Christmas.

No event in the history of the world is so
deeply fixed in the human mind or awakens
such sacred and tender feelings rs that which
occurred in Palestine, nearly twenty centu
ries ago. The shepherds watching their
flocks by night the angelic visitors, announc-
ing "glad tidings of great joy :" the multitude
OF the heavenly host praising God and say
ing: "Gory to God in the highest, on earth
peace, good will toward men !" the inefiable
glory of the Lord shining upon them all the
stable at Bethlehem the lowly mother and
the Babe in the manager; the wise men from
the East, guided 10 the spot by a star, pre-
senting their typical gifts of gold, franklin
cense and myrrli This was the scene pre-.
scented and this the day foretold and waited
and watched for by prophets, priests and
kings. The star that shone over Bethlehem
has shed its radiance through all the inter
vening ages, and it is to that wondrous birth
the world to-day owes all it has of love and
hope, of truth and beauty and happiness
Christmas, then, of all the festivals of the
year, should fill our hearts with thankfulness
and love. Right it is that in memory OF the
day when God, out of love for His creatures,
gave His only Son to the world, we should
give gifts to those we love.
To many of u.s. the hustle of Christmas
preparations and the enjoyment of Christmas
cheer, is tnged with sadness remember
absent friends, some of whom, alas we shall
see no more on earth. Such thoughts, how
ever, should not cast gloom over our feast
but should lead us to deeds of active charity
towards our poorer brethren, who are always
with US.
And leave your door upon the latch
For whatsoever cOmeS
The poorer they, more welcome give,
And scatter out your crumbs.
All have to spare. none are too poor,
When want with winter comes;
The loaf is never all your own.
~ Then scatter out the crumbs.
Soon winter falls upon your life.
The day of reckoning comes;
Against your SINS by high decree,
Are weighed those scattered scrumbs.
To all our friends, subscribers and patrons
we tender our thanks for their long years of
kindness and favor, and wish them all n
Merry Christmas

THE SUN
NEW YORK, 1888.

More people have read The San during the year
Just now passing than ever before since it was
first printed. No other newspaper published on
this side of the earth has been bought and read in
any year by so many men and women.
We are credibly informed that people buy, read,
and like Ihe Sun for the following reasons, among
others
because its news columns present in attractive
form and with the greatest possible accuracy
whatever has interest for humankind the events,
the deeds and misdeeds, the wisdom, the phloso-
ply, the notable folly, the solid sense, the i'm
proving nonsense-al the news of the busiest
world at present revolving in space.
Because people have learned that in its remarks
concerning persons and affairs Ihe San makes
practice of telling them the exact truth to the
best of its ability three hundred and siXty-fiyo
days in the year. before election as well as after
about the whales as well as about the small fish,
in the face of dissent plainly and fearessly as
when supported by general approval. me Sun
has absolutely no purposes to serve, save the in
formation of its readers and the furtherance OF
the common good.
Because It is e2eryhodys newspaper. No man
is so humble that Ihe Sun is indifferent to his
welfare and his rights. No man is so rich that it
can allow injustice to be done him. No man, no
association of men, is powerful enough to be eX-
empt from the strict application of its principles
of right and wrong.
Because in politics it has fought for dozen
years, withoutintermissiona and sometimes almost
alone among newspapers the fight that has re-
suited in the recent overwhelming popular ver-
dict against Robesonism and for honest govern
ment: No matter what party is in power, 7he
Sun stands and Will continue to stand like q rock
for the interest of the people against the ambi-
ton of bosses, the encroachment OF monopolists
and the dishonest schemes of public robbers.
All this is what we are told almost daily by our
friends. One man holds that ne Sun is the best
religious newspaper ever published, because its
Christianity is undiluted with cant. Another holds
that it is the best Republican newspaper printed,
because it has already whipped half of the ras-
Gals out of that party, and is proceeding against
the other half with undiminshed vigor. third
believes it to be the best magazine of general lit
nothing worthy of notice that is current in the
world of thought. So every friend of The San
discovers one of its many sides that appeals with
particular force to his individual liking.
If you already know The San, you will observe
that in 1883 it is little better than ever BEFORE.
If you do not already know The Sun, you will find
it to be mirror of all human activity, q store
house of the choicest products of common sense
and imagination, mainstay for the cause of hon
est government, a sentinel for genuine Jefferson
ian Democracy, scourge for wickedness of every
species, and an uncommon!y good investment for
the coming year.
