THE TRUE SPIRIT OF lifflOTJW
y. '
Thin la the Intention aiul Expectation
or tlie O. R. A N. Managers, Ex
I pressed by Gencnil Superintendent
; Buckley Pendleton will Contribute
! to Make the Occasion the Greatest
i of Its Class In History. - ' ' ' '.'
' It Is the hope of the O. R. & N.
company to open the Pilot Rock
branch on July Fourth, 1907, with a
monster celebration at Pilot Rock In
honor of the occasion.
' General Superintendent M. J, Buck
ley of the O. R. & N., who wag In the
city Saturday, after having superin
tended the repairs to the track at
North Fork, expressed the hope that
the Pilot, Rock branch might be for-1
nially opened to traffic and the first j
train run .on July 4.- , Every effort of
the company -will be made with this'
ena in view, ana lr tne grade can
possibly be ' completed and the
track laid by that time, It Is the In
tention of the company to take an ac
tive part In preparing a program for
a celebratloa at Pilot Rock next year.
(The people of Pendleton and the
surrounding country will bi delighted
to assist in siieh a program and will
Kind the company and people hf Pilot
Rock their .heartiest co-operation.
The special trulih-r-thf first regular
train to be run over the Pilot Hock
branch will' have td be of more than
ordinary capacity to carry the crowds
that would go from this elty and, the
surrounding country to such, a cele
bration and hot only the city limits
of Pilot Rock, but a number of farms
on Birch creelt tributary to the town
will have to oe used In receiving the
visitors on that day. '-;
1 There has crept into the
anoe somthlng Indefinable,
Christmas has lost much of Its old
time significance. There was a time
when Christmas was looked forward
to as the most joyous season of the
year. i Cars was banished, and love
and good wUl -reigned supreme. But
the'heauty of the day has been dim
med.. ...
Oiiserv-Intangi
ble.' which has no place In the joyous
ness and loving thoughtfulnesa which
should characterize the natal day of
the Babe of Bethlehem.
There is a Jarring note of discord
in the Christmas carols. The song
the angels sang the song of peace on
earth and good will to men Is
drowned by the sound of the clinking
gold pieces. Christmas Is looked for
ward to not with Joy, but with dread.
It has become a burner! almost great
er than can be borne. '
Are our gifts always prompted hy
love? If we. are honest with our
selves ve must acknowledge that
'many are given merely to keep up p
pearflnces. We give to friends and
acquaintances because we think they
are going to give to us. We borrow
money that we may not be outdone.
Every such gift has the taint oi com
mercialism clinging to It. Love en
ters not at all into the spirit of such
giving. '
But the true spirit of Christmas re
quires that the gift should be prompt
ed by love. Give to those you love.
Give to those who are not apt to re
ceive gifts and who will give no gift
In return.- Their Joy will make you
iat rnless von can put love and
thought Into your gift you had better
not give.
fau vnur elft remind the rerlpt
nf the ilver. Do not give a gift
that simply represents the expendl
ture of money. Jot down the nanus
ot those to whom you nre going to
give gifts. Go over the list rareiunj
from day to day and Jot lowii what
v'ou think would please 'hem.
Here is a dear friend, far away from
his old home. Anything ynu could
buv for him he could buy and not
miss the money.- Then, what better
than a letter, not n hastily written
note, but a long, n'-wsy letter full of
the ChrMmas spirit? Mark tne
names of those to whom you are go
ing to writ", find from day to-day Jot
down in your notehonk thoughts
which will be of Interest to them.
When you entne IO write consult
notes, and Instead , of fitting down
with your mind a blank, you ran
write a letter fragtarit with the at
mosphere of the old home nnd'the old
friend".
Havi you any skill with the cam
era? Whst present will prove more
acceptable t" the city rtr.eil.-r than a
few s' cries from the old farm or the
boyhood home In Die village? Money
could not buy a present he would ar
pteciate more. Have yon any liter
ary skill? Look over your verses; se
lect the one you think mo-t appropri
ate, and have a score or so copies
printed on rough edge paper, or, l
you can afford it, on wide satin Hb
bon. 'Sign-: them, and send them, to
those who. are near end denr to you.
It is a -part of your very self. It is a
child of your brain, and is far more
appropriate than any purchased gift.
Have you some little nephews or
nieces?
Take strong linen cloth and make
a book of it by sewing the sheets In
the middle and folding them over.
Cut out some pictures from magazines
or illustrated papers and paste them
In. Send this book with a box of
paints, and you cannot Imagine what
pleasure a child will get from It In
painting the pictures. Besides, - it
will give his mind a bent along ar
tistic lines. Are you clever with your
ixaiftV I nen coumiesa puasiuiiuies
are before you.
If you will frankly tell your friends
that you are going to Institute a re
form In your Christmas giving and
going to give only what you can give
with pleasure to yourself as Well as
to them they will rise up and call you
blessed. If no one would give a pres
ent unless he could give It gladly tnen
the burden of Christmas giving would
he a thine of the past. Then Christ
mas would once more be a holiday to
he looked forward to with Joyful an
