j CHRISTMAS
Christmas is almost here, and the
yuletide spirit will again find its ex-
I pression, perhaps in a greater variety
of forms this year because of the
frightful European war, which is so at.
variance with the spirit and teachings
of the “Prince of Peace.” For many,
the shadow of the war has entered the
home where some one has fallen; for
I many others in our own peaceful ami
prosperous homeland, the shadow has
touched us to the extent that the wage
earner has lost his employment, be
cause of the foreign war; and the
Christmas stockings will be less gen
erously filled than usual, peihaps en
tirely empty.
Undoubtedly too, the impulse that
takes form in such movements as “The
Christmas Good Fellow,” “The Christ
mas Ship,” Christmas parties, etc., will
be handicapped because the money
which would have gone for gifts must
be used for food and clothing for those
who are starving and freezing, not on
:ly in the war-stricken countries, (but
right here at our very door. This is as
|it should be. Suffering must be re
lieved before a cent is spent for Christ
mas pleasures. Unfortunately it is
usually easier to find ten persons who
will gladly give a Christmas basket to
a needy family and forget it, than one
who will spend an equal amount of
money for needed shoes and clothing
for the same family either at Christ
mas or any other time.
With the world-wide suffering which
martial upheavel and industrial sus
pension has induced, the customary
spirit of celebration and merry-making
bordering on frivolty would be mock
ery. Bright-painted toys, useless con
fections, Christmas jewelry, will seem
curiously out of place this year with
coal bins empty, or rent unpaid, and
with serious necessity everywhere ap
parent. The world is seriou3 minded
—it wants wholesome necessities, not
flashy luxuries.
Furthermore, each country, each lo
cality has its problems. Although the
spirit of generosity has the habit of
seeing the most distant need first,
there is no necessity in this case for its
seeing it exclusively. Contribution of
distant sufferers is idealistic, noble.
Assistance to those at our doors or
just around the corner is no less noble,
for it is practical. There is opportun
ity then for the cheerful giver of ail
types. He who likes to help what he
cannot see, and he who likes to see
what he can help, both haVe the chance
to give.
These considerations do not mean
that the 1914 Christmas will be an
empty, vacant one. Rather, in all
probability, it will be a most meaning
ful and fruitful one. Individuals of the
same and of different nations will be
brought into a closer understanding,
and all will be better for having been
serious minded and helpful.
DEATH OF LITTLE GIRL
fOIIOWS BRIEF ILLNESS
LITTLE DAUGHTER OF MR. AND
MRS. W. C. WRIGHT IS DEAD.
In the death of their cherished little
one, Sarah, aged four years, Mr. and
Mrs. Will C. Wright have the tender
sympathy of friends in Americus and
throughout this vicinity. The little
one was stricken with diptheria only a
few days ago and, despite the best ef
forts of physicians, medical science
was of no avail. At 8 o'clock last
night her sweet spirit winged its flight
to realms above. Bright, winsome and
attractive withal, this little one was
beloved among] all here, and her sad
demise is indeed distressing. To the
bereaved parents the heartfelt sym
pathy of many friends is extended in
the hour of deepest sorrow. The fun
eral services were conducted this af
ternoon at 3 o’clock from the family
residence, by Rev. Fr. Schonhardt.
