CHRIST IN CHRISTMAS
How are you planning to spend this
Christmas? If ever there was a season when
people
and last things first, it is the season of
Christmas.
Unless we determine right now that for
us this is going to be a Christian Christmas,
we shall be unable to withstand the pagan
izing pressure of the world about us. We
shall succumb to the triple X of a pagan
, X-mas—the modem excesses of excitement,
extravagance, and exhaustion!
But how can we keep Christmas Chris
tian? Pint of all, by acknowledging the
Christ of Christmas as the eternal Son of
God and the Savior of the world. Our high
est joy during the present days must find its
roots in the conviction of the Prophet:
"Unto us a Child is bom; unto us a Son
is given . . . and His name shall be called
... the MIGHTY GOD, the Prince of
Peace." Isaiah 9:6.
No gift, be it ever so great or ever so
grand, dare overshadow the Gift of God
in Bethlehem's manger. No gladness, be it
ever so high or ever so deep, dare match the
gladness of our heart over the thrilling an
gel message:
"Unto you is bom this day in the city of
David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2:11.
si*
Christmas is the birthday of our King.
Let us keep it that. Let us bring our gifts
of sacrifice, of worship, and of praise. Let
us crowd our Christian churches with fes
tival throngs. Let us make the welkin ring
with the jubilant strains of
"Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Let
earth receive her King!"
In that way, and in no other, will we be
able to rescue Christmas from the influences
which would make it a pagan holiday. In
that way, and in no other, will we
to keep CHRIST in our Christmas!

Klondike Kate,
At 68, Is Happy
On Oregon Farm
SALEM, ORE. — Klondike Kate,
at 68, has settled down near busy
Pacific highway, 12 miles south ol
here, to think back on the wild days
when she dazzled bearded prosper
tors and earned a lasting reputation
as the Belle of the Yukon.
Kate Rockwell, the daughter of a
Spokane (Wash.) judge, has moved
to a 12 acre farm with her third
husband, W. L. Van Buren, a re
tired accountant. She came here
from Bend, Ore., where she had
operated a nursing home since she
came down from the northland.
Kate and her new husband plan
to build a home on their little tract,
a house of simulated logs "for at
mosphere only."
"We will be just as comfortable
„„ _ _ ... ■ , ,, ., ..
as any of these chechacos, said the
. . . ,
Wh0 v,?T V s
much as $750 a night dancing for
and with eager miners trappers
and hunters in the Alaskan gold ]
rush days.
Kate went north in 1900 in boy's
clothing when she was 20 years old.
She joined a vaudeville troupe and
in a short while she was undis
puted queen of the Yukon.
Tourdoughs paid a dollar a dance
in those days and the girls received
25 rents of the dollar and got a cut
on the drinks. The girls drank iced
tea, wore high necked shirtwaists
and skirts to the ground.
"They were very decorous," Kate
explained.
The Yukon proved to be a bo- I
nanza for the little Spokane girl j
with golden hair and an Irish smile. |
She financed Alexander Pantages' )
first theater venture and performed ;
in his first vaudeville show. Pan- !
tages became a successful west
coast theater owner and producer.
It was in 1900 that the queen of
the Yukon met bashful Johnny
Mattson, on Christmas eve. Johnny
a trapper and miner, fell in love
with Kate, but it took him 33 years
to propose. When he did. Kate ac
cepted.
But meantime she had met, mar
ried and divorced Floyd Warren, a
handsome cowboy, after a courtship
by correspondence.
Johnny and Kate were married In
Vancouver, B. C., on July 14, 1933.
After the wedding Johnny went
back to his claim, 100 miles from
Dawson Yukon territory. Kate re
turned to Bend, where friends
changed her name from Klondike
Kate to Aunt Kate.
Johnny and Kate met in Dawson
once a year and twice a year he
wrote to her. In October, 1946, Kate
became worried because Johnny's
usual letter failed to arrive. She
instigated a search and a trapper
found the 83 year old sourdough
dead on a frozen trail seven miles
from his lonely cabin.
Kate had down to Dawson and
was there when the news arrived.
She returned to Bend, sad and lone
ly. She had known Van Buren for
several years and when she was 68
the two were married in Vancouver,
Wash.
They moved to their home here
and settled down for a quiet life.
The call of the wild has died to a
whisper as far as Kate is concerned.
