Christmas. the gladde4e, brightest and
most glorious OF all che other days in the
year. has come aud gone once more. fts
advent making millions Of hearts the
happier. Il Is celebrated rs the birthday
OF Him who came inta the world to re-
deem It from sin /; who offered himself
asa precipitation for the sins of the whole
human race. It Is day above all other
days and as the ages come and go It Will
grow gVandeF and more sacred to human
ity. 1t matters not what men may think
Of the Bible history OF Jesus OF Nazareth
whether they nscribe divinity TO him or
not, the great and undeniable fact still re-
mains, that the character of Jesus was and
ik the greatest moral force. most benign
influence, that ever entered the world
Through all the centuries that have pass
ell since the birth OF Jesus, the worlds
progress toward a::higher and better civili-
zation, everything that is good and noble
and pure that has been developed in hTl-
manitv. can be direcsly traced TO the grand
truths tanght by Him while sojo0rr'ing
here upon earth. His was a career so lofty.
40 noble. 40 grand, that few even Of his
most devont followers of to-day are able TO
comprehend It and mankind is but jus!
beginning to perceive that "EIe is great
enough for ali men to stand within the
compass of His mighty spirit" Ia it any
wonder that all men of sense and breadth
of feeling join in paying homage to this
peerless and perfect soul. who was absolute
Is without sin, or spot. or biemish !; whC
enshrinesl divinity in his radiant human
form ..who gathered up the Infinite forces
o4 Deity, as wheat is gathered In a sheaf
and forever linked them with the natura

Business men make the matter OF insnr-
ing their goods and property of the first
Importance, as no man can tell the day
nor the hotlr in which his property may
be danlaged or entirely destroyed by IRE.
even though he mag exercise the greatest
care and watchftlIness. Our farmers are
pretty generally making assurance doubly
secure by lnsuring their grain after plac-
ing 1t In the warehouse. This is wise and
safe. and should be followed by all. In-
sure your grain, hoglses, barns, or goods
OF any kind In a sound company. and yon
can sleep soundly. Ameng the sountiest
insurance companies doing business Ia
Oregon. none can be more highly recon-
nsentled than the Connecticut and the
German-American. Il Is q noteworthy
tact that both the above companies paid
every dollar OF their losses ia the great
Chicago and Boston fires, q fact which
speaks loudly In their favor. The instruc-
tions to agents In every case is to find out
speedily the amount OF any loss by Are 3
which they are interested, and pay It to
the last tarthing. These are the compan-
les In which to insure. Mr.. Julius Grad
wohl Is the accommodating agent for both
companies In this city, to whom all should
apply who desire to insure la safe COM
