It is particularly the day on which Heaven, through the chorus of the angelic choir, and earth, through the vision arid hearing of the shepherds, were vin most intimate touch. On the first day when the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters, He manifested Himself in power. On the great birth night and the . morning following, the Holy Spirit '■ again manifested itself through its contact with and touch upon human ■life. It is great when Heaven and earth thus co-operate, and the essence of spirit suggests growth and life and power. THE announcement of the great event.was made through the angelic choir to simple shepherds as they were watching their flock by night. It was made to shepherds, while they were engaged in their work, ancl not to the proud or mighty of the earth, and the harmony i« the music was soul inspiring and created great joy and confidence. 1 In harmony therewith was the song of Mary the Mother, "The Magnificat"; and the song of Zacharias, "Benedictus"; the song of the.Heaven Iyi Choir, "Gloria in Excelsis," and the song of Simeon, "Nune Dirnittis"—all suggesting the spirit of the great event.

Defeatism is the worst of all philosophies. This country has always had its ups and downs—its black patches and its bright—like every other country that ever was or ever will be. Life is like that, both nationally and individually. It is not a perpetual school-treat or garden-party. It is'a tug-of-war witli circumstance, in which sometimes the pull is with us ancl sometimes against us. Our history is peppered with periods when the country seemed going to the clogs and good people were in despair about the future.

Bible students say Thursday is the 1930th of the birth of the founder of Christianity. It was not in the year one (1) of the Christian era, but in the calendar year six (G) B.C., it is now believed, that: While shepherds watched their Hocks by night, All seated on the ground, The angel of the Lord came down, And glory shone around. "Fear not," said he (for mighty dread Had seized their troubled mind): ■'Glad tidings of great joy 1 bring- To you and all mankind." :|: t t There is an ancient tradition that during the hours before sunrise on Christmas morning, certain animals are endowed with power of speech. And Shakespere, in the first scene of "Hamlet," has referred to another somewhat similar tradition, with regard to the crowing of a rooster at dawn. t t t THE modern word "Christmas" is taken from the old English word ."Cristesmesse," Christ Mass. The modern Dutch word ^'Kerstmisse" shows a similar meaning!.. In France, Christmas is colled "Npel," coming from the Latin "Dies Natalis," natal day. The word in German is "Weih- nacht-sfest,"' taken from the preceding sacred vigil. Incidentally—about the use of that j word "merry" in the Christinas greeting:^ ■ I have heard people declare, on ac- casion, that it "did not seem appropriate! to wish a Merry Christmas to persons in sickness 'or sorrow."

If there are any exceptions they are to be found in small countries like Denmark, Holland and Sweden, which are happily outside the rivalries . and armaments of the great Powers. So much for the general, outlook, which I take only in order to get this question in the right perspective. Not until we realize the plain fact that to all our European contemporaries we are, with all our misfortunes, the most enivable-nation today can we understand that this is not a time for despair, but a time for confidence and resolution. Sees a Silver Lining Let us take a nearer view of our own situation. Again, I wish to avoid any flatulent optimism. If there is a thing I loathe more than pessimism it is the other 'ism. What I want is to see things and tendencies as they are, and if I lay emphasis on the silver lining, it is not., because I am hot aware of the black cloud, but because I know that the cloud will pass ancl ■ the sun will duly reappear.

Foreign Countries To Show Rabbits from foreign countries will be shown, many worth $125 or more. A rabbit banquet" will be held on the evening of Jan. 1 in Bender's cafeteria in Canton.

It was probably in the following year ,that he composed his remarkable "Cantico del Sole" (Song of the Sun), also sometimes called "Song of the Creatures." This was (10 years before Dante, and St. Francis thus early was turning his sweet Italian tongue to the uses of song. Another figure T like to associate \vith Christmas is that of Phillips Brooks, the world renowned bishop of the American Protestant Episcopal Church. It was in Philadelphia that he wrote for a Christmas festival those lines beginning, "O little town of Bethlehem!" which link him peculiarly with this day. And then there is the side of Christmas day, not inconsistent with its deeper meaning, the side of good cheer, of merriment, ancl of the human touch of sympathy, so well interpreted by Washington Irving and by Dickens. Their books are'apt to be among our chosen companions on this day, and we welcome their figures to our thoughts. • WATER TOWER New Estimate Reduces the Cost SH.OOO, Says Engineer. The proposed water tower to hold 200,000 gallons was discussed by Council on Monday night. Engineer Roscoe M. Rice, at the request of the Water Board, submitted an estimate and the cost will be $20,000, a reduction of $6,000 from the original estimate. This reduction is due to the fact that the new tower will be erected at the pumping station, thus eliminating extra pipe/ and extra labor. It will be "just hooked in," "said one member. The new tower cannot be financed until after the first of the year. It Was at the suggestion of the Ohio Bureau that negotiations were entered into for a new tank. It was either more water or increased insurance rates, so the village offiicals wisely decided to take the water.

