A Merry Christmas
The News-Gazette wishes to extend its greetings to every one of its
readers and to all the people of Lamar and adjacent territory at this yule
tide season and wish earnestly and heartily A Merry Christmas for every
one. May the happy holiday occasion bring only joy and blessings. May it
bring the joyful reunion of families and afford the good fellowship of
triends which may be a source of strength and helpfulness. We earnestly
hope that the accidents or misfortunes which sometimes come; along in the
celebration of Christmas may be avoided and that nothing may happen to
mar the pleasure which ought to prevail during the week.
How appropriate it would be if the people should turn their thoughts
and hearts toward the Heavenly Father in praise and thanksgiving and
render unto Him the gratitude which is due and how it would help us all as
a preparation for the duties and responsibilities which in all probability
await us in the future. In spite of any misfortune which may have fallen
to our lot during the past it would be profitable to properly recognize and
acknowledge the goodness and mercy of God in his dealings with us.
To many the year has been a strenuous and hard one, attended in many
instances with loss and deep sorrow, but no real man or woman will sur
render to these things and be a quitter. Keep your courage up and face
the future wdth nobleness of purpose and an indomitable determination and
a measure of success and happiness will surely reward you. With such
thoughts and feelings as these occupying your mind and heart you are more
likely to really have our wish granted you—A MERRY CHRISTMAS.
THE MEETINGS CLOSE
The protracted meetings at the
Bamesville Presbyterian church came
to a close Sunday evening with a
union service at the First Methodist
church, no other service being held
in the city. A large congregation
assembled to participate in the last
service, which was very much en
joyed. Dr. R. A. Brown, who had
been faithfully preaching during the
past week at two services daily,
preached his last sermon. He is a
strong preacher and made a fine im
pression on the congregations which
heard him during the meetings.
Rev. T. M. Stevenson, the pastor,
co-operated earnestly with him in the
effort to bring a blessing to the con
gregation and to the people of the
community and doubtless much good
was accomplished.
SCHOOLS CLOSE FOR
THE HOLIDAYS
Gordon Institute and the Sixth
District A. & M. School closed last
week for the holidays and the stu
dent bodies dispersed and went to
their homes to spend Christmas. A
number of the teachers also went
home to be with their families and
to enjoy a brief period of rest and
recreation.
Both schools have been doing
splendid work during the fall term,
although the enrollment at each
school is somewhat short of the past
year, which conditions exist also at
nearly all the other schools and col
leges of the state. Both schools will
open early after the New Year for
another strenuous term.
