The Megsage Of Christmas.
(By Prof. George D. Herron.)

(By Prof. George D. Herron.)
To the man who really believes in the
mode of life revealed in Christ and wha
accepts Chr1st's righteousness as the thing
he will stand by, Christmas is a time OF
joyful victory. He has victorious reasons
for a contagious and triumphant joy.
Christmas is his reminder that unto all
peoples unto all nations and systems and
politics and institutions, a. Savior has
been born. Evil is no longer a problem.
The freeing of man from wrong and OPP
preston is on longer a question. The saw
ing of the world is an accomplished fact,
and evil is not now to be reckoned with,
having no place in the world. The law of
love is not something that is some time to
govern and prevail; no other law is gov
erning and prevailing; only we are COM
pelling it to govern us retributively in
stead of through our Willingness and ODE
dience. The miseries of individuals, the
revolutions and miSeries of nations, the
problems of society," are simply the con-
fiict of human self-will with the law of
love and the anarchy coming therefrom
Every rally of selfishnesS is a collision
with God, with the result that God does
not get out of the way. The works Of
sin or self-interest are the works of weak
ness and defeat The king and his king
dom are here When we cease to be rebels,
when professional religion ceases to wor-
ship the devil and his dominion under the
name of God and religion. we shall behold
the king in his glory, in the beauty and
harmony Of his righteousness. and So
c-ety Will no longer De problem. Inc
real problem is that of getting man to ac-
cept Christian law of love, which is indi-
vidual, social and national salvation.
The immediate and victorious work be-
fore Christianity is that of demanding q
civilization in which an individual Christ
ian life is possible. We are in the tolls of
an industrial civilization, which makes a
guiltless life and the highest personal
ideals known to man unattainabe. We
cannot eat food, wear clotes, build houses,
walk the streets, travel, write books,
move hand, foot. voice or pen, without
partaking of the blood of men and women
and children. Civilization denies to the
individual standing ground in the world
on which to live the Christian life-the life
Christ commands-except through ira
gedy. Christianity must demand and pro-
cure a Christian civilization, a Christian
life of Christendom. Only so is Christmas
day a reality to those who bear Christ $
name. Only so can Christianity speak
with authority, and not as the scribes, Of
a Savior born unto all the peoples.

AN AMERICAN TO VISIT GOMEZ
CLOSE UP THE ESTATE OF a
NEWSPAPER MAN.
Joy Over the Conclusion of Peace In
the notwithstanding Elections
In Spain.

Washington, Dec. 24-An official dis
patch received here states that the
Spanish authorities at Havana have
granted permission to Sylvester SEQ
vile to accompany Rafael Madrigal,
the United States consular agent at
Sancti Spiritus. to the camp of Insur-
gent Commander in Chief General Go
mez The trip of the consular agent is
made for the purpose of closing UP the
estate of an American correspondent
killed in Cuba, the assets having been
in the hands of General Gomez for
some time. Beyond these there is said
to be no significance in this visit of the
agent to the Cuban headquarters.
Scoville's mission, however, is one of
observation. He is an American cor
respondent, and was arrested in Cuba
about a year ago. His case attracted
wide attention and was discussed in
congress. The grant of transports to
this mission to GomeZ'S camp is cited
by the Spanish authorities as an in
stance of the freedom which General
Blanco permits correspondents to con-
duct their Investigations. The fact
that the American agent and Scoville
proceed together will give the former
an opportunity to share in the obServa-
TONS but there is said to be no pTr-
pose on his part to do more than close
up the estate.
Madrigal is not an American, but is
appointed because of his residence at
Sancti Spiritus. and by virtue of the
appointment he carries with him the
protection and prestige of the United
States government

TROUBLE OF SALVAT|ONISTS
GEN. WILLIAM BOOTH INTER
VIEWED IN LONDON.
Grieved Over the Illness of Mrs. Bal
lington Booth-Prospects of Rec
onciliation-His American Trip.

