SEWARD, ALASKA, SATURDAY, DEC. 23, 1916.
Fin- nineteen hundred and sixteen years the Christian
world, which is toe zenith of human civilization, has wor
shipped at h ast • m e every year in one manner or another
before the shrine of Bethlehem. In all that time the
story lias pe rm ated the spirit of untold millions of
Christians, gem ration after generation, and has passed
down unbroken and unshaken though every age has seen
it assailed. Men have turned traitors and so-called great
leaders of .bought, perverted by pride, have labored to re
duce the significance of Calvary and the true nature of
who died there, uut they have failed as punv insects
mint rail against a towering mountain. They could no
more prevail than evil can prevail against 1 ruth itself,
and Christmas goes on gaining greater spiritual signifi
cance because its origin has been Divine and the spirtual
in us seems to crave even more as tne time of the great
Sacrifice becomes more remote. 1 he4 look and bearing of
Christmas, to partly quote a famous ecclesiastic, is the
evidence ot its royal birth.
There is ho place in the world which has so perfect
a Yuletide look as Alaska, as we in the northern hemi
sphere have come to understand that time. We have the
snow, the peace and the bright lights through the dark
ness. All we have not got are the holiday visits to or front
relatives. Seward ought to he on the direct mail route of
Santa Claus and, maybe, the old joker came in with the
lditarod mail the other night. Any kid that accepts a gift
from a Santa Claus who came on the Mariposa is getting
cheated. By the way. Santa Claus was born in Germany
and has always favored toys made in his home country,
1 lit this year he was blockaded. It will be good news to
tiie Seward children to know, however, that a cable was
received by the Gateway saying that the Allied govern
nu nt> had agreed anally to grant him his passport and he
will he here in time if he can make proper connections at
Seattle, not with a steamboat at all. but with a pair of the
fleetest reindeer from Nome. W here he is now cannot be
told unless he went to the interior first and came out with
the mail through Anchorage. Further news may be re
ceived from him today or tomorrow and children who
want to keep posted need only ask at this office for the lat
est on his whereabouts. It was rumored yesterday that
he was waiting till the last moment to decide whether he
would bring the delegateship to \\ iekorsham or Sulzcr.
The Gateway takes real pleasure in once again wish
ing all the pe mie of Seward a very happy ( hristmas.
