CHRISTMAS At HOME
rConttnued from Ninth Pdge.I

singing and music were under the direc-
ton OF Mr.. Holt.
Bishop Nichols took his text from the
sixth verse of the fourth chapter of the
Second EpIste to the Corinthians: "The
knowledge of the power of God is in the
face of Jesus Christ"
His theme was that it was useless to
start anew to discuss the divinity and per-
sonaliIy of Christ, as the questions early
raised were settled conclusively long ago
by the best intellects of several centuries.
During his extemporaneous discourse he
said:
knowledge implies study. Study is not
merely making use Of what is around us, but a
searching observation of IL.
Why go back TO the past? Why not have the
department of a university search out the facts
while we wait for the pronunciamento? Be-
cause, dear friends, it is a subject that occu-
pied the intellect of centuries, and fair mind
viii say that the ability and intellect expended
upon the discussions during centuries gone by
are not exceeded by this nineteenth century.
A person asks why do you believe he was a
Savior? If you wish the ultimate, scientific
formula that has stood the test of nineteen
centuries you have it in that we recited this
morning in the Nieene creed. In the litany it
carnation, good Lord deliver u.s." In the Te
Deum it is, "Thou art the king OF glory, o
Christ"
At the close of the Bishops sermon
Frank Coffin sang Adams "Noel." Com
munion service was held after the regular
service.

Superfiuous Eating.

Growth and waste and repair go on in a
nearly uniform way the whole year
through, but the amount necessary for
these operations or purposes is surpris-
ingly small. The generation of bodily
heat requires most variable quantity
of food. In winter, with the tenn
perature of the external air at zero,
the temperature of the blood in
healthy persons is 98.3 degrees; and when
the heat of summer drives the mercury of
the thermometer nearly to or above that
mark, the blood still register 1873 degrees.
The marvellous mechanism by which this
uniform blood temperature is maintained
at all seasons is not necessary to consider !;
but it must be evident to every one that
the force needed to raise the temperature
of the whole body to nearly 100 degrees in
winter is no longer needed in the summer.
The total amount of food needed for re-
pair, for growth and for heating, physlol-
ogy teaches us, is much less than is gener-
ally imagined, and it impresses US with the
truth of the great surgeon Abernethy' s
saving, that "one-fourth of what we eat
keeps us. and the other three -fourths we
keep at the peril of our lives" In winter
we burn up the surplus food with a linz
tied amount of extra exertion. In sum-
mer we get rid OF it literally at some extra
risk to health, and. of course, to life. We
cannot burn it. Our vital furnaces are
banked, and we worry the most important
working organs with the extra exertion of
removing what would better never have
been taken into the stomach. British

TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY.
Rev. W. e. Moreland's Text From the Annun
citation by the sheuherds.

Rev W. e. Moreland's Text From the Annun-
citation by the Shepherds.
The floral decorations of st. Luke
Episcopal Church were elaborate and
artistic. Evergreens and real berries were
banked around the windows and the en-
tire nave was garlanded with alternate
wreaths and crosses of mistletoe and
holly.
Services were held at Z, s and II o'clock
in the morning. and all were attended by
crowded congregations. During the day
over $50 members received communion.
At II o'clock the full choir sang sweetly
and impressively under the dictatorship of
Choirmaster ". A. Sabin.
Rev. William Hall Moreland preached
the Christmas sermon from the text
Behold, bring you good tidings of great
JOY" He said in part:
There is a tendency at Christmas to
dwell upon eXternals and to miss the true,
deep meaning OF the day. One of the in
direct and benefcent effects of Christmas
is the observation of the day by Jews and
non believers. Multitudes are blessed by
Christmas who are not yet ready TO &C
knowledge Hin from whom all the bless
ings come. When we think of it as n
religious festival our thoughts are occu-
pied with its externals. We picture the
manger, we sing of the angels, we join in
the hymns and say How sweet, how
beautiful, and pay little heed to the m can
ing of the words in use.
"You are the child of God; you are not
left to perish here. because he has come
among you and taken your nature and
lived your life and redeemed and saved
VOu."

