CHRISTMAS — 192 3 It is not so long ago, in this land cf the free and the home of the brave, that Christmas was looked upon to some extent as a sert of Jicred festival, and the children of our Puritan fathers never knew that the birthday of the Saviour was a day ol joy and praise and glory to God. The years drop off, one by one: nations and rulers come and g< inrch as the seasons do. Revolutions with their wholesale blood-letting, wasteful and gory come and go The world ma. stand on its head for an hou or ,two, but it soon resumes it feet and its balance and its busi ness of being born, growing up marrying, having children, dy ing, an has been its custcm fror the beginning. The wild youn< radical of today will b? the mid die aged moderates of the nex* decade and the pompous conser vatives of the next generatior who will look back upon histor; much as we look upon the bi goted rule of Cotton Mather wh< burned women for witchcraf and ordered that William Penn and his crew of heretics be in tercepted before landing cn ou shores, and “sold into slavery ir the Barbadoe&i in exchange so good rum, that much good corm to ve cause of ye Lord.” The war is over. Os the work set free and the New Day, ala there is but little trace. Afte all. the tempests, earthquake? tidal waves and wars—the work rolls on about its busine*?, jus as it did in the days of Abra ham and Moses. The planet Earth is but ■ mi<?ro«copal speck of dirt. Several thousand times smaller that the point of a cambric needle when measured in the yard stick of our sun’s firmament—land we, the people, are infinfis J ma! atoms on the floor of tha' }earth. But the Great Invisible Intel j ligcnce that created all thing* |on a marvelously perfect system, and gives to man some i small degree of that intelligence palled thought or soul, still lives and rules — the Master and Kin** cf more than man can even imagine. There is nothing old—there is nothing new. Peace cn eart ** has yet to become more than ? sign and a symbol of the future—a star in the heavens, dlsj tant no man knows how many aeonsl Everything falls but everything rises again. One thin? j survives and neither falls or ! fails—the eternal spirit in the heart of man that, despite wars and dissentions, draws him to ihis fellow mortal for cheer and comfort in a darkly mysterious universe. I So, in the mid.it of all, here 1 is Christmas the eternal surprise tiie old world offers to each oncoming host of the chib’ i dren of men. It brings ua back Ito a clean perspective— to the truth that we are all children} of on# family, hailing from the same source, going to the end. In the midst of falling; things it is a good day to take: serious thought of that Brother, hood of Man counseled by Him wh<se birthday wv eolebrate. Love, not law; Right, not might; Faith and Reverence, not fear, will result in that “Pence I on earth, good will t sung by the angels at Beth les hem two thousand years ago ai? 1 by countless millions of the church ?hoirs throughout Christendom ever —and yet, »«• called intelligent »en as well as statesman conterti it is but a Utopian dream. So, today, amidst the. tumbling things, one winders if money can buy a ticket to heaven? If the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, is a natural law? Intelligence is» a part of the Divine Creator, passed on to man in His own image. Therefore it is a good day to seriously consider these things, and try to look our Creator square in the eye without a blush of shame. —o— PETITION FOR MORE ROADS Petitions have been filed with the board of county commissioners for a concrete road connecting the Hills to Lake road with Buttermilk Point, Lake Wawasee and a concrete road in Turkey Creek township, connecting the Hills to Lake road with the Dill and Yellowstone Trail road. Eventually, it is believed, the road around Lake Wawasee will be entirely- paved. o<, — Though not on Main street, our friends we are glad to greet, one each and every day of the year. Now that it’s so near Christmas, why should you miss us? We have gifts and good eats here. At The Sign of The Kettle. 34-lt o Subscribe for the Journal

“THE LEGEND OF CATHAY” ‘‘There was once a strange country called Cathay, and the Ruler thereof was one King Ku- } bla Khan who, although a mighty warrior, was a wise and beneficient Ruler, greatly beloved by ’ his people, while they in turn were bound to him by the strong ties of love and loyalty. ‘‘Now’ the King’s birthday w-as always observed by all his subjects by what was called ‘‘Tne White Feast,” at which time the king and his court assembled in j the Royal Palace, all dressed in ■ white apparel. “The floors were laid with the whitest of marble; the walls and ‘ windows were draped with costly white silk. Every subject j brought his king a birthday gift, and every gift, was a white gift to show that the love and I loyalty of the giver was pure and without stain. The rich brought gifts of pearls, carvings , in ivory, cosily white embroidered garments and spans of , white horses. The poor brought J white doves and pigeons, or perf | eHance a mere handful of rice. , Nor did the king regard one gift above another so long as all j were white. ‘‘And so they kept the king’s ’ birthday year by year.” This beautiful legend has done more to stimulaate the real spirit of Christmas than any other ’ that has appeared in many J .’years. It forms the basis of } many splendid Christmas pro- }: grams, and calls the people to Mmake the Christmas service a real service for worship, in w-hi- h the worshipner gives the Great King gifts of Self, Serjviee. and Substance. It has been adopted by many different de- ’ I nominations as their standard ’jservice, and has proven of much ’jworth to the communities in which it has been given. j Using this legend as a basis, she Sunday school of the United Brethren church in Syracuse will render the Christmas! ser-

vice, “The Shepherds’ Vision” on Sunday evening, December 23. The program will begin at 7:30. The spirit of the service is one of consecration to the service cf Jesus Christ, and in the offering of the Gifts of Self, Service, and Substance, one comes more nearly entering into the re.il spirit of the Christmas tide and more nearly into the spirit of the Master. The gifts of substance will be given to the Otterbein Home, i the only institution of the Church in the middle west, where 177. orphan children are; being cared for and trained for} life’s service under Christian tu-l ition, and about 70 old people; find real homes for their declin-} ing years. We want the general public to attend this service and a very cordial invitation is extended to all. Remember thfa program will be given on Sunday evening, December 23. . o FORD SERVICE EXTENSION Detroit, Mich., Dec. 15. - Extension of ’he rrrd Motor Company’s sales and sei vice organization during the year has beer rather remarkable and is due, of course to the continually increasing demand for Ford products. There has been 432 new dealers appointed since January 1, bringing the total number of authorized dealers in the United States up to 9,448 —the greatest retail organization ever known. Authorized service stations also have been steadily increased in order to afford the best possible service to the constantly growing number of Ford owners. At present the Ford service stations total around 22,000. In foreign countries there are 3,800 authorized Ford dealers and 7,000 service stations. o They say the reason there was no card playing on the ark was because Noah sat on the deck.
