“AND UNTO HIM A
SON WAS BORN”
The spirit of Yulctide,
ages old in years, and the
early expression of man’s
worship of the birth of a
Savior, comes to Nome fol
lowing a year of toil, heart
breaks, joys and progress.
The period in which the
birth of Jesus Christ is wor
shipped by Christian na
tions the world over, has
once more rolled around
and Nome and its people
lay aside their tasks of
everyday life and stop to
remember the story of the
Bible and its teachings of
Christianity.
The Three Wisemen, the
Shepherd, the Star point
ing the way, and Mary and
the Infant at the manger
crib, are all important to
people in their observance
of Christmas.
Community effort has cen
tered for the past few days
in fostering the Yuletide
spirit. Observances for the
children of Nome have been
concluded—churches of the
city have rendered their
religious observances—and
now the people of Nome
prepare for tomorrow’s ob
servance in their homes and
at other private places.
Christmas is worshipped
in many different countries
and in many different ways
In Nome our people, who,
in the minds of manypeople
in the States and elsewhere
live precarious lives and
have not the comforts of
which modern day lives are
led, are really as serious
and thankful of the bene
ficence of the Lord in send
ing the Savior to this earth
to help mankind.
The worship of the birth
of Jesus Chnst requires no
introduction nor is it re
stricted to class, religion,
money or power.Mons *chs,
poor people, middle c!ass
and races of mankind h ve
but one t’.sought when iht;r
heads are bowed in prayer,
and so Nome tonight and to
morrow observes Christ
mas Day in company with
the rest of the Christian
world, much in the same
manner, and certainly in
the same belief, that God
in his infinite wisdom, had
a noble purpose in sending
His Son to this earth, in try
ing to bring understanding
to a deserving mankind.
Christmas Day
To Be Observed
As Holiday Here
Tonight is Xmas Eve and
the celebration of Christ
mas Day will be an oppor
tunity for the many work
ing people in the city to lay
aside their work for a day
and enjoy the opportunity
of a deserving rest.

Nome will remain closed
all day tomorrow, as also
will all public offices, gov

Christmas Eve, on behalf
of over one hundred indi

but more costly in a wealth
of skillful labor covering
months of effort. Deeply
moved by the motive back

McCay desire to extend
