RENOUkCE CHRISTMAS.

Deny the Holiness of Christ

Deny the Holiness Of Christ.
There are millions upon millions Of
people in the world who viii not cclc-
hrate Christmas. and there are other
millions 20 whom Christmas is objec-
tiohable, says the New York Herald.
Take the followers Of Molammed
for instance. They are divided into
80 or 30 different sCcts. among which
are the NoGsay-rIe-y Ell. There are
GLoNt $4,000 Of them, and they believe
in tTanspigration of tie soul. They
believe that mems souls pass after
death into the bodies of animals. For
item the story o. The birth ard life
OF Christ has no charms.
Then there are the Druses, who pro-
f"ss 10 have knowledge that God has
visited the world "a times, but they
do not bel!eTe il Christ. For them
Christmas has no significance.
1t is equally disregarded by Bud.
dhists, japanese, Chinese, Erahmius
and Mohammedans. "Tllere is no God
but Allah Gays the Mohammedans,
and sohammcd is His prophet" Mo-
hammed's followers also have curious
notions in regard 10 the fate of the I'M
believers children. Some believe tina;
these children act as the servants of
the faithful in Paradise, and Moham-
med is recorded as saying on one &C.
casion to his wife:
IF thou dcsircst can make thee
hear their cries in hades."
Other Mohammedan authorities,
however. dissent from this view, and
one OF them boldly says: II know that
Allah will not torment these who have
not committed any sin"

A NEW SCHEME.
Governor Johnston Recommends a Permanent
 Refugee and Military Camp.

Special to The Age-Herald.
 Mong ggomery, Dec. 2.-Gov Johnston made a suggestion today which will likely be received in the state with a good deal of favor. It is briefly this; That the state establish, at s5me cen tral point, a, permanent combination state encampment ground and refugee camp. It is estimated that this can be easily done at a cost of $10,OOO. Its prac- tical utility. will be obvious
 The governor has not defined in his own mind all of the details of tte scheme, but his idea appears to be to locate some entirely desirable place, build there commodlous and permanent cooking houses, storage rooms, etc, and to provide and keep stored away on the premises tenlts sufficient to accommodate some 30,000 people.
 Had such an institution been in ex- fstence during the past three months the blessing tit would have been to Monit- gomery will be easily appreciated. Il is probable the governor will perfect his scheme and cause a bill provid ng for the establishment of such an institution to be introduced into the next legislature.
