In relation to the fatal duel between
Che youths, Baker and Clayton, in Phil
adelphia, the theory of the police is
that the boys, naturally of a morbid
disposition, had resolved to end their
lives together. There is no doubt that
Clayton did the shooting, though the
absence Of powder.marks upon his
face is singular fact, not easily ex-
planned. Baker never breathed after
the first shot struck him. If he had
first shot Clayton it would have been
impossible to have fired the second
shot into his brain. He had evidently
made no resistance, as his position was
easy and natural. Clayton fingered
nearly one hour, then died without re-
gaining consclousness, or uttering one
word in explanation. The friends Of
both boys agree that while they were
not essentially bad their tastes were
depraved, and they were fond of fashy
literature, sensational border dramas.
They never quarreled. Their devotion
to each other was the talk of the boyish
elan in which they moved.

Few people, the preacher said at the
outset. ever take a rational view OF the
meaning and significance OF the celeora-
ton Of Christmas, ana yet all enter 1nto
tho snirit Of this holiday. There seems TO
no a snirit of universal giving. All are
charmed into liberality. The rich are
Constrained to give freely. The poor deny
themselves that their children may be de-
lighted with a visit from Santa Claus.
TfharaIity extends to the novels Oh
the poor and their day IS
often made bright. Gladness and
L pleasure is associated with the day, ana
when sorrow comes on Christmas, the
dav OF the affection seems TO intensity the
grief. At the birth of Christ the first
Christmas gilt was bestowed. Ihere was
iOv at His birth, and angels gave the
grandest burst of song ever heard when
i they gave the refrain: 'GlOry to God In
the highest. and on earth peace, good
will to men,"
The consideration of the gift, the motive
and the object was then entered upon.
Thexift was Jesus Christ, the motive was

and the berries of the blood He shed for

must we accept Christ if we would profit
by His sacrifice. We must believe in
Him. and if we accept Him then the
objects intended are attained. In conclu-
