HE SEATTLE STAR Baa Paces Peni net ally W7 ‘Phe ar pouianiag Bo Mall, out of alts, 30 cents per month up to six mont 17 e best Christmas sermon the Loan ever heard ‘ the first. It was short and simple: — “GLORY TO GOD IN hgh an ‘i ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD W! t And the child whose birth those words heralded ame among men to preach that simple gospel. Theologians have with a strange and perverse Blindness obscured and darkened the appealing beauty and simplicity of that divine message. Jesus went up and down the world holding out hands of love and peace in benediction upon ity, saying, in his tender compassion, “Let us one another.” And because his words were so simple, so under- the world has clung to Him through ages of and doubt and disputation. More and more the Christ spirit triumphs among and it triumphs because it is the spirit of perfect ae It takes no scholar to grasp that spirit. Every heart has felt some measure of the love that for human brotherhood; there is none who can- understand what “peace, good will toward men” Only as that spirit of love works its way among t touching them to new kindness, to mercy, to can Christmas really be celebrated in the world. Whosoever has hated his human brother, whoso- ‘ever, high or low, has wrought against his fellow, who- “The Very Thing | Wanted!’’ It is one of the sacred little white lies of life—and if is told Christmas morn in the gray dawn of the morning after the for concrete expression of remembrance ends, perhaps, the last-minute midnight trip through the looted aisles of the department store. The receiver smiles to the donor and says: “THE VERY THING I WANTED!” Mayhg it's true. In many, many cases—thanks to the iscience and prevision of love and thoughtfulness—it is But if it isn’t true? Well, even then, let us not blame the little, loving fib that will be uttered on Christmas morning by millions: “The very te, oe wanted.” Not every deviation from truth, let us for this one day per- 3 ourselves, is entered upon the Unalterable Records 4 ist us. Let us hope that the same thing will happen as hap- to “My Uncle Toby's” oath; “The Accusing Angel flew up to Heaven's chancery with fhe oath, and blushed as he gave it in; and the Recording Angel sing wrote it down, dropped a tear upon the page and blotted it} forever.” $o let it be this Christmas with the honest mendacity of the that say: “The very thing I wanted!” To say the other oe would. be to tell the lie—for that would be to lack in love, |. and such a lack is always the real perfidy. * Casuistry? Avaunt, ye stern puritan logicians! one day, for all ye can say, the lie is the truth. For the thing we want is after all no more than an evidence that the spirit of Christmastide has ruled the household, and the family, and the circle of friends. That is the great thing of all this hectic stress, so full of pathos and of pain and For this The thing the world wants most is Love Compromising With Her _ Equal suffrage California's legislature finds it necessary to still further muss with women’s affairs and if the reader hears & yell and a large, dull thud it’s that body of statesmen hitting} «the floor, or the ceiling. ‘The new election laws required women would-be voters to state their exact ages and the recording of any scars or deformi ties they bore, for purposes of identification. Promptly upon assembling the senate committee on elec- arg was put on the gridiron. So long woman was 21 years id, it was nobody's business how much older she was, If a woman had a mole on her nose or 11 front teeth missing, or a Swen on her forehead, it was nothing less than mean masculine tyranny to make an account of it for the public record, and when women got to making laws there'd be one requiring men voters to declare their scars, sins and other blemishes, with a picture thrown in to avoid mistakes. Gee! but that made the old elec- * tion committce shake in its senatorial moccasins. If you can’t lick a woman, compromise with her, and so those senators refused to back down on the age issue but agreed that woman need not exhibit her scars, since she might be iden- tified by color of eyes and complexion. The thing may possibly work satisfactorily. Election offi- cers must not look too long into their eyes and must not wet their thumbs in their mouths and try to rub off the complexions But we're duty bound to put emphasis on the fact that it’s a compromise. Will some kind reader please send in a photo raph of a woman who set her heart on a thing and then com- mised without leaving the male party precariously hanging the situation by his eyebrows? The thing we all want is Love. | y | Observations “FLAT-FOOT GLIDE” is the latest New York dance. looks better than it sounds. Maybe it} a: 0.50 HARRY B.
