THE Yuletide brings people closer together; makes them
feel that intangible tie which binds them together regardless
of creed or nationality. It is a time when unselfishness flows
away from the heart and leaves it free to voice little kind-
nesses, mellows it to a sense of kinship as no other occasion
does.

Manners at the boys dorm might
at least be improved to the standards
cf common decency. Raking food off
another’s plate, jerking dishes of
food away from someone’s hand, re-
fusing to pass the food, and other
things equally as bad, are not only
not manners but they date back to
man’s pristine stage of intelligence.

“JOY to the world; the Lord has come.” Those old words
come to us today with the same untainted freshness and
sweetness as when they were written some two centuries ago
There is a reason. The story of the birth of the Saviour of
the beginning chapters of Christianity, transpired almost two
thousand years ago, and the wonder of it all comes to us
afresh with each Yuletide. So, the words of the song in them-
selves are not sweet. It is the joy and cheer, love and humble-
ness of Christmas that they reflect. They symbolize the birth
in Bethlehem. They partake of the solemnity of the leaping
flames in the fireplace and the freshness of the mistletoe. It
is not the words; it is what they represent.
Smoking on the campus is prohi-
bited. This ruling has not been es-
pecially enforced this year, but it
seems that students should have
enough pride in the College to re-
spect and honor its traditions.

IN 1917, Christmas dawned cloudy, and sullen on the
trenches in France. Mud! Slush! Little food. Moans as the
wounded were carried to the rear! Incessant rattle of rifles
and duller thunder of artillery. The nearest points in the lines
were only a few miles apart. One of the American Marine
feeling the spirit of the day despite the misery and horror,
drew a rude target and nailed it to a stick, and thrust it over
the top of the trench. Immediately a bullet ploughed
through it. The Marine waved a dirty handkerchief, stuck
his head over the parapet, and called the shot. Half an hour
later, there was a general truce along the entire front. Green
and khaki met and talked across barbed wire entanglements.
It was a day of fellowship, when both Americans and Germans
learned that even enemies are human. But the next morning
when the young American thrust his head over the trench with
a cheery “good-morning” on his lips, a bullet put a hole in his
brain and he fell backward into the mud, the joyous smile
of greeting contorting to agony. The war was on again.
My sails can know no shore,
My men have no creed but to fight—
remain
Or set sail for the Unknown Sea.

Gold and silver have I—stained gore!
I live only for the sea

For lust of battle !Powder smoke!
