CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME
At this time of the year, our
thoughts naturally turn to Christ
mas, and, as we call it, the holi
day season.
Nome, whose principal industry
is mining, has just concluded one
of the best years in its long life
as a mining camp. Nearly every
one has profited by it. In other
words we all have money—some
more, some less.
Money viewed in the abstract,
or even in the light of Christian
clarity, is a public utility—an os-,
sential to economic progress
and human happiness—a means
by which permanent prosperity
may be achieved or by which a,
rondition of servitude, misery!
and desolation may be wrought.
Money has been termed a lot of
things, including “the root o«f all
evil." This, of course, is pure
fallacy, as the root of evil and
its corollary, happiness, lies ex
clusively within ourselves.
This also s the time of year
for Thanksgiving -to acknow
ledge receipt of spiritual bless-;
ngs and temporal bounties, whe
ther the amounts received be
large or small. It is the time of
year of which the founder of
Christianity said, "Peace on;
earth, good will to man."
What better way is there to
return thanks for good fortune,
be it good health, a modicum of
wealth, or continued happiness, j
than to extend assistance to those
in need—than to loosen the purse
strings in the exercise of good;
deeds — than to spread a little'
sunshine'* happiness in the liv-'
es of others—than to enter into
*+♦++++•!••!• -S + •)•++•}■ * * 4. ** * * a j
the various festivities of the
Xmas season zestfully and gener
ously.
These are the ways of real
happiness and the by paths that
lead to true enjoyment.
The holiday season that is fast
approaching will witness a num
ber of community affairs that
should receive the whole-heart
ed s ipport of everyone. The fam
ed Pioneer Roof Garden, held
annually one week before
Xmas, s u guarantee of splend
id entertainment and amuse
ment, with the proceeds going to
a worthy cause.
Another worthy cause is the
Christmas Seal Sale—the funds
derived thereby assisting in hu
manity's work of eradicating the
scourge of tuberculosis in our
Territory of Alaska.
The annual benefit baseball
games are again scheduled, the
proceeds of which are turned in
to the Community Xmas Fund.
Nome's yearly Community Xmas
Tree is once again to be celebrat
ed, a festival evening in which
every c! Id in Nome participates.
Our three local churches are
particularly celebrant at this sea
son of the year, for they and
their parishoners are commemor
ating the birth of the lowly car
penter of Nazareth who gave to
the world the immortal precept,
which is the basis of civilization
as we know it, “do unto others
as you would have others do
unto you.”
Las: bu: not least is Nome’s
anno ! contribution to the Xmas
fund t Alaska's Pioneer Home—
