■ THE INDEPENDENT I | November 20, 1925 ’ BIBLE THOUGHT If j M — FOR TODAY— j it? Bible Thought* memorized, will prove a' priceless heritage in after years. I THOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD | thy (rod with all thy heart, and with I all thy soul, and with all thy I strength, and with all thy mind; and I thy neighbor as thyself. This do and | thou shalt live.—Luke 10:27, 2S. ANTICIPATIN'!; CHRISTMAS. I 1 The time has no* come for people I to think seriously about their | Christmas gifts. And not merely to ’ think about them, but to do some- | thing about them. | The annual rush of the people to I buy Christmas presents has very ecI! centric features. All at onc« it I comes over them that they’ have got I to select and dispatch to their I friends a long list of gifts and ieI membrances. Immediately pos- | sessed by the same money idea, they J proceed to throng the stores and I soon clog the mails and express ser- | vices with great heaps of these par- । cels. I The result is to make a period of I great congestion, involving nervous | and physical strain for many clasoF es of workers. While it is fine to see I this expression of generosity, which I proves that sentiment has not wholly । disappeared in this money getting I age, yet this manifestation would bo b more appropriate if the people would | spread the time devoted to this ef- ’ fort over a longer period. | Christmas gift buying might well be carried on all the year. People , should have the thing in the back of their minds tight along and when they see something appropriate for some friend, they should buy the gift then and there. But if they have failed to do this, they ought to make out their list of desired gifts by the middle or last of November, and have their purchases pretty well made by the first week in December. Then they should start them off early in the month, marking "Not to be opened until Christmas.” If they’ did that, many thousands of overworked store clerks and mail and express' empolyes would sing a. hallelujah chorus, and Christmas would be for them somewhere near as happy a seasonn as ft is for the rest of us. Let us co-operate in the true Christmas spirit by doing that thing here. • ’ KCHOOL ATTEND\\( F„ During the recent observance ot National Education Week, the people were constantly told that they must help promote educational progress. But many of them do not know ot any’ special thing they can attempt for the benefit of the schools, mucn , as they would like to do something. There is one very practical thing that all families having children in school can do, and it will accomplish more than almost anything else. And that one thing is to get their children to school every day except when they are sick, and get them there on time. The idea is well established that people holding any kind of a .job or position must go to work every business day unless they are sick. If they take days oft to suit themselves for their various diversions, they b would naturally expect that their employers would not care to employ them any longer. It is the business of boys and girls of school age to go to school. The hours are easy, so that they can attend every day when school is in session, except in case of Illness There should be the same realization that they must attend in this "egular way, as if they were holding down a job in some store or factory. Irregular and unpunctual attendance hampers a school just as the operations of a factory or store are interferred with if people are absent. When anyone is absent from a class I I A i i w mother I ’ A ** 'I 41 because she appreciates | dj values —because she’ll like the simplicity, the faithfulness,theall-round performance of Atwater Kent RADIO o Nearly everybody knows that no receiving set or radio speaker can equal the Atwater Kent at the ; price. A lot of people know that no receiving set or radio speaker can improve on Atwater Kent at any . price. Q Model 20 Compact R hea WriaJi*

time has to be taken to help that absent one make up the lost ground. This holds back a school. Families with children can get more of the " worth of their money, if they stop taking their children out for trifling reasons. The schools of our to.vn could do the same work in less time, or more work in the same time, if they could have as near 100 per cent attendance as the health of the children will permit. ( AN HAVE CHRISTMAS TREES. The United States forestry service declares that the joy given by the Christmas trees to the children of the land is worth far more than any damage done to economic interests by the cutting of these little sa’plings. So Billy and Bobby and Mary and Jane can have their trees just • as usual, with no wise sages shaking , their heads and saying this awful waste of our resources must stop. The town child has from his , Christmas tree a touch of the same happiness that comes when he gets out in the woodlands for a picnic. . When to that tree are attached the pretty sparkling ornaments and all the mystery of unexpected gifts, the . spot seems a fairyland of happiness. We can sacrifice a little wealth to give the youngsters that experience. Many farmers consider these trees as a regular crop. They grow up . rapidly, and if the owner gets a fair price for them, it utilizes land that ; would be worthless for cultivation. REDK E TAX BURDEN Florida stole a march on on other states by passing a la»w doing away with inheritance taxes. The result has been an influx of capital to Florida greatly exceeding expectations. The resulting development along agri<*ultural, industrial and building lines will j»bace new wealth on the tax rolls, which will produce revenue far in excess of what Florida could ever have collected through inheritance taxes. The California Tax Association publishes a statement that a w ealthy ipan who wished to move to that state found that It would cost him SIBO,OOO more to die there than It would in the state where he now resides. He did not move to California. Florida has captialized an opportunity open to every community, namely, by reducing the tax burden she has encouraged the investor to develop her resources. । — 1 A FMTED STATES OF El HOPE. । Much ot the superior prosperity of 1 America may be due to the fact that Iwe have one country covering an , enormous area. That enables all secI tlons to work together lor common • ends. We do not have to spend our money for great armies as they do in Europe. The recent IxM’Lrno agreement Is a sign that the nations of Europe are getting sick of wars. This will be a wonderful thing for world peaice, and it «*ill eventually make it possible for America to reduce its cos<ly war preparation. Europe would be better off if tho<e nations would unite in one country like ours. Such a development may come sometime, though on account of differences in language and traditions it will not come In ! our day. ———- ■ Punchettes--I here was a young fellow named .
