It is a seemingly ironic comment on humanity that twenty centuries after the message of “Peace on Earth and Good Will toward men” that Christmas Day, 1914, should find a battlefield the centre of the world’s stage in both hemispheres. Not that the sword more. barbaric and cruel than the eoward’s kiss, nor that the earth is a scene of peace, even when there are no battlefields to drain it of its human blood. The es of every rich and prosperous state—cruelties which is cruelti seem to be a part of its richness and prosperity—are greater than the cruelties of war. Even the deeth toll on the railways of a neighboring country, chargeable for the most part to a greed for profits that counts it cheaper to pay for human blood than to protect life, was greater last year than the death toll in Britain's last great war. Beneath the beauty and repose of Nature, the scientist dis- covers “Nature red in tooth and claw.” All life is a struggle, and the mere incident of an armed clash in China or Tripoli counts but little in the great aggregate of conflict that forever PAPERHANGING —AND— HIGH CLASS A Heroine—in Homespun.

They merely hugged and kissed one another.” G. R. NADEN COMPANY Limited. Prince Rupert, B.C. Some fellows are afraid to nail a lie because they are not mem- bers of the Carpenters’ Union. Second Ave., has been the lot of the dwellers on earth’s surface. A bloodstained field in Ghina and another in Tripoli do not necessarily imply that the world not advancing to a stage where the angels’ song can better be realised. There can be no hallowed peace where justice is not, and one battlefield at least, despite the mists of passion and human hate that surround it, an object for the peace angels to rejoice at than weep over, Life is a struggle—for the most part a struggle for economic existence. Out of that struggle comes progress. Clearly born from it is our own city and community of Prince Rupert. For a real ground of Christmas rejoicing anyone of us might well Is is more give thanks that we are here in the land of great opportunities, | where every man is as good as his neighbor, and life offers a chance to all. Twenty centuries after the angels’ message does not find the millenium here, but it does find the world immensely quick- ened in its sense of justice and love for its neighbor. Man who has not yet ridden his body of the rudiments of claws and tail has not yet ridden his heart of the fierce hate and passion of the beast. But at least he divides that latter habitation with an angel at times, and enables the poet of today to bid the Christ- mas chimes “Ring out a slowly dying cause” And ancient forms of party strife; Ring in the nobler modes of life With sweeter manners, purer laws. Ring in the valiant man and free, The larger heart, the kindlier hand; Ring out the darkness of the land, Ring in the Christ that is to be.’ XMAS GIFTS FOR ALL AT CAMERON’S — Silver photo frames, silver military brushes, silver tea strainers, cologne bottles, silver depos cream and sugars. 1a Jewelry Gifts—Rings, diamonds, pearls, ruby and pearl, opals, diamond and pear! brooches, solid gold necklets, cuff links.
