CHRISTMAS, 1918
IT is midnight where wild Judea stretches far. The little town
of Bethlehem—how still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and
dreamless sleep, the silent stars go by.
But one star exceedeth the other stars in glory. It pauses in
its circling course and, as once it led the shepherds, so now it guides
the heavenly choir.
It is Christmas Eve.
The heavenly choir has been silent through five long, weary
years. It is the same choir that caroled the good tidings of peace
on earth, good-will to men.
Five years ago the celestial choir came to blend their voices
with terrestrial hosts, as was their custom on this anniversary of
the birth of the Babe of Bethlehem.
But there was no voice from Earth save that of anguish. It
was the cry of mothers cut off from their first-born, of women that
had been widowed, of children that were left fatherless. It was
the cry of agony of a world at war.
The Star of Bethlehem did not pause in its course. The
angels winged their way. Through five long years, five silent years
for them, they floated through space, always wearily following
their Star.
But the Star knew no rest—and neither djd the angels. They
were lost in the vast reaches. They could not return, for sadne.s
such as theirs could not be obtruded in heaven.
The angels had no guide save the Star, which was ceaselessly
circling its orbit, which seemed as if it could find no Bethelehein.
It is the eve of Christmas Day.
The Star of Bethlehem seems lustrous as when it led the shep
herds ! The golden lyres tell forth their tune! The angel voices
sing!
And Bethlehem—how still we see thee lie!
Bethlehem hears—for the war drums throb no longer, the
battle flags are furled, and the laughter of triumph of eager antici
pation has been heard in the streets!
Bethlehem awakens to the brightness of the star. Bethle
hem hears the golden lyres. Bethlehem hears the angel voices.
"Peace on earth, good-will to men”—it is the heavenly mes
sage of old.
“Glory to God in the Highest”—it is the glad antinhony of
the streets to the Angels of the Star. It is sung by Chri- Han sol
diers.
It is Christmas Day.
Bethlehem is occupied by Christians.
0 little town of Bethlehem!
ribose thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light ;
The hopes and fears of all the y<\: .
Are met in thee tonight.
This Christmas is a study in con
trasts. One year ago, with the whole
world at war, the words “peace on
earth, good-will to men" sounded like
a cruel mockery.
To-day, with President Wilson’s
message, “and the war thus comes to
an end,” still ringing in our ears, the
traditional Christmas greeting has a
new significance.
Peace, actual peace, is not here. The
traditional observance of Christmas
Day is not yet a possibility. Tliou
sands, even millions, of our soldiers
are still under arms. It cannot yet
be as it was, a home day, a day of fam
ily reunions, of giving, of Yule logs,
of whimsy and of laughing children.
This Christinas will be spent by the
largest army America has ever known
in camps and on foreign fields. In
the homes of our soldiers there will
be vacant places and longings.
But if last year were the saddest
Christmas the world had ever known,
it is scarcely too much to say that this
!s the gladdest Christmas the world
bas ever known. In spite of the ruin
tnd desolation; in spite of the dead
CURRENT EVENTS

“OVER THERE ”
Marshal Foch has a regular raily
schedule. He rises at 6:30 a. m„
lunches at 12 and retires at 19:30. He
is 67 years of ago.
Deputy Louis Dußos, in the chamber
of deputies today, during a discussion
of a bill dealing with reconstruction
and war damages, .-aid he estimated
the value of French houses destroyed
at twenty billion francs: furniture at
five billion; agricultural losses to ten
billion; mines at least twenty billions,
and railroads 9,500,000,000 The deputy
claimed that these losses should have
priority.
The German government has decid
ed to convoke a conference of repre
sentatives of all the states of the for
mer empire on December 29th to elect
a president of the German republic,
according to a Berlin report. This
step is said to have been taken in or

The war lasted 1,667 days. The
Central Powers ‘had the upper hand
tor 1.452 days. Koch's offensive de
feated the enemy in 115 days.
The allies are asking what became
of the German harvest of 1918. Ger
many boasted that it was 15 per cent
greater than any before.
Great stores of foodstuffs valued at
hundreds of thousands of dollars were
found in the Berlin castle of the Ger
man emperor.
London reports that there were 14
women candidates for parliament nom

