THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS.
THE pleasing custom of using liv
ing, outdoor trees as Christmas
trees is becoming more and more
popular every year. We hope to
see some trees in our town this
Christmas decorated with colored
lights connected to the house cir
cuit, so that everybody can share
in the jubilation of the Christmas
season.
Nobody knows, so far as we can
find out, where the idea of a decor
ative tree as a symbol of Christ
mas originated. But like many an
other ancient custom, the source
of which is lost in the dim past,
it is a beautiful and time-honored
custom which arouses sentimental
reflections and happy memories in
the mind of everyone, no matter
how old, in whose youthful life the
Christmas tree farmed the center
of the family gathering on Christ
mas Day.
But the feast of Christmas and
the Christmas tree imply very
much more than merely pleasant
recollections.
There is no race or religious
creed which does not believe, in
some form or other, in a divine
promise of a better world. Science
may never be able to prove the ex
istence of God; but the faith of the
truly religious is not a matter of
proof. No one can live very long
in this world without discovering
that the forces which make it,
from generation to generation, a
better world to live in, and which
are steadily making human beings
more kindly and tolerant toward
each other, are not the forces
which science has discovered .and
industry has harnessed, but are
forces which come from within the
human soul and that spirit of tol
erence, of kindness, of "peace on
earth, good will to men" is, to all
Christians, a spirit flowing directly
from the Heavenly" throne. And
what we celebrate at Christmas is
the manifestation of that spirit on
earth.
.COMFCLSOY VOTING.
WE SOMETIMES wonder what
would happen if everybody who
is entitled to vote at a Presidential
election were compelled to go to
the polls or go to jail. The first
thing we would have to do would
be to build a lot more jails. For
at the last Presidential election, in
1928, only just a bare half of the
citizens who were entitled to vote
took the trouble to do so. Accord
ing to a recent report of the Cen
sus Office, there are 72,943,624 per

International Sunday School Lesson for
December 20.
TEE SUPREME GEPT OF LOVE
I John 4:7-19
Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D.
For this Christmas lesson the
Supreme Gift is analyzed rather
than told as an incident In Luke
2:8-20 you will find the narrative
that tells of angels, shepherds,
Bethlehem and the Babe. Here is
the story, and the world Is in
creasingly eager to hear. Devoutly
we will listen to the anthems and
then do as did the shepherds "Go
and see that which is come to" pass,
which the Lord hath made known
unto us." John 3-16 sets forth the
meaning of this Supreme Gift to
mankind.
John, the beloved disciple, was
approaching the century mark. It
is thought that he was released
from Patmos exile and returned to
his headquarters church in Ephe
su8. When he was too Infirm to
preach he would be carried to the
church and would say to the con
gregation merely, "Little children,
love one another." For an exposi
tion of this theme read the three
epistles of John: together they
cover only seven chapters.
Because "God Is love," He ex
presses His divine nature In His
special gifts to mankind. Irre
spective of our attitude toward the
Lord "he loved us and sent his Son
to the propitiation for our sins." In
the nature and work of Jesus
Christ we hav ea concrete and un
derstandable expression of the love
of the Father. Because of what
was taking place in the incarna
tion, well did the angels sing "Glory
to God in the highest." The exhor
tation of John is that we ought
to manifest the spirit of love to
others, and htere are boundless op
portunities. Our Christmas gifts
should be love-tokens for the sake
of Jesus Christ and we will, of
course, give to some from whom
we will receive nothing." Th writ
er takes this occasion for the
fourth time In succession to say a
hearty "Merry Christmas" to all in
this decidedly large Bible class.
old In the United States. The total
vote cast for ell candidates for
president In 1928 was 36,724,823.
We are not sure but what there
is some merit in the idea of com
pulsory voting. Something of the
sort is being tried, we understand,
in some of the smaller young re
publics of Europe. We believe it
would be a very good thing for the
nation If some way could be found
to make it absolutely necessary for
every citizen of voting age to go to
the polls, at least once every four
years, and cast some kind of a bal
lot whether intelligent or not.
We believe that the forces of cor
ruption In public offices retain their
main power because such a high
proportion of people who regard
themselves as good citizens do not
take the trouble to cast their bal
lots. We believe that it would be an
effective way of making our people
recognize that they are really a
part of the government, if we could
figure out some way of making it
worth while for everybody to go to
the polls on election day, or un
comfortable for them If they did
not And when election was over
there would be no question in any
body's mind as to what the nation
as a whole really thought about
the candidates and the issues.
THE SITCH-EE-ATION.
An aged man at the Union Station
Discussed the business sitch-ee-ation.
I said that things were mighty bad
And somehow or other, it made
him mad.
That aged man he tapped my knee,
"D'ye know what's wrong with
things?" said he.
"I've been in fights," and the old
man glared,
"And I always got whipped when
I got scared.
Folks have forgot how to stand and
grin
When hard luck socks 'em on the
chin.
There's too much groanin not
enough laughs
Too many crepe-hangers too
many graphs
It sure don't help a sick man's
heart
To think of nothin' but his fever-
chart
There's too many experts tellin'
how come
The whole blamed world is on
the bum.
There's too many people with an
alibi
I'd druther listen to a darn good
lie.
As soon as folks quit hangin' crepe
You'll see business in darn good
shape.
I've got no use for golf a3 a game,
But I speak the language, just
the same;
There's too few drivers, and too
many putts
Plenty cold feet, and not enough
guts.
You ain't my son, but if you was
mine
I'd darn soon teach you not to
whine.
He wasn't cultured, and his words
were rough,
But the old boy seemed to know
his stuff.

