Primus oil stove, one of the best, if
not the very best, up-to-date stoves on
the market. 1t is absolutely odorless,
and burns a gas generated in the bur-

plumbers use, doing away. with char
coal, and for the use of painters, thus
doing away with the expensive and
dangerous gasOlene.

Christmas.

There are grave doubts whether in
deed Christ was born on the day we
celebrate as his nativity; but the mere
fact of the belief that he was born on
this day has made it by all odds the
greatest day in the calendar of years.
1t has brought more comfort, and con-
ISOLATION, and joy, and gladness, to the
world than any other day celebrated
by the nations. We hope that it will
so continue We hope that good old
Santa Claus will be permitted to live
and distribute gladness to the little
ones az long as the world shall last.
We hope that in every home where
the Banner is read Tomorrow it will
find mirth and sunshine and happi-
ness. We wish all OF our readers and
friends in Ocala; in the county; in
all the states of the Union, and in dis
tant lands-in far-off China, Japan
and Brazil, Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year.

Bishop Gray il oeala.

On last Sunday morning a large con-
gregation assembled at Grace Episco.
pal church to listen to a most learned
sermon preached by Bishop Gray, of
the Southern Diocese of Flo ida.
AT eleven o'clock the services were
begun with the beautiful hymn, 'On.
ward, Christian Soldiers" sung by the
choir and choirlster boys.
Bishop Gray took As his text the
words: The Holy Scriptures" and
preached one Of the most earnest, orig
inal, forceful and eloquent sermons
ever heard in that building. He held
that the church antedated the bible
and hence came first and the bible
afterwards. He showed c0nclusively
that this was so under the old as well
as the new dispensation. He said that
1t was thirty years after the cruciiix-
ion before the gospel of st. Mathew
was written; that it was forty, fifty,
and sixty years before some of the
other books of the New Testament
were written, and more than one hun
dred years before the book of Revela-
tions enriched this wonderful litera-
ture. That there were greas many
other books written by eminent, sin
cere and pious mfn that formed
part of the christian theology until
rejected as uneanOnical at the council
of Nice. Hence the learned divine
held that in matters If doubt and dis
pute, the earnest :, eaer af'er light
must be guided aud governed by lhe
church and its intefpre' alton of these
grave problems. He said The Bible,
the English version, which we have
treasured f0l so long a time, and
which has given comfort and consola-
ton to so many souls, was the gift of
the Anglican church; that these faith
full translatOrs all owed allegiance to
this branch Of the church. lie ilci-

When man owns bl0oded horse
he is always careful of its health. He
looks after its diet and is particular
that the feeding shall be regular and

cannot work, be will begin to give

come from impure or impoverished
blood. Keep the blood pure and
strong and disease can find no foot

which Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical

fies and enriches the blood, puts and

Some Startling Figures.

The New York Sun in an editorial

so that the differences drawn is that a
great proportion Of pensioners are un-
worthy of government bounty and that
the list should be cut down. Figures
recently published show that at the pres
ent rate of expenditure the annual pen
sion list has been consuming more than
e-tenths Of the revenue taken in al all
the custom houses in tho United States !;
or again, if the customs duties are con-
si,lerel as paying the general expenses
of the government, the pensions have
been using mp not less than 96 per cent.
of the total receipts from internal rev.

Of the civil war, the number of pen
sioners on account OF the war exceeds
by about Il quarter of million the
number of soldiers actually engaged in
service in all the armies of the govern
ment at any time between tho firing
upon Sumpter to the surrender of Lee
at Appomatox. The number of pen
sioners after a third of century is be-
tween 80 and 40 per cent larger than
the fighting army at any time during
the war. We have already paid in
pensions since the war two billion dol
lars or two-thirds as much asit cost the
government to carry on the war;
