Already Ju many, especially school children, in have begun to count the days Br and weeks intervening and to of make plans for the celebration Tu of the greatest day in all the err year. There is a right way and (tor a wrong way to celebrate Christ- NV: mas, and, unfortunately, too many of us are guilty of observj 0 5 the day in the latter manner. "V It is really a r. flection on our riliza'ion to celebrate the memy ot the birth ot Christ by rniug powder and drinking Cj [uor, as is the general custom roughout this country. It is 1 I right and proper to rejoice in luiet and orderly manner,-to ike special gifts and to extend * eeliugs and hospitalities to a r friends and neighbors, b it t( is an offense against both God d man to indulge in excesses ^ any kind, especially in drink- '' g and carousing. If a man feels H at he must at least once a year " baucli himself and discharge a ? t of noisy fire-crackers, let him 11 that kind of a stunt on the v ilorious Fourth"?never on e anniversary ot the nativity ot irist. There are no doubt many per ' ns now thinking of sending off a r their "Christmas jugs."
