TIE PHILOSOPHY OF GIVING.

The custom Of giving that is universal
in Chrstendom at this season is beauti-
fully commemorative Of the greatest gift
Of Gods love TO man, divine manhood,
the representation Of Deity, the expression
Of the Divine will in human form, I'M
manuel. The face Of humanity at this
time bespeaks the rising Of the Sun of
righteousness with healing In his wings.
A strange but genial warmth IS spread
abroad, and everywhere in the world
where the name of Christ has been pro-
claimed people feel a renewal Of the
earliest, tenderest impulses and joys of
life, simple and sincere. 1t is a strange
manifestation Of Christianity that the
celebration Of the Nativity illustrates the
hrst Christian dogma, that we are to be-
come as little children to enter the king
dom OF God; that 1t reviews and shows
beautiful human childhood-a world re-
newing and renewed-the pretty title page
10 the Volume OF Faith.
II is Christian doctrine that it is more
blessed to give than receive" and the
Most Blessed is forever giving, and is
trusted for the freest granting of all that
wise but boundless love can bestow, his
returns being only loyalty and love from
the objects Of his bounty OF course very
many now enjoy the thought of what they
are 10 receiye-mostly the dear children
and helpless ones-but the pleasure and
business Of the season is giving, and
therein is its joy
II is pleasant to see generosity and
Kindness so prevailing, manifested In free
heartedness, and yet there's room for a
little thinking. And the practical working
OF THIS handsome matter is not without
It's Offsets. There are some who pro-
nounce the thing a bore, and it is not very
uncommon to hear the question asked:
what on earth did they send me that
forT So then, as there is reason In
roasting OF eggs" 1t pays well TO use
common sense and discretion in our boun-
W and we may be pardoned for word
or two.
unless there is a full justification as
an expression Of gratitude or sincere
love- gifts are not allowable. They i'm
pose an obligation, and an obligation Is
not pleasant to bear; sometimes IL is in
supportaole. Gifts are a language. and
the receiver instinctively asks what they
mean. They may destroy the heart"
Dut the motive, like the ointment OF the
right hand, betrayeth itself; "the desire
OF man Is kindness This Is the un-
pleasant phase Of giving. but It had best
to be considered.
Thsrs are pretty insidsnts In Scripture
The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1892-12-18

very Instructive about giving. Away back
in the past old Abraham. returning in
triumph, refused 10 accept from the King
Of Sodom from a thread to a shoe
latchet. lest thou should say. have made
Abraham rich" Vie was OF Rochefou-
cauld's opinion, that It is an insufferable
misery TO be under obligation to scoun-
drel. Later on the patriarch took his
cousins household by storm by his hand
some gifts TO the beautiful Rebecca.
David refused to offer to the Almighty
that which cost him nothing" His fell
low-citizens after him disgraced them
selves and brought a punishment by offer
ing things torn and deformed and lean
and cheap. Meanness can't disguise Itself
and it's offerings. Ugiy's in the bone.
In later history the farthing OF the
widowed. solitary thing, was pronounced
the handsomest thing In the world. be-
cause It carried with it unlimited gener-
osity and a whole and loving heart And
quite a different gift brought quite as
much praise and honor. The Alabaster
box Of very precious ointment filled
house with It's fragrance, and rejoiced the
sad heart Of a divine departing friend.
o. what a gift was that! A beautiful,
pure. gentle, tender, loving heart. a mag
nificent soul, giving itself expression!
Honor and love are not confined. but
will pour out and expand themselves
in ways and forms OF their own; in a
farthing as well as in the costliest vehicle
of the costliest perfume.
In this connection the saddest teach
ing Of the gift is that Of the husband
and wife whose meanness. as Is always
the case with unworthiness, allowed
played them in the nick
OF all their fortune a dog trick"
They wanted to pass for liberal, but
were not equal to It. as people want to
be gentlemen and can't. Their stinginess
mills the purse strings at the unluckiest
moment and betrays the dog; spells the
coat by scanning little cloth.
And yet another illustration OF the am
bilious and mercenary gift was In that
of the vulgar fakir who, after his princi-
pie that everything has its price, thought
to buy the spirit of God and soul OF man
hood, got only rebuke fastened on him
forever: "Thy money perish with thee'
But the lesson IN all these Is the same
as in all human affairs
1.-THE hearts aye. the part aye,
That makes us right or wrong.
And the words of the Wise Man are al
ways in place: Keep they heart with all
duioence for out Of 1t are the issues of
life"
The richness OF gifts IS the love and
honor they bring with them. But "Kich

The Times was, Of course, not ignorant
Of the rumors with regard to Mr.. Wood
bridges affairs, which have been more o..
less the subject of conversation on the
streets for the last few days. But we
inferred from the first, what we are now
assured Of. that the scmi-publlc trusts
IN the hands Of Mr.. Woodbridge had been
faithfully administered, that neither his
bank nor its patrons would lose any
thing by him. and that if there were any
complications in his affairs, they would
be entirely within the circle OF
his family; that with such the
public was in nowise concerned.
and therefore, 1t did not fall within the
scope OF our duty to the public to inves-
tigate or discuss them. We are glad to
have our first impressions confirmed.
being now assured that the only parties
concerned in these transactions are fully
informed and entirely satisfied and that
no investigation of his affairs is neces-
sary, or has been thought Of, beyond
such as IS inevitable in case Of any
mans death. AS to Mr.. Woodbridse's
indebtedness to one of our banks, we have
the best authority for saying that it is
an ordinary case Of the skrlnkage of
collaterals securing ordinary loans in the
course Of business. The Times sincerely
regrets the catastrophe which ended the
life Of this unfortunate gentleman, and
tenders to his deeply-aGicted family its

ART SOUVENIR NEXT SU DAY.

Next Sunday The Times will present
to each Of its subscribers a lovely art
souvenir The subject is a reproduction
in colors Of a painting now in the Cath
crime Wolfe collection in the Metropolitan
Museum of Art in New York. It is called
the Holy Family, or Repose in Egypt,
and was painted by Ludwig Knaus, a
very distinguished artist, in 1876, on the
order Of the late Empress Of Russia, but
for some reason it was not taken, and
was afterwards purchased by Miss Wolfe
from the artist In Berlin. The picture
represents the Virgin Mary seated in the
foreground with the Holy Child in her
lap. Beside her looking up into the baby's
face admiringy stands a chubby little
cherub. To the right Of the Madonna in
the background stands joseph holding the
bride of an ass by one hand, while he
looks up at the bevy of little angels in
the air. The picture is beautifully tinted
and deserves what it will doubtless re-
ceive-a choice place on the household
wall.

Latest reports from the cholera In
fected countries are to the effect that the
disease is rapidly increasing. From St.
Petersburg come the accounts that over
900 deaths have occurred in Russia
since the epidemic first appeared, and in
Hamburg two fresh cases were reported
yesterday There is every indication now
that we viii be in great danger from the
scourge this spring. unless even more
stringent precautions than ever are taken
against it. The necessity for restriction
of immigration. therefore. becomes daily
more and more imperative. and Congress
will be compelled to take early and def
mite action in this important matter.

and euloglstic as the resolutions passed
IN favor Of Mr.. Tucker have been, they
