Some people’s main objection to a
bath is that it has to be repeated
too often.

CHRISTMAS GIVING
Gift giving at Christmas is, or
ought to be, nothing more than ji
manifestation of the Christmas spirit,
which is unselfish, seeking only to
make others happy wi f h no thought of
the return.
The real Christmas giving spirit is
to bring joy, comfort, benefit to those
who expect nothing, who have noth
ing in return save gratitude, and who j
as a rule are neglected or overlooked.
Just to exchange token's or parcels
with a set of friends who in return
will respond in a like manner, falls
too far short of the Christmas spirit
and places it on the most sordid,
speculative and selfish grotmds.
A good thing to give a man for
Christmas is an ash tray that will be
where he wants it and when Ee needs
it. • •
Rev. J. E. Mahaffey, who several

We are pleased to hear that our
Baptist brethren will shortly begin the
election of a modern and up-to-date
church building. It will be provided
with Sunday School rooms and modern
church requirements. The Baptist
church is doing much toward main
taining the cause of truth and righte
ousness in the town of Clinton.
If you want a job. we resnectfully
refer you to this advertisement we
saw in a paper yesterday: ‘ Wanted—
two ladies to wash dishes and one

Christmas is here with its gift
problem. Just give dad some socks
and he’ll never know the difference.
Don’t stuff so much on Christmas
day that you’ll get sick and not be
able to enjoy New Year’s dinner.
INTELLIGENT SALESPEOPLE
The idea prevails among some young
persons, that anyone can do the work
of “clerking” in a store. Hence com
plaints are made in many places, par
ticularly the larger cities, that the
salespeople do not show general intel
ligence in serving the public.
A woman’s club worker recently
took a position in a big city store in
order to investigate the conditions in
this occupation, and a customer re
marked to her, “You are the first
intelligent clerk I have seen recently.”
Young people desiring to take up this
occupation need general intelligence
quite as much as a stylish appear
ance.
Many of the recitations that always
accompany the Christmas exercises
would be extremely fine if anyone
could hear them.
Another appropriate gift for your
husband would be a pair of overalls
in which he can clean up the premises
that need to be cleaned.
How times change. The tralnps who
used to ask for h biscuit at the back
door, are now begging for a gallon ol
gas for the flivver.
PEACE ON EARTH
In contemplating the Christmas
thought, it should always be remem
bered that according to the tradition-
a 1 .story, the thing that the angels
sang about was “Peace on Earth.”
This was a reflection of the senti
ment and the suffering of those cruel
days, the realization that the thing
that human nature most longed for
was freedom from war and conflict.
Human nature has not changed so
very radically in all these years, and
still through our quarrelsome world,
the people ask for this relief from the
wickedness and folly of war. They
ask it not merely in international af
fairs, but they want to get rid of the
spirit of warfare in all their business
and industrial relations.
The Christmas message, then, is not
merely one of personal joy aqd friend
liness, but it is - a summons to the
people to stop their un-Christian con
flicts, and learn the ways of peace
and mutual cooperation. The angels
sang this message two thousand years
ago.
The people who question if educa
tion pays, should have their doubts
set at rest when they see the demand
for football tickets.
Under the present rules for Christ
mas shoppers, they are reminded that
holding, tackling, slugging, kicking
and spiking are not permitted.
Usually the woman who marries a
man for his money soon finds that
she married him for what she thoughi.
he had.
These may be hard tim^s all right,
but if a man pays his taxes and meets
all his interest payments, that is con
siderable proof that he has gone n
long ways toward making a lot of
money.

. Unfortunately our paper went to
press at the wrong time last month
tc give an account of the distressing
accident that resulted in the death of
Rev. C. A. B. Jennings. Brother Jen
nings was very intimately related to
the Thornwell Orphanage and his
death brought sorrow to our hearts.
There was a sad pleasure in seeing
how tenderly he was loved by his old
church at Union amf his later pastoral
charge at Reidvillc. The three orpnan
children of Mr. Jennings were mem
bers of the large party that brought
his remains to Clinton and all hearts
were melted by their sorrows. He
was laid to rest by the side of his
three brothers, Mr. William T. Jen
nings, who was buried the very day he
was to have bene received under the
care of Presbytery, Dr. J. Me. Jen-
■mgs, who had just finished his course
®f medical studies and received has
diploma, and Rev. Cornwell Jennings,
who had been for ten years pastor of Eyes Examined
the Wakeville church, Germantown, 1
Pa. These young men we»e all sta-
dests of the Thornwell Orphanage.
It is a grevious sorrow to us that
they were all cut down when every
thing semed to smile upon them and
to betoken great usefulness. They
were brilliant,young men. aa& we
pec ted great things of them.

DOING THE SHOPPING
If human nature were not what it is,
the Christmas season might not be one
of rush and worry over what to buy,
and sales forces in stores would not be
rushed to exhaustion in the two or
three weeks before the event. If peo
ple did their shopping when it could
be done under the least congested con
ditions, it might extend over months
instead of weeks, and it would be not
less seasonable.
However, none but the exceptional
person thinks of doing shopping until
it cannot be put off longer. Then it 1
becomes an ordeal and is so strenuous
that it tends to rob the season of the
“cheer and good will” that attach to it
sentimentally. The “good will” might
actually pervade the shoppers were
they not overworked trying to find
what they want and struggling to get
it. Yet’it would not be Christmas for
a lot of people were it otherwise.
They have become so accustomed to
waiting and then making a hurry-up
job of it that they would not feel right
were it done betimes.
Human nature is a peculiar thing
despite the fact that all of us have it.
It wouldn’t be human nature if it
wasn’t odd. If we did everything in
a reasonable and sane way we would
not be human beings. We would be
super-human and that is too much to
expect. It is the prerogative of hu
man beings to do as they please and
of course most of us please to delay
as long as we can the doing of what

Christmas offers every one in the family an opportunity to
gladden the hearts of others with Furniture Gifts that add a
touch of usefulness, beauty and comfort throughout the home.
The living room, naturally the center of attraction in the
home, should have the most careful consideration in the mat
ter of furnishings. Select the kind that pleases the eye and at
the same time satisfies the need for rest and recreation and
at no great cost. Perhaps, a new suite is not needed but only
a cabinet of fine workmanship, extra tables or charming
Windsor chairs or rugs. Whatever it is, see our store before
you buy.
