Their ustaiida | -were in the service 122 years ago and when they were old men married’ young ‘girls who got the pensions. The history of pension legislation in the United States has always been the same. At the clese of a war pensions have been granted to the widows of those killed, and te these vet- ‘erans injured in war serviee. In later years laws are passed which grant pensions to hundreds of thousands of veterans who injured— ; bonuses and other benefits ‘are given to all Veterans, simply because ‘they ‘had’ the ‘privitege of wearing the uniform.. This always works to the advantage of veterans asa class and to the disadvantage of de- serving veterans and of all citizens who ‘are not veterans,” The veterans’ lobby ‘is still working for' the immediate payment of the bonus which is not due till 1945, which was Presidents and which should never have been passed in the first place. The individual’ veteran, | unable to ‘make himself heard, is being disgraced by a potitical lobby which is trying te force ‘} the so-called: bonus: bill) and’ various: pen- sion bills, through Congress. These bills are vote-getting schemes for which the American nation will pay in ‘billions. of dollars for generations to‘come.

CHAPTER THE FIRST. MY Dear Children. : 1 am very anxious that you should know something about. the History of Jesus: Christ.. For everybody, ought to know about. Him. No one ever lived, who was so good, so kind, so gentle, and so sorry for all people who did wrong, or were in any way ill or miserable, as he was. And as he is now in Heaven, where we hope to go, and all to-‘meet each other after ‘we dre dead, and there be happy always together, you never can. think what a good place Heaven is, without knowing who he was and what he did. ee ee HE was born, a long long time ago—nearly Two-Thousand years ago—at-a place called Bethlehem. His father and mother lived im a City called Nazareth, but they were forced, by business to travel ‘to Bethlehem, His father’s name was Joseph, and his mother’s name was Mary. And the town being very full of people, also brought there by business, there was no room for Joseph and‘ Mary in the Inn or in any house; so they went’into a Stable to lodge; and in this stable Jesus Christ was born. There was no cradle or anything of that kind there, so Mary. laid her pretty little boy in what is called the Manger, which is the place the horses ‘eat out of. And there He fell asleep. _...While He was asleep, some Shepherds’ who . were watching sheep in the Fields, saw an Angel from God, all light and beautiful, come moving over the grass towards them, At first they were afraid’ and ‘fell down and hid their faces. But it said, “There is a Child born to-day in | the City of: Bethlehem near ‘here, who will grow: up te be so good that God will Jove Him as-His-own Son, and He will teach Men to love .one another, and not to quarrel or hurt — epeong Son His —_ will be Jésus Christ; people: will put that name in their. prayers, because they will know God loves it, and: will -know that they: should ‘love it, too.” And then the Angel told the Shep- herds:to go to that Stable, and look’at that little Child in the Manger, which they did; and they kneeled down by it in“its sleep, and said “Ged bless this Child!” s s = es NOW the great place of all that country was Jerusalem —just as London ‘is the great: plaee:in England— and. at: Jerusalem the King lived, whose: name: was: King Herod.
