CHRISTMAS.
Facts Which Show That This Holiday Is
Chrlst's birthday.

Facts Which Show That This Holiday Is
Christ's birthday.
Is to-day the veritable anniversary Of
the birth of Jesus of Nazareth? 1t is
a question often asked, but never quite
satisfactorily answered. Reverent pre-
disposition can always find sufficient
evidence to answer yes, while it is to be
noted that the question of itself i'm
plies a degree of religious skepticism
Men have even stood in pulpits with
little enough to do to devote an hours
oratory to the disproof fit. It's quite
as certain that Jesus was born on the
25th of December as that Augustus,
the emperor under whom he was born,
was born in the siXty-third year before
him. or that Tiberius, the emperor
under whom he died, came into the
world forty-two years, one month and
nine days before him. That is to say, it
is the decent habit of the world to ac-
cept what testimony, tradition and his
tory have to offer concerning the birth
days of the great and Herewith be con-
tent.
1t is certain that as early as the year
$50 the date we now celebrate was uni
versally recognized among Christians
without a question as their Saviours
natal day. That fact alone is all-suf-
ficient for succeeding generations. Ii
all records and illusions to the date OF
the birth of George Washington were
to be blotted from all American writ
ings earlier than 1900 it would be suf-
fcient for posterity that at the begin
ming of the twentieth century the 22d
of February was universally recognized.
and that the day was observed as legal
holiday. This is the best foundation
we have for the authenticity Of Decem-
Der 25 as the birthday of Jesus.
In the year 140 st. Justin Martyr, the
first great Christian apologist, said that
the best record extant of the birthday
of Christ was to be found in the archives
at Rome. Addressing the emperor and
Roman senate, he said: There is GER
tain village in the land of Judea, dis
tant thirty-five stadia from Jerusalem,
in which Christ Jesus was born, as We
can learn from the enrollments COM
pleted under Cyrenius, your first pro-
curator in Jerusalem" In the year 200
Tertullian said the same thing: FL
nally, concerning the census enrolment
of Augustus, which the Roman archives
preserve as faithful witness of the
Lords nativity" Any man in the nine
tenth century who wants more ex-
plicit proof OF a matter that is not of
great vital moment anyway must have
in his mind private scheme in which
the rest of the world can have no pos
sible interest.-Detroit Evening News.

4 Good Word.

Joe was a youth of such exceeding
popularity with his uncles and aunts
that his mother was compelled to call
a halt on her too-indulgcnt brothers
and sisters. who. she claimed, with JUS
tice, were spelling the youngster with
their reckless generosity ard rendering
him needless of the value of property.
"Whv. do YOU know" she said to one
of the too-indulgent aunts, TO whom
she was explaining her trouble, the
little rascal received fifty presents this
very Christmas"
"oh, mammal" exclaimed the young
person in question, more than that. /

She had lain for six monthsi in the big

ago the family physician had taken the
husband aside and broken the news to

"It is malignant growth" he said,

about that. 1 am afraid, my dear fell

And to them. in this situation, the

All day in the big room three doctors

Across the hallway the husband sat be-

The tunnblc he got didn't bother him much,
For it happened he landed just right;
Bot sorry indeed was Santa to see
All around him so sorry sight;
The damage was great, but he quickly repaired
Everything that was injured at all,
And oat on his journey he went forth again
None the worse for his terrible fail.

Old Santa had climbed, with fine Christmas tree,
Down chimney at just twelve o'clock,
And decked it all over with gifts and toys
Using up good part of his stock;
There were soldiers and do1ibabes, guns and books,
Hanging all about over the tree,
And little wax candles of every hue,
Besides candies as thick as could be.

Bot, alas! poor Santa, his smile soon changed
To comical grimace Of pain,
FOR, leaning far back On his shaky perch
A good view of the prctties to gain,
The jolly old sou1lost his balance and fell
To the floor with horrible crash,
And grabbing the tree Brought it down on his head
With toy-breaking, ruinous smash.

And beheld the magnificent tree.

The Democratic papers Of the
Extensively partisan species are
very much exercised over the can
didates that the Republican party
is likely to bring to the front in
the coming campaign. At the
same time it is noticeable that they
maintain a strict silence as to the
mocratic possibilities. Does this
arise from the fact that even these
journals recognize that the candi-
dates Of the party now in power
are all to be impossibilities: All
the same the Republican are not
worrying. There is good timber
enough and to spare and wisdom
will decide that selection when
the time comes.
