Two arrests were recently made follow ing a hold up o f a store in the county seat. The manager and his w ife identified one o f the pair as the fe llow that held the gun while ?800 was turned over. A railroad detective identified the accused as hav­ ing been at the station the night o f the holdup, , The prosecution at the trial was woefully weak. The at­ torneys fo r the defense took advantage o f the situation and o f course the jury could do nothing else than turn the fe llow s out with a clean bill o f lading. , The prosecutor was no where ra the ease. He did not even have the arresting officer on hand. He failed to link up the "short fa t fe llow " a t the railroad station,, at the grocery store or in Chillicothe, as being the same person. Xenia business men fee l that the city has a good start and a well-established reputation now that may prove attractive to the fe llow s that make a living talcing money at the point o f a £un, The accused now have no black spot to answer f o r as the verdict o f acquital in the eyes o f the law is innocent. The boys ojve much to the able and talented legal counsel that represent­ ed them in court. They may have been innocent before the trial.’ Had they been guilty they would have nothing to fear from the weak-kneed-spineless prosecutor who was supposed to represent the state but in reality was never in the case fo r he was unprepared* and did not know his ground, PASSING THE BUCK The greatest game pf all today is putting the blame on the other fe llow— in other words, "passing the buck.” It is diffi­ cult to place the responsibility fo r afiy error on the, responsible shoulders. This is remarkably time o f labor. Something goes wrong on a job and you try to find put just who is t o blame. Each individual who had any part in the work will w iggle out o f his own responsibility ,and seek to lay the mistake on some one 'else. , ; W e know a man o f this type who is a past master in pass­ ing the bufek. •H e is always right, someone else is always wrpng, T ie invariably shirks responsibility and then ‘ blames' the one whom h e delegates the task if anything goes wrong.. But i f his substitute comes through and makes a success o f the job that has been given him, then the buck-passer claims all the. credit. This type, o f man. is not so uncommon as you think. He bold ly asserts that the smart man. is the fe llow who gets some­ one else to do his w ork fo r him and he loads his associate down with duties he should discharge himself. , ’ • ■ Appoint a committee fo r some difficult task and you are almost sure to get ,one of'these fellows on that committee. He will stay away from the meetings, he always has an excuse fo r dodg ing his share o f the work, but when the matter has been , brought to .a successful conclusion he is right out in fron t and claims most .of the credit fo r the happy conclusion ., What a re lie f it is to find a real upstanding fe llow who will admit an error when he makes one, who w ill say "Tha t was my fault, I am to blame.” - How you admire the chap who car­ ries his,full share o f life ’s load; who is not always picking out the easiest job' and who is a willing worker at all times. I f you -find, yourself getting into this hab it o f "passing the bu ck ” cut it out a t once. I f you slice your drive don’t, blame it on you r dub , I f you bid fou r spades and get set don ’t quarrel with dummy because he d id not lay down three honors. hard work and, putting the blame on others hut they have few , i f any real, worthwhile friends. ' AN EASY CHRISTMAS SERVICE * How many o f us stop t o think that it makes any real difference whether w e do our Christmas buying and mailing during the earlier days o f December, or put it off until the last , few days before Christmas is actually here? And yet it does make a very great difference to. many thousands o f people through, whose toil our Christmas gifts are handed, in the stores, in the post offices through which mailed gifts are sent and received, and in the delivery service by which they are ‘ carried from our post offices to our doors. Distributed over the better part o f the entire month, this work can be handled satisfactorily, though even then it means much, extra toil j but when o,uf thoughtlessness piles b y fa r the greater part o f this extra foil into the b ief space o f five or six days, it means not only an almost intolerable exhaustion to the salespeople, the post office clerks and the delivery force , but also a congestion sure to cause a vast amount o f delay and dis­ satisfaction. Why not help to reduce all these annoyances and inconveniences to the minimum? A ll o f us who do our buying and mailing early are helping, in eifect, to give a welcome g ift to each and all o f the various classes o f workers who serve us in-connection wHh our Christ­ mas giving and receiving. Incidentally, by spreading the work over a longer period and thus relieving congestion in the stores and at the post office windows, we are also saving our own time. Furthermore, we are making it more likely that the g ifts which we send and receive will not be caught in some inextricable jam o f the mails and delivered only a day or two a fter the Christmas festival is over— a fa te which always de tracts from the jo y o f the day and the gift. i f you want "to get the’ most o f the real Christmas spiri . out o f your Christmas giving, then, and at the same time to give the most, add to your gifts the bonus o f early buying anc mailing.— Columbus Dispatch.

I. Isaiah'. Message to Ahaz. 1, Prophecy- concerning Immanuel ■ (ch. 7). Tiie occasion of this prophecy was an invasion from the north by* Israel and Syria. This - Invasion greatly alarmed Ahaz. To calm, his fearful heart Isaiah assured him that God’s purpose concerning the nation would not fail.' He urged the exercise of ruilh in Cod, offering to confirm ids faith by working any miracle desired.

Friends- making methods make the house both well and favorably known. Friend-making is o f more importance than Advertising or Service. - Advertising is the right barrel, Service is the le ft barrel, but Friond-maldng gives them both barrels. What would ad­ vertising and Service amount to if you continued to make enem ies? ' ■ It must be admitted that Friend-making alone would be a Uiow proce.it fo r building a business. Advertising and Service are both necessary, but a few cranky clerks or a dozen discourteous employees will discount good Advertising and stall even the best kind o f Service. Advertising is the head Used in busin< is. S ervice the hands we employ in business. Friend-making is the heart of business.

This action was prompted by* faith, for Gcfd hart promised that whoever in tihio df distress resorted -to His house would be heard by Him (IT Chron. '7Ho, 16). 1 2, Sent to Isaiah (vv. 2*7), The natural and logicul thing for the king to do under such circum­ stances was to send for God’s prophet 8.

He spread the letter before the Lord and prayed. (1) He recognized God’s throne, making it the ground of Ms plea (V. 10), He reposed ids faith in the lord* ship pf Jehovah, knowing that all power and authority resided in Him, (2) He recognized the peril which threatened the people (vv. 17 * 19 ), (8) HOasked for deliverance (v. 20). 4. Isaiah's message to Hezekiah (ft. 21-33). (1) That Sennacherib's sin was blasphemy against the Holy One of Israel (Vv. 21-23). (2) That Sennacherib had forgotten that he wifs an instrument in God’s hand (Vv. 24-28), (8) That judgment upon Sennach­ erib was Imminent (vv, 20-35). IV. The Assyrian Army. Destroyed (W. 86-38). The angel o f the Lord went forth atid slew In the Camp of the Assyrians 186,000 men, so Sennacherib was tamed back by the way he enme.
