HRISTMAS THOUGHTS
•' human nature is the com
motion of self-seeking, am
n and greed wh’ch some
"listic philosophers as
it u; if life is a contest in
h '1 finer sentiments are
uVnnte to self-advance
a u _ucce.-,T at any price, how
is it hat the spirit of Christ
rr.i. has not only endured but
in power during near
ly 2 000 years? If the pessi
r,i . are right, it would seem
that the light would have been
(■x'irguirhed long since and
v- h he spirit would have
d 'parted.
Were history and our daily
1 ■ not replete with evi
d' es of the true unselfish
? . in men’s hearts, we might
- 's ed with the teach
he sordid and the
■:i i- r of ihe morbid. Christ
*he symbol and a cele
of love-love which is
mous with charity and
i our purest teaching
i* the finest attribute
oi l In the face of the
manifestations which
w"ne-s during this
what right has any ol
■'■r hat the Light of the
grows dimmer?
' ii no reality in dim
' V ui be thankful for
l a radiance of Christ
■ us seek to carry it In
;• c’aily lives. Our wish is,
h:s occasion, at least, will
1; n’l of us to forget our
lions and sorrows, our
olaints and animosities,
• d that it will be to all a day i
beer and everything which
’ ‘.'o typifies. The words of
T:m have never been im
red on and we here invoke
ih^m: “God bless us all!”

VISIONS OF YULETIDE
: ve you ever had a vision
of what this world would be
had there never been a
Christmastime, and no reason
for one? We do not like to
think of it, for it surely woult'
be a black time in the world's
hislo’y were we to go back to j
Ve day when the Christ coilo: j
had not been born.
A geod many things, we h*u«
0 pass quite unappreciated
until through some wrench oi
ortune they are snatched j
away from us. Lovely things !
beautiful things, things we
ould scarcely do without far |
too often lie in our hands with- j
out bringing to us a single '
thrill of joy or thanksgiving.
We have them; we enjoy them
but we are not grateful for
them. Only when we wake
up some morning and find that
our treasure has been taken
away from us do we cry, “Oh. ;
bring it back; I must have it; j
1 cannot live without it!"
Now, we have our Christmas
ireasure. It has been ours al.
our lives, so long that we have
ecome accustomed to it. Wt
tccept it and all that comet
.vith it, as a matter Of course,
ind it means so little to us;
We give; we get, and we dc
aot stop to think why.
What if a new vision of the
Christmas time were to come
o us in this year of our Lord
926? What if we were tc
ake down a Book which hai
.in on the shelf so long that
he dust is deep on its coven
.ad read once more the story
if the first Yuletide, the
brightest and the best day
hat ever came to this old
vorld, and lingered over it un
il our bouIs beat warm once
nore, and our hearts filled
again with the love which
vas on that day manifest to
vard all the world. What a
aew day that would be in the
ives of all! ,
And it maybe so. A stone
has too long lain at the door
vay of our hearts. Let us roll
t away now, and let its glorj
lood our lives and make ui
>nce more little children with
all a child’s innocence, good
I ness and longing for the happl
' ness of. everyone he knows!
TIME.
Arnold Bennett, in his broch
ure “How to Live on 24 Hours
a Day,” wrote: “You wake
up in the morning and your
purse is magically filled with
24 hours of the manufactured
issue of the universe of your
iife. Waste your infinitely
orecious commodity as much
is you will, and the supply
will never be withheld from
/ou. You cannot draw on the
'uture. It is impossible to get
nto debt. You can only waste
he passing moment.”
On time Emerson said, “Give !
le health, and a day, and 1
will make the pomp of em-1
lerors ridiculous,” and Frank
in sagely wrote, “If thou
vouldst lay hold on life, save
ime, for time is the stuff that
:fe is made of.”
Time is the most precious of
mman possessions and it is
he only thing given in equal
mounts to all men, whether
rich man, poor man, beggar
ian, thief.” The day belongs
o all humanity, it costs noth
ng and it defies rejection.
Just for Fun
GREETINGS
Constant readers, not to men
ion
Those who read it now and
hen,
Here’s a symbol of convention
?rom our not so facile pen.
Here’s the merry Yuletide
greeting
That is broadcast once a year,
At the time that it is fleeting
And about to disappear.
Here are wishes that the seas
)X1
Will bring happiness to each,
Though the chap who stops to
•eason,
May be doubtful if ’twill
each.
Here, at least is cheerful giv
ng,
Since the token that you
lutch
Doesn't boost the cost of liv
ng
So a chap can see it much.
And contributors, remember,
Like the readers in the ranks,
With these greetings each
December
We include a vote of thanks.
She: (to friend examining
portrait): Isn’t it absolutely
if e-like?
He: H’m--paint’s hardly thick
jnough.
Our own guess was that Lot’s
.vife turned back because she
lad forgotten to put out the
cat.
“The man I marry must have
:ommon sense.”
“He won’t, darling.”
Time was when to get on the
stage all a girl had to show
vas her ability’.
Customer-Have you the same
azor you used on me ye3ter
lay?
Barber-Yes, sir; the same
ientical one.
Customer—Then give me gas.

“What do you get if you don’t
boil your drinking water?”
asked the teacher.
^'Typhoid fever,” replied !
*hnnie.
“And when you boil your wat- j
er?” began the teacher.
: “Soup,” chorused the bright'
youngsters.
Make each day tell; but don’t j
forget what, it tells.
Figures show that girls are |
wearing fewer clothes these
days.
We are getting closer and
closer to the style that Eve
set hundreds of years ago. Let
it come, after a short time the :
1 novelty will wear off.
A horse eats best when he |
hasn’t a bit in his mouth.
How a man must suffer*if he
has a sheik complex and a
bald spot.
The way to be happily mar
ried is to obey the laws and
pay no attention to the in-laws.
Another sad sign of the times
is the disposition of the newly
weds to buy a one-seated car. j
Pete Wilson says ethics are i
things a man uses until he gets !
into a tight place.
It’s a sad world, and most of
he good listeners are too dumb
io talk.
Home is a sweet place where
'ou can growl for service in
i *tead of tipping.
If she has sufficient ability j
fo earn a man’s pay, she can !
?et some man’s pay.
The only real relief for a bad
cold seems to be cussing.
Life, to a turkey, is doubtless
• :ust one darn holiday after an- i
other.
The law of gravity is about
"he only one that plays no fav
orites.
Many sealskin coats being
’.old this winter were worn by
abbits last winter.
The best love charm with
which to hold a man is a di- j
| oloma from a first-class cook
ig school.
i There is an alarming increase
in the number of wives who
prefer husband-murder to the
hit-or-miss methods of the di
| vorce court.
The objectionable thing about
reckless motorists is that the
I bones they break are not al
ways in their own heads.
He who hesitates—marries an
other girl.
Fairy Storv-Once upon a time
there was an after-dinner
speaker who did not pretend
that his speech was impromp
tu.

Youth must be served—with
education and training.
When we forgive our enemies
we secretly hope that the
Lord will refuse to do so.