New York, Dec. pa special to the
World from London says:
General William Booth is profoundly
distressed by the news of the grave i'll
ness Of Mrs. Darlington Booth. The
World correspondent journeyed to Bar
net, where the general is staying at
the house Of his son, Bramwell Booth,
but the venerable leader of the Saliva
ton Army was unable to see anyone.
The special cable dispatch received
pointing out that the associates of Mrs.
Ballington Booth aScribed her danger
Gus illness to the harsh treatment she
received at the hands of the Salvation
Army leader, which broke her spirit
and destroyed her health, was shown
to the general by Bramwell Booth.
The general replied: Under these sad
circumstances It is impossible for me
to make any controversial statement.
can only express my deep sympathy
with my sen in his trouble, and my
hopes for Mrs. Booths speedy recoV-
cry"
General Booth declined to say any
thing further on this subject. He was
busily engaged preparing for his de-
parture for the United States, which is
set for Jan. 8, when the news of Mrs.
Booths illness reached him. This great
~. depressed him, and he Immediately
cabled a message of fatherly sympathy
with his son in his trouble.
Commissioner Nicol, the first plenipo-
tertiary sent to the United States at
the time of the secession from the Sal
walton Army Of Mr.. and Mrs. Balling-
ton Booth, said to the World CORE
spondent at Salvation Army head
quarters today:
General Booth is suffering the most
intense agony over Mrs. Booths illness,
and his only hope now is that he may
reach New York in time to see her and
his SON.
I presume reconciliation is the OBJ
ject of his mission to New York;"
We'll 1 am not at liberty" replied
Commissioner Nicol, Ito speak on that
subject, but the general will explain
his object at a general farewell meet
ing to be held at Albert hall, London,
on the 9Th of January.
1t will be one of the biggest and
most important assemblages ever ar
ranged by the Salvation army
is General Booths recent cablegram
of sympathy the first communication
made by him to Ballington Booth since
the latter's secession from the army?'
1T is, excepting the communications
relating to the controversy, all of which
have not been published.
Although the leaders of the Salvation
Army are too diplomatic to make any
premature admission, the correspond
ent gathered sufficient information to
show that they fully expect the dissen-
sions which have existed in the army
for the past two years will be healed
as a result of General Booths visit to
the United States.

A Glad Christmas Coming.
(By Edwin D. wheelock. Chicago.)

(By Edwin D. Wheelock. Chicago)
The world has yet to learn the true and
larger meaning of Christmas. The redemp-
tive plan of God for humanity reaches far
beyond anything we have been willing to
believe. and because of this unbelief, the
mighty works which the Christ came to
do are still for us undone. His part has
been finished for IS centuries. His blessed
plan of ION earth peace, good will toward
men" has been waiting all these centuries
for humanity to enter in and possess it.
Thank God for all the Christmas cheer,
for all the light carried into poor hearts
and homes but let us not shut our eyes
to the fact that for one person made hap
Ply on Christmas. we make a hundred to
suffer the year round, and that up to this
enlightened year of our Lord eighteen
hundred and ninety-seven, all of our social
affairs are on basis of distinct and def
mite antagonism to the plan of Jesus of
Nazareth. Much of his teachings we re-
ject as impractical; the sermon on the
mount we call beautiful theory. and the
idea of business and society being con-
Quoted on his divine plan of denying self
for others good brings stonings and pill
tories for those bold enough to preach it.
But the light is breaking, and the num-
Der who are willing to believe that Jesus
means exactly what he says is rapidly in
creasing.

Home of Micawbarg Disappearing.

A Christmas of brotherhood.

(By Hon. Samuel Jones, Toledo. o.
The larger Christmas 1 am looking for

Drofessed followers. | want Christmas

when no one will be deSpised because his
hands are hard or because he is poor. L
fancy the carpenter of Nazareth had
hard hands when he worked at his trade,
and that he was poor we know, for he
had not where to lay his head"

such preaching of his gospel as will lead
rich men who are members OF aristOcratic
organizations known as churches" to
know that making gifts to charity and en-
dowing universities does not make them

fires being lighted in almost all Of the

cent over the wages of last year. They
have. however. it is estimated. lost

was per cent lower than what they

The factories are clear OF old glass, a
condition they have not experienced
since 1878. The companies began issu-

SANTA CLAUS UP TO DATE.

There are signs rapidly increasing in
number and intensity that such a new
birth UP into a consuming passion for
more completely salutary service is at
hand. Not only the church but far be-
yond it men and women are beginning to
reach out into the world in social redemp-
tive life, doing literally what Jesus did,
as never before. Far enough, however,
are we from that fire of passion which is
sufficiently intense to drive the engines
of our political and social machines right
Redemption from impending national
perils will be certain and swift if Christ
ian citizens will do their citizenship with
that passion which moved Jesus to save
hopeful sign of THE Larger Christmas"
The passion of Jesus needs new mean
ing and new direction and new application
of power. This alone can save us from
fatal apathy.