"'Very nice,' murmured- his dad. 'Now be a good boy and put the stocking in the trumpet.'" Here's Hoping All Children Have a Happy Christmas.

Defeatism is the worst of all philosophies. This country has always had its ups and downs—its black patches and its bright—like every other country that ever was or ever will be. Life is like that, both nationally and individually. It is not a perpetual school-treat or garden-party. It is'a tug-of-war witli circumstance, in which sometimes the pull is with us ancl sometimes against us. Our history is peppered with periods when the country seemed going to the clogs and good people were in despair about the future.

Bible students say Thursday is the 1930th of the birth of the founder of Christianity. It was not in the year one (1) of the Christian era, but in the calendar year six (G) B.C., it is now believed, that: While shepherds watched their Hocks by night, All seated on the ground, The angel of the Lord came down, And glory shone around. "Fear not," said he (for mighty dread Had seized their troubled mind): ■'Glad tidings of great joy 1 bring- To you and all mankind." :|: t t There is an ancient tradition that during the hours before sunrise on Christmas morning, certain animals are endowed with power of speech. And Shakespere, in the first scene of "Hamlet," has referred to another somewhat similar tradition, with regard to the crowing of a rooster at dawn. t t t THE modern word "Christmas" is taken from the old English word ."Cristesmesse," Christ Mass. The modern Dutch word ^'Kerstmisse" shows a similar meaning!.. In France, Christmas is colled "Npel," coming from the Latin "Dies Natalis," natal day. The word in German is "Weih- nacht-sfest,"' taken from the preceding sacred vigil. Incidentally—about the use of that j word "merry" in the Christinas greeting:^ ■ I have heard people declare, on ac- casion, that it "did not seem appropriate! to wish a Merry Christmas to persons in sickness 'or sorrow."

If there are any exceptions they are to be found in small countries like Denmark, Holland and Sweden, which are happily outside the rivalries . and armaments of the great Powers. So much for the general, outlook, which I take only in order to get this question in the right perspective. Not until we realize the plain fact that to all our European contemporaries we are, with all our misfortunes, the most enivable-nation today can we understand that this is not a time for despair, but a time for confidence and resolution. Sees a Silver Lining Let us take a nearer view of our own situation. Again, I wish to avoid any flatulent optimism. If there is a thing I loathe more than pessimism it is the other 'ism. What I want is to see things and tendencies as they are, and if I lay emphasis on the silver lining, it is not., because I am hot aware of the black cloud, but because I know that the cloud will pass ancl ■ the sun will duly reappear.

It was probably in the following year ,that he composed his remarkable "Cantico del Sole" (Song of the Sun), also sometimes called "Song of the Creatures." This was (10 years before Dante, and St. Francis thus early was turning his sweet Italian tongue to the uses of song. Another figure T like to associate \vith Christmas is that of Phillips Brooks, the world renowned bishop of the American Protestant Episcopal Church. It was in Philadelphia that he wrote for a Christmas festival those lines beginning, "O little town of Bethlehem!" which link him peculiarly with this day. And then there is the side of Christmas day, not inconsistent with its deeper meaning, the side of good cheer, of merriment, ancl of the human touch of sympathy, so well interpreted by Washington Irving and by Dickens. Their books are'apt to be among our chosen companions on this day, and we welcome their figures to our thoughts. • WATER TOWER New Estimate Reduces the Cost SH.OOO, Says Engineer. The proposed water tower to hold 200,000 gallons was discussed by Council on Monday night. Engineer Roscoe M. Rice, at the request of the Water Board, submitted an estimate and the cost will be $20,000, a reduction of $6,000 from the original estimate. This reduction is due to the fact that the new tower will be erected at the pumping station, thus eliminating extra pipe/ and extra labor. It will be "just hooked in," "said one member. The new tower cannot be financed until after the first of the year. It Was at the suggestion of the Ohio Bureau that negotiations were entered into for a new tank. It was either more water or increased insurance rates, so the village offiicals wisely decided to take the water. |
