MERRY CHRISTMAS
Christmas is the seasoning of life; it imparts a
wholesome flavor to more or less wearisome existence,
and is something wholesomely relished by all classes of
people. It is the great leveler toward human sympathy,
human interest and devotion.
Throughout the civilized world today the child-heart j
pulsates under the sweetest fiction ever promulgated by j
man—the arrival tonight of Santa Claus with his rein
deer-drawn sled, laden with treasured gifts. And the
child-heart will not beat alone, for there are memories
of the now grown-up children which will steal forth from
the past and parade in all the vividness of the happy
hours when Christmas brought them the same anticipa
tions and fanciful dreams.
There is a Santa Claus—a subtle something nominat
ed by modern nomenclature as psychology. We prefer to
call it by its more generally understood and appreciated
name—spiritual manifestation which, under the influ
ences of the festivities attendant upon celebrating the
birth of the Savior, creeps into every heart and1 brings
warmth and joy.
So, Merry Christmas everybody!
Build a town,like a ship, with good materials, and
it isn’t so likely to sink.
The mineral resources of the United States back our
monetary system and our industries. They have made
many states prosperous and the nation has felt their ben
eficial effect. We could not progress without mining.
We sometimes wonder if the nation is drifting from
‘'democracy to aristocracy.
Marrying parsons are a great help to divorce lawyers.
