And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were ac complished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room foe than in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrap ped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the hea venly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. And It came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the say ing which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard it wondered at these things which wore told them by the shepherds.

LINCOLN — While visiting a<$ friend, who has been on a bed of affliction for many weeks, a group of young people came in. The object of their visit was to bring to that afflicted one a lit tle cheer in song and violin mu sic. i After a number of selections (! erne of their number, a yoimg man. offered a short prayer to invoke divine oare for the sick. With words of cheer and a number of the group grasping the hand of my friend in bed they departed, leaving in that room the radi ance of youth Romaine who find a Saunders greater plea sure in bringing a bit of sunshine into dreary lives than following the giddy round of the social whirL They visit jails, the penitenti ary, and wherever there are found the lonely s'lUtins. Young man, young woman, do you want a thrill? You will find it in glowing lustre in such ser vice to humanity. • * • The advice of a 105-year-old grandma over in Omaha is worth more than all the clatter of the highbrows. She says: ‘Take things as they come and be cheer ful.” .. A Hollywood notable not yet 30 is taking his third-mate to divorce court . . .

Across dome above a trail of j smoky haze has formed. Leaves I so lately sheathed in autumn j tints now lie crumpled and brow'n upon the ground. A dreary winter is heard a mong the bare branches as the winds goes sweeping by, a drea ry sound where so lately cardin al and thrush poured forth their morning song. Fields that short weeks ago were clothed in syl van green now lie desolate and bare. Frost has chilled the earth, winter lays a remorseless hand upon prairie Land. And so the ever changing sea son writes upon the scroll of years the lessons of our lives; budding springtime of childhood, the radiant summer sheen of youth, autumn tints af later years, and autumn fades into now-ciowned days of venerable rage. * * • A national figure in the Sons of the American Revolution, in an address in Lincoln, crack ed down on the one-world gov ernment idea over which the delegates at Lake Success are wasting time. Patriotic organ izations are definitely opposed 1 to wh a t George Washington warned against, "entanglement in foreign alliances." With something like this in view congress takes a hand in the Truman Attlee conference. • • • If you are an average 70-year old you have eaten 50 acres af fruits, and vegetables, 26 acres of grain, 2,400 chickens, 150 head of cattle, 251 sheep and 310 pigs, and drank the Elkhom river dry. holiday is being observed 71 days during the year. Nebraska and Idaho each can muster eight special days, while Texas has 17 of them. A patriot down at Wahoo ] discounts the idea of straigh- | tening creek and river channels to control floods, and says it can be done by "retaining wat er at its source." We invite him up here to see hew the pion- I eers did it when the Elkhorn took a notion to spread out a mile or so. And as the "source" of flood waters on prairieland is the sky overloaded with moisture it would be interest ing to know how the gentle man at Wahoo expects to cork up the clouds. • • • Scientists and educators, statesmen and soldiers, profes- , sionals and amateurs, churchmen and agnostics, and most of the resit of us have become shallow in our thinking, occupied with trifles.
