GIFTS OF CHRISTMAS
Give thank*, that Christmus is so
close at hand. This year, more than
in a long time, we need the hope,
the good cheer and the generosity
of the Christmas season.
We are fortunate in our holidays.
Each in its separate way represents
the age-old wi-dom of the race. Out
of their struggles and their experi
ences our fathers set apart certain
days as peculiar. Of them all, Christ
mas is happiest and most ireful.
Christmas is old. Far back in the
misty past you have to travel to un
cover its origin. Is>ng before Christi
anity spread from Palestine the day
that became Christmas was cele
brated.
Christman absorbed and enriched
and made something new and infinite
ly valuable out of an uncient pagan
festival. We are the heirs of that
wisdom and that achievement.
Christmas fundamentally is the
time of renewed hope and of cour
age. As the days grew short and
dark and the trees lost their leaves
and their fruits, men feared for
their future. The friendly sun seem
ed to move away and the earth be
came cold and inhospitable.
Thtm observant men perceived a
change. After the solstice the sun
began its return journey. Men dar
ed to feast without fear of future
starvation. Ceremonies were in
augurated. N'ew fires were lighted
to signify the promise of another
warm and fruitful year. We per
il ive vestiges of *.hii nniccnt rite ia
our Chri-tmuH candles.
Into the very fibre of ,«ur race
the midwinter festival was taken.
Christianity could have found no
better day with which to celebrate
the birth of the Master. For then
indeed wa f lighted a new fire which
illuminates the world and touches
more and more of us with its warmth
of lo •; and fellowship and charity.
To lee old pagan faith in the re-
ne.vi I generosity of the earth was
r ' leu the finer doctrine of peace
an j good will. The coming of
< hrirt madi nun themselves promise
better for the future.
Human nature has always needed
ruvh a recurrent occasion. Use it
well this year.
1 ' ,ORe who have experienced hard-
sh ps are reminded by Christmas that
good times will return. Those who
are fortunate are given the oppor
tunity to share their comfort and
their security with others. To all
comes the message of cheer and of
courage.
We have passed through a time of
extravagance. Some of us hoped to
biconu rich without effort. Mnny
gambled when they might hnve work-!
ed. The inevitable followed and fool-'
ish hopes vanished into the nothing-j
ness that produced them.

GREATEST NEED
In response to the question put
the officers in charge of the Salva
tion Army work in this city, what is
your greatest need? We have the
following from Envoy Edw. P. Sco-
vill, officer in charge of the work.
The Army’s greatest need in Mil
ledgeville at this time is that of a
house in which to live .and use to
carry on the work here, a place of
four, five, six, or seven room* will
be very acceptable and not only is
th‘s a need, but as fnr a? I see it,
it b:ts become a necessity on the
whole.
At present th*» Army officers are
living in two furnished rooms, and
one of these is occupied by a sick
girl, whom these dear people have
t.ikv n in to minister to, so it leaves
hen' only one room in which to live,
nrd the cases that these people have
brought to light in the city and coun-
y, in some cases especially, demand
t home at least temporarily, for the
unfortunate ones.

morning, was a case I was called up-
