At Christmas we are all brothers no matter what
our race, or creed, orclass. We are human beings. Our
anuiciiu ousiuiiaiuns ana lUGiisn pnaes, our preceaences
and prejudices dissolve in a common brotherhood of man
under the glow of the mystic star.
On Christmas day, no matter what the weather, old
earth seems fair and beautiful and we realize what a won
derful abode has been given us to spend our davs in. The
sweetest music that falls upon our ears are the greetings
ux menus aim me voices oi mue cmiaren. Ana yet tne
world is unchanged the change is in ourselves we have
discarded our blinders of selfishness, we have opened our
ears 10 tne meiooies oi lite.
The happiness we experience at this blessed Christ
mas time, arises not from the presents and mementos we
receive, not from what others do for us, not from any
thing external but from what we ourselves give, from
wliat we do for others, from the love we feel within for
all mankind. On this day of days we realize that true
happiness is found only in striving for others, in literally
luiiuiing me precepts 01 tne uoiaen Kule.
What a pity that the lessons of Christmas are for
gotten as fast as learned, that thev are unheeded bv eves
that see not and ears that heed not, that the vision of
neaven afforded is lost amid the fog3 of self interest, and
that with the dawn of tomorrow we return to the wor
ship of false gods and the pursuit of phantoms leading
nownere. '

side-stepped. It has been tried and found wanting. Its
splendid world-vision has been replaced with the narrow
est of horizons in which only the sun of reaction blinks
tnrougn a murky sky. ;
The blame, however, is not wholly upon the American
people, but, upon the small men they have sent to the sen
ate as representatives, men who place partisanship above
atriotism, and personal prejudice above humanitarian
sm, who view a world peace treaty merely as an opportun
ty to make political capital or secure political revenge
and refuse to aid in bringing peace on earth to promote
personal ambition.
The creation of the league of nations, to keep world
peace, has been well described as the most epochal event
in the history of mankind, of greater portent than any
thing that has happened since the star rose over th
manger at Bethlehem. It's ratification would have been
America's greatest contribution to humanity. To put it
before the senate, however, was like throwing a pearl be
fore swine, for its rejection is the senate's Christmas
present to the nation. But the will of the people must
eventually prevail, and before another Christmas Ameri
ca will have redeemed herself, for the senate is hearing
from the people.
