BELLS
• Bells have a history: the
Bible tells
That Aaron’s robe was trim-
med with golden bells.
The ancient Romans heard the
' silver chime
Of water clocks they used to
measure1 time.
In hours of tumult, bells have
pealed alarms;
In time of war, have summon-
ed men to arms.
A ringing bel Ihas made a poet
say:
“The curfew tolls the knell of
parting day.”
Church bells have a magic all
their own,
A rare, persuasive music in
their tone,
As if, with tongues of steel,
they try to tell
A war-torn world that all is
well ... is well!
— Vaida Stewart Montgomery
in Kaleidograph.

PATRIOTIC ESKIMOS
• The temperature may be 30
below and walrus hunting may
be a trying ordeal but Alaska’s
Eskimos are not only raising
Red Cross funds, sending men
into the armed services, and
standing watch as air raid spot-
ters, but they are 10 percent-
ers, too. A school teacher re-
cently evacuated from the Aleu-
tian Islands reports that the
Eskimos are setting aside a part
of their income for war bonds.

CALVIN COOLIDGE SAID—
spending more time than usual
in crowded public places.
Remember that most adults
need eight hours of sleep out
of every 24, and children need
more, according to their age.
If a late evening party is in
prospect, it is a good odea to
get a nap before the party. One
health authority says it is bet-
ter to store up sleep in advance
than to try to make up the lost
hours after the party.
The Christmas cakes, candies
and other goodies, harmless
enough in themselves, are like-
ly to tempt many of us into
overeating, or into between-
meal nibbling which spoils the
appetite for proper meals. Dia-
betics and others on special
diets for health reasons must
that we derive our reverence
for truth and justice, for equal-
ity and liberty, and for the
rights of mankind. Unless the
people believe in these princi-
ples, they cannot believe in our
government. There are only two
main theories of government in
the world. One rests on righ-
teousness ; the other rests on
force.
During Holidays
• The joyousness of
ed. Finally,
in the maelstrom of world events old
standards are swept away. Pausing on
the brink of 1943 we would nevertheless
like to wish our friends a good old-fash-
ioned New Year and the hope that it may
bring world peace.

which the scepter would be held
by “a holy king, a prince of
peace ... to rule over all the
nations of the earth during all
time.”
Thus it is a prophecy that
concerns greater lands than
Judea; perhaps greater even
than those known to the wise
men of today.
Herod, graceful in the talent
of transferring allegiances,' lis-
tened to these words. Thereaf-
ter he granted the wise men an
audience.
“Go and search diligently
for the young child,” said he.
“When ye have found him
bring me word again, that I
may come and worship him
also.”
n
of Juda, art not the least among
the princes of Juda, for out of
thee shall come a governor that
shall rule my people, Israel.”
Messengers from Bethlehem
brought tidings of the events
there to the king and mean-
while three wise men from the
East had arrived, saying:
“Where is he that is born king
of the Jews? For we have seen
his star and are come to wor-
ship him.”
Herod was’greatly disturbed,
his mind already having been
tortured by the intrigues and
conspiracies of his court. These
he thought he had ended for-
ever through the executions of
his beautiful wife, Marianne,
and his two sons, Alexander
and Aristobulus; and the jail-
ing of a third son, Antipater,
on the charge he was plotting
to poison his father.
Hillel Offers Counsel
The gentle Hillel, president
of the sanhedrin, counseled the
king in a lengthy, private ses-
sion. Undoubtedly he recalled
to the king’s notice the prop-
hecy of the Judaean poet that
a new kingdom is at hand in
SHEPHERDS DISCLOSE
MESSAGE
GIVEN THEM
(The First Christmas).
—The shepherds made
known today the sayings
that were told to them con-
cerning the Christ child
and the sign that was giv-
en them to recognize him
in an humble manger of
the grotto in which he was
born to Mary of Nazareth.
They repeated the fol-
lowing :
“Ye shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling
clothes, lying in a manger.
“For unto you is born
this day in the City of
David a Savior, which is
Christ the Lord.
“Glory to God in the
highest and on earth
peace, good will toward
men.”
A Helping Hand I
• When Colonel James R. Hos-
mer was a young and inex- *
perienced attorney practicing
his profession in Illinois he was
given his first important case, j
and with considerable trepida- ’
tion approached the day of its j
trial. His fears that he would * |
not be able to keep his evi-
dence in order were soon real-
ized for scarcely had the trial
begun than he found himself
enmeshed in a mass of intri-
cate details. Suddenly he felt a
hand on his shoulder and heard g
a kindly voice saying, “Young
man, I have handled cases like
this in the past. Let us see if I
can’t help you out.” The speak-
er then seated himself beside
the young attorney and coach-
ed him along to victory.
The man who offered the
first, that in the year of
Christ’s birth Venus was par-
ticularly brilliant at the time
when he is said to have been
laid in the manger. Venus was
brighter then than this year,
due to a more favorable posi-
tion in her orbit with respect
to earth.
Second, the Venus seem from
the United States never com-
pares with the brilliance of this
same star in the lattitude of
Galilee.
There she is so brilliant that
her light casts a wake on the
water, the same as the moon.
Even when the moon is up,
Venus cases a wake, at Fitz-
gerald says it is a rare treat to
see these two celestial bodies in
the same part of the sky cast-
ing parallel wakes over the
ocean.
Other explanations of the
star which the magi followed
to find Christ are a comet and
a nova. If it was a comet, then
that comet has not since reap-
peared, for comets’ comings can
be traced both into the future
and into the past if they appear
more than once.
A nova is literally a new
star, caused by an explosion of
gases big enough to engulf the
entire solar system. The ex-
plosions occur in old stars, and
sometimes in stars too faint to
be seen normally with the nak-
ed eye. A nova appears only
once; hence there would be no
astronomical record, other than
the tale of the wise men.
A conjunction of two or more
planets—that is, apparent over-
lapping in the sky of these
stars—is another explanation.
But none of these star gather-
ings came nearer than six years
to the date of Christ’s birth.

• Jericho, Dec. 25. — (The
First Christmas). — The Mes-
siah, whose coming long has
been prophesied, was born ear-
ly today in Bethlehem.
He comes of humble parent-
age, Joseph and Mary of Naz-
areth, but nevertheless of King
David’s lineage.
Reports from Bethlehem, that
he is no ordinary king, but a
great Savior, were confirmed
by the chief priests of the San-
hedrin who were summoned in-
to extraordinary session early
today by King Herod.
“Where?” Asks King Herod1
“If it is true, as these re-
ports say, that the Messiah has
come, where is it that he would
be born?” demanded the king
of the learned men.
“In Bethlehem of Judea,”
they said to him. “For thus it is
written by the prophet: And
thou, Bethlehem, in the land
tribulation, but never-
theless, many good
things have come our
way. Chief among
them is your continu-
ed patronage, for
which we thank you
very earnestly now,
and wish you a very
MERRY CHRISTMAS
