“Doc’s Ology”
Another basketball game has been
scheduled for the Hartwell fans. A
'game Friday night, will be played
between Centerville and Bowersville.
Both teams have strong quintets.
The former team is coached by Hu
bert Warren, a former Hartwell high
player. Everybody come!
Friday afternoon, if the weather
permits, there will be a big scrap
up at Reed Creek between East
anole and Reed Creek. Eastanolle
has a good team and is expected to
give the Reed Creek lads a good
game. Let’s go dp!
Then Tuesday night comes another
game—Sardis and Reed Creek.
Both teams are primed for the
game Friday night and a large crowd
is expected as both schools have
strong teams.
Hartwell High’s bastketball team
is rapidly winding into shape. Kyle
Massey, one of the best players on
last year’s team, will be back in uni
form on January Ist and will have
about three weeks to get into shape
for the opening fray on Jan. 21st.
Gracious man! I don’t see how
any team could pile up one hundred
and seventeen points against any ag
gregation that calls itself a team.
But—Athens beat a little team,
Bishop, the other night by the small
score of 117-6. Not so bad eh?

“WE MUST BE GLAD;
WE MUST BE KIND"
3T WAS the usual day-time street
car crowd.
he tired-looking girl—overworked
and underfed—and beside her the girl
of leisure with her vanity case; the
weary business man, with bls paper
before his eyes, and the rollicking
crowd of boy scouts. The banker
who had had an accident with his car,
and resented the fact that he had to
go home in the street car. The over
dressed matron, and the fat woman
who filled the space for two —and was
mad at all the world because of It.
The grouchy old man in front of us,
who growled at the street car system
and the universe in general.
Beside me sat a woman with two
children—one a baby of three and the
other a lad of six; they were poorly
dressed.
The baby began to whimper and the
mother hastily soothed her, while the
grouch in front glowered at her.
“Talk to ill’ sister." whispered the
mother. “Make her to be interest.”
And the six-year-old, hardly more
than a baby himself, turned to baby
sister. “Not cry, not fret 1” he said
cheerfully. “Tills time to be ver’
glad. This time of holy day because
Christmas mos’ come. You get orange,
one baby doll, if ver’ good—perhaps
red balloon.”
People were listening now, hut the
little group beside me were uncon
scious of it. The baby had fixed
her black eyes on big brother, and
when he paused she said briefly—
‘More 1”
And he hastened on—" Lights in the
shops—many toys—Christmas tree in
church, and ever’ body kind to ever’
body—stockings to hang up for
candy—”
“More!” demanded the baby.
The girl had put away her vanity
box and was listening; and the bank
er across the aisle smiled at the child.
“And ever one be happy—yes—be
cause of those Christ Child,” finished
the boy, as their mother rang the bell,
and hurried out carrying the baby
and her many bundles.
People exchanged smiles, and the
grouchy old man who was getting off,
too, turned to help her with the chil
dren and the bundles.
And the words went with me, re
peating themselves over and over—
“We must be glad, we must lie kind —
because of those Christ Child.”—Anna
Deming Gray.

CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
MAKES CHRISTMAS
3T WAS Christmas morning; the
ground was covered with snow,
just right for a real Christmas.
It was early morning and the Gaylord
household was astir.
“Now, not a single package on that
tree touched until I get the turkey in
the oven.”
This from the busy Mother Gaylord
as she hurriedly poked into the al
ready overstaffed turkey one more
spoon of dressing.
“All right, old dear,” shouted Hugh,
the eldest of the three sons—"a tree
wouldn’t be a tree, nor a gift a gift
without you.”
“Thank you, son,” said mother as
she dried her hands and Joined the
boys. “Father is sorry, I know, to miss
all this Joy with us —but business first
That largest package is from him.
His letter said possibly he couldn’t
be here for a month.”
“Well, mother, let’s save the tree
until he does come, and not touch a
package, for a tree is not a tree, nor
is a gift a gift with Dad away.”
A familiar step was heard; the bell
rang and in stepped Dad, shouting
"Merry Christmas to all! My pack
age not opened yet! By Jo! Glad
I’m Just in time.”
Four voices in unison: “How did
you get here?” "Blew in?” asked
Mother.
“Well, I guess I did. Christmas
couldn’t be Christmas without you
four, so I came by airplane. Golly!
the turkey smells good; let’s open our
packages.”
The tree was truly a tree; the pack
ages were sure-enough gifts; the tur
key was honest-to-goodness turkey,
and Christmas was perfect, too, for
the whole family was assembled with
true love in their hearts for each
other and Christ was in the midst. —

Moon and Ice Honored
as Christmas Guests
HEY planned to have a raoon
light skating party during the
Christmas season. All of the young
people, and a number of the hearty
older ones, too, had been interested.
So the party was planned.
And then everyone hoped the two
honored guests would not fail them.
For without the two honored guests
there could be no moonlight skating
party.
What would a moonlight skating
party be without a moon and with
out ice?
Nothing at all.
But the moon came and the ice
froze solid. And the crisp, clear air
seemed to have a special Christmas
vim about it, too. Mary Graham
Bonner.
