The Necessity of Christ.

Inc NeScbsIty u SuEA1A'
Are you ready now for thought that
overtowers all other thoughts in impor-
tance and grandeur? Pray that you may
be ready. 1t rs far exceeds anything I
have said as all the gold mines of Califor-
mia, developed and undsveloped, exceed
the thilnbleful Of gold dust which in 1873
California miner brought from q mill
race and put upon the desk Ct a surprised
capitalist. In remarking upon the narrow
escape which you and l and the world
made let me say that had the Herodic raid
on that room OF the Bethlehem khan been
successful raid or had some cold taken by
tho child in that flight toward Cairo been
fatal heaven would have been to us an
eternal impossibility. With our fallen ma
ture unchanged, unregenerated, unrecon-
structed through Jesus Christ, the human
race would DE DO more fit for heaven than
noisome wesd Is fit for queen gar
land, no mere than shattered bass viol
is fit to sound in Dusseldorf musical ju-
bilee. If at one time Garibaldi seemed to
hold III his right hand the freedom of
Italy, and Washington seemed at one time
to hold in his right hand American indie
pendence, and Martin Luther seemed TO
hold IN his right hand the emancipation
of the church Of God for all nations, go in
grander and better sense the infant born
In that Bethlehem stall held in one hand
the ransom Of earth and in the other the
rapture of heaven. He started that night
for three places which he must reach, or
we never could reach heaven, Gethselpana
and Calvary and Olivet, the frat for ago.
nizing prayer, the second for excruciRting
suffering, thu third for glorious ascension
as the law Ct grayitntion relaxed for ouce
to lot him up out Of his exile. Had his
life been only one day or one year Of dura-
tion instead OF SO years, had no died in
Bethlehem or In Cairo or in the desert be-
tween, not church would ever have been
built, not hospital ever opened, not a
nation ever freed, not a civilization ever
inapgurated, not a soul saved Oh, what

you brought the gold Wh1ch PAID MS trav-
cling expenses and those of Joseph and
Mary in that long and dangerous fight to
Cairo, In Egypt, and faid their lodging
and board there and paid their way back
again! Well enough to bring to the barn
Of the Sayiour's nativity the flowers, for
they aromatized the dreadfcl atmosphere
of the stables. but the gold was just then
the most important Offering. So now the
Lord accepts your prayers, for they arc the

the gold which will Ray the expense of

A Graveyard Peace.
Still further remarls;ng upon the mar
row escape which you and and the world
had in the diversion Of tho prosecutors
from the place Of nativity, Let me say that
had that Herodie raid upon tho swaddling
clothes been successful the world would
never have known the value of a right
eous peace. Much has been made of the
fact that the world was at peace when
Christ came. Yes. But what kind Of a
peace was itS II was peace worse than
war. It was the peace Of graveyard.
The Roman eagles had plucked out the
worlds eyeslght and plunged their beaks
through tho heart OF dead nations. It was
a peace like that spoken Of by dying In
dian ohieftain when Christian home mis-
sionary said to him, "You have been =
warrior and suppose have been in many

your enemies In order to die Alright" The

The Beauty OF Christmas.

Then, to begin Oh the outermost rim OF
my subject Christmas festivities would
never have been observed, Christmas car
oils never sung, Christmas gifts never be-
slowed Christmas games never played,
Christmas bells never runR. What an aw-
full subtraction from the worlds bright
ness would have been the making Of
Dec. 25 like other days of the yearl
aud Holland and Germany for centuries
1t stopped across the sea and pronounced
It's benodiction on our shores. Why, we
never get over our childhood Chrstmases!
Father and mother joined in them. They
forgot their rheulnatisms and shortness Of
breath, and for awhile threw of the sor-
ruws OF a lifetime while they struggled
with us as to who should first in the morn
Ing shout the Merry Christmasi" Then
there were all the innocent allurements az
to who brought the presents, and the won
dermsnt ms to how sleighs drawn by rein
deer could come down the perpendicular,
and afterward tho disappointment as some
older brother or sister, with all the pride
Of discovery, tried to persuade us that tho
chimney had not been tho channel Of gen.
erous descent. Oh, what times they were,
the Christmases Of our boyhood md girl
hood days We still feel In our pulses
some of the exuberance which vic then un-
Willingly stored up for future times, when
the eye might lose some OF its luster and
the foot some Of Its spring and the heart
some Of It's rebound. How holly and roso-
mary and Ivy and mistletoe looked intor.
wovenl The Puritans may not have liked
the day, and John Calvin may have pro-
nounced 1t superstitious and feared u
would bring into religious observance the
saturnalia Of the heather, the decorations
Of Ivy inappropriate because Ivy had been
dedicated to Bncchus and mistletoc inap.
propriate because mistletoe had been 40.

TIE 1MPATIENr PUBLIC.

There is a familiar story told here in
the west of a dance hall in a mining
town on the interior walls of which
were placards which read: please do
not shoot the musician, he is doing the
best he can" This story might apply
in a. measure to the government in the
present critical situation.
Were it but q matter of indemnity for
the loss of the Maine, or were it a ques-
ton of Cuban freedom which is to be
settled, perhaps less Impotence would
be shown. But while the blood of near
" 800 Americans who were sent to
death by Spanish treachery, is crying
out for vengeance and while human be-
ings are starving to death by thousands
and nOncombatants are being butchered
it is not surprising that people actual
ed by sentiments of humanity should
want to hurry forward to some ag-
gressive action.
The report of the naval court of in
quiry is expected to reach Washington
this week. If it should prove to be
what everybody anticipates, it looks as
though something must then be decided
upon.
Through it all, however, defenseless
people is being starved and murdered
at our very doors, enough of itself to
Justify in the eyes of the world not on
" what has been done but much more
that has so far been left undone.

the players have signed now except
Brockway the new short stop. Ander-

way. who succeeds Charley Perry at
short, is a very fast ball player, and a
better all round player than Perry
Dusty Miller the new first baseman,
is a tremendous batter, and an excel
lent player. Stricklett, the new third
baseman is a better player, in the opln-
ion of Howe, than Tommy Cope, whom
he succeeds. Howe expects great
deal from Dick Brown this season. An
derson, the new catcher, is said to be
all right The yellow Kid will also be

ROTTEN STATE OF AFFAIRS
Evidence That the Oil Inspection
Bureau Doesn't Inspect.

State Coal Oil Inspector E. V. Wharton
is placed in an absurd position on ac-
count of an incident that occurred at
Garrett a few days ago. Lewis & Son,
hardware merchants of Garnett, received
a barrel of coal oil from the Standard Oil
company at Kansas City. On the head
of the barrel was WhartOn's stamp. show
ing that the contents had been inspected
and that it tested ''1e0' A clerk started
to pump it into a regular tank in the
store ana he discovered that it did not
mix with the oil already in there. Upon
inspection it was found that the barrel of
oil inspected and stamped ''160" by Whar-
ton was a barrel of water.
The Standard Oil company was notified
and replied that the employees had been
washing out barrels and that, by mistake,
they had cOrked up the barrel of water,
thinking it to be oil Another barrel of
oil was sent to the firm.
This incident makes an explanation due
from DR. Wharton to how his 20. X"
came to be on the barrel of water. There
is little doubt that all of the inspection
of oil' is a rank fraud. It isn't inspect
ed
