Missouri trying to reach him by Christ

from his army to act as their escort.
About the second week in December a

A Greater Panic.

Two Mifaintown neighbors falling
out over boundary orfence line is
no common sense reason for every.
one in the town becoming excited and
expressing a desire to indulge IN a
fight to settle the boundary or fence
line in dispute. but up jumps a lot
of people to propose that England
and the United States and Venezuela
and others go to war to settle the
boundary line or fence line dispute
between England and Venezuela.
If President Cleveland keeps on with
his queer performances, he will get
up a greater panic than siezsd upon
the country few years ago when it
was clear that he was determined to
reduce the tariff so low that its pro-
ceeds would not pay the expenses Of
the Government.

iarged sympathy with which the wealthy
and the cultured regard their poorer and
less fortunate fellow men and women.
1t is Cudeniable that niuch of this is tho
direct effect of Christian teaching and
culture, and though men doubtless acted
the part of the good Samaritan before
Jesus proclaimed his message of peace
and good will on earth, there are but
| few who would feel disposed to deny
that the active beuevolcrce SO clarac
teristic Of our times is the direct out
come Of that event, which is now being
celebrated all over The world.
Though charity is duty which should
! not be limited by times and seasons,
! still the bounty of the most benevolent
should be moro freely dispensed on the
| occasion of the commemoraticn of the
birth of him who first inculcated the
universal brotherhood of man and chose
| for his companions not the cultured
and wealthy, but the poor and humble
and illiterate of the earth. "The poor
ye have always with you," said he of
! Nazareth. Christians VIII best follow
their Divine examplar's footsteps by see
ing even beneath the beggar's gabard!Ee

by their aid and sympathy into hope

They were filed with great array and
assortment of article. supposed to be
necessary Tor the welfare and comfort of

to things to eat, especially cakes, Jel-

therefore doubly relished. There were
articles of wearing apparel il every box.

Nearly every box contained supply OF