In a German socialist state a tailor

and the wounded, the Christmas bells
peal forth with joy.
General Pershing, on Thanksgiving
Day, at the American Army Head
quarters told his officers and those of
his men that were fortunate enough
to come within the sound of his voice
that while some had achieved fame,
a right to rank with the immortal,
and while some would wear honored
and honorable scars to the end of
their days, ALL had a new outlook on
life and a new sense of their relations
towards God and man; ALL had a ,
new concept of duty and honor.
Through the ordeal of battle all of I
us have learned that life is not the I
sum of possessions; neither is it i
length of days.
We have yielded much. But who |
shall say that we have not gained in i
proportion? The dross has been con-1
sumed; but the gold has been refined.
We have seen the invisible. We have
come to a new sense of spiritual val
ues.
Our armies trooped forth to war
consecrated to a high and holy pur
pose. They formed in battle order

“OVER HERE”
With a bullet wound through the
head, the body of Dr. Louis Alverez
Calderon, consul of Peru in Can Fran

body.
All soldiers honorably discharged
from the army are ordered to wear a
scarlet chevron on their left arm while
wearing the uniform.
Charles M. Schwab, director general
of the Emergency Fleet Corporation,
resigned the other day. President
Wilson used the wireless to notify
Schwab that his resignation was ac

The boys are coming home. Almost

The 30 days of armistice expired on

rightcontneu might not be banished i
forever from the #arth.
Liberty? Democracy? Truth? Right-1
eousness? The words were on al! our ;
tongues. Sometimes, to some of us, :
they seemed abstract, almost abstruse.
But to-day, as Christmas dawns again,
; they have a new meaning.
Liberty—it means freedom such as
we have known in this country, free
! dom to do the right, to live with due
regard for our neighbors as for cur
selve*. Sometimes we did not realixe
I all that liberty meant We saw her
‘ lineaments only faintly. But she has
been sketched in broader, bolder out
lines, and we shall press on from now,
; seeking to know the ideal more inti
mately and to translate her more |
clearly into terms of our own life.
Democracy—we knew that in Amer- ;
i ica we had given to the world a new |
meaning for the word. But we know :
' now, as never before, that we can J
j atiil realixe new sanctions and new;
I potentialities.
; Truth—sometimes even we avoided i
; her. Sometimes even we feared her. I
We have glimpsed new possibilities,
and so has the whole world, thank !
i God! in the line, “the truth shall make i
you free.” I
Righteousness—truth’s handmaiden!!
We have seen in righteousness the
I only quality that can exalt a nation.
More potent than militarism, or naval
ism, it breathes liberty, democracy
and truth and brings them into being.
We have a heritage from our fore
fathers; we have a tradition estab
lished in our own time. We know
what courage is. We know what self
sacrifice is.
Who shall say the mother that gave
her son did not know courage? Who
shall say she did not know self-sacri
fice?
As to the soldiers themselves, what ,
finer tribute could be paid than has
been paid by the President of the
United States;
"Their officers understood the grim
and exacting task they had undertaken
WAR’S END A BLOW
TO THE PROPHETS
The world war has given a solar I
plexus blow to many things, among ;
others that of prophecy. The hun-!
dreds of prognostications as to when :
the war would end now show that ;
one guess was as good as another, j
Raphael, Zadkiel, Mme. Thebes and i
other well known prophets failed in
even approximating the date when!
the war would end. and nearly al! .
prophesied that the Kaiser would ;
not live to see the close ot the con ;
fllct.
There was really only one astro!-;
oger who told the coming of the war i
to any definite degree, and he war ;
Edward 1.. Johndro. in a letter ;
printed In the New York "Herald” in i
June. 1914. he called attention to I
ominous signs in the skies regarding [
Serbia and the Balkans generally, and !
said that Russia also would be in- ;
volved. He added, however, that the ;
good position of Venus would indi- I
cate that, the clouds would bo dissi
pated.
In this connection a New York as
trologer explained that it was as yet
impossible to predict, events with any
degree of certainty in world history.
In the horoscope ot an Individual,
where the time of birth is correctly
known, this is said to be possible.
“In order for any astrologer to pre
dict the end of the war,” he said,
“the exact time ot the birth of every
monarch concerned would hawe to
be known; the exact minute when

I that touch the story of convoy and

as hardly needed to be commanded,
and go to their terrible adventure
blithely and with the quick intelli
gence of those who know just what it
is they would accomplish.”
So, on this Christmas Day, in the
dawn of peace, we look to the un
knowable future, knowing only this,
that in the silent yearnings for the
I touch of the vanished hands, there is
; a consciousness that the dead have
' not died in vain, for they have has