GERMAN CHURCH.

After Musical Pete Kris Kringle Distrib-
uted Keepsakes.
A very pretty Christmas entertainment
was given last evening at the Emanuel
Evangelical Church on Twelfth street, of
which Rev. II. Cordes is pastor. The fete
was under the direction of Superintendent
G. F. Ochs and his corps of teachers. The
exercises were in the German language
and a programme of thirty numbers was
rendered in excellent style, the singing
being particularly meritorious.
the feature of the entertainment was a
cantata founded on the parable Of the
''ten virgins" The house of the bride
groom had been set with stage effects at
one side of the pulpit, and ten young
ladies robed in white carrying lighted
antique lamps personated the virgins.
At the proper moment five of the lamps
went out for want Of oil, and with wall
ing chorus the Foolish Virgins" were
consigned to outer darkness. Miss Carrie
Senk acted as doorkeeper to the BRIDE
groom's house, and the virgins were
Misses Title and Laura Otto, Tillie
and Frieda Meineke, Lille Koebelin,
Emma Jenne, Ida Oprecht, Christine Dali
and Title and Kate Kohler.
During the evening Misses Emma and
Amy Fischer, daughters of Rev. F.
w. Fischer, a missionary lately re-
turned from Japan, sang the Japanese
national anthem and some Gospel hymns
in the japanese language. The two girls
were born in Japan and wore the native
costume. The entertainment closed with
the appearance of Kris Kringle, who threw
candies among the audience and dis
tributed presents from brilliantly lighted

A Burglar Leaves Sanguinary
Evidence of Doing Thor.
ough Work.
WANTED EVERYTHING IN SIGHT
He Ransacked the Residence of Henry
Goodall, but Left Some of
His Spells.

When Henry Goodall, the propertyman
at the Baldwin, and his family returned
to their home at 1417 Oak street after the
theater on Monday night they found the
gas lighted in every room. As they had left
the house dark they entered hastily, to
learn that the house had been ransacked
by burglars, who had left a broad trail of
blood from one end of the residence to the
other.
The men, for there were two of the bur-
glars, evidently knew that there was no
one at home in the Goodall house or in the
fat just above, occupied by II. r. Ackart,
the bookmaker for they had done some
very rough work in trying to pry open a
rear window. Failing in this one had
broken the upper part of the lower pane
of glass; and inserting his hand had turned
the hasp.
In doing this be cut either his hand or
his wrist very severely. They we're in too
much of hurry TO bind it up, though,
and at once entered the house and set to
work.
From the kitchen they went to every
room in the house, evidently hunting for
money. They turned down the bed-cov-
ers and felt in the pillows, all the time
leaving great splashes of blood on every
thing The bureaus and sideboard were
| ransacked, and Mr.. Goodalrs secretary was
broken open and the papers in it were
tossed about and stained with blood.
In this secretary they found some silver
heirlooms. They took these, as well as
all the table silver and two watches be-
longing to Mrs. Goodal's sons. There was
only little money found
The thieves had then laid out two new
suits of clothes, several other pieces and
an alarm clock, and had just brought a
vallse to the room to put them in when
Mr.. Ackerts Chinese servant returned
The noise made by the Mongolian sounded
as if it were at the Goodalls' front door,
owing to the formation of the house, and
the thieves escaped.
This was the story told by the stream of
blood and the footprints. Word was sent
at once to the police ard a sergeant and
two men examined the premises. They
measured the footprints and are on hot
search for the burglars.
There have been no robberies in the
Panhandle district of late. A number of
suspicious characters have been hanging
around though. and the police have strong
suspicious as to whom the guilty parties
are,
number of extra watchmen have been
put on by interested parties since the burg
larry. Several new buildings are going up
and the Waterman of these has been reen-
forced with an assistant.
Although there were many valuable
articles of vertu and costly ornaments in
the Ackert fiat, no attempt was made to
enter it. The burglars devoted themselves
to the lower fat

Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland.

