SOME HINTS TO BARBERS
large war taxes. Elsewhere the war is
prolonged almost exclusively on bor-
rowed money. It is probable that the
exhaustion of golden bullets, and the
accompanying danger of economic dis-
aster will be the principal determining
factors in bringing the war to an end.
The food situation in Germany and
Austro-Hungary, has become more
serious this year than last, but has not
grown sufficiently hazardous to com-
pel the Teutons to accept oeace. It is
a contributing cause, nevertheless, to
the persistent desire for peace which
is more apparent in Germany as the
year closes than anywhere else. A na-
tion which will consent to live on half
rations indefinitely if it is fighting a
defensive war, may refuse a long cur-
tailment of food if the government
has offensive purposes in view. As
this year's fighting drew to an end,
Dr. Von Bethmann-Holwegg, the Ger-
man chancellor, declared in the
Reichstag that Germany was fighting
New York, Dec. 27.—The Rev. Bouck
! White, pastor of the Church of the
' Social Revolution, preached last night
j on "Christendom's Christly Christ-
inas." Mr. White called Saturday thc
| most hollow mockery of a Christmas
I Day the world has ever seen. lie re-
ferred to the war and said it was a,
shame that men should quarrel Christ- j
inas Day, "and so "it was, God bless
I us, so it was!"
Charity received a strong punch
from Mr. White. He referred particu-1
larly to Vincent Astor spending $1,000
to give poor families Christmas dinner,
of chicken, potatoes and turnip. He'
said:
"It is the death of the Christmas
system of civilization that you are
beholding. Wouldn't Christ have been
happy if he could have seen Saturday's
example of a man worth 65 million
dollars and receiving an income of
$0,000 a day, spending $1,000 in
charity, to give back whence it came
a couple of chickens, some potatoes
and a turnip?"
Continuing, Mr. White revised
Shakespeare and said:
"Charity is twice cursed. It hard-
ens him that gives and softens him
that takes; it would be better for the
world if all charity would cease to- j
morrow at 9 o'clock."
Mr. White imagined a conversation I
that might have taken place should
Christ have come down to earth I
Christmas night and talked to Mr. As-
tor. It would have run something
like this:
Q. What is your name?
A. Vincent Astor.
Q. I understand you have been
giving money to the poor today. How
much did you give?
A. One thousand dollars.
Q. Where did it come from?
A. From my pockets.
Q. How kind of you! You have
saved your money. You have not
squandered it on thy manservant nor
thy maidservant, nor the stranger
within thy gates?
A. No, I didn't spend it all. My in-
come every day is $6,000 and I gave
$1,000 to the poor.
Q. Do you do that every day ?
A. Oh, no, other days I have to
pay my living expenses.
Q. How (lid you get this money?
A. I inherited it from a man who
inherited it from someone alsd, etc.
Mr. White ended his sermon by
wishing that all who ate the dinners
given by Mr. Astor had choked before
they swallowed them. He also wish-
ed them a severe attack of acute indi-
gestion. He said that when the gang-
ster politicians were driven out of thu
money changing temples there would
be no occasion for anyone taking Mr.
Astor's charity or that of anyone else.