Shall hold a fretful realm in awe
And the kindly earth shall slumber,
Lapt in universal law.
j Still torn by separations, still faced
|by dangers, we look to Versailles and
its promise of an abiding peace.
We are better prepared on this
Christmas Day than ever before; the
angels’ song has a new significance.
Peace on earth, was not to be lightly
achieved. It was not to come to us as
a gift. IT WAS CONDITIONED
UPON GOOD-WILL TO MEN.
All of us have come to a new out
look on life, a new sense of our re
lations to God and man; a new con
cept of duty and honor.
For, to! the days are hastening on
By prophet bards foretold:
IP hen with the ever-circling years
Comes round the age of gold:
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling.
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing.
I the Kaiser declared war on Russia
; and the numerous other data con
j earned. This would be a herculean
; task, even if the correct time could
!be obtained. Consequently, in world
i events it is almost impossible to
| make predictions of any value.
“However, anybody who knows
j anything at al! about astrology knows
i that the transiting of Uranus through
! the airy celestial sign of Aquarius
i means a seven years’ period of up
i heaval and revolution over the en
itire world. Uranus, in astrology, is
| the planet known as the celestial
iconoclast. He destroys to build
anew, and he topples over many
j things regarded heretofore as sacred.
IHe is no respecter of persons, and
j leaves ruin, bitterness and desolation
lin hia wake. But from all this hell
land chaos rise a new heaven and a
I new earth. Uranus was in the sign
I of France during the French Revolu
tion. and in the sign of the United
States during our Civil War. We all
know what 'happened then. However,
as. AqttariSs by the procession of the
equinoxes now rules the entire globe,
the presence of Uranus therein means
that every country in the world will
be more or less effected, and every
one must admit that this is so. Ura
nus entered Aquarius in 1912, and
wlil go out ot the sign next spring,
so that a passing off of warlike and
revolutionary conditions will come in
1919.”

Are They Worth It ?
Asks Uncle Sam
(Continued from Pas»‘ One.)
cure as larg. a sum of insurance
through any other channel at anything
like the cost the government has pro
vided.
But perhaps >ou say that you had
never thought you could afford so
much life insurance in peace times and
quite likely this would be so under
I usual conditions and costa, but the!
i l pries the government charges makes
all the difference and you should con- I
sider the o.uestion t-om that stand- I
; oint and.—aren't they worth this'
larger sum ?
The government believes they are |
and that is why it earnestly urges you"
I to continue to accept the co-operation
; of Uncle Sam in keeping up your con
. ( tract for the protection of the home
i ; folks.
; But now, let us ask another que-
| St:on
i ARE YOU WORTH IT?
I Yes. you yourself The government
j thinks you are, thinks so so much that
j Uncle Sam is ready to stay in the life
I Insurance business to serve you, be
cause you so splendidly served him in ;
the day of his peril.
He will stay in the life insurance
business so that at any time within the
five years after the close of the war.
you may have a chance to make a per
manent contract with him for a life in
surance policj- that will protect your
home folks whenever you die and pro
tect you. —yes you—by ordinary life
insurance, twenty-payment life, en
dowment maturing at age 62, or some
other usual form of insurance. And
mind you, you can get this permanent
protection from Uncle Sam at a rate
that will be impossible elsewhere, and
that too, without a physical examina
tion.
So now. here is the proposition:
Ist. Continued government insur
ance under the present contract, at
substantially the present cheap rate
for five years.
2nd. Permanent government life in
surance. which you can get any time
during five y.-ars at government rates
—provided you hold on to Uncle Sam's
Insurance now.
So you see, it comes hack again to
the question,—Are they worth it.—the
people for whom you insured when the
war broke out?
And again,—Are you worth it?
If you come out of the war physical- I
ly impaired, you will be. unable to ob
tain any life insurance protection
whatsoever, —-unless you keep up your
present insurance with the I nited
States government. Uncle Sam's in
surance may be continued and con-
I verted into standard government poli
cies. regardless of your physical con
dition. This factor is of the very high
est importance.
Bur leaving ynur physical condition
out of cons deration, It is to your in
terest and to the interest of your fam
ily. both tor the present and for the
future, to keep up your government in
surance. Before you leave the service,
discuss this matter with your com
manding officer and with the. insur
aance officer at your place of duty. He
will tell you just how to keep up your I
insurance, how to pay your premiums I
after vou leave the service and how I
you will later be able to change into |
the standard forms ot government in
surance. When you are home you can ,
discuss these things with the Local
Home Service Section ot the American
Bed Cross, or you can write to the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance, atten
tion Insurance Section, Treasury De
partment. Washington. D C.
Remember, Uncle Sam went into the
insurance business for your protection
