CHRISTMAS.
No other holiday can ever produce
the same spirit of universal j;ood feel
ing that comes with Christinas. There
were “glad tidings of great joy” on
the first Christmas morning and with
eaeli recurring anniversary of the event
the soul of man grows mellow under
the softening influences of the day, hu
manity is strsngtheued, sorrows aie
forgotten, enmities are laid aside and
a genial merriment rules among the
brotherhood of men.
Christmas m the South means more
than it does in some other sections of
•the Union.
Tlio pilgrim fathers who came over
jn the May flower and whose austere in
stitutions will give color in some.re
spects to the customs of the Northern
people, M ore a sect of reformers, and
they regarded Christmas with some of
the same skepticism that they attached
to othe church festivals, ami, therefore
to a great extent divested the day of
its sanctity.
They set apart u day of their own for
prayer and thanksgiving, which with
them became more important than
Christmas and »s largely so with their
descendants.
But it was not that way iu the South.
In this section the people adhered to
the Christmas of merry old England
and to the Southerner of the present no
other day could possibly have the same
significance. We have adopted in a
mild way tho Puritan Thanksgiving in
tho South. It is a good day to eat tur
key and take a holiday hunt. We givo
patriotic observance to the Fourth of
July and wo wish our neighbors a hap
py Now Year.
But to tho genuine Southerner nouo
of these days iu auy respect has tho
glorious significance that attaches to
Christmas. None can bring tho jollity
and loving kindness of that which was
first proclaimed to the shepherds at
Bethlehem.
In German folk lore there is a legend
of the Christmas rose, or, more proper
ly, of the Christmas rosebush. The
story it too long to toll in full hero, but
the main point is that all tho year this
bush was leafless and brown, but with
with the coming of Christmas it bur
geoned and blossomed. That rose-
bash was typical of (he human heart
that plods a weary way through life,
bnt grows warm and bright at Christ-
mis. All men of all conditions are
glad at Christmas time.
The most commendable feature of
the Christmas spirit, that most in ac
cord with the true meaning of the day,
is charity. The liest way to be happy
onrselves is to maks someone else hap
py and in giving relief to the poor this
can best be realized.
While Amuricus Las one of tbo fluent
h) stems of public education of any city
in Georgia, it 1s a lameutable fact that
thi« does not include that branch so
thoroughly essential to the dtv lop
inniit of the young mind and body—
a totiool of manual training.
But this, even, is now within onr
reach, if we desire it.
Americas can easily have sutih a val
uable addition to her t-choolp, for there
are others who will willingly give
finano al aid if we are disposed to help
ourselves.
The limes-Recorder presenle at
length iu its editorial columns this
morning most excellent reasons for the
eHabiir-bmcut of a school of wjuttal
training, atd here only propoies to
tell how this cun b.j secured—the beat
investment our city could make.
If wo will help, only half, tod fiuy
tb * cost, we can get it,
A prominent citizen of Amuricu-, in
Atluutu a day or two ago, was ap
pro iched by a distinguished educator
wiih the suggestion that if out peop/e
would defray half the cost of tBtublish-
tug such a school here, the remaini g
funds necessary would be forthcoming.
Th uk of that proposition; other peo
ple, people interested in the education
of cur boys and girls, will giva half
the money—no matter whatthe amount
—if wo OLly will give half.
The Timet-Tlecorder begs to impress
upon the people of Americu* the iuj
portuuoo of accepting this got Jon o| •
porlunity. Let us discuss it together,
uud appreciate fully the advantage of
adding this most important branch to
ihe public srhit|l system of America*.
Aud ere the dawn of another Chris»-
mas eve a sp'eudid* new builidioir—a
manual training sell »ol— ill equipped,
will be otirs.
