WE MENTIONED last week that the
London Truth described Moody and
Sankey as ga pair of humbugs' and
added that it was stated that they were
receiving 97O0 a month for their services.
We remarked on this that, while not in
formed on the subject, we believed it to
be vile SANDER. We now find the fol-
lowing in the Sunday School Times lust
received:
One OF the sure signs of Moody and Sankey's
successful campaign in Scotland is the new
stock OF old lies set aioat concerning their
money making operations on the one hand and
their failure to get hearing on the other. The
same weak has brought to America the two
stories that the old-time popularity of the
evangelists has departed, SO that no doors are
now open to them; and again that they are re-
fuslng to work without fat pay" at the rate of
about 97oO month" How they should be led
to expect such pay as that when no one wants
to hear them at any price it isn't easy to see :;
put consistency Is the last thing to be looked
for in out-and out lying. The truth is, that
doors are open to the evangelists on every side
In Great Britain, and they are pressed for en-
gagements beyond their possibility of doing
moreover, that at the place where they have
iabored on this visit, and where they iabored
before, In no single instance has the question
OF remuneration ever been once mooted to either
OF the evangelist" -as the committee of citizens
OF that community publicly declare.

rationalists, and only seven theological students
Professor Christlieb assures me that the number
Of theological students in Germany is now de-
cidedly on the increase, although it diminished
for while under the operation of the notorious
Falk Laws, now happily suspended in large
part by the better arrangements of his success
sors. Falk appointed as teachers in the gym
nasia very many thoroughgoing rationalsts,
who were accustomed to sheer at any of their
pupils who proposed to study divinity, and thus
did their utmost to diminish the number of the
illogical students in the universities" And yet
there are those in our own country anxious to
pick up and wear the old shoes Of rationalism
which have been cast aside in Germany or are
about to be thrown away.

The ". Y. Herald is a shrewd OBJ
server. We hear the question constantly
asked now, why is there so much dead
ness and apathy in the churches? what
is the cause of the spirit of worldliness
that seems to have taken possession of
the so-called followers of the meek and
lowly Saviour? The true reason is that
a great many Christians are trying to
harmonise the Church and the World;
they are trying to gee if the two things
cannot be enjoyed together. The bland
ishments of the world have seduced them
into state of non-combatantism with the
vanities of the world Their religion is
not that of Paul or Polycarp or Luther;
it is religion of ease, of compromise, of
luxury. The Herald Gan impartial wit
ness) tells [some of them what is the
matter when it says:
Our people regard their churches more as
ecclesiastical club houses, with cushioned pews
and decorations and fine music and good So
clety, where they can spend a couple of hours
on Sunday and listen to the chants, recite the
litanies and hear smooth and gentle orator
talk about the sentimentalities and PHILOSOPHERS
OF life. Religion is passing under the influence
OF civilization which is fond of luxury and So
clety and of being smoothed and petted rather
reminded of the sacred and awful duties in.

a place in every family in the bounds of
our Church. 1t gives full intelligence of
the work which our missionary brethren

present intensely interesting to Christian
workers at home, and there is no means
by which information in regard to this

us. We wish to say that we cannot open
our columns to a discussion of this already
much discussed subject. Our correspon-

point he makes; by publishing sermon
OF this sort we do not mean to endorse all

Rev. ]. D. McCLINTocK, D. Dive
have just received most unexpected and
distressing piece of intelligence. 1t is
the tidings Of the death of Rev. J. D. Nc
Clintock, D. D., pastor of the church at
Columbus, Miss. At Synod, he was one
Of the most alert and active members :;
thoroughly interested in the Church, its
interests and its work looking somewhat
thinner than usual from recent ill-health.
but bright, cheerful and accomplishing.
Who that met him there could think
they were looking on him for the last
time? Wesuppose that others will be as
much startled by this sad intelligence as
we have been.
But it appears that his own feelings
did not correspond with ours. Professor
Roudebush writes us He was exceed
ingly anxious to attend the meeting of
Synod, as he thought, from his feeble
health it would be his last opportunity
to meet with his brethren" in the coun-
ellis of the Church. And so it has proved.
1t was a sure presentiment. He caught
cold on his way home, which resulted
in an attack of pneumonia From the
beginning Of his attack, he entertained
no expectation of recovery. He died at
his home in Columbus, on Monday morn
ing last, man universally esteemed and
beloved by those who knew him.-,South-

CHRISTMAS.

