Christmas in India.
RudVard KiDlino,

RudVurd RbDltnO,
Dim down behind the tamarisks-the sky is
AS the women In the village grind the corn.
And the parrots seek the river side, each calling
to his fellow
That the day. the staring eastern day, is born
Oh, the white dust on the highway! oh, the
stenches in the pywSyl
oh, toe clas1my Jog that hovers over earth
And at home they're MAXIM merry meath the
white and scarles berry
What part have India's exiles in their mirth /?
Full day behind the tamarisks-the sky is blue
and staring
As the cattle crawl afield beneath the yoke
And they bear one DER the field path who is past
all hope or caring.
To the CHAT below the curling wreaths of
smoke.
Call on Rama; going slowly, as ye bear broth
or lowly--
Call on Rama-he may hear, perhaps, your
voioel
peal to other affairs,
And to-day we bid good Christian men re-
joice!"
High noon behind the tamarisks-the sun is hot
above US
AS at home the Christmas day is breaking
wan.
They will drink our healths at dinner-those
who tell us how they love us,
And forget US till another year be gonel
Oh, the toll that knows no breaking! Oh, the
Eeimweh, ceaseiess achingl
Oh, the bl ack dividing sea and alien plain!
Youth was cheap-wherefore we sold it; gold
was good-we hoped to hold it,
And to-day we know the fullness of our gain
Gray dusk behind the tamarisks-the parrots
fly together
AS the sun is sinking slowly over home;
And his last ray seems TO mock US, shackled in
a lifelong tether
That drags US back howee so far we roam
Hard her service, poor her payment-she in
ancient tattered raiment-
India, she the grim stepmether of our kind.
II a year of life be lent her, if her temple S
shrine enter,
The door is shut-we may not look behind.
Black night behind the tamarisks-the owls be-
gin their chorus
AS the conches from the temple scream and
bray.
With the fruitless years behind US and the hope
less years before us,
Let us honor, o my brothers, Christmas day
Call truce, then, to our labors; let US feast
with friends and neighbors
And be merry as the custom Of our caste;
For if faint and forced the laughter" and if
sadness follow after,
We are richer by one hooking Christmas past.

Gould Not Go on Without Him.

A policeman at the Polk street station yester-
day morning. says the Chicago Tribune, walked
up to a young man whom he had observed hur-
ryingt to and fro in feverish way for an hour
or more, and said:
MY friend, what is the trouble? Is there any
thing can do for you?"

But it doesn't leave till $50 this afternoon, and

A Great Need Of Savannah.

There are not houses enough in Savannah
to accommodate the people. A house agent,
speaking of this matter day or two ago TO
a representative of the MORNING NEWS,
said that there was not house for rent in
the city Of the kind desired by those who
are looking for houses. As soon as a de-
sirable house is built there are many appli-
cations for it, and it is always possible to
get high rent for it. Indeed, almost as
soon as the foundation of house is laid
there is demand for il.
The truth is Savannah is having a very
steady growth. New business enterprises
are being started, and new people are COM
ing into the city. To accommodate the new
corners a class of houses that can be rented
all the way from s25 TO $50 a month is
needed.
Money could not be more profitably in
vested than in such houses as there is a
demand for. There is considerable build
going on, but houses are not being erected
fast enough,
People, of course, will not come here IN
less they can find houses in which to live.
Comparatively few men with families care
to live in boarding houses, and only few
can afford to. They want their own CON-
Portable, inexpensive homes.
The MORNING NEWS has many times
called the attention of the authorities to the
the necessity for opening the streets in the
southern section of the city. There are very
few unoccupied building lots north Of An
derson street, and the few there are COM
mand so high price that it would not pay
to build upon them such houses for rent as
there is demand for at present.
And there should be gas, water and the
means for disposing Of the sewage in the
southern section. With these things that
section would be built up quite as rapidly
as any other portion of the city has been.
Within a comparatively recent period
many people did not care much whether OF
not they had gas, water and other things
which, in these days, are regarded as necss-
sary to make house desirable and home
comfortable. Now, however, they insist
upon paved streets, good drainage. electric
lights, water and everything else that is re-
garded as promoting health and comfort.
The city authorities have it in their
power to assist greatly in the growth of the
city. If they are in doubt as to what they
can do let them study what is being done in
other southern cities which are having a
phenomenal growth. In these cities i'm
provements are not delayed for fear that in
making them this or that citizen will be bene-
flied. Substantial improvements are made
wherever they are needed without regard
to the benefits which may accrue to this or
that individual.
Dwelling houses will not be built if streets
are not opened and the necessary public
improvements are not made. The city will
not grow if the distractions to her growth
are not removed. If people cannot get
houses they will not come here with the
view of settling.

rev. howard MacQueary'5 Theology.
1t is expected that very interesting
trial will be begun in Cleveland, o., on Jan.
z. 1t is that of the Rev. Howard Mac
queary, minister of the Episcopal church,
and very able one. 1t is said that the
Bishop OF Ohio would like to avoid the trial,
but the way does not seem open for him to
do so. There are good reasons for thinking
that the trial would do more harm than
good, because many Protestant ministers
are already questioning the correctness of
the theology of their respective churches,
and the trial might lead to discussions
which would plant doubts in many minds.
The Rev. Mr.. Macqusary is not charged
with denying sou ething of minor import
ance, but with refusing to accept things
which are the foundation of the christian
faith. For instance, he rejects the virgin
birth of Jesus and the resurrection of the
body" He says that his belief is that Jesus
twas miraculously begotten by The Holy
Ghost, albeit along the lines of natural gem
GRAFTON. and that he rose from the dead on
the third day, according to. the testimony
of st. Paul, bat he contends that he rose
y. ~
New York Sun puts it Ibis theory is, sub
stantiallv, that Jesus was natural man,
spiritually endowed with divine gifts, and
who died as natural man dies.n
The Rev. Mr.. Macqueary contends that
as an Episcopalian he has right to inter
pref the Bible in the way his Judgment die
tates In support of this position he de-
ponds upon the declaration of the Thirty
nine Articles that all that is necessary to
salvation is found in the Bible. 80 that
whatsoever is not read therein, nor may be
proved thereby, is not to be required of any
man, that it should be believed as an
article of faith, or be thought requisite or
necessary to salvation"
If every minister were permitted to in
terpret the Bible in accordance with his
understanding of it there would soon
be such a variety Of teachings in each de-
nomination that the congregations would
hardly know what to believe. While it is
true that study and research NAV
lead to the conclusion that some of the in
| terpretations of scripture which have been
accepted long time are incorrect, there
ought to be general agreement among re-
ligious teachers as to any new interpreta-
ton before it is adopted. Otherwise there
would be only confusion and doubt. If the
Rev. Macqusary insists upon his interpreted
ton of the scripture, Notwithstanding the
fact that his brother religious teachers Diff
fer with him, it would seem to be the wiser
course to invite him to sever his connection
with his church.
