They were not living for the present, but for the future. They could discount privation, because they saw a richer and happier time ahead of them. Well, thats true enough but cant we do the same? The finest thing that has happened to us in this last year is the fact that we have had a rebirth of national solidarity. We are all headed in the same direction once more. There is in the air that priceless feeling that the whole Country is working together for the common good. The vision that sustained the pioneers is coming back to us. .

DO YOU KNOW? These Curious Things The Chinese language is one of the most difficult to master. There are many ways of accenting simple words so that the written word is hard to define. The relations of words are ascertained by their position in a sentence. The written character does not indicate the sound of the word, merely giving a pictorial representation of the idea or thing to be expressed. Hence there are required as many characters as there are things to be expressed. The number of words represented by writing is perhaps 10 times that distinguished by ear. The number is recsoned at 50,000. And Shakespeart, with one of the finest vocabularies of all time used only 15,000 words! The ancients, not being able to understand fire, worshipped it. the practice coming down almost to our period of civilization, since only recently have isolated tribes m British India discarded this form of worship. In ancient history fire worshippers were called Zorastrains As early as 450 or Guebres. B. C. Herodotus said: The Persians think fire to be a god And. about 50 A. D,, Strabo said: to sacrifice "They particularly fire and water, playing dry wood on the fire, stripped of its bark, with fat thrown upon it. The natives of British India addressed fire in supplication, as if it could hear, bless, assist and These natives suffered deliver. great hardships at the hands of the Mohammedans, being persecuted for many centuries, gnd today fire worship in India is almost wiped out The moral code of the Arabs Is one of the highest in the entire world. When any woman of the tribe is found to be immoral she is immediately murdered, either by her father, her brothers, or her next nearest male relative. However, there is a great opd portunity for some man to buy her freedom, for it is the custom of the people that even tho she may be accused and about to be murdered by her own km, she may be saved by any man who offers to forgive her indiscretions and marry her. Should no man interfere she would undoubtedly be killed. custom same This prevails among other tribal peoples, particularly among some of thenative tribes of Africa and Thikind-hearte- . 36.

MAIL BVG C. C. S., ST. LOUIS, MISSIONARY IN GERMANY WRITES ' Schweidnitz Schles, Manfred von Richthofenstr, 1 Jan. 1, 1934. , Editor, Herald-Journa- l: For one whose Christmases have been his entire life long spent among his own people in joviality and pleasure, the first Christmas away from home in a foreign land, a foreign a language among strange people is extraordinarily different to experience. In the first place one must prepare himself to celebrate as the natives of the land celebrate. In Germany, although the Christian spirit prevails in its due respect to the Saviour and his teachings of brotherly love toward each other, Christmas is celebrated differently than at home. How precise and fast the memories of Christmas of previous years come back to me when on the eve of Christmas the celebrating the world over began. I sat with a family of five in a small candle lighted room as they sang appropriate told stories. songs and My thoughts were not concentrated upon what was going on about me. I was in thought In a little fraAne house in Logan encouraging the kiddies of my fathers family up stairs to bed. I could see the dining room table laden with various shaped packages, variously colored wrappings, and huge brown papet sacks of mixed nuts and candies. The family wag hurrying around in undertones arranging gifts around a lighted tree. Then I would be disturbed into realization of Uic fact that my associates were chattering Deutsch." Someone accused me of having Heim-wekin another land Living at the moment, yes, but being homesick, no, I would not admit that. We a mused ourselves until late then the Frau or the family who unnoticed had for a time been missing, appeared in the door to announce that the "Christkind" had paid her a visit in the kitchen hut had hurried along his way The youngsters began to shout for joy. Alright then, open the door all Into the kitchen! To be sure someone had been there. Had I been home I should have had to claim Santa himself had been there. Each received a meager gift. The family Is so very poor. But happiness? the spirit was there even if each person did not receive a bag of gold of his dreams Each was happy because the other was happy. After ail what worth has a Christmas without happiness? Earlier in the day I had spent in church. Upon returning to my rooms I found a stack of mail which galddened my heart to be remembered. A person realizes the value of a friend first when he Is away from him. I am thanktul to my many friends whose friendship is not altered m spite of several thousand miles distance. I am living in a massive villa of the "Baron von Ritchthofen. The RichBaronin gracious "Frau thofen has lost two sons in airplane accidents, one married, the most famous flyers of the late World war whose list of victorious air Rights amounted to eighty before he met his fate in combat, the other Lothar, who returned from the war with forty victories, only to be killed in a transport nlane accident after the war. Her husband, "Der alte Herr Baron von Richthofen died two years after the war. The only living Boiko von Rich son, "Baron thofen lives in Berlin, connected with governmental affairs. The Frau Baronin lives alone. The hospitality of this mother of heroes of war but victims of fate surpasses any I have as yet seen in Germany. She is a woman of breeding, coming from a line of noble, genuine Germans. She played St. Nick to us Showered us with nuts, candies, "Marzipan Kuchen, apples. I received a book entitled Der Rote Kampf-fiege- r, a book written by Manfred von Richthofen a short time before his death. It is particularly interesting to me because I have always been fascinated by airplanes. My companion received from the Baronin much the same as I with the exception of receiving a large framed picture of the Villa instead of a book. The Frau Baronm occasionally entertains us at dinner where she lavishes us with trer luxury, after which she tells us stories of her famous sons, husband and family. She speaks a little English which makes it all the more interesting. I enjoy my work fully. I also appreciate the honor of the privilege of living in the home of the most gracious German woman I have met over here. I shall always have fond memories of the villa on the Manfred von Richthof-enstrass- e in Schweidnitz. Hoping your holiday season has been as eventful and enjoyable as mine, and that we may continue our various work which we have undertaken to do, I am most thankfully, Your friend, William W.
