HISTORY’S GREATEST
MESSAGE
In the fevered life of a mighty
empire, old already and proud,
scornful of lesser peoples, ar
rogant in power and assured in
wealth, the world’s greatest
message was unheard and its
import to humanity could have
found but few believers. Rome
ruled with a strong hand most
of the known world. Her civil
ization followed the standards
of war. Power was for the
strong and peace endured on
ly in the shadow of fear and
battle.
Ye*, in the quiet hills of Ju
dea a word of hope and proph
ecy was spoken, ending an old
era and giving birth to a new.
“Peace on earth, good will to
men.” A simple message, yet
the greatest in all human hist
ory. A message that has been
written imperishably into the
records of the race and will
continue to speak through all
the ages that man shall endure
upon this earth.
Given to a world whose ear
had been attuned for ages to
the song of war, its greatest
and most enduring triumph
has been over the jealousy of
time, the hatred of its enemies
and the doubt of its friends.
Kingdoms and empires pass
and the pride of men and nat- j
ions is humbled, yet this prom
ise of peace on earth has en-j
dui ed and its hope is peren- j
nially proclaimed. It is indeed j
a message that lives in the:
heart of the world. Long cent- i
uries have paid it increasing
tribute, and it gathers in wide
observance and affections of
mankind. For the message
speaks to that which endures
though nations rise and fall; to
the heart of the world, which
through the ages has sought
for peace and followed a star
of hope and promise of deliver
ance from human strife.
The things we honor most and
on which we most rely for
hopeful progress are the fruits
of long effort to translate this'
mersage into daily life. The!
wiser counsel of the nations!
chooses peace wherever peace
is the path of honor. The world
strives increasingly to outlaw
the injustice of war. The law
declares the dominion of right
and preserves the privilege of
peace to those who seek it.
Increasingly we serve the uses
of peace and determine that
they shall continue by their
own light rather than by grace
of arbitrary power. Wars must
lecur, and strife and quarrel
will scar the record again and
again; but this determination
to peace on eaith will continue
to endure.
The dominion of peace is not
to be established by law nor
insured by its proclamation.
Its origin is good will—good
will among men, among nat
ions, among creeds and sects.
Yet there is no good will save
that of a man to his brother,
whoever and whatever he ma>
be. Greater knowledge and in
creasing understanding have
made the brotherhood of man |
no mere phiase, but a fact 01
and practice with plain people,
honest people, right-thinking
people throughout the world.
This is the sign to which rul
ers and lawmakers must lend
and ear; this is the new prom
ise of peace born of that great
est of all human messages.

Just for Fun
THERE WILL BE NO MORE
WAR WHEN THERE IS NO
MORE* GREED.
It’s easy to be liberal, thinks
Noel, when we’re spending the
other fellow’s money.
Simplicus: “Two can live as
cheaply as one.”
Cynicus: “That depends on
how much the wife is making.”
The burning question now be
fore the nation is whether or
not the Christmas tree can be
gotten through the heating fur
nace door.
Battered Motorist (waking
up) “Where am I? Where am
I?” Nurse: “This is number
116.” Motorist: “Room or
cell?”
“They lived happily ever af
terward/’ is no longer the con
ventional ending for stories/’
suggests Pete. Wilson. The di
vorce,courts have changed the
status of things.
“Mose,” said the boss of the
night shift, you haven’t been
late to work since you moved.4
Where do you live now?”
Mose: “Fo’ blocks on de od
der side of de graveyard.’’
“Mummy, “ said little Bess,
is it lunch time yet?”
“No darling, not for another
hour.”
“Well, then, my tummy must
be fast.”
First Hyderite: “How long
have you been married?”
Second ditto: “Long enough
to learn that there are some
things you can’t say with flow
ers.”
Old Lady (about to go up in
an airplane): “Oh, Mr. Pilot,
you will bring me back all
right, won’t you?”
Pilot: “Yes, indeed, madam;
I’ve never left anybody up
there yet.”
Doctor! after having painted
the patient’s * neck for sore
throat): “That will be three
dollars, please.”
Patient (indign&ntly): “Thrse
dollei’s? Why, last week I had
my entire kitchen painted for
two-fifty.”
Three smart young fellows,
walking along the street one
morning, met an aged, decrepit
minister with long, white hair
sxnd beard. To poke fun at the
>ld man, the first called out:
‘Hello, Father Abraham.” The
xecond said, “Hello, Father
Isaac,” and the third chimed in
with, “Hello, Father Jacob."
The minister quietly replied:
“Gentlemen, I am neither Ab
raham, nor Isaac, nor Jacob,
but Saul, the son of Kish, who1
went forth into the fields to
hunt his father's asses;'and be
hold, gentlemen, here I have
found them.”
ALASKA NOTES
Culled From the Newspapers
Of the Territory.
With two of her crew dead,
another seriously injured and
the rest emaciated from hard
ships and starvation, the wreck
of the missing halibut boat Sea
Bird was found recently by'the
Coast Guard cutter Unalga on
Wingate Island, near Prince
William Sound, in the Gulf of
Alaska, whefe they had been
marooned .following the wreck
of their vessel.
A Chinese employed as a cook
at Yakutat was burned to a
crisp when his two-room cabin
caught fire during the night.
The position of the body indi
cated that the unfortunate man
tried to escape after rising
from his bed he apparently
struggled into the living room,
where he succumbed, probably
to smoke, and was burned to u
crisp.
Miss Nellie Bates and Will
iam Duffy, well known resi
dents of the Iditarod section,
were recently, married in Plat.
The couple have been mining
partners on Chicken .Creek for
several years and are said to
have taken out $100,000 dur
ing the past season. Mrs. Bates
will be recalled as one of the
principals in the mail robbery
case involving the removal of
$40,000 from mail sacks while
the mail team was at a road
house operated by Mrs. Bates.
The woman was exonerated
of complicity in the robbery af
ter a sensational trial. >•
METHODIST EPISCOPAL
CHURCH
(By Rev. H. R. Cross, Pastor.)
As there will be no watch
night services in the church, we
will have a special service on
Sunday evening' at 7:30 in
which we will have appropri
ate songs and poems. You will
be disappointed if you miss
this service. .The sermon topic
will be based on the question
of Jesus: “Have you caught
anything?”
Sunday School at 10:30 a. m.,
to which all the boys and girls
of the community are invited.
New Year's Day
I will start anew this morning
with a higher, fairer creed
I will cease to stand complain
ing of my ruthless neighbor’s
greed;
I will cease' to sit repining
while my duty’s .call is clear,
I will waste no moment whin
ing, and my heart shall know
no fear.
I will look sometimes about mt
for things that merit praise;
I will search for hidden beaut
ies that elude the grumbler’s
gaze;
I will Jry to find contentment
in the^ paths that I must treaa;
I will cease to have resentment
when another moves ahead.
I will not be swayed by envy
when my rival’s strength is
shown? I will not deny his
merit, but will strive to prove
ihy own;
I will try to see the beaui>
spread before me rain or
shine
I will cease to preach your du
ty and be more concerned
with mine.—S. E„ Kiser in St.
Andrew’s Cross.
