"PRACTICAL" ILLUSTRATION
OF RELIEF READINESS
Will Hold Enteitainment.
There will be a Christmas party
and program at the auditorium of
the Murdock high school on Wednes
day of this week with a very appro
priate program for the enteitainment
beginning at 7:30. Better be there
with the kiddies and see that they
all have a good time for you know
that Christmas comes but once a year.
Christmas Program and Service.
A special Christmas Eve program
by the children of Trinity Lutheran
church, two miles north of Murdock.
will be given at the church on Wed
nesday evening. December 24. begin

Of the truth that none can fore
cast where disaster will next strike,
so often repeated in speaking of the
need of preparedness of Red Cross,
nationally and locally, to answer
calls for help immediately. McCul
loch County in Texas had a genu
inely "practical" illustration. The
editor of the county seat newspaper,
the Brady Standard, in the issue of
Oct 21. wrote:
"In lat Friday's issue was publish
ed an editorial upon the Red Cross
and its ever-ready service in time of
disaster. That editorial was written
for publication before the Hood was
ever dreamed of. but it was crowded
out from issue to issue. When it was
finally published last Friday the very
service afforded by the Red Cress -described
in the article, had already
been performed. Look up la;! Fri
day's Standard and read the article
again then recall it was written
before the flood, and judge for your
self whether or not the Red Cross
made good in every way."
But Brady itself was efficient and
practical, its business men giving
without stint to the 250 persons
i needing emergency relief, the city
'contributing also $1,416 to the re
lief fund. $0,259 coming from out
iside the flood area total $4,675. al
jmcst matching the $T.0f'0 appropria
tion from National Headquarters.
(And. speaking with the knowledge
jof experience. Chapter Chairman A.
H Broad wrote: "If all people really
I knew, as do we who have been visit

Cross, the Roll Call wuuld be no'
(much of an effort. We feel now that

Quotation from J. Madanrin, for
Christmas reading.
His birth was mean on earth be
low; but it was celebrated with halle
lujahs by the h- verily host in the
air above. He had a poor lodging;
but a star lighted visitants to it from
distant countries. Never prince had
such visitants so conducted. He had
not the magnificent equipage that
other Kings have but he was attend
ed with multitudes of patients, seek
ing and obtaining healing of soul and
body; that was more true greatness
than if He had been attended with
crowds of princes. He made the
dumb that attended Him sing His
praises, and the lame lap for joy. the
deaf to hear His wonders, and the
blind to see His glory. He had no
guard of soldiers, nor magnificent re
tinue of servants: but as the can-
it Ulion that had both acknowledged!
health and sickness, life and death,
took orders from Him. Even the!
winds and storms which no earthly
power can control, obeyed Him; and
death and the grave didst not refuse
to deliver up their preywhen He de- ,
"manded it. He did not walk upon j
tapestry; but when Ho walked on
the sea. the water supported Him.
All parts of creation, excepting
sinful men honored Him as their Cre
ator He kept no treasure; hut. when
He had occasion for money, the sea i
sent it to Him in the mouth of a Dsn.
He had no barns and cornfields, but
when He inclined to make a feast, a
few loaves covered a sufficient table
for many thousands. None of all the
monarchs of the world ever gave such
entertainment.
By these and many such things.
