The annual celebration el'
v!hristuias is a time of worship I
and of giving gifts, of making j
yend cheer ami happiness, be
vatisc the tme commemorates the
birthday of the One who is the
world’s and humanity’s hope. I
t)n the first ClirMmns morning
pie earthly and heavenly hosts
<iiine to the lowly stable in lieth
■ ehem to worship Him who was
to be the long-looked for King,
and they poured out. their gilts
ini sang a new song that has j
rang down through the ages, in
voking peace and good will to
ward men, and shouting til*
praises of the Most High.
Then at the Christmas time
ill Christian people should bow
down in worship, in gratitude
ind praise for the only and won
derful hope of mankind, as a
race and as individual beings. t
she best gifts of our heart’s de
ration should he poured out in
Uis honor, and new songs of
greater hope and praise, and new
lesolutions of better good will |
.oward men, should characterize
•he season, hopes and resolutions
(hat will lingei long after the
-#iison passes, hopes and resolu
tions that will determine for us
* larger servie.' to (lod and our
i llowmun.
The waiting of others iess for
tunate than ourselves, happy, is
.-.'together the Christmas spirit if
done in llis name. I’he rededieat
>ig of our lives to 1 iis service and
Jhe welling-up purpose to stand
an ally by his Kingdom, are great
Wings we may get from this hour
The Christmas time is a good
.•use to make restitution, ot be
coming reconciled to the one or
■vies we may not now have fellow
ship with, of laying aside all spu
tious notions about Hod and the
‘heist and of letting the Infinite
Spirit conic i nto our lives to make
if tis what He intended that we
sWuld become. It is not a time ot
*“»» sipation, of license, of debauch
rnsj our better selves with strong
.Iriuk or of indulging in practices
rfiat lesson our manhood and wo
iuuihood, but a time, pre-ewin
•rifly, when the world and our
selves shall see us at our very beftt
»f h urt.
Let us one and all set our own
hearts right with God at the
•’hri'.tunis tide, and go forth to
make others happy aml of good
rheer by telling them of the fact
and positive reality that a Sav
our has been horn, that He lives
;'iid reigns in human hearts; yea,
l»t us go forth to share with those
«■( o are in need of succor our
aorldly possessions to relieve
their distress. Let ic rise above
vtr own selfishness in His com
plete selflessness, and we will find
joy and a peace and happiness
-*>«t the world cannot roll us of.
this spirit let us enter the
• bristinas season, and in this
frit, the Messenger extends
meetings to all the people of
▼•'alker county and to its reader*
»r\ where.
What politician or baseball
■ * n - —*■ .a. _ _ p ... »> _ _
[ 11 n not the children of their
.simple Christinas joys l»' harbor
ing a grouch, or by displaying a
complaining spirit at this season,
hut enter with them into the hap
piness their little hearts can feel,
and you will walk deeper into
life a better, stronger, purer per
sonality.
The college night planned here
on the 2!lth for the college and
h'gh school students of Walker
county, is an innovation that
bids fair to inspire us to larger
things educationally. Walker
with an educated youth will take
her place in the lead of affairs of
state, and church.
You may not have much to
give, but you can at least give
gratitude to Him who is the
Giver of Life eternal, and your
gratitude will make Him happy,
yourself glad and will not take
die joy from anyone else, (live
gratitude and you will have a
happy Christmas.
From the public statements of
Governor Hardwick about the
enforcing of prohibition, the
public would infer that he is not
a prohibitionist. Oh well, she
public has never been deceived
in his case.
Send your money away, it may
not come back to you; trade at
home and you stand a better
jtdiiince to share in the profit you
make for your home merchants
There may be some little folks
end some older folks who will
not have much Christmas unless
we look out for them, folks in
your community and mine.
A sane, happy and even joyous
(hr turns so everybody in the
1 whole world and particularly to
i those in Walker county!
May there not be a single
j drunk in Walker county this
Christina*, to mar the celebration
ot the Saviour’s birthday!
Get in the farming implements
out of the weather before Xma s ,
