Christmas.

The 25th day of December is accepted
by Christian people as the Anniversa-
ry of the birth of Jesus the Son of
God and of Mary-Divine and hui
man-Very God and very man. 1t is
a matter of comparatively small con-
Germ whether Jesus was born "Christ-
mas" day or on some other day. That
he was born about eighteen hundred
and ninety years ago is a fact which
only fool or lover and maker of a
lie would deny. The fact can never
be forgotten by the world nor will
Christian people ever cease to COM
memorate the birth OF Emmanuel.
The birth of Jesus was the breaking
of the seal of the "mystery" which
was purposed of God when he said,
1T [Jesus] shall bruise thy head, and
thou shall bruise his heel. From this
time on down through the ages
glimpses of what purpose was vouch-
safed to products and angels until the
fulness of the time came, even when
God sent forth his Son made Of a
woman, made under the law to re-
deem them that were under the law.
Christ Jesus came into the world to
save sinners. He was manifested to
destroy the works of the Devil. This
he is accomplishing Us the Prince Of
peace. What of the works of the
Devil may not be destroyed under
the reign of Grace will be finished un-
der the reign of judgment. For he
must reign until he shall have put all
enemies under his feet. "Without
Controversy great is the mystery of
goodness: God was manifest in the
flesh, justified in the Spirit. Seen of
angels, preached unto the Gentiles,
believed on in the world, received up
unto glory"

First Legal Death By Electricity.

The Legislature of the state Of
New York has passed law requir.
ing the death penalty to be admin
istered by electricity, and the first
victim under the new law was Will
liam Kemmler, who was electro
cuted" at Auburn On August 9th.
This being the first experiment a
great deal of interest was manifested
as to the result. The first shock of
a thousand volts failed to kill and
Kemmler showed signs of returning
consciousness; his chest moved and
he uttered a half groan, while respir-
alton was growing stronger, and the
general belief was that he would
have revived.
Turn on the current, instantly:
this man is not dead!' said the doc
