ing attention to the "Grand Offer
made by us, in another column of this
issue. This is an enterprise which, we
believe, is the first of its kind that has
ever been attempted in this Kingdom,
and, we trust, will receive the patron
age it deserves, as it is bona-fide
arrangement by which the public can
get six months subscription to our
paper, and valuable Holiday Gift, at
elstb rates, which are much less than the
regular prices when not combined.
This offer is open only until January J,

We know not how Time flies nor
what he is; we only realize that Time
hath been. Our heads are turning
gray while our hearts are yet young.
We look before us and behind, yet
murmur not. The consultations Of
philosophy bring us pain and an in
finite longing for joy, in the midst Of
sorrow, takes possession OF us.
We know not why, but when Christ
mas comes it brings the world bound
less JOY, such as filled the hearts of the
early Christians when they hailed the
risen Christ. To childhood Christmas
is the realization of dreams; to old age
Christmas becomes revery of dreams'
curly heads and dying faces mingle in
the halo Of age; infinite sunlight and
wild bursts of innocent JOY usher in
childhood's Christmas carnival.
At Christmas, kings have often
meditated "deeds of BLOOD" while the
people were laughing in the face O
| Fate.

The pastor who is not aggresslyely
evangelistic in his spirit and methods
will not have church worth much in
the work Of evangelizing the city. He
will build up comfortable, easy-going,
self-satisfed congregation, which will
look with disfavor upon all selfaggres-
sive work, and will settle the question
of the city's evangelization by saying :;
"If the people want to be saved, let
them go to church, and if they are too
poor or to proud to go to church, let
them 60 to the chapels and mission
houses, and if they will not go there let
them 60 to --." To the support of
the chapels they will contribute, pro-
vided the minister in charge sis not
too high-priced and will adopt no Sal
vation Army methods" The best
proof of the truth Of this statement is
an examination of the yearly reports to
our largest and most wealthy churches,
those presided over and administered
by brethren who believe in "the culture
of the Christian life and the natural in
crease Of the Church," whatever that
latter expression may mean.

DECE1fBER Goth.

Merry Christmas, they say, comes
but once year. 1t is well--nay, it is
very well, for it is "better than the end
of life" where death comes but once in
the years, leaving darkness not entirely
darkness, for merry Christmas, merry
though it be, gives solemn promise Of
light in the darkness. All who believe
in Christ believe in the promise of
Light in the Darkness even those who
disbelieve honor merry Christmas and
keep it holy for their children's sake.
it has taken such hold on humanity.
AT Christmas tide we worship in the
fullness of joy, with our faces turned
toward the East---with our memories
clinging to the Cross. The child-life of
the world has passed away, alas and
we have grown old apace-yet once a
year we become children again and
blow our Christmas horns around the
belted earth--very joyful in the midst
Of death! Now comes the promise of
Salvation, and it were better for the
world could all men accept it--living
upright within the shadow of the Cross.
Enthusiasts declare that in the later
days all men aOW bow and worship,
where many only celebrate in this, the
nineteenth century Mayhapl Some
worldly-wise historian shall yet live to
record the would il were known
in this day and age that civilization
might stride onward to the ''fuller con-
summation"
The world holds high carnival with
Time, wherein grim Death is harlequin.
Much do we marvel at the deeds of meH,
Whereof we read in books, where they are
writ
In various phase, with various turn Of wit,
BY sages gifted with no doubtful ken.
Anon, King is hid in Ermt's den
Groveling in filth that he may quiet sit +:
Anon, slave for Empire is deemd fit,
Whose glory circles round flatterer's pen.
The world seems holding motley masquerade
Wherein carths passion-puppets lead the van
OfreveIry; where Love and War are made
The symbols Of the life and fate of marl--
Till all, former changing, gins to fade,
And naught, save dreams, is left Of Time
that ran
