U., No. 767 | America’s Christmas Never Before Has It Been So Far Reaching BACK in a niche of time when a quarrelsome world was momen- tarily at peace, there was born one whom the world delights to call the Prince of Peace, because he taught the brotherhood of man. For ‘nearly two thousand years that day has been cele- brated by unselfish, giving throughout all Christendom, inthonédr and .memory of Him who gave his life for the good of mankind, and who taught that “greater love hath no man. than-this, that he lay down -his life:for his friends.” By the parable of thé: good Samaritan He also taught us to.go out of our way to be neigh- berly to'and- help the needy, take in and care for them who have been robbed by the wayside. “His life and His teachings all influenced His followers to be unselfish, helpful, gen- erous, kind, and truthful. And he warned against the wolf in sheep’s clothing. ss A counterfeit emphasizes the fact that the genuine-has great value, be ita coun- terfeit coin, product, or character.’ None of the Christian virtues is any the less valuable because a nation has deliberately and with malicious intent, clothed a most degraded and brutalizing national thought in a cloak of Christian phraseology. Nor is the Christian spirit obliterated by the horrors of war when that war was fought to bring peace on earth, good will to men; fought that truth may have a chance to triumph over error and ‘deceit; fought that right may conquer’ might; fought that the selfish, greedy, brutal, bigoted and deceitful believers in the di- vine right of kings may be disarmed and punished for this world catastrophy. America exemplifies the Christmas spir- it by giving with no thought of gain. Each soldier and sailor who has joined the colors is willing to give-his all, not alone for his friends, but for those whom he doés not know, whose language he does not under- stand, knowing that they cannot give him anything in return but gratitude. It is the same spirit that has prompted every. mother and father, every wife and sweetheart to give their beloved to a cause which will make it possible for the Christ- mas bells to ring out the glad tidings of great joy. : The sacrifices of America’s mothers that the mothers and children of devastated - France and ravished' Belgium may again be free are but the full fruits of that love which prompts the young mother to fill the Christmas trée with the trinkets that_ little children enjoy, knowing that-they cannot repay except in the happiness they show. } : All America has learned the great truth —it is mbre blessed to give Man to re- ceive. Selfishness and thoughtlessness into your observance of the day. The Tribune wishes at this time.to extend a Merry Christmas and Happy New | Year to all its readers, thanking them and its patrons for their support a sions of good will during the year that is drawing to a close. ee Se UU es — , : have been largely washed out of our nationaltife by the blood of our crusaders. It is another ease of each one suffering or dying for many. Never has the Christmas spirit so permeated our national and individual lives as now. The good Sx:aritan did not stop at merely placing the’ wounded and robbed stranger upon his beast and taking him to a hotel. He paid the hotel bill in ad- vance and promised to pay so long as the stranger needed caré. America. was: not content with pouring a little ointment up- on the wounds of robbed nations. She has helfed catch the robbed, and now stands willing to’ pay the bill, to stay on the job until just punishment is meted out to that robber, and séé that restoration is guar- anteed. This is going the good Samaritan one better. It is the fulness of the teach- ings of Him whose birthday we celebrate: Our government gives our soldiers and sailors everything they need while in the service, so it leaves little we can do for them directly, except. send them each the one package allowed, and assure them by frequent letters that we. are keeping the home fires burning. Indirectly we can do much for them in freely“supporting the various organized ‘efforts such as. the United War Fund, Red Cross and others. In this way we can give them some of the comforts they have left at home; some of the entertainments they so much enjoy; some of the moral safeguards that they will. need now more than ever since re- lieved from the stress of fighting. , But let.us not forget that while we are enjoying all the comforts we ever enjoyed, - hundreds of thousands of women, children, and old men, who have been driven from their hoves, have nothing—no home but a heap of ruins, no clothes but a few rags, no food but a bowl of thin soup once a day. Compared with giving to them the barest necessities of life, the lavishing of useless gifts upon friends, who are not in need of them, seems empty. f “The first Christmas was made joyful by the bringing of the glad tidings that a Savior had come. Out of our abundance we Americans can be saviors of many of the stricken people of war torn Belgium and France, if we will but exemplify the spirit of Him whose birthday is celebrated. To those people our partly: worn clothes would be a great gift. The Red Cross will receive. them. ‘ Above the joy that comes because our boys will no longer have to face the deadly bullets, gas, and shells, and spend the win- ter in the unspeakable trenches, our hearts are filled to overflowing with sat- isfaction because right, justice, and free- dom have triumphed. , Once more it is fitting that the angels shall sing, “Glory to God-in the’ highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” - i / IVEATOAEONVOGRHAUAUCUAUAATEEAOOETARAR AGUA AE HNVOUNESOOUASUOAGEUEEGEUPRGAEAGAOEUGALUAL i SUT 2 SL ck a These are fine sentiments for Christmas.
