CHRISTMAS, IHE
OF
KING
HOLIDAYS
(By Justus A. Miller.)
On December the 22nd the school
house of District No. 60 was the
scene of an enjoyable entertainment
in the form of a basket social and a
Christmas tree given by the patrons
and pupils of the District under the
supervision of the teacher, MissOttil
lia Sauvain.
The Christmas tree, air-alight, a
glitter with tinseled toys, it stands
with branches heavily laden with the
gifts which typify the greatest gift
that God in His infinite wisdom, ever
gave to man The Prince of Peace,
the atoning power of the Universe. v
The entertainment given by the pu
pils and some of the grown persons,
was well carried out. Addie Ashin-
hurst was the star performer. Boyd
and Lawrence Copenhaver, Bertha
and Olin Ritchie and Roy Tyler ren
dered their respective roles in a very
satisfactory manner to the enjoyment
of all. ';
Miss Ottlllia Suavian has all the es
sential Qualities that are necessary
to make a brilliant success of teach-
I Ing. Possessed of a preposessing,
charming and majestic personality,
she has the faculty to infuse know
ledge into the minds of her pupils in
such a way as to make their educa
tional progress both interesting and
rapid. Miss Sauvain's success as -a
teacher will be commensurate with I
the zest, zeal and energy she so ar
dently devotes to her chosen calling.
This matinee was given in homage
and reverence to the Prince of Peace,
the gentle Nazarene, the Man of Sor
rows, the Master of men who never
wore a sword or an epaulette, or was
given a title save by the tongue 01
mockery. Yet his name is above
every other name, and His Kingdom
the reign of eternal purity, humility
and self-less love.
Christmas is justly called the King
of all holidays celebrated in all lands
and climes. Millions are asking to
day, "What am I going to give?" and
the answer must be, "Give what you
can of material things; there are
many that gain happiness only from

other gifts beside those that can be
weighed and measured." He or she
who gives friendship to the heart
sick, strength to the weak, encourage
ment to the faltering and inspiration
to those who are made for greater
things; gives infinitely more than
those who give jeweis of a fabulous
price. Give what you can, but prin
cipally from the riches of heart and
soul. . It is such gifts that add most
truly to the welfare and happiness of
the world, and it is such purpose that
the Christmas spirit has come to
create in the life of the human race.
"They shall not hurt or destroy in
all my holy mountains." This is the
promise of ultimate arcady on earth
But from Hannibal, the Carthagaiii
au general, to the meeting of the na
tions at the Hague, earthly glory has
been lavished not upon the advocates
of peace, but upon those whose trade
is war. The bird of prey is glorified
above the docile dove. Nevertheless
peace alone survives. The European
.war has plowed great furrows, but the
seed sown therein yields better fruit,
and physical death gathers the har
vest. Ruin, chaos and' destruction
reign supreme. Ancient Rome at the
Zenith of its wordly glory, gained al
most the whole world and lost its own
soul. Cato's clamoring against Car
thage is a vain echo, and Caesar giv
ing his little Senate laws, is a poet's
jest, but the sermons of the Gentle
Nazarene are eternal messages to
man, perennially new, forever soul-
insplring and eternally sublime, illu
minating the celestial pathway to the
bosom of Omnipotence.
The life of righteous thoughts and
deeds does not parish. Such acts and
aspirations bloom forever in the fields
of heaven; on earth, they grow only
along the paths of peace.
We cannot think of Christmas
without a thought of its meaning. It
means something special to everybody
and it creates in nearly every mind a
desire to enter more deeply into the
soul of that which it means to him or
her. The spirit of Christmas seeks
not to find wherein we disagree but
wherein we all unite. It is a power
that draws together, that cement3 the
many into one.
It is. the Christmas spirit that
warms the heart as a winter's fire;
that inspires as the sweetest music.
By reason of the world's cares and
griefs its adversity and neavt breaks,
Christmas is the greatest event that
has blessed and is blessing mankind.
This high festival with its many
gifts and rich happiness, has done
much to make the home the most sac
red of American institutions.
,i John Howard Payne wrote his im
mortal song- "Home Sweet Home," at
midnight of Christmas Eve. It
seems that he had gone abroad, had
fallen on ill health and hard times
a stranger in a strange land. The
night before Christmas his little room
seemed to him like a cold cell. He
rushed out Into the street to comfort
himself by looking at the lighted win
dows, Comfort he could not find.
Returning to his room, he forgot the
bleak winter and sickness of his
heart.. Thoughts of his former life-
of his. childhood scenes, so dear to
the human heart came vividly before
his mental vision.
With his inner eye, he saw the old
home, he saw the warm and benign
smile of his spiritualized mother so
journing in the celestial home of
peace, the old family Bible was lying
on the table his father's revered voice
lingered in his ear. All at once, il
luminated by the flashes of Inspira
tion, the thought "there Is no place
like home," infused into his mind.
He composed the beautiful song,
"Home, Sweet Home" now immorta
lized upon the scrolls of muslccal li
terature.' "
, Christmas is the King of holidays
and it is the day when those advanced
in years, burdened with the cares of
life and stricken with physical and
mental lnharmonies, feel the tingle of
youth in their veins and join in the
chorus, "Peace on Earth and Good
will to-men."
So far as Morrow County Is con
cerned, never before has there been
so much happineaR, and such an
abundance of Crops, for which it is re
ceiving an exhorbitant price. And
what applies to Morrow county is al
so applicable more or less to other
states of the Union.
. The press, including the Heppner
Gazette-Times, the oldest newspaper
in Morrow county, and the schools are
making knowledge universal., The
beautiful is increasingly diffused
through the magazines; the clothes
which : persons and children wear;
the. gasoline wagons, in which many a
person takes his or her "joy ride."
At this Christmas Labor rejoices; In
vention is glad; Literature sings;
Science celebrates her many victories
and the Prince of Peace once housed
in a stable, will soon rule the world
with purity, humility and self-less
love. And the gentle Nazarene must
become the guiding .star ; of. every
human heart. Then and then only
shall eternal peace, harmony and
good-will reign supreme in the in
finite and fathomless universe In Its
majestic errandeur and sublimity to
glorify the Omnipotent, Omniscient,
and Omn'n""fient God in His infinite
peace, hn-"iny and self-less love.