The first notice which we have of the
birthday of Christ is in the writings
of Clement of Alexandria, A. D. 200.
There is no allusion in any of the Fathers
prior to that time to either the date OF
the nativity or the celebration of it by
the Church. The passage referring to
the subject in Clement of Alexandria is
as follows. After speaking of the year OF
our Lords birth, he proceeds:
| And there are some who over curiously as
sign not only the year but even the day of the
birth of our Saviour, which they say was in the
18th year of Augustus, on the 25th day of Pa
chon May 2Oth] And the followers of Basil
ides The was hereto of the End century, eel
citrate also the day of his baptism Epiphany |,
spending the night before in readings, and they
say that it was in the 18th year of Tiberius
Cesar, on the 18th of the month Tubi january
but some say that it was on the 18th of the same
month. Further, some of them say that he
was born on the Oath or 25th of Pharmuthi
April 21st or 22ndl ."-Stromata, lib. 1, c. 81
vol. L, p. 407, ed. Potter.
1t is very evident from this passage
Ito say nothing of the entire silence of
the fathers of the Sd century on the sub
ject) that the festival which we now cell
citrate as Christmas was unknown to the
early Church.
In the fourth century we find the fes-
tival established in the Western churches,
and celebrated on the 25th day of De-
cember. At the close of the same CEN
fury ca. D. 1867 we learn from a homily
of Chrysostom to the people of Antioch
(vol. II. p. 354, edit. Montfaucon), that
about ten years prior to the time when he
was speaking, the 25th day of December
had begun to be celebrated in the East in
commemoration of the birth of Christ.
There are some indications that prior to
this date the nativity had been celebrated
IN the East on the feast of Epiphany
January 6th).
In Luke Ii: 8, we are told that " there
were IN the same country shepherds abid-
ing in the field, keeping watch over their
hocks by night" 1t is not probable, we
think, that the shepherds would have
been watching their focks in the fields
by night as late as December 25th. The
Talmudists state that the focks of the
Jews were taken to the fields in March
and brought home in November.
Liehtfoot assigns the nativity to Sep
TENDER, Lardner and Newcome to Octo-
Der, Weisler to February, Paulus to
March, Greswell and Afford to the 5tb
OF April, Strong to August, Robinson to
autumn, Clinton to spring, Andrews be-
tween the middle of December and the
middle of January. Wordsworth gives
up the problem, and thinks that the Holy
Spirit has concealed the knowledge of
the year and day of Christs birth from
the wise and prudent to teach them hu-
mility.

DR.. FELIX ADLER, in recent Sunday
lecture, made this admission:
" The liberal movement has lacked the
earnestness of practical morality, has not
been based sufficiently upon profound
moral conviction. 1t has been too idle,
too speculative, too sentimental, too much
given to words Of noble meaning, such as
love and fellowship and sweetness
words which pail upon the taste, unless
there are tremendous deeds to give them
reality"

THERE is sad state of things in the
National Church of Switzerland. The
pastor of church seems to be elected by
a sort of popular vote. At recent cleo
ton 1900 votes were polied. One of the
candidates believed in Christianity in
some form, but in what particular form
does not fully appear. He received l ,O69
votes. The other candidate was sup
ported on the ground that he believed
nothing" Az electioneering pamphlet
put out before the election assailed the
first candidate and made the point against
him that he belonged to the Evangelical
party; "in other words" said the PAM
phlet, I" he is Christian" The gentle
man who was not Christian was elected
by 500 majority, and is now the pastor Of
one of the principal churches in Geneva.
