mas aggravated the stream
pollution problems of the municipal
ity.
This in turn has brought state
board of health demands that reme-
dial action be taken in the form of
modern sewage disposal facilities, es-
pecially in view of the ever-recurrent
talk of further industrial expansion
here.
More industrialization further COM
plicates the picture from the respect
that special treatment is required as
compared with domestic wastes, and
the town is unable to see the answer
to sewerage system financial prob
lem unless the federal government
lintervenes with assistance.

Years carols in the Swiss language,
one of the oldest customs of the Vi
cinity, bands of serenaders Monday
evening made their rounds of the
town and countryside, to provide a
fitting musical setting for the well
come of 1916.
New Years caroling is a custom
at present observed in only few
American communities, and Bluff
toms tradition is a unique one. Altho
the singing of Christmas carols is
almost universal, the custom of
heralding the New Year with songs
is rare.
Bluffton's New Year serenading is
the survival of an ancient Swiss
custom brought here by the first
settlers of that nationality nearly a
century ago and is one of the few
pioneer traditions that have held
their own against the encroachments
of modern life.
SONGS ARE OLD
The songs-there are only two of
them-are the same ones that have
been sung all thru the many years,
as young people, and older ones too,
have greeted the passing of the year
in song.
A bit old, perhaps, but like SO
many of the treasured things in life,
the carols are always new at the
New Years season, and the passing
years have found them losing none
of their charm. Written in the
Swiss German language, they are
ideally adapted to four-part singing.
They have no counterpart in the
English tongue
The two carols, "Stimmt Lieder
an" and "Neujahrs Lied" are at
tributed to one David Rothen, who is
said to have composed the verses of
both while living near Bluffton,
after enigrating to this country
from Switzerland.
LIVED NEAR HERE
When Rothen wrote the words for
the two carols, he lived four miles
north of Bluffton on the farm now
occupied by Homer Reichenbach. As
nearly as can be determined they
were written nearly century ago.
Altho appearing without music,
the verses gained widespread popu-
larity thruout the Swiss settlement
and several years later music was
set to the lines by Sam Geiger,
brother of Aaron Geiger, a pioneer
resident of the Settlement, north
west of Bluffton.
Singing these quaint old-world
songs, bands of carolers since that
time each New Years Eve trudge
the streets of the town and high
ways of the countryside.
SINGERS WELCOMED
However, their rounds are not
aimlessly made. The route is well
defined and carefully planned in adj
vance. A light in the window is the
signal that beckons the carolers and
after the singing a warm welcome is
provided inside the house. Cookies,
cakes and other goodies are heaped
high on the table to reward the
singers.
On New Years eve, some of the
