\ CHRISTMAS GIFT
TO CHRIST.

Two thousand years ago was heard in
Ramah the voice of Rachel weeping for
her children" To-day is born to us from
the same country the wailing of little
orphans, homeless, naked and hungry.
This is the work of the modern Herod-
Hamid II.
Here, Christmas bells are ringing throug
thousands OF happy, comfortable Chris
tians homes, peace on earth, good will
TO men" There, where Christianity first
foud its welcome, 1901 900 orphan children
of martyrs waiting the coming of the
barest necessities of life.
Never did the Kings business" call for
greater haste. Pulling up grass and
eating it, roots and ALL whole vii
lagos cry as we pass: I'VE are hungry"
"dying daily, from cold, hunger, fever
and exposure ''huddled in stables"
begging from door to door, wandering
about like dogs, eating and sleeping where
they can''-such are the reports of eye
witnesses.
The relief of these sufferers of Christ is
entirely practicable through our heroic
American missionaries who are staying
at their posts all through the devastated
regions, anxious and able to do this very
work If left to the tender mercies of the
Turks, the children will be brought up as
Moslems, the girls being forced into
| Turkish harcms.
The paltry sum of $1,000 will support
one of these orphans for a year. No eX-
pcnse is needed for buildings or for
salaries of those in charge.
How dare we celebrate the birth Of the
| Christ with costly gifts one to another,
with pOmp and circumstance, while those
of whom He spoke, "Inasmuch as We
have done it unto me, perish with
hunger.
Oh, happy children in this favored land,
Will you not THIS YEAR make a birth
day gift to the Christ Child HIMSELF,
represented by one of these: Oh, young
men and women, consecrated to the King 5
work. What better service can you render
IN His Name than the earring for one
of His own little ones: Oh, parents with
empty cradles and vacant chairs, Young
darlings need your tender care no longer.
| They are past your voice to lull, or kiss
to waken, happy
In the far land to shine and sing
Before the Beautiful, the King,
Who every day doth Christmas make
But these other children wandering in
the blackness of despair, reach out. theil
tiny hands for the love and pity they sc
sorely need. Is not this Il work that you
may do in memory of your loved and
lost?
Any gifts for this object should be sent
to Brown Bros Il Co, 80 Wall St, New
York marked For the ORPHAN FUND
of the National Armenian Relief Com
mittee' Send for literature and further
information to Rev. f. ID. Greene, Sec.
11S Bible House. New York.

THE PURE FOOD CRUSADE

In their crusade against impure and
adulterated food, the agents OF the
State Department Of Agriculture, who
have been acting under the direction
of the Dairy and Food Commissioner,
have met with many obstacles, says
the Philadelphia Times. \ Pittsburg
Alderman gave them their first blow
when he decided that oleomargarine
could be sold when labeled as such, and
in West Chester some time ago, in the
face of uncontroverted testimony of the
sale of adulterated food, a jury acquit
ted several dealers who had been prose
cuted under the pure food law Of S93.
But the worst setback 20 their eff
forts is the decision Off Judge Hemphill,
of Ches er county, that the act under
which their proco elings have been
conducted is unconstitutional. This
ruling is undoubtedly popular one,
for it is evident that the movement for
purer food has not been Endorsed by
the majority ofthe citizens ofthe State.
Whether the decision be upheld by the
Supreme Court or not. there are not
likely to be many suits pressed to trial
even in other counties until the consti-
nationality of the act is finally passed
upon.
The possible value of a law that is
intended to protect the citizens of the
Commonwealth from adulterated food
is conceded, and the chief reason why
the act of 1895 was not popular is that
it apparently passes over the real Of
fender in the person of the manutac-
turer of the impure and aduiterated
articles and places the blame and in
ficts the punishment on the retail deal
or, who has no means of knowing
whether or not the food which he buys
at wholesale is what it is represented
to be. If the act of 1895 be finally de-
cided unconstitutional, another law
with a similar purpose, but with the
defects remedied. may bepassed by the
Legislature that will have more poprl-
lar support.
1t may he argued that the laws OF
this Commonwealth cannot reach the
manufacturer in other States who sells
his goods in Pennsylvania; but if the
purity of the home product were as
sured, the wise retail dealer, TO save
himself, would buy from the home mar
ket, and in this way the food industries
of the State would receive encourage
ment The conservation of the public
health, however, is the only preteNt
for any law of this kind, and the per
sons upon whom the punishment may
fall are of secondary importance.

There is an earnest demand in some
of the newspapers that the debate on

Britain and the United States shall be
held in open session of the Senate, and
Il number of Senators are said to be CO.

that there should be any question about
this matter? Is it not remarkable that
it should require effort on anybody S
part to secure public debate of the
treaty? Why should there be any Sc

WORKING FOR UNION.

The third anniversary meeting OF the
state organization of the Daughters of the
Revolution was held on Saturday at the
home of the regent, Mrs. Thomas Hill, No.
1902 McCulloh street, Baltimore. Mrs.
Hill made an address. The reports of the
various committees were submitted and
the question of uniting with the Daughters
of the American Revolution was discussed.
Since the organization of the society, four
of its members have died, one has removed
to another state and two have resigned.
Each member of the society will be en-
titled to a vote on the question of union
with the Daughters of the American Rev
olution, the ballots to be sent to the Gen
eral Society Headquarters, 15G Fifth ave-
nue. New York, by February 1. The So
ciety numbers 1900 in the United States,
and its members must be lineal descend
ants of those who took active part in the
membership persons who are connected
by affinity with Revolutionary families.
Its membership is very large in compari-
son with that of the newer organization.
The objects and aims of both societies
are the same. A friendly rivalry exists
between them, but there is no antagonism.
In the newer society the state organiza-
tons have more independence than those
it seems that the Capitalization of govern
ment must be discontinued.
The plan of union to be voted upon was
prepared by a joint committee, composed
of members from each society, and is in
substance as follows: The name of the
new organization shall be National Society
of the United Daughters of the American
Revolution. Members of the older society,
who have entered on collateral claims
shall, if possible, establish lineal claims to
Revolutionary ancestors. Membership
granted on collateral. claims shall not be
hereditary.
The younger society asks that the con-
stitution of the other society be SO amend
| ed before union of the two societies as to
provide in the future for a system of state
societies subordinate to the national So
ciety. This is advised by the committee
in the belief that the system of state So
cicties tends to broaden the work of the
| whole society, and avoids the danger of
concentration of power in one locality or
in few hands. All chapters of the young
er society shall become chapters Of the
| other without change of officers, and shall
carry on their work as heretofore. In
states where there is at present a regent
Of the younger society and one of the old
er, both regents shall resign and an cleo
| ton shall be held to fill the office. The
first state officers to be elected after consol-
| idation shall be nominated by committee
| comprising members of both societies.

The Administration has received no
little criticism upon its foreign policy.
One of the influential Western dailies
recently declared that Secretary Olney
and Mr. Cleveland have thoroughly

1t is said that CanOvas, Olney and
Weyler are attempting to arrange the
terms on which Cuba shall hereafter
he ruled by Spain. But the singular
part of the whole affair is that the Gu
bans do not appear to have been con-
suited at all. Mr.. Olney seems to
represent them by his own appoint
ment. The patriots, however, will re-
pudiate any such interference.
