Christmas Topic. In the Pulplt..


The festival which yesterday we cele-
brated or began to celebrate gives tone to
nearly all the topics prepared for discussion
in the pulpits of this city The song Of the
angels, announcing the birth of Christ, will
be elaborated by Messrs. Lloyd, Jutten and
Mccarthy Methodist, Baptist and Uni
versalist thereby uniting substantially in
the same great song. The bright and morning
star by which the magi were led TO the city
and place where the young child was will be
followed in its course by Mr.. King, and as
we go with them and with DR.. Deems to
Bethlehem and find that, being crowded out
of the inn, His mother took refuge in a
manger we may, with Messrs Macarthur and
Lloyd, pause a while and study the lessons
of the manger, or, with Dr. Armitage, inquire
why Jesus was born at all. His birth was
truly wonderful, and from His manger cradle
beams of sunlight have gilded the ages for
eighteen centuries. These Mr. Taylor will
trace in all their illumining and life-giving
influences. The hour that gave to the world a
child Saviour is, and should be, sacred to chill
uACh, ulid ~ mum NC PASaouiO W DA - uAOcAA
to picture the sacredness Of the children's
hour.
Besides the suggestions which the Christ
mas festival give, the close of the year also
brings up memories of past failures and
promises unkept and opportunities lost.
Hence, Messrs. Saunders and Jutten, Merritt,
Harris and Lightbourn and Drs. Armitage and
Deems will present the departure of 1876 in
its varied aspects. With DR.. Deems we be-
lieve it should lead us to number our days
so that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.
But in the cleaning of its results we hope
DR.. Armitage will have something better
than leaves to gather and in Mr.. Merritt's
outlook that he shall see in the signs of the
times the good time coming for which we
have been taught to pray and wait. DR..
Hall will deliver general missionary ad-
dress and Mr.. Rogers special one with ref
erence to evangelical work among the
Indians. 1t may be important to know, with
the Apostolic church, that spiritual gifts are
the permanent endowment of the Church,
but to us it is worth more to know that the
Gospel is the power of God unto salvation,
and that the salvation which it offers is free,
as Mr.. Leavell will present it. The begin
nings Of sin will be indicated, that they
may be avoided, by DIR. Fulton, and the con-
tradictions of the Scripture, in their bear
ing on its inspiration, will be harmonized
by Mr.. Mccarthy. and Bishop Snow will
present Christ as the second Adam and the
Everlasting Father. Rational Spiritualism
and Shakerism will help the Spiritualists to
while away weary hour and give them
something to think about until next Sabbath
day.

Our Commerce with Cuba.

The President says in his Message that
"the protracted continuance of the strife in
Cuba "seriously affects the interests of all
commercial nations, but those of the United
States more than others y and he gives this
as reason for intervention. But, according
to the economical theories which General
Grant favors, it ought to be an advantage to US
country produces sugar and tobacco in large
and increasing quantities. No doubt if the
supply of sugar and tobacco produced in
Cuba should be materially diminished, this
would stimulate and rapidly increase the
production of these articles in our own
Southern States. 1t would act as a sort
of protective duty; and of the advisability
of protecting and increasing our home prod
ucts General Grant has spoken in almost
every one of his annual messages.
Hitherto, however our imports from Cuba
have not decreased, except in the last year,
when the prostration of business and indus
try in this country seriously affected our
consumption, and consequently our i'm
portations from all foreign countries In
1871 we imported from Cuba the value
Of $5S, ,240 584, and exported to Cuba the
vale of S14, 200, 496. In 1872 our imports
were s67, 720, 205, and exports, $13, l68, $685.
In 1873, imports, ST., ,365, 749; exports,
S15, ,23l, 039 In 1874, imports, $50, 272, 466
exports, SIS, ,597, $50. For the current year,
ending June 30, 1876, the imports were
$66, 745, 527; the exports, SIS, $50, 65S.
What should strike an American most
painfully in these figures is the miserably
small amount Of our exports to Cuba COM
pared with the values we receive from the
island. Here we have just cause Of COM
plant against Spain, which we are surprised
the President has not mentioned, nor, so far
as the public knows, dealt with We have a
right TO ask Spain for thorough reform Of
the commercial regulations under which she
permits us to trade with Cuba. These are an
tiquated, absurd and contrary to the spirit Of
the present century. They attack directly our
commerce, and attack ii in a manner which,
while it seriously Injuries the prosperity o.
the inhabitants Of Cuba, deals with us as
though we we're enemies instead Of friends.
Our true policy toward Spain is to show hel
that she gains nothing, but hazards every.
thing by continuing to cripple our com
mercial intercourse with Cuba, and that hel
wisest policy would be TO throw open a
