A heartfelt Christmas wish doesn't cost you much, if anything and even the poorest of us can give these gifts —and they are gifts, for a kindly wish from those we know is often more appreciated than presents. Lets be liberal with them James Clir.cn. a trustee in Grant county has been declared short 114.338 by the state board of accounts. That's stepping some for a i township trustee and ought to make him eligible for a position in the state house. It begins to lock like Santa will hare to use his airship again this year There are a good many bare spots over the country where Donner and Blitsen will hare a difficult time pulling the old sled and while the weather man premises plenty of snow he fails to deliver in the old fashioned way.

' the glad time of year is here when we are expected to lay aside troubles and cares and worries, if we have any. and just have a real good time. After all we are rather comfortable in this great land of the U. S. A. when you compare it with any other country in the entire world. Lets be happy and of good cheer and lets remember the beautiful day we celebrate. Not many around here will have to pay a very large income tax as a result of their profits this year and the same is true all over the country. If this is true where will the nation se-_ cure the four or five billion dollars j necessary to meet the government I expense, interest on debts and other necessary bills? Spec: a lot of the • big fellows in Washington are asking that question and scratching their | head* seriously for the answer. C~ | gress has wasted nearly two years; now apparently without any effort to} meet conditions and seme of these | days we will have to have a confer I •ace to solve this problem.

era put the rates up but when you want them off you have to make ap- ' plication and follow It up. It seems mighty unfair to a good many. A Terre Hailte judge has held unconstitutional a law enacted by the recent legislature making it illegal for any person convicted of federal offenses to hold office In this state While most of us don t agree with many Terre Haute rulings, we are sure this one will receive the approval of most people. In this country we do not say that because * man has “stubbed his toe" once he can never be recognised if he later proves his worth. The law was passed to prevent Don Roberts taking his seat and had the case been one to decide that point, the interest would have been much greater. The ruling was in the case against Joe O Mara who was elected to council and who had served time in connection with the old election fraud cases. - - —* FORMER ADAMS COUNTY MAN DIED AT PORTLAND Funeral services were held at Portland on Wednesday afternoon for Andrew W.

Bennet, the pastor, is preaching the whoM word of God is Hl giving the trumpet an uncertain sound The theme presented Tuesday night was one of the Cardinal Doctrines cf the United Brethren ehnreh. The deetrme of the new birth using as a text St John 3:3 "Except a man be born again he cannot see the King-j dam of God"; the side margin reads be born from above, he said The Kingdom of God is righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. Rum 14:17. so if we are born again, we are in the Kingdom of God by the Holy I Ghost He said we are not saved by works of righteousness we hare dene but by His Mercy He saved us by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost. Titus. 3:5, while we believe in baptism a Holy Ordinance of God's house yet baptism win not j cause a person to be born again. He [ referred to Act 8 chapter, where Paul rebuked the sorcerer who was bap- ■ used also believed yet Paul rebuked: him for desiring to buy the gift of God with money He said the new birth always brings results, if a man I is profane that heart is cleansed, for a man to be abdicted to the fifthy habit of tobacco, the new birth is a i remedy he asked the people really , how many have went to an altar pray,ed until they were eased but never realy stayed with God until the change came had a longing and desire, pretty ; soon went back into the world or -went co making a profession without a real experience.
