WISE AND JUST.
There wos a man in our town.
And he was wondrous wise;
Ho said all plants were mistletoe
To his discerning eyes.
Whene’er beneath a spray of green.
From holly down to t\r,
He found a maiden young and fair,
He then and there kissed her.
And when the maids objected, ho
Did penance there and then;
He counted up each kiss he took.
And gave it back again.

Because Christmas stands for the
Child, as the father of the man, and for
the cradle, as one point where futurity
is vulnerable, it will yet usher in the
golden age. To produce an ideal world
we need only one thing—a Christmas
that lasts all the year.
Christmas will be worthily kept by
us in proportion as our hearts glow
with Chnatlike feelings. Estrange
ments should melt in the warmth of
Christmas gratitude to God. Let it be
a sweet, forgiving time—a lime for the
doing of blessed charities.

If Christ had never been born thpre
would have been no Christmas, and
where now is holy light would abide a

the world would have been bereft of the
love and light of God.

Christmas is everyone’s day. Child
hood can have no monopoly of it, though
His child life inspired it. Christians
are not its sole possessors, while they
are its only true interpreters. Youth
cannot claim the whole of it even while
its exuberance gives it its chief natural
emphasis. There are currents beneath
the surface motion into which the
plummet, of meditation must plunge to
note their existence and determine their
direction.

Mr. J. M. Park’s store at. Moreland
was burglarized Saturday night. The
thief or thieves evidently knew the
place pretty well, as the door to the
store was opened by means of a key,
and the iron safe was rifled without
breaking the lock, entrance being
eflected by working the combination.
Twenty-five dollars in cash was taken
from the safe, and a lot of goods were
carried off also. Certain parties are
said to be under suspicion, and it is ru
mored that some arrests may follow.
The safe in the office of the A. & W,
P. road at Moreland was opened in the
same manner about three months ago
and robbed of $40 or $50. It is believed
that the same parties executed both
jobs, and that they may be still lurk
ing in the community.
