The Two Phases of Christmas.

Our joyous winter festival with its
wealth of good cheer is older than
the church, older than the CHRISTIAN
era as old almost as the human race.
Ever since the earliest shepherd as
tronomers, watching the stars and
sun, noted the winter solstice, there
have been feasts to celebrate the
turning of the sun. Egyptians,
Jews, Greeks, and Romans all had
feasts which lasted from about De.
cember 81 to January /. The early
Germans and Britons had similar
times of rejoicing, in which the
yule log, the holly and the mistletoe
played a prominent part.
Knowing this fact, our puritan
ancestors refused to recognize what
they considered compromise be-
tween the church and the world, and
Thanksgiving day was instituted
partly to take he place the sheath
en- festival" But there were SO
much that was beautiful and good
and true IN the Christian Christmas
aud the true unseldsh spirit Of the
Carpenters Son Of Nazareth seems
to peryade ltso completely that it
has lived and thnved ia spite Of the
puritan interiict.
Christmas, the Christ day, brings
TO mind the thoughtful aud suggas.
tive idea Of Wm. T. Stead, the great
London journalist, which came to
him, he says, when he had been put
in jail one Christmas day for daring
to uphold the rights Of the oppressed
1t was to call men not Christians
bat Christ men and Christ women
If they really meritea the title.
There is food for the reflection in
the idea, Would not the solemnity
and the responsibility Of the title,
the idea of the new man, born
again, as the scripture put it, appeal
TO the world with more direct force
than under the old name which has
sheltered so much Of hypocrisy,
strife and self righteousness? Would
not the spirit Of the lowly Clrpen-
tef's Son, the true spirit of Christ
mas time, be wider spread if the
whole force of that name, Christ
man, were borne in mind? Let us
hope, then, that while we celebrate
the.old time festival, with it's mirth
and mistletoe, its happiness aud its
holly, we may always remember the
newer, higher aud nobler lesson of
the new era that dawned on Deeem.

0oNsIN. SATURDAY, DECEMBER, %, 1898.

The interest of Christmas shop.
pers this year centers mainly upon
dainty and inexpensive Christmas
trifes, and gives as the significant
reason therefor that it is now
"quite the fashionable thing to be
poor and frankly to acknowledge
it," Nothing is an unmixed evel.
If one fruit of the hard times shall
be to persuade men aud women of
the folly of protesting to be richer
than they are, aud shall breed in
them the moral courage to say that
they are poor, and in their expendi-
lures 10 act as though they were
poor when they are poor in fact, the
hard times will prove to be the
greatest blessing which the Ameri-
can homes of this generation have
yet known. The infallihle recipe,
whether times be prosperous or
times be hard, is: "Earn more than
you spend; if you don't earn, don't
spend"

by all teachers in the work and by
interested parties who look on. An

A Few Facts-No Humbug.

From their remarks, it would look
as though some Of our Christian
friends(?) were trying 4 make the
people believe that Bankrupt
Sale meant a disposing Of lot
Of shoddy goods, odds and ends, etc.
We want to inform the people,
however, that the stock lately owned
by +. J. Davey is composed Of good
fresh and reliable goods, and we are
selling everything lower than our
esteemed friends can buy them, even
if they have the necessary cash.
This stock was sold on chattle mort
gage sale and was purchased for a
little more than fifty cent. on tn"
dollar, hence you can see why we
can sell at the prices we do.
Come and see, examine, and be
convinced.