Mrs. Cleveland always refers to him as
''the President" both in his presence and
in his absence. A member of the Cabinet
says that he once heard her call him
Grover" when they were skylarking a
little on fishing trip, but he thinks she
was only making fun. He does not know
that she has ever called him "Grover"
since, although he has been with them 8
great deal. Sometimes she addresses him
as Mr.. Cleveland" but when she speaks
of him in the third person she never uses
his name. 1t is always ''the President
says" or 1.-The President went to town" or
"the President likes to live at Woodley
better than in the White House." When
the children are present she invariably
addresses him as papa" He calls her
Frank almost invariably, except on
occasions of formality or in the presence
of strangers. When he speaks of her IN
her absence to the members of the Cabinet
and other friends, he usually says my
wife. Chicago Record.

RUBBER TRADE BOOM.
Many Modern improvements and Much
ECONOMY in the Nanufacture.

Many Modern improvements and Much
Economy in the Manufacture.
One of the most interesting OF current
events, from the viewpoint of the electri-
clan, is the newly developed production of
rubber in Lagos. In 1889 no imports of
this article were recorded as received from
the colony, and last year the amount was
only 500, go. By a single steamer which
left Lagos at the beginning of last month,
however, the value of the rubber shipped
to Liverpool was $4,000.
The new industry has taken hold of the
inhabitants of Lagos Unfortunately with
the rush of gold craze. Numbers of
clerks, small traders and others-even, it
is said, professional men-have packed
their traps and gone into the interior to
take their chance in collecting and manu-
featuring the gum.
The native owners of the forests have a
shrewd appreciation of the bearing of this
unwonted excitement and are insisting on
the payment of royalties. Some of them
are even entering into the business of pre-
pairing the rubber for market
Prices in the interior have been consid
e-ablv advanced and there is no longer as
much profit as there was at first in pur-
chasing and Transporting the products Of
tie coast.
tificial rubber would have to be resorted to
in consequence OF the increasing scarcity
of the natural product has, for the pres
ent, at all events been allayed. In many
rubber sources the wholesale destruction
of trees by the natives has been stopped,
and odd kinds of rubber are cropping up
from unexpected quarters. Several new
sorts, together with the familiar little
black balls with a white center, come from
! the west coast of Africa.
A new product comes from Madagascar.
1t has horny appearance and contains

not bear cutting up well. 1t is the product
of the banyan, and the rapidity and facil-

an important factor, IN view Of the waste

Choice Vocal and instrumental Muslo-Rev. j.
Fuendeling's Sermon.
AT st. Markus German Evangelical Luth-
eran Church there were elaborate services,
consisting of excellent choral and organ
music. An organ prelude by Rinck began
the exercises, and was followed by the
singing of the hymn 80, for a Thousand
Tongues The musical programme also
comprised "Kyrie," by Reinecke, "Gloria
Patria,' by G. Greith, "Gloria in Excelsis, "
by Ant. f. Suriano Noel" by Adam, a
Christmas anthem by Werner, Lord, How
Shall Be Meeting 2" the Christmas chorus,
This Is Faithful Saying" and postlude
by Bach.
Rev. J. Fuendeling preached from the
text, Behold, l bring you good tidings
OF great joy" In the course of his sermon
be asserted that people were too much in
cllned to forget or ignore the significance
of the coming of Christ, and kept them
selves too lar apart from God, except on
special occasions and days of worship.
The edlfice of the congregation is a new
one. which was completed only last March,
and this was consequently the first Christ
mas service held therein The decorations
were few, only the chancel and altar being
garlanded with choice flowers and vines.
But the absence of floral decorations was
in reality the evidence of extreme good
taste, as the highly artistic finish of the
interior is all-sutficient. its chaste and
simple white and gold being in exquisite
harmony with the richly coIored stained
glass windows.
