Mr. nd Mrs. Sperry are among the old est residents of this section, having taken up their abode here some 50 years ago, engaging in the raising of livestock. They retired a number of cars ago and have made their home n Heppner since.

REMINGTON. The keeping of the anniversary of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth bears witness to an astounding influence in the world, immeasurably greater than any outward expression of the Chris tian faith. Millions of people all over the earth who never join in a carol nor lift their voices in praise of the newborn King, yet feel the spirit of the season, the grip of the nneers of the Christ Child upon their heart strings, and it brings a new look into hard and selfish faces. The message of the ngels is so compelling that it breaks through all discordant notes. Strife, envy, hatred, the sordid pur- uit of wealth and the tempting voices of sensual pleasures, are stilled for a season and humanity is carried out of its earth-bound prison into the free air of love, peace, and good will. It as though the greatest "sending station" of all, controlled by the Mas ter hand, had issued a yearlv decree: "Clear the air for the angel choirs, tor the good news of all ages. Behold I bring you glad tidings of great jy which Bhall be to all people, for unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior which is Christ the Lord." There is just one licht that never fails, ond that Light glows brierhtest when the Star of Bethlehem shines over the hills and irradiates the earth. It is a light which makes man aware both of his character and his destiny. All the rest of the year he may think of himself as a "gogetter," an active successful business man, but now he must see himself as a child of God, spiritual creature, one destined tn immortality. The message is not simply for the chosen people of God. the elect individual or nation, it is for all, and that means every one, no matter how worldly or sordid or self ish or unlovable. The point about Christmas is that on that ofay a mes sage is filtering through which is so universal in content and meaning that n transcends the bounds of race or color, nation or creed. In its univer sality it satisfies the religious in stinct of man because it is based up on tile spiritual character and des- tiny of humnnity. The Son of God came to earth in order that man might have authoritative assurance of his inheritance as a child of God. Of course, it was inevitable that this Good News should be given a variety of interpretations, just as the beauty and truth of the Creator has u manifold expression in nature. The Light of that Star of Bethlehem has been broken up into the colors of the spectrum because of the media through which it has been passed. If one really loves the light, he is not disturbed because it appears in dif ferent colors, but he must insist that It takes all the colors to make the clear white light of truth. Perhaps we have reached that tolerance of view which admits that others may be worshipping the Christ Child, even if they do not sing the same hymn nor say the same creed. At least on Christmas the flood gates of love, peace and good will are unloosened and a person must be a remarkably strong swimmer to battle against such a flood. To hold fast to one's own SaidltOJitb DolIBa6ie$ narrow conception of the truth and of the purposes of God, is indeed dif ficult on the anniversary of the birth of Jesus. We should give high praise and un feigned thanks for the message of Christmas in all ages, but especially in this twentieth century. If you don't think the old world is any bet ter than it was, read your history or go and live in some place where Christ is not known. Be a real pa gan, a genuine barbarian, and suffer their cruelties and lust. Thank God for the Good News of Christmas, for there one finds a truth inherent in all religion, an answer to the soul hunger of every child of man. The great question of life is not how much can I get out of my of a being am I now that I have been made? The problem of existence is not huw much can I get out of my three score years ond ten, but how can I fit and educate myself for eter nity. Before the first Christmas, hu manity groped blindly in a religion of shadow and great darkness. They wanted to know wherrce they came and whither they went. Some light had been given', but there wasn't any real certainty for all mankind. Prophets, teachers, philosophers had wrestled with these questions, and some had offered a solution which satisfied in part. Now the Infinite God stooped down from high heaven and gave Himself that he might as sure humanity of His love and lift man up to the place where He dwells. Christmas bears witness to the fact that God cares, and the universal re sponse which the world makes to the Good News, the soul hunger which we find satisfied by the message of the angels, is sufficint proof that all mankind can look unto him and be saved. Sometimes we think that the mir-i acle of Christmas is as great as that of the Incarnation, perhaps it is more universal in its acceptance. Many there are who cannot accept the vir gin birth and yet find, their utmost hopes realized in the love, the peace, and the good will of Christmas Day. For you and me as Christians, the Good News has in it all the cher ished memosies of Bible and creed, of carols and customs, and blessed joyful traditions. We lift up our hearts in great thankfulness. But let us not forget those who pay trib ute to the message, but do not yet know the Messenger as we do. ALL SAINTS EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

HURT BY FALL FROM LADDER. J. G. Thomson, senior partner of Thomson Bros., has been laid up at his home since Saturday as a result cl a fall he got. Wishing to do some work on the roof of the store, Mr. Thomson attempted to reach the ob ject of his desires by way of a lad der, and when nearly up this imple ment proceeded to part about the mid- ale, letting Jim down very suddenly, striking first on a lower roof and then f illing a distance of some eight feet cr so to the ground. The result was hurt knee and badly sprained back, the injuries putting him to bed.

LaGrande Chosen Site for East Oregon Normal At the meeting of the board of regents held in Salem on Monday, LaGrande was chosen as the site for the location of the new Eastern Ore gon State Normal school. In the final vote, the contest having simmered down between Pendlton and La Grande, the latter city received five as against four votes for Pendleton. By a process of elimination, other places bidding for the school were dropped out. Naturally LaGrande is much elated over this victory, but Pendleton is dissatisfied, and is now setting up the charge that they were dealt with in on unfair manner, and a committee was sent to Salem to enter their pro test with the board of regents. The claim is made that Governor Pierce, whose home is at LaGrande. used undue influence in getting support for the home town, hence Pendleton is entering a protest. It is understood that a report on the selection of the site for the Eastern Oregon tuberculosis hospital will be made the coming week, and in this Heppner has sn interest, but will not likely have any kick to make should the hospital go elsewhere.

Dixie Jubilee Quartette, Star Theater Dec. 28th There is always something about the music of colored singers and play ers which touches a responsive chord in the heart of every listener. They do the things they love so well. They sing the old folk songs of the South in the 'r own inimitable way. There is nothing so full of genuine sweet ness, so full of melody, as these old negro sonijs with all their simplicity, ' nd it takes the real negro to sing them as they should be sung. The succesi of The Dixie Jubilee Quartet is due to the fact that they stick very largely to these plantation melodies for which their voicer are so peculiar ly adapted. However, while the folk lore s ngs are favored the program is inters) er?ed with many humorous and bopular selections. The versatility of the company is remarkable and makes an intensely interesting and varied program possi ble. There is not a dull moment any where. Mr. Morris, the first tenor, is a cartoonist of rare ability. Always sees ti e "unr.y side of everything and puts it in his original rapid drawings. The unexpected is liable to happen any time to his easel. Mr. Starks, second tenor, shows his versatility by playing the violin and saxophone. The personnel includes a brilliant pianist whose repertoire ranges from the gems of opera on down to mod ern ppular number?. Frequent refer ence is often made by the press to Mr. Stewart as "The Black Paderew ski." Mr. Ilernett is a complete mas ter of the bdiijo-guitar and ukalele rnd in his instrumental solos and duct numbers will make your feet mark time in spite of yourself. No music lover should miss this great worthwhile concert, a master effort by four real artists.
