Branding Cattle.

One Of the objections urged against
branding Of horned cattle on the
plains Is that IL ibjures the hide for
leather. The tanners are strongly
opposed to il. The cowboys want
the brands made conspicuous 20 that
they can read them at a glance, and
- the owners are numerous the
devices are many. In addition TO
hot iron sears the knife is freely
used. Tho animals suffer very little
from having tha marks Of ownership
affixed to them. At least, the wounds
quickly heal. The tanners objection
is stronger than thst Of the humsni-

Eighteen hundred and eighty -four

six miles soutbsrly from the city Of

and / suppose that was one reason
his parents called him by that name.
They also gave him . title, "the
Christ" which means ''the annointed
OF Goa Why be was given this
title is too long story to tell now.
Jesus the Christ, soon distinguished
himself by his wonderful courage, in
telligence and wisdom. Almost as
soon as be as he could talk he said
God was his father. and that his
Father loved everybody. A few wise
people were friendly to tho boy, bat
must everyone hated him. In those
days . great many people thought
God hated everyone that they hated,
and when this boy tola them that
God loved everybody, and would for
give everybody, and wanted every
body to be good and happy, most
people said be was fool, and called
him other bad names and hated him.
But he said love was stronger thsn
hate and would last forever. and that
everyone that believed in and prac-
ticed lore should live forever and be
forever happy. He said that all
people were made OF one blood-thst
al were children of the same God,
and that love and good will would
guide US TO heaven snd make every
ons happy, and many other beadti-
ful truths were taught by him. He
prscticed and lived what be taught.
He never faltered or failed to prac-
tice love. He was insulted, hated.
lied about, deceived by thoss who
pretended TO be his friends and a.
nally condemned TO Q shameful
death, and his loving blood tortuous-
ly wrung from his heart. And yet
his love never failed even when his
pain was terrible and his body bleed-
ing TO death. He knew il be was
true to lore be would triumph in the
end. And he did. His love over
came death and the grave. They
could not keep him. II was true
what be had said, That those who
truly love must live forever" After
be came back alive from the grave he
talked with Q few Of bis friends who
had been kind TO him, and then be
went TO heaven to prepare . homo
for MI who believe in him, and prsc
tice love, and try to be good.
And now almost everybody knows
that what Jesus, the Christ. taught
was wise snd true and people are
glad be lived and taught the world
this great truth, and that 10 why We
celebrate Christmas. II Is Christ's
birthday, festival day, day 10 b.
glaa because Jesus, the Christ, has
taught the world how much better is
love than hate, and how by being
good We may secure present and fu-
ture happiness.
