For 'Christmas brings a pause, a breathing spell, in the spinning gyrations of human ambition and human striving. At Christmas time the voices of kings and of captains sound, somehow, less strident; the flags of nations flaunt, somehow, less defiantly; and men everywhere see the brother rather than the wolf In their neighbors. That is because at Christmas time we walk not by sight, but by faith the faith which the poet describes as "a higher faculty than reason," and the apostle as "the substance of things hoped for." It is because Christmas comes as an annual, and to a wearied world a welcome, reminder that something infinitely greater, infinitely wiser than human reason keeps us from wandering too far from the path. And at Christmas we remember, too, that Faith without Works is dead. The spirit of giving, which began under an ancient star still shining in the hearts of men, is an expression of that conviction. At Christmas all worldly Joys are subordinated to the one joy of kindnessincluding that outpouring of fellowship and sympathy in which the poorest can share as lavishly as the rich. This, too, brings peace the peace within, which makes us realize . . . That "sometimes, through the Soul of Man, Slow moving o'er his pain, The moonlight of a perfect peace Floods heart and brain." In this way comes Christmas. Very interesting is the proposal of the directors of the National Retail Dry Goods Association for a voluntary agreement among merchants, similar in many ways to the NRA which was outlawed by the Supreme Court. It is said to provide for minimum wage schedules, maximum hours, good working conditions honest labeling and elimination of advertising abuses. On the whole, such things as these are probably wanted by most people in most business groups. The question is not so much about principles as methods Business men nearly all want decent trade practices, Jocile Webb Pearson giving everybody a fair chance, so that the rewards JONES adored his big will go to superior energy, intelligence and service r brother, Jim had been boy scout before going to col rather than superior cunning and exploitation of J and to be a scout like Jim lege labor. was Billie's one ambition.
