pirate WAYS we should keep this event In
grateful and perpetual remembrance.
The beautiful prophecy from which our
text is taken, has direct and unmistak-
able reference to Christ. The appeliations
ascribed to him might well have been ap-
piled by a hist rian rather than a prophet:
Wonderful, Counselor, the mighty God,
the everlasting Father, the Prince Of Peace
The word wonderful suggests our Thoughts
To every part Of his life, his character. his
works, we may apply it. In all he is won

A WONDERFUL PERSON.
-Four little tracts of only a few pages
each tell nearly all the world knows about
Jesus. They are not complete biographies.
but rather memorabilia of Jesus. And yet,
the person of Jesus is brought out so clearly
that no character in history is known so
well They could not invent the character.

when we catch the spirit of the age and
people among whom he lived, hearing his
words and seeing mis- deeds, we are ready to
exclaim: Is not this Christ?
"The Christ of the gospel is wonderful in
that he Is man Of the people and yet not a
demagogue.
He is wonderful, for though he did not
pose as revolutionist, he introduced by
teaching and example new way of think

He was wonderful, for he was q man
who did not court martyrdom, and yet
went to the cross rather than deviate from
the purpose OF his coming. and died that he
might finish his work and because he could

''It was wonderful that man Of his posi-

He was Of a people, not renowned in liter

for five hundred years had been the foot

obscure parentage and grew up In a mean
village. with no social or educational ad-
vantages. He attracted no popular atten-
tion till be was 30 years old and died as a

The Boston Symphony Orchest raj Con-
cert Tonight.
The musical event of the season will
probably be the Boston Symphony Orches-
trail concert at the theater tonight. So
much has been said about the orchestral
club that anything else is unnecessary. In
addition to what was quoted In the MORN
ING NEWS yesterday from the Charleston
NetUS and Courier concerning the clubs
concert In Charleston may be added this:
'The flute solos of NJ. Friedrich Buequoy
were well received. The Souvenir De
Baden was an especial favorite, and its
rendition finished one. The violoncello
selections by Mr.. Arthur Laseur and the
solos by Mr.. Louis Kapp were well
worthy the appreciative attention which
they received. The dainty 'Cantalena' and
the inspiring valse movement of the
former. and the brilliant fantastic of
the latter was pleasing and meritorious. In
TIM selections, in which the club partici-
pated as a whole, delicacy and precision
were the characteristics. while the grada-
ton Of light and shade and the unity of
movement conduced to perfect satisfaction.
Among the numbers presented by the club
was a symphony from Haydn, full of ex-
quisite beauty, a rich inspiring air from
Bach, the enchanting 'Slumber Song of
Bozit, the dainty intermeZzo Of Delibes and
the delicious dreaming internlezzo of Mas
cagni. The closing numbers of the pros
gramme included a serenade, flute and
YioIoncello by Messrs. Rueqnoy and Laseur,
and the Hungarian dance by the club"
An informal recital was given in the par
heard the club was delighted with its play

The mystery surrounding the disappear

of him, has been solved. The young man

Griswold wrote from the Marshall house TO
his father, saying that he was homesick and
would return home if money would be
sent.
The father forwarded the money here.
but before its arrival the young man disap-
peared and was never heard from again. A
reward of 81, 900 has been standing for some
years for some account Of Griswold, because
without him or positive knowledge of his
death the estate Of the elder Griswold who
died shortly after his boys disappearance,
could not be distributed.
Young Griswold died at J. Z. Moye's
house on the Sundryman place in Langley,
March 49, 1885.
On his death-bed Griswold said his father
was the superintendent Of large sewing
machine feetory in bridgeport. He had
opposed him IN a love affair, and taking
S1O0 from his fathers trunk, Griswold came
south.
He said he proposed never to return home
until be had the money to repay his father.
Griswold's people have been notified of
the discovery Of the news of the young
mans death.
