Rev. Richard Eddy Sykes. for ten years
past the Universalist pastor at Little
Falls, N. Y. has been selected as pastor
to lead the Denver movement. Rev. L.
G. Browne says in the Leader Mr.
Sykes has by his faithfulnese, the rich
ness and sweetness of his life, his pure
and earnest personality and the persua.
siveness OF his preaching endeared him
self in an unusual degree to his people.
He has friends by the score in the other
churches of the town. The departure
OF few people from Little Falls will be so
much regretted as his. The powers
that be have made wise choice in Sc
curing him for the important field of
Denver" With such a record as this in
a place where he has lived for ten years.
Denver has no doubt secured the right
man for the important work of maintain
ing our cause and leading it forward to
success. We shall expect good reports
from the work.

THE Christian ceremonies which

THE Christian ceremonies which
prevail throughout all religious
countries are conceded to he of Pagan
origin. The first mention of the green
trees and wreathes rs eiublems in
church history is fer the purpose Of
dfscouraging the practice. The green
tree loaded with images, torches and
presents seems to have appealed to the
tastes of childhood nature from the
oldest historical times and even the
ban of the churches did not make the
ceremonies of the recurring anniversary
less popular. Some time after the
Christian religion became a powerful
factor in politics andlsocial ethics, the
Catholic church changed the dates of
the Pagan festivities to correspond
with the birthday of Christ, and even
recognized the forms of the Pagan
celebrations. 1t Is therefore a fact that
the essential features of our Christmas
celebrations are a. old as the civilized
world

THE question of England's right to
take possession of American territory
by force of arms has been presented
very forcibly to the public within the
past week. The Monroe Doctrine, an
unwritten law, may have b. Ell uncer-
tain in effect and scope in all the past up
to the present but it has gained a" the
force of a statute at hound. England,
upon what would appear to be a
trumped-up claim, sserts a right to
posses sion of a. portion of Venezuelan