W. C. T. U. NOTES.
MART A NOTSON, Reporter.
The Oregon Farmer discusses the
prohibition question in a sensible
manner, saying in part:
"Here Is the plain, simple stated
Issue upon which this question of
prohibition must be settled: Is In
toxicating liquor detrimental to hu
manity? Does it harm the man
who drinks it? Does it harm his
family? Does it harm his employer
or the one he employs? Does it
harm the community in which he
lives? Does it harm his country at
large? There is no use getting
mad over that simple set of sim
ple questions.
"Every man and woman who an
swers those questions in the affirm
ative should calmly and quietly but
decidedly do his or her part In pre
venting the use of intoxicating
liquor. And, as in the case of char
ity, preventing begins at home. The
prohibitionist who drinks intoxi
cating liquor is not a prohibitionist.
"The opponent of prohibition is
In one of two classifications: (1)
He is honest in his belief that
liquor is not harmful to humanity,
or (2) he desires that humanity
should accept the injury in order
that he may profit thereby.
"We regret that many opponents
of prohibition base their case
against prohibition on the claim
that it does not prohibit success
fully rather than on the one or the
other of the two foregoing actual
reasons for their opposition. They
are against the 18th amendment
because of the degree to which It
does prohibit, and not because they
seek a more effective method of
control.
"We gladly acknowledge that
some friends of liquor sincerely be
lieve that liquor is beneficial rath
er than harmful to mankind. We
deplore the fact that some and we
believe they are the ones fighting
the 18th amendment most vigorous
ly desire that humanity should
suffer in order that they may profit
thereby.
"We urge honesty upon both sides
of this vital Issue. We urge that
the Issue be fought out vigorously,
courageously and to the end on the
basis of the one and only funda
mental Issue involved: Is Intoxi
cating liquor good or is it bad for
men and women, boys and girls of
our country? If if Is good, we
should legalize it and cultivate Its
use. If it is bad, we should unite
in a sincere effort to eliminate it
completely and permanently from
our country."
Remember that the only argu
ment of the wets which they per
sistently put forward Is: "Prohi
bition can't be enforced, and there
fore should be repealed:" which Is
only another way to say that "gov
ernment by the people" Is a fail
ure, that Washington, Franklin,
Jefferson, and the other fathers of
the Republic were sadly mistaken
when they set up a government by
the people.

A Christmas Sketch.
The American Indian celebrated
his victories of the battleground
with sumptuous feasts; he had no
other festal days than those where
in he took the most scalps. The
American white man is very differ
ent; he has many festal days, most
of which celebrate some peaceful
event
Chrsitmas is, or should be, a time
of rejoicing. The family doctor
here sees American life in its var
ied phases. He is called to admin
ister to the American glutton who
"celebrates" with his stomach, and,
unknown to the masses, his hand
goes into his pocket to help in
bringing cheer to the squalid home.
It is amazing how many homes of
the latter sort we have when we
take a second .look.
If ever a people should feel pro
found gratitude and thankfulness
to a beneficent Creator, then our
lege, are provided through a $50,000
fund set aside for the purpose by
the International Harvester com
pany as a memorial to Cyrus Hall
McCormick, a Virginia farm boy
who gave the world its first suc
cess grain reaper in 1831. The fund
was divided into 100 scholarships
of $500 each, and apportioned on a
basis of club enrollments as fol
lows: western states, 15; eastern
states, 10; southern states, 35, and
central states, 40. With Oregon
boys winning four, the remainder
of the 15 allotted to the western
states were distributed three to
Colorado; two each to California
and Washington, and one each to
Idaho, Wyoming, New Mexico and
Montana.
The winners were selected by a
committee of civic and business
leaders of the country, headed by
Arthur M. Hyde, secretary of the
U. S. department of agriculture.
The contest was conducted by the
National Committee on Boys' and
Girls' 4-H Club work.

people should be first in apprecia
tion. There is abundance here for
all, bar none. It is to be regretted
that superior skill and cunning
have taken most for themselves,
but that is not God's work, it Is
man's. He knew men pretty well
when he said, "The poor ye have
with you always."
Gluttony is man's weakness-
yes, its a serious fault I can
see no reason for celebrating the
birth of our Saviour in riotous liv
ing. It should be a spiritual, ra
ther than a gastronomic feast. In
deed, my own Christmas hour3 are
more filled with mental feasting
than with material spices. I love
to contemplate that wonderful
manger and its Princely Occupant

body is amply content with the
simplest things. We pay penalties
for intemperance, without regard
to when it occurs. Blessed Christ
mas! With its abundant, spiritual
feast!
