MINERAL POINT, WISCONSIN, THURSDAY JANUARY TO- 1884

THE Milwaukee Sunday Sentinel
has this pleasant church news from
Darlington:
"For more than fourteen years the
services of the Episcopal church in
Darlington, were held in school
house, hall and courtroom. But the
congregation has at last succeeded
in erecting beautiful Gothic chapel
after plans furnished by Wentworth,
of Boston. The structure is of
wood (25x5l feet), unique in design,
simple, yet harmonious in its orna-
menlation 1t has an open roof,
displaying the heavy timbers, and
all the woodwork Is to be finished
in oil, which, when done. will give
a warm and cheerful effect. The
height from the floor to the apex is
20 feet, and the building has seat
ing capacity for l75 persons. Fhe
ladies, by much self-denial, have
carpeted the chancel and furnished
the lampe, and a memorial wind9w
has been plsc d in he chancel by
the Denny brothers, in loving mem
ory of their parents. The chapel
was formally opened on the Second
Sunday in Advent The bishop Of
the diocese was present on the oe-
casion and preached, and the offer
tory amounted to Si25 in money aud
pledges, to be applied on the debt,
which is thus reduced to about 5000.
The Rev. Henry Nj. Green will be
the missionary in charge"

took place on Tuesday evening al
the beautiful and commodious Ma.
sonic Hall in this city, proved to be
one of the most attractive and pleas.
ing events Of the season. At an
early hour the members with their
families and invited guests began to
pour in, as did brethren from all
neighporing lodges, until the hall
was crowded to its utmost capacity.
The installation was first in order,
after which beau tiful and touching
ceremonies, Elder Clough delivered
a short address, the whole being in
terspersed with enchanting music
The needs Of the inner man were
then consulted, and notwithstand-

stomachs needed settling, musicians
sounded their so, Ia, dos, when the

SrNcG putting the question two
weeks ago, "why 10 we celebrate
the birth of Christ on the 25th of
December, we find the following
editorial in the Clristian Evangelist,
published at st Louis:
While engaged in Christmas re.
joicing, Christians should guard
against teaching the uninstructed
wrongful ideas Recently, novice
remarked To the writer that he re-
garded the church under rs much
obligation TO observe Christmas as
the Lords day, We request him TO
reflect that even if Christ was born
upon Christmas day, the Scriptures
had not given one example of its
celebration by the church, and had
left us entirely without information
at what time of year the Savior was
born, fact inexplicable If il was
the Lords will that we should OBJ
serve the day. Until q comparative
ly recent date, most Pr testant bod

ish festival, and there is no evidence
whatever, that it is the day of Christ's
nativity, or was observed by the an.
cient church. There are no authen-
tic records Of its observance earlier
than the reign of Commodus (lSO.
1927 where traces of such a celebra.
tlon may be found. Like Easter, il
was formerly movable feast and
was celebrated at almost any time
of the year, but by the beginning of
the fifth century, the twenty fifth Of
December had been agreed upon as
the proper time for It's observance,
and this date is expressly mentioned
by Chrysostom. I'm settling upon
this lime Of the year, the Roman
Catholic Church was, no doubt, in
luenced by the fact that the Roman
Saturnalia were celebrated in Dec
ember, and soon afterward the fes-
tiyal Of Janus (hence the name of
the month January,) when it was
customary to give presents, and this
is in all probability the origin Of the
custom of giving Christmas gifts.
Not only the pagans Of Rome, but
our German ancestors were wont to
have a festival at the winter solstice
and the "Yule Tide" Of the Anglo
Saxons easily blended itself with
the Roman Christmas. We would

with a "help meet is made man,
if there is any man in him. But 1t
does not mean a parlor ornament.
In these days foolish notion has
gone abroad that a young man
should not marry until he has com
petence laid by to support wife,
and the ladies themselves are largely
responsible for the false sentiment.
But no woman who reads "help
meet" and understands the signit-
canoe. will subscribe to such senti-
ment. A wise woman who when a
girl married for love, and when a
widow married for fortune, gave
this advice to the writer a genera
ton ago: "Marry for love and work
for your riches We commend this
as another maxim upon the matr
mcnial banner of 1884. The man
or woman who loves, and has health
of body and vigor of mind and yet
hesitates, is poor coward who will

nothing in all this that does not com
