But I notice also from smother sack
they shake out the franckincense. Clear

Here is q metal pan and the handle

this metal pan were put living Goals, on
the top Of them q perforated cover. In
a square box the frankincense wa
brought to the temple. This franklin
cense was taken out and sprinkled owe
the living Goals and then the perforated
cover was put on, and when they were
all ready for worship then the
was lifted from this censor and from all
the other censers, and the perfumed
smoke arose until it hung amid
all the folds and dropped amid all
the affairs, and then rOse in great
columns Of praise outside or above
the temple, rising clear up toward
the throne Of God. So we have two
censers to-day Of Christmas franklin
cense. Here is the one censer Of earthly
frankincense. On that we put u
thanks for the mercies Of the past year.
the mercies Of all our past lives, indi-
vidual mercies, family mercies, social
mercies, National mercies, and our
hearts burning with gratitude send aloft
the incense of praise toward the Throne
of Christ Bring on more incense, and
higher and higher let the columns Of
praise ascend. Let them wreath all
these pillars and hover amid all these
arches and then soar to the Throne. but
here is the other censor of heavenly
thanksgiving and worship. Let them
bring all their frankincense-the cheru-
bin bring theirs and the seraphim theirs
and the one hundred and forty and four
thousand theirs, and all the e~ternities
theirs, and let them smoke with per
fume on this heavenly censor until the
cloud canOpies the Throne of God.
Then l take these two censers-the cen-
ser Of earthly frankincense and the
censer of heavenly frankincence-and
/ swing them before the Throne, and
then l clash them together in one great
hallelujah unto Him to whom the wise
men of the East brought the gold, and
the myrrh and the f~rankincense.
Blessed be His glorious name forever.

Some one has been looking up the
origin of some of the peculiar white
Oaths that people use, and the result is
interesting. The oath ''by jimini' is
not classic in appearance, but it is clear
~ a corruption of the Latin ''gemini,"
or ''twins," as applied to the demi-gods,
Castor and Pollux. What does my lady
mean when she signs 20, dear?" She is
simply initiating madam, who says
'.Mon Dieu," with Gallo vivacity. When
the man Of the world CALCULATES 1.-The
DEUCE" he imagines that he is talking
English. o, no. He is talking Latin
again and evoking the devil, desig-
mated in the word ''dusius." When
our rural friends gasp ''gosh!" with
establishment depicted on their coun
tenances, they r simply giving a
sibilant ending to the otherwise hard
