CMcago. OVERCOME EVIL
How great the task imposed upon
the person who would follow the
Christian dictate, "Overcome evil
with good." But, on the other hand,
how great the reward for him who.
after living a true life of a Christian,
can say "I came, I saw, I conquered.
He who can combat the evils of pres
ent day life and emerge from the
years of struggle victorious is as
great a hero as the battlefields of
the Somme and the Piave can ever
claim.
The ethicist proves by historical
reference and reasoning that evil
must exist in the make-up ot the
world. He then offers two courses
which the man or woman may meet
this essential defect in the Utopian
dream of mankind. We may antag
onize evil and make it a means to our
own perfection. By this course alone
can man triumph. He who can real
ize his detects end, knowing wherein
his weakness lies, firmly set his face
in the opposite direction, will ulti
mately prove to be the man who
"overcomes evil with good."
The other course open to mankind
is to endure evil solidly and ill
humoredly and permit it to conquer
us, or exercise our wits in contem
plating and analyzing it. This is the
course followed by the ill-fated Ham
let who, in his inability to overcome
the evil that caused the death of his
royal father, was finally consumed
by the evil himself. He who, by his
royal position, was able to fully live
out the Christian dictate, preferred
to follow the opposite course.
Christianity is often pointed out
as a blind alley for attaining ends
which reason would not point out.
The teachings of ethics bring one to
the conclusion that he who refutes
the doctrine ot Christianity has small
chance of realizing and appreciating
the moral doctrines by which the
world is governed. The teachings of
the humble Master are proved alike
by history and reason as worthy of
our acceptance.
WHAT ABOUT CHRISTMAS f
"Merry Christmas!" say some of
our pessimists. "How can we have
a merry Christmas when the world
is saddened by the desolation of
war?"
Indeed, as knitting needles are
plied and Liberty Bond issues are
pushed, more than one of us are won
dering if a merry Christmas is pos
sible this year.
The tears come all unbidden when
we think of our boys "somewhere In
- France" or somewhere in training
camps waiting for the call to go sail
ing across the ocean. Our hearts
ache, thinking of the pain and suf
fering which must be theirs and we
wonder no doubt if there will ever be
again the "peace on earth, good will
to men" which is the essence of
Christmas.
And yet, the very fighting which our
boys are doing, and planning to do,
is destined to bring closer the day
when there shall be a real "brother
hood of man." Our boys want "peace
on earth," but they want a peace that
shall endure They want a world
purified by struggle and the endur
ance which produces the really great,
In the thought and a comforting
one it is that we are fighting for
peace and brotherhood, the very
things which now seem so far away,
it is not hard to have at least a
cheerful Christmas, even if it is not
exactly as merry as former Chrlst
mases. And when we fill children's
stockings and write cheerful letters
to the front, and hear again tbe
chime of Christmas bells and the
sound ot Christmas carols, perhaps
some of the Innermost meaning of
Christmas will enter our hearts as
It has never done before who
knows?
Columbia is a good clean town, but
in his report the mayor made no
comment on the increasing number
ot coke-fiends here this winter. We
know of one fiend that has such a
craving for coke that if its owner
does not get up in the middle of the
night and give it some, the Are will
be out in the morning.

rapher and map maker and was em

A news dispatch says the baby war
bonds have taken up temporary quar
ters in the postoffice. Ail ot our
quarters are temporary and therefore
we are investing ours in thrift
stamps and not taking any chances.
Tbe St. Louis girl who asks $300,
000 for a man's failure to wed her is
the sort of woman the masculine sex
should appreciate. There could be
no complaint of her. failure to appre
ciate a man's value in the world.
Returning from a recruiting sta
tion the other day an applicant was
asked if he received a commission.
"No," he replied, "but why should I,
I didn't make an investment."
The better we know some people
the better we like them, but the re
verse may also be true it they are
not ot the heroic mold.
"Unfit for Service a Suicide" and
"Son Drafted, a German Kills Self"
were headlines in the same column.
You simply cannot please everyone.
Save up your quarters, pile up the
thrift stamps and you will soon have
a "baby bond" in your safety deposit
box.
Some pessimistic girl once said that
this is a man's world. It was Adam's

Sugarless Christmas.
Miss Louise Stanley of the home
economics department of the Univer
sity tells how to co-operate in cele
brating a sugarless Christmas:
"In spite of the scarcity of sugar
and the necessity for its conserva
tion," Miss Stanley says, "good,
wholesome candies can be prepared
for the youngsters from the various
sirups that are available. It the
children themselves have a part in
the preparation of these candies, so
much the better. The nuts have been
gathered; now is the time to crack
them and pick out the 'goodies.' Pop
the corn and have it ready for the
popcorn balls. All should be readv
and the week before Christmas the
candles may be made, or even sooner
if they are put carefully away In air
tight containers.
"There is no candy the children en
joy making more, than pull candy or
taffy. For this, boll sorghum or corn

sirup until the mixture forms a brit

water. . It Is then poured on a but
tered platter to cool. Nuts may or
may not be added. As the mass cools
about the edges it is taken up in the
hands to be pulled. Pull until light,
incorporating as much air as possi
ble. Pull out In long pieces and cut
in short lengths. This must be han
dled as hot as possible, as it hardens
rapidly.
"Popcorn balls arc lots of fun and
they require only a small amount of
sirup. Boil the sirup as before, fla

popcorn. Stir carefully so that the
sirup Is mixed well with the corn;
as it cools form into balls.
"Sirups may be substituted entire

may be substituted for as much as
one-fourth of the sugar."
THE NEW BOOKS
"Red Pepper's Patients."
Only Red Pepper could have gath
ered together such a motley crew as
Grace Richmond presents in "Red
Pepper's Patients," and only Red
Pepper could have made the sacri
fices that needed to have been made,
but Red Pepper comes up to the
scratch every time. The book is
really a series of episodes, each ot
them making a story, but in each the
red-headed young surgeon is the life
and the inspiration and he loses noth
ing of that charm which has made
him perennially popular.
